After He Jun said this, he seemed to take it for granted. He truly believed that these things should be handed over to them, and not to Xuanfu.
Even though Qingyang Xuanfu was different from before after Zhang Yu became Xuanzheng, there were very few True Cultivators who had a clear understanding of the current situation like Yu Fu. Most True Cultivators only focused on cultivation, and knew little about the changes in the outside world. They were unwilling to understand, so their understanding remained in the past.
After the two received the news from Daoist Chu, they agreed that it was not appropriate to leave the blood essence in Xuanfu's possession, and that it should be taken back.
Zhang Yu glanced at the two of them and said in an indifferent voice: "My Profound Palace has its own rules on how to deal with the items collected from the battlefield." He looked at the two of them, "Forgive me for not being able to hand over this item."
The things of heretical cultivators were useless to him, and he never used them. However, just as he said, Xuanfu also had its own rules on how to deal with things taken from the battlefield.
Also, just as these True Cultivators did not trust Xuanfu, he did not trust them either. Baixiu Shangren was a True Cultivator, but it was very likely that he was involved with heretical cultivators. Other True Cultivators might be suspicious as well.
This time, he mainly seized large amounts of blood essence. When he returned, he would find a way to seal it. He definitely would not hand it over.
Moreover, these two people came to him in such a hurry after only one night. This made him feel a sense of unusualness.
When He Jun and Guan Xuan heard him say this, they both showed displeasure.
Guan Xuan said coldly, "Since Zhang Xuanzheng is talking about taking things, then I have to say something. When Zhang Xuanzheng killed those two heretical cultivators, he should have seen that their mana had weakened, and they did not have many magic tools left. This was because they had fought with my Senior Brother Chu Gong, and then fled in defeat. Zhang Xuanzheng only picked up a bargain at the end. Shouldn't these things be returned to us?"
Zhang Yu wasn't in the mood to argue with the two of them. As long as he didn't agree, the other party would be able to come up with a thousand reasons. As for saying that he had taken advantage of them, that was also biased.
In fact, he didn't see anyone chasing after them until he left. It could be said that if it wasn't for him, the two of them would have escaped long ago. How could there be any loot?
Not only that, the two evil cultivators seemed to have been released on purpose. This made him even more reluctant to hand the item over to this person.
He said indifferently, "If the two of you are done, you may return."
But He and Guan just stood there without moving.
Before they came, they had also thought about what they would do if Zhang Yu did not agree to return it.
At this moment, He Jun said solemnly, "Since Zhang Xuanzheng is unwilling to return it, then we will use the methods of cultivators to resolve this."
He took out a letter from his sleeve and said solemnly, "We challenge Zhang Xuanzheng to a battle. If Zhang Xuanzheng wins, then this matter will be settled. I can guarantee that no one will pursue this matter. If he loses, then please return this item to us."
Zhang Yu glanced at it. He knew that this person still couldn't let go of the fact that Mo Guangchen and Wang Chongjin lost to him, so he wanted to use this matter to get revenge.
He thought for a moment and took the letter, "The two of you may return."
Seeing that he accepted the letter, He and Guan didn't stay any longer. After bowing, they turned and left.
Zhang Yu stood there and glanced at the letter, then threw it on the table. He thought for a moment and said, "Come, invite Fellow Daoist Wan Ming and Fellow Daoist Cao here."
The disciple who was waiting in the corridor said "yes" and turned around to leave.
Meanwhile, at the True Cultivators' encampment, Yu Fuben was still considering whether to accept Daoist Chu's proposal. However, he soon heard that He and Guan had sent a letter to Zhang Yu. He couldn't help but be shocked. He immediately ordered people to invite the two of them to his residence. He then said, "Martial Uncles, this matter …"
He Jun didn't wait for him to speak and interrupted him, "Martial Nephew Yu, you don't have to say anymore. Zhang Xuanzheng has already accepted our challenge. Neither you nor I can change this matter."
Yu Fuben was silent for a moment. He also knew that what the two of them said was the truth. There was no way to stop this matter now. He also felt mentally tired. He tried his best to resolve the conflict between True Cultivators, but the people around him were constantly finding trouble for him. He said, "Martial Uncles, are you confident of winning?"
He Jun said, "We're not being hot-headed. Previously, when we watched this person's battle with Senior Brother Wang, we saw a lot of his moves. Moreover, Junior Brother Chu is willing to lend me the two swords' Bright Luster 'and' Light Pursuit '. This way, we have a much higher chance of winning."
Guan Xuan said, "We also have to let those Xuanxiu know that our Divine Sword Techniques are not something they can easily humiliate."
Yu Fuben said, "Since Martial Uncles have already made up their minds, then I won't say anything more. However, there's one thing. No matter what the outcome is, this matter will end here. We can't continue."
He Jun said, "Of course. After we get the items back, we won't have any dealings with these Xuanxiu."
He spoke as if this was a matter of course, as if he was bound to win this battle.
However, this wasn't because he was arrogant, but because of the martial arts he cultivated. If he didn't even have confidence in himself before the battle, then there was no need for him to fight this battle.
Yu Fu thought for a moment, then took out a sword-shaped jade mirror from his sleeve and presented it to He Jun. He said, "Martial Uncle He, why don't you take this treasure?"
He Jun was stunned. He said, "The Mirror of All Returns?" He looked at Yu Fu. "This is the protective item that Senior Brother Wang gave me."
Yu Fu said, "I won't be able to use this item for the next few days. Martial Uncle, please take it. If you can win, then it's best."
He Jun didn't argue. He immediately put the transcendent artifact into his sleeve and clasped his hands. "Then I'll have to thank you, Martial Nephew."
After discussing this matter, He Jun and Guan Xuan retreated from Yu Fu's residence. They then flew outwards together, landing on a sand dune in the wilderness.
He Jun looked at Lin and Chu, who were already waiting there, and said solemnly, "Junior Brother Chu, Senior Brother Lin, and Junior Brother Guan, in order to win this battle, I'll need your help."
Daoist Lin said solemnly, "Since Junior Brother He has already made his decision, then it's only right that we help you. However, whether or not Junior Brother He can defeat us will still depend on Junior Brother He himself."
He Jun looked at Daoist Chu and said, "Junior Brother Chu, in order to defeat the three of you, I'll need to take advantage of you a little. I'll borrow 'Chasing Light' and 'Bright Luster' to use."
Daoist Chu said, "What are you talking about? If Senior Brother can win, then it'll be our victory." He extended a finger, and two sharp lights flew out.
With a thought, He Jun used his sect's mantra to communicate with the two swords. In an instant, the two sharp lights turned into two flying swords and descended. They hovered behind him for a while, then stopped moving. He then looked at the three of them and said, "I've already made my preparations."
At this moment, Guan Xuan looked left and right, then walked out. He held his sword and bowed. He said, "Then let me fight Senior Brother first."
Daoist Lin said, "Then Junior Brother Chu and I will wait for the two of you in the distance." With that, he and Daoist Chu flew into the distance.
Seeing the two of them leave, Guan Xuan looked at He Jun with a sharp gaze. He said, "Senior Brother He, for this battle, I'll use all my skills. Senior Brother, please don't lose."
He Jun said solemnly, "Junior Brother, go ahead. If I can't defeat you with two swords, then how can I talk about fighting Zhang Yu the day after tomorrow?"
Guan Xuan nodded and unsheathed his sword. He said, "Senior Brother, please."
He Jun gestured with his hand and said, "Junior Brother, please."
The reason why he wanted to fight with Guan Xuan was because he cultivated a divine ability called 'Experience Conquering the Heavens'. As long as the user of the divine ability believed that he could win, then his magic power would increase by a few points.
Not only that, during the transformation of this divine ability, every time the user won, then his magic power would increase by a notch. If he had the power of several victories, then it was possible to double the power of his magic power and divine ability before the battle.
Therefore, he wanted his three fellow disciples to help him sharpen his swords, so that he could reach his strongest state before the battle.
However, his opponents could not admit defeat on purpose and had to use all their skills. This was also why He Jun wanted to borrow the two swords' Bright Luster 'and' Light Pursuit '. The three of them were of similar cultivation and there was not much difference in their strength. However, with these two swords, his chances of winning were greatly increased.
At this moment, Guan Xuan did not say anything more. If He Jun was defeated in this battle, then the person who lost would take his place in the battle against Zhang Yu. Therefore, he did not stand on ceremony. He immediately took out a sword technique and summoned his flying sword.
After Chu and Lin had gone far away, they waited there. After a while, the two of them saw the sword light soar up, followed by a sword-shaped jade mirror.
Daoist Lin said in surprise, "The Mirror of All Returns? So Martial Nephew Yu has lent this item to Junior Martial Brother He Jun. From the looks of it, his chances of winning are higher. "
Daoist Chu also agreed. This item was divided into two sides, Yin and Yang. The Yang side was specialized in defense, while the Yin side could reflect the offensive divine abilities of the same sect's swords and release them during battle. Even though each divine ability could only be used once, it was still very powerful.
Moreover, this was something that their Eldest Senior Martial Brother had given to Yu Fu for self-defense. There should be an offensive technique left behind by their Eldest Senior Martial Brother inside. From the looks of it, not only was his chances of winning higher, he could even be said to have no chance of losing.
After about half an hour, the two of them saw the sword light in the distance disappear. Daoist Lin said, "Looks like the outcome has been decided. Junior Martial Brother He cannot rest for too long in between his divine abilities. Junior Martial Brother Chu, let me fight Junior Martial Brother He first. If Junior Martial Brother He wins again, then you can go."
Daoist Chu said, "Alright, I'll go last."
Daoist Lin nodded and flew away.
After waiting for half an hour, Daoist Chu suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and saw an illusory figure standing there. Shocked, he said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Gongsun Min, why are you here?"
Gongsun Min smiled and said, "I'm here to increase your chances of winning." He waved his sleeve and several items floated over. "This is the Thunderbolt Bead. It has great power. Why don't you take it?"
Daoist Chu reached out and caught it. When he looked again, he realized that Gongsun Min had already disappeared. He looked at the items in his hand and hesitated.
To be honest, he only wanted to win this battle and end this matter. However, if something unexpected really happened, he would definitely be implicated. Therefore, he couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, the sword light in the distance suddenly fell. He knew that the outcome of the battle had been decided. After thinking for a while, he put the items in his sleeve and rushed over.
