C164 seventh level (1/2)

The Head Elder had gone into seclusion. The ones dealing with the matters inside the sect were the Second and Third Elders. Han Chen thought for a bit, then replied, ”Protector Li Meng, then help me announce the Second Elder! Just say that I have matters to discuss with you. ”

He did not have the slightest good impression of Third Elder Han Chen. Yesterday, he had almost driven Ming Ruo out, because of him.

”Okay, wait here for a while.” Li Meng frankly replied.

”Thank you for your trouble.”

Han Chen nodded, and then watched Li Meng report inside the Zi Feng Hall. In less than half a cup of tea's time, the other party returned. and informed Han Chen that the Second Elder was willing to see him.

After thanking him, Han Chen entered the Zi Feng Hall alone. The wide hall was filled with an ancient aura. The last time Han Chen came, was when he left the psychedelic forest.

At the top of the hall stood a slim middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties. However, from his slightly cloudy old eyes, it could be seen that his actual age was different from his appearance.

Disciple Han Chen greets the second clan elder. Han Chen cupped his fists in salute, a look of respect on his face.

”Stand up!” The second elder said lightly with a trace of surprise on his face, ”I have heard of you before. Last year, you entered the inner sect with your strength at the first level of the Refinement Stage. ”In just a short year, you've already reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. It's truly amazing.”

”Thank you, Second Elder, for your praise.” Han Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, he was unfazed by humiliation.

But seeing how calm the other party was, the Second Elder could not help but feel a sense of appreciation for him. Then, he went straight to the point. ”What do you want from me?”

”Reporting to Second Elder, when I was on my way back to the Mystical Peak, passing by Mo Lin City, I ran into someone who was training in the spirit body to harm me.”

”What?” The second elder's expression immediately changed as he frowned, ”Cultivating spirit bodies?” ”Who dares to do such a thing?”

”That man is called Gongsun Lingfeng, and he claims to be a junior of the Gongsun Family.”

”Gongsun Family?” The Second Elder squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and asked, ”Is it the Gongsun Family that is close to the Yue Lan Empire?”

”This disciple isn't too sure.” Han Chen replied.

The Second Elder revealed a trace of suspicion in his eyes, but continued to speak, ”Han Chen, based on your words alone, no one will believe you. How can you be sure that Gongsun Family cultivates a spirit body? ”

”Second Elder, look at this.” With a thought, a Skeleton Marionette and a black book appeared in Han Chen's hand out of nowhere. There were three large words written on the book, ”Soul Refinement Technique”.

”This?”

”This is the evidence that I found on Gongsun Lingfeng's body.” Han Chen presented the puppet and book.

The Second Elder extended his hand to take it, solemnly examined the skeleton puppet, and then casually flipped through the book. In the end, he took a deep breath and shouted, ”Hmph, I never expected that Gongsun Family would do such an evil thing.”

”Second Elder, with this evidence, can you prove that they are in the midst of training their spirit bodies?”

”Yes, yes. However, this matter is of great importance. I will look for the Great Elder and the two Sect Leaders to discuss this matter in a few days.” As for you, don't spread the news. ”

”Yes, disciple understands.”

”Alright, then you can leave first!” The Second Elder said.

Han Chen nodded and cupped his fists: ”I will take my leave first.”

Looking at Han Chen's leaving figure, the Second Elder's eyes revealed some indescribable meaning. Just as Han Chen was about to leave, he saw another figure slowly walking out from the side of the inner hall. The person who had arrived was none other than the Third Elder.

”Did you hear what he said just now?” The Second Elder's voice sounded deep.

The third elder's eyebrows knitted together as he stared at the skeleton puppet and Soul Refining Technique in the other party's hand. ”How are you going to do this?”

”Heh.” The Second Elder looked up and passed the two items in his hands to the Third Elder, ”I will just ask, you handle this matter! However, remember this. You must not let the Great Elder and the Headmaster know about this. ”

The corners of the third elder's mouth curled into a cold smile, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

After leaving the Zi Feng Hall, the weather outside was beautiful and sunny. The gentle sunlight shined on his body, making him feel warm and comfortable. Han Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He no longer had to worry about the matter of Gongsun Family secretly cultivating his spirit body.

After half an hour, Han Chen stood at the entrance of the Spirit Gathering Tower.
