Chapter 552: The Grace of Upbringing

Chen Yu was somewhat befuddled, unsure of what Xu Linjun really meant.

Just then, the elevator suddenly entered an emergency stop mode, and not long after, two men who looked like thugs hurriedly scrambled out.

“Xu, you’ve gone too far, have you forgotten who allowed you to take the position of tower master?”

Xu Linjun let out a wild laugh, and suddenly retreated next to Chen Yu.

“Sect Leader Chen, today I will use you to help me wipe out these beasts in human clothing.”

Before Chen Yu could react, Xu Linjun’s magnetic field power quickly concentrated, forming a massive fireball, and charged straight at the two thugs.

Lin Chuhe also seemed to think of something, immediately pulling out two spherical explosive devices from his body and flinging them out.

The two thugs, caught off guard as they walked out of the elevator, were directly blown away by the fireball and explosive devices, slamming hard into a stone pillar.

Chen Yu couldn’t bother with anything else, and directly stepped forward to pin the two thugs to the ground, as a blue and white light instantly entered their bodies.

“Sect Leader Xu, if I’m not mistaken, these two are also the Deputy Hall Masters of your core card, how could you strike your own people?”

Rage filled Xu Linjun’s eyes.

“I’m not one of them! Since Sect Leader Chen has asked, I will no longer conceal the truth.”

Xu Linjun took out a palm-sized cylindrical object from his body and threw it on the ground.

“The reason those fellows wanted me to be the tower master is because the Core Tower needs someone with innate abilities to be its master, so they can unscrupulously research transformation devices here.”

Chen Yu immediately understood what Xu Linjun meant.

And he also scanned information from the minds of the two fallen Deputy Hall Masters.

Put plainly, Xu Linjun was nothing more than a puppet of these Deputy Hall Masters, with no say in the daily affairs here.

When necessary, even he, the tower master, might become a subject of research.

Chen Yu patted Xu Linjun’s shoulder.

“If you are willing, I can help you eliminate these Deputy Hall Masters, then take all the Core Tower’s innate superpower users to the Xuanqing Sect, which is where you truly belong.”

Xu Linjun became excited immediately; he had long harbored an endless yearning for the sects of the Dao.

However, there were many sects within the Dao, and he had previously been rejected by some when he reached out for an invitation.

Now that the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect had personally invited him, he couldn’t be happier.

“Sect Leader Chen, I thank you right here!”

Lin Chuhe hurriedly stepped forward.

“There’s no need for courtesy between you two here. It’s not good for us to stay here now; the remaining Deputy Hall Masters might be on their way here.”

Xu Linjun didn’t care about that, drawing a card from his person.

“What’s there to fear? Can’t the three of us together beat the remaining ones? Let’s head to the top floor now, and show them what real innate superpower users are like.”

As his words fell, he directly swiped open the adjacent backup elevator, and the three unhesitatingly stepped inside.

Jin Lingsu also wanted to go up but was stopped by Chen Yu. This was a battle between innate superpower users, and Jin Lingsu simply couldn’t participate.

The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and as the three stepped out, the remaining eight Deputy Hall Masters were already seated in the main hall.

The middle-aged man at the forefront stood up, a broadsword with a ring pommel suddenly appearing in his hand.
