Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Without dwelling on what Ji Aoxin was thinking, let's turn our attention back to Chen Tian. After killing Hu Ben, Chen Tian's momentum didn't diminish. With a wild dance of the Xuanjin Immortal Sword in his hand, hundreds of fierce sword energies burst forth, annihilating the black-robed bald man and the demonic army he led.

And Chen Tian only took a short half-hour to complete all of this!

In this half-hour, the situation in the Chao Yun Sect underwent earth-shattering changes, and the demonic army that came to attack them was completely buried here.

"Senior, I know I was wrong, please don't kill us!"

Chen Tian killed Hu Ben and the demonic army, but he left the twenty-odd rebellious Chao Yun Sect elders alive. After all, for Chen Tian, this was a family matter of the Chao Yun Sect and it was better to let them resolve it themselves.

Seeing the miserable fate of Hu Ben and the others, the rebellious Chao Yun Sect elders trembled with fear, their faces completely filled with horror.

However, Chen Tian didn't have the leisure to pay attention to their affairs at this time. He walked to Daoist Xu Chang's side and said indifferently, "These people are left for you to deal with."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, Daoist Xu Chang's body trembled violently, but after regaining his senses, he bowed extremely respectfully to Chen Tian and said, "Thank you, Senior!"

Daoist Xu Chang had been in charge of the Chao Yun Sect for many years, so he naturally knew the deep meaning implied in Chen Tian's actions.

You must know that the Chao Yun Sect was currently in an unprecedented moment of crisis. Although the external troubles had been resolved with Chen Tian's help, the internal worries of the Chao Yun Sect had not yet been resolved.

And the root of this internal worry was these twenty-odd former Chao Yun Sect elders who were kneeling in the square.

As the saying goes, when people's hearts are scattered, it's difficult to lead the team. In the most difficult moment of the Chao Yun Sect, these twenty-odd people not only didn't step forward, but instead surrendered to the demonic cultivators and became traitors to the Chao Yun Sect. If they were just ordinary disciples, then it wouldn't matter, but in fact, these twenty-odd people were all high-ranking figures in the Chao Yun Sect, and three of them were even Daoist Xu Chang's fellow disciples from the same class.

Their betrayal fundamentally shook the hearts of the Chao Yun Sect and also caused a huge rift in Daoist Xu Chang's prestige within the sect.

Therefore, if this matter couldn't be handled well, then even if the Chao Yun Sect survived this calamity today, it would inevitably disintegrate afterward. In other words, the crisis within the Chao Yun Sect had not yet been completely resolved!

And the reason why Chen Tian handed the twenty-odd people over to Daoist Xu Chang was to give Daoist Xu Chang a chance to re-establish his authority.

Only by letting Daoist Xu Chang deal with these traitors could the hearts of the Chao Yun Sect be reunited, and it could also help Daoist Xu Chang re-establish his prestige. Only in this way could this internal worry be eliminated!

After understanding Chen Tian's good intentions, Daoist Xu Chang didn't hesitate at all. He took a step forward and said to the twenty-odd people kneeling on the ground with a solemn expression, "Betraying the sect and being greedy for life and afraid of death is disloyalty! Abandoning the ancestors and surrendering to the demons is unfilial! Forgetting kindness and righteousness and obliterating humanity is unkindness! If I don't punish you unloyal, unfilial, and unkind people today, then I will not be worthy of the founding ancestors above, and I will not be worthy of the fellow disciples who share life and death below. Therefore, you must die today!"

After saying that, Daoist Xu Chang's momentum surged, and he suddenly shouted, "Zhu Jian Sword, appear!"

"Boom!"

As soon as Daoist Xu Chang's voice fell, a dark cloud suddenly gathered over the Chao Yun Sect, and when the dark cloud rolled to its most violent point, a thunderbolt suddenly struck down from above. After the electric light dissipated, a simple-looking purple long sword with great power suddenly appeared in Daoist Xu Chang's hand.

"Eh?"

Chen Tian's face had been very calm and without any waves, but when Daoist Xu Chang summoned this purple long sword, Chen Tian seemed to have noticed something, and a hint of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Daoist Xu Chang didn't notice Chen Tian's strange expression. At this time, he pinched his fingers with both hands and suddenly shot a ray of spiritual light into the long sword named 'Zhu Jian'. Immediately afterward, the purple light on the Zhu Jian Sword shone brightly, dividing into twenty-odd parts, like twenty-odd purple light dragons, whistling and rushing towards the trembling Chao Yun Sect traitors.

These twenty-odd people had already regretted it so much that their intestines turned green, but at this time, no matter how much they regretted it, it was useless. In endless fear, their bodies were instantly swallowed by the twenty-odd giant dragons transformed by the majestic sword energy.

In a short moment, these twenty-odd people were all annihilated under the strangulation of the endless sword momentum, leaving not even a trace!

This fierce and terrifying method made the other Chao Yun Sect disciples feel a chill in their hearts, but after the surprise, they became excited again. After all, for them, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to kill these traitors who surrendered to the demons hundreds of times.

Daoist Xu Chang glanced at the Chao Yun Sect disciples around him who were filled with righteous indignation, and he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the internal worries that had been plaguing the Chao Yun Sect's future development had also dissipated when these twenty-odd people died.

Thinking of this, Daoist Xu Chang ignored the fatigue on his body and immediately turned around and knelt down to Chen Tian, his tone sincere and respectful, "If it weren't for Senior's rescue this time, our Chao Yun Sect would have suffered a great disaster! This kindness and virtue will be unforgettable to the Chao Yun Sect forever!"

"This kindness and virtue will be unforgettable forever!"

At the same time, all the other Chao Yun Sect disciples also followed Daoist Xu Chang and knelt down to Chen Tian.

In their hearts, they had already regarded Chen Tian as their great benefactor who had saved them.

"It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning, you all get up."

Chen Tian looked at this scene, but just smiled lightly, then he waved his sleeves, and a swift and fierce wind surged out, supporting everyone's bodies and making them all stand up from the ground.

"What is the name of this sword?"

Just when Daoist Xu Chang was deeply puzzled, Chen Tian suddenly spoke, his eyes staring straight at the long sword that Daoist Xu Chang was holding tightly in his hand.

"Hmm? Senior, are you talking about this sword?" After hearing Chen Tian's question, Daoist Xu Chang immediately raised the long sword in his hand and said respectfully, "Reporting to Senior, this sword is called Zhu Jian, and it is the sect master's token passed down from generation to generation in our Chao Yun Sect."

"Hmm? Zhu Jian Sword?" Chen Tian repeated in a low voice, then he looked at Daoist Xu Chang again and said, "Can you let me take a look at this sword?"

"What?" However, after hearing Chen Tian's request, Daoist Xu Chang was immediately surprised, with a look of horror on his face, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
