Chapter 436: Chapter 436: The News Brought by Mo Buwen and Yu Qingqing

"Bu Wen, Yu Qingqing, how come it’s you!"

Lu Chen was extremely surprised and walked straight over to them.

"Lu... Lu Senior."

Bu Wen and Yu Qingqing were also quite surprised, not expecting to encounter each other on the road to the Haotian Secret Realm after parting ways at the great Qin royal city.

Bu Wen had wanted to address him as Immortal Master, but fearing it would be too conspicuous, he instead used the term "Senior."

It was because both he and Yu Qingqing were only in the Qi Refinement Realm!

This was why Lu Chen was so surprised!

The other sects all sent those at the Foundation Establishment Stage, hoping to achieve something in the Haotian Secret Realm, but the Heavenly Pill Pavilion...

They had sent two menial workers who were only in the Qi Refinement Realm and newly joined the sect!

Wait, Qi Refinement Realm?

Upon closer inspection, Lu Chen indeed noticed that both Bu Wen and Yu Qingqing were at the early stage of Qi Refinement.

But in his heart, he had mixed feelings.

He was delighted, of course, to see old friends and that they had set foot on the Immortal Path.

But he was also anxious because the Haotian Secret Realm was surely not a place for those in the Qi Refinement Realm to venture into.

"Lu Senior, you must be careful, there’s a sect that has ill intentions toward you!"

As Lu Chen pondered in surprise, Bu Wen suddenly lowered his voice and said.

"What did you say?"

Lu Chen was taken aback. He was still considering what those two were doing here when Bu Wen brought him unexpected news.

On his side, even Yu Zhibai and Li Yanran, who were traveling with him, had not been dealt with, and now Bu Wen said this.

Yu Qingqing also looked nervous and said, "Lu... Lu Senior, we heard it’s the second-rate Qingyun Sect! They have put you on their kill list... said to even have a portrait! We overheard the information by chance!"

"Qingyun Sect!"

Lu Chen gasped, as this was a second-rate sect and a backer of the Xuanji Sect!

If he had any connection with them, it must have been because of the Xuanji Sect!

Yet the matter of his slaying the Xuanji Sect Master within the Five Elements Desolate Formation was extremely secretive; besides him and Little Black, no one else knew about it!

This news couldn’t possibly have spread to the Qingyun Sect!

Where could it have come from then?

Lu Chen had no idea. He had planned to arrive at the Haotian Secret Realm and deal with Yu Zhibai’s matter before disguising himself, but now...

"Senior Lu, rest assured, there is no one from the Qingyun Sect on this flying sword!"

Yu Qingqing’s words put Lu Chen somewhat at ease.

"How do you know this? And why have you been sent to the Haotian Secret Realm when you’re only at the Qi Refinement Stage?"

Knowing he was temporarily without worry, Lu Chen became concerned about the two.

Although only in the Qi Refinement Realm, their attitude toward him was beyond doubt.

Perhaps in the Haotian Secret Realm, they could become his helpers!

"It’s a long story," said Bu Wen with a wry smile. He glanced at Yu Qingqing and then leaned in closer, whispering, "Apparently, the Haotian Secret Realm is a conspiracy by top sects like the Haotian Sect. The Heavenly Pill Pavilion also wanted to send talented disciples, but afraid that the news was true and not willing to lose disciples in vain, they sent us as scapegoats instead."

Yu Qingqing added, "That’s right, and even the one leading this time is just an elder at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, planning to just go through the motions... Look, over there."

She gestured with her mouth toward another side, and Lu Chen looked over to see a group of six people sitting together. At first glance, he recognized the disciples of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, trying to ingratiatingly distribute pills from their hands among the group.

It seemed they were attempting to network with that sect through their pills.

"What sect are they from?"

Lu Chen asked quietly.

"Myriad Beasts Sect! Also a second-rate sect!"

Lu Chen made a mental note, then continued, "So once you get to the Haotian Secret Realm, are you going to follow that elder of Foundation Establishment?"

Yu Qingqing chuckled bitterly, "As soon as we boarded the flying sword, he drove us over here, saying we were not qualified to associate with him, and that we not only embarrassed him but could possibly ruin his endeavors."

Lu Chen was speechless, realizing it was clear they were considered a burden by him.

He turned to Bu Wen, "And how did you hear about this?"

Bu Wen knew Lu Chen had some suspicions, after all, it seemed far-fetched for someone at the Qi Refinement Stage to know this news.

He touched his nose and said, "Senior Lu, before I joined the Immortal Sect, I was betrayed by my brothers as a Martial Artist, so I’ve been extra cautious since joining the sect! Although just a menial worker, I also have to take good care of Junior Sister Yu... not to fail the trust Senior Lu placed in me... I digress. Anyway, being cautious in the Heavenly Pill Pavilion, listening more and speaking less, it was while I was on an errand for an elder that I accidentally overheard this news."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, understanding that Bu Wen had no motive to harm him, and in some matters, it’s better to be safe than sorry!

It seemed that the Haotian Secret Realm wasn’t so simple!

"Well then, you two just stick with me when the time comes!"

He stood up, then paused for a moment, "Unless you’re afraid of getting in trouble with the Qingyun Sect because of me!"

Bu Wen and Yu Qingqing did not hesitate, "We’re not afraid!"
