"Do you believe he won't talk nonsense? Is there a way to solve the hidden dangers of our sect?"
"More than a dozen strong men from our sect joined forces, as well as three strong men from the Yuxiao Sect, but they were unable to suppress the vicious remnant soul.
He is just a teenage boy, and you actually believe his lies?
You just seek medical treatment in a hurry!"
Seeing the two deacons helping Chu Tianchen speak for Chu Tianchen, several deacons from Nanliyuan immediately retorted with a very sarcastic tone.
The deacons who protected the mountain did not dare to show weakness and argued with each other.
"Right now, the sect master and the elders are at a loss, and the three powerful men of the Yuxiao Sect are also at a loss.
Are we going to sit back and wait for the evil spirit to break through the seal and start a killing spree in this sect?"
"What we should do now is to go all out to seek opportunities to resolve the crisis.
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you should never give up!"
Seeing that several deacons were a little excited and feared that they might get into a quarrel if they continued arguing, the elder Hushan quickly spoke up and made a conclusion.
"quiet!"
Several deacons immediately became quiet and turned to look at the elder protecting the mountain.
The elder who protects the mountain said calmly: "The top priority is that we must find ways to relieve the sect's worries and try to find ways to eliminate hidden dangers.
Although Chu Tianchen's words were a bit arrogant, he must have something to rely on if he dared to speak boldly.
Regardless of whether he is capable, or the forces or experts behind him are powerful, as long as we can help our sect, we cannot miss the opportunity!"
Seeing that Elder Nanli was a little unhappy and seemed to want to interrupt, Elder Hushan added: "Don't worry, everyone, we can meet him first and test him.
If he can pass the test, we will take him to meet the sect leader and make suggestions for our sect.
If he can't even pass our test, let him go!
Anyway, we are just wasting some time, there will be no loss."
After saying that, he looked sideways at Elder Nanli beside him and asked: "Elder Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Shiqing, the elder of Nanli Dean, is a little older. He looks about sixty years old, and his temples are already gray.
Seeing that Elder Hushan's words were very thoughtful and gave him face, he could not refute them anymore.
Then, Xu Shiqing nodded slightly and said, "What the elder protecting the mountain said makes sense. We all want to help the sect solve its problems, so naturally we cannot let go of any opportunity.
However, it is up to Nanliyuan to test Chu Tianchen."
The elder of the mountain guard had no objection to this. He nodded with a smile and told the guard captain: "It is said that Chu Tianchen is here."
The guard captain said yes and quickly turned around and left.
Several deacons in Nanliyuan began to discuss among themselves.
"Chu Tianchen, who is known as the number one genius in the Qianchuan Ancient Territory, must be arrogant and arrogant and does not live up to his reputation. We have to give him a blow and make him suffer a little!"
"That's right! If you dare to speak nonsense in this sect, you must make him stumble and lose face today!"
"Don't our two chief disciples of Nanli Academy want to cross the inner courtyard and directly become true disciples?
I just want to take this opportunity to test them and let them give Chu Tianchen a hard beating."
"What a great idea! The two chief disciples have already broken through to the realm of princes. It will definitely be easy to teach Chu Tianchen a lesson."
"Send the order immediately and ask Gu Ren and Liu Qingshuang to be here on standby!"
Several deacons discussed for a while and quickly reached a consensus.
…
Outside the mountain gate of Nanli Peak.
Chu Tianchen, Chu Xiner and Ling Shuangyue were still standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the mountains in the distance.
Ling Shuangyue silently estimated the time and couldn't help frowning.
"Brother Tianchen, there's only a quarter of an hour left and it's half an hour.
Why hasn’t the guard captain come back yet?”
Chu Xiner also asked with some worry: "The people of Qingshan Sword Sect have always set their sights on the highest level. Could it be that they are arrogant and shut us out?"
Chu Tianchen waved his hand and showed a confident smile.
"It is precisely because the people of Qingshan Sword Sect think highly of themselves that when they hear what I said, they will definitely meet us.
After all, their pride and self-esteem will never allow me to challenge the majesty of Qingshan Sword Sect.
They will definitely meet me and try their best to make things difficult for me and embarrass me.
What's more, the matter of the evil spirit's remaining soul is of great importance.
They are in dire straits, and they dare not give up even if there is a glimmer of hope."
Seeing his expression so determined, Chu Xiner and Ling Shuangyue felt much more at ease.
As expected.
After just a few breaths, the guard captain left and returned, flying behind Chu Tianchen and the others.
"Mr. Chu, Elder Hushan invites you to meet at Nanli Palace."
Compared to before, the guard captain's posture was more respectful.
"Yes." Chu Tianchen nodded with satisfaction, took Chu Xiner and Ling Shuangyue across the mountain gate, and flew towards the top of the mountain.
On the way up the mountain, Chu Xiner sent a message to remind: "Brother, we are not familiar with Qingshan Sword Sect, and we don't know how they will make things difficult for you.
You must be on guard against others, you must be careful."
Chu Tianchen said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, the soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us.
If I can't even pass their difficulties and tests, how can they believe that I have the ability to suppress the evil spirits?"
As they spoke, the three of them climbed to the top of the mountain and landed outside the gate of Nanli Palace.
Chu Tianchen entered the main hall of Nanli Palace first and saw that more than a dozen warriors had gathered in the spacious and bright hall.
Standing at the head of the hall were two old men in purple robes.
A man with gray hair on his temples and a thin body was none other than Nanli Dean Xu Shiqing.
The other one is tall, has a majestic face, is about fifty years old, and is the elder who protects the mountain.
On the left and right sides of the main hall, there were eight deacons wearing black robes, all of whom were in the princely realm.
In addition, there was a young man and woman in the crowd, both wearing standard white robes with the emblem of Nanliyuan embroidered on their chests.
The man was about twenty-six years old, tall and handsome, but his aura was sinister and his eyes were cold and sharp.
The woman is about twenty-five years old, tall, with a delicate face and a somewhat arrogant temperament.
These two people are the chief disciples of Nanli Academy.
The chief male is named Gu Ren, and he has the third level of strength in the princely realm.
The female lead is named Liu Qingshuang, and she is at the second level of the Prince Realm.
Chu Tianchen's eyes swept over everyone, and he stepped into the hall with a calm expression and stood still in the hall.
"Your Excellency, Chu Tianchen, has met the elders of Hushan and the elders of Nanli Dean."
Chu Tianchen bowed his hands to the mountain guardian elder and Xu Shiqing, his posture neither humble nor arrogant.
Chu Xiner and Ling Shuangyue stood behind him and saluted with him, looking indifferent.
"Qi collection realm??"
Xu Shiqing looked at Chu Tianchen intently and immediately frowned, with a flash of suspicion in his eyes.
"Are you really Chu Tianchen?
How can someone who dares to claim to be the number one genius in the Qianchuan Ancient Territory be an ant in the Qi Gathering Realm?"
Not only Xu Shiqing was in disbelief, but the mountain guardian elder, the eight deacons and Liu Qingshuang also showed astonishment, and they all frowned and thought.
At this time, Gu Ren, who looked gloomy, suddenly said: "Elder Xu doesn't know something. Chu Tianchen is a cunning and insidious person. He deliberately disguises his strength and wants to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger!"
"Huh?" Xu Shiqing glanced at Gu Ren in surprise.
He originally wanted to ask Gu Ren why he was hostile and murderous towards Chu Tianchen.
However, it was inconvenient to ask this matter in public, so he had to suppress the doubts in his heart.
Chu Tianchen glanced at Gu Ren and felt a little confused.
"I have never met this person, so why is he hostile and murderous towards me without concealing it?"
Thinking of this, he asked Gu Ren: "My dear friend, this is the first time we met, why did you slander me?
Have I killed your family?
Or steal your sweetheart?"
Chu Xiner and Ling Shuangyue both raised their eyebrows, pursed their lips tightly, and tried not to laugh.
Everyone in Qingshan Sword Sect showed anger, and their opinion of Chu Tianchen was extremely bad.
Especially Gu Ren, his face twitched, veins popped up on his forehead, and his eyes turned scarlet.
Full of anger boiling in his chest, his blood surged, and he almost couldn't help but draw his sword on the spot.
Fortunately, the mountain guardian elder spoke in time and defused the tense atmosphere.
"Chu Tianchen, you came to visit our sect to help our sect eliminate hidden dangers.
We can just get right to the point, so why do you need to hurt others with bad words?"
Chu Tianchen showed a hint of sneer and said in a playful tone: "Since the elder protecting the mountain knows that I am here to help you, why does your sect still have such an attitude?
Shouldn't we be treated with extra courtesy and treated as honored guests?
Why are you so slanderous and so tense when we meet?
Is this the Qingshan Sword Sect’s way of hospitality?”
"Extreme courtesy? Treat me as a distinguished guest?" Gu Ren became even more angry and cursed through gritted teeth: "You deserve it too..."
Before he could finish his words, the mountain guarding elder scolded him sternly: "Shut up!"
Gu Ren had no choice but to shut up, suppressing his anger, and his fists clenched loudly.
Chu Tianchen took a deep look at Gu Ren and vaguely guessed something.
At this time, the elder protecting the mountain said calmly: "Chu Tianchen, we don't need to argue with each other, let's get straight to the point.
I would like to ask you, you have nothing to do with our sect, why do you want to help us?"
Chu Tianchen replied without thinking: "With the intelligence network of Qingshan Sword Sect, we should have heard the news a long time ago.
Not long ago, I fought my way back to the Great Chu Holy Land to avenge Chu Qingcang, who was seeking power and usurping the throne.
Chu Qingcang has become possessed by a demon, and the backer behind him is a mysterious demon.
In that battle, I severely wounded the demon, but he was wounded and escaped.
I have been chasing that demon, and after many rounds of investigation, I found out that the seal of the Qingshan Sword Sect was loosened, and the remnant soul of the evil demon was about to break out of the seal.
According to the clues I have, the loosening of the Qingshan Sword Sect's seal is most likely related to that demon.
Therefore, I want to help Qingshan Sword Sect eliminate hidden dangers and kill the devil's conspiracy.
The most important thing is that the demons are the life and death enemies of our clan.
It is the duty and responsibility of a warrior to eliminate demons and protect the Tao!
I do this not only for the more than 10,000 people of the Qingshan Sword Sect, but also for the safety of the entire Qianchuan Ancient Territory!"
Chu Tianchen's words were half true and half false, but his words were righteous, his tone was sonorous and powerful, and his momentum was extremely powerful.
After hearing this, the mountain guardian elders and several deacons could not help but admire him.
Even Liu Qingshuang, who was cold and arrogant, couldn't help but look at him a few more times, a small wave of waves flashed in her eyes.
