Chapter 254: Chapter 254: The Request of the Xuanji Sect Master!

"Lu Chen?"

The Xuanji Sect Master immediately recognized Lu Chen and was greatly surprised to find that he was actually a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

"Senior, it’s you!"

Lu Chen was greatly shocked in his heart.

No matter what, he had never imagined that the Xuanji Sect Master would personally come to this place!

Was it... for Yaotiao?

Or because of Zheng Linyin’s death?

Both of Lu Chen’s guesses were correct.

It was precisely because of Zheng Linyin’s death that the Xuanji Sect Master feared something might happen to Qin Yaotiao, which is why she came here.

But to meet Lu Chen right at the start was an even greater surprise for her!

"I didn’t expect that you, a cripple who lost his Dantian, not only became a cultivator but also achieved the Foundation Establishment Stage in less than three years!"

The Xuanji Sect Master narrowed her eyes and swept over Lu Chen with her Spiritual Sense multiple times, sensing the pure Spiritual Power in his body. For a moment, she actually couldn’t identify its attribute!

"Tell me, did you have an extraordinary encounter inside this Heaven’s Abyss, or had you become a cultivator before entering?"

Lu Chen was unaware that the true intention of the Xuanji Sect Master was to have him die, thus freeing Liu Ruyan from her lingering thoughts.

But seeing that he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage in such a short time, even though it might be due to some fortuitous encounter, it seemed he must be exceptionally talented!

Moreover, the disadvantages of a damaged Dantian seemed to have no impact on him at this time.

"If I hand him over to the Qingyun Sect, he will certainly be valued highly by them!"

The Xuanji Sect Master’s eyes seemed to see countless top-quality cultivation resources!

But Lu Chen dared not even let out a breath.

"Senior, I had already become a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator while at the Heavenly Book Academy, and entering this forbidden place, I inexplicably made a breakthrough. I don’t even know why!"

Lu Chen spoke evasively, just wanting to muddle through.

"Inexplicably?"

The Xuanji Sect Master narrowed her eyes, recalling that the Five Elements Formation from the outside seemed already damaged in the water and fire sectors. Could it be because of him?

However, in order to gain Lu Chen’s trust, she did not extend her hand to inspect his body but asked indifferently, "While here, have you encountered any other cultivators?"

"I encountered a few, but they were all dead. I was just lucky to pick up their storage bags!"

Lu Chen was afraid that she would search his person and he would be unable to explain himself clearly, so he simply chose to tell a lie.

Not only that, but he also took out Liu Ruyan’s storage bag and said, "Senior, please have a look to see if there is anything you can use. Consider it a token of respect from me!"

The Xuanji Sect Master glanced over it and immediately recognized it as Liu Ruyan’s storage bag, her expression turning colder without warning.

Even though she knew that Liu Ruyan had long been dead, and even knew about Zheng Linyin’s death, at this moment, she couldn’t help but feel some anger.

"Did you find any cultivators with strong auras here?"

"Yes, yes," Lu Chen’s eyes flashed as he said, "there was a female immortal who flew here on a Compass, with an imposing aura, but suddenly she was bitten in half by a giant serpent monster from the sea! I wanted to help, but nearly died myself!"

The Xuanji Sect Master snorted coldly, cursing Zheng Linyin for not knowing what was good for her. It seemed she knew this was the Five Elements Formation, which would be fine elsewhere.

But this was the Five Elements Formation within the Heaven’s Abyss, undiscovered for many years. The powerful monsters lurking here might even be feared by her!

To think she dared to fly over so carelessly.

It seemed there were no Golden Core Cultivators present, just powerful monsters.

With this in mind, there was no need to worry too much about Qin Yaotiao. Lu Chen’s value to her was now no less than Yaotiao’s.

She nodded her head and said, "Lu Chen, our meeting again shows we have destiny with each other. And now you’ve also reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. I am willing to take you as my disciple, do you wish to accept?"

Lu Chen was startled in his heart.

The Xuanji Sect Master was surely deceiving him!

Because before he fell out with Shang Xiu, he knew that the Xuanji Sect would never take on male disciples!

This was not a rule from their sect’s founding ancestors but imposed by the Qingyun Sect!

So what exactly did this person in front of him want to do?

Seeing Lu Chen remain silent, the Xuanji Sect Master said again, "What’s wrong? Are you not willing to join my Xuanji Sect and meet Qin Yaotiao?"

Upon mentioning this name, Lu Chen had no choice but to steel himself, getting ready to agree, when suddenly, a tremendous aura whirled down, pressing towards the Xuanji Sect Master!

"Hmm? A Core Formation Stage?"

The Xuanji Sect Master had just thought there were no Core Formation Stage cultivators left in this place when suddenly one appeared, causing her complexion to change. She soared into the sky like a swallow, flying up and slapping her palm toward the direction the aura came from!

Boom!

The sea of fire was extinguished in many places by the immense Spiritual Power, and Lu Chen’s eyes flashed as he quickly turned and fled!

This place was already separated by a transparent barrier, and Lu Chen now appeared in the Fire Marshland!
