Chapter 2352: Exposed (1/2)

After Xuan Zhan received the message outside the Tower of Radiance, the light in his eyes flickered rapidly. His gaze would be piercing at times and calm at other times. He was clearly deeply conflicted.

However, he gradually calmed down. He dismissed all the elders nearby before slowly turning around. He faced the entrance with his back. He stared at the hazy white sea of clouds outside the Tower of Radiance as his gaze deepened.

At this moment, the screen of light near the entrance of the Tower of Radiance pulsed. Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue suddenly appeared.

As soon as they emerged, they discovered vice-leader Xuan Zhan standing right before them. Immediately, they became taken aback.

“Donglin Yanxue greets the vice-leader,” Donglin Yanxue immediately bowed and glanced at Jian Chen beside her. Her heart could not help but tighten.

“Chang Yang greets the vice-leader!” Jian Chen also clasped his hands and bowed. He glanced at the vice-leader’s back as he suddenly felt an ill omen.

He could clearly sense that something was off with the vice-leader.

“You’ve come out?” At this moment, Xuan Zhan turned around. He was calm as if nothing had happened at all. However, his dignified, fierce eyes were abnormally deep.

“Many matters have happened recently. Many peak experts on the Desolate Plane have gathered within the sacred hall. Donglin Yanxue, although your status is no lower than an elder’s, you need to be careful in the next few days. Don’t run into these people, alright?” Xuan Zhan continued as he looked at Donglin Yanxue with shining eyes.

Donglin Yanxue’s expression immediately changed slightly, and she responded in a hurry.

Jian Chen’s heart sank. He glanced at Xuan Zhan deeply. Although Xuan Zhan was talking to Donglin Yanxue, he felt like the vice-leader was purposefully directing these words towards him.

“Have I been discovered already?” Jian Chen thought. Now that all the experts had gathered in the Radiant Saint Hall, Jian Chen’s suspicions were basically confirmed.

“The Tower of Radiance resides in a forbidden ground, so don’t stay here. Leave immediately, just in case you violate any rules,” Xuan Zhan waved his hand and said indifferently.

Afterwards, Donglin Yanxue left in a hurry with Jian Chen.

“Xuan Zhan, Chang Yang is extremely likely to be Jian Chen. Are you just going to let him go like this? You need to know that if he’s Jian Chen, he’s also the eighth member of the Martial Soul lineage. If he matures in the future, he’ll become a huge threat to our Radiant Saint Hall.”

The voice of the Radiant Saint Hall’s leader rang out in Xuan Zhan’s head again after Jian Chen and Donglin Yanxue’s departure.

With the voice, an illusionary body conjured from a sliver of the leader’s soul silently appeared. He looked at Xuan Zhan in confusion.

“He must leave here.” Xuan Zhan showed no politeness towards the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall as he stared in the direction that Jian Chen had left in.

“Xuan Zhan, I really don’t understand why you want to protect him. After all, he might belong to the Martial Soul lineage. What happened in the World of Moon and Star might be directly related to him,” the leader of the Radiant Saint Hall looked at Xuan Zhan helplessly.
