Chu Xuan? Chu Xuan!
In Wei Ji's heart, Chu Xuan was the one and only Nascent Soul cultivator in this world. During the Mystic Azure battle, Chu Xuan single-handedly defeated Zhao Kai and the other cultivators from the Feather Transformation Heaven Palace. Even the dragon puppet that Zhao Kai had summoned was casually taken by Chu Xuan.
What followed in the Heavenly Infinite Sect only deepened Wei Ji's fear and awe toward Chu Xuan. Even now, when he thought about the new sect regulations that Chu Xuan had introduced to "push" disciples to grow, his spine still tingled with discomfort.
When they arrived at the Heavenly Metal Battlefield, after being ambushed by righteous cultivators in Heaven-Six City, they lost contact with Chu Xuan. At first, Wei Ji had assumed that Chu Xuan, being so powerful, would surely escape and that they might meet him again someday. But as time passed and he never saw Chu Xuan's figure, he gradually began to forget about him.
Now, hearing Shang Xingchen mention his name, Wei Ji's heart suddenly leapt into his throat.
"Are you sure? Is it really him?" Wei Ji's voice trembled with uncertainty.
Shang Xingchen stroked his chin, his eyes squinting as he studied the figure from afar. "Yes, it's him... Wait, no... It doesn't quite seem like him..."
Wei Ji felt his emotions surge dramatically, almost choking on the confusion and uncertainty. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
"Could you please speak clearly?" Wei Ji gritted his teeth, struggling to keep calm.
Shang Xingchen smiled faintly. "It's too far. I can't make out the details clearly."
He paused, then added, "But after thinking about it, I don't think it's Chu Xuan. It's probably just someone who looks like him."
Wei Ji froze. "Why do you think that?"
Shang Xingchen casually answered, "If it were really Chu Xuan, and he saw the situation unfolding here, do you think he'd reveal himself so easily? Do you think he'd let us spot him?"
Wei Ji took a moment to think. "No, he'd stay hidden, waiting for the perfect moment to strike."
"Exactly," Shang Xingchen continued. "Someone who can't hold back and jumps right into the fray like this is definitely not Chu Xuan."
With a grin, Shang Xingchen added, "Actually, it's quite easy to test if someone's really Chu Xuan."
Wei Ji blinked in confusion. "Easy?"
Shang Xingchen smiled knowingly. "Yes, wait for him to make a move."
Wei Ji thought about it and nodded. He realized Shang Xingchen was right. After all, they'd fought alongside Chu Xuan before and knew his methods. If Chu Xuan had his eye on this large spiritual stone mine, he would undoubtedly take action.
As long as they saw someone using Chu Xuan's familiar techniques, they'd be able to confirm with certainty that it was him.
At this moment, Wei Ji's emotions were conflicted. On one hand, he looked forward to Chu Xuan's appearance. After all, the three of them were all cultivators from the Heavenly Infinite Sect, which meant they knew each other well and would be more suited to working together.
On the other hand, he was reluctant for Chu Xuan to show up. With Chu Xuan's strength and abilities, if he realized what was happening in the battle, it was likely that... the large spiritual stone mine would no longer be theirs.
