Chapter 4877: It Was Just a Misunderstanding

This was the Heavenly Sword Sect, and Xiao Li and Sha Mushi had come regarding Shen Chen's matter.

Now, they had investigated Supreme Elder Han's residence and searched Supreme Elder Han's spirit beast bracelet and storage ring, yet they had found nothing.

Not to mention Supreme Elder Han's anger, everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect was angry; if this matter were to spread later, it would do no good for the reputation of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

However, if Shen Chen were handed over to the Heavenly Sword Sect for disposal, his fate would certainly be worse than death.

Everyone was from the Zunshen Realm, and since Shen Chen also knew his secrets, it was impossible for Xiao Li to hand Shen Chen over.

"Xiao the Sacred Body! You heard what happened just now yourself; it was this kid who said it himself—if he couldn't find anything, he would leave himself to be dealt with by our Heavenly Sword Sect. Now? What do you want to do?!" the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect said in a deep voice.

"Ahem… That was indeed said just now, but that was just a casual comment; there's no need to take it seriously, right?" Sha Mushi gave a dry cough and looked at the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect. "Don't forget… Xiao Li is also someone valued by the Ghost Lord, and the ghost wood envoy token is currently in Xiao Li's hands."

Upon hearing these words, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect was stunned, as was Supreme Elder Han.

Besides the Ghost Lord, only a few people knew that Xiao Li possessed the ghost wood envoy token.

In that case, Xiao Li could be considered one of the Ghost Lord's direct disciples.

If he held this status, the Heavenly Sword Sect could provoke Xiao Li even less.

Especially since Xiao Li had just exchanged a blow with Supreme Elder Han; Supreme Elder Han's Realm was much higher than Xiao Li's, yet he still couldn't do anything to his opponent.

Xiao Li had a limitless future; I'm afraid that before long, he would become a figure who dominated a region.

However, Supreme Elder Han was still unwilling to let Shen Chen go just like that.

"Hehe… That may be so, but… one must be responsible for what one says. I have been around for so many years, yet I have been slandered like this by a junior. If this matter were to spread, and others came later and said the same thing, wouldn't that just keep slandering my innocence?" Supreme Elder Han said with a faint smile.

"Then what do you want?!" Xiao Li said in a deep voice.

Seeing this, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect sent a Voice Transmission to Supreme Elder Han, telling Supreme Elder Han to calm his anger and that the matter should not be blown out of proportion.

If it continued to escalate, it would be very difficult for the Heavenly Sword Sect to clean up the mess.

Supreme Elder Han ignored the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, looked at Shen Chen, and slowly said, "The previous condition still counts…"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li and Sha Mushi's expressions turned grim.

Just now, Supreme Elder Han had said to let Shen Chen kneel and kowtow to apologize.

Xiao Li hesitated for a moment, just about to speak.

But at this moment, Shen Chen knelt down directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Li was startled. Just as he was about to help Shen Chen up, he heard Shen Chen speak first: "This matter… is my fault! Supreme Elder Han, please… calm your anger!"

Shen Chen's voice was filled with anger, as well as deep helplessness.

Shen Chen was not a fool; Xiao Li had helped him enough. If it weren't for Xiao Li, he would never have been able to come to the Heavenly Sword Sect and stand in front of Supreme Elder Han; his life would have been gone long ago.

Therefore, Shen Chen did not want to cause trouble for Xiao Li, which was why he chose to kneel in front of Supreme Elder Han to apologize.

At the same time, Shen Chen's heart was filled with fury, angry to the extreme.

He hated his own incompetence; his beloved woman had been taken away by the other party, yet he had no way to do anything, and now he even had to kneel in front of the other party to apologize.

"Shen Chen, you…"

"Xiao Li, don't say anything about what happens next."

Xiao Li wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Sha Mushi.

Sha Mushi was very clear about the stakes involved, and she also understood why Shen Chen wanted to do this—it was because he hoped that Xiao Li and she would not be put in a difficult position.

Regarding Shen Chen's choice, Sha Mushi felt it was correct, and besides, the other party had already knelt down.

Afterward, Supreme Elder Han would say a few polite words, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect would smile, and the matter would be resolved.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Xiao Li and Sha Mushi to explain things to the Ghost Lord later.

After all, the Heavenly Sword Sect was not weak, and the Nether Ghost Mansion was not what it used to be. Now, the Heavenly Court was the greatest enemy of the Ghost Mansion. If they offended the Heavenly Sword Sect too deeply, and the other party ran off to the Heavenly Court's territory and helped the Heavenly Court deal with the Ghost Mansion later, wouldn't they become sinners?!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Li fell silent, understanding what Sha Mushi meant.

Supreme Elder Han glanced at Sha Mushi, then at Xiao Li, and finally looked at Shen Chen, stroked his beard, and slowly said, "Shen Chen, I can understand your feelings, but… in the future, you must be reasonable, understand? For the sake of the Ghost Fire Envoy and Xiao the Sacred Body, this matter will be let go, but… this is the last time, understand?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chen's back teeth were almost ground to pieces, but he still gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

"Alright, go back." Supreme Elder Han waved his hand.

Shen Chen slowly stood up and looked at Xiao Li, his eyes filled with killing intent, but he said nothing.

"Alright, let's go first." Xiao Li nodded.

Shen Chen nodded, and Sha Mushi let out a sigh of relief and looked at Supreme Elder Han: "Sorry for the disturbance; it turns out it was just a misunderstanding."

"Hahaha… Ghost Fire Envoy, as long as it was a misunderstanding, it's fine."
