Sword Conference
After sealing off the Wanjian Sect's formation, three of its members were killed. This caused everyone in the Wanjian Sect to gather on the mountain peak in a state of panic.
On the mountain peak, everyone was on high alert and distanced themselves from the people around them. There were even people who were familiar with each other who stood back to back …
"At that time, Wan Yong was standing beside me. When the two of us heard Hou Feng's scream, he was already dead. However, when I took a few steps forward, Wan Yong collapsed in a pool of blood. This assassin is like a ghost!"
"There were Dao Integration Stage cultivators on the mountain peak. Their divine senses covered the entire mountain peak, but Leng Yan was still killed in a single blow …"
"The sect's formation hasn't been opened yet. That assassin must still be in the sect. What if he attacks again?"
…
The Wanjian Sect's Sect Leader and many of the Elders wore uncertain expressions. No one expected that three members of the Wanjian Sect would be assassinated after sealing off the sect!
Just as everyone had said, the assassin was still in the Wanjian Sect.
The Wanjian Sect's Sect Leader said in a low voice, "Investigate the entire Wanjian Sect. Everyone must stay in their cave abodes and wait for investigation.
"Record everyone's names. I don't care if this assassin is from the Dark Star Organization. Dig him out!"
Everyone in the Wanjian Sect felt insecure. No one even dared to walk alone. They all gathered in groups and headed to their respective cave abodes.
The assassin who had assassinated the five sects these days gradually gained a new nickname from the rumors: Specter.
They came and went without a trace. They killed without leaving a trace. They were known as specters!
…
Who would have thought that Long Chen would actually be in the Wanjian Sect, in the residence of Ye Hailan, the Holy Maiden of the Five Sects?
The fragrance of tea permeated the air. The Purple Bamboo Pavilion was quite charming.
Ye Hailan stared at Long Chen. His long sleeves fluttered in the wind as clear water from the tea party poured into a teacup. He pushed the teacup in front of Long Chen and frowned slightly. "Are you saying that you were the one who killed the people from the five major sects?"
Ye Hailan's words carried a hint of suspicion. This was understandable. After all, Long Chen was only at the Early Divine Transformation Stage. Although he had defeated Zhang Yishan, who was at the Return to Void Stage, on the Tongbi Gate Battle Stage, he had relied on formations and not actual combat strength.
As for the assassins who had thrown the five great sects into chaos these past few days, almost all of them had been personal disciples.
She had even heard that three disciples of the Wanjian Sect had died unnatural deaths in front of everyone when she had sent away the two maids who had delivered the meal …
Long Chen saw Ye Hailan's suspicion but did not explain. He only said indifferently, "Wan Yong, Hou Feng, and Leng Yan. Have you heard of these three people? They are all disciples of the Wanjian Sect."
Ye Hailan frowned slightly when she heard the names of these three people. She said in a low voice, "These three people are definitely not good people, especially Leng Yan. It is said that his Manic Sword Intent was cultivated by killing countless people. It is a pity that the entire village turned into a huge fire and completely disappeared. This matter was left unsettled."
"The other two people are probably the same. You are not just saying that they should be killed. However, aren't you afraid that I will spread the news that you are here? If that happens, no one will be able to protect you?" Ye Hailan's beautiful face revealed a mischievous smile.
Long Chen stared into Ye Hailan's eyes and replied with a smile, "Would you send me, a person who should not be killed, to death for a few people who should be killed?"
He knew Ye Hailan very well. Since he dared to come here directly and told her about this matter, he had absolute confidence that she would not report it to the Wanjian Sect …
Ye Hailan did not have much of a sense of belonging to the five great sects and did not care much about those who should be killed. This was why she and Long Chen had similar personalities.
As expected, Ye Hailan did not answer. Instead, she changed the topic and asked, "Where is the second half of the stone wall?"
"It is in the Fire Seed Secret Realm. I can help you obtain it."
Long Chen's words stunned Ye Hailan. She said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to participate in the Fire Seed Secret Realm? Once you enter, you will definitely die if you encounter the Jue Wuqing."
Long Chen smiled and said, "It's not time yet. How do you know that I will be the one to die and not him?"
Long Chen did not wait for Ye Hailan's reply. He reached out and removed the waist token from his waist. It contained the points of the personal disciples he killed.
These points were enough to exchange for the three stalks of elixirs!
This was another reason why he came here. Although he killed a few personal disciples, the loss of their waist tokens would naturally attract attention.
There were only a few people in the five great sects who could use such a large amount of points without arousing suspicion. That was the Holy Maiden of the five great sects, Ye Hailan, and a few other disciples of the five great sects.
Only the Holy Maiden of the five great sects, Ye Hailan, could obtain elixirs from other sects.
"There are three elixirs in the Hundred Smelting Sect's Elixir Pavilion. I hope you can help me obtain them. These three items are very important to me." Long Chen said to Ye Hailan.
Ye Hailan stared at the waist token in Long Chen's hand. After a while, she took it and transferred all the points to the jade token on her waist.
She then said in a low voice, "I helped you this time. Take it as a gift from you for telling me about the stone wall. After today, we don't owe each other anything."
Long Chen smiled and nodded. He did not mind. The two of them would meet again in the Fire Seed Secret Realm.
The Fire Seed Secret Realm was an opportunity for the disciples of the five great sects. It was even more so for Long Chen.
Among them, Long Chen was determined to obtain the Fire Attribute Spiritual Vein.
"You can stay in the side hall of the Purple Bamboo House. You can leave whenever you want." Ye Hailan said indifferently. She then walked up to the second floor of the bamboo house.
Long Chen stayed in the Holy Maiden of the five great sects, Ye Hailan's Purple Bamboo House. If others knew that a man was staying here, the entire five great sects would be in an uproar.
Even Ye Hailan's two personal maids had never stayed in this Purple Bamboo House for a single night …
Ye Hailan allowed Long Chen to stay because she wanted to repay him for helping her find the stone wall. However, she did not realize that she was not against Long Chen staying in the Purple Bamboo House.
She was a clean person. Long Chen's every move in and out of the Purple Bamboo House was very natural.
...
After a thorough investigation by the Wanjian Sect, everyone on the mountain was recorded. However, nothing out of the ordinary was found.
In the following half a month, the sect's spell formation was not activated. Every day, there were several times more elders patrolling the area. Occasionally, there would even be Dao Integration Stage cultivators passing by.
Long Chen had been staying in the Purple Bamboo House for the past few days. Who would have thought that he was only one floor away from the Holy Maiden of the five great sects, Ye Hailan?
During this time, Long Chen did not consume the Essence Ocean Pill or the Fire Phoenix Seven Joints Grass to break through. Instead, he used this half a month to remove all the side effects from using the secret technique and the pill.
At this moment, as long as the sect's spell formation was activated, Long Chen would be able to leave easily.
Early in the morning, a gentle breeze blew past.
Long Chen walked out of the door. Ye Hailan's veil was like a rainbow, and her hair was like a waterfall. She waved the sword in her hand like a fairy dancing …
"This is the Fairy's Green Rainbow Sword. She dances like a fairy, and her sword is like the Green Rainbow Galaxy." Long Chen smiled. He felt a sense of familiarity.
In his previous life, he had sparred with Ye Hailan in the Purple Bamboo House.
