Chapter 660: Chapter 660 Final Battle (Part 1)_1

Xi Jue looked at Zhang Xian with a faint smile, showing no intention of speaking.

Zhang Xian was also looking at Xi Jue.

Seeing that Xi Jue remained quiet for a long time, he gave a cold laugh and asked, "What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?"

"You don’t seem to be in a position to negotiate with me now."

Clutching Senior Sister Ziyu’s neck tightly, Xi Jue chuckled, "With this lass in my hands, you can only obey. Unless you are willing to disregard her life and death. However, based on what I know of you, you are incapable of so cold-blooded an act, and that’s why you’re destined to be defeated by me."

"You’re despicable."

Zizhu cursed, "You were once Senior Sister Ziyu’s mentor, how can you do such inhumane things?"

"Haha..."

Xi Jue let out a loud laugh. "Back in the day, I could even push my own junior sister off a cliff, let alone a junior sister that I just met for the first time. I am not influenced by emotional entanglements."

Zhang Xian helplessly said, "Ask whatever you want to know."

"I just want to know about the events of the Ancient Times."

Xi Jue laughed, "I know, these matters mean nothing to you. But, don’t lie to me, I have done my research and I am not completely ignorant."

"The Ancient Times is simply composed of a few ancient relics, do you really think there is a big secret?"

Zhang Xian curled his mouth and said, "Yes, the Teleportation Array does exist, but can you open it? After all these years, is that Teleportation Array even operational?"

"Zhang Xian, are you taunting me? Or are you unquestionably indifferent to the life and death of this beauty?"

Xi Jue coldly sneered, "Other people might not know about the details of the Ancient Times, but you certainly do. You should also know how to open the portal, since you know about formations, right? There’s no such thing as formations in our martial arts world, yet you could crack the formations left from the Ancient Times. Are you telling me that you haven’t received any legacy from the Ancient Times?"

"This... " Zhang Xian was left speechless.

Originally, he thought that Xi Jue might not have considered that aspect, but unfortunately, he had underestimated how much Xi Jue was focusing on him. Everything he had done recently was in Xi Jue’s control.

As a result, his actions easily led Xi Jue to suspect that he had received an ancient legacy.

"I give you three days."

Grabbing Senior Sister Ziyu tighter, Xi Jue said, "After three days, I will send someone to Lingxiao Island. If you want this beauty to live, bring what I want and come find me."

As soon as he finished speaking, he swiftly turned around and left with Senior Sister Ziyu in his grasp.

"Stop right there..." Zhang Xian wanted to pursue.

Zizhu grabbed Zhang Xian and shook her head, "Zhang Xian, there’s no need to chase. You won’t be able to beat him."

"That damned scoundrel."

With a grim face, Old Man Gui swore, "In three days, I will personally avenge my master."

"Three days is too short a time for us."

Zizhu furrowed her brows, "With our current strength, we can’t confront Xi Jue and his followers. We need to come up with a foolproof plan."

"Kid, you got any ideas?" Old Man Gui looked at Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian shook his head, "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is futile. I can’t think of a good plan for now."

"Shall we go back to Lingxiao Island first?"

Zizhu suggested, "Given the current situation, we can’t assume Xi Jue won’t target the island. After all these years, XI Jue has not changed at all. He is capable of anything."

After a moment of hesitation, Zhang Xian finally nodded. He left the place with Zizhu and Old Man Gui and headed out.

After returning to Lingxiao Island, Zhang Xian, wanting to prevent a similar incident from occurring again, immediately contacted Wen Yulan, Duan Hong, Mu Cheng, and Zhu Yan, and invited them over to Lingxiao Island.

At present, Lingxiao Island was home to various factions and was a gathering spot of numerous beauties, many of whom shared past relationships with Zhang Xian

However, as Senior Sister Ziyu had been captured and the island was facing a threat from the God’s Spokesperson, no problems arose.

One day, after finishing breakfast, Zhang Xian went to the edge of Lingxiao Island. He looked out at the endless sea and fell into deep thought, wondering how to rescue Senior Sister Ziyu.

He had already taken the pill, aware that he could break through at any moment, but the chances were slim. So far, there had been no reaction in his body.

Handing over the Ancient legacy to Xi Jue was also not feasible. If that guy got his hands on the legacy of Ancient Times, chaos would surely follow. By then, no one would be Xi Jue’s match.

"Swoosh..."

Suddenly, a figure shot over from behind. It was Old Man Gui.

Seeing Zhang Xian with furrowed eyebrows, he approached and asked, "What’s wrong? Thinking about Senior Sister Ziyu?"

"Yeah..."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Neither beating Xi Jue nor any other plan seems practical right now. I don’t know how I’m going to save Senior Sister Ziyu."

"Zizhu and I have already discussed this."

Old Man Gui sighed and said, "It’s already the third day, and Xi Jue is likely to have made his move. We may have to give up if we are not sure."

"Just give up?" Zhang Xian asked in surprise.

Old Man Gui nodded, "Yes, we simply can’t risk the entire world for Senior Sister Ziyu alone. Even Zizhu agrees with this."

Zhang Xian shook his head and said, "I won’t give up until the very end."

"What do you plan to do?"

Old Man Gui stared at Zhang Xian, saying, "I know that you’ve taken the elixir, and you could break through at any moment. But keep in mind, your chance of breakthrough is slim, and if Xi Jue kills you, there may be no one else in this world who can match him. Through your inheritance from ancient times, you are currently the only one who can challenge Xi Jue."

"Maybe some genius will emerge in a few years, and Xi Jue will turn into a pile of dirt, but by then, who can overthrow the God’s Spokesperson? Are we to ignite another large-scale chaos? The God’s Spokesperson has already infiltrated various major forces, whether it’s the **** or the orthodox, they have their men everywhere, and even the military is infiltrated."

"In such a situation, the God’s Spokesperson has initiated a war, you should know what that means."

Zhang Xian hesitated for a moment before nodding, "I understand what you’re saying, but I can’t stand by and watch Senior Sister Ziyu be executed by Xi Jue. Throughout this journey, my luck seems to have been good. How can you say with certainty that I won’t suddenly break through this time? This is a gamble, and I won’t allow Ziyu to be the sacrifice in this fight – no one can."

"Was this a decision made after careful consideration?" Old Man Gui asked, frowning.

He knew that Zhang Xian’s personality was very similar to his own, and it was very hard for others to change his mind once he had made a decision. Seeing Zhang Xian’s determination, he hesitated to oppose him anymore.

On such matters, his opposition would be pointless, and he, too, did not want Ziyu to become the sacrifice of this struggle.

"Mmm, I must go," Zhang Xian nodded.

Old Man Gui looked at Zhang Xian and asked again, "Have you considered it thoroughly from all sides?"

Zhang Xian nodded without hesitation.

"Alright..."

Old Man Gui placed one hand on Zhang Xian’s shoulder, stating, "I’ll go with you. No matter how strong the God’s Spokesperson is, we will fight until the last moment."

...

On Lingxiao Island, within the great hall at the mountain top.

Jun Wuhen, Qiu Yun, and others, upon hearing that Zhang Xian was going to confront Xi Jue, the leader of the God’s Spokesperson, all expressed their willingness to go together.

The world of ancient martial arts has now essentially disintegrated and become fragmented, incapable of further unification. Having only just escaped death by a hair’s breadth, very few are willing to jump back into this vortex. This is also true for some forces from other countries, who have all been hit hard by the God’s Spokesperson, scattering in all directions, no longer the formidable forces they once were.

In such circumstances, they are the only ones capable of confronting the God’s Spokesperson.

If they don’t follow, Zhang Xian would be alone in this battle.

"Are you really going to go?"

Zizhu does not approve of a head-on confrontation with Xi Jue. The God’s Spokesperson has many strong members; otherwise, how could they manage to destroy large, non-compliant forces in various countries?

"Mmm, we’ve already decided," Zhang Xian nodded.

Mo Shaoyun approached and asked, "Zhang Xian, can we go with you?"

"No." Zhang Xian shook his head.

Mo Shaoyun’s lips moved, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

Fu Meiting and other women did not speak either. They knew that this matter was of great importance, their willfulness would serve no purpose, and would only cause trouble for Zhang Xian.

"Follow us, then!"

Old Man Gui said, "Xi Jue has sent someone to meet us. We can go straight to the place he mentioned."

"Won’t those guys set a trap for us?" Jun Wuhen asked.

Zhang Xian gave a bitter smile, stating, "What if there is a trap? We have to go."

"Indeed..."

Jun Wuhen gritted his teeth and walked out first, "Let’s go, we’ll go straight there to kill those damn arrogant bastards."

Zhang Xian glanced at Mo Shaoyun and the other women, then turned to follow Jun Wuhen’s steps.

Qiu Yun, Blood Soul, and the others followed closely behind.

Practically all of Lingxiao Island’s fighting power had followed.

"Zhang Xian..."

Mo Shaoyun and the others followed, tears streaming down their faces uncontrollably.

Even the families of the women followed.

Although they were unhappy when they found out about Zhang Xian’s relationships with the women, with Zhang Xian’s capabilities in place, they couldn’t do anything even if they were reluctant.

This time, Zhang Xian was going after this so-called God’s Spokesperson, and they didn’t know if he could return safely.

They felt a mix of emotions.

"Go home."

Zhang Xian paused and turned to smile, "Your husband is an indestructible survivor. A mere God’s Spokesperson won’t be able to do anything to me. I promise to bring Senior Sister back."

"Mmm, we’ll wait for you."

Mo Shaoyun and the other women watched Zhang Xian reluctantly. They nodded, forced their tears back, and refused to cry, so as not to put pressure on Zhang Xian.

"Set in stone."

Zhang Xian chuckled, turned around, and strode outwards vigorously.

The instant he turned around, his eyes welled up with tears, and a strong sense of reluctance surged in his heart. This departure could mean that he might not make it back alive.

This meant that this departure could potentially be a final farewell.

However, he didn’t have any plans to stop. He continued to stride towards the bottom of the mountain.
