"Pretending to be mysterious."
Fu Qian sneered coldly, extrely dissatisfied with Chen Yan's attitude.
The status gap between the two of them was like that of a firefly compared to the bright moon.
Therefore, Fu Qian felt particularly annoyed by Chen Yan's showy attitude.
A re Body Forging Realm disciple, soone who could be crushed with a single breath—how dare he put on airs in front of ?
Just because your master is Lin Qifeng?
Even if Lin Qifeng ca personally, wouldn't that guy still have to respectfully call Uncle Fu?
The atmospheric pressure in Cangwu Residence suddenly dropped.
Chen Yan also understood exactly why Fu Qian felt dissatisfied, so he quickly explained:
"Elder, you've misunderstood. It's not that this disciple wants to pretend to be mysterious, but the crucial evidence isn't currently in my possession."
"Then where is it?"
Fu Qian asked.
"On an outer sect disciple nad Zhang Xishun."
Chen Yan replied.
"Zhang Xishun?"
Chu Xiyao, who had been listening to the conversation between Chen Yan and Fu Qian from the side, suddenly furrowed her brow:
"Is that the outer sect disciple who forfeited in the fourth round of today's outer court competition before officially starting his match with you?"
"Exactly."
Chen Yan said:
"I made an arrangent with Zhang Xishun to et at the empty space in front of the outer court market tonight at hai hour. That would be the perfect opportunity to capture him."
"I can help you capture him."
Chu Xiyao offered.
"Senior Sister Chu won't do."
Chen Yan shook his head in refusal.
"Why? A re Body Forging Realm disciple..."
As she spoke, Chu Xiyao suddenly paused for a mont.
She seed to understand why Chen Yan had co to see Elder Fu Qian.
"Your aning is that this outer sect disciple nad Zhang Xishun has suppressed his true cultivation level, and his actual cultivation surpasses Xiyao's."
Elder Fu Qian's fingers lightly tapped on the chessboard.
"Elder Fu is wise."
Chen Yan bowed respectfully.
"So you ca to borrow people from ."
Fu Qian stated.
"Yes."
"What kind of people do you want to borrow?"
"I hope to request two Qi Sea Realm seniors to assist in capturing Zhang Xishun together..."
Chen Yan didn't actually know what realm Zhang Xishun was at.
But since he could kill Chen Yan—who had already reached the early stage of Martial Spring Realm—with a single slap, his cultivation realm must definitely be above Qi Sea Realm.
As for anything higher, such as Spirit Connection Realm...
Chen Yan thought it was unlikely, almost impossible.
A Spirit Connection Realm cultivator!
That was truly a major power in every sense of the word.
Even in a behemoth like Kongshan Sect, which claid to be one of the Five Great Sects of Chenping Continent, they would be qualified to obtain an inner court elder position.
And there were only a few hundred Spirit Connection Realm cultivators in the entire Kongshan Sect.
If not in a super sect like Kongshan Sect, they would be revered by thousands wherever they went.
"......"
Fu Qian didn't imdiately agree or refuse, but continued staring at the chessboard before him.
Then, he slowly moved the black piece in his hand toward the board.
First moving toward the lower left corner of the board, then hesitating for a mont.
"Tap!"
Finally, the piece landed on the upper right corner of the board.
"I'll go personally."
Fu Qian said.
Both Chu Xiyao and Chen Yan's heartbeats almost stopped for a mont, then they began trying to process Fu Qian's words in their minds.
"...Personally?"
Chu Xiyao's brain seed to short-circuit:
"Elder Fu, you an..."
"Is this difficult to understand? I want to personally capture that outer sect disciple nad Zhang Xishun."
Fu Qian said.
According to Chen Yan's account, this self-proclaid outer sect disciple Zhang Xishun should have cultivation above Qi Sea Realm.
To capture a Qi Sea Realm cultivator, sending only Qi Sea Realm cultivators wouldn't be sufficiently reliable.
The possibility of escape was too high, and there was also the risk of alerting the enemy.
If that happened, getting similar opportunities in the future would be extrely difficult.
All the Spirit Connection Realm cultivators on the peak were elders, not people Fu Qian could casually order around—the best outco would still an owing soone a favor.
Given this situation, it would be better to capture him personally.
Fu Qian was a Myriad Transformations Realm cultivator, the sixth of the nine major realms beneath immortality, and the third realm of the middle three realms.
True energy undergoes myriad transformations, the great path has countless variations.
Currently, Fu Qian had cultivated 2,563 strands of innate true energy.
When he cultivated ten thousand strands of innate true energy, he would truly reach the threshold for breaking through to the upper three realms.
"Elder..."
Chen Yan was also sowhat stunned. He never expected Fu Qian to personally take action.
This was the Martial Elder, the third most powerful figure on Qingchan Peak!
Even when looking at the entire Kongshan Sect, Elder Fu Qian was absolutely ranked among the notable figures!
"Boy, I'll trust you this once."
Fu Qian said:
"If I don't get the results I want, I'll personally drag you to Fate Inquiry Hall to confront that guy Lin Qifeng and hold you accountable. When that ti cos, no one will be able to protect you!"
"...This disciple understands."
Chen Yan showed a bitter smile.
...
Kongshan Sect, Outer Court,
Empty space in front of the market, exactly at hai hour.
Chen Yan's figure slowly appeared on one side of the empty space, while Zhang Xishun had already been waiting here.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Chen Yan said.
"Not at all, I just arrived not long ago myself!"
Zhang Xishun fawned with a flattering smile:
"Rather, it's Senior Brother Chen who's worked hard, having to co so late to guide through my cultivation confusions."
"This is what I should do."
Chen Yan said with a smile.
"What you should do?"
Zhang Xishun raised his head, looking strangely at Chen Yan. For so reason, he found Chen Yan's smile sowhat unsettling.
Probably just an illusion because it was so dark.
"Senior Brother, I've now reached the late stage of Body Forging Realm, getting closer and closer to the stage of opening ridians and drawing true energy..."
It was the sa script as the previous cycle, almost word for word.
Apparently this was all prepared in advance.
Sa as the previous cycle, Chen Yan answered each of Zhang Xishun's questions one by one.
And after resolving all the questions, it was ti for farewell again.
"I heard that Senior Brother has recently been investigating the matter of Steward Song from rit Hall?"
Zhang Xishun suddenly said.
Here it cos.
"That's right, I am indeed investigating Steward Song's matter..."
Chen Yan pretended to hesitate:
"Junior Brother Zhang, regarding what I'm about to tell you, could you promise not to ntion it to others?"
"Of course, I will definitely keep senior brother's secret!"
Zhang Xishun answered decisively.
"Steward Song didn't leave the sect—he was murdered. This matter is only known to the higher-ups throughout the entire outer court."
"Such a thing actually happened!"
Zhang Xishun pretended to be shocked.
"Then, in Steward Song's secret room, I found a list. Strangely enough, Junior Brother Zhang's na was actually on this list. To be honest, it was precisely because I wanted to ask you what this is all about that I agreed to your request."
Chen Yan said.
"No matter, it's all no matter!"
Zhang Xishun waved his hand:
"I wonder, Senior Brother Chen, if you could let take a look at that list?"
"Of course."
Chen Yan agreed.
Then, he reached his hand toward his chest—
"It's with ."
Fu Qian's voice sounded from behind Zhang Xishun.
