Zhang Chen paused and said, "If you are said to be highly talented in martial arts, it only proves that you are a piece of jade. If you lack training, your sword skills can only be regarded as half a bucket of water."
"Although your swordsmanship is good, in my eyes, it is a bit lacking." Zhang Chen criticized Lin Qianxue's swordsmanship unceremoniously. He had sufficient understanding of swordsmanship.
Listening to Zhang Chen's words, Lin Qianxue's face became more and more embarrassed.
Mo Yan and Mo Yu on the side glared at Zhang Chen, as if they wanted to scratch Zhang Chen's skin and cramp him.
But due to the presence of Lin Zhengran and others, they suppressed their anger.
"Sect Master, please allow Zhang Chen to accept Qianxue as his disciple." Zhang Chen turned to Lin Zhengran and said.
Lin Zhengran frowned, "Zhang Chen, are you too impatient? Although Qianxue's talent is not top-notch, it is far beyond that of her peers."
"Qianxue, are you willing to be his apprentice?" Lin Zhengran looked at Qianxue and asked.
Lin Qianxue said hesitantly, "Grandpa..."
Lin Zhengran waved his hand and said: "Qianxue, if you recognize Zhang Chen as your master, you will be his nominal sister."
"Okay." Lin Qianxue nodded helplessly.
"Are you willing?"
"I do."
Lin Qianxue agreed very simply, as if she was supposed to become Zhang Chen's disciple.
A smile appeared on Zhang Chen's lips. He did not expect Lin Zhengran to agree.
"Thank you." Zhang Chen said sincerely, "Although Qianxue's talent is not as good as mine, I will do my best to cultivate her."
Qianxue's talent is ordinary, there is no doubt about it.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will have no hope of entering the True Element Realm in this life.
However, since Lin Zhengran agreed to accept Lin Qianxue as his disciple, there must be a way to help Lin Qianxue enter the true essence realm.
Lin Qianxue is from Xuanyang Sect, and Zhang Chen has the obligation to help.
Lin Zhengran looked at Zhang Chen with relief and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Qianxue is the hope of my Xuanyang Sect, and I will naturally not stand idly by."
Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Since the sect master said so, Zhang Chen will leave."
"Wait a minute!" Lin Zhengran stopped Zhang Chen and took out a storage ring and handed it to him, "This is your reward."
"Thank you, sect master, for the reward." Zhang Chen did not refuse and took it directly.
This is a fourth-level space storage ring.
The space inside is very spacious, and various elixirs and exercises are also stored.
"Zhang Chen, as soon as you enter the door, go to the deacon hall to pick up the disciples' clothing." After Lin Zhengran gave the instructions, he also told several peak leaders, "You all remember, don't publicize this matter to the outside world, I'm afraid Zhang Chen won't get used to it.
"
Everyone nodded in unison to express their understanding.
Immediately, Zhang Chen led Mo Yan and Mo Yu towards the deacon hall.
In the Deacon Hall, there were three young men wearing standard robes, and one of them was Li Donghua.
"Hey, the newcomer is finally here?" Li Donghua saw Zhang Chen and taunted him in a strange way.
Zhang Chen glanced at him and said, "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Li Donghua curled his lips and said, "It's you, why did you come to Xuanyang Sect?"
Zhang Chen shrugged and said helplessly: "When you join the sect, you naturally come to Xuanyang Sect to learn skills."
"Haha, joining the sect is amazing." Li Donghua snorted and said, "What do you think Xuanyang Sect is? People like you are not worthy of joining Xuanyang Sect. Sooner or later, they will die in the battle.
, I don’t know how high the sky and the earth are.”
"Our relationship is not as good as that of ordinary senior brothers and sisters." Zhang Chen said lightly.
"Zhang Chen, what did you say!" Li Donghua shouted, his cheeks turned red, and he glared at Zhang Chen angrily.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Zhang Chen smiled disdainfully, "If I were you, I would have quit Xuanyang Sect long ago. Why should I continue to stay in Xuanyang Sect to embarrass myself and waste the sect's resources? Don't you think it's embarrassing for me?
I still feel embarrassed, there is no need for a waste like you to stay in Xuanyang Sect."
"Zhang Chen, who are you calling a loser?!" Li Donghua roared, clenching his fists and staring at Zhang Chen angrily.
"You know who you call a loser." Zhang Chen said, "I remind you again, don't mess with me."
After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he left the deacon hall.
"Asshole! Asshole! Zhang Chen, how dare you insult me, I won't let you go!" Li Donghua roared angrily, with a ferocious look on his face.
"Li Donghua, are you crazy?"
Another young man on the side grabbed Li Donghua and warned him, "Zhang Chen is the second new disciple, and he is more powerful than us. You are not your opponent, so don't be impulsive!"
"He is only at the eighth level of body tempering. What are you afraid of? We are all newcomers. Can he be stronger than you?" Li Donghua glared fiercely at Zhang Chen's disappearing back.
"Of course I'm not afraid."
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes flashing coldly, "If he fights against me, I will definitely let him lose miserably, but we must first find out who he is and what his origin is."
"I think he is the illegitimate son of a certain elder." Li Donghua sneered.
"I feel like he is the son of a powerful person." Another newcomer also agreed.
"No matter what his identity is, in short, he is my enemy. For this reason, I must teach him a lesson, otherwise I will have no face in the future."
After saying that, Li Donghua threw up his sleeves and left, chasing Zhang Chen straight away.
On the other side, Lin Zhengran warned Lin Qianxue: "Zhang Chen is a sword cultivator, you must pay attention to safety when following him."
Lin Zhengran didn't like fighting and fighting, so he chose to let Lin Qianxue follow Zhang Chen to avoid danger.
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will be careful." Lin Qianxue nodded and said.
…
Zhang Chen was walking on the road when he suddenly heard a noise coming from ahead.
He walked along and found hundreds of people gathered in front of him, their eyes focused in one direction.
In the center of the crowd lay a corpse.
Zhang Chen quickly squeezed in and found that the body was no stranger to him.
This is the body of Lin Haiyang. His chest was stabbed with a sharp weapon. It was obviously a sneak attack.
Lin Haiyang is the direct grandson of the Lin family and Lin Zhengran's only grandson. He died unexpectedly. One can imagine Lin Zhengran's mood.
Around him, some Lin family disciples were discussing in low voices.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lin Haiyang's parents were Lin Zhengran's right-hand men. Lin Haiyang was killed. How can we not avenge this!"
"Not only do we need to avenge Lin Haiyang, we also need to find the murderer!"
…
The sound of discussion reached Zhang Chen's ears. Zhang Chen looked up and saw that a disciple had died in front of the deacon hall, causing a commotion.
People from the Lin family have surrounded the scene, looking like they are facing a formidable enemy.
"Master, the head of the Lin family." A deacon came over and saluted respectfully.
Lin Zhengran pondered for a moment and then asked: "Have you ever found out the reason?"
"Reporting to the head of the family, Lin Haiyang was killed with a single knife. The weapon used by the murderer was the Heisha Dao, which is a unique weapon of the Xuanyang Sect."
Xuanyang Sect has established two punishment halls, among which the punishment hall is in charge of the entire Xuanyang Sect’s criminal affairs.
The deacon of the Punishment Hall said that Lin Haiyang died as a result of Xuanyang Sect’s punishment.
"Xuanyang Sect?"
"What a coincidence, his surname is also Lin..." Zhang Chen touched his nose and fell into deep thought.
Is it really because of myself?
When Lin Haiyang died, he happened to be in the Deacon Hall, and he was still holding a black sword.
Zhang Chen shook his head, temporarily ruling out his doubts.
After all, he and Lin Haiyang have never met each other, and they have never even exchanged a word, let alone any grudges.
"Black evil sword?" Lin Zhengran nodded slightly, "It seems that my guess was wrong."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Lin Qianxue looked at Lin Zhengran strangely.
Lin Zhengran explained: "This black evil sword is the treasure of the Xuanyang Sect. It is extremely powerful. Once the black evil sword is activated, it can cut mountains and rivers into pieces. It is astonishingly powerful!"
"The status of the Black Evil Sword in Xuanyang Sect is equivalent to that of a nuclear weapon. Only the sect leader can possess it. Zhang Chen is only the second newly promoted disciple. How can he have a weapon like the Black Evil Sword."
Listening to Lin Zhengran's explanation, everyone nodded.
"It's a pity that Young Master Haiyang died unjustly!" An elder from the Lin family sighed, and his tears couldn't help falling.
"Alas, Haiyang was too reckless, and someone took advantage of him. However, the man named Zhang Chen is also responsible." Lin Qianxue shook her head gently.
Although she and Zhang Chen are both disciples of Xuanyang Sect, they have no connection with each other.
"Qianxue, do you know Zhang Chen?" Lin Zhengran suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Lin Qianxue nodded.
Lin Zhengran frowned slightly and asked, "Does Zhang Chen have any bad habits?"
"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Lin Qianxue blushed and said shyly.
Lin Zhengran smiled awkwardly and did not ask any further questions. He turned around and said, "Let's end today's matter."
Lin Qianxue looked at the direction Zhang Chen left with a worried look on her face. She murmured to herself: "Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen, I hope you won't become a playboy disciple in the future."
…
Zhang Chen left with Mo Long and returned to his residence.
"Zhang Chen!" As soon as he approached his residence, he bumped into Zhang Chen's uncle, Zhang Haoyu.
"Uncle." Zhang Chen called out.
"Yes." Zhang Haoyu responded, and then asked: "Did you just come out of the deacon hall?"
"Yes." Zhang Chen nodded.
"Why are you going to the Deacon Hall?" Zhang Haoyu asked, frowning.
He is not familiar with his nephew, because Zhang Chen is the son of his third uncle, and his third uncle is not in the family, so he rarely interacts with him. However, Zhang Haoyu knows that his third uncle values Zhang Chen very much, and Zhang Chen also values it very much.
Excellent and gifted.
Zhang Chen looked around and saw no one, so he lowered his voice and said, "I went to the Deacon Hall to collect the spiritual stones. Last night, the Deacon Hall sent thirty middle-grade spiritual stones, and I took them all."
Zhang Chen did not tell Zhang Haoyu that he deliberately provoked Lin Haiyang.
Zhang Haoyu was startled and looked at Zhang Chen with a strange expression.
"Does our Zhang family have no money? Why do we receive so many spiritual stones?" Zhang Haoyu asked in confusion.
Zhang Chen scratched his head and said: "Because Lin Haiyang robbed my jade pendant, which caused me to break the sect's rules, I have to be punished. The Deacon Hall gave me a reward, which is considered a punishment for me."
"Lin Haiyang robbed you of your jade pendant?" Zhang Haoyu was extremely surprised, "How is this possible? Lin Haiyang has a gentle personality and would never do such a thing!"
"That's true." Zhang Chen shrugged, expressing his helplessness.
Zhang Chen did not lie. When he was practicing in the house last night, Lin Haiyang did snatch his jade pendant.
Lin Haoyu was dubious, but since the matter had nothing to do with him, he didn't bother to pay attention.
"By the way, uncle, I have to go into seclusion for a few days to practice. I'm leaving first." After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave.
"Wait!"
"What's the matter, uncle?" Zhang Chen stopped and turned to look at Zhang Haoyu.
Zhang Haoyu hesitated for a moment and said: "Lin Haiyang is my brother's child. If possible, try to help Lin Haiyang."
Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, turned around and left.
Lin Haiyang is a member of the Lin family, Zhang Chen cannot just sit idly by.
"Senior Brother Zhang is so handsome!" A woman said infatuatedly as she looked at Zhang Chen walking away.
"He must be an outer disciple, otherwise why would he go to the Deacon Hall? However, he dared to kill senior brother Lin Haiyang. He must have been too courageous."
"Haha, what if you are brave? He will definitely die this time. Senior Brother Lin Haiyang is the top disciple of Xuanyang Sect and is only an outside disciple. How can he be his opponent?"
Everyone was talking a lot, saying that Lin Haiyang was an inner disciple and they couldn't afford to offend him at all.
Zhang Chen was not interested in hearing what they said and walked straight towards his yard.
"stop!"
As soon as I got halfway, I was stopped by someone.
"Did you cause Lin Haiyang's injury?" The person blocking the road was none other than Lin Haiyang's guard Zhao Yong. He stared at Zhang Chen with cold eyes and an aggressive aura.
"It's me." Zhang Chen smiled lightly.
"Hmph! Your kid is dead. Come with me back to the sect to face trial!" After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he grabbed Zhang Chen with a wave of his hand and rushed towards the sect.
Zhang Chen sighed as he walked.
It seems that I have to be careful in the future. If I encounter a strong person, I am afraid that I will be unlucky.
However, Zhang Chen was quite happy in his heart, because this time the Law Enforcement Hall did not ask the Lin family to compensate, otherwise he might not have the spiritual stones to buy the soul-condensing pill.
The Soul Condensing Pill is a holy medicine for healing, it is very valuable, and it is only available in the Law Enforcement Hall.
Soon, the two arrived at the Deacon Hall. As soon as they entered, they saw Lin Haiyang lying on the bed.
Lin Haiyang's wounds have been treated long ago, and he is leaning leisurely on the bed.
After seeing Zhang Chen, his eyes narrowed, revealing a ruthless look.
Zhang Chen felt chilled all over his body, as if he was in an icy hell, with chills running down his spine.
Lin Haiyang did not take action immediately. He wanted Zhang Chen to die in pain and fear.
Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and clenched his fists loudly. He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and waited for the interrogation.
Soon, a group of elders from the Lin family arrived. They looked at Zhang Chen angrily. If looks could kill, Zhang Chen would have died countless times by now.
"Zhang Chen, you dare to beat up an inner disciple, you are so insane!" One of the old men with a white beard shouted sharply, pointed at Zhang Chen, and asked loudly.
"That's right, Zhang Chen, you still dare to come back, is it because you don't take the sect seriously?!" Another old man was also filled with indignation.
Zhang Chen smiled coldly, glanced around, and finally locked his eyes on Lin Zhennan, who was leisurely smoking a pipe beside him.
He said coldly: "Elders, I did not beat Lin Haiyang."
"Fart!" At this time, Lin Zhennan, who had been silent all the time, slammed his pipe on the table and cursed sternly: "You still dare to quibble, it's obvious that you used dark energy to hurt Haiyang!"
"Uncle, don't frame me falsely." Zhang Chen looked innocent.
Although he didn't bother to lie, this matter was indeed not his fault.
"Hmph!" Lin Zhennan snorted coldly and said, "Lin Haiyang has already told the cause and effect of the matter. It was you who used your secret power to sneak attack on him."
"If you don't believe it, you can go to the deacon hall and ask the deacon!" Zhang Chen said with a cold smile.
