178: Chen Xuan's thoughts

A quarter of an hour, neither long nor short.

For the crowd below the stage, it felt like an eternity, because they had no idea how Chen Xuan would help them determine the top 32.

Finally, a quarter of an hour was up.

Chen Xuan opened his eyes, a smile on his face, and said loudly, "Alright, a quarter of an hour is up, and you still haven't determined the top 32. It seems I need to help you!"

With that, he leaped into the air, looking down at everyone from above, and said, "Now, let's see whose luck is better!"

After speaking, he gathered a large ball of Spiritual Qi in his hand and began to indiscriminately bombard the arena. Besides the circle he drew, even the positions where Lin Tiancheng and others were standing began to be bombarded.

"Boom!!"

A group of people couldn't resist and were instantly blasted off the arena.

In an instant, the top 32 were determined.

"Senior Brother Chen, how can you be so overbearing?"

"That's right, you're depriving us of our rights!" The eliminated people were all furious.

"Hehe, do you have an opinion?" Chen Xuan sneered, "With your strength, even if you got in, you'd just be a foil for others, completely meaningless!"

"I even attacked Lin Tiancheng and the others, why wasn't he eliminated?"

Hearing this, everyone was angry but dared not speak, only able to swallow their anger.

Although they were dissatisfied with Chen Xuan's actions, there was nothing they could do. Chen Xuan's strength was too great, and he was also the Chief Senior Brother of Xuan Yang Sect. They simply couldn't afford to offend him.

"Chen Xuan, aren't you going too far with this?" Lin Tiancheng finally couldn't help but stand out, looking coldly at Chen Xuan and saying.

He had initially strongly approved of Chen Xuan's approach, thinking it was quite good to quickly end this boring battle, but Chen Xuan had specifically attacked him as well, so he had no choice but to stand up and oppose him!

"Too far? I don't think so!" Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "Lin Tiancheng, I know you're strong, but in front of me, you're still not enough!"

"You!" Lin Tiancheng's face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Senior Brother Lin, forget it. Since the spots have been decided, let's just follow what Senior Brother Chen said. After all, his strength is evident!" At this moment, someone began to fan the flames.

However, Lin Tiancheng didn't fall for the trick. Instead, he took a deep breath and turned to leave.

He chose to endure.

...

After getting off the arena, Chen Xuan did not choose to return to She Jingxi's side. Instead, he took out his compass, wanting to locate Zhao Tianming's position.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lin Qingxue's figure appeared like a ghost directly in front of Chen Xuan.

Although she had calmed down after Lin Yunhan's persuasion, the trouble that needed to be sought absolutely could not be avoided!

"You took away the most talented Disciple of my Palace, now how will you explain it to me? Junior! Brother!" Lin Qingxue gritted her teeth as she spoke the last two words.

"Senior Sister, since it's already happened, don't pursue it anymore. My husband just finished fighting and is very tired. I need to let him rest well!" Lin Yunhan quickly grabbed Lin Qingxue's hand.

"You shut up! All day long, you only know how to side with outsiders. Are you even a member of my Han Yue Palace or not?" Lin Qingxue said angrily.

"Han Yue Palace Master, please mind your words!" Liu Yuning also stood in front of Lin Qingxue at this moment.

"Hmph!" Lin Qingxue snorted, ignoring Liu Yuning, and stared intently at Chen Xuan, "Speak, how will you compensate my Han Yue Palace?"

"Senior Sister, Jingqi and I are deeply in love, and she is my lawfully wedded wife. She's just not convenient to fight right now, which is why I didn't let her come out. You can't blame me for this!"

Chen Xuan spread his hands, his face full of innocence.

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Lin Qingxue said angrily, "Jingqi is the most talented Disciple in our Han Yue Palace. The championship spot for the Sect Tournament should have been reserved by us long ago, but you ruined it all!"

"Senior Sister, you can't say that!" Chen Xuan shook his head and said, "Jingqi's cultivation hasn't fallen behind much, she's even continuously progressing, and I can't force my wife. Considering all this, our Han Yue Palace isn't at a loss, is it?"

"Bah! Who's 'our'? Han Yue Palace is ours!"

"Alright, alright, it's yours. Chen Xuan is still from my Xuan Yang Sect!" Han Wanqing retorted indignantly.

"Hmph! Say what you will, but you must give me an explanation for this matter!" Lin Qingxue snorted coldly, her attitude resolute.

"Alright, alright, I'll give you an explanation!"

Chen Xuan helplessly waved his hand, then took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Ring and threw it to Lin Qingxue, "Here is a top-grade Profound-level Cultivation Technique. Consider it compensation!"

These were Cultivation Techniques She Jingxi had given him. There were several, but he didn't use them much.

"Top-grade Profound-level!" Lin Qingxue took the Jade Slip and swept her Divine Sense over it, immediately shocked beyond belief, "You're not joking?"

"At a time like this, how could I be in the mood to joke with you!" Chen Xuan shrugged helplessly.

The Mountain and Sea Realm was, after all, just a Lower Realm. The Zhang family couldn't possibly provide any good Cultivation Techniques.

"Good, then I will reluctantly, reluctantly accept this compensation! However, this matter is definitely not over. I won't agree to you just taking Jingqi away like that!" Lin Qingxue said.

"Don't worry, Jingqi has always been fine. I've even raised her to be fair and plump!" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

"Also... I'm telling you, Yunhan is my biological Junior Sister. If you dare to bully Yunhan, I won't let you off!" Lin Qingxue turned her head and said to Chen Xuan with a serious expression.

"How would I dare!" Chen Xuan said with a bitter smile, "Yunhan is my heart's treasure. I cherish her too much to even think of bullying her!"

"Husband~" Lin Yunhan was very touched, while Han Wanqing turned away in anger.

"Alright, you two, tone it down. My teeth are going to ache!" Lin Qingxue waved her hand exaggeratedly.

"Well, how about Senior Sister, you go see Jingqi?" Chen Xuan suggested.

"Hmm, I've been meaning to. Where did you hide her? I tried to send her a message, but no one replied!"

"Senior Sister, please follow me!" Chen Xuan said, then led the women to a secluded location.

However, the reactions of the remaining three women were all different.

Liu Yuning was new, and she wasn't clear what Chen Xuan meant by bringing women into the Secret Realm, but Han Wanqing and Lin Yunhan were very clear about what it implied!

"Chen Xuan, you... you're going too far!" Han Wanqing suddenly stomped on Chen Xuan's foot.

"Exactly, Husband, Husband is a big bad guy!" Lin Yunhan's face was also flushed. She had already imagined what Senior Sister would look like when Chen Xuan bullied her, and she hoped she wouldn't be dragged into it herself...
