33: Elders in person

"Which Lu Chen is it?"

The two Elders from Danxia Peak and Zhubing Peak looked at Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu, who were drawing swords, their Aura soaring to the heavens, ready to fight at any moment. Then they looked at the old Elder from Wudao Peak, who had silently taken out a communication jade slip.

For a moment, they fell into hesitation.

How about joining the fun?

They didn't know him, but everyone else was snatching him up, so he must be good. If Danxia Peak and Zhubing Peak didn't try to snatch him, it would feel like a huge loss!

After thinking about it, the Elders of the two peaks finally put the communication jade slips they had taken out back.

Forget it, one refines pills, one refines artifacts. Why join in the fun blindly? Just watch the show obediently.

It's just this Lu Chen, he seems truly not simple!

The gazes of the two Elders from Danxia Peak and Zhubing Peak swept past Wang Shoulu and Bai Li Xiong, who were still glaring at each other, and looked towards Lu Chen, who was also secretly watching the show but pretending to be completely bewildered.

His acting wasn't very good; his innocent and bewildered act was a bit lacking, and he couldn't quite suppress the corners of his mouth.

Look at the Disciple behind Lu Chen, that's the reality. He was already sweating profusely, his entire person radiating fear from inside out, completely panicked. More importantly, the terrifying Aura of Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu was already making it difficult for this Disciple to breathe.

But looking at Lu Chen again, he seemed completely unaffected by the terrifying Aura of Xuan Fa Realm existences like Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu. Whether physically or spiritually, he didn't seem to be affected at all.

"Comprehending True Intent can strengthen the spirit. The lowest Qi Cultivation Realm should be Penetrating Aperture to withstand the pressure of the Xuan Fa Realm physically. This Lu Chen's comprehension of True Intent should be at least at the second layer! But his Qi Cultivation Realm is clearly only at the Early Stage of Spirit Transformation Realm, so how does his Physical Body remain unaffected?"

Could it be that this Lu Chen's Physical Body is also extremely powerful?

He entered the Sect less than four months ago, his True Intent comprehension is at least at the second layer, and his Qi Cultivation Realm has entered the Early Stage of Spirit Transformation. Does he still have time to practice Body Refinement?!

The more the two Elders from Danxia Peak and Zhubing Peak looked, the tighter their brows furrowed!

This Lu Chen, he's formidable, truly formidable!

No wonder he attracted the open and covert snatching of the three Elders from Doujian Peak, Mingjing Peak, and even Wudao Peak. What they saw might only be the tip of the iceberg of Lu Chen's full strength, but even so, it was already enough to shock people!

"Bai Li brute, do you really want to snatch someone from my Mingjing Peak?" The Wind-Fire Divine Dragon coiled above Wang Shoulu's head became increasingly terrifying. He slightly narrowed his eyes. Although it was inappropriate for Inner Sect Assessment Hall Elders to fight on the spot, he still had the urge to beat Bai Li Xiong down.

This guy clearly knew nothing about Lu Chen, yet he insisted on interfering. It was truly infuriating.

"Outer Sect Disciples promoting to Inner Sect, all six peaks of the Inner Sect have the responsibility to recruit Disciples. Is your Mingjing Peak managing the Law Enforcement Hall so impressive? Junior Brother Lu hasn't even been assessed yet, and your Mingjing Peak wants to snatch him? I don't care about other peaks, but Doujian Peak won't indulge you! If you want to snatch him, pass through me first!" Bai Li Xiong's burly physique was extremely oppressive, and the Blood Qi Divine Spirit behind him was even more majestic, even showing a tendency to crush the image of the Wind-Fire Divine Dragon above Wang Shoulu's head.

"Pitter-patter, pitter-patter!" A series of footsteps sounded. The Disciples who came for assessment outside swarmed over, sneakily crowding by the door to watch the fun.

"What's going on? The Elders of the Assessment Hall are about to fight?"

"It looks like they're snatching someone!"

"Which Outer Sect Disciple is so awesome? He hasn't even entered the Inner Sect yet but can provoke Xuan Fa Realm Elders to fight? Is he a reincarnated immortal?"

"Don't be jealous. Someone who can provoke Xuan Fa Realm Elders to fight and snatch them, how bad could they be? Be careful, I'll tear your dog mouth off!"

That jealous Disciple was startled and immediately covered his mouth.

Also, assessment Disciples who had already entered through the doors behind several Elders, as well as assessment Elders, poked their heads out from behind the doors.

"So it's the most hot-tempered Elder Bai Li Xiong and Elder Wang Shoulu from Mingjing Peak. These two have always only argued, never fought. Why are they arguing today and even preparing to fight?"

"Which Outer Sect Disciple is so sought after? Let me see!"

"What?! Wang Shoulu from Mingjing Peak wants to fight Senior apprentice-brother Bai Li Xiong from my Doujian Peak? I think the people from Mingjing Peak are getting too cocky!" Two Elders immediately rushed out furiously from the door behind Bai Li Xiong.

Closely following, two Elders also walked out from the door behind Wang Shoulu, glaring angrily: "I think it's the people from your Doujian Peak who don't put my Mingjing Peak in their eyes."

Behind the doors of the remaining three Elders from Danxia Peak, Zhubing Peak, and Wudao Peak, Elders also emerged, but they didn't interfere, just watched the show with smiles.

This assessment thing is quite boring, one has to find some fun, right?

The perfectly good Assessment Hall was becoming increasingly chaotic at this time, with swords drawn and bows bent. It seemed like if a single word was disagreeable, Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak would start fighting.

Just at this moment, a strong wind suddenly surged in the hall, and the figure of a short, stout Old Man with graying hair arrived with the wind.

"Hmph! You dignified Inner Sect Assessment Hall Elders, daring to act fiercely and fight here just to snatch someone, have you no shame? All of you, disperse for this Elder!" He swept his sleeve, and instantly, a mysterious force spread out, instantly extinguishing the Blood Qi Divine Spirit behind Bai Li Xiong. The Wind-Fire Divine Dragon above Wang Shoulu's head dissipated like smoke and clouds, vanishing completely in the blink of an eye.

What terrifying pressure, what divine spirit phenomena, in front of this Old Man, they were all like false illusions, capable of being extinguished with a breath.

"Fifth Elder." The Elders from Danxia Peak, Zhubing Peak, and Wudao Peak were all greatly startled and hurried forward to pay their respects.

The Elders from Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak, who were originally still annoyed, including Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu, also obediently suppressed their anger and hurried forward to bow: "Greetings, Fifth Elder."

The numerous Disciples watching the fun didn't dare to breathe loudly. They had long since lost the mood to watch the excitement, only feeling weak all over, almost collapsing onto the ground.

"It's over, even the Fifth Elder in charge of Feilai Peak has been alarmed!"

Now, they were probably going to be implicated and punished!

Lu Chen, who was outwardly fearful but inwardly watching the show, quickly followed the crowd, paying his respects and calling out: "Greetings, Fifth Elder."

"Hmph, bringing shame to the Inner Sect, you lot are truly promising!" The Fifth Elder glared fiercely at the group of Elders from Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak, especially focusing on Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu, scaring the two of them so much they didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Ignoring the Elders from Doujian Peak and Mingjing Peak, the Fifth Elder turned to look at Lu Chen, his expression immediately becoming much better: "You are Lu Chen from the Outer Sect?"

Lu Chen honestly replied: "That is correct."

This has nothing to do with me, don't find trouble with me!

The Fifth Elder's gaze scanned Lu Chen back and forth. His pair of profound eyes, deep as an abyss, seemed to see through everything. He nodded repeatedly: "Your Aura is steady and profound, your foundation is solid, and your comprehension of True Intent is especially outstanding. It's impressive that you could achieve such a feat in less than four months since entering the Sect. Not bad, not bad!"

Lu Chen's heart stirred, 'This Fifth Elder also seems unable to see my innate treasure, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin!'

Having stayed in the Sect for over three months, Lu Chen had also met Xuan Fa Realm experts within the Sect. There were quite a few right here, such as Bai Li Xiong, Wang Shoulu, and others, but none of them could see that he possessed an innate treasure.

It was unknown what Realm this Fifth Elder was in, but judging from how he casually suppressed Bai Li Xiong and Wang Shoulu earlier, he was likely far beyond the Xuan Fa Realm. A conservative estimate would place him as a Dao Infant Realm expert, and a bolder guess might even be an Yin Spirit Realm old monster.

But even this old monster of unknown Realm seemed unable to see through his innate treasure, the Nurturing Soldier Immortal Coffin!

"Was I being too cautious?"
