Chapter 360: New Hatred Old Resentment
On the square of the Seeking-Tao Sect, among the ninety-nine disciples about to enter the Mirage, a group suddenly walked out.
They walked straight to Fang Yuxuan’s side, and a well-dressed young man, leading the group, smiled broadly and respectfully bowed to Fang Yuxuan.
"Senior Brother Fang, this time entering the Mirage, we will all look up to Senior Brother Fang, and we hope Senior Brother Fang can take care of us a bit when the time comes!"
Although they were all disciples selected by the sect and qualified to enter the Mirage, there was still a considerable gap in strength between them.
Therefore, these weaker disciples hope to find a powerful backer, which would at least give them a bit more hope of survival.
The cave immortal cultivators are all elders, they also dare not act recklessly, so Fang Yuxuan, as the number one inner disciple, naturally became their best choice.
At this moment, Fang Yuxuan looks nothing like the image he had in his master’s cave, but has returned to his elegant self in white clothes.
Upon hearing the words of the man in fancy clothes, he just smiled faintly and did not speak.
Although everyone could see the actions of this group, most of them did not react much, as it is human nature to seek protection from the strong.
However, there were also some people who showed displeasure.
Especially a burly man on the square, full of disdain, said, "Huo Yuan really has no shame!"
Beside the burly man, a beautiful young woman giggled and said, "Tang Yi, why don’t we also find a powerful supporter?"
"You, Lu Yourong, also want to find a protector?"
The big man rolled his eyes and said, "Two-Free Tao Physique, I heard your Taoist eyes have also reached a certain level. Just a Mirage won’t be able to trap you, right?"
"I think you should be my backer instead!"
The woman smiled again, then suddenly pointed not far ahead where a man in black clothes stood with his eyes closed tightly, looking isolated from the world. She said, "He is the one I meant by backer!"
"Unhurt?" The big man widened his eyes, shook his head repeatedly and said, "Forget it, he’s just a battle maniac. Being with him will only lead to a quicker death!"
At this point, the big man suddenly sighed and said, "But if there was someone here, we could really rely on him as a backer."
The woman blinked and said, "I heard he has returned and is also on the list. But it’s strange, why haven’t we seen him yet?"
Clearly, the woman knew who the other person was talking about.
"Hmph!" The big man snorted, glanced at Fang Yuxuan in the distance, lowered his voice and said, "Three months ago, someone saw him heading to Fence Tao Peak, and he never appeared again. I suspect…"
Before the big man could finish speaking, the young woman frowned and immediately interrupted, "Don’t say anymore."
The girl passed on a message, saying, "When we enter Mirage this time, if things go the way I think, we will have to obey Senior Brother Fang’s orders. So, you better keep quiet and not give him a reason to come after you later!"
The big man felt a bit resentful, but he knew the truth in what the other person said, so he just closed his mouth.
Seeing Fang Yuxuan’s noncommittal expression, the man in fancy clothes continued, "Of course, we won’t let Senior Brother Fang take care of us without giving something back."
"No matter what we gain inside Mirage, we will give one-third of it as a reward to Senior Brother Fang."
Hearing this, Fang Yuxuan smiled and said, "I remember, your name is Huo Yuan, right?"
Huo Yuan quickly nodded and said, "I didn’t expect Senior Brother Fang to know my name. Yes, I am Huo Yuan, I joined the sect over three years ago."
This man in fancy clothes was Huo Yuan, who entered the Seeking-Tao Sect with Jiang Yun, and always looked down on him.
Fang Yuxuan nodded and said, "Of course I remember. You new disciples were the last ones to join our sect, and a few of you left an impression on me."
"Especially you, you have good talent. You reached the Blessed Land Realm in such a short time, much stronger than me, your senior brother."
"Junior Huo, don’t worry. We are all from the same sect and should work together in Mirage, helping each other!"
As soon as Huo Yuan heard Fang Yuxuan’s answer, he understood that the other party agreed and joyfully said, "Then let’s thank Senior Brother Fang first."
After saying that, this group of people spontaneously gathered around Fang Yuxuan.
Like stars surrounding the moon, they encircled Fang Yuxuan in the middle.
In the sky, the eight colorful ripples became stronger and seemed to turn the sky into a sea, with the ninth colorful light about to appear.
But then, a long whistle suddenly came from afar!
This whistle was not only earth-shattering, but also carried a strong sense of killing intent, clearly entering the ears of everyone in the Seeking-Tao Sect at that moment.
Because the whistle sounded so suddenly, most people looked at each other in confusion, even some of the Peak Lords and elders.
However, only Fence Tao Peak’s Master Wei Zhengyang and Fang Yuxuan, who was surrounded by Huo Yuan and others, had a slight change in their expressions the moment they heard the whistle, and they both looked towards Fence Tao Peak.
Naturally, people noticed the gazes of the two of them, and quickly turned their eyes towards Fence Tao Peak.
They saw a blurry figure suddenly soar into the sky from Fence Tao Peak, heading towards the square at a very fast speed.
Because the square was too far from Fence Tao Peak, most people couldn’t see clearly who that figure was.
They could only guess in their minds that perhaps Wei Zhengyang had secretly taken in another exceptional disciple, who coincidentally broke through right before Mirage opened.
If that was the case, then this person’s appearance would make up the required one hundred people.
However, as the figure got closer and closer at an increasing speed, most people could finally see his appearance clearly.
Shouts of surprise began to erupt one after another.
"Jiang Yun!"
"That’s Jiang Yun!"
"It really is Jiang Yun!"
"He can fly, which means he has also entered the Blessed Land Realm!"
"But how did he come down from Fence Tao Peak?"
Amidst the discussion of the crowd, Jiang Yun’s figure finally appeared in the sky above the square.
After two years, Jiang Yun once again appeared before all the members of the Seeking-Tao Sect.
At this moment, Jiang Yun, with a face that had lost some of its youthfulness and gained some maturity, exuded a strong aura as he looked down from above.
However, his eyes did not look at anyone else, only coldly staring at Fang Yuxuan, who was elegant in white clothes and surrounded by the crowd.
"Fang Yuxuan, for past grievances, today, I will kill you!"
With Jiang Yun’s words sounding out, all those who had been talking immediately fell silent.
Each of them looked shocked and wondered if they had misheard what they heard.
Jiang Yun is planning to kill Fang Yuxuan!
Moreover, it is happening within the sect, in front of all the members of the Seeking-Tao Sect including the sect master, Peak Lord elders, and disciples, just before the Mirage is about to open!
Such words and actions are really arrogant and domineering!
