290: Internal strife within the Xuanmen sect!

Then, pulling over a soft stool, Chen Heng sat in front of them and asked.

"To... to Senior, my name is Zhao Die." The girl who had lost an arm thought for a moment and stepped forward.

"Actually, today was supposed to be a day of joyous gathering for the Thirty-Six Xuanmen."

"We always gather on this day every year, after all, today represents the rebirth of heaven and earth."

"But..."

Just as Zhao Die was about to continue, Chen Heng raised a hand to interrupt her.

"Thirty-Six Xuanmen?" Chen Heng turned to look at Bai Jun, asking with some confusion.

"There are thirty-five other Schools like True Immortal Sect?"

"You never told me about this, kid."

"Junior Brother Bai, Senior, this is..." Zhao Die and the others also looked at Bai Jun with some confusion.

Such a powerful existence actually didn't know about the Thirty-Six Xuanmen?

"Ah, Big Brother Chen should be considered... a martial artist?" Bai Jun scratched his head. He really hadn't told Chen Heng about these things.

"A martial artist!?" Zhao Die and the others couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this.

They had originally thought that Chen Heng was a Senior who had cultivated to the point of returning to simplicity, so they couldn't sense any Spiritual Qi on him.

He was actually a martial artist?

Martial artists... when did they become so powerful?

"What, is that not allowed?" Chen Heng raised an eyebrow, looking at Zhao Die, whose mouth was slightly agape.

"No, no, how could this little girl dare." Zhao Die waved her remaining hand, cleared her throat, and continued.

"Originally, our Thirty-Six Xuanmen were scattered across the world, but a few years ago, Danqing Valley suddenly issued a summons."

"The Sect Leader of Danqing Valley invited all the Xuanmen under heaven to gather and share the Way of Reaching Heaven that he had discovered."

"At that time, the Seal in the True Immortal Sect's back mountain was opened, and everyone was worried about where to move, so they simply moved along..."

Zhao Die paused here, looking up at Chen Heng's expression.

"Continue." Chen Heng waved his hand, signaling Zhao Die to go on.

"Our True Immortal Sect actually has its own path of cultivation, so we didn't try the Way of Reaching Heaven discovered by Danqing Valley."

"But we still participate in the Xuanmen Grand Assembly held every New Years Day, but this year..."

Zhao Die gritted her teeth, her eyes slightly red.

"Except for our True Immortal Sect, people from all other Xuanmen have learned the Way of Reaching Heaven from Danqing Valley."

"And they all look very strange, each one as if possessed by something."

"We originally didn't take it seriously, after all, we've seen all sorts of strange Cultivation Techniques."

"But at this Xuanmen Grand Assembly, the Sect Leader of Danqing Valley seemed to have changed into a different person, saying that our True Immortal Sect's Cultivation Technique was an evil Dao."

"Everyone else also echoed him like madmen, and then those Thirty-Five Profound Sects wanted to unite and destroy our True Immortal Sect."

"They even said that if we didn't learn the Way of Reaching Heaven, we were a bunch of... insects."

"Huh?" Bai Jun was dumbfounded. How could this sound so ridiculous?

"I remember the Sect Leader of Danqing Valley was a pretty good old man. How could he have become like this?"

"We don't know either, but Master said that old man only became like this after learning the so-called Way of Reaching Heaven."

"So the problem lies with that Way of Reaching Heaven."

"And then, how did you end up being chased to my place?" Chen Heng scratched his head. These people had been talking for a long time without getting to the point.

"The True Immortal Sect was scattered by the combined forces of the Thirty-Five Profound Sects. Every Master led some Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers to flee in all directions."

"Only the Sect Leader remained alone to fight the Thirty-Five Profound Sects."

Zhao Die felt a chill down her spine just thinking about the scene at that time, and she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly.

"Then the Sect Leader..." Bai Jun's heart sank. No matter how powerful the Sect Leader was, she couldn't be a match for the combined forces of the Thirty-Five Profound Sects.

Even if their True Immortal Sect's lightning Dao could allow one to fight a hundred, the Sect Leader's opponents were not to be trifled with.

"This is... the Sect Leader's life jade." Zhao Die gritted her teeth and pulled out a handful of shattered life jade from her bosom.

"Completely dead..." Bai Jun's eyes dimmed, and he slumped to the ground in despair.

"Oh, right, where's Master?"

Suddenly, Bai Jun seemed to remember something and quickly looked up to ask.

"Master should be unharmed, but we don't know where she is."

Zhao Die tried to take out Qiu Yongling's life jade, but as soon as her hand went into her bosom, her expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Bai Jun stared intently at Zhao Die, his gaze as if he wanted to devour her alive.

"The... the life jade is cracked?" Zhao Die's hand trembled as she pulled out Qiu Yongling's life jade, which already had several tiny cracks on it.

"What, did that woman get into trouble?" Chen Heng took the life jade from Zhao Die's hand and looked up to ask.

"No, Master should not be in mortal danger right now, but the situation is definitely very dangerous!"

Zhao Die was trembling all over like a vibrating rod, tears streaming down her face.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Chen Heng turned to look at Bai Jun, placing the life jade in his hand.

"Big Brother Chen, thank you for taking care of me all this time."

Bai Jun took the life jade and put it away, then stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Heng.

"?" Chen Heng waited with a face full of question marks for the kid's next words.

"This matter... I must resolve it myself. Even if it costs me my life, I must save Master."

"Moreover, this is a matter of the Thirty-Six Xuanmen, and I cannot trouble Big Brother Chen anymore."

"Sigh..." Chen Heng sighed and grabbed Bai Jun's head.

"Do you think you've grown strong enough, kid?"

"Trouble me? Do you think the Thirty-Six Xuanmen, including your True Immortal Sect, are enough for me to fight alone?"

"And you want to solve this matter yourself? With your weak state, wouldn't you just be going to your death?"

"that woman Qiu Yongling will definitely not die. You all wait for me for a day. I'll go make some preparations."

"Then I'll go with you to the Thirty-Six Xuanmen. I want to see how awesome they are, calling others insects..."

After letting go of Bai Jun, who was grimacing in pain, Chen Heng suddenly remembered an important matter.

"Where are the Thirty-Six Xuanmen?"

"To Senior, the True Immortal Sect is currently in Immortal Mountain of Chengtian Empire, but the Xuanmen gathering is in Danqing Valley near the Western Demon Alliance."

"Alright, you kid wait for me at home for a day. I'll go prepare some things."

"Big Brother Chen..." Bai Jun looked up at the tall figure in front of him, not knowing what to say.

He owed Chen Heng too much; he could never repay it all.

That's why Bai Jun wanted to show off this time, not wanting to owe Chen Heng any more favors.

"Oh, and if you dare to go alone, don't blame me for making you taste the 'Big Heart-Stabbing Kick'."

Chen Heng had just taken one step when he turned to look at Bai Jun.

"Luo Shuo! Keep an eye on this kid for me, don't let him run off alone."

Chen Heng shouted into the house, and Luo Shuo immediately darted out from a corner.

"Hmph! You kid, trying to run?" Luo Shuo, reeking of alcohol, used a small grappling technique to pin Bai Jun to the ground.

"..." Chen Heng.

"How much did you drink, kid? Let him go quickly."

Chen Heng slapped Luo Shuo on the back of the head and pulled Bai Jun out from under him.

"Don't worry, Bai Jun."

Chen Heng patted Bai Jun's shoulder, his gaze shifting from amusement to extreme seriousness.

"From the day you called me Big Brother Chen, you and I became brothers."

"When a brother is in trouble, what kind of debt is it for me, the elder brother, to help you out?"

"Wait for me at home. We'll set off after I return."

"Big Brother Chen..." Hearing this, Bai Jun's eyes welled up.

There was nothing he could do; Bai Jun's emotions were already very... rich?
