Chapter 613 (1/2)

Chapter 613: 613

There were three newcomers who were sitting in the Xuantian Palace . One was a muscular man with a broadsword on his back . One was a middle-aged man wearing embroidered robes . And the last was an elderly man .

The muscular man was extremely large . Even sitting down, his height was almost the same as an ordinary person standing up . He released an explosive aura .

The middle-aged man appeared to be in his thirties . He had three whiskers, and he carried a folding fan in his hand . He looked just like a scholar .

As for the elder, he was clad in violet robes with a nine-story tower embroidered onto it . Boundless pressure came from him .

Shui Wuhen and Zhou Qingyi were also present . They were currently talking to the middle-aged man, as the muscular man and the elder refused to say a word . They simply sat there with their eyes closed .

“Monastery head Shui, when will Long Chen arrive? I’ve already waited for an hour . He’s just a junior, so why must he put on such airs?” Suddenly, the muscular man broke his silence . His voice was similar to his figure, rough and coa.r.s.e, sounding like the beating a loud drum .

“I’m sorry, but I was unaware you would be coming . Long Chen went out for a trip, but I’ve already sent disciples to alert him . He should quickly return . ” Shui Wuhen smiled .

Although this sword-bearing muscular man and the middle-aged scholar were only half-step Sea Expansion experts, Shui Wuhen had no choice but to be courteous to them .

That was because their backgrounds were far too intimidating . The sword-bearing man was actually from a sect as famous as the Xuantian Dao Sect: the Heaven Splitting Divine Sect .

His appearance made Shui Wuhen slightly worried . The Heaven Splitting Divine Sect was not present in this region . Could it be that news that Long Chen had cultivated the first form of Split the Heavens had reached their ears?

Did Long Chen’s intense battles in Qing Prefecture expose him? But that still didn’t make sense . If it was from that, the timing didn’t match up . It would be impossible for someone to arrive this quickly .

As for the middle-aged man, his background was equally shocking . He came from the Ancient Family Alliance . Although the Xuantian Dao Sect and the Ancient Family Alliance were not enemies or friends, she still had to be courteous .

The fact that someone from the Ancient Family Alliance would come was well within her expectations . The destruction of the Yin family was a major matter .

However, the fact that the Pill Tower had also sent someone made her a bit bewildered . The Pill Tower supposedly did not care about worldly matters . Why would they come here?

Now wasn’t the time for her to say those things . However, the fact that three great powers had sent representatives at the same time was rather thought-provoking .

“Hmph, it couldn’t be that you sent him running, right?” asked the sword-bearing man icily .

“Sir, are you suspecting me?” Shui Wuhen’s expression sank . This was too much .

When it came to cultivation base and even including his status, this sword-bearing man was only a half-step Sea Expansion expert . He did not have the qualifications to be arrogant in front of her, a true Sea Expansion expert .

That was especially true since Shui Wuhen was a monastery head who represented the Xuantian Dao Sect . His words seemed to be a provocation .

The sword-bearing man snorted but didn’t say anymore . As for Zhou Qingyi, a slight smile appeared on her face, one delighting in Shui Wuhen’s misfortune .

“Reporting to the monastery head, senior apprentice-brother Long Chen has arrived!”

Long Chen walked in . The instant he appeared, three gazes locked onto him .

Long Chen stared back and his heart shook . He felt a strong sense of danger from these people . Although they were only half-step Sea Expansion experts, they were extremely strong . They were much stronger than w.a.n.g Yishan or Luo Yingxiong .

“You are Long Chen?”

The sword-bearing man suddenly stood up . He was a whole head taller than Long Chen, and he icily looked down at him .

Shui Wuhen frowned . The man was too stupid, and it seemed he didn’t know any manners . However, this wasn’t a good time for her to say anything . She just glanced at Long Chen, indicating he should be careful .

As soon as Long Chen saw this sword-bearing man, he could guess his origin . He possessed the aura of Split the Heavens, so he should have come from the Heaven Splitting Divine Sect .

“Correct . ” Long Chen nodded .

“Where did you obtain the first form of Split the Heavens?” asked the sword-bearing man icily .

Long Chen frowned, a bit irritated . This mannerism made it seem like he was interrogating a criminal .

Suddenly, Shui Wuhen gave him a meaningful glance, and Long Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his anger . “Back in the Phoenix Cry Empire, I found it in a pile of discarded Battle Skills in the capital’s Battle Skill Pavilion . ”

“Do you have any proof?”

“The capital had people overseeing everything . You can go ask . Back then, I used a medicinal pill to bribe one of them to obtain the beast hide . ”

In any case, his parents had already left Phoenix Cry . Long Chen no longer had any misgivings . Furthermore, he was speaking the truth, so he wasn’t afraid of any investigation .

With the rules of the cultivation world, cultivators were not allowed to make things hard on the secular world’s people . This sword-bearing man wouldn’t dare do anything to the Phoenix Cry Empire .
