Looking at the composed young man before him, Li Cangyun's dim eyes flashed with a hint of guilt. There were some things he simply could not change; he was a member of the Xuan Lei Sect and had to prioritize the interests of the Sect above all else. No matter how outstanding Sun Zhe was, he would still unhesitatingly choose the Sect's interests over him.
"You have indeed grown quite a bit these past few years..."
Li Cangyun opened his mouth, only to find that every word felt so pale and powerless. The many thoughts he had in mind ultimately turned into just this one sentence.
"You've aged quite a bit as well."
Sun Zhe replied calmly, his expression unchanged.
What was their relationship? All the newly admitted Outer Sect Disciples stared blankly at the scene before them. Not only was Elder Li of high status, but even Elder Han seemed to be lost in thought. The fierce battle they had anticipated did not unfold; it was as if these two had known each other for a long time.
"Could this young man have been part of the Xuan Lei Sect before?"
In an instant, this thought surged in their minds simultaneously.
"Li Cangyun, Han Xin, what are you waiting for? Are you planning to protect this traitor of the Xuan Lei Sect?" Zhou Houyao, who stood behind them, immediately shouted loudly upon seeing this scene.
Li Cangyun's body shook, but his dim eyes suddenly burst with a compelling brilliance. The signs of aging vanished instantly, and his aura surged dramatically as he fixed his gaze on Sun Zhe and said in a deep voice,
"Sun Zhe, you might as well surrender. I will plead for you with the Grand Elder."
Sun Zhe was slightly taken aback, not understanding when the Xuan Lei Sect had acquired a Grand Elder.
"The Grand Elder is that old fellow Zhou Qi. He has advanced to the Realm of the Thunder Lord and now controls the entire Sect. The authority of the Sect Master and the Three Great Guardian Elders has been completely usurped by him, and most of the Elders within are essentially his people," Zhao Ang's voice suddenly echoed in Sun Zhe's ear.
The corner of Sun Zhe's mouth lifted slightly, his eyebrows raised in amusement as he replied,
"Surrender? Do you think I am still that Sun Zhe from back then? You are merely at the peak of Thunder Sovereign. Back then, so many people surrounded me and couldn't catch me; do you really believe you can take me down... Step aside; I am only here to find Zhou Qi." Sun Zhe's gaze flickered slightly, and his expression darkened a bit.
"Brother Sun, we will hold them off for you; hurry and chase after Zhou Houyao."
Shen Yan quickly appeared in front of Sun Zhe. She understood the relationship between Sun Zhe and Li Cangyun. If it were anyone else, with Sun Zhe's strength, there would be no need for such conversation here. She knew that ultimately, Sun Zhe would find it hard to act against Li Cangyun.
"Senior Brother, you go first; we will handle things here." Shen He and Qian Haiyang exchanged glances and shouted in unison. Since Shen Yan, a girl, dared to stand up for Sun Zhe, what were they afraid of? If things went south, they could all face it together.
In an instant, led by Zhao Ang and Shen Yan, seven or eight people stood in front of Sun Zhe, fearlessly blocking Li Cangyun and his group, seemingly showcasing the scene from years ago when a group of Outer Sect disciples united against the Inner Sect.
"None of you will leave today!"
A cold voice rang out from behind the crowd as a group of seven or eight people quickly approached. All of them were dressed in white robes, and the leader was none other than another Guardian Elder from the Xuan Lei Sect, a powerful figure who had already reached the peak of Thunder Sovereign.
The presence of these seven or eight Thunder Sovereign Level experts was overwhelming. Even before they got close, a powerful aura surged towards them. Shen Yan and Zhao Ang's faces turned slightly pale as they were pushed back by this immense pressure. Meanwhile, Sun Zhe furrowed his brow and swiftly positioned himself in front of the others, coldly staring at the Xuan Lei Sect members across from him, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
"Haha... I didn't expect Junior Brother Jin to arrive so quickly. It seems Junior Brother Jin has indeed embraced the Zhou family; what good fortune you have..."
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, another group emerged from the other side of the courtyard. This group consisted of dozens of people, including over thirty Inner Sect Disciples closely following behind. Leading them were seven or eight elder-level figures, among whom were Fang Yuan, the Sect Master of Xuan Lei Sect, and Dongfang Quan, another Guardian Elder and Zhao Ang's grandfather.
Upon seeing Fang Yuan and Dongfang Quan appear, Elder Jin's gaze sharpened; it was clear that this group did not come with good intentions.
"Sect Master, Elder Dongfang, this Sun Zhe is a traitor to our Xuan Lei Sect. Shouldn't we work together to capture him?"
With a slight glint in his eyes, he spoke loudly as he looked at Fang Yuan's approaching group.
"Hmph, what traitor? This is merely Zhou Qi's decision alone. The Sect Master and I were never informed about this matter. As for you, as a Guardian Elder of the Sect, you fail to report to the Sect Master and constantly follow that old man Zhou Qi around; what kind of conduct is that?" Dongfang Quan retorted sharply without any courtesy.
"Friend Sun Zhe, this matter of treason was solely decided by Zhou Qi. I was unaware of it. If you are willing to return to the Sect, I, Fang Yuan, will grant you the position of Guardian Elder in our Sect. What do you think?"
Ignoring Elder Jin's suggestion, Fang Yuan walked up to Sun Zhe with a smile, lacking any trace of his previous imposing demeanor, and sincerely extended an invitation.
"You... You dare defy the Grand Elder's wishes... Do you know what the consequences will be?" Hearing Fang Yuan's words caused Elder Jin's expression to change dramatically; cold light flickered in his eyes as anger spread among those behind him. They were all Zhou Qi's people, and now it was evident that Fang Yuan and his group intended to oppose Zhou Qi. One by one, they tightened their grips on their weapons.
In an instant, both sides faced off against each other; their powerful auras clashed violently. The upper Void of Xuan Lei Sect stirred up waves of energy that shocked all the strong individuals in Beifeng City, drawing their attention toward Xuan Lei Sect.
"Over the years, Sun Zhe has grown accustomed to being lazy on his own. I think we should abandon what the Sect Master proposed. Since you all are so determined, I'll leave this place to you; I'm going to find Zhou Qi." Observing Fang Yuan's aggressive approach made it clear to Sun Zhe what their intentions were; however, he showed no concern.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe's figure flickered and vanished into thin air before hundreds of onlookers. When everyone saw him again, he had already appeared several dozen feet away. His speed left everyone present in shock—especially Fang Yuan, who had reached the peak of Thunder Sovereign—his gaze narrowed slightly as a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
He couldn't even discern how Sun Zhe had left; Sun Zhe's strength was beyond his expectations.
"Sect Master, is this really okay? Why don't we join forces to deal with that old man? At least it would increase our chances..."
Dongfang Quan walked up to Fang Yuan, looking in the direction where Sun Zhe had left, and spoke with some concern.
"According to the information we have received, although he is only at the Realm of Thunder Sovereign, his strength is not to be underestimated against a Thunder Lord early-stage Cultivator. Zhou Qi was merely forced by an elder of the Golden Thunder Sect to advance to the Thunder Lord early stage; he should be able to handle it. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn't have rushed into the Xuan Lei Sect. He is not an impulsive person... Right now, we just need to deal with this group of traitors in front of us. It is time for the Xuan Lei Sect to regain its peace."
Fang Yuan's eyes slowly lifted, gazing at the crowd before him. A cold glint flashed across his eyes as he coldly stated,
"Zhou Qi has rebelled against the Xuan Lei Sect; all those who collude with him shall be dealt with as accomplices!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The many elders and disciples behind Fang Yuan, under Dongfang Quan's lead, charged forward fiercely and engaged in battle with Elder Jin and Zhou Qi's loyal followers. The entire Xuan Lei Sect was instantly filled with shouts and cries of battle.
On this day, Sun Zhe's return was destined to be an unsettled one.
Watching the direction where Sun Zhe had left, a strange color flashed in Fang Yuan's jet black eyes.
"I didn't expect the Golden Thunder Sect to retract their assassination order against you; this is a rare occurrence in a hundred years. What kind of means do you possess that could make such a large sect change their mind..."
If it weren't for the Golden Thunder Sect retracting their assassination order, no matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare to cooperate with Sun Zhe.
