130: Yue Zhen's sneak attack

After returning from the Main Peak, Ji Wuchang sat cross-legged in his room. Recalling the events that just transpired, a sense of crisis arose in his heart for some unknown reason!

He didn't know where this sense of crisis originated, but he felt restless, as if something bad was about to happen!

After thinking for a long time without finding any clue, he decided to put it aside for now.

Ji Wuchang took out the Four-Grade Spirit Nurturing Pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it!

He had just asked Ji Yaoyao to examine this Medicinal Pill, and since there were no issues, he dared to swallow it with confidence!

The Spirit Nurturing Pill was different from other Medicinal Pills; he didn't need to spend time refining it.

The spiritual energy of the Spirit Nurturing Pill automatically permeated his body; it was a subtle, invisible improvement!

After swallowing the Spirit Nurturing Pill, Ji Wuchang began asking Yaoyao about the Sword Alliance.

"The Sword Alliance does not originate from Tianjian State. It is not a Sect, but an organization formed by people who enjoy studying the Dao of the Sword!"

"The people in this organization love recruiting and cultivating young Generation Sword Dao Genius."

"If you can pass their test, the forces behind them will open their doors!"

"You must be careful of this organization. Try not to offend them, or you might encounter a lot of trouble!"

"Of course, if you truly offend them, don't let them leave. You must kill them completely and show no soft-heartedness!"

Ji Yaoyao's words entered Ji Wuchang's ears, making him instantly understand the situation.

Just then, a figure rapidly approached, causing Ji Wuchang to frown slightly!

Jiang He, what is he doing here?

Jiang He is Jiang Bin's younger brother and also Sixth Elder Yue Zhen's Disciple!

"Senior Brother Ji, are you in? I have been ordered by Revered Master to invite Senior Brother Ji to the Law Enforcement Hall!"

Jiang He's voice sounded from outside.

Ji Wuchang opened the door, his brows slightly furrowed, and then he asked, "Junior Brother Jiang He, did Sixth Elder mention what the matter is?"

Ji Wuchang was genuinely confused, wondering why Sixth Elder was looking for him.

Jiang He cupped his fists and said, "Senior Brother Ji, Revered Master explained that because you helped the Sect find three traitors, the Law Enforcement Hall is still interrogating others!"

"Revered Master wants Senior Brother Ji to go over; perhaps you can provide some assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuchang frowned again. He felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite pinpoint it.

However, this request seemed perfectly reasonable.

Ji Wuchang pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.

Ji Wuchang followed Jiang He and headed straight for the Law Enforcement Hall!

Ji Wuchang was very familiar with the Law Enforcement Hall!

In his previous life, he had come here several times due to conflicts with Xiao Fan, and naturally, he was punished every time!

He absolutely loathed this place. To be honest, he had never even done a Check-in here, simply because he disliked it!

"Ah!"

Screams of agony came from the room; these were the cries of criminals being punished!

Jiang He was unfazed by this; they heard such sounds almost constantly!

Soon, they arrived at a doorway, where Sixth Elder Yue Zhen stood with a calm expression.

For some reason, the moment he saw Sixth Elder Yue Zhen's face, Ji Wuchang's heart filled with vigilance!

"Greetings, Sixth Elder!"

Ji Wuchang bowed to Yue Zhen, his demeanor neither servile nor arrogant.

"Wuchang is here, please come in!"

Yue Zhen was very welcoming, speaking with a smile, and led Ji Wuchang into the execution hall.

Ji Wuchang saw three people hanging from iron chains, covered in blood, clearly having just suffered physical torture!

When the three men saw someone enter, they raised their heads, and upon seeing Ji Wuchang, their eyes revealed looks of hatred!

Ji Wuchang frowned as he looked at their faces. How could he not recognize these three?

Li Hua'an, Zuo Shan, and Bai Xiuye, the head Disciples of three Outer Elders, all had cultivation levels around the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"Ji Wuchang, you will die a terrible death! We won't let you off even if we turn into ghosts!"

A man roared at Ji Wuchang, and as his body swayed, the iron chains clanged loudly!

Ji Wuchang frowned slightly. He felt that something was wrong, because he suddenly couldn't hear the sounds from outside.

Just then, Ji Wuchang felt his hair stand on end. Without time to think, the sound of wind and thunder erupted beneath his feet, and his body leaped toward the left like lightning!

With a "bang," Ji Wuchang felt an intense pain in his back, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out of his mouth.

With a soft thud, Ji Wuchang slammed heavily onto the ground.

Ji Wuchang was slightly stunned, but he had no time to think. The sound of wind and thunder emanated from his feet, and his body flew diagonally outwards.

With a loud "boom," a deep pit was instantly smashed into the spot where he had just fallen.

If he had been a moment slower just now, he might already be a corpse!

Ji Wuchang spat out another mouthful of blood, feeling as though his back was broken.

His eyes were fixed intently on Yue Zhen. He hadn't expected this Sixth Elder to suddenly attack him, and with a killing blow at that.

"Why?"

Ji Wuchang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand and asked coldly.

Yue Zhen frowned, but since the Barrier here had already been activated, he wasn't worried about Ji Wuchang escaping!

Yue Zhen looked at Ji Wuchang, the killing intent in his eyes practically tangible.

"Ji Wuchang, why did you kill Xiao Fan?"

After speaking, Yue Zhen roared directly, a ferocious expression appearing on his face, his eyes filled with venomous hatred.

The three men bound by iron chains were also watching the scene before them in shock, wondering what drama was unfolding.

Ji Wuchang was momentarily stunned. He had originally thought Yue Zhen was a mole placed by the Green Sparrow Sect inside the Changsheng Sect, but it turned out he was wrong.

"How did you know I killed Xiao Fan?"

Ji Wuchang's gaze was calm as water. The opponent had already lost the chance to kill him, and the initiative was now in his hands. He didn't mind letting Yue Zhen live a little longer!

Memories of his previous life surfaced in Ji Wuchang's mind. He had always wondered why Yue Zhen constantly favored Xiao Fan, originally thinking it was due to Xiao Fan's good root bone.

Now it seemed he had thought too simply; a secret he didn't know was hidden within this matter!

Hearing Ji Wuchang's words, Yue Zhen's expression grew even colder, and the killing intent in his eyes intensified.

"Fine, Ji Wuchang, today I will let you die knowing why!"

"My surname is Xiao, and my original name is Xiao Zhen. I come from the Xiao Family of Muye City! Xiao Fan is considered my fifth-generation descendant!"

"I left a unique mark on Xiao Fan's body. Whoever killed him, this mark would automatically appear on that person!"

"The moment I first looked at you, I confirmed that you were the one who killed Xiao Fan, so today, you are doomed to die!"

Yue Zhen stared venomously at Ji Wuchang, the killing intent in his eyes practically tangible!

Ji Wuchang instantly realized the truth!

Everything he couldn't figure out in his previous life now made sense! All the doubts in his heart were resolved!

Infinite killing intent appeared in his eyes.

This killing intent was for the current Ji Wuchang, and also for the Ji Wuchang of the previous life!
