Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Zhang Yuanjing approached the southeastern gate of Tianque Mountain from the ground and entered with the command token.

The disciples guarding the mountain breathed a collective sigh of relief when they saw that it was a True Person from their own sect. A clever one quickly ran to the sound transmission array on the side to report the news to the Hall of Mysterious Governance.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator said, "True Person, your return is timely! Recently, a powerful enemy has come to challenge us, with a large force, and the sect is in imminent danger. We need your strength to turn the tide!"

"Imminent danger?" Zhang Yuanjing was taken aback and quickly asked, "Has the Mountain Protection Array been breached?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator was stunned by his question, and couldn't help but become nervous, stammering, "Not, not yet breached. It's just that, the enemy is challenging us, and the sect doesn't have enough True Persons to fight."

Zhang Yuanjing was filled with doubts and asked again, "If the other party is challenging us, we can simply ignore them. Why do we need to go out of the array to fight?"

The Foundation Establishment cultivator said, "It seems that, that they have captured one of our sect's True Persons, using this as a threat to force our sect to fight."

Zhang Yuanjing became even more confused. It was clear that they also had hostages. They could just exchange them. Why fight? However, he knew that asking this person would be a waste of time, so he soared into the air and rushed towards Three Truth Peak.

When enemies attack, they always like to start from above Three Truth Peak, in order to strike directly at the vital point. This time was no exception.

In front of the Jieyuan Hall, Tong Tianfu, holding a long halberd, was looking solemnly at the battle in the sky. Around him, Liu Yuanqing and more than a dozen Core Formation cultivators stood solemnly, their eyes full of worry.

The battle in the sky was between three people and a monkey. Two Nascent Soul cultivators were the invading enemies, and the ones fighting were Hu Tiancong and Ape Thirteen.

Zhang Yuanjing's movement as he flew over quickly attracted Tong Tianfu's attention. He saw who it was, and couldn't help but smile, his whole body suddenly feeling a bit more relaxed.

"Is that Senior Brother Yuanjing?" A message from the deacon of the Hall of Mysterious Governance came through Liu Yuanqing's sound transmission jade. His expression changed, and he asked in surprise and joy.

Tong Tianfu met the expectant gazes of the crowd and nodded solemnly, "That's right, it is Yuanjing returning to the mountain."

All the cultivators couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The battle in the sky was too intense, and the strength of the opponents made them see no hope.

The one fighting Hu Tiancong was a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator named Hong Zhiying. He had been in the Initial Stage for nearly two hundred years, with many methods, and he took the upper hand from the start, forcing Hu Tiancong to retreat steadily. He barely managed to hold on with a few thunder talismans.

The one fighting Ape Thirteen was a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator named Wei Ping, who was very powerful. Fortunately, Ape Thirteen's golden light was very strong, so he was able to fight evenly.

"Uncle Tong, why did you let Uncle Hu and Ape Thirteen go out of the array to fight?"

Zhang Yuanjing landed on the stone platform in front of the hall and hurriedly asked without greeting him.

Tong Tianfu's face, covered with wrinkles, was a little pale. He pondered for a moment and said, "This matter, the fault lies with this old Daoist!"

"What is it?" Zhang Yuanjing asked in surprise.

"Previously, Yuanjing, didn't you capture two Nascent Soul cultivators from Jixia Academy? A few days ago, the chief of the Deacon Hall led more than a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators to our door, proposing to exchange Yuan Daoyou for the two of them. This old Daoist was careless for a moment, thinking that the other party really wanted to exchange hostages first and then attack our sect, so I agreed. Unexpectedly, during the exchange, the chancellor of Jixia Academy actually attacked and snatched Jin Andao away, while the chief attacked this old Daoist. Fortunately, this old Daoist was carrying the Heavenly Thunder Halberd and made a timely move, repelling him. However, that Yun Song Daoren was killed by the power of thunder in the chaos. Thus, it was no longer possible to exchange hostages."

Tong Tianfu sighed softly, "This old Daoist also didn't expect that the other party would disregard the safety of the hostages and use such means, ultimately falling into a passive position. The chief stated clearly that we could each choose two people to fight a match. If our Xuantian Sect wins, they will release Yuan Daoyou. If we lose, then life and death are up to fate!"

Zhang Yuanjing was first surprised, and then understood Tong Tianfu's intention. The chief's plan was a blatant scheme, and True Person Tong understood his intentions. However, the exchange of hostages, which was supposed to be going well, was completely disrupted, and he could not exchange for Fire Crow Daoren. True Person Tong felt that he could not give him an explanation, so he tried it out.

"Does Uncle Hu have any divine power or spiritual treasures to protect him?" Zhang Yuanjing did not pursue the past, but pointed to the battle in the sky and said.

Tong Tianfu shook his head, "Junior Brother Hu once communicated with the Divine Firmament Sword, but was not recognized. However, he has a Lower Grade Five Thunder Heaven Opening Talisman, which is enough to save his life at a critical moment."

"In that case, the other party is waiting for me to show up?" Zhang Yuanjing pondered for a moment and suddenly asked.

Tong Tianfu nodded and said in a deep voice, "Most likely. Otherwise, why would they make it so complicated and just attack the gate directly." He paused slightly and said solemnly, "Yuanjing, although those two Divine Venerables have not appeared, they may have already bestowed methods. If you go out of the array, the consequences are unpredictable. Moreover, even if you take down these two, you may not be able to exchange for Yuan Daoyou, but instead make them even more valuable, using them to threaten you!"

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Uncle Tong, what the Heavenly Dao Sect and Jixia Academy are planning is nothing more than flying across the realm. If this matter is not accomplished, they will not harm Senior Fire Crow. As for this disciple, I still have to go out of the array, but not to compete with them, just to接应 Uncle Hu and Ape Thirteen back."

Guilt appeared on Tong Tianfu's face, and he said, "In the end, this old Daoist did not handle the exchange of hostages well, which led to Yuan Daoyou not being able to escape. In the future, alas!"

This old Daoist only said that if he missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to rescue Fire Crow Daoren again.

Zhang Yuanjing said, "Uncle Tong, there is no need to blame yourself. The fault is not with you. Since the other party took action to seize the hostages, they never intended to exchange them from the beginning. No matter how careful you are, you will not be able to exchange them. This disciple will go and return."

He flew up to the bottom of the array barrier, and then transmitted a message to Liu Yuanqing, asking him to open a gap in the great array.

Outside the great array, the battle between the three people and a monkey was very fierce.

Hu Tiancong and Ape Thirteen were both backed by the great array, with no worries about their rear.

Behind the two enemy cultivators, the chief and the chancellor of Jixia Academy were holding the line. These were two Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivators. Apart from Transformation Gods and a few Nascent Soul Great Perfection cultivators or Transformation Great Perfection demon beasts, they were already the top existences in this world.

They floated in the air two hundred feet away, their aura restrained as if they were nothing, but even so, they brought great pressure to Hu Tiancong and Yuan Thirteen.

"Chī chī chī chī ——"

With a series of sounds, a gap was opened in the rear array.

Gleams flashed in the eyes of Hong Zhiying and Wei Ping, and their magic power surged out like a tide, driving the spiritual treasures to launch a frantic attack on Hu Tiancong and Ape Thirteen, forcing one person and one ape to defend with all their might, unable to get away.

The chief and the chancellor trembled slightly, but did not move. Even though they had the strength of the Nascent Soul Late Stage, they would not be reckless enough to rush into the array without breaking the Mountain Protection Array.

A great sect like Xuantian Sect, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years and is extremely accomplished in the art of arrays, can protect itself from both external and internal threats with its Mountain Protection Array. With the two of them, it was not enough to deal with the Mountain Protection Array and three magical spiritual treasures at the same time.

After a breath, Zhang Yuanjing dashed out from the gap in the great array and directly attacked Wei Ping, who was stronger.

At this moment, the chief and the chancellor, who had been standing still, moved out like ghosts, one rushing towards Zhang Yuanjing, and the other going straight for the gap in the great array.
