471: Will they fight?

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

After twenty days of travel, Yang Lingchen finally returned to Wentian Palace.

Having been away for over half a year, his state of mind had undergone earth-shattering changes upon his return.

Before he left, Yang Lingchen was merely an Outer Sect Disciple at the seventh layer of the Void Spirit Realm, but now his cultivation level had reached the Heavenly Net Realm Fourth Layer, and his true Combat Power was comparable to the Profound Venerable Realm Third Layer.

With his current strength, he could be considered an invincible existence among the younger generation of Wentian Palace.

Even Tan Shaodu and Xu Shaotang, who once posed the greatest threats to him, could be easily crushed by him if they were to meet again.

After returning to Xuanbing Peak, Yang Lingchen went directly to find Wang Xiaotian and said, "Senior, this Junior has broken through to the Heavenly Net Realm; I should be able to be promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple now, right?"

"Good lad, I haven't seen you for over half a year, and I didn't expect you to have broken through to the Heavenly Net Realm."

Wang Xiaotian looked at Yang Lingchen with a shocked expression; he truly could not understand how someone's speed to Cultivate could be so fast.

"This Junior just had some fortuitous encounters while out training," Yang Lingchen said with a smile.

"Good... good... good...!"

Wang Xiaotian laughed heartily. "This is the Inner Sect Disciple Identity Token; take it first. As for your Inner Sect residence, I will have someone arrange it for you immediately."

"Thank you, Senior."

Yang Lingchen cupped his hands and bowed politely.

"No need to be polite. You are a Genius Disciple of my Xuanbing Peak; this is all what you deserve," Wang Xiaotian said with a smile.

Very quickly, Yang Lingchen's residence in the Inner Sect was arranged.

Hantian Peak, Core Disciple area.

A tall, handsome youth was brandishing his battle sword.

Just then, an Inner Sect Disciple hurried over. "Senior Brother Xu, Yang Lingchen has returned."

"Is this true?"

A cold glint flashed in Xu Shaotang's eyes.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xu, but...!" The Inner Sect Disciple hesitated to speak.

"But what?" Xu Shaotang asked.

"That brat's cultivation level has broken through to the Heavenly Net Realm, and he is now an Inner Sect Disciple of Xuanbing Peak," the Inner Sect Disciple said.

"Impossible, this brat cannot have broken through so quickly!" Xu Shaotang frowned. "Are you sure he really became an Inner Sect Disciple?"

"Certain, this is something Elder Wang Xiaotian of Xuanbing Peak personally announced," the Inner Sect Disciple said.

"This time, This Young Master must cripple him." A fierce light flashed in Xu Shaotang's eyes.

"Senior Brother Xu, he is now an Inner Sect Disciple. If you cripple him, will there be trouble?"

"What trouble could there be? Even if This Young Master cripples him, who would dare do anything to me?"

Xu Shaotang said coldly. "Besides, that brat's cultivation level is improving so fast. If we don't cripple him now, we might never have the chance again. As long as he is crippled, even if I receive some punishment, it will be worth it."

"Senior Brother Xu, that brat isn't coming out of Xuanbing Peak. Are we supposed to attack up there?" the Inner Sect Disciple said.

"Of course not. You keep an eye on his movements for This Young Master. As soon as he leaves Xuanbing Peak, you notify This Young Master immediately," Xu Shaotang said coldly.

"Yes, Senior Brother Xu."

Meanwhile, the news of Yang Lingchen returning to Wentian Palace spread throughout the entire Wentian Palace immediately.

Although Yang Lingchen was only an Outer Sect Disciple, his fame in Wentian Palace was no less than any Core Disciple.

The main reason he possessed such great fame was that he had simultaneously gained the favor of the two great beauties of Wentian Palace.

There were even rumors outside that Li Hanyan and Su Yuyan, these two great beauties, had once fought over Yang Lingchen out of jealousy, so it was hard for him not to be famous.

"Have you heard? That Yang Lingchen seems to have returned, and he has also become an Inner Sect Disciple."

"That's impossible, right? How long has it been? When I first heard of him, he seemed to be only at the Early Stage of the Void Spirit Realm."

"Yeah, this brat's cultivation level Breakthrough is too fast, right?"

"Have you heard? Ji Bochang's soul lamp seems to have gone out. Rumors outside say it seems Yang Lingchen killed him."

"How is this possible? When Yang Lingchen left, his cultivation level seemed to be only at the seventh layer of the Void Spirit Realm. How could he possibly kill Ji Bochang, who was at the Third Level of the Celestial Net Realm?"

"But before Ji Bochang went missing, he seemed to have had a conflict with Yang Lingchen. Logically speaking, Yang Lingchen had a motive to kill."

"Brother, everything requires evidence. Having a motive doesn't mean he did it. Of course, if Tan Shaodu insists on targeting him, he could probably turn black into white."

"Keep your voice down, damn it! If this reaches Senior Brother Tan's ears, we won't even know how we died."

In a corner of Wentian Palace, several Inner Sect Disciples were discussing this.

At this time, Yang Lingchen was in his residence Cultivating.

There were only two years left until the Top Ten Forces Ranking Battle. Before that, he had to raise his cultivation level to the Xuanzun Realm; otherwise, even if he participated in the Ranking Battle, he wouldn't be able to get a good ranking.

Just then, two pieces of sound transmission jade in Yang Lingchen's storage ring vibrated. He hurriedly took them out and placed them to his ears to listen.

"Yang Lingchen, I am in Private Room No. 3 of the Medicinal Cuisine Hall. Come find me immediately," Li Hanyan's elegant voice rang out from the sound transmission jade.

"Yang Lingchen, I am waiting for you in Private Room No. 4 of the Medicinal Cuisine Hall. Don't keep me waiting too long," Su Yuyan's voice rang out from the other sound transmission jade.

"Sigh! It seems being handsome is also a mistake!"

Yang Lingchen sighed up at the sky.

At this moment, he didn't know how to reply to the two women. After all, they were both in the Medicinal Cuisine Hall, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him to go to either of their private rooms.

Afterward, Yang Lingchen washed up before leaving his residence.

He planned to go to the Medicinal Cuisine Hall alone to open a private room, and then have the two women come to his private room so he wouldn't offend either of them.

Flying low on his sword, in no time at all, Yang Lingchen arrived at the Medicinal Cuisine Hall.

After entering the Medicinal Cuisine Hall, he went directly to the second floor to open a luxury private room, then took out the sound transmission jade and sent messages to Li Hanyan and Su Yuyan respectively.

"Sister Hanyan, what a coincidence, I happen to be at the Medicinal Cuisine Hall too, Private Room No. 5."

"Senior Sister Su, what a coincidence, I am also at the Medicinal Cuisine Hall, Private Room No. 5. Why don't you come over to my side!"

After finishing the Sound Transmission, Yang Lingchen ordered a table of high-quality medicinal cuisine and waited for the two women to arrive.

Sure enough, before long, the voices of Li Hanyan and Su Yuyan came from outside the private room.

"Li Hanyan, why did you come too?" Su Yuyan raised an eyebrow and said coldly.

"Su Yuyan, this Medicinal Cuisine Hall isn't your home. You can come, so why can't I?"

Li Hanyan's tone was icy, showing no intention of backing down.

"Sister Hanyan, Sister Yuyan, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to run into you here. Quick, please come in."

Just then, Yang Lingchen suddenly opened the private room door and warmly greeted the two women.

"Hmph!"

"Hmph!"

Li Hanyan and Su Yuyan each snorted coldly, then walked into the private room.

Seeing this, Yang Lingchen hurriedly closed the private room door and then cast a Formation to isolate aura detection.

"Damn, did you see that? This Yang Lingchen is too awesome."

"Tsk... tsk... Su Yuyan and Li Hanyan, the two great beauties of Wentian Palace! He actually managed to ask them both out at the same time."

"Guess if Li Hanyan and Su Yuyan will fight inside?"

"Probably not. I see they seem quite well-behaved in front of Yang Lingchen."

"Do you think the three of them will do that thing inside?"

"Heh... heh, it's possible. Let's go over and listen, and we'll know."

Soon, the news of Yang Lingchen, Li Hanyan, and Su Yuyan gathering together spread throughout the entire Wentian Palace.

... To be continued!
