Chapter 538: Lightning Mechanism

“Sect Leader Chen,” sneered Tuoba Qingshan, “no wonder you dared to intrude upon our Divine Eagle Sect’s territory alone. After all this commotion, turns out you’re a supernatural being! But do you really think that with those powers you can act unbridled here?”

Clenching his teeth, Tuoba Qingfeng’s hand now held a fire-red bead from which a crackling sound continuously emitted.

It seemed that the lightning Chen Yu had released a moment ago had been absorbed by this bead.

“Elder Tuoba, you don’t really think a mere bead can keep me trapped here, do you?”

The atmosphere between the two grew tense instantly, and their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

Just as they were about to clash, a figure suddenly rushed in from the entrance.

“Second Elder, our leader commands a meeting with Sect Leader Chen!”

Tuoba Qingfeng frowned involuntarily.

For years, conflicts between the Xuanqing Sect and the Divine Eagle Sect had been relentless, escalating to a life-and-death situation.

Every so often, the Divine Eagle Sect would send a group to stir trouble within the Xuanqing Sect.

In response, the Xuanqing Sect would dispatch people, aiming to annihilate the Divine Eagle Sect.

Now, the leader of the Divine Eagle Sect actually wanted to meet with the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect, an unprecedented event.

“Are you certain of these orders?” Tuoba Qingfeng, full of disbelief, grabbed the messenger’s shoulder and shook him.

The young messenger, startled, quickly pulled out a blood-red token from his person.

“This is a direct command from the Holy Master. I would never dare to relay false information.”

Chen Yu, too, was taken aback, but the command played right into his hands.

“If that’s the case, then I’m eager to see what manner of existence the Holy Master of the Divine Eagle Sect truly is.”

Unable to say much, Tuoba Qingfeng could only lead Chen Yu out of the shop personally.

Within the Divine Eagle Sect, there were in total three such underground fortresses, each surrounding the main altar from three different directions, nestled between extremely narrow mountain ravines.

This layout appeared very secretive; it was impossible to pinpoint the main altar’s location, whether from the sky or any other angle.

Following Tuoba Qingfeng, Chen Yu took a mountain cable car and quickly arrived at a plaza on the mountaintop.

Several elders in black Daoist robes sat in a neat circle at the center of the plaza.

The elder in the middle looked emaciated, his body so thin and withered that he hardly looked human, with his skin so crinkled and terrifying to behold.

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he immediately released his system to scan the brains of these people, but unexpectedly, an extremely strong magnetic field forcibly blocked the system.

“Such youth! Who would have imagined Xuanqing Sect would be able to elect such an exemplary Sect Leader. Give you a few decades, and I fear the Divine Eagle Sect would cease to exist,” said the elder in the middle as he slowly stood up, his voice ominous as though emerging from the depths of hell.

When he opened his eyes, a deep blue light suddenly spread out, even causing Chen Yu to unconsciously feel dazzled for a moment.

“You must be the leader of the Divine Eagle Sect, Tuoba Qingshan, the senior,” said Chen Yu.

The old man nodded, taking out a sapphire blue bead.

“Let’s go inside to talk,” he said.

The elder made a welcoming gesture, then threw the bead onto the ground. A brilliant azure light instantly covered the entire plaza.

Chen Yu only felt a very strong magnetic field spreading out, swiftly penetrating his body, as if attempting to scan all his information.
