47: Chapter 47 The Remnant Immortal Makes His Move

In an instant, his entire aura drastically changed.

Sikong Jian, who was standing nearby, immediately noticed this anomaly, and a feeling of his hair standing on end washed over him.

"What is going on!"

He instinctively put some distance between himself and Cao Xun, sizing up the other party with vigilance.

At this moment, Cao Xun's appearance had not changed much from before, but he felt an inexplicable pressure.

Furthermore, this pressure was even greater than when he first saw the Old Ancestor back then.

"What on earth is going on?"

His expression was solemn, treating the situation as if facing a formidable enemy.

At the same time, he secretly used voice transmission to contact the many Elders of the Sect to come here.

At this moment, Cao Xun was standing in mid-air, loosening his muscles and bones.

"Revered Master, let's run away quickly!"

Within his Sea of Consciousness, the voice of 'Cao Xun' came through.

"Escape? Within this Qingxuan Sect, the strongest person is merely at the Nascent Soul, not worthy of this Revered Master escaping!"

He, Zhuang Wen, was a True Immortal of the Immortal Realm. Although he only had a remnant soul left now, it was definitely not something that a mere Nascent Soul of the Lower Realm could provoke.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Cao Xun asked in confusion.

Zhuang Wen did not speak, simply letting his gaze fall upon Sikong Jian in the distance.

In an instant, Sikong Jian felt a violent pain surge into his Sea of Consciousness, as if countless steel needles were stirring in his mind.

"Ah!"

The intense pain caused him to let out a miserable scream.

And this also made him understand that the Cao Xun before him was definitely not the original person.

"Who on earth are you!"

Enduring the severe pain, he looked at 'Cao Xun' and questioned.

Zhuang Wen was somewhat surprised.

"Oh?"

"I didn't expect that you, merely at the Core Formation Realm, would have such a firm Dao Heart. Truly not bad."

"Unfortunately, in front of this Immortal, you are nothing more than an ant!"

This Immortal!

He was an Immortal!

Cao Xun had been possessed by an Immortal?

Sikong Jian's pupils shrank violently in an instant, finding it hard to believe.

But the current situation indeed forced him to believe it.

After all, with just a glance, the other party could render him completely powerless to resist.

With such strength, the other party probably disdained to deceive him.

In other words, the person before him was a True Immortal!

A True Immortal!

Let alone him, even Old Ancestor Xing Zhan, or even the Grand Elder of Taixuan Holy Land coming here, would probably have to suffer defeat.

Thinking of this, despair arose in his heart.

But soon he noticed something was wrong. Since the other party was an Immortal, why did he need to borrow Cao Xun's Physical Body?

Then there was only one possibility—the other party was merely a remnant Immortal!

But even if he was a remnant Immortal, so what? With just a single look, the other party had made him defeated.

With such strength, his Qingxuan Sect still could not contend against him!

"Senior, is Cao Xun your Disciple?"

Sikong Jian suddenly asked.

"Not bad, you are indeed somewhat clever."

Zhuang Wen nodded.

"That being the case, Senior stepping forward means you want to protect Cao Xun?"

Sikong Jian continued.

"Since that is the case, then please, Senior, take him and leave directly. This Junior will definitely not stop you."

Although letting Cao Xun go would make Elder Zhou Mu furious, given the current situation, they could no longer care about that much.

Furthermore, as long as he informed Elder Zhou Mu of the true situation here, he figured she would also understand.

After all, based on his understanding of his Junior Sister, although she favored her own people, she was also reasonable.

"Stop me?"

Zhuang Wen sneered.

"Do you even deserve to?"

His gaze fell upon Sikong Jian, as if he were looking at an ant.

Then he continued speaking.

"Let alone you, even if everyone in your Qingxuan Sect added together, they couldn't block a single finger of this Immortal."

Sikong Jian's expression was ugly.

At the same time, he also had doubts in his heart. Since the other party's strength was so strong, why didn't he make a move to kill him yet?

However, no sooner had this thought crossed his mind than the other party had already made a move.

He saw 'Cao Xun' gently wave his hand, and a streak of Sword Qi lunged toward him.

The power of that Sword Qi was not considered very large, but if it landed on him, it would be enough to take his little life.

He gritted his teeth, wanting to dodge, but he simply couldn't move at all.

At this moment, he had already felt despair.

Just when he thought he was about to perish under this Sword Qi, a lotus phantom suddenly appeared around his body, protecting him within it.

Sikong Jian was dazed for a moment.

Then he was instantly ecstatic.

"It's the Old Ancestor!"

This lotus barrier was a Magic Treasure of Xing Zhan's.

As the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, he could naturally recognize it at a glance.

"Who on earth are you, daring to sneak into our Sect and make a move against our Sect Master!"

Xing Zhan teleported over, arriving beside Sikong Jian, while his gaze fell upon Cao Xun.

Not long ago, after he and Cao Yuanbai rescued Bai Yunzhou at Yunmeng Mountain, they returned to the Sect together.

He hadn't expected that as soon as they arrived outside the Sect, they would sense a terrifying aura soaring into the sky.

Immediately, without thinking too much, he took the lead and rushed over, just in time to see a younger generation member of the Cao family making a move against Sect Master Sikong Jian.

You must know that although Sikong Jian was not the strongest person in the Sect, he was still the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, with extraordinary strength. It was absolutely impossible for him to be crushed by a younger generation member of the Cao family.

Furthermore, the aura all over this Cao family Junior's body was extremely abnormal.

Zhuang Wen glanced at the lotus phantom protecting Sikong Jian, his brows slightly raising, and the Spiritual Qi condensed at his fingertips quietly dissipated.

He looked up and down at Xing Zhan, feeling the other party's Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation base, and a sneering arc hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Nascent Soul Cultivator? He is indeed a bit stronger than this ant, but unfortunately, he still cannot catch this Immortal's eye."

If Cao Xun's Physical Body hadn't been too frail, he wouldn't have deliberately controlled his strength just now, giving Xing Zhan the chance to save the other party.

This Immortal?

Hearing this self-appellation, Xing Zhan then frowned, sizing up the other party even more carefully.

He immediately discovered that although the other party's aura was terrifying, his entire body possessed quite a bit of Death Qi.

Obviously, there was a remnant soul existing inside the body of the Cao family Disciple before him.

And a mere remnant soul possessed such strength; if the other party were at his peak condition, his strength would definitely be terrifying to the extreme.

It really was possible that he was a True Immortal!

If that were truly the case, then with his cultivation base, he was probably somewhat inadequate.

And at this moment, Yuan Xi and the others, along with many powerhouses of the Qingxuan Sect, had already appeared here, surrounding 'Cao Xun'.

"Revered Master, so many people, can you handle them?"

Cao Xun asked.

"Mere ants, no matter how many there are, are still just ants."

Zhuang Wen sneered.

After speaking, he was about to make a move to slaughter all the Cultivators in front of him, and then devour everyone's Divine Souls to use for his own restoration.

However, at this moment, he suddenly noticed a young man in the crowd.

"This youth's Physical Body is truly not bad. If I can refine him, this Immortal might be able to use this to recultivate and ascend to the Immortal Realm!"

Following his Revered Master's gaze, Cao Xun immediately gnashed his teeth in anger.

"Revered Master, he is Bai Yunzhou. If it weren't for him, how could this Disciple have been reduced to this state!"

Hearing these words, Zhuang Wen smiled and said.

"Since that is the case, wouldn't this Immortal taking him down just happen to vent this foul breath for you?"
