Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Burning Flame Sect
Ling Chen looked at Xia Houjin and smiled, "Young Master Xiahou, you must still have the Holy Body Secret Technique that you haven’t used yet, right? I haven’t used mine either. I think there’s no need for us to continue the competition, right?"
Xia Houjin’s face darkened.
Indeed, as Ling Chen said, he hadn’t used the Holy Body Secret Technique.
But looking at the Spiritual Power, Ling Chen was undoubtedly a Sacred Body.
Was it necessary to reveal all his cards just to deal with a fellow at the first level of the Palace Mansion Realm?
Revealing it here isn’t a big deal.
But if he used the Holy Body Secret Technique and still couldn’t handle Ling Chen, that would be too embarrassing.
The problem is that he now couldn’t be sure.
If that was the case, then he would be utterly disgraced later.
And Ling Chen saying this was clearly offering him a way out.
Thinking of how Ling Chen was favored by the Young Sect Master, he indeed wasn’t someone ordinary.
A smile appeared on his face as he bowed to Ling Chen, "Young Master Ling, you have truly broadened my horizons!"
"You flatter me, Young Master Xiahou."
Ling Chen smiled and returned the bow.
Seeing that Xia Houjin couldn’t handle Ling Chen and didn’t make any further moves, the eight geniuses of the second level of the Palace Mansion Realm were immediately surprised.
Knowing Xia Houjin, he was definitely not someone who would withdraw easily!
Could this Ling Chen really be that formidable?
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Crisp applause sounded, and Jia Qianshan praised, "Young Master Ling, truly a genius valued by the Young Sect Master!"
"Commander Jia, you give me too much credit."
Ling Chen gave a modest smile.
Ye Fentian spoke, "As the Young Sect Master said, Ling Chen is not as simple as he appears!"
"Yes, yes, yes! The Young Sect Master has a brilliant vision, I am indeed inferior!"
Jia Qianshan quickly replied.
Afterward, everyone returned to the banquet.
Xia Houjin and the others left the table.
After resting for the night, the next morning, Ye Fentian and the others set out again.
However, this time, the team had significantly increased.
This was because Xia Houjin and nine other talents who participated in the examination also went along to the Burning Flame Sect.
Everyone left through the Transmission Array.
With the previous experience of teleporting using the Transmission Jade Token, Ling Chen didn’t appear as a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
In just two hours, they arrived at Lishan City, where the Burning Flame Sect was located.
This place was considered the core area of the Burning Flame Sect.
Of course, the Burning Flame Sect wasn’t in the central city of Lishan City.
But rather in the Burning Flame Mountain Range.
There was a Transmission Array from Lishan City to the Burning Flame Sect as well.
"Xia Houjin, you guys just wait in Lishan City. In a few days, someone from the sect will come to receive you," Ye Fentian said indifferently.
"We understand."
Xia Houjin and the others quickly bowed respectfully.
Since they were participating in the entrance examination, Jia Qianshan as the Commander would naturally inform them of the precautions.
"Mhm."
Ye Fentian nodded.
Then he took the Transmission Array back to the Burning Flame Sect.
"Young Sect Master!"
As the four appeared, many in the Burning Flame Sect’s Transmission Hall immediately greeted them respectfully.
Ye Fentian nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
Then he glanced at Ling Chen, then turned to Elder Mu and said, "Elder Mu, please arrange accommodations for Young Master Ling, I am going to report back to my father!"
"Alright, Young Sect Master!"
Elder Mu smiled.
After Ye Fentian and Li Xuan left, Elder Mu turned to Ling Chen and said, "Young Master Ling, please follow me."
"Thank you, Elder Mu."
Ling Chen smiled.
But inside, he became even more vigilant.
Letting Elder Mu arrange for him was merely to keep an eye on him.
...
In the central area of the Burning Flame Sect, there’s a splendid grand hall.
"Father!"
Ye Fentian respectfully saluted a man dressed in green clothes sitting above in the grand hall.
"Sect Master!"
Li Xuan immediately paid his respects.
The man in green clothes was none other than the Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect, Ye Tianjun.
A true powerhouse of the World Realm!
Ye Tianjun turned around, revealing a refined face. With a smile, he looked toward Ye Fentian and said, "Fentian, how is it? Have you obtained the Emperor’s Inheritance?"
"Not yet."
Ye Fentian replied, "There were some unforeseen circumstances."
"Oh?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Tianjun’s eyes as he asked, "What kind of circumstances?"
He was well aware of the strength of Yunshui City.
Especially in a place like the Desolate Land.
With Ye Fentian’s capabilities, he should easily dominate there.
Not to mention having Li Xuan, a high-ranking cultivator from the Palace Mansion Realm!
Ye Fentian and Li Xuan then recounted the events.
"Golden Palace?"
"The power of bloodline?"
Ye Tianjun’s expression grew even more astonished.
He couldn’t believe that such a genius could emerge from the Desolate Land, that particular region.
Even his son, under his guidance, had only managed to construct a Silver Palace.
As for talents possessing bloodline power, they generally appeared in the Central Province.
It was extremely rare even in Qing Province.
How could such a genius possibly arise from the impoverished and remote Desolate Land?
"Did you bring that person back?"
Ye Tianjun asked.
Even though the person was a genius, he would have no capacity to resist in front of Li Xuan.
"Yes, I have assigned Elder Mu to watch over Ling Chen."
Ye Fentian responded.
"Hmm, good!"
Ye Tianjun nodded in satisfaction.
This time, Ye Fentian was not impulsive, which pleased him.
If it was truly a bloodline genius, their Burning Flame Sect truly could not afford to offend.
Such clans were the most terrifying entities on the Nine Provinces continent!
If not discovered, it would be fine, but if detected, such clans would definitely annihilate their Burning Flame Sect.
"Go rest for now. Bring Ling Chen to see me tomorrow."
Ye Tianjun pondered for a while before giving his orders.
Although he was eager to see what kind of person Ling Chen was, to possess such talent,
he knew the matter could not be rushed.
Even if he wanted to seize Ling Chen’s Emperor’s Inheritance, he couldn’t be forceful. It required careful planning and must not let anyone know it was orchestrated by their Burning Flame Sect.
"Alright!"
Ye Fentian nodded.
Then the two of them walked towards the outside of the hall.
However, Li Xuan suddenly stopped.
"Sect Master, there is another matter. Ling Chen seems to be able to perform the King Spirit Technique within his body!"
Li Xuan spoke.
This was the most peculiar aspect.
"Performing the King Spirit Technique within his body?"
Ye Tianjun’s eyes narrowed.
Then he stared intently at Li Xuan, asking, "The King Spirit Technique he performs, is it the Green Sword Qi?"
"Yes!"
Li Xuan’s eyes brightened as he responded, "Sect Master, you know?"
"The Green Lotus Ancient Clan, he is from the Green Lotus Ancient Clan!"
Ye Tianjun announced.
He hadn’t expected Ling Chen to be a descendant of this clan.
Performing the King Spirit Technique within the body was a characteristic of the Green Lotus Ancient Clan.
Something other clans could not imitate!
Moreover, this clan’s fame all came from their history of slaughter.
It is said that the ancient ancestor of this clan once killed a person every ten steps, leaving no trail for a thousand miles.
With the lives of countless cultivators, the Green Lotus Ancient Clan’s reputation was established!
"The Green Lotus Ancient Clan?"
Both Ye Fentian and Li Xuan showed puzzled expressions.
They had never heard of this name before.
Ye Tianjun suddenly realized and said, "You may leave now. Remember this name, but do not mention it to anyone!"
