”What should we do? ”Even Ninth Elder went to the inner sect. Who are you looking for help with now?”

Xiao Wen frowned, and said. Xin Lan, Dahwei and the little monkey were all lost in their thoughts. Originally, they wanted to get Ninth Elder to help Han Chen out, but she had also left the place.

In the entire outer court, only four or five ordinary elders remained. And these few elders, without exception, all had a good relationship with Yang Hui. Even if he found them, he wouldn't help them.

”I wonder how Han Chen is doing right now. It really is worrisome.”

”Damned Xue Chuan, he's really too much of a bully.”

”Ai!” Xin Lan sighed softly, and after a long period of silence, he raised his head and said helplessly. With things having gotten to this point, we should not waste anymore time. We can only hope that Han Chen will be alright. There were only two months left before the inner court disciple selection. Everyone go back to cultivate and break through to the Ninth Layer of Body Tempering! ”

The three of them also fell into deep thought. At this critical juncture, it would be difficult for them to calm down and cultivate even if something like this were to happen.

”Go back!” Time passed quickly during his training. When that time comes, we will go and fetch Han Chen together. ” Xin Lan continued to advise.

”En!” Da Wei nodded his head and clenched his fists as he said bitterly, ”If anything happens to Han Chen, I will definitely not let him off.”

Even though they hadn't known each other for long, a thick layer of friendship had already been established between them and Han Chen. Since there was nothing he could do, he could only wait patiently.

In the basement of the Core Fire Array.

At this time, Han Chen's entire body was shrouded in a dense golden brilliance, and like smoke, it lingered around him. The dark red flames in the surroundings were blazing brightly, as if they were in a sea of fire.

With regards to this unbearably high temperature, Han Chen no longer bothered with it. He focused on absorbing the effects of the Spirit Origin Fruit. What he did not notice was that the strength of the meat was gradually increasing after being roasted by the Core Flame.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed. There were still two days until Han Chen came out. However, the outer court disciples seemed to have already forgotten his existence. This was because the inner court disciples' election was about to be held.

This was the day that the outer sect disciples looked forward to the most. To be more accurate, it should be the more outstanding outer sect disciples. Only they had the chance to enter the inner sect.

In these two months, a month had passed. Xue Chuan and the others would frequently go over to humiliate and ridicule Han Chen, to see if he was dead. In the second month, the novelty was gone, and they rarely came over.

In the dim basement, there was a burning smell in the air. Han Chen shut his eyes tightly, as if an old monk in meditation, and remained motionless. Many of his clothes were charred black. His face was pale from lack of water.

Suddenly, with Han Chen at the center, the surrounding airflow became chaotic. He could clearly feel a stream of air moving around inside his body. It traveled through his limbs and bones before finally stopping at his lower abdomen where his dantian was, turning into a white cyclone.

Han Chen suddenly opened his eyes, two sharp light beams shot out, like a sharp sword in the night. Then the corners of his mouth curved up in surprise.

Creak! At the same time, the valve above his head opened, and two puzzled faces looked over, who else could it be other than Xue Chuan's underlings?

When they saw Han Chen, who was still alive below them, both of their faces revealed expressions of deep disbelief. ”Brat, I really never would have thought that you were still alive.”

Han Chen lifted his head, coldly glanced at the two of them, and then paid no further attention to them.

”Heh, your life is really big. However, I'm afraid you won't make it today. Senior Brother Xue Chuan has already said, if you are not dead yet, then you should directly raise the power of the Core Fire Array to its maximum. ”

Hearing the weird laughter of the two, Han Chen's face slightly changed. At the same time, his hatred for Xue Chuan rose to another level.

”Oh right, Senior Brother Xue Chuan told me to bring a message to you, hehe.” The slightly black skinned young man opened his mouth and said, ”In two days, he will become an official inner disciple. And if you want to seek revenge on him, you can only wait for your next life, hahahaha. ”

The two of them burst into laughter. Bang! With a ”clang”, he closed the valve. Shortly after, the temperature in the basement suddenly increased to an unprecedented level.

Whoosh! His surroundings instantly became a sea of fire, the substantial flames forming into a high-speed spinning fire wheel that surrounded Han Chen in the middle, turning into a tornado of fire, as though it would drown Han Chen in the next second.

Han Chen's expression was incomparably ugly, and her space between her brows was covered in a thick sense of seriousness. Is this the strongest power of the Core Fire Formation? It was simply not something an outer court disciple could withstand.

Han Chen was like a small boat in a whirlpool under water.
