In less than two hours, while many disciples of the Qinglan Holy Palace were worried and gloating, Xiao Chen had returned.
"Hey, Senior Brother, isn't, isn't that Xiao Chen?" At the main gate of the Qinglan Holy Palace, a disciple lazily leaned against a stone pillar beside the gate. His face suddenly changed and his eyes widened. He patted the disciple beside him and exclaimed.
Hearing this, the disciple followed his gaze and his face also changed. His eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "It really, really is Xiao Chen. How, how did he come back? Even if the Zhang Family invited him for tea, it shouldn't be so fast. "
Shocked, the disciple hurriedly rushed into the gate and shouted that Xiao Chen had returned. Hearing this, the disciples' faces changed and they rushed out of the dormitory.
"Xiao Chen is back?" In the main hall, the smug smile on the face of Jiang Ming, who was gloating over Xiao Chen's death, suddenly stiffened.
"What's going on? Xiao Chen, that bastard, went out for less than an hour, how did he come back? "Jiang Ming was furious and he couldn't believe all the guesses in his heart.
Liu Wen, Wang Jian and the other disciples looked at each other and saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen really has some skills, but what's going on?" Zhao Yuxi praised in his heart and frowned slightly. He was also secretly puzzled.
"Great! He's fine. " Miao Cuiling was extremely nervous when Xiao Chen followed the Zhang Family guards down the mountain. Now that she heard that Xiao Chen had returned, she was relieved.
After being stunned for a moment, Jiang Ming and the others rushed out of the main hall with confusion and shock. At this moment, Xiao Chen had just entered the main gate and was slowly walking towards the square. His face was still cold and indifferent.
Many disciples in the square, including Jiang Ming, were dumbfounded as they stared at Xiao Chen. At first, there was a moment of silence, but soon, there was a sudden uproar.
"This stinking brat actually came back safely. Didn't Senior Brother Jiang say that it was foolproof? Damn it! " Liu Wen's face was extremely gloomy as he glared at Xiao Chen. Liu Wen gritted his teeth and furiously said. Shifting his gaze, he discovered that Jiang Ming's face was similarly gloomy. It was clear that Jiang Ming had not expected this either.
"Did Liu Ruoqing fail? Useless trash, you can't even deal with a late stage Profound Sage! Jiang Ming was furious, and his face twitched violently.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, you're really something. You actually came back so quickly!"
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, good job. Even the Zhang Clan can't do anything to you."
Many disciples burst into an uproar, cursing, and cheering. However, the fact that Xiao Chen could return so quickly and safely made many disciples secretly wonder if there was someone behind him. Of course, the disciples who knew the truth were excluded.
Liu Wen, Wang Jian, and the other followers of Jiang Ming naturally knew that it was not someone from the Zhang Clan who had come to invite Xiao Chen. However, the fact that Xiao Chen could return as if nothing had happened made them secretly curious, and they had all kinds of guesses.
"Junior Brother Xiao Chen, are you alright?" Recovering from the shock, Zhao Yuxi slightly frowned and hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen slightly shook his head and smiled indifferently. "I'm fine. That wasn't a guard of the Zhang Clan. He was an imposter. After I saw through him, he wanted to kill me to silence me, but I managed to escape."
Zhao Yuxi's face changed and was filled with astonishment. Soon after, she frowned and asked, "An imposter? Who could it be? Who wants to deal with you? "
Shrugging his shoulders, Xiao Chen slightly shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Master, this matter is definitely related to Liu Ruoqing!" The divine sword transmitted.
Xiao Chen secretly nodded his head. Not long ago, he had a conflict with Liu Ruoqing. Now, someone was impersonating someone from the Zhang Clan to lure Xiao Chen out. Other than Jiang Ming and a few others, Xiao Chen's only enemy was Liu Ruoqing. Thus, it was not difficult to guess that Liu Ruoqing was the one behind this.
After a simple conversation, Xiao Chen returned to his residence.
Looking at Xiao Chen's cold back, Jiang Ming slightly frowned and guessed, "With Yang Hong and the rest's strength, dealing with Xiao Chen is more than enough. Not to mention the three of them, just one of them is enough to kill Xiao Chen. Could it be the person behind him?"
Other than guessing that it was the person behind Xiao Chen, Jiang Ming could not think of any other possibility.
After Xiao Chen left, a touch of sadness appeared on her beautiful face. Her lips squirmed a few times as if she wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she did not have the courage and a bitter smile appeared on her face. Helpless, Miao Cuiling could only return to her residence.
Before he had enough strength and evidence, Xiao Chen was too lazy to deal with this matter. Even if he had evidence, Xiao Chen did not have the strength to deal with it. Thus, he simply returned to his residence and continued to cultivate.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, after the disciples dispersed, Jiang Ming went down the mountain with a heart full of anger. He wanted to go to the Zhang Clan!
"He wants to go to the Zhang Clan? It seems that Xiao Chen's safe return made him uncomfortable. He wants to use the Zhang Clan to deal with Junior Brother Xiao Chen. Jiang Ming, you have miscalculated. " Somewhere in the plaza, Zhao Yuxi saw Jiang Ming angrily rushing down the mountain. A smile appeared on her face as she thought to herself.
..
In the Zhang Clan, Jiang Ming barged into the Zhang Clan residence with a heart full of anger. The guards of the Zhang Clan were so scared that they did not dare to look at him, let alone stop him.
Jiang Ming directly headed towards Liu Ruoqing's residence. The latter was currently lazily sipping on some tea. When he saw Jiang Ming directly push open the door and enter, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. However, before he could open his mouth, Jiang Ming's words immediately caused his expression to change drastically.
"Liu Ruoqing, don't you think you owe me an explanation for Xiao Chen's safe return to the Qinglan Holy Palace?" Jiang Ming went straight to the point, his face livid.
"Returned safely?" Hearing this, the teacup in his hand paused. With a face full of shock, Liu Ruoqing stood up and said, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible. The people I bribed had already led Xiao Chen to Wufeng Cliff. Yang Hong also sent me a message saying that he would definitely kill Xiao Chen. How could he let Xiao Chen return safely? A mere late Profound Sage. With Yang Hong's strength, not to mention one Xiao Chen, even ten of him would not be enough to kill! "
"Brainless trash!" Cursing in his heart, the flesh on his face twitched. Glaring angrily at Liu Ruoqing, Jiang Ming said in a deep voice, "The three of them should have been able to deal with a late Profound Sage long ago. It has already been four hours. Did Yang Hong and the others send you a message?"
Liu Ruoqing's face suddenly changed, as if he had only just reacted. Stiffening for a moment, he deeply furrowed his brows. Gritting his teeth, he said angrily, "Did they really fail? What is going on? "
Glaring at Liu Ruoqing with eyes full of anger, Jiang Ming said indifferently, "I don't know if they failed or not. I only know that Xiao Chen is now in the Qinglan Saint Palace, and he came back in less than two hours!"
"Brother Jiang, don't worry. When Yang Hong sent me a message, I had already sent the guards out. They should be back soon …" Seeing Jiang Ming's cold and angry appearance, Liu Ruoqing bitterly smiled and said with difficulty, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. When Yang Hong sent me a message, I had already sent the guards out. They should be back soon …"
A guard quickly came and respectfully reported, "Reporting to Young Master, the corpses of Yang Hong and the others were found at Wufeng Cliff!"
"This, how is this possible? Yang Hong and the others were killed? " Liu Ruoqing's face stiffened for a long time before he sat down abruptly. His face was full of shock, he could not believe it.
"As expected!" Jiang Ming's gloomy face became even more serious. Narrowing his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said angrily. After knowing the truth, he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
The guard hesitated for a moment as he glanced at the stunned Liu Ruoqing. Soon after, he continued, "Young master, from the looks of his injuries, Liu Ran's arm was shattered when he was fighting with someone. There is only a single wound on his body. Therefore, his Yuan Spirit should have been shattered by the enemy's strength at the same time his arm was shattered."
"Killed with a palm?" Liu Ruoqing and Jiang Ming's face changed at the same time.
"Yes." Nodding his head, the guard said respectfully, "Yang Hong and Li Xiao were killed by the enemy twice."
"Yang Hong and Li Xiao are middle stage Holy Spirits. Their strength far surpasses Xiao Chen's. How could they be killed by two attacks?" Liu Ruoqing's heart was shaken again. He could not believe it.
Liu Ruoqing was an early stage Holy King. He was very clear about the strength of a middle stage Holy Spirit. Not to mention that Xiao Chen was only a late stage Profound Sage, even a middle stage Holy Spirit would not be able to kill Yang Hong in two moves. Not to mention that Li Xiao was also a middle stage Holy Spirit. .
Liu Ruoqing took a sip of tea and calmed himself down. Looking at the equally shocked Jiang Ming, Liu Ruoqing asked, "Brother Jiang, is Xiao Chen really a late stage Profound Sage?"
Shaking his head slightly stiffly, Jiang Ming said, "I don't know. That bastard's cultivation talent is very terrifying. Moreover, Xiao Chen has been hiding his cultivation. I don't know his exact cultivation. But when he fought with Junior Brother Wang Jian last time, I was absolutely sure that he was a late stage Profound Sage. It's just that a month has passed, and I don't dare to say whether he has broken through or not …"
"No matter how terrifying his cultivation talent is, it has only been a month since the competition at the gate. How could Xiao Chen have the strength to kill Yang Hong and Li Xiao in two moves? In a short month, he really broke through from the late stage Profound Sage to the middle stage Holy Spirit? "Liu Ruoqing said in disbelief as he let out a deep breath.
To break through from the late stage Profound Sage to the middle stage Holy Spirit in a month, such a terrifying cultivation speed was impossible even for the geniuses of super forces. How could Liu Ruoqing believe it?
"I also don't believe that Xiao Chen has such a terrifying cultivation speed. However, there is another possibility. The person behind Xiao Chen made a move. With Xiao Chen's strength, even if he broke through, it would be impossible for him to kill Yang Hong and Li Xiao by himself." Taking a deep breath and suppressing the shock in his heart, Jiang Ming guessed.
Although his words were somewhat forced, Jiang Ming was still worried that Xiao Chen had really broken through to the middle stage Holy Spirit. This didn't mean that Jiang Ming wasn't Xiao Chen's opponent, but that Xiao Chen's terrifying cultivation speed would surpass Jiang Ming sooner or later. For the first time, Jiang Ming felt a sense of crisis and dread.
Liu Ruoqing's face turned gloomy, and his flesh twitched violently. Looking at Jiang Ming with a fierce gaze, he said angrily, "Damn it! If we fail this time, it won't be so easy to lure him out again! "
