C178 (1/2)

A pile of doubts lingered in Li Chen's mind. He decided to go to the Scholar's Manor to have a look.

When he once again stood at the Scholar's Manor, Li Chen could clearly feel a strange aura permeating the entire mansion. It was similar to his Soul Transformation technique, but not exactly the same.

After entering the Disciple's Manor, Li Chen couldn't help but slightly frown because the mansion was too chaotic. Even the place he was standing at was a pile of messy items. The porcelain fragments on the ground were also piled up in a pile as if they had been robbed by a group of bandits.

Li Chen walked around inside and suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind him. His body quickly dodged.

”Bam!”

It was the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground, and it just so happened to hit the wall. With a ”boom”, the wall was smashed into a pile of dust.

Li Chen's eyes slightly narrowed as he stared in the direction of the heavy object and asked, ”Which expert is here? Can you show yourself?”

”Where did this little kid come from? How dare he disturb my peace and quiet!” A hoarse voice came from inside. The voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears, making people feel as if their heads were buzzing.

Li Chen frowned. How powerful was this old man to be able to infuse his Mental Energy into his voice? This opponent was definitely a powerful enemy!

”Compared to senior coming uninvited, my actions are nothing.” Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked into the room.

Hearing this, a series of whooshing sounds could be heard from inside, followed by a figure flying out quickly, completely exposing himself to Li Chen's eyes.

The old man wore a set of grey robes with a few patches on it that made him look poor and slovenly. His eyes drooped downwards, and the surrounding wrinkles were like dried up ravines. His brown eyes were deeply sunken in his eye sockets.

Li Chen was shocked. Wasn't this the person who almost caused his death, the Ghost Valley?! Compared to eight years ago, the Ghost Valley seemed to have aged a lot. If it were not for the daylight, Li Chenfei would have thought that he had seen a ghost!

Gui Gu also seemed to have recognized Li Chen. His expression seemed to be very excited as his eyes suddenly widened. He trembled as he said, ”You!? It's you! ”

Logically speaking, Li Chen should have called Ghost Valley Zi as his master, because after all, he was the one who had passed down the Manifestation Art to him. However, this old man was ruthless.

”You are still alive … Good... ”Very good!”

Gui Gu coldly laughed, making Li Chen feel more and more uncomfortable. This uncomfortable feeling was entirely caused by the aura on Gui Gu Zi's body. Li Chen could not help but frown as the other party was born to be opposing him.

”Since the Ghost Valley Elder is back, why don't you go to the Sword School? I'm sure the Great Elder will be very happy to see you.” Li Chen had a smile on his face. Ghost valleys had been very powerful for a few years, and they were now very terrifying. Li Chen tried his best to avoid conflict with them, so there was no provocation in his words.

”Great Clan Elder? You mean the old thief from the past? ”Kaka!” The Ghost Valley Zi let out a strange laugh, his voice was indescribably terrifying and bizarre, ”Ever since Sect Leader Duan died, there has been no one in the entire Sword Inquisition who is worthy of my notice! The old thief had been the accomplice of the tiger, and the entire Sword Inquisition Sect was getting worse with each passing day! Why should I go back? ”

Li Chen cursed in his heart. This old thief had long since disregarded everyone and had no intention of returning to the Sword Seeking Sect. If such an expert were to continue living, it would bring disaster to the sect.

”The world is big. Even if I don't go back to the School of Sword Arts, with Elder Ghost's martial arts, where can I not go? Why do I have to stay in the Heavenly Radiance City?” Li Chen's words were filled with probing intent. Ghost valleys had stayed in Tianguang City for a year, and they had even caused such a chaos in the entire residence. There must be some unspeakable secrets.

Li Chen had thought that the Ghost Valley would beat around the bush with him. Who knew that the Ghost Valley would just glance at him indifferently, ”This is the house of a disciple of my Asking Sword Sect, how can I not stay here?”

Li Chen didn't think that the Ghost Valley would say this. He was stunned for a moment before thinking, ”How did the Ghost Valley know this was the Situ Family?” But even though he had doubts in his heart, Li Chen still smiled and said, ”Ghost elder's words are wrong. This mansion is no longer Disciple Si's manor!” It's my Li family's territory! ”Although we are from the same sect, to stay here without the permission of the master is very bad, no?”

As Li Chen spoke, he looked at Gui Gu Zi with a slightly cold gaze. Gui Gu Zi frowned and took a step forward: ”What did you say? This is the Li Family's territory? ”

Three years ago, when the small legend was about to take down the plaque, after thinking for a long time, Li Jun decided to call it 'Li Residence'. Li Jun looked at Gui Gu Zi with a strange expression as she said, ”Don't you know that the Situ Clan has long since disappeared?”

”This place is …” Your territory? ” Gui Gu's expression became complicated as he looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen was not clear on Ghost Valley's purpose, but he wanted to ask more clearly, so he smiled and said, ”Going to someone else's house to ask such a question, Elder Gui is really getting older and older, don't tell me you think this place is your own home …”

It was as if Gui Gu didn't hear what Li Chen said. He looked at Li Chen and said, ”So that thing isn't in the mansion, but in your hands?”

”What is the thing that Ghost Elder said?” Li Chen raised his eyebrows. He really had other intentions.
