Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable Chapter 221 220: The Hypocritical Xuan Tianzhan

"Who are you? How dare you trespass in Senior Brother Xuan's courtyard! Stop right there!"

Just as the strangely dressed woman in blood-red was about to enter the main hall, a True Disciple finally reacted and shouted.

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Xue Yi's eyes shot toward him.

That one glance made the True Disciple's heart skip a beat.

He felt as if he were being stared down by a ferocious Barbaric Beast.

"You dare glare at ?! Hmph, with that dead-looking face, you can't be up to any good. Did you break in to assassinate Senior Brother Xuan?"

The True Disciple was intimidated at first, but he quickly recovered, refusing to show weakness.

However, the mont he spoke, the gaze that was about to move away from him instantly beca tangible.

SWOOSH!

Two formless glints of sword light shot out like a pair of gazes.

They transford into twin dragons that scissored at his neck with a sickening CRACK!

And in an instant, the True Disciple, a Martial Grandmaster of the Seventh Layer, was decapitated.

He died on the spot.

Even in death, the True Disciple had no idea…

…how he had died.

This sudden turn of events instantly put everyone on edge.

The True Disciples, in particular, despite being terrified of Xue Yi's thods, showed considerable discipline and quickly ford a protective circle around Xuan Tianzhan.

But Xuan Tianzhan didn't cower. He pushed his followers aside, stepped forward, and looked at Xue Yi, asking seriously, "Who exactly are you? What are you doing here?"

"Xuan Tianxin sent ."

Her cold words seed to rise from the depths of Hell, carrying an endless chill.

But most of the people present were completely baffled.

Who was this Xuan Tianxin?

'Surna Xuan?'

'Could they be from the Sect Leader's lineage?'

They all looked toward Xuan Tianzhan.

Xuan Tianzhan's expression, however, turned utterly frigid.

It was filled with killing intent.

Others might not know who Xuan Tianxin was, but he certainly did. That was the Ancestor of the Xuan Family, and also the Ancestor of the Profound Celestial Sect. This woman dared to speak the Ancestor's na so directly.

'In that case, no matter who she is, she needs to be taught a lesson.'

But just as Xuan Tianzhan was about to make a move, a voice sounded in his ear. "Zhan'Er, this woman's na is Xue Yi. She is here to help you."

With that one short sentence, Xuan Tianzhan's expression changed in an instant.

His murderous look transford into one of refined grace.

He smiled at Xue Yi and said, "So it is Miss Xue. Please forgive what just happened. They were rash and disrespectful because they did not know your identity…"

"I don't mind."

Her reply was cold, utterly devoid of warmth.

This imdiately filled the surrounding True Disciples with resentnt.

'She's supposed to be on our side, but not only did she hide her identity, she even killed one of us.'

Of course they were unhappy.

But since Xuan Tianzhan had spoken…

…as his loyal followers, no matter how resentful or angry the True Disciples were, they could only swallow their feelings and remain silent.

"Well, thank you for that."

Xue Yi had killed one of his n and acted as if it were perfectly natural, which also irked Xuan Tianzhan.

But then he rembered that she had been sent by the Ancestor, and that her thods just now had been truly bizarre.

If it weren't for the Ancestor's backing, he wouldn't dare to confront Xue Yi so recklessly.

So for now, he would let it go.

He just gave an awkward smile.

But he had no outlet for the anger burning inside him.

Suddenly, he saw the young man in the courtyard glaring at him with a look of pure hatred.

An idea ca to him.

"Miss Xue, the Ancestor must have sent you because of your imnse strength. And your technique just now was extraordinary. Even I couldn't perceive it. Such divine skill is truly admirable…"

"If you have sothing to say, say it directly!"

Xue Yi cut him off.

Xuan Tianzhan's face stiffened, but he quickly continued, "I would like to witness your thods again, Miss Xue. What do you say?"

Xue Yi glanced at him.

She said faintly, "Fine."

"Excellent! Miss Xue is as straightforward as they say! In that case, I ask you to make a move. Your target is the man in the courtyard!"

Xuan Tianzhan laughed heartily, then pointed to the bound man in the courtyard.

He was in a great mood now.

He thought to himself, 'No matter how strange or arrogant you are, you're still just a thug the Ancestor sent for . Hmph, you really think I can't handle you.'

That's right. His goal this ti was to make Xue Yi understand…

…who was the master and who was the servant.

"Fine. Since I only promised Xuan Tianxin I would help you once, if you want to use that one chance on this man who is about to die anyway, I will do as you wish. But after this, my debt to your Xuan Family will be cleared. We will owe each other nothing!"

Xue Yi, however, simply nodded and said this very seriously.

The mont she finished speaking, Xuan Tianzhan's expression changed drastically. In a flash, he appeared in front of Xue Yi, waving his hands frantically.

"Miss Xue, you misunderstand! I… I didn't an that."

Xue Yi shot him a look.

"Then what did you an?"

"I… I just wanted to witness your skills, Miss Xue. Nothing more."

Xuan Tianzhan was rather embarrassed.

If he really let this woman leave just like that, he'd truly be shooting himself in the foot.

At the sa ti, his wariness of Xue Yi grew even stronger.

It wasn't just because of her thods.

It was also her attitude of addressing the Ancestor by his full na.

All of this made him realize sothing.

This woman was probably not the Ancestor's subordinate, as he had first assud.

Most likely, her relationship with the Ancestor was one of cooperation.

'Could she be… a friend of the Ancestor…?'

At this thought, Xuan Tianzhan no longer dared to put on airs.

He didn't dare to be careless.

"So, you were toying with ?"

But Xue Yi's next words made beads of sweat form on his forehead.

He hastily explained, "No, no, Miss Xue, you misunderstand. I—no, this junior was just being playful for a mont. Please, forgive , Miss Xue."

Seeing the high and mighty Xuan Tianzhan actually bowing to this woman as a junior would to a senior…

…the True Disciples in the hall were all stunned.

Even Yang Tian couldn't help but take a second look at the woman.

His eyes flickered as his mind raced, though it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered a difficult problem.

But just as quickly, his expression returned to one of indifference.

The man in the courtyard, however, burst into laughter. "Xuan Tianzhan, look at you, you groveling dog! So you're just a coward after all, scared of a woman like this. If it weren't for your family background, you'd probably be long dead."

"Zhang ngfei, death is at your doorstep, yet you're still running your mouth. Do you really want to die right now?"

Xuan Tianzhan's face darkened, and he could no longer be bothered to maintain his deanor as the Junior Sect Leader.

He stared at him coldly, his killing intent radiating outwards.

"Hmph! You, Xuan Tianzhan, slaughtered my entire family and annihilated my clan of a thousand people. Even in death, I, Zhang ngfei, will make you pay a price!"

Zhang ngfei showed no weakness.

His hatred was monstrous.

Just because he had said a single sentence about the Profound Celestial Sect's tyranny, this man had exterminated his entire family.

He had slaughtered all one thousand of his clansn.

Zhang ngfei wished for nothing more than to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

How could he possibly be threatened by such a hypocritical, fickle villain?
