Chapter 4878: Shen Chen’s Plan

"It is good that Supreme Elder Han's innocence can be restored and that matters can end this way," the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect said with a smile.

"Hehe… It is good that you two are reasonable. We shall be leaving now. Farewell," Sha Mushi said with a smile.

Afterwards, Sha Mushi and Xiao Li left with Shen Chen.

After they left, Supreme Elder Han's expression darkened, and the Killing Intent on his body was no longer concealed.

"Damned bastard! To think he could actually find Xiao Li and Sha Mushi!" Supreme Elder Han was furious.

"Supreme Elder Han, what is going on?!" The Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect's expression was ugly.

He actually knew about Supreme Elder Han's daily conduct. When Shen Chen came earlier and said that Supreme Elder Han had imprisoned his wife, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect knew best that this matter must be true.

Otherwise, how would a brat in the True Emperor Realm dare to offend Supreme Elder Han?!

"Hehe… He is just an ant; I should have crushed him to death long ago." Supreme Elder Han sneered. "Enough, send people to investigate clearly what relationship this Shen Chen has with Xiao Li and Sha Mushi! Once you find an opportunity, eliminate the root of the trouble!!"

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect nodded and sent people to investigate the matter.

Shen Chen did not know about what happened afterwards, but he was clear that something must have happened to his wife.

On the way back, Shen Chen remained silent, and Sha Mushi and Xiao Li did not say much either.

They believed Shen Chen; he would definitely not lie about his wife's situation.

Moreover, why would Shen Chen lie? It would bring him no benefit at all…

Soon, the group arrived at the Nether Ghost Mansion.

Xiao Li thanked Sha Mushi, then brought Shen Chen back to his Immortal Cave.

"What are your plans for the future?" Xiao Li asked.

"Yihan… something must have happened to her." Shen Chen's expression was gloomy, and his Killing Intent was dense, not concealed in the slightest.

"Are you so certain?!"

"Certain, there can be no mistake." Shen Chen nodded heavily.

"But I…"

"Rest assured, there is no need to trouble yourself." Shen Chen shook his head, interrupting Xiao Li's words. "You were able to make a trip to the Heavenly Sword Sect for me, and even brought the Ghost Fire Envoy along; I am already very grateful. As for what comes next… even if we continue to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect, the result will be the same."

"Then what do you intend to do?!"

"I… I want to handle this matter using my own ability." Shen Chen said in a deep voice.

"Your ability? You…"

"Alright, I am leaving now. Thank you for this matter, thank you." Shen Chen cupped his hands and bowed to Xiao Li. "Rest assured, I will not leak a single bit of information about your affairs, even if my body and soul are destroyed…"

"This… alright then." Xiao Li thought for a moment and nodded. "If you have any matters in the future, you can come find me at any time."

Having said that, Xiao Li gave Shen Chen one of his own communication jade slips.

"Alright, thank you very much." Shen Chen thanked him again and left Xiao Li's Immortal Cave.

Shen Chen knew very well that it was simply impossible to make Xiao Li destroy the Heavenly Sword Sect for his sake.

Searching Supreme Elder Han's residence and storage ring was already Xiao Li's limit.

It was not that Xiao Li could not continue to do other things, but rather that the other party had no need to help him to this extent; after all, he and Xiao Li had no kinship or prior connection…

Shen Chen was once a Divine Emperor of the Zunshen Realm, and he had fought his way up step by step from being weak.

Regarding this matter, he had already prepared for the worst-case scenario, which was that Xu Yihan was dead.

Shen Chen knew very well that if he wanted to save his wife, even if she were dead, if he wanted to resurrect his wife, everything required strength.

Leaving Xiao Li's Immortal Cave, Shen Chen immediately concealed his tracks because he discovered that someone was following him.

If the person following him was not one of Xiao Li's people, then it must be someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Shen Chen also knew that if Xiao Li wanted to harm him, he would not have let him leave just now, and right now he was simply no match for Xiao Li.

Therefore, the person following him must be from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Shen Chen was very smart; after hiding, he left behind numerous clues, forcing the people following him to split up…

Then, he set up an ambush in a location in advance and found a way to suppress one of them.

Then he began to interrogate the captive for information, confirming the person's identity as someone from the Heavenly Sword Sect.
