Chapter 64

"I dare you to say that again!" Wang Yin, who was originally sitting leisurely on a chair and listening to a tune, suddenly jumped up from his seat!

This caused a mid-level Martial Master standing in front of him to break out in a cold sweat. He had no choice but to repeat himself: "Elder Lan Hong wants me to tell you that Zhan Chen has returned unharmed!"

"How did he escape from Lin Dong, and how did he break through the heavy encirclement of the Devil Sect?" Wang Yin squinted his eyes as he looked outside the courtyard, at the cloudy sky, and questioned!

Unfortunately, no one would answer the question in his heart.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, but he was a little at a loss. He had schemed many times and plotted against many geniuses, but none of them had succeeded. However, this Zhan Chen, who had a very low status and cultivation, had escaped from his control twice.

"This is definitely a terrifying opponent!" As he said this, his body involuntarily shivered.

However, he then laughed loudly and muttered to himself: "That's right! What am I afraid of? When was it not me who schemed against others? I must think of a way to completely trample this cockroach to death! While he is still not strong enough. "At this point, Wang Yin's eyes flashed fiercely.

The Martial Master standing beside him was so frightened that he fell to the ground on his butt.

Just as Wang Yin was planning, Zhan Chen came to the Flying Cloud Hall and knelt in front of Zhao He. Although Zhao He had already known that Zhan Chen had survived, he was still overjoyed when he saw him in person.

Zhan Chen lowered his head and shouted: "Unfilial disciple, I beg for forgiveness from Master!"

"Quickly get up!" Zhao He hurriedly went forward to help him up. Although this disciple of his had not been with him for a long time, he was the most fond of him. He had worked hard and had basically mastered his alchemy skills. He had long regarded Zhan Chen as his only successor.

After Zhan Chen got up, he said: "I have let Master worry about me. It took me so long to come back to see you."

Zhao He understood him very well and sighed: "I understand that you must have your own difficulties, but you must be prepared. The Sect Leader may look for you?"

"The Sect Leader looks for me?" Zhan Chen was very surprised.

"That's right. You are the only survivor of that secret mission. Elder Li will definitely look for you to ask about the situation."

Zhan Chen agreed with Li Jianshu. What he needed to think about now was how to fabricate a story about his experiences in the past year. Some secrets could not be revealed to Li Jianshu.

"Quickly tell me, how did you spend the past year?" Zhao He asked with concern.

Thus, Zhan Chen began to exaggerate. He told him how the Slayer Team fell into the trap set by the Evil Ghost Sect, how Qian Hu helped them break out, how he escaped, and how he was, how he fell into the sea with severe injuries, and how he was, and how he was. He was, and how he, and how he, and how he, and, Chen fell, and how, and how he was, and how he.

It was very obvious that these words were half-truths. It was not that he did not trust his master, but in the current situation, it was better to be careful.

Zhao He listened to these and sighed. The two of them exchanged a few more greetings and parted.

That night, as expected, Zhan Chen was summoned by Sect Leader Li. He carefully followed an inner sect disciple and arrived at the Lanling Peak. The first thing that entered his eyes was a grand hall. Three golden words were written on it: Lanling Hall.

The size of this hall was more than three times the size of the Flying Cloud Hall that he was familiar with. He thought to himself: 'This is probably the main hall that the inner sect disciples often talk about.'

He was just about to walk inside when he heard the inner sect disciple in front say: "Senior Brother Zhan Chen, the Sect Leader is not here. He is in the courtyard at the back."

Only then did he nod his head awkwardly and followed him to the back of the hall through a small path at the side. There, he saw another two tall buildings. They were the Skill Teaching Pavilion and the Treasury.

Zhan Chen stared at them and a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. The Skill Teaching Pavilion stored the best martial arts of the entire Golden Elephant Sect. Only the Sect Leader and the Grand Elder had the right to announce its opening. The Treasury, on the other hand, stored all the wealth that the Golden Elephant Sect had collected. All the powerful magic treasures, high-grade elixirs, spiritual medicines, and so on were stored there. It was said that any one of the things that was taken out from there could help a martial artist become stronger quickly.

Of course, the Skill Teaching Pavilion and the Treasury were guarded by an elder with a profound cultivation. Normally, they could not be entered.

Zhan Chen could only look at them and continued to follow the disciple to the back. He saw a beautiful courtyard built at the back. In the courtyard, there were spiritual flowers and strange trees. There was a small bridge over the flowing water. It was like a fairyland.

The spiritual Qi inside was abundant. It even formed a spiritual mist that floated in the air and was within reach. He secretly praised in his heart. The treatment of the Sect Leader was indeed different!

He followed the disciple who was leading the way and entered the courtyard. After passing through a small path among the flowers, he saw a pavilion in the distance. There was a man sitting in the pavilion. He seemed to be drinking tea.

At this moment, the disciple who was leading the way turned his head and said to him, "Zhan Chen, go over. Sect Leader Li is waiting for you in front!" Then, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Zhan Chen calmed his emotions down and walked forward slowly. When he arrived at the pavilion, he immediately bowed and said, "Disciple Zhan Chen pays respect to the Sect Leader."

"Mm, you may rise!" A voice said slowly. There was a trace of dignity in the tone.

Zhan Chen then stood up to take a look. What entered his eyes was an extraordinarily handsome middle-aged man. He had sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, prominent cheekbones, thick lips, and an imposing aura. This was the Sect Leader of the Golden Elephant Sect, Li Jianshu, who controlled more than thirty thousand people.

While Zhan Chen was looking at Li Jianshu, Li Jianshu was also sizing up Zhan Chen. In his eyes, Zhan Chen was a handsome young man with a steady and resolute personality. The rarest thing was that he was neither servile nor overbearing, yet he appeared respectful and courteous. That unique temperament left a deep impression on Li Jianshu.

Hence, he asked, "You are Zhan Chen?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why I'm looking for you today?"

"This disciple understands."

"Alright, let's not talk nonsense. Tell me everything that you know and what happened a year ago."

Hence, Zhan Chen repeated the story he told Zhao He in the morning to Li Jianshu.

When he was speaking, Li Jianshu's gaze was fixed on him, giving him a deep sense of oppression. However, Zhan Chen understood in his heart that this was a warning, or even a threat, forcing him to tell the truth.

This caused his heart to beat wildly, but he had to maintain a normal expression on the surface.

Only after he carefully made up the story did Li Jianshu slowly close his eyes. His face revealed a pained expression as he muttered to himself, "Qian Hu, you're really good. Your efforts won't be in vain!"

After a while, he opened his eyes again and said to Zhan Chen, "Zhan Chen, I have a general understanding of the situation. You can go back now."

Zhan Chen nodded as if he was granted amnesty and quickly left the courtyard. Peace was restored in the pavilion. Only Li Jianshu was left sitting there. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said to the air, "This Zhan Chen is really not simple. Interesting!"

After leaving Lanling Peak, Zhan Chen hurriedly returned to his own courtyard. He only let out a long sigh of relief when he closed the door. Although the night seemed calm between him and Li Jianshu, in reality, they were secretly competing.

During the process of his narration, Li Jianshu kept pressuring him and looked for his flaws to judge whether what he said was true or not. Fortunately, he successfully dealt with it without any slip-ups.
