Zhang Chen smiled and shook his head, then led Nangong Xue into the cave.
The cave is not very deep, only about five or six meters.
The cave was empty, not a single person was there.
Zhang Chen and Nangong Xue continued to climb up the stairs.
Suddenly, a gust of dark wind blew, making both Zhang Chen and Nangong Xue shiver.
"Where is this place?"
After Zhang Chen saw the scene here, he felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.
"This should be where my old friend lives!"
The middle-aged man said calmly.
"Then let's leave quickly!"
Zhang Chen felt a little uneasy.
Because he feels that it is not simple here!
"Don't worry, stop first while I look around!" the middle-aged man said, stretching out his right hand and groping around the stone walls.
"Eh--? There's a mechanism here!"
After a while, the middle-aged man exclaimed.
"The mechanisms here are still in the shape of the Bagua Diagram. As long as you touch any stone in it, it will activate. It seems that there is something weird about this place!"
"Then what do we do?"
After Nangong Xue heard what the middle-aged man said, she suddenly panicked.
"Don't worry!" The middle-aged man smiled and told Nangong Xue to wait and see what happens, don't worry.
Seeing his mysterious look, Nangong Xue had no choice but to nod.
The middle-aged man's palm lightly tapped the stone wall, and suddenly the entire stone wall began to shake.
"Whoosh!"
As the mechanism on the stone wall was triggered, the originally dark cave became brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
"This cave is actually illuminated with luminous pearls!"
Looking at the scene in the cave, Nangong Xue said in surprise.
This was the first time she had seen this kind of thing.
"This mountain peak is a piece of meteorite from ancient times. Later, my teacher used special techniques to refine it into this cave. This is his old man's residence!" the middle-aged man introduced.
"What? A cave made of meteorite?"
Hearing the words "Meteorite", Zhang Chen's heart suddenly shook.
"This place is indeed extraordinary. He is worthy of being a god-level weapon refiner. He was able to forge a piece of meteorite iron into a cave and arrange it into a formation!"
At this time, three people suddenly walked out of the cave.
The leader was the beautiful woman in red from before.
The beautiful woman in red walked up to the middle-aged man and said respectfully: "Master, you are finally here!"
"Hahaha! Long time no see, Aunt Chen, how are you?"
The middle-aged man laughed.
When Chen Yue heard the other party calling her Aunt Chen, she felt depressed and looked a little ugly.
However, she is the concubine of a middle-aged man after all. No matter how much resentment she has in her heart, she can only suppress it.
"The master is joking, you are my master, how dare I call you Aunt Chen? Your daughter has become a young lady, I am just a servant!" Chen Yuepi said with a smile.
"snort!"
When the middle-aged man heard this, he snorted disdainfully.
"No matter what, you are still my aunt now, and I am still alive. When I die, you will be my wife. Who in this world can stop you?"
"Don't worry, I will definitely leave you a generous gift this time!"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Nangong Xue looked shy.
However, she was still quite happy.
After all, this also proves that her father has a crush on her.
Unlike before, she blindly avoided her father's feelings, which made her father feel very embarrassed.
Chen Yue was not easy to talk either, so she just smiled.
Seeing this, Zhang Chen secretly cursed this old fox.
"Dad, you are so bad, you actually molested my mother!" Nangong Xuejiao said angrily.
“Oh, you’ve protected your shortcomings so quickly, not bad!”

"Our Nangong family has good relations with the Li Mansion. From now on, you will have more contacts and take care of each other!"
As the middle-aged man spoke, he handed a ring to Zhang Chen and asked Zhang Chen to wear it in his left hand.
"Master!" Chen Yue was a little confused.
"What? No?" the middle-aged man glared.
"No, no!" Chen Yue shook her head quickly.
"This ring contains 10,000 spirit coins. It is a property that has been passed down by our family to this day. It will be given to you and Xue'er as a betrothal gift from now on!"
Zhang Chen was stunned and quickly waved his hand.
"Dad, you don't have to be so polite, I don't need a betrothal gift!"
He has never been in the habit of using other people's money to marry a wife.
Besides, even if he wants to marry a wife, he has to make a lot of money before he is qualified to propose marriage, otherwise he can only be a concubine!
"Haha, I have already prepared Xue'er's dowry!" The middle-aged man smiled faintly, then turned and left.
Chen Yue was startled, then immediately chased after him.
"Brother Zhang Chen, you are so amazing, you can actually find a treasure house!" Nangong Xue said with a smile.
"Haha, just good luck!"
Zhang Chen smiled modestly.
...
Two days passed quickly, and the next day, Zhang Chen and Nangong Xue took flying swords and headed towards Nanhuang City.
Nanhuang City is a huge city, ranking among the top in the entire Central Continent, and much stronger than Tianyuan County.
Nangong Xue's mother Chen Yue's natal family is a wealthy family in Nanhuang City.
Although Zhang Chen and Nangong Xue were both foreigners in Nanhuang City, in their eyes, none of this mattered.
The most urgent thing for them now is to rush to Nanhuang City and visit their father Nangong Tianhua.
"By the way, brother Zhang Chen, do you know where the ancestral temple of the Nangong family is?" Nangong Xue suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Ancestral Temple?"
Zhang Chen was stunned, and then remembered that there was indeed a Nangong family in Nanhuang City, but that family only existed in legends.
It is said that the Nangong family is a family left in the secular world in ancient times. The patriarch, Nangong Tianhua, was a god-level weapon refiner in ancient times. He was successful in practicing and was eventually promoted to the ancient alchemy master.
And the people of the Nangong family also became famous throughout ancient times.
At that time, the entire Tianyuan County was protected by the Nangong family.
Moreover, every hundred years, the Nangong family will send some personnel to explore the ancient times to find various treasures.
Zhang Chen and Nangong Xue took the Feijian and spent two days finally arriving at Nanhuang City.
At this moment, at the gate of Nanhuang City, Zhang Chen found a group of people blocking the place.
"Hey, do you know that that person is the champion of the last freshmen list, Zhang Chen!"
"Wasn't he expelled from Nanhuang City? How dare he come back?"
"What do you know? Let me tell you, the head of the Nangong family has already spoken. As long as Zhang Chen is willing to return to Nanhuang City, we will let him enter the Nangong Mansion!"
"This is real?"
"Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"Our Nangong family has suffered heavy losses this time. If Zhang Chen does not surrender, I am afraid that the foundation of the Nangong family will not be preserved!"
"Hey, I know very well what kind of person Zhang Chen is. It is absolutely impossible for him to give in unless he has enough chips!"
"You are stupid. Since he was kicked out of Nanhuang City, he is a loser. What leverage can he have?"
Everyone said something to you and me, and they kept talking.
And in the center of them, stood three old men, an old woman, and a young man wearing a purple robe.
The three of them were all wearing luxurious brocade clothes and had serious faces.
"Zhang Chen!"
Suddenly, the young man in purple robe spoke.
"Huh? Why did you call me?" Zhang Chen looked at him.
"Hmph, how dare you insult my apprentice!"
"I said, this matter has nothing to do with me!"
Zhang Chen looked at him coldly.
"You said it has nothing to do with you?"
The old man raised his eyebrows and his eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see through Zhang Chen and see Zhang Chen's true nature.
Unfortunately, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see through Zhang Chen's disguise.
"I was already present when your apprentice was injured. I am also a victim. How can you still default on your debt?" said the young man in purple robe.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Zhang Chen laughed angrily.
"Huh, you know it yourself!"
After the young man in purple robe finished speaking, he glanced at the old man next to him.
The old man nodded.
Zhang Chen saw that the old man's strength had reached the fourth level of the God Refining Realm!
"Well, since you are so confident, I will make a bet with you!"
Zhang Chen remembered that his storage ring contained many elixirs and several bottles of miraculous elixirs.
He thought about it and decided to use them as bets.
Because, if he really loses, he can still take some pills and put them up for auction!
Anyway, he no longer cares about those pills.
As long as he could save and cure his father, he didn't care about those things.
The young man in purple robe glanced at Zhang Chen, and then at the old man next to him.
"How to bet?"
"How do you want to bet?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"I want to compete with you in alchemy!"
"Alchemy? Okay!"
"However, I don't have time to play these games with you. I want to cure my father first!"
"You..." the purple-robed young man said angrily: "Zhang Chen, don't be too arrogant!"
"Arrogant?" Zhang Chen sneered.
"Do you think I dare not agree?"
"You dare?"
The young man in purple robe looked at Zhang Chen and sneered in his heart.
"Of course I dare!"
"Hahaha, Zhang Chen, you don't dare because you are afraid of losing. If you dare, compete with me now. If you win, how many pills do you want? Just take it and I will never stop you.
you!"
The young man in purple robe had a confident expression on his face, as if he was the winner of this bet.
"I want you to kneel down and apologize, then kowtow a hundred times, and compensate Xueer with ten top-quality spiritual stones!"
"What if you don't dare?"
"If I don't dare, I will twist your head off!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay!" Zhang Chen nodded.
"Hahaha!" The purple-robed young man suddenly laughed arrogantly.
"This guy is so arrogant!"
"Zhang Chen definitely wouldn't dare!"
"Who is this young man in purple robe? Why haven't I heard of him?"
People around were talking a lot.
"Hahaha!" The young man in purple robe laughed loudly: "Boy, I advise you to admit defeat as soon as possible, so as not to be embarrassed later and make me look down on you!"
"No need, if you think you can beat me, just do it!"
"Boy, since you are stubborn, I will first destroy your cultivation, then let others catch you, throw you to Nanhuang City, and then let everyone look at you. Let everyone in Nanhuang City see what kind of character you are.
!"
"Okay, let's do it!" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
He wanted to see what means this young man in purple robe could use to destroy him!
"Zhang Chen, you should be wiser. Our young master is the number one alchemist in Nanhuang City!" said another old man in Nanhuang City.
"So what about the number one alchemist? Is there anyone in your Southern Wasteland who can compete with him?" Zhang Chen sneered.
Although there are not many alchemists in Nanhuang City, they are not few either.
There is also an alchemy master among them!
"Boy, since you don't eat the toast and you get the penalty drink, then don't blame me for being rude!"
The young man in purple robe had a ferocious look on his face and waved his hand violently.
"Get started, capture Zhang Chen and take him away!"
Whoosh whoosh!
Suddenly, more than ten people behind him rushed over, a total of six or seven masters at the fifth level of the God Refining Realm and six or seven masters at the third level of the God Refining Realm.
"Are you from Nanhuang City?" Zhang Chen asked.
"Hmph, that's right, Zhang Chen, I tell you, you must die today!" the young man in purple robe said with a gloomy face.
"Oh? I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do!"
"Boy, suffer death!"
"Miss, run away!"
As these people spoke, they rushed forward.
When Zhang Chen saw this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He made a secret gesture with his hands and his body suddenly turned fiery red.
