Be sure to stay alive.

"Pfft..." In the eyes of everyone, Zhang Chunyang was so angry at the sudden change that his internal injuries flared up and he spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then, angrily, he raised his left hand and slapped Fang Chen on the shoulder.

Looking at Fang Chen being slapped and flying away, Huang Wuji and others couldn't help showing joy on their faces. Now that there was no obstruction from the people of the Sword Sect, wasn't Fang Chen and the Returning Yuan Sword still...

Just at this moment, another change occurred. Fang Chen, who was slapped and flew to the cliff side by Zhang Chunyang, hadn't landed yet when suddenly a silver light flashed on his body and his body quickly floated into the air. Then, before everyone could react, with a few flashes, he flew away like a stream of light in an instant.

Zhang Chunyang seemed to be shocked by this change and stood there dumbfounded. It wasn't until Fang Chen's figure disappeared on the horizon that he suddenly came to his senses and said angrily in a low voice, "Yun Feiyang, you taught a good disciple!"

Yun Feiyang looked at the people of the Sword Sect with shame. After deeply lowering his head, he gritted his teeth and said, "Even if Fang Chen can escape with the Returning Yuan Sword today, I will never let him go in the future."

"This wicked disciple is no longer a disciple of my Sword Sect from now on!" Zhang Chunyang snorted coldly. Turning his head and looking at the other five peak masters, he said, "If you meet him in the future, kill him on the spot without saying more!"

"Yes!"

Huang Wuji and others had already lost interest in paying attention to the internal affairs of the Sword Sect. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

"That kid is only at the Xuan Spirit Realm. Even if he can escape with the power of the Returning Yuan Sword, after all, the Returning Yuan Sword is an ancient divine object and it's impossible that there is no consumption. If we chase immediately, we may not be unable to catch up!" Another group of people just happened to see what had happened before. After recovering from the shock, someone immediately said.

"Yes, there are so many of us. If we scatter and chase, even with the help of the Returning Yuan Sword, that kid Fang Chen can't escape!"

"You are right, sir. Then let's chase quickly. If Fang Chen runs far away, it will be difficult to find the Returning Yuan Sword."

"Yes, yes..."

Listening to the chaotic discussions behind him, Huang Wuji and the Black Flame Old Ancestor looked at each other. After nodding to each other, their figures suddenly rose into the air. Then they flew away to the left and right, breaking through the air.

Those who reacted quickly saw that the two powerhouses of the Xuan Saint Realm had chased out. They couldn't help but quickly use their own unique skills and then chased after them.

Whether one can obtain the Returning Yuan Sword is not determined by one's cultivation level. Didn't you see that the two Xuan Saint Realm powerhouses came so early and still didn't get it? Besides, Fang Chen's strength is so low. If I find him, then... Hehe...

Thinking of this, those who were still hesitating saw that the people who chased out earlier had disappeared without a trace. They couldn't help stomping their feet in anxiety and quickly chased after them.

When all the people who came to snatch the Returning Yuan Sword had left completely to chase Fang Chen, Yun Feiyang covered his chest and struggled to stand up. He walked to Zhang Chunyang's side and said softly, "Thank you, senior brother."

Hearing this, Zhang Chunyang looked at the seven peaks of the Sword Sect shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. A faint smile gradually appeared on his face. "We have done everything we can. What will happen in the future depends on Fang Chen's fortune."

"Sect master, you all..." Only at this time did Song Huiyang understand. It turned out that everything just now was actually to protect Fang Chen. "But... the Returning Yuan Sword... Is this really worth it?"

"Worth it!" Zhang Chunyang turned back and looked at Song Huiyang and others. Seriously, he said, "Fang Chen has been in my Sword Sect for less than four years. When he participated in the Seven Peaks Grand Competition for the first three times, he was only at the Xuan Master Realm. But this time when he came to participate, not only has his cultivation broken through to the minor consummation of the Xuan Spirit Realm, but he has also comprehended sword intent."

At this point, Zhang Chunyang looked at Yun Feiyang and continued, "Moreover, according to Junior Brother Yun, until ten days before this grand competition, Fang Chen was still at the Xuan Master Realm."

"What? Impossible!" Everyone exclaimed. Even the most monstrous genius couldn't break through from the Xuan Master Realm to the Xuan Spirit Realm in ten days, let alone comprehend sword intent!

"There is nothing impossible." Yun Feiyang gently shook his head and said, "In fact, to be exact, Fang Chen broke through from the Xuan Master Realm to the Xuan Spirit Realm in less than three days."

Before everyone could recover from the shock, Yun Feiyang continued, "I saw that he had a sudden enlightenment and even comprehended the embryonic form of sword intent. So on the pretext of teaching the Nine Swords of Wind and Cloud, I hoped to help him comprehend the sword intent to the first level. Who would have thought..."

At this point, Yun Feiyang's mouth actually hung a wry smile. "Who would have thought that he actually completely learned the Nine Swords of Wind and Cloud that I had comprehended for three months just by looking at it once. Moreover, he also comprehended the sword intent to the first level..."

Looking at the wry smile on her father's mouth, Yun Qianqian couldn't help but think of all the things that had happened in the four years she had been with Fang Chen. Her little junior brother really took the phrase 'if one doesn't make a sound, it's fine; but once one makes a sound, it startles everyone' to the extreme. It's a pity, because of this Returning Yuan Sword, alas...

"Really?!" Song Huiyang and Wu Qingfeng recovered from the shock and said in unison.

Seeing Yun Feiyang nod silently, Zhang Chunyang continued, "Just now you were only focused on the Returning Yuan Sword. I'm afraid you didn't notice that Fang Chen is only one step away from the Xuan Zong Realm at this time. It can also be said that as long as he wants, he can break through at any time. Moreover, when I was healing him just now, I found that his sword intent has broken through to the second level."

Wu Qingfeng remembered the scene where Fang Chen received his attack. His face suddenly changed and he couldn't help but smile wryly. "The sect master is right. At that time, I was only focused on the Returning Yuan Sword and actually ignored Fang Chen..."

Hearing Wu Qingfeng admit it, the others quickly recalled everything that happened from when Fang Chen came out of the Sword Tomb to when he escaped. They couldn't help looking at each other. If what happened before was just hearsay, then what they saw with their own eyes... Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help showing a wry smile. "Now with the Returning Yuan Sword, Fang Chen is like a fish in water. When he grows up in the future, today's matter..."

"You can rest assured about this! Fang Chen is definitely not an ungrateful person. The Returning Yuan Sword is of great importance. I believe he can understand everything you have done." Yun Feiyang said firmly.

"That's good, that's good." Hearing this, Song Huiyang and others who knew Yun Feiyang well couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Okay, you should keep this in mind. Remember to keep it a secret. This is related to the future of my Sword Sect. Everyone must keep it a secret!" Zhang Chunyang's faint tone actually revealed a sense of majesty.

"Yes!"

...

On the way back to Hidden Sword Peak, Yun Qianqian looked at Yun Feiyang who had regained his indifferent look. She couldn't help but worry and say, "Father, will little junior brother..."

"No!" After answering subconsciously, seeing that Yun Qianqian's face was full of worry, Yun Feiyang stroked his beard under his chin. His tone was full of a taste of reminiscence. "Someone told me that if the Returning Yuan Sword appears, it must be that the person it is waiting for has arrived. And for a person waited for by an ancient supreme treasure, if you say he doesn't have great fortune by his side, do you believe it?"

"No." After pondering for a moment with her head down, Yun Qianqian answered. At this time, the worry on her face finally faded a lot.

Looking at the setting sun gradually disappearing into the night, Yun Feiyang looked in the direction where Fang Chen flew away. His mouth moved slightly. If someone could understand lip language, they would definitely see that what he said was, Fang Chen, be sure to stay alive!
