Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 112 Enemies meet on a narrow road
The next morning, after Zhang Xiaofan and the others finished packing, they left the manor and headed towards Changhe City. You Ji did not accompany them, but went straight to Liubo Mountain in the East Sea.

When Zhang Xiaofan and the others arrived at an inn in Changhe City, only Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua were waiting inside, holding Lu Xueqi's Tianya Sword.

After the group reunited, they set off for Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea.

Legend has it that Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, seven thousand miles into the sea, is the easternmost place in the world, located deep in the vast ocean.

This place is remote and rarely visited. The reason why the righteous path has gathered here is that not long ago, when Zhang Xiaofan and others went down the mountain to explore Kongsang Mountain, news came from Fenxiang Valley that a large number of demonic sect members had gathered here.

Previously, the Demonic Sect had already launched a powerful attack, wiping out more than a dozen small cultivation sects, showing signs of a comeback and resurgence, which greatly angered the righteous sects.

Therefore, upon receiving the news from Fenxiang Valley, Qingyun Sect immediately dispatched three chief disciples to lead the elite disciples of Qingyun Sect straight to Liubo Mountain in the East Sea.

Tianyin Temple has always been closely allied with Qingyun Sect, and immediately dispatched several elders and elite disciples from the temple to go together.

Before this, Zhang Xiaofan would have guessed that this was a message deliberately released by Burning Incense Valley to divert attention.

However, Yan Hong's previous identity gave Zhang Xiaofan some new ideas. Perhaps this matter was brought up by Yan Hong, which could not only meet the needs of Fenxiang Valley, but also cause some trouble for Guiwang Sect from the perspective of Hehuan Sect.

After all, the Ghost King Sect's massive gathering at Liubo Mountain, along with its call for other members of the Demonic Sect to join them, clearly indicated that they had ulterior motives.

Perhaps, the Hehuan Sect is even secretly eyeing the Xuanhuo Mirror.

Currently, although neither the righteous nor the demonic paths have mobilized their entire forces, neither has had time to attend to matters concerning the Central Plains. The Hehuan Sect could easily coordinate an attack from within and without, and seize the Xuanhuo Mirror from Fenxiang Valley along the way.

However, this idea seems to have fallen through now that Zhang Xiaofan has taken the Xuanhuo Mirror first.

That evening, Zhang Xiaofan and his group of five had been flying at sea for more than six days and were resting on a sizable island.

Suddenly, a series of sharp, piercing sounds of wind breaking came from the sky above the island, where only the tides and the sea breeze could be heard, immediately attracting the attention of Zhang Xiaofan and the others.

Zhang Xiaofan, Lu Xueqi, and the others looked up and saw three streaks of light—red, yellow, and white—speeding rapidly across the dim sea, with eight more streaks of light chasing closely behind them.

The burly man at the head of the group, enveloped in crimson light, rapidly approached the three men in front of him. His enormous and ferocious right eye shot out several beams of crimson light, attacking the three men from behind.

The three people in front noticed the red light behind them, and their expressions changed. The honest-looking man with the earthy yellow light immediately stopped, preparing to forcibly take the three beams of red light.

Below, Zhang Xiaofan's eyes narrowed, and he took a sudden step, instantly transforming into a dark red divine sword.

The dark red divine sword did not fly directly into the sky; instead, it flickered eerily in the air, appearing in a completely new location with each flicker.

"Shh!"

A flash of dark red sword light appeared, and the divine sword stood between the two sides. The next moment, Zhang Xiaofan's figure reappeared as the divine sword disappeared.

But Zhang Xiaofan didn't draw his divine sword. He simply stretched out his hand, and instantly, countless sword energies gathered in front of him. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, the several red lights disappeared completely.

"Xiaofan!"

The three people who were originally running away were startled when they saw Zhang Xiaofan appear. After they realized what was happening, they were overjoyed. The woman standing on the red ribbon exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Xiaofan did not turn around, but stared coldly at the group of enemies in front of him.

However, this group of people were indeed from the Blood Refining Hall. Leading them was Elder Nian, followed by Liu Hao and Wild Dog Daoist. There was also a very young, handsome man with a righteous appearance, and the other four were likely ordinary disciples. "Hiss! Elder Nian, it's...it's that killer! He...he's not dead!"

Upon seeing Zhang Xiaofan, Wild Dog Taoist's expression instantly changed, and he began to stammer as he stood on the fanged magic weapon, trembling all over.

Not only Wild Dog Taoist, but also Liu Hao, were nervously swallowing their saliva.

Back then, there were so many of them, and this murderer alone defeated them all. Not only did his wife and Lin Feng die at his hands, but many more of the other disciples also perished.

Even without Wild Dog Taoist speaking, Elder Nian's heart was already pounding when he saw Zhang Xiaofan. He wanted to run away, but Lu Xueqi, who had followed him, blocked his way with the Tianya Sword in her hand.

"Wild Dog, Liu Hao, Little Zhou, disperse in a moment. Whoever survives will be the next leader of my Blood Refining Hall!"

The eldest son's gaze lingered on Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua for a moment, then he sighed softly and said with a deathly pale face.

Zhang Xiaofan's ears twitched, and his gaze immediately fell on the young man. His pupils narrowed slightly, and he gave a soft hum before speaking.

"Now that I've taken the treasure from the Dripping Blood Cave, I owe your Blood Refining Hall ancestors a favor. Get lost!"

"what?"

The eldest brother and the others were stunned upon hearing this, and the Wild Dog Taoist even exclaimed in surprise. After they realized what was happening, they were overjoyed.

Biyao frowned but remained silent. Lu Xueqi, though somewhat puzzled, trusted Zhang Xiaofan almost unconditionally and wouldn't say anything more. As for Lu Wuyai and Lu Zhihua, they were naturally beyond question.

Tian Ling'er, who caught up with the Imperial Envoy Amber and Vermilion Silk, seemed somewhat unwilling, but she only glared fiercely at the group of people.

When the eldest brother and the others saw that Lu Xueqi and the others had made way for them, they quickly used their magic weapons to leave, but Zhang Xiaofan suddenly called out.

"slow!"

"Gudong!"

Liu Hao and the others swallowed hard, stiffly turning their heads to look. Wild Dog Taoist was even more pathetic, his whole body trembling.

Only the eldest and the youngest remained calm. The eldest then spoke.

"What are your orders, young hero?"

"From this day forward, the Blood Refining Hall is forbidden from setting foot on Mount Kongsang!"

The eldest brother hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but still nodded in agreement. Then Zhang Xiaofan spoke again in a cold voice.

"Furthermore, if I ever find out any of you who dare to commit heinous acts, slaughter innocent people, or bring disaster to the common people, I will hunt them down to the ends of the earth!"

"No, no, we will certainly keep that in mind!"

The eldest brother and the others quickly responded, while Xiao Zhou beside him gave Zhang Xiaofan a deep look. Only after Zhang Xiaofan waved his hand did the group leave together.
