"Xuan Sect disciples?"
Seeing the attire of Li Xuan, Shi Hongyi, and Xi Chuyun, Zu Xiaoyao frowned and murmured to himself.
To encounter Xuan Sect disciples in the depths of this Xuan Feng Forbidden Zone. Zu Xiaoyao clearly remembered that Xuan Yi Xian and others were still behind him. When did these three enter the Xuan Feng Forbidden Zone?
"Be careful, this person is a Saint Sect expert! Judging by his aura, he should be a peak Dao One realm expert!" Seeing Zu Xiaoyao's sudden appearance, a hint of solemnity appeared in Li Xuan's eyes. He quickly conveyed to Shi Hongyi and Xi Chuyun.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
As Zu Xiaoyao appeared, Wang Wenchun and others also emerged from the void. Upon seeing the three of Li Xuan, Wu Pengfei and the others showed surprise in their eyes.
"Elder Zu, the aura on that man seems very similar to that of Xuan Sect's Li Xuan. However, looking at his face, they are quite different," Wu Pengfei sensed faintly, and the confusion in his eyes deepened. After a moment of thought, he voiced his idea to Zu Xiaoyao.
Zu Xiaoyao was stunned upon hearing this: "Li Xuan? The Li Xuan who killed my grandson?"
After speaking, Zu Xiaoyao's gaze locked onto Li Xuan below. Anger was clearly rising in his eyes. If it was indeed related to Li Xuan, he would not let it go.
Moreover, these three Xuan Sect disciples had arrived earlier than their Saint Sect team, and there was nothing else present. These three must have obtained the treasures of this place.
"Since it's related to that Li Xuan, we cannot let them go!" Zu Xiaoyao made up his mind, waved his large hand, and a giant hand formed by spiritual energy instantly lunged towards where Li Xuan and the other two were.
"Retreat!" Seeing Zu Xiaoyao attack, Li Xuan quickly shouted to Shi Hongyi and Xi Chuyun. With a movement of his hands, a barrier instantly appeared around the three.
"Zu Xiaoyao, your Saint Sect's methods are truly not clean! Attacking Xuan Sect disciples right in front of us, do you take us for decoration?" Just as the giant spiritual energy hand was about to fall on the barrier, Wen Yuanbai's voice suddenly rang out.
A spiritual light quickly blasted towards the giant spiritual energy hand, causing it to shake and dissipate.
Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. If Wen Yuanbai had not arrived in time, his barrier might not have been able to withstand Zu Xiaoyao's attack.
After breaking through to the intermediate Dao Integration realm, Li Xuan understood the gap between each level even more clearly. Even two early Dao Integration realm existences might not be able to defeat one intermediate Dao Integration realm expert. The difference was immense.
"Zu Xiaoyao, you rushed here so eagerly just to attack our Xuan Sect disciples? It seems the three years in You Meng Pavilion did not teach you a lesson."
As sounds of breaking air echoed, Xuan Yi Xian and others also emerged from the void. Xuan Yi Xian glanced at Shi Hongyi and Xi Chuyun, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he first looked at Zu Xiaoyao and said.
Although the man below looked different from Li Xuan, his attire clearly indicated he was a Xuan Sect disciple.
"I merely wanted to inquire about this place. If I had truly attacked, would these three have had a chance to wait for you? Xuan Yi Xian, shouldn't you explain to everyone why your Xuan Sect disciples are in this Xuan Feng Forbidden Zone?"
"Could it be that your Xuan Sect had planned this all along, deliberately delaying everyone from entering the Xuan Feng Forbidden Zone to give your Xuan Sect time to collect the treasures within?"
Seeing Xuan Yi Xian and the others appear, a shadow flashed in Zu Xiaoyao's eyes. However, it quickly recovered, and he looked directly at Xuan Yi Xian, saying.
"That's right, their attire is indeed that of Xuan Sect disciples. Could it be that Xuan Sect found a way to enter the barrier from the beginning?"
"In my opinion, it must be someone from Xuan Sect who found a way to enter this barrier. And they probably took the treasures inside long ago. That's why the barrier suddenly disappeared. And as they were preparing to retreat, they were intercepted by the Saint Sect."
"This brother's analysis is indeed reasonable. It seems that's how it must have been!"
"..."
The various factions heard this and began to discuss.
The gazes directed at Li Xuan and the other two were now filled with ferocity.
Although treasures go to the most capable, they had guarded for so many days only to have something done under their noses. If they hadn't arrived in time, they might not have known anything. Now that the truth was out, they could not let the three leave.
"This matter, I am completely unaware of. If I had known the method to enter the Xuan Feng Forbidden Zone barrier earlier, why would I have waited until now? Zu Xiaoyao, you will not smear dirt on our Xuan Sect!" Xuan Yi Xian snorted coldly.
Then, Xuan Yi Xian's gaze swept over the crowd and fell on Li Xuan and the other two, saying, "Shi Hongyi, Xi Chuyun, why are you two here? Where is Li Xuan, and who is this person?"
Shi Hongyi and Xi Chuyun exchanged a troubled look, then both looked at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled bitterly. With his appearance greatly changed, it was understandable that Xuan Yi Xian and the others did not recognize him. Li Xuan then stepped forward and said, "Disciple Li Xuan, greetings to the Sect Master and the three Peak Masters."
"Li Xuan? He is Li Xuan?" Upon hearing Li Xuan's words, Zu Xiaoyao immediately looked at Wu Pengfei beside him. The anger in his eyes was extremely dazzling.
"What's going on? Elder Zu, this person is completely different from the Li Xuan we saw before. That Li Xuan's appearance was not like this at all!" Wu Pengfei was also bewildered. Feeling the killing intent in Zu Xiaoyao's eyes, his body trembled involuntarily.
Not only Wu Pengfei and Xia Ruman, but even Xuan Yi Xian was looking at Leng Feihong and Gong Zimo beside him with confusion.
In their impression, Li Xuan did not look like this.
"His aura is indeed the same as Li Xuan's, but could an illusion or some other trick fool our eyes? Yet he even sounds like Li Xuan. Could he really be Li Xuan?"
Gong Zimo murmured in a low voice. There was still a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Disciple is indeed Li Xuan. There are some reasons for this, and I ask the Sect Master and the Peak Masters to allow me to explain in detail later." Li Xuan understood that Xuan Yi Xian and the others were also doubting his identity, so he bowed again and said.
Li Xuan was somewhat helpless. This time, he had been severely injured by the rules of order, and his body had been remodeled. Not only had his height changed, but his appearance was also much more handsome than before. It was understandable that Xuan Yi Xian and the others did not recognize him.
Xuan Yi Xian, upon hearing this, already believed the man before him was Li Xuan with seventy to eighty percent certainty. After all, Shi Hongyi and Xi Chuyun had always followed Li Xuan. With both of them present, it was likely that this was indeed Li Xuan.
With this thought, Xuan Yi Xian nodded and said, "You three, come over for now and tell this seat what exactly happened in the depths."
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded, then glanced at Shi Hongyi and Xi Chuyun, and walked towards where Xuan Yi Xian and the others were.
"Hold on! Although these three are your Xuan Sect disciples, they were here before all of us. The treasures of this place are definitely on them. If your Xuan Sect wants to take them all, you have to ask if our Saint Sect agrees!"
"Furthermore, outside the Xuan Feng Forbidden Zone, that extremely sharp sword intent inexplicably disappeared. Who knows if it wasn't in the hands of these three? Such a treasure, no wonder your Xuan Sect wants to monopolize it!"
Just as Li Xuan was about to move, Zu Xiaoyao's voice suddenly rang out.
As Zu Xiaoyao finished speaking, the leaders of all the factions present turned their gazes towards Li Xuan.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the scene became tense.
