Chapter 721: Chapter 721: Conspiracy Exposed

"Are they people from the Jade Cauldron Sect’s Battle Eagle Squad?"

"So it is, you’ve schemed against me."

"Such a vicious mind, to actually want to frame Lingxi in injustice, why would you do this?"

Zhao Yuntian recognized the people pursuing him as the Jade Cauldron Sect’s Battle Eagle Squad after they dissolved his seven beams of Spiritual Light with a few Arrow Feathers, and his heart immediately acknowledged this fact.

Zhao Yuntian’s business acumen surpassed that of Zhao Lingxi, and he was incredibly intelligent. At that moment, he realized he had fallen into Zhao Zhongtian’s trap.

Zhao Zhongtian lured him here to unknowingly create a life-and-death situation against the Jade Cauldron Sect’s forces.

Once this incident was investigated, it would inevitably affect Zhao Lingxi’s position within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Even if Lin Chen favored her, those rumours and gossips would also be forces that harmed her spirit.

According to Zhao Zhongtian’s scheme, as long as he injured any member of the Battle Eagle Squad, once the Jade Cauldron Sect conducted their investigation, Zhao Lingxi would find it difficult to stand within the sect.

Similarly, if Zhao Yuntian were killed by someone from the Jade Cauldron Sect, Zhao Lingxi might also develop a barrier in her heart towards the Jade Cauldron Sect, making it impossible for her to devote herself completely to serving the sect.

At this moment, having realized Zhao Zhongtian’s conspiracy, Zhao Yuntian intended to explain to the people from the Jade Cauldron Sect.

However, his seven beams of Spiritual Light, which were initially meant to take the lives of Yu Jin and the others, did not leave any opportunity for the Jade Cauldron Sect to listen to him, continuously attacking without giving him any chance to explain.

Now, faced with the combined assault of the Battle Eagle Squad and the Dark Division, Zhao Yuntian’s heart was filled with indescribable bitterness as he could only continue to resist fiercely.

At this moment, Zhao Zhongtian, watching the Battle Eagle Squad’s forces arrive at the scene, immediately abandoned the idea of casually eliminating a Dark Division martial artist.

Are you kidding? With both the Battle Eagle Squad and the Dark Division here, if he stayed any longer, he might indeed find his grave on this battleground.

Whoosh—

Zhao Zhongtian took advantage of the clash between Zhao Yuntian and the Jade Cauldron Sect’s forces and immediately fled.

His original concoction of this plot against Zhao Yuntian and Zhao Lingxi stemmed from the resentment in his heart and his hatred for Lin Chen; he lacked the strength to take revenge on Lin Chen or Zhao Lingxi, so he could only resort to this method.

And now, the direction in which Zhao Zhongtian fled was towards the Red Soul Hall.

Zhao Zhongtian had already pledged allegiance to the Red Soul Hall long before he decided to frame Zhao Yuntian.

Of course, this decision meant that he had abandoned the Zhao Family at the Formation Sect Outer Sect.

After all, following this incident, he would have no place in either the Formation Sect or the former Divine Sun City; he would likely become a street rat, scorned by everyone.

Lin Chen, Zhao Lingxi, Zhao Yuntian, and even the Zhao Family, none would let him off.

Therefore, he had already planned an escape route for himself, which was to join the Red Soul Hall.

For those like him, who lived within the Divine Flame Alliance and understood some of its secrets, the Red Soul Hall naturally welcomed all comers.

Now, the expressions of Xu Tian and others from the Battle Eagle Squad turned unpleasant. Their prolonged inability to defeat Zhao Yuntian was stirring murderous intent.

If that’s the case, there’s no need to capture him alive, just shoot and kill him right here.

...

Initially, Xu Fei, like Xu Tian, believed that Zhao Zhongtian, being just a Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm martial artist, would be easily handled by the seven from the Dark Division.

However, when Yu Jin and Xu Tian had been chasing for quite a while without any sign of activity, Xu Fei sensed something was amiss and hurriedly led a part of the Battle Eagle Squad over.

At this moment, seeing Zhao Zhongtian escaping again, the people of Jade Cauldron Sect thought that Zhao Yuntian was intentionally letting Zhao Zhongtian go first, choosing to stay behind to deal with them.

Xu Tian and Yu Jin understood that if Zhao Yuntian was not defeated, they would not be able to catch up with Zhao Zhongtian.

At this moment, unable to defeat Zhao Yuntian after a long battle, Xu Tian’s heart was suddenly filled with raging anger.

Even Yu Jin secretly sensed that Zhao Yuntian was exceptionally powerful.

Therefore, they must unleash their true and formidable power to kill Zhao Yuntian on the spot, only then could they pursue Zhao Zhongtian.

Whoosh whoosh—

Suddenly, under Xu Tian’s command, members of the Battle Eagle Squad took out Thunderfire Arrow Feathers imbued with the essence of thunder and fire from their storage bags, and placed them on their bowstrings.

These arrow feathers in their hands were no longer silver, but gold.

The Golden Arrow Feathers, far more expensive to make than the silver Thunder Chasing Strike and difficult to refine, were not cheap.

For the army of the Battle Eagle Squad, these arrow feathers were treasures, more important than their own lives.

At this moment, over a dozen members of the Battle Eagle Squad placed the Golden Arrow Feathers on their bowstrings and aimed at Zhao Yuntian. The Golden Arrow Feathers flew from their hands.

As soon as the Thunderfire Arrow Feathers left the strings, they turned into a powerful wave of thunderfire light charging towards Zhao Yuntian.

Zhao Yuntian felt a full sense of danger coming from that mass of Golden Lightning Arrows.

If hit, he would almost certainly die.

A surge of terror suddenly rose in Zhao Yuntian’s heart. Could it really be his end here today?

Xu Fei had just arrived at the scene and saw the vast army of the Battle Eagle Squad taking out the Golden Lightning Arrows, and he was extremely shocked.

The target they were aiming to kill was none other than Zhao Yuntian.

Although Xu Tian was his brother, he did not recognize Zhao Yuntian.

However, Xu Fei had joined the Jade Cauldron Sect earlier, and although he had not seen Zhao Yuntian in person, he had seen his portrait, which was held by Zhao Lingxi.

"Do not shoot this man!"

Xu Fei now shouted frantically at the army of the Battle Eagle Squad, trying to stop everyone’s arrows from hitting Zhao Yuntian.

What a joke, if Zhao Yuntian died at the hands of his own Battle Eagle Squad, they would probably never see the light of day within the Jade Cauldron Sect.

At this moment, hearing Xu Fei’s loud shout of intervention after running over, Xu Tian and Yu Jin, although not understanding why Xu Fei would do so, still chose to trust him, after all, Xu Fei was the captain of this Battle Eagle Squad.

But at this moment, the energy in the arrow feathers held by the members of the Battle Eagle Squad had already been concentrated and was difficult to withdraw, so they had to aim into the sky and let the arrows fly in vain.

In an instant, dozens of Golden Arrow Feathers carrying the might of thunder and flames shot toward the sky, exploding into a massive surge above.

For a moment, the entire sky became blindingly bright, followed by searing energy waves sweeping across the sky in all directions.

Such immense power, had it exploded on a person, would not spare even Zhao Yuntian with his Half-Step Heavenly Human Realm Cultivation, let alone a true Heavenly Human Realm being, who would likely be blown to ashes.
