Chapter 2990: Chapter 2991: The News Spreads Like Thunder
"Our Sect Leader is in seclusion, and cannot be disturbed easily. If the lady has something to discuss, you may speak directly to me. In this realm, my words carry weight!" Bai Jidong completely ignored the animosity in Jian San’s tone and spoke with a smile.
"Oh? In that case, let me ask you, do you know this person, and where he might be?"
Jian San waved her hand, revealing an image of Xue An.
Bai Jidong’s expression gradually stiffened because he did not recognize the young man in the image, yet he tried to maintain his composure and spoke.
"This person is... "
"His name is Xue An, do you know him?" Jian San asked calmly.
Bai Jidong looked embarrassed and shook his head, "I don’t know, but... "
Before he could finish, Jian San displayed impatience, "If you don’t know then why are you wasting words?"
Bai Jidong was left red-faced with a surge of anger, glaring at Jian San with the intent to scold her.
However, at that moment, a scene unfolded before him that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Jian San slightly raised her eyebrows, and a tiny sword formed at her brow, slicing directly towards Yunlong Abyss in the distance.
During its flight, the small sword rapidly enlarged, and when it reached Yunlong Abyss, it had already grown as large as a mountain.
Yunlong Abyss’ Mountain Protection Array suddenly appeared, but it shattered within a few mere moments and then this Sword Intent with supreme might crushed all the ground structures of Yunlong Abyss.
Bai Jidong stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the scene before him, suddenly feeling a chill through his entire body.
Laughable that he previously mistook this young girl for an ordinary person, attempting to show off in order to win her favor.
Now it’s clear, the thought was utterly foolish and laughable.
With just the power of this sword, not just himself, even his Sect Leader would likely have to yield.
Bai Jidong secretly felt relieved.
Amid the ruins of Yunlong Abyss, several streams of light ascended, the largest and fastest among them shouted angrily.
"Who? Who wielded this Sword Intent?"
Jian San stepped forward, instantly appearing in front of the shouting light, her sword light shimmering as she thrust forward.
The light halted, revealing the figure inside.
It was Yunlong Abyss’ Sect Leader, Cheng Hongyan.
At this moment, Cheng Hongyan dared not even move, as a small sword was pointed right at his throat.
Cheng Hongyan had no doubt about the small sword’s power. Any rash movement by him would definitely send him to his end.
Thus he stood frozen in the air, dripping with sweat as he looked at the girl opposite.
By now, the other experts of Yunlong Abyss had rushed over. Upon seeing their Sect Leader being held hostage, they wanted to charge forward to rescue him.
But in the next instant, the small sword pushed further, its tip piercing Cheng Hongyan’s skin.
Blood flowed out, and Cheng Hongyan screamed in terror, "No one come closer!"
Only then did everyone halt, and Cheng Hongyan took a deep breath, looking at the girl in front of him, as cool as the moon, trying to steady his voice.
"May I ask why has this Sword Cultivator suddenly visited?"
"Are you the Sect Leader of this sect?"
"Yes! I am Cheng Hong... "
Jian San didn’t pay attention to his name, directly asking, "Do you know Xue An?"
"Xue An?" Cheng Hongyan’s expression changed drastically upon hearing the name.
Seeing his reaction, Jian San immediately knew he must be in the know, so she promptly pursued further, "You know?"
"Of course I know, and now it seems the entire universe knows this Xue An!" Cheng Hongyan replied in a strained voice.
"Where is he!"
Cheng Hongyan looked at Jian San strangely, speculating about the relationship between this extraordinarily powerful Sword Cultivator girl and the Xue An who recently caused such a stir throughout the high-dimensional universe.
During this silence, Jian San frowned.
"What? Don’t want to say?"
"No, no, of course not! I just... I just don’t know how to explain to you!" Cheng Hongyan anxiously rubbed his hands.
"What do you mean?"
"I do know where Xue An is, but I cannot guarantee whether he is alive or dead at this moment!"
Cheng Hongyan wasn’t worried about Jian San encountering danger; in fact, he wished the girl who destroyed his sect’s buildings without regard would perish.
But he realized, if he didn’t clarify beforehand, should the girl find Xue An dead, she might vent her anger upon him.
Offending a top-tier Sword Cultivator means being one foot in the grave already.
So after speaking, Cheng Hongyan cautiously glanced at Jian San, yet didn’t see any emotion on her face.
"Just speak straight, don’t worry, I won’t hold it against you!"
"Yes!"
Upon reassessment, Cheng Hongyan felt assured and quickly said, "Currently, Xue An is trapped on Great Sun Island, surrounded by numerous evil entities. Communication has been completely cut off, so no one knows whether he is alive or dead!"
"How far is Great Sun Island from here? How long have the evil entities been besieging it?"
"Great Sun Island is quite far from here. When I learned of this news, it had been three days, so I don’t know the current situation either!"
Jian San fell silent.
Cheng Hongyan feared and trembled.
Being held at sword-point on the neck was an unpleasant sensation.
"What are the specific coordinates of Great Sun Island?" Jian San abruptly asked.
Seeing it as a great relief, Cheng Hongyan hurriedly detailed the position of Great Sun Island.
After listening, Jian San hesitated no longer, turned and left.
In an instant, her figure transformed into sword light and disappeared into the horizon, leaving the people of Yunlong Abyss stunned on the spot.
Much later, someone stepped forward and whispered, "Sect... Sect Leader, just let her leave like that?"
Cheng Hongyan glanced at the speaker, "Otherwise? Want to chase her and seek revenge now?"
The speaker shivered all over, daring not to utter another word.
The blood around Cheng Hongyan’s neck had long ceased, he gently rubbed his rapidly healing wound, muttering to himself.
"Everyone believes Xue An is dead for sure, but the appearance of this girl adds countless variables, surely many will be disappointed!"
Indeed!
Currently, the news that Xue An is surrounded by countless evil entities before Feixian Temple on Great Sun Island has spread throughout the universe.
All of a sudden, numerous sects were shaken.
After all, the events of recent times constitute more occurrences than those of millennia past.
First, Senluo Valley was annihilated, soon after Feixian Temple was occupied by evil entities, but very quickly these entities were eradicated by Xue An.
The series of upheavals is simply dazzling.
But now it seems everything is reaching its end.
For the evil entities besieging Feixian Temple are formidable, even in the high-dimensional universe!
