Chapter 125: Mountain Gate Provocation, Laughable

Zhou Chen stood up and looked in the direction from which the flute music was coming.

That was the direction of the source of the Spiritual Qi river, pointing to the deepest part of the Langya Blessed Land, but it was shrouded in thick fog.

With Zhou Chen's current Divine Sense strength and Cultivation, he was unable to see through the scene within.

"Now is not the time, but if there is an opportunity, I must go and investigate," Zhou Chen secretly decided.

After organizing his thoughts, Zhou Chen walked towards the teleportation exit of the Langya Blessed Land.

Taichu Holy Land, in front of the mountain gate.

"Look! Isn't that the people from the Qingfeng Sacred Ground?"

"Qingfeng Sacred Ground? What are they doing coming to our Taichu Holy Land?"

"You all look at that middle-aged man, his aura is terrifying! He is at least a powerhouse at the eighth level of the Saint Realm or above!"

Many Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land had gathered in front of the mountain gate, pointing and whispering.

Just then, a flying boat sped over, and three figures on the flying boat were flying towards the mountain gate of the Taichu Holy Land.

Leading them was a middle-aged man with a majestic expression, wearing a cyan robe, his aura unfathomable.

It was precisely the Holy Master of the Qingfeng Sacred Ground — Qing Ming!

Following behind him was a young man in his twenties, handsome in appearance, but with a trace of arrogance in his eyes.

This person was precisely the Saint of the Qingfeng Sacred Ground — Wu Qingshan!

Following at the very back was an old man, who should be an Elder of the Qingfeng Sacred Ground.

"Friends of the Taichu Holy Land, we from the Qingfeng Sacred Ground have something to discuss and request an audience!"

Qing Ming's voice resonated like thunder throughout the entire Taichu Holy Land.

Not long after, an Elder from the External Affairs Hall of the Taichu Holy Land came to the mountain gate to welcome them.

"I did not know the Holy Master of Qingfeng was arriving. The Taichu Holy Land failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you will forgive us."

The Elder of the External Affairs Hall said politely.

"Hmph, in your Taichu Holy Land, is there someone called Zhou Chen? We received news that he killed a Saint of my Qingfeng Sacred Ground, Lin Zhan, in the Gui Xu Secret Realm, so we have come specifically to demand an explanation."

Soon, the Disciples of the Taichu Holy Land rushed over one after another.

When they saw the people from the Qingfeng Sacred Ground, strange expressions appeared on their faces.

"They… could they be here to find the new Saint, Zhou Chen?"

"It must be! Our Taichu Holy Land doesn't have a second Zhou Chen, it's definitely the one killed by the Saint!"

"Haha, now there's a good show to watch!"

The Disciples whispered to each other, their eyes filled with looks of watching a good show.

Qing Ming and the others noticed the strangeness in the eyes of these Disciples, and their hearts could not help but sink.

"What is going on? Why are these Taichu Holy Land Disciples looking at us with such eyes?"

Wu Qingshan frowned.

Just at this moment, the figure of Chu Cangming also appeared in front of the mountain gate.

He was just passing by; he had some questions about his Cultivation and intended to go to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to find an Elder to clear up his doubts.

Hearing that the other party wanted to find Zhou Chen, he came over to see what the situation was.

Although he was no longer the Saint, his status in the Taichu Holy Land was still very high, and an Inner Sect Elder of the Taichu Holy Land stepped aside to let Chu Cangming come forward.

"Everyone from the Qingfeng Sacred Ground, I do not know what business you have coming to our Taichu Holy Land?"

Chu Cangming asked indifferently.

Qing Ming saw Chu Cangming, and a trace of wariness flashed in his eyes.

He knew of Chu Cangming's reputation; he was the number one person of the younger generation in the Taichu Holy Land, and his strength was unfathomable.

"Saint Chu, we came here this time because of the death of Lin Zhan, a Disciple of our Qingfeng Sacred Ground!"

Qing Ming said in a deep voice.

"According to our investigation, Lin Zhan died at the hands of a Taichu Holy Land Disciple named Zhou Chen! He must have used some means to sneak attack Lin Zhan, and we want to demand justice for him!"

When Chu Cangming heard this, an even stranger expression appeared on his face.

"You… are sure you want to trouble Zhou Chen?"

"Of course!"

Wu Qingshan snorted coldly.

"A mere newly entered Disciple of the Taichu Holy Land dares to kill a person from our Qingfeng Sacred Ground? He is simply courting death!"

Clearly, they did not yet know that Zhou Chen had already become the Saint of the Taichu Holy Land.

"Chu Cangming, you wouldn't be trying to shield that Zhou Chen, would you?"

Wu Qingshan mocked.

"The dignified first Saint of the Taichu Holy Land is actually going to stand up for a piece of trash?"

Chu Cangming's expression became even more interesting.

Shield?

He was shielding Zhou Chen?

If this were said, he was afraid that even he himself wouldn't believe it.

"If you really want to find Zhou Chen, then I advise you to forget it."

Chu Cangming kindly reminded them.

"Hmph! Chu Cangming, I think you are just shielding him!"

Wu Qingshan said disdainfully.

"He is just a piece of trash who only knows how to sneak attack; I can crush him with one finger!"

Chu Cangming opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but in the end, he closed his mouth.

Forget it, it's better to let them experience some things themselves.

"Zhou Chen, there are guests looking for you."

Just at this moment, Dao Xuan's voice reached Zhou Chen's ears at the Saint Peak from the Holy Master Hall.

Zhou Chen, who was Cultivating, stretched when he heard this, intending to go out to get some air and see who was looking for him.

Soon, Zhou Chen's figure appeared in front of the mountain gate, and because he walked in a hurry, he did not change his casual clothes.

When Qing Ming and the others saw Zhou Chen in white robes, they were all stunned.

This was the Zhou Chen who killed Lin Zhan?

He looked to be only in his early twenties, and the aura of his Cultivation looked like it was only at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul.

With such strength, how could he possibly kill Lin Zhan, who was at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul?

"You are Zhou Chen?"

Wu Qingshan looked Zhou Chen up and down, his eyes filled with disdain.

"So what if I am? What business do you have with me?"

Zhou Chen looked at the three people from the Qingfeng Sacred Ground, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Someone saw that you killed our Qingfeng Sacred Ground's sixth sequence, Lin Zhan, in the Gui Xu Secret Realm. Is that true or not?"

Wu Qingshan was certain that the Zhou Chen in front of him must have used some unspeakable means; otherwise, with Lin Zhan's strength, it wouldn't have been so easy to kill him.

"So what if I did?" Zhou Chen said indifferently.

Now that Zhou Chen was the Saint of the Taichu Holy Land, he didn't need to hide anymore.

If he had done it and refused to admit it, that would be the biggest joke.

"Very good! A Disciple of my Qingfeng Sacred Ground cannot be killed for nothing. I represent the Qingfeng Sacred Ground to come and challenge Your Excellency's high skills."

In Wu Qingshan's eyes, the Zhou Chen before him was already a useless person.

"Are you sure… that you want to challenge me?"

These words were said lightly, but to the ears of Qing Ming and the others, there was an indescribable strangeness.

"Of course it is you!"

Wu Qingshan sneered.

"With just this bit of Cultivation, you are worthy of killing a Disciple of my Qingfeng Sacred Ground? I think you used some despicable means!"

"Today, I, Wu Qingshan, will avenge Junior Brother Lin Zhan!"

When Zhou Chen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Interesting."

Zhou Chen looked at Qing Ming.

"Does your Qingfeng Sacred Ground only have this much discernment?"

Qing Ming's face sank at these words.

"Boy, what do you mean?"

"Nothing much."

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

"Since you want to challenge, then come. However…"

He changed the subject.

"Just fighting is boring; why not add some stakes?"

Dao Xuan also walked out of the Holy Master Hall at this time, and when he heard Zhou Chen's words, a flash of cunning light appeared in his eyes.

"Not bad, since it's a challenge, there should indeed be some stakes. Fellow Daoist Qing Ming, what do you think?"

Dao Xuan said with a smile.
