310: Xuanming Sect's action, Yi Chen blocked it

“My teacher is in the Flower Sect. This time, I went to the ruins with people from the Flower Sect, but I was betrayed on the way.”

Speaking of this, Nalan Yanran gritted her teeth in anger. If she hadn't met Lin Xiu, her fate would have been unimaginable.

“Flower Sect?”

Lin Xiu repeated it, a look of surprise flashing across his face. Some things truly couldn't be changed.

He scrutinized Nalan Yanran, “It seems she isn't doing too well in the Flower Sect, is she?”

Nalan Yanran knew who Lin Xiu was asking about and nodded, “My teacher originally didn't want to get involved in the Flower Sect's disputes. It's not too bad now, and there's that Elder taking care of her.”

Hesitation flickered across her face. She stared at Lin Xiu, “After the spatial tunnel, my teacher and I went to Starfall Pavilion, hoping to ask Venerable Feng to save you, but he didn't agree.”

There was such a thing?

Lin Xiu was taken aback. He really hadn't heard Xiao Yan and the others mention it, which was quite unexpected.

“Hmm, and you? Are you going back to the Flower Sect, or...?”

Lin Xiu was about to leave but suddenly changed his mind.

“My teacher is still there; I can't abandon her.”

Nalan Yanran replied.

“Alright then, I'll take you to a nearby city, and you can use the spatial tunnel to go back yourself.”

Lin Xiu had to guard Yao Tianhuo at the moment, so he definitely couldn't go to the Flower Sect.

He raised his hand, and Nalan Yanran appeared before him.

Gripping her shoulders, their figures began to blur.

Before long, a city appeared.

Lin Xiu led her directly to the spatial tunnel plaza, “Keep this. If her situation becomes very difficult, crush it.”

Handing a Jade Slip to Nalan Yanran, he left without hesitation... On the other side.

Inside the Xuanming Sect, a grey-robed old man was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his eyes opened.

He flipped his palm and took out a Jade Slip.

At this moment, the Jade Slip was already filled with cracks. After appearing, it immediately shattered.

“Xian'er!”

The old man's expression changed drastically. He summoned someone to inquire.

Then, his figure flashed and he rushed out.

Not long after, he arrived at a forest.

He saw him slide his palm, and a bloody Qi emerged, with specks of light appearing.

Those lights formed a picture.

After seeing it, the old man gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words, “Lin Xiu!”

Xuanming Sect, main hall.

When a grey figure rushed into the hall, all the Elders waiting there stood up, their gazes converging, “Sect Master!”

“Send someone to inform the Hall of Souls, Lin Xiu is here with us!”

Chen Tiannan, with a gloomy face, sat in the main seat, his eyes filled with anger and sorrow.

“Lin Xiu? Why is that harbinger of doom here?”

“Sect Master, how did you find out? Is the news true?”

“This guy's strength is not to be underestimated; Ice River Valley was annihilated by him.”

Hearing the words “Lin Xiu” from the Sect Master's mouth, the Elders in the main hall were all somewhat flustered.

For a time, the Xuanming Sect, which enjoyed a considerable reputation in the Central Plains, became somewhat uneasy.

“How did I find out? He killed Xian'er!”

Chen Tiannan grabbed a teacup nearby and slammed it to the ground, the powerful force directly pulverizing the teacup.

The main hall suddenly fell silent.

Everyone only knew that the Sect Master had suddenly left with a serious expression, but they didn't know the specific reason, which was why they had gathered.

Now they finally understood the reason for the Sect Master's rage.

“I will go notify the Hall of Souls immediately.”

An Elder cupped his hands and, after agreeing, was about to leave.

Just then, a voice drifted in from outside the hall.

“Wait!”

All eyes turned towards the entrance. Two figures walked in from outside, led by a young man.

He looked young, with a slender build and an extremely handsome face, like a woman's.

His brows and eyes always held a hint of ruthlessness.

His overall demeanor leaned more towards coldness.

Beside him was an old man.

He looked unremarkable, but everyone in the main hall became much more tense.

“Nephew Yi.”

Chen Tiannan frowned, rose from his seat, and cupped his hands towards the old man beside him, “Greetings, Elder Yi Ming.”

“Uncle Chen, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just heard the name Lin Xiu. Are you referring to the Lin Xiu who just took all the treasures from the ruins?”

The young man, Yi Chen, asked after bowing.

A faint hint of anticipation gleamed in his eyes.

Chen Tiannan nodded, “It's him.”

“Uncle Chen, this nephew believes that directly notifying the Hall of Souls might be inappropriate.”

Upon confirmation, Yi Chen's expression showed a flash of excitement, which he forcefully suppressed before stating a different opinion.

“Nephew Yi, I know you might have ideas about him, but you must understand, Lin Xiu is no ordinary person. He has intricate connections with the Void Ancient Dragon. Such a person is not someone our Xuanming Sect can afford to provoke.”

How could Chen Tiannan not know the young man's thoughts, but what he cared more about was avenging his son.

Xian'er was killed; Lin Xiu couldn't possibly pay no price at all.

“That's not right.”

Yi Chen waved his hand, “Uncle Chen was also present at the ruins that day, and I believe he saw it. Think about why Lin Xiu would linger in this vicinity. After taking the treasures, shouldn't he have returned to his territory for safety sooner?”

“You mean, someone with them was injured, and very seriously? So they had no choice but to find a place to heal first?”

Chen Tiannan was startled, asking tentatively.

Yi Chen nodded without hesitation, “Uncle Chen, no matter how strong Lin Xiu is, he has only been famous for a year. From the alchemy convention until now, he has only recently Broken Through to Dou Zun.”

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping from the old man beside him, past everyone in the main hall, and landing on Chen Tiannan, “And we, with so many people, can't we take him down?”

As he spoke.

He saw Chen Tiannan's brows furrow, his face showing a thoughtful expression.

“Uncle Chen, think again. An entire ruin was swept clean by Lin Xiu. If you tell the Hall of Souls, even if they deal with Lin Xiu, what will you gain?”

Yi Chen pressed on, persuading him again.

He pointed to himself, “I am now a one-star Dou Zun, Elder Yi is a five-star Dou Zun, and Uncle Chen, you are also a Dou Zun powerhouse. Plus, there are so many Elders in this hall. To put it another way, even if we can't take down Lin Xiu, is it still not possible to retreat safely?”

Now Chen Tiannan truly showed a troubled expression.

Firstly, the young man in front of him came from their Xuanming Sect's headquarters, the Tianming Sect.

That is, one of the two sects in the so-called One Hall, One Pagoda, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions, the Tianming Sect.

Secondly, Yi Chen had gained a notorious reputation in the Central Plains over the years, known as Evil Spirit, and was one of the strong contenders for the next Sect Master of the Tianming Sect.

If they offended him, and Yi Chen became the Sect Master of the Tianming Sect later, their Xuanming Sect wouldn't have a good time.

Finally, Chen Tiannan felt that what Yi Chen said made some sense. Even if they couldn't win, with so many people, self-preservation should be no problem.

In a year's time, Lin Xiu would at most be a two-star Dou Zun. If the others were all injured, it was indeed possible for them to take down Lin Xiu.

“Uncle Chen, if we can take him down, I'll give you thirty percent of Lin Xiu's belongings.”

Yi Chen said.

Hearing this, Chen Tiannan looked at the two, “I want forty percent!”

“Alright, but Lin Xiu himself must belong to me.”

Yi Chen seemed to have guessed he would say this and immediately replied.

Chen Tiannan nodded, “Good!”

He knew that Yi Chen Cultivated one of the Tianming Sect's core Cultivation Techniques, the Blood Evil Cultivation Technique.

This Cultivation Technique could devour the opponent's flesh and blood, converting everything, including their Qi, into one's own. Such methods were extremely cruel but also very effective.

This was evident from Yi Chen's Breakthrough to Dou Zun at such a young age.

Chen Tiannan was not surprised by his apprehension towards Lin Xiu's Physical Body.
