Chapter 247: Putting Blame On Zhang Clan
Chapter 247: Putting Blame On Zhang Clan
"From what I know, demonic cultivator Liu Fen seems to have a close relationship with your Zhang clan," the female cultivator next to the middle-aged cultivator smiled and said.
"It’s just an ordinary relationship," Zhang Chong said as he shook his head, "This junior of mine just entered the respected sect at the same time as her; that’s all there is to it."
"I’m sure there are many others in similar situations in the Wind Thunder Sect," Zhang Chong said.
"There are naturally many who know the demonic cultivator, but the only ones who have treated her so closely and taken her in were just your Zhang clan."
The middle-aged cultivator sighed as he said, "Your Zhang clan’s relationship with the demonic cultivator is not ordinary, I’m sure. That demonic cultivator revealed many of your secrets in the prison."
"Damnit!"
Hearing the middle-aged cultivator’s words, Zhang Chong could not help but gnash his teeth.
Liu Fen was currently in the Wind Thunder Sect’s hands.
With cultivators’ methods, it was to be expected that Liu Fen would reveal much.
In the past, the Zhang clan had not hidden too much from someone like Liu Fen, and if one wanted to, they could get much from her.
Zhang Chong sighed and said, "The matter with demonic cultivator Liu Fen has nothing to do with my Zhang clan."
"You can say that, but who will believe you?" The middle-aged cultivator’s smile became wider as he said softly, "In fact, I heard that there are even more demonic cultivators hidden in the Zhang clan."
"That’s impossible!" Zhang Chong said resolutely, "If the ambassador does not believe me, you can search the Zhang clan’s residence and see if there is anyone with demonic qi."
"That won’t be necessary," the middle-aged cultivator shook his head as he said, "It’s just that in order to prove that the Zhang clan is not harboring any demonic cultivators, I will need your clan leader to head to the sect and personally deal with that demonic cultivator. That is why I have come."
He smiled and revealed his true aim.
Have the Zhang Chong’s clan leader head to the Wind Thunder Sect.
Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present changed.
Since a long time ago, Sharky had not returned to the Wind Thunder Sect and had stayed in Nine Peaks City.
There were even rumors that the Zhang Chong’s clan leader’s cultivation was not inferior to the Wind Thunder Sect’s Elders and that he had reached the Bone and Soul Refining Realm realm.
However, even if he had Bone and Soul Refining Realm cultivation, if he headed to the Wind Thunder Sect’s territory, he would still be captured.
After all, the Wind Thunder Sect not only had the Sect Master and Elders but also the Guardian Formation.
Once the Guardian Formation was activated, even someone at the Bone and Soul Refining Realm realm would be suppressed.
Why would they ask the clan leader to head to the Wind Thunder Sect at a time like this?
The expressions of the Zhang clan’s people fell.
Seeing this, the middle-aged cultivator gave a slight smile.
This matter of Liu Fen being a demonic cultivator caused much chaos, but to the three major sects, it was an opportunity.
The Zhang clan had been rapidly growing in the past 5 years, making them feel quite wary.
Moreover, they also felt quite envious of all of the profitable spirit gardens that the Zhang clan managed.
All three major sects had long since wanted to suppress the Zhang clan but had never been able to find an opportunity.
After all, the Zhang clan had a Bone and Soul Refining Realm cultivator protecting it.
If that Bone and Soul Refining Realm cultivator could escape, things would be quite troublesome.
It was because of that that the three major sects did not dare to act against the Zhang clan, maintaining the status quo.
However, this matter had changed the status quo.
For the Wind Thunder Sect, this matter gave them an excuse to attack the Zhang clan.
The Wind Thunder Sect was the sect that Sharky was from, so they had a good reason to summon the Zhang clan’s clan leader about this matter.
If Sharky did not go, they could say that he felt guilt due to harboring demonic cultivators.
However, if he did go...
The middle-aged cultivator could not help but smile.
If the Zhang clan’s clan leader went, he most likely would not be able to make it out.
If it was outside, even multiple Bone and Soul Refining Realm Elders simultaneously acting might not be enough to kill a Bone and Soul Refining Realm cultivator, and it was likely that this would cause future problems.
If it was within the Wind Thunder Sect, this would be much easier.
After activating the Guardian Formation, combined with a few Bone and Soul Refining Realm realm Elders, Sharky would have no chance of escaping.
When that time came, after losing the clan leader, the Zhang clan would be defenseless.
The Wind Thunder Sect would then be able to take anything they wanted.
At that moment, Zhang Chong and the others all thought many things.
"This..." Looking at the middle-aged cultivator, Zhang Chong fell silent for a while before speaking, "Can we send someone else? Our clan leader is still in closed-door training and is unable to leave. Can this old man go?"
Zhang Chong smiled as he continued, "In terms of status, this old man used to be the clan leader and can represent the Zhang clan."
"As for that demonic cultivator, this old man is familiar with her, so it would be appropriate for me to go."
Looking at Zhang Chong and the others’ expressions, the middle-aged cultivator laughed and said, "Why does old clan leader Zhang feel so worried?
"The Zhang clan’s clan leader is also from our Wind Thunder Sect and is an Inner Court Disciple. Him going back is just dealing with the demonic cultivator; it is not a big deal."
"Even if our sect punishes him, what can we do to him? We just want the Zhang clan’s clan leader to go and investigate and will not do anything else."
The middle-aged cultivator smiled and said, "This one can promise that nothing will happen to the Zhang clan’s clan leader, and he will safely return."
He looked incredibly serious and sincere. No matter how things turned out, he would at least say this now.
When Sharky really entered the Wind Thunder Sect, whatever happened would not be his fault.
The middle-aged cultivator’s smile became wider.
In front of him, some of the Zhang clan members felt somewhat convinced.
"Could it be... it really is just a normal summoning?"
"Indeed, our Zhang clan has been here for many years; why would the Wind Thunder Sect act against us..."
Looking at the middle-aged cultivator’s sincere expression, they thought to themselves.
Even Zhang Chong began to hesitate.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and felt quite wary.
He looked at the middle-aged cultivator and forced a slight smile as he said, "Ambassador..."
"No need to say anything else."
Looking at Zhang Chong, the middle-aged cultivator stood up as he said, "I have said what I came to say; how you proceed will be up to your clan leader. Can you please give me an answer so I can go back and report?"
The moment he spoke, his aura spread out, weighing down on everyone’s chests.
In that instant, everyone’s expressions slightly changed as they felt a great pressure.
"Foundation Building!"
They looked at the middle-aged cultivator in shock.
After developing for 5 years, apart from Sharky, the Zhang clan only had a few Foundation Building cultivators.
Of the Zhang clan members present, only Zhang Ya and Zhang Chong was at Foundation Building.
Sensing the aura coming from the middle-aged cultivator, their expressions slightly changed as they felt that pressure.
Looking at this, Zhang was going to release her pressure, but then, clear footsteps could be heard from outside, walking towards where they were.
Bang! Bang!
The sound of heartbeats could be heard, as if a ferocious beast was approaching.
After that aura appeared, everyone sensed some changes.
The surroundings seemed to lose color, and within the world, there seemed to only be those heavy footsteps.
The middle-aged cultivator’s expression finally changed.
Perhaps others did not feel much, but at that moment, he felt a suffocating pressure.
Every footstep felt as if it was stepping on his body, feeling like a massive mountain weighing down on him.
It felt as if a demon god was slowly approaching this place.
Bang!
In the next moment, his face became incredibly pale and he stumbled backwards, looking outside in disbelief.
Under his gaze, a young man’s figure slowly appeared.
The young man was very handsome, and even though his appearance looked quite young, he had an ancient look in his eyes and gave off an extraordinary aura.
Just by standing there, he seemed like the center of the world, and his massive aura covered this entire region, turning it into his own domain.
Looking at the young man, the middle-aged cultivator was stunned and his face became pale.
"Bone and Soul Refining Realm..."
Standing there and looking at the young man, he gritted his teeth and realized who he was.
Apart from the Zhang clan’s clan leader, who could have such presence and might?
This was their target, and now that they saw him, they could not help but feel shocked.
The might from the Zhang clan’s clan leader was much stronger than other Bone and Soul Refining Realm cultivators he had seen.
Bone and Soul Refining Realm was above Foundation Building, and only those at Foundation Building Completion could break through and rank up.
Such experts were rare even in the Wind Thunder Sect, and they were absolute experts. They were all Elders in the Wind Thunder Sect and enjoyed exceptional treatment.
However, from what the middle-aged cultivator could sense, the might from the Zhang clan’s clan leader was much stronger than from the Wind Thunder Sect’s Elders.
To be able to come to the Zhang clan as an ambassador, his strength was not weak, and he was near the peak of the Foundation Building.
