Chapter 286: The Arrogant Companion
"In other words, you hope that I can help you uncover the secret?" Chen Li looked at the other party and asked in confusion.
After all, this thing is not as simple as one thinks, and for Chen Li, this thing is probably very valuable. If something really goes wrong, it will probably be a bit troublesome.
For example, if a strange light spot suddenly absorbed this piece, he would not be able to report back.
Lin Fengyou shook his head, "Of course not, this stone is just a stepping stone. I hope you can help us explore a secret realm."
When Chen Li heard about exploring a secret realm, his eyes lit up. The secret realm in Tianheng Prefecture was not as simple as he thought. It contained countless treasures.
But the secret realm of Tianhengzhou is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die without knowing how.
"Are you going to let me handle it alone?" Chen Li looked at Lin Fengyou and asked.
Lin Fengyou shook his head. "Of course not. I will send a few trusted disciples to go with you, and after the mission is accomplished, I can allow you to take one of the items."
This sentence made Chen Li feel a little excited. This was a very good thing. Not only could he obtain treasures, but he could also establish good relationships with the people of Xuantian Sect.
This is a two-birds-with-one-stone thing, and for him, it is definitely something he can agree to.
But on second thought, the sect ranking is imminent, if I go to help explore the secret realm at this time, wouldn't it delay the ranking?
"If you are worried about the sect ranking, then you can rest assured. The ranking will start in a month." Lin Fengyou looked at Chen Li and said so.
The reason why all the major sects came so quickly was actually just to arrange a gathering, not the starting time.
The specific starting time is naturally one month later . One month is enough for Chen Li and his team.
Chen Li stroked his chin, and understood in his heart, "Since City Lord Lin has already said so, I naturally have no reason to refuse."
"In that case, let's get going without further delay." Lin Fengyou looked at Chen Li and said seriously.
Chen Li was startled by this sentence. Starting now? This is a bit too hasty.
Could it be that the secret place is extremely important to Xuantian Sect, so they would set out immediately?
Since they were in a hurry, Chen Li would not refuse and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Afterwards, Chen Li and Lin Fengyou arrived at a place that looked very secluded. It was heavily guarded and there were two monks in white Taoist robes waiting there.
The cultivation base of these two cultivators is not low, they have already reached the early stage of Nascent Soul. They can reach this level at such a young age. It seems that Xuantian Sect is really very terrifying.
"City Lord Lin, when do we start entering?" A cultivator holding a long sword looked at Lin Fengyou and asked with a little dissatisfaction.
Lin Fengyou smiled and said, "You will be able to enter in a moment. Let me introduce you first. This is the elder of Nanli Sect, Chen Li."
The two turned their heads and looked at Chen Li. Another cultivator came over and clasped his fists to Chen Li and said, "Hello, Elder Chen. I am Li Zhou. My current cultivation has reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul."
Chen Li nodded. Looking at this man's appearance, he seemed to be a very kind person. It seemed that there was no need to worry about internal strife this time.
Just as he was thinking this, a discordant voice entered Chen Li's ears, "After all, he is just an elder of a low-ranking sect. Is there any need to introduce him?"
"Brother Zhou Lin, it's wrong for you to say that. After all, he is an elder of a sect, and we are just disciples." Li Zhou looked at Zhou Lin over there and said very straightforwardly.
Zhou Lin snorted coldly and did not answer Li Zhou. Instead, he said calmly, "Since everyone is here, let's go in directly and don't waste time."
After saying this, Zhou Lin entered the portal without any hesitation.
Watching Zhou Lin enter, Chen Li frowned. He was just thinking that maybe there would be no internal strife this time, but this kid was so arrogant. It seemed that there would be big trouble this time.
Lin Fengyou sighed, turned to Chen Li and said, "Don't be surprised. After all, he is the disciple of the Fourth Elder and has very high standards."
Chen Li shook his head and didn't say much. Since people had already entered, there was no need for them to waste time.
So he and Li Zhou entered the teleportation array without hesitation and began their journey to the secret realm.
However, after entering here, Chen Li felt a dangerous aura. The monsters around here were at least in the Nascent Soul stage.
No wonder they only prepared a few people. It seems like it is really troublesome.
"Strange, City Lord Lin didn't come in." Chen Li turned his head and looked at the portal behind him, saying with a little confusion.
Zhou Lin snorted coldly, "You have no knowledge at all. The elders of the lower-class sects are only capable of this."
These words made Chen Li's face darken. He didn't expect that this kid had been so rampant. It was really necessary to teach him a lesson.
Li Zhou quickly walked to Chen Li's side and said to him, "Don't mind him, he is just like that. In fact, this secret realm has restrictions. After exceeding the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, you cannot enter."
Chen Li finally understood that the secret realm of this place was somewhat similar to that of Lin Yunzhou, but the secret realm of Lin Yunzhou was inaccessible to those below the Jindan stage, while this place was inaccessible to those above the middle Yuanying stage.
I'm afraid that once Lin Fengyou enters here, it will cause rejection from the entire secret realm, so problems will arise.
He had no intention of continuing to be angry with Zhou Lin, because once he took action here, if something happened to Zhou Lin, Lin Fengyou would probably not let him go.
Even if he could escape from Lin Fengyou's clutches, he could not escape from Xuantian Sect's clutches.
So he could only bear with it. After all, his background was not something that someone like Chen Li could break.
Zhou Lin snorted coldly and said nothing. He just accelerated and flew in one direction.
Seeing Zhou Lin disappear in a flash, Li Zhou continued, "Elder Chen, come with me. Let's explore the last place first."
They had explored here before, but the situation there was really strange. No matter how they used their spiritual energy, they couldn't break the wall. Instead, it would be completely absorbed and become even stronger.
That's why they have been standing still. If Li Zhou's guess is correct, Lin Fengyou asked Chen Li to come here this time to deal with this matter.
Although Chen Li didn't know the process of these things, he didn't think much about it. He just came here to deal with things.
As long as I can help them deal with this sword issue, Lin Fengyou will definitely not treat me unfairly.
Because the three of them were all at the Nascent Soul stage, the journey didn’t take long, and they soon arrived in front of the wall.
When Chen Li saw this wall, he couldn't help but frown. The entire wall was made of that black stone.
There was just a small corner missing on it. If nothing unexpected happened, the stone that Lin Fengyou gave him was made from here.
It seems that it is really troublesome to handle this matter properly.
Chen Li walked over slowly, with no intention of acting rashly. Instead, he just watched.
Bang! At this moment, a very violent sound came to his ears, making his face look a little ugly.
He turned to look at Zhou Lin who was smashing the wall over there, and said coldly, "You are wasting your energy by doing this."
Not only is this a waste of effort, it will even increase the strength of the wall. In the final analysis, it is completely counterproductive.
Zhou Lin snorted coldly, turned around and looked at Chen Li with disdain, "You are just a person from a low-ranking sect, stop bossing me around, get out of here and don't bother me."
Chen Li frowned. He didn't expect that this guy would be so stubborn and humiliate him again and again.
It seems that he really needs to be taught a lesson. Chen Li exudes a terrible pressure from his body and stares at Zhou Lin intently. "I advise you, if you don't listen to my advice, I don't know what will happen next."
Faced with the terrible pressure, Zhou Lin couldn't help but shudder. He didn't know what was going on. The pressure from Chen Li was very strong.
Even Li Zhou felt a chill coming, which made him subconsciously take a few steps back.
It is really surprising that in a sect like Nanli Sect, there would be an elder in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
Zhou Lin gritted his teeth and stared at Chen Li, showing no fear at all. "Why, do you still dare to attack me?"
He is a disciple of the fourth elder of Xuantian Sect. If Chen Li dares to attack him, he will definitely be hunted down by Xuantian Sect.
At that time, no matter where Chen Li runs to, he will have no chance of escaping from the clutches of Xuantian Sect.
Chen Li snorted coldly, "Don't forget, this is a secret place. Even the most capable person can't discover the situation here."
In this secret place, even Lin Fengyou, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, did not dare to act rashly. How could others possibly discover what was happening here?
As long as all the parties involved were killed, Chen Li would pretend to be attacked by a monster, and there was no way anyone would discover the clues.
Zhou Lin's whole body trembled, because he could feel that Chen Li's murderous intent was growing. It was obvious that this guy was serious.
If something goes wrong, it will be really troublesome.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Zhou hurriedly said, "Brother Zhou, Elder Chen, our goal now is to break through this wall, so let's not argue."
"I only give you one chance. Listen to me obediently. If you don't, you will bear the consequences." He couldn't deal with Zhou Lin outside the secret realm, but inside the secret realm, he also had countless ways to destroy Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and after a cold snort, he didn't move at all and just stood there.
Seeing that this guy didn't move, Chen Li turned to look at Li Zhou: "Don't move here, I'll take a look around."
After saying that, Chen Li started wandering around the area and began to observe the situation here. After all, this wall always felt a little weird.
Not long after, he saw a stone tablet hidden in the corner. This stone tablet was exactly the same as the one Chen Li had seen in the secret realm before.
"It's just as I thought. This is the secret realm of the Yunjian Sect. It looks like things can be a little easier now." Chen Li let out a long sigh and muttered to himself.
Perhaps as long as I use that token, I can get rid of that stone.
But he was not so anxious. Instead, he looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he planned to try another method to deal with it.
If people knew about this, he would definitely not be able to hide it, and even the Xuantian Sect would be drooling over this token.
Therefore, we have to use another illusion to confuse them, making the two people think that the wall was opened by using a certain mechanism here.
