Chapter 386 Ch 386: A Treacherous Oath

After Ling Xiaolong left, Feng Hanli slowly walked and stopped in front of the golden-robed man, Elder Fan.

Elder Fan stared at Feng Hanli coldly, struggling to get up and give him a blow.

Feng Hanli sighed and spoke with a perplexed expression, "Sir, is there perhaps a misunderstanding? We came here with the intention of requesting a meeting with the Sect Leader to seek assistance. That's the sole reason for our presence. However, you unexpectedly initiated an attack on us."

Elder Fan sneered. He said coldly, "I am not an idiot, I'll not be deceived by your reasons. In my opinion, you are the same as the previous groups of people who pretended to meet our Sect Leader just to gather information about Lord Celestial Emperor in order to obtain the reward from the Profound Star Sect."

"Investigate information about Lord Celestial Emperor? What's wrong with the Lord Celestial Emperor?"

Feng Hanli was stunned.

Elder Fan was a little puzzled when he saw Feng Hanli's expression. He could tell that Feng Hanli's expression wasn't fake.

Could he really not be one of those people? This chapter was originally shared via N0v3l_Biin.

Feng Hanli was quick-witted. He hurriedly said, "Although I don't know what happened to your esteemed sect, I can guess from your words that someone must have come to cause trouble."

"As for the Lord Celestial Emperor, isn't he about to break through and become the Master of Chaos?"

Elder Fan and the two guards frowned when they heard Feng Hanli's words.

Feng Hanli also realized his mistake.

Elder Fan had just pointed fingers at them, saying that they'd come here to investigate the situation of Lord Celestial Emperor. And now, Feng Hanli was asking about the Lord Celestial Emperor.

His actions indirectly confirmed the fact that Elder Fan was right to suspect them.

Realizing this mistake, Feng Hanli hurriedly spoke, "I'm sorry for asking about Lord Celestial Emperor, but that was not my intention. Just ignore my earlier words, you don't need to tell me anything."

After saying this, he hurriedly spoke out the purpose of their visit, "Today, we came here because we heard your sect had a treasure called Saint Spirit Fruit. Master Ling needs that fruit, so he came here to request for this treasure. We know that this is a sensitive matter which cannot be decided by anyone except the sect leader. That is the reason we requested to meet the Sect Leader. We just didn't expect you all to attack all of a sudden."

In his words, Feng Hanli not only pointed out the fact that Elder Fan attacked them, he also pointed at the guards who didn't listen to them and attacked.

The two guards also realized that they must have misunderstood as well. Maybe, Feng Hanli is right. He and his group might have really come here for the Saint Spirit Fruit instead of gathering information about Lord Celestial Emperor.

So, they hurriedly apologized.

"Sect Leader, what do you think?"

Elder Fan could be seen standing in front of an imposing old man with a long white beard. Beside him, several elders were present, deeply frowning.

The old man with a long white beard was the Sect Leader of the Divine Monarch Sect.

It was clear that Elder Fan had explained the situation upon returning. Although he took Feng Hanli and Lu Tianming as guests, he did not completely trust them.

Who knows if they've come here with different reasons to cause trouble once again?

"Our sect is in dire straits. Every step we take must be out of extreme caution. We can not let any mishap occur." The Sect Leader thought for a while and then continued, "It is not much of a matter to let those people in, but we must keep an eye on them."

"Also, the strongest one who defeated you is not here, so it is unlikely for those two weak ones to do anything suspicious, at least not until he comes back."

"No matter the truth, we must watch them closely."

Hearing the Sect Leader's words, everyone nodded their heads in agreement. They knew the Sect Leader was right. The current situation of the sect is not good. It is mainly because their strongest fighting force has entered close-door seclusion.

The Divine Monarch Sect's fighting power is weak at present. The Profound Star Sect could deal with many harms if they are not cautious.

"Sect Leader's words are wise. We must be extremely cautious!"

Each elder concurred with the words of the Sect Leader.

Elder Fan hesitated at this moment and finally decided to speak something that in itself looked wrong in every possible way. However, he had no choice but to speak and make things clear so that the Sect Leader could make a more thorough decision.

He said, "Sect Leader, actually, the person who defeated me seemed to be at the First Stage of Celestial Awakening Realm. He was the weakest in that group of three."

"What?"

It was not just the Sect Leader, but all the elders present were shocked. They abruptly stood up and suspiciously looked at Elder Fan.

Elder Fan could understand their feelings. He sighed and explained, "To be honest, if not for experiencing everything in person, even I would not have believed that. The truth is exactly as I said. That person was just a warrior at the First Stage of Celestial Awakening Realm. However, his battle prowess was something I could never imagine."

"At first, he was able to fight me head-on without getting defeated. It was the same for the two of us. Neither of us had the strength to defeat the other. I don't know what exactly happened in between, he suddenly erupted with a monstrous strength. Even after activating my bloodline, I was barely able to block his attacks."

"If he had not stopped in time, I would have died right there."

"Sect Leader, believe me, believe my words. I swear upon the Grand Dao of Chaos, if my words are wrong, let me meet my doom!"

In order to make everyone believe his words, he swore a treacherous oath that could immediately lead him to his doom if even a single word of his was incorrect.
