Hua Qinfeng's white eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly: "You still dare to quibble? Don't even think about pretending to be innocent in front of me!"
"I'm not pretending, everything I said is true!" Chen Shen refused to let go.
"You...well, well, it seems that you won't shed tears when you see the coffin!"
Hua Qinfeng drank in a deep voice: "I want to ask you, have you said before that after feeling the turmoil around you, in order to avoid being affected by the flames of war, you gathered your profound strength and aura and hid at the bottom of the river?"
The young man nodded: "Yes, oh, I know! Do you doubt that I can't hold it in after hiding underwater for so long? If that's the case, then you may take it for granted."
"After all, my disciple has the cultivation level of the six-star Xuanwang realm. Although I can't get into your Dharma eyes, I can hold my breath underwater for two or three hours with my Xuan energy."
"Hmph! I'm not questioning your ability to hold your breath underwater, but the water pressure!"
Hua Qinfeng said in a deep voice: "You just said that in order not to reveal your identity, you concentrated your profound energy and hid it underwater. This is a big lie!"
"I just used my spiritual sense to explore it. The depth at the bottom of the river bed is generally about fifty feet."
"The cultivation world is no different from the secular world. The level of spiritual accumulation here is becoming more and more intense, so much so that the water pressure is several times higher than that of the secular world."
"Even if you are a six-star Xuan King, without using Xuan Qi to protect your body, your physical strength alone can withstand water depths of up to thirty feet. If you dive below thirty feet, you can stay in water for as long as a cup of tea.
It’s already the limit, how could you stay at the bottom of the river for so long?”
As soon as these words came out, Elder Xingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up and he echoed: "I said this kid is evil!"
"Elder Hua Qinfeng doesn't need to talk nonsense with him anymore, just beat him to death and capture him, and then interrogate him carefully when he returns to the sect!"
"Let me see who dares?"
Liu Ruyan raised her slender eyebrows, her face was as solemn as frost, and she took a slight step to protect Chen Shen behind her. The mysterious energy of the wind system stirred up her whole body!
Xing Zhi was stunned, and then he smiled solemnly: "Hahaha, Elder Liu is so impressive! Do you really think you are the true disciple of that year?"
"You are just an outer elder now, why are you shouting in front of us?"
Fawu also nodded: "That's right! If you persist in protecting that traitor?, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
At this time, Chen Shen suddenly took a few steps forward: "Hey, hey, you have to be reasonable when doing things. Just because Elder Hua Qinfeng felt that I couldn't hold my breath underwater for so long, he suspected that what I said was untrue and was a bit arbitrary.
Already?"
"Humph, I have seen how sharp your tongue is, but now that the facts are in front of you, do you still want to argue?" Xing Zhi said coldly.
"The facts are before us? Where are they?"
The young man scratched Xingzhi up and down with a look that looked like an idiot, and then said: "I will now let you see what the real 'facts' are!"
Having said that, he ignored Liu Ruyan's message and fell into the water.
Under the spiritual perception of the elders, he quickly swam to the bottom of the river, and then without any hesitation restrained the mysterious energy of thunder that possessed his body.
At the same time, Chen Shen wrapped a circle of water plants around his left foot to resist buoyancy, and then sat leisurely cross-legged under the detection of dozens of divine souls' perception.
"This...how is this possible?"
"He can really remove the body-protecting profound energy and withstand the water pressure of more than forty feet deep in the cultivation world with his physical body alone?"
Seeing the young man's calm expression, Hua Qinfeng couldn't help but feel stunned.
"Hiss—this little beast's physical body is so strong? Is he probably much stronger than me, the four-star Xuanhuang?" Xing Zhi's shock was not at all inferior to Hua Qinfeng's.
Even Liu Ruyan was shocked by this young man's strange behavior.
Her tall and round chest finally no longer rose and fell as violently as before, and she was worried that Chen Shen would do something stupid.
Naturally, they didn't know that Chen Shen's true cultivation level had already reached the six-star Xuanhuang realm.
The physical strength of a cultivator in this realm can easily withstand the water pressure of forty to fifty feet.
What's more, Chen Shen also has the power of the Huadiao Snake Tail in his body, which permanently increases his physical strength tenfold.
This "ten times" will increase as the level of mystical cultivation increases.
In other words, if he only compares his physical strength now, he is comparable to those at the peak of the Xuan Emperor, or even the one-star Xuan Zong realm cultivators!
After a brief silence, Chen Shen used his profound energy to fill his voice and said calmly: "Elder Xingzhi, do you understand? This is the truth."
"As for what you just said, it is completely arbitrary conjecture."
"You are one of the seven high-ranking ambassadors of the Punishment Hall. Didn't you always decide cases and execute sentences based on guesswork in the past?"
"Hey, I am a disciple of the Qingyun Sect. I am afraid that many of them have been wronged. Alas, I really feel sorry for them..."
Chen Shen's words made Xing Zhi feel as if he had eaten a piece of fly excrement, and he was extremely aggrieved.
The old guy finally found an excuse to kill Chen Shen, but in the end he slapped himself in the face.
Compared to Xing Zhi, whose face was bruised and red, Hua Qinfeng was much more free and easy. He nodded immediately: "Well, Chen Shen, this elder has misunderstood you. Come out."
"etc!"
Suddenly, Xing Zhi said something loudly, with a ferocious look on his old face: "Chen Shen, it doesn't matter if you can stay for just a moment. I have to hold my breath for at least an hour to prove that what you said at that time is true!"
"Otherwise, if you are pretending to be fine, wouldn't we all be fooled by you?"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan immediately stopped and said, "That's ridiculous! Chen Shen has not used his body-protecting profound energy at this moment. With our level of cultivation, can't we still detect whether there is any water pressure injury in his body?"
"Xingzhi, you are completely messing around!"
Xing Zhi snorted coldly: "Am I being so arrogant? I would like to ask, why did Elder Liu protect him so much? Is it possible that he is a thief with a guilty conscience?"
"This elder just noticed that before this kid jumped into the water, there were soul fluctuations around you and him."
"I suspect that you used the method of spiritual sound transmission to tell him some secret method that allowed him to resist the pressure underwater for a while!"
"You!" Liu Ruyan has never seen such a shameless person.
Chen Shen, who was under the water, waved his hands leisurely: "Elder Liu, there is no need to be angry. Since Elder Xingzhi still doesn't give up, what's the harm in the disciple staying at the bottom of the river for two hours?"
Xingzhi was overjoyed: "Okay, you said this yourself!"
Chen Shen nodded and then said: "Well, I just hope Elder Xingzhi won't regret it afterwards."
"What a joke, what do you have to regret?"
Chen Shen didn't answer him. He just closed his eyes and rested, with a mysterious smile on his lips...
