Chapter 730: Chapter 730: You Must Have Possessed Xuan Hong, Right?

One could say that this was Lu Chen’s greatest secret at the bottom of his heart.

Even excluding Li Qingyao and Lu Tianren, no one knew!

But Xuan Hong...

How did he recognize it?

"Lu Chen, my boy," Xuan Hong sat up, even though there was still a bloody hole in his abdomen, oozing blood and Spiritual Power.

"I have lived long enough, and in this lifetime I have only misjudged one person, and that was Ji Changchun. Therefore, my eyes are not blind!"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and said, "Then how did you know that I am a person of the Hatetian Clan? Does that mean you were also involved in the events of the past year?"

What he referred to was naturally the incident in the heavenly abyss.

"Not at all," Xuan Hong’s lips curved into an arc, "Now I have two demands. One is that you go kill Ji Changchun, and the other... is to protect my Xuanyun Sect! Otherwise, I won’t tell you!"

Lu Chen, however, laughed.

"I, Lu Chen, never succumb to threats! Besides, you are about to be a dead man, whether you know if I am a person of the Hatetian Clan becomes completely unimportant."

"No, no, no," Xuan Hong laughed even more joyfully than Lu Chen, "You have just entered the Nascent Soul stage, and you know nothing about the cultivation that follows! This is clearly the greatest perplexity in your heart! Now that you have discussed this issue with me, if it is not resolved, it will leave an obsession in your heart. By then, even if you can go to the Spirit World, I fear you won’t be able to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage after the Nascent Soul!"

So that was his thinking!

Lu Chen hadn’t expected that Xuan Hong had such a plan in mind.

Still, this could not threaten Lu Chen at all!

The secrets of the Hatetian Clan could be asked of the Hateful Heaven Totem, and even though the Hateful Heaven Totem had disappeared, Lu Chen believed that it had not died.

Furthermore, he could ask the Pure Jade Vase, he could ask his mother, Li Qingyao!

Therefore, Xuan Hong was bound to die and he definitely couldn’t intimidate Lu Chen!

Only...

It also served as a reminder to Lu Chen.

Secrets will inevitably be discovered by others.

Where was the problem?

It was with his parents!

"Perhaps... Xuan Jian could guess something as well?"

Lu Chen kept a mindful eye and no longer paid attention to Xuan Hong, who was waiting for a response. He turned and walked deeper into the cavern.

He planned to take all the remaining cultivation resources, then come back and wait for the deaths of Xuan Hong and Ji Changchun!

Only after fully confirming their deaths would Lu Chen leave.

After a while, Lu Chen was surprisingly looking at Xuan Jian’s Nascent Soul.

"Lu Chen, did you really... kill Xuan Hong?"

Xuan Jian looked at Lu Chen with immense shock, as he had restored his Nascent Soul with Lu Chen’s help.

Then he heard the commotion from the back mountain, and he was somewhat concerned about Lu Chen, so he rushed over.

And saw what was before him.

"I killed him, but he’s not dead yet. Do you and your fellow disciple...want to say anything?"

Lu Chen said indifferently.

Xuan Jian shook his head, lowered his Nascent Soul a bit, saw Ji Changchun being scorched by the Ice-Strange Fire, then let out a long sigh.

"Lu Chen, my boy, I have an uninvited request."

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, "Spare Xuanyun Sect?"

"The others are innocent."

Xuan Jian fell silent for a moment, but he had no leverage.

After all, Xuan Hong represented Xuanyun Sect.

And if Lu Chen could kill Xuan Hong, it meant he could also defeat the other Nascent Souls of Xuanyun Sect!

Even if he might not win for now, with Lu Chen’s strength, given time, Xuanyun Sect would have its lineage cut off within his generation!

Lu Chen thought for a moment and suddenly a thought appeared in his mind.

If they are unrelated, indeed, he could refrain from angering them.

But he certainly could not stay in Xuanyun Sect to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Looking at the earnest expression on Xuan Jian’s face, and remembering the various actions of Xuan Jian since they had met, Lu Chen straightforwardly said, "Xuan Jian, I, Lu Chen, am not an unreasonable person. Indeed, I owe you a favor from within the Haotian Secret Realm! Chu Zhongtian said you had planned to take me back to the Sword Pool to heal!"

"Lu Chen," Xuan Jian sighed, but felt extremely fortunate inwardly at his earlier words, "Speak frankly, even if at that time it was a favor, by now, you have saved Chu Zhongtian, helped him break through to Core Formation, the favor should have been repaid. If you indeed can spare the junior disciples of Xuanyun Sect, I, Xuan Jian, will still be indebted to you!"

Lu Chen laughed.

If what Xuan Jian said was truly heartfelt, then it meant he hadn’t misjudged him!

"Whether or not that’s owed is temporarily a separate issue, it all depends on whether you can agree to my conditions!"

Xuan Jian’s expression grew stern, and he said solemnly, "Please state them!"

Lu Chen turned his head, gazing into the depths of the cavern, and said lightly, "I hear that a Nascent Soul can initiate possession, why don’t you go in and possess Xuan Hong, how about that?"
