"Boom!"
At this moment, Old Huang felt his mind explode. A bolt of heavenly lightning made his scalp tingle.
A powerhouse at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, dead?
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Wu Quanguan, a powerhouse at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, was killed by Mr. Lin, who is at the early Core Formation stage? Are you kidding me?"
After a moment of stunned silence, Old Huang quickly reacted.
When Lin Chen saved him earlier, he had exposed his aura. This was definitely a cultivator at the early Core Formation stage.
But now Zhang Ying was telling him that the other party had killed Wu Quanguan. Was this not a tall tale?
"Why would I lie to you?"
"Otherwise, who in the entire secret realm, besides Wu Quanguan, could have injured him like this?"
Zhang Ying sighed, and her gaze towards Lin Chen became more affectionate.
In her opinion, if it weren't for her, Lin Chen would have been able to prepare thoroughly before fighting Wu Quanguan.
He wouldn't have had to face him in such a hurry and almost lost his life.
"Is this true?"
After receiving Zhang Ying's repeated confirmation, Old Huang was still in disbelief.
A powerhouse at the half-step Nascent Soul stage was like a god in his eyes!
There was a gap of several major realms between the early Core Formation stage and the half-step Nascent Soul stage.
Even a cultivator at the late Core Formation stage, the great circle, might not be able to withstand ten moves from the current Wu Quanguan!
And he was killed by Lin Chen?
"Alright, alright, don't worry. Tonight at midnight, you can directly forfeit and leave."
"Regarding the Chu family's matters, I will resolve them as soon as I get out."
Seeing that the two of them were talking endlessly, Lin Chen could only interrupt them helplessly.
"Okay, if that's the case, then thank you, Mr. Lin!"
"I see you are injured. Why don't you continue to heal here, and I'll guard you?"
"I have a secret art from my sect that can sense danger. If anything happens, I can warn you in advance!"
Old Huang cupped his hands at Lin Chen and suggested.
"Yes, thank you."
Lin Chen did not refuse. After all, his injuries had not fully recovered yet, and his strength was less than half of its usual level.
Although Zhang Ying's cultivation was higher than Old Huang's, she lacked experience in this regard.
And this Old Huang, although he only appeared to be at the first level of Qi Refining, his sense of danger was absolutely not a joke.
Otherwise, how could he have survived in this secret realm for so long with such a low cultivation level!
After speaking, Lin Chen sat down cross-legged and continued to heal.
Because Zhang Ying and Old Huang were present, he couldn't enter the Nine Dragon Ring, so he had to make do.
Fortunately, he had enough spirit pills to use, so after about half a day of recovery, Lin Chen's injuries finally began to improve.
"Hoo!"
After completing the last circulation of spiritual energy, Lin Chen exhaled a turbid breath and slowly opened his eyes.
He had benefited greatly from this battle with Wu Quanguan, and the spiritual energy in his body had become more condensed.
It was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the middle Core Formation stage!
"How is it, junior brother? Are you feeling better?"
Seeing Lin Chen wake up, Zhang Ying asked with concern.
"Yes, senior sister, don't worry. My injuries have recovered. Although my strength hasn't returned to its peak state, as long as I don't encounter another half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, there's no need to worry."
Lin Chen nodded and quickly reassured Zhang Ying.
"By the way, didn't I ask you to pick up Wu Quanguan's storage bag earlier?"
"Bring it out now. Let's see what treasures a powerhouse at the half-step Nascent Soul stage has!"
As he spoke, Lin Chen rubbed his hands, his expression filled with anticipation.
There was an old saying in the cultivation world: "Killing and arson lead to golden belts."
He had obtained a spiritual weapon after killing Liu Huaiyu before. Now, Wu Quanguan, the Grand Elder of the Fiery Sect and a powerhouse at the half-step Nascent Soul stage, must have quite a few belongings, right?
"Yes, yes, yes, it's here!"
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhang Ying also became a little excited.
She was currently lacking a suitable weapon, and she wondered if Wu Quanguan's storage bag would bring them any surprises.
Immediately, Zhang Ying quickly took out the storage bag, erased the residual divine sense on it, and then poured all the contents onto the grass in front of Lin Chen.
In an instant, various spiritual artifacts, elixirs, spirit stones, and books were scattered all over the ground.
Among them was a golden token that looked extremely dazzling.
"Holy cow, the Golden Seal of the Fiery Sect Master! Did you really kill Wu Quanguan?"
Upon seeing the golden token, Old Huang's eyes widened in disbelief.
When he had heard Lin Chen and Zhang Ying talking about it earlier, he had found it hard to believe.
It was only now that he dared to believe it completely!
The Golden Seal of the Fiery Sect Master had always been in Wu Quanguan's possession, but he never expected it to appear here now. This could only mean that Wu Quanguan had indeed died at the hands of these two!
"Of course, otherwise, do you think we were lying to you earlier?"
"Come, come, you saved my junior brother. I'll give you this low-grade spiritual artifact sword."
"Your cultivation is too low now, and you won't be able to use any other treasures."
As she spoke, Zhang Ying casually threw a low-grade spiritual artifact sword to Old Huang, which made him stare in dumbfounded amazement again.
A sword of spiritual artifact level was a treasure that could be passed down in an ordinary family! And she gave it to him so casually?
"Tsk tsk tsk, this Wu Quanguan is too poor. Only ten pills?"
Looking at the contents of Wu Quanguan's storage bag, Zhang Ying said with a hint of disdain to Lin Chen.
"Huh? Is this the Fiery Armor? A spiritual artifact-level defensive treasure, this is quite rare."
After examining the treasures, the only thing Zhang Ying could find appealing was the Fiery Armor.
"Um, Miss Zhang, actually, the truly valuable items here, apart from the Fiery Armor, are the Golden Seal of the Fiery Sect Master, which is considered a true treasure!"
Just as Zhang Ying was unsure of what to choose, Old Huang swallowed and pointed at the golden token, saying.
"Oh? The Sect Master's Golden Seal? Isn't this just a symbol of authority? Does it have any other uses?"
Hearing Old Huang's words, Zhang Ying frowned.
"That's right. This Sect Master's Golden Seal is said to be a low-grade magic treasure, containing the essence of primordial fire."
"It is precisely because of this that the sect founded by Wu Quanguan is called the Fiery Sect."
Old Huang nodded and explained to Zhang Ying and Lin Chen.
