Chapter 752: Is It Over?
Alas... even though he had this resolution in mind, it seemed like he was fated to always be late in this lifetime.
When he rushed to Jingxue-Jun’s location, all he found was countless righteous cultivators with their swords unsheathed, besieging a lone figure clad in light blue robe and a sword as ivory as a snow. All around him were curses, "Kill! Kill him! Kill the demonic cultivator! Kill the traitor!!"
His eyes turned red and before he knew it, he drew his own sword out too. Not to fight Jingxue-Jun, but to hold those righteous cultivators who had come for his life in the name of justice and Heaven. Alas before he could even take one step forward, his arm was forcefully grabbed from behind, "What are you doing?!"
He did not have the time to examine the brief déjà vu that flashed through his mind because his entire attention was focused on the person who was holding him back. It was the inner disciple who always visited him in the Lingyan Sect.
He had not seen the other for a few months, and the man had changed beyond comparison. His height shot up like a bamboo, his shoulders broadened and his features became more angular. He could not even begin to guess why the disciple was here because he was too consumed by irritation and impatience. He had to get to Jingxue-Jun as quickly as possible, or else...
"Let go," he scowled.
"No! Are you going to send yourself to death?! Do you think you’re stronger than everyone here?!"
His scowl deepened. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to win against all these elite cultivators, but how could he sit still and watch as harm came to those whom he was supposed to protect?! But before he could brush the disciple off, the sky abruptly dimmed and golden lightning weaved through the dark clouds.
"...Heavenly tribulation?"
