Chapter 1701 Li Xing of the Mad Lion Sect
A subordinate quickly stepped forward to open the door. At this moment, a middle-aged man in training attire got out of the car.
He had a square face, sharp eyebrows, a resolute expression, and exuded an aura of killing intent, making him appear unapproachable.
This was none other than Li Xing, the sect leader of the Mad Lion Sect!
"What's going on?"
Li Xing's face was grim. Without even lifting his eyelids, he asked coldly.
"Sect Leader, this guy is causing trouble for us and even hit us!" the leading henchman shouted, pointing at Chen Xuan.
"To dare lay hands on someone from my Mad Lion Sect is simply courting death!"
Li Xing spoke coldly, his killing intent flaring up instantly!
His subordinates behind him immediately drew their weapons, surrounding Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist priest!
"I!"
Chen Xuan smiled faintly and took a step forward.
Li Xing heard the voice and looked over. Upon clearly seeing Chen Xuan's face, he was stunned.
He rubbed his eyes vigorously.
My heavens, isn't this that influential figure?
"Kid, you're too arrogant, asking for a beating!"
A group of people charged towards Chen Xuan.
"All of you, stop right there!"
At this moment, Li Xing hurriedly said.
His subordinates quickly stopped, frowning at Li Xing, wondering why he had given such an order.
Li Xing lunged forward and excitedly grabbed Chen Xuan's arm: "Brother Chen!"
"What are you doing? Who are you? I don't think I know you?"
Chen Xuan frowned and pulled his arm back.
Li Xing said, "Brother Chen, it's me, little Xing Zi! Can't you recognize me?"
As he spoke, Li Xing even messed up his hair.
Chen Xuan sized up Li Xing, his eyes slowly widening. The face before him slowly overlapped with a long-buried memory: "It's you, little beggar, little Xing Zi!"
The person before him was none other than a little beggar whom Chen Xuan had helped at the Suolong Well in the past.
At that time, Chen Xuan was eating near the Suolong Well. When he returned, he saw someone snatching Li Xing's begging possessions and beating him severely, almost to death.
He chivalrously intervened, not only driving away those thugs but also healing Li Xing's illness.
Li Xing, the little beggar, then clung to Chen Xuan, often coming to see him and offering fruits, which Chen Xuan naturally did not accept. However, later, Li Xing helped him gather some information, which was extremely important to Chen Xuan.
Through these interactions, Chen Xuan became familiar with Li Xing.
When he left the Suolong Well and prepared to return to the Dragon Soul battle team, Li Xing cried profusely.
However, Chen Xuan never would have dared to believe that the little beggar from back then had now transformed into the sect leader of the Mad Lion Sect.
"Brother Chen, it's really been a long time. I didn't expect you to be back." Li Xing was overjoyed.
"You're the one who truly surprises me. I didn't expect you to become a sect leader," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Li Xing scratched his head, looking somewhat simple and honest, a stark contrast to the aloof, domineering, and decisive sect leader he was before.
"I was also forced into it. The previous sect leader of the Mad Lion Sect killed my sister. Afterwards, I eliminated him and took his place."
"So that's how it is."
Chen Xuan knew that Li Xing was an orphan but had a sister, who was his entire hope. For his sister, he was willing to beg and kneel before others.
Having lost his sister, Li Xing would truly go mad.
Li Xing asked, "Mr. Chen, are you going to the Suolong Well?"
Chen Xuan retorted, "How do you know?"
"Doesn't everyone know something has happened at the Suolong Well? I heard that a bronze door was discovered at the bottom of the Suolong Well. This bronze door contains a world-shattering secret. The authorities have invited masters from the Taoist sects, Maoshan, Longhushan, Xijiang, and even the Imperial Astronomical Bureau!"
"To think even they have come. It's getting more and more lively!"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes.
"Brother Chen, does that bronze door in the Suolong Well really hold a great secret?"
"What you should know, you know. What you shouldn't, you don't!" Chen Xuan would naturally not leak any information.
"Yes!" Li Xing could only bow his head deferentially.
Chen Xuan glanced at those henchmen.
Those henchmen quickly lowered their heads, not daring to utter a sound.
Who would have thought this guy was actually from the Dragon Soul battle team, and even their sect leader was so respectful? This time, they had truly kicked a hornet's nest.
"Brother Chen, how do you want to deal with them? However you say, I will handle it!" Li Xing quickly said.
Chen Xuan said indifferently, "Your methods are also the methods of the Suolong Well. I can overlook it, but I hope you manage your subordinates well and don't cheat people indiscriminately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xing broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that if he hadn't known Chen Xuan, his entire Mad Lion Sect might have disappeared from the Suolong Well.
"I will heed your teachings. I will definitely pass down the order. Whoever dares to mess around, I will bury them alive!" Li Xing said quickly.
Chen Xuan nodded and then added, "Arrange a car to send us to the Suolong Well!"
Li Xing quickly replied, "As you command!"
Soon, Li Xing arranged his own car for Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist priest. He intended to personally escort Chen Xuan to the Suolong Well, but Chen Xuan dismissed him.
Li Xing was completely willing and even tried to placate him with a smile.
"I'll drive to the Suolong Well later!"
Chen Xuan drove away abruptly.
"Okay!"
Li Xing smiled.
After Chen Xuan left, a subordinate sneered, "Isn't he just someone from the Dragon Soul battle team? He dares to boss around our Sect Leader. Does he really think people from the Dragon Soul battle team are invincible?"
"Slap!"
Li Xing raised his hand and slapped the subordinate, causing his face to swell and several teeth to fall out.
"Sect Leader..."
The subordinate said aggrievedly.
"Do you know who this person is, that you dare to speak such nonsense?"
"He's just a member of the Dragon Soul battle team? We haven't had dealings with them before."
"Shut up, his name is Chen Xuan!"
"Ah? It's him?"
Upon hearing the name, the subordinate's face turned pale, and he swayed precariously, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Everyone knew that Chen Xuan had gained great fame when he was guarding the Suolong Well. In the Suolong Well, any gang or faction would tremble upon hearing Chen Xuan's name.
He never imagined that after such a long time, Chen Xuan would return!
"I'm telling you, Chen Xuan's status is not only extraordinary, but he is also my benefactor. Whoever dares to show him disrespect will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Everyone shouted in unison!
Li Xing added, "From now on, the Mad Lion Sect will no longer engage in the business of conning and swindling."
"Then what will we do next? We have so many brothers to support."
"We'll find other ways."
Since Chen Xuan had said so, Li Xing directly followed his instructions.
Everyone could only obey the command.
Not long after, Chen Xuan and the slovenly Taoist priest drove to the Suolong Well.
The Suolong Well was located at the convergence of three peaks. These three peaks were Zhongyue Mountain, Dongshan, and Xishan.
These three mountains were rare dragon veins in the world. Although these three dragon veins had withered, their destiny and luck were still very strong.
On Dongshan and Zhongyue Mountain, a city wall eighty to a hundred meters high was built, with a moat in front, resembling an ancient military stronghold.
