As soon as Ling Kaihua heard this, he immediately cursed before turning around: "Which guy who is not afraid of death wants to challenge Brother Jiang's authority? You don't need Brother Jiang to do anything, I want you to see it."
As he said that, he turned around, wanting to see who would dare to throw cold water at this moment. Ling Kaihua has also made some breakthroughs in cultivation recently, reaching the seventh level of the innate realm. This strength can be regarded as relatively outstanding in the entire Zixiao Mountain. As his strength increased, so did his self-confidence. He now has the confidence to say such things.
However, when he turned around and saw the person coming, it was as if he had seen a ghost in broad daylight. He was suddenly startled and backed up again and again, his body lost his balance suddenly, and he fell to the ground.
A martial artist at the seventh level of the Innate Realm has practiced all the year round, as long as he has a little reaction ability, he will not fall like this for no reason, which shows the extent of the horror in Ling Kaihua's heart at this time.
"Lu Chen, you, you, are you still alive?" Ling Kaihua exclaimed.
It was Lu Chen who came, and he had just returned to Zixiao Mountain when he saw this grand occasion in the mountain.
But now he is in a rather embarrassing situation. Because he was chased very urgently by the pursuer who cultivated the heart demon and poison, he exhausted all his strength and escaped at any cost. He flew nearly 100,000 miles all the way to escape Chaser.
Such an escape regardless of the cost naturally caused him a lot of pain, and now his internal injuries have not yet healed.
Even with the healing ability of his current Qingmu Dafa, he could not recover his body. From this, it can be seen how serious the injury he suffered and how much wear and tear he suffered. Of course, Nie Tianli was also in the same embarrassment as him.
Now that Chase Lu returned to Nebula Sect, he knew that although he needed to rest, the actual situation would definitely not allow him to rest. A lot of people would definitely come to ask about the fairy artifact, and this matter could not be explained clearly in a few words.
Before the matter of the fairy artifact was mentioned, Ling Kaihua was talking nonsense here, and Lu Chen had long been displeased with this person.
As soon as Ling Kaihua saw Lu Chen, although Lu Chen looked very embarrassed, even if the tiger lost its teeth, it was enough to frighten Xiao Xiao. In front of the power that Lu Chen had cultivated in the past two or three years, he was like a wolf who saw the real Tigers are bound to be frightened.
"Lu Chen, it's really Lu Chen."
Lu Chen now has disheveled hair and ragged clothes, but once everyone noticed him, they recognized him at a glance.
This time the entire Zixiao Mountain was even more heated, and the atmosphere was much more enthusiastic than when Jiang Tie broke through to the Dongxuan Realm before. Everyone focused on Lu Chen.
Even the inner sect elders rushed over.
Huang Zhengqi was the first to come to Lu Chen, and laughed loudly: "Lu Chen, you are not dead yet, very good, there are rumors that you have been besieged and killed, I know that with your ability, it is not so easy to die."
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Let the elders worry, this trip to the North Sea is indeed hanging by a thread, and it is really not easy for me to come back alive."
Gu Song also said with a smile: "You can come back from Beihai safely, which shows that you are a person with long-term luck. If you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing. This time, you must have no objection to becoming a core disciple."
At this time, another person came suddenly, and said from a distance: "The matter of the core disciples still needs to be discussed, but the matter of the immortal weapon needs to be explained clearly now."
The person who came was Nangong Lingxiao.
When Lu Chen saw Nangong Lingxiao, he couldn't help but sneered: "How does Hallmaster Nangong know that I have a fairy weapon?"
Nangong Lingxiao's face was cold: "It is rumored that everyone is blind?"
"It may not be impossible for the whole world to lie together, not to mention that some people with ulterior motives may be contributing to the incident of the fairy artifact." Lu Chen calmly continued, "This time I met two villains in Beihai, one is Wang Bufeng, The other Liuying is a well-known figure on the villain list. These two people came to chase me after I first arrived in Beihai. What is the reason for this? I have only been in Beihai for two days. Arrived, the news is too well-informed."
"What? Lu Chen, are you sure it's Wang Bufeng and Liu Ying? These two are really wanted fugitives on the villain list for many years. They haven't been caught yet. Could it be that they are lurking in Beihai?" Huang Zhengqi said in surprise.
Nangong Lingxiao also sneered and said: "You yourself have bad luck. When you meet the two of them, do you still want to shift the responsibility to others?"
Lu Chen looked at Nangong Lingxiao calmly. Although he had never seen Nangong Lingxiao's real face in Beihai, he could be sure that the person who sent Wang Bufeng and Liu Ying to hunt him down must be Nangong Lingxiao.
Of course, this is just intuition, and perception alone cannot be absolutely correct, but apart from Nangong Lingxiao, who would put so much effort to kill him?
Although Lu Chen is sure that all of this was done by Nangong Lingxiao, there is no evidence. That is to say, Nangong Lingxiao cannot be brought down for the time being, and he may suffer from Nangong Lingxiao's conspiracy in the future.
Originally, Lu Chen planned to leave the Xingyun Sect and completely get rid of the pursuit of the Nangong family, but later he thought that if he left in this way, he might be directly recognized as a defector. In this way, Nangong Lingxiao would have a reason to pursue and kill him openly. At that time, the power of the entire Azure Dragon Hall, and even the power of Taiyuanzong will definitely be mobilized to jointly hunt him down. In that case, the situation will be very bad.
Unless he had to, Lu Chen would not announce his departure from the Nebula Sect. What's more, the current situation is actually developing in a favorable direction for Lu Chen. At least he has established a certain prestige in the sect. Now even the entire Nebula Sect, regardless of No matter how you feel about Lu Chen, you dare not ignore his existence. More importantly, Huang Zhengqi and other inner sect elders also intend to vigorously promote Lu Chen.
"Even if my luck is not good, why would I be hunted down again and again when I met Wang Bufeng and Wang Bufeng? If Wang Bufeng and Liu Ying were really hiding in Beihai, there wouldn't be any rumors," Lu Chen said.
Of course, this was for Huang Zhengqi.
"Lu Chen, do you suspect that there are traitors in our sect?" Huang Zhengqi asked suddenly with a solemn expression.
"I have no doubts, I just told Elder Huang about such a thing, what does Elder Huang think about this matter?" Lu Chen said lightly.
Nangong Lingxiao snorted, and said with a sneer: "Boy, don't try to divert everyone's attention. You should explain clearly about the fairy artifact first. Now the whole world is asking for information about you. We need to give an explanation to everyone in the world. .”
"Yes, the whole world is waiting for your news, and I hope our Nebula Sect will give you an answer immediately." At this time, several inner sect elders responded.
Several elders of Qinglongtang even asked Lu Chen to hand over the fairy artifact immediately in a very stern tone.
Now almost the elders of the inner sect of the entire sect have heard the news. This is not to say that Lu Chen himself can receive so much attention. The most direct reason is that Lu Chen may have a fairy weapon on him. You must know something like a fairy weapon It can greatly enhance the strength of the sect, and its role is no less than that of a super master in the Yuanshen realm, so it will naturally attract extra attention.
Facing many inner sect elders, Lu Chen remained calm and calm, and said: "Even if I have a fairy weapon, it is mine. I am willing to hand it over to the sect. That is my freedom. What do you have to order me to do so? What's more, even if the fairy artifact is handed over to the sect, it is also a matter of our Nebula Sect, so why should we give an explanation to others? What a joke."
This sentence was directly aimed at Nangong Lingxiao.
Nangong Lingxiao's face changed slightly, and he was extremely annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. Although Lu Chen's words were a bit far-fetched, there were no loopholes in the logic of the language, so it was difficult to refute.
At this time, another voice came: "Lu Chen, you are still an elite disciple, you should make contributions to the sect, and you should turn in the fairy artifact, not to mention your performance in Beihai, everyone has seen it, what have you accomplished? No mission? I stayed in the Beihai station for a few days, and I disappeared without a trace. It took me almost a year to come back. This mission will count as your failure. The sect does not punish you for your failure. "
It was a woman with a clear voice who spoke.
"It's actually Tang Xiuyi, doesn't she never go out?"
"Senior Sister Tang has been in seclusion for two years, and broke through to the Dongxuan Realm in one fell swoop. Now she is a core disciple. Core disciples must participate in the sect's affairs, so can they ignore everything?"
When everyone saw Tang Xiuyi's appearance, they also talked about it.
Tang Xiuyi, as the daughter of the headmaster of the Xuanwu Hall, has always attracted much attention. Just a few months ago, she also broke through to the Dongxuan Realm. However, she broke through to the Profound Cave Realm, which was the least unexpected in the eyes of everyone. After all, her father is the head of the Xuanwu Hall, so there is no shortage of resources, and her own talent is also excellent.
Such a beautiful genius has always been a hot topic in the sect, but she has not been able to retreat in the past two years, coupled with the strong rise of Lu Chen, Jiang Tie, Nangongxuan and others, she has gradually faded out of everyone's sight. This beautiful genius suddenly came to trouble Lu Chen.
Jiang Tie roared angrily: "Lu Chen, treasures like fairy artifacts are not something you can use now, even if you hold fairy artifacts, it won't increase your strength much, don't you think that relying on fairy artifacts is enough Can you suppress me?"
Lu Chen laughed dumbly: "How can you be brave when you are defeated?"
Jiang Tie was furious, his face turned red and he said, "Lu Chen, I'm going to duel with you now." In front of the entire sect's senior management and all the elite disciples, Jiang Tie couldn't bear such ridicule, and rushed towards Lu Chen, It turned out to be in front of so many people.
"Get off!" Huang Zhengqi yelled loudly, his voice was like thunder, and Jiang Tie's ears were buzzing, and his body stopped involuntarily.
"Jiang Tie, don't think that just because you become a core disciple, you can ignore the school rules." Huang Zhengqi warned.
Jiang Tie looked at Lu Chen angrily, and said: "Lu Chen, three days later, we will have a duel in the Zixiao Mountain Martial Arts Field. If you dare not come, you are a bitch."
Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the sky: "I'm really not interested."
"Don't dare? After all, you still don't have the guts." Jiang Tie planned to provoke Lu Chen.
Lu Chen simply put his hands behind his back and ignored it.
Facing the gazes of so many inner sect elders and some invisible pressure from Qinglongtang, Lu Chen was able to remain calm and calm. No matter how Jiang Tie threatened him, it would be irrelevant.
In the eyes of some elders, Lu Chen's performance during the whole process can be regarded as very elegant, calm in speech, stable as Mount Tai, neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither arrogant nor humble, it can be said that he behaved very well. decent.
