Chapter 940: Five Great Families Gathered
In front of the mountain gate of Yuhua Sect, Lu Chen, Zhao Yansong and Lin Hao had just landed smoothly from the air.
Before they could gain a firm foothold, a figure appeared in front of them like a ghost.
The man was tall, with a gaunt face, a pair of sharp eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, and he exuded an aura of majesty that made people dare not underestimate him.
Zhao Yansong was stunned at first, but then he reacted and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face. He bowed respectfully and said:
"Disciple greets Elder Sun."
Lu Chen took a look at the person who came. Although he didn't know this elder, seeing Zhao Yansong was so respectful, he also followed Lin Hao and bowed in the same manner.
Although he had some doubts in his heart, he did not show it and maintained a polite attitude.
Elder Sun smiled slightly, and glanced at the three people gently.
Then, his mind moved, and an invisible message was instantly transmitted to the minds of the three people, silently explaining his purpose.
After hearing this, Zhao Yansong and Lin Hao could hardly hide their excitement on their faces, but they still suppressed their inner joy, with excitement flashing in their eyes.
Obviously, what Elder Sun said was great news for them.
When Lu Chen heard this, he pretended to be happy with a faint smile on his face.
But in his heart, he sneered at Elder Sun's behavior.
It was only because Elder Sun came here specially that he was the elder responsible for supervising the assessment of the three people.
Then he said that after his inspection, the Black Stone Gang had been disbanded, and the three of them had completed the assessment.
As for the process, Elder Sun did not mention a word, and even hinted to Lu Chen and the other two not to talk nonsense.
Zhao Yansong and Lin Hao were naturally excited when they heard that they had passed the test.
As for the process, they knew it better than anyone else. Even though they didn't understand why Elder Sun wanted to help them, they wouldn't be stupid enough to sell out themselves.
However, Lu Chen guessed that the reason why Elder Sun did this was probably because he was worried that the sect would hold him accountable for dereliction of duty.
It would be fine if Lu Chen and the other two died, because then there would be no evidence to prove Elder Sun's pursuit of Chiyan Yinlinpeng.
The key is that Lu Chen, Zhao Yansong and Lin Hao are not dead, so things become complicated and Elder Sun may even be implicated.
That's why Elder Sun came over specially to comfort Lu Chen and others.
As a result, the three of them passed the inner gate assessment in a confused manner.
As a result, Lu Chen officially became a member of the inner disciples of the Yuhua Sect.
A total of 180 disciples were admitted in this inner sect disciple assessment, and the remaining disciples who did not pass the assessment were still assigned to the outer sect.
After becoming an inner disciple, Lu Chen's life did not change much.
Although the inner sect of Yuhua Sect not only has more abundant cultivation resources, but also has many advanced skills and secret manuals that are difficult for outer sect disciples to access.
But Lu Chen didn't care too much about these.
With the help of Lan Caiyi, Lu Chen was assigned to a quiet courtyard in the inner gate.
The environment there is elegant, surrounded by green bamboo forests. A clear stream flows through the center of the courtyard, adding a bit of tranquility and peace.
Every morning, Lu Chen would meditate by the stream, absorbing the immortal energy between heaven and earth and practicing the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue.
This is an extremely heaven-defying martial art. As long as there is enough immortal spirit energy, it can allow cultivators to break through without bottlenecks. It also has powerful functions of analyzing and deriving all things.
As time went by, Lu Chen's cultivation level improved steadily, and he soon broke through to the middle stage of the Earth Immortal Realm.
Of course, in addition to practicing, Lu Chen also often participates in various activities and sermons organized by the sect.
These activities not only allow him to get to know more fellow students, but also enable him to learn a lot of practical knowledge and skills.
In particular, during a lecture on talismans, Lu Chen met an elder named Li Wenfu.
Elder Li Wenfu has a very high level of attainment in talismans. Lu Chen uses the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue and can always express unique insights.
As a result, the two of them soon became both teacher and friend. Elder Li Wenfu not only taught Lu Chen some advanced knowledge of talisman making, but also gave him several precious talisman books, which benefited Lu Chen a lot.
However, just as Lu Chen was gradually adapting to the life in the inner sect, a sudden storm broke the peace in the sect.
About a month later, Elder Wang, whom Lu Chen had met before, suddenly came to Lu Chen's residence and took him to the Miro Hall on the main peak of Yuhua Sect.
The Miro Hall is the most important meeting place in the Yuhua Sect and is not used unless there is a major event.
At this time, many old men with immortal looks had gathered in the hall. They were obviously people of high status, and the atmosphere on the scene was extremely solemn.
As soon as Lu Chen followed Elder Wang into the hall, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Especially when Lu Chen caught a glimpse of a tall, handsome man with sword-like eyebrows, sharp eyes, wearing a jade crown, who looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five.
A young monk dressed in a white robe, but his unique temperament could not be concealed.
Lu Chen suddenly felt a chill on his back, because that person was the peerless genius with a full ninth-level fire attribute spiritual root, and also Lu Chen's nemesis - Li Changlong.
"Oh no, could it be that this guy knew I was in Yuhua Sect and came here to cause trouble?"
Lu Chen muttered to himself. At the same time, he felt nervous, but he tried to stay calm and followed Elder Wang to the middle of the hall.
However, when Lu Chen caught a glimpse of Zhang Xuemei's father Zhang Huanzhi again, he felt that something was wrong.
At this moment, Elder Wang's voice suddenly came to my ears:
"Reporting to the Sect Master, the inner sect disciple Lu Chen has been brought here."
These words were like a thunder, exploding in the empty hall.
In an instant, the people who had been sitting quietly on both sides of the hall, as if under a spell, all cast their eyes on Lu Chen's slightly thin figure.
Lu Chen only felt that countless gazes were shooting at him like sharp arrows, making him the focus of the whole audience in an instant.
Faced with this sudden attention, his heart sank suddenly, and an indescribable feeling of uneasiness and anxiety quickly surged into his heart.
He wondered to himself, why did these people summon him here so abruptly? Was there some unknown conspiracy hidden in it? Or did the Zhang family discover something? Thinking of this, Lu Chen couldn't help but frowned slightly.
Although he was full of doubts and worries, Lu Chen decided to stay put for the time being and wait and see what tricks Li Changlong or Zhang Huanzhi would play.
So, he pretended to be calm, followed Elder Wang's gaze, slowly raised his head, and looked towards the center of the hall.
Sitting upright on the spacious and bright main seat was a middle-aged man with an imposing manner.
This man has a tall figure, a thin but resolute face, and a pair of eyes like the twinkling stars in the night sky, deep and bright; under the high nose bridge, his lips are slightly raised, revealing a faint smile; between his brows there exudes a unique aura that is both majestic and dignified yet amiable.
Without a doubt, this person is the powerful and famous leader of the Yuhua Sect - Lingkongzi.
Lingkongzi was wearing a light blue robe today, with his sleeves fluttering in the wind, as if he was an immortal descending to the earth.
The robe was carefully embroidered with several snow-white, flowing and lively cloud patterns, which added a touch of otherworldly and immortal aura to it.
At this moment, he was staring at Lu Chen with a sharp gaze, and his eyes seemed to contain endless meaning.
After a careful examination, Ling Kongzi finally spoke. His voice was low and magnetic, and he asked with unquestionable strength in a steady manner:
"Lu Chen, do you admit your guilt?"
