After hearing Chi Dongli's words, Hu Chen Qiukong and Hu Chen Gu first said goodbye to Hu Chen Wuding, then bowed to Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng, and spoke respectfully.
"I won't bother you two seniors anymore."
Hu Chen Huiqing blinked at Li Yan with her beautiful eyes, then stretched out her snow-white jade hand and spoke gracefully.
"You are definitely not very old, are you? Well, since you and Wu Ding were brothers before, I won't call you senior. Thank you very much this time. Thank you for letting me see the result I wanted."
Looking at the hot girl, Li Yan smiled awkwardly. He had to reach out and gently touch Hu Chen Huiqing's hand and nodded.
When the ancestor of the Chi family walked away without saying a word, Li Yan unexpectedly received a message from the ancestor of the Chi family.
"Are you really a monk from the Ten-Step Academy? But coming to my Wuliang Realm to train is not a good thing, so you'd better leave as soon as possible."
Just when Li Yan was somewhat surprised by the attitude of the Chi family's ancestor, a voice sounded in his ears.
"Li... Senior Li, are you sure that the ancestor won't take action?"
Hu Chen Wuding also withdrew his gaze.
He was a little surprised by Hu Chen Wandong's previous voice transmission. From what Hu Chen Wandong said, it seemed that the family was going to take action against the Xie family and the Ye family. But he immediately thought of his current situation and spoke to Li Yan with a worried look on his face.
Li Yan heard this and said in a low voice.
"In the assessment just now, Senior Hu Chen did not make a move. I think my first step was successful, which gives us a chance to survive next."
"Oh, could it be that Brother Li used some means to save his life during the assessment just now, which is why Senior Hu Chen didn't take action?"
Zhuo Lingfeng couldn't help but ask, Li Yan had entered the back mountain for an assessment before, and he witnessed the whole thing.
At first, he was also worried that Patriarch Hu Chen would kill Li Yan without any investigation, but until the end, Patriarch Hu Chen did not take action.
He guessed that Li Yan might have used some means to ensure that Patriarch Hu Chen did not kill anyone immediately, but he had not discovered what means Li Yan used before.
While the three were talking in low voices, another group of people came behind them.
The ancestor of the Ye family came over with Ye Luoyan and Hu Chen Jianghai. The ancestor of the Ye family had a smile on his face and he said to Hu Chen Wuding and the other two.
"We have all left. Ancestor Hu Chen asked me to inform you that you can go over now."
Hu Chen Wuding quickly bowed.
"Thank you, senior. I'll be there soon!"
After saying that, he winked at Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng, and walked towards the stands first.
From beginning to end, he did not look at Ye Luoyan and Hu Chenjianghai, whose faces were gloomy and seemed to be dripping with water.
Li Yan and Zhuo Lingfeng looked at each other, knowing that the time to decide their life or death had come.
In front of an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage, no matter how many abilities you have, they are like child's play, so you can only follow Hu Chen Wuding.
Looking at the backs of the three people, the ancestor of the Ye family slowly turned around, his eyes became sinister and vicious, and he sneered in his heart.
"Boy, you ruined my good deeds, so you must pay with your life. No matter where you come from, I will take your life."
But as they were still in the square, he didn't even dare to tell Ye Luoyan his thoughts, and just led his men away.
Hu Chen Wuding was in front, and the three of them quickly arrived at the stands. At this time, the huge square was already silent except for the four of them.
When Hu Chen, Wu Ding and the other two arrived in front of ancestor Hu Chen, they all bowed deeply.
No matter what you think in your heart, even if you know that the other party wants to kill you, as long as the other party has not really revealed his intention, you still have to pay homage. This is the helplessness of the weak.
Looking at the three people standing in front of him, Patriarch Hu Chen looked directly at Li Yan and said lightly.
"What's your name? Where are you from? Are you really a monk from the Ten-Step Academy?"
Li Yan felt dizzy when he saw him casually, and the blood in his body seemed to be frozen.
Even the magic power, which had always been flowing smoothly, became extremely slow in an instant and could hardly function anymore.
His mind seemed to be out of control and he subconsciously opened his mouth to tell everything, but at this moment, the five spirit force cauldrons in his dantian suddenly let out a collective roar, like trapped giant beasts.
This voice only appeared in Li Yan's mind, and even Ancestor Hu Chen did not notice it at all.
With a groaning sound, the magic power in the five spiritual power cauldrons that were emitting faint light began to boil like boiling water.
But just as he reached the mouth of the cauldron, he was like a trapped beast, firmly confined in the purple bowels of his dantian, unable to break free.
But even so, Li Yan's mind suddenly became clear, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Then beads of sweat began to seep out of Li Yan's forehead. Li Yan was horrified. He didn't expect that the old monster in the Nascent Soul stage was so terrifying. Just a glance from him almost made him lose consciousness.
In the eyes of the other party, my level of cultivation was like that of a giant and a baby, and my body could not move at all.
Seeing Li Yan suddenly wake up from his dazed eyes, Patriarch Hu Chen couldn't help but let out a light "Huh", and then his eyes softened a bit, but the coldness remained.
At the moment when Patriarch Hu Chen's gaze softened, Li Yan felt that the unbreakable restraints on his body suddenly disappeared without a trace.
His body returned to normal in an instant, and the moment the restraints on his clothes disappeared, sweat gushed out like a spring, immediately soaking his clothes.
"Ancestor..."
Hu Chen Wuding had already discovered something was wrong with Li Yan. He was very anxious and spoke quickly. Zhuo Lingfeng on the side also took a step forward anxiously.
Patriarch Hu Chen simply waved his hand at Hu Chen Wuding to stop him from saying anything else, then glanced indifferently at Zhuo Lingfeng who took a step forward, with a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
As Zhuo Lingfeng took a step forward, he suddenly felt an invisible pressure, as if a hundred thousand mountains were rushing towards him.
The whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string. While in the air, large amounts of blood spurted out. Then he fell heavily to the ground several feet away.
Hu Chenwuding, who had just been stopped from speaking, had bloodshot eyes immediately. He rushed to where Zhuo Lingfeng fell, not bothering to say anything else.
"Humph, I'm asking a question here, you have no right to interrupt!"
The calm voice of Hu Chen Patriarch came out. After seeing the anger flashing in Hu Chen Wuding's eyes, his murderous intent was even stronger. This boy dared to be angry with him for an outsider, but now was not the time to kill Zhuo Lingfeng. He had to find out the origin of this boy surnamed Li in front of him first.
After he said this, he turned and looked at Li Yan.
"I didn't expect that the technique you practice is quite unique. If you don't want me to search your soul, then tell me what happened to the flying sword in Shibuyuan.
There is one more thing you need to understand. Even if you are from the Ten-Step Courtyard, if you die here, no one will stand up for you."
Li Yan was still breathing heavily. He looked back and saw Zhuo Lingfeng who was already being supported by Hu Chen Wuding.
Seeing that apart from the bloodstains on the corners of his mouth and chest, he didn't look too exhausted, I felt a little relieved.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, Patriarch Hu Chen gave them a show of power. Although he did not take their lives immediately, it was obviously a strong warning.
He also knew that Patriarch Hu Chen must have guessed it. Zhuo Lingfeng had told Hu Chen Wuding and himself about his intentions, so Patriarch Hu Chen might as well put it out in the open.
Anyway, as long as he kills the two of them, if Hu Chen Wuding wants to fight to the death and seek revenge, he must have strength, otherwise he will definitely fall into the calculations of the ancestor Hu Chen.
Next, Hu Chen Wu Ding must endure humiliation and stay in the Hu Chen family, using the resources here to practice desperately...
After some quick thinking, Li Yan regained his composure.
Looking at the young man in the dark gown with a calm face in front of him, Li Yan took a deep breath.
"I am not a swordsman from the Ten-Step Academy!"
It turned out that when Li Yan was taking the test in the peach blossom forest, he began to speculate when Patriarch Hu Chen would make a move. The time when Patriarch Hu Chen would make a move would be after he surpassed Hu Chen Wanmu.
Therefore, as long as he surpasses Hu Chen Wanmu, he will face the risk of being killed by Hu Chen ancestor at any time.
Therefore, when Li Yan was about to break out of the peach blossom forest for 25 feet, he didn't dare to gamble and continue to break through.
He immediately carried out his original plan and pretended to be out of power. When twenty petals fell towards him, Li Yan only caught seventeen of them.
He deliberately picked and left behind three petals that were flying in a straight line. This action of his was also to pave the way for him to block the subsequent attack and quickly put away the spirit sword.
Otherwise, if several petals came at him from the front and back, he would have to block them one by one and would not be able to achieve the effect he wanted.
At the last moment, facing the heavy blow of three petals, Li Yan pretended that he could no longer rely on his own strength, and had to take out his magic treasure to block it. The magic treasure he took out was Miao Zhengyi's flying sword.
After he blocked the attack from the petals, he quickly put away the flying sword. His movements were extremely fast, and Li Yan deliberately used his sleeve to cover a small part of the flying sword.
Li Yan believed that with the consciousness and eyesight of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would be able to see it clearly.
As he expected, although he drew and put away the sword extremely quickly, the three Nascent Soul cultivators in the square still saw it clearly.
As a result, Patriarch Hu Chen stopped his plan to take action.
In his eyes, Li Yanying was an experienced cultivator from the Ten-Step Academy, but because he was in the area under the jurisdiction of the Wuliang Sect, he had been deliberately hiding his identity.
That would explain some things.
The reason why Li Yan was carrying a treasure was that he should be the best among the young elite of Shibuyuan, and must be someone valued by the elders of Shibuyuan.
In this way, Patriarch Hu Chen could not take action immediately.
Although the Wuliang Sect and the other three sects are privately at odds with each other, the Hu Chen family is also affiliated with the Wuliang Sect.
But he couldn't let a Ten-Step Academy cultivator die in the Hu Chen family under the noses of two other Nascent Soul cultivators. The Hu Chen family did not have the ability to fight against the Ten-Step Academy.
And all this is exactly what Li Yan needs.
In order to achieve this result, Li Yan did not use any other spiritual weapons or magic weapons during the entire process of breaking through the levels. Instead, he only used basic magic arts to fight the enemy. In fact, he only knew basic magic arts.
But it just happened to explain why he might be a monk from the Ten-Step Academy.
When disciples of the four major sects go out for training, they will choose to hide their identities, just like when Li Yan went to the Pure Land Sect area, so it is reasonable for Li Yan not to use the Ten-Step Courtyard sword technique.
The more Li Yan used basic magic, the more Ancestor Hu Chen and the other two thought that Li Yan must be a disciple of the Ten-Step Academy.
Now, Li Yan directly denied his identity as a disciple of the Ten-Step Academy, which surprised Patriarch Hu Chen. His young and handsome face began to darken.
"So, you got the flying sword of the Ten-Step Academy cultivator by accident? And your actions during the assessment just now should have been intentional, right?"
Just one denial from Li Yan made Patriarch Hu Chen guess many things. The terrifying thing about an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage is that his mind is as smart as a fox.
The original intention of everything Li Yan did before was that he did not want to expose his identity as a disciple of the Wuliang Sect in public, so he had to use the name of Shibuyuan as a buffer.
"I guess so, but I am a disciple of the Wuliang Sect."
Li Yan began to regain his composure.
As he spoke, Li Yan looked back at Zhuo Lingfeng and the other two who had just been helped up by Hu Chen Wuding, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
In the end, he still needed two more people to know his identity, but Patriarch Hu Chen did not give him a chance to speak alone, so there was nothing he could do about it.
While speaking, he slapped his waist, and a small black plate that looked like iron but not iron, and gold but not gold, appeared in his hand.
Looking at Li Yanzhong's token, Old Ancestor Hu Chen's expression froze for a moment, and then after he scanned it with his spiritual sense, the expression on his face changed slightly.
Of course he confirmed that the token in Li Yan's hand was not a fake, but a genuine one.
Zhuo Lingfeng and Hu Chen Wuding, who were standing behind Li Yan, were filled with disbelief when they first heard the name "Shibuyuan".
Because in the minds of the two, Li Yan had never used the Ten-Step Courtyard's frighteningly sharp swordsmanship, but had always been using poison cultivation methods, which was totally inconsistent with his identity.
Just as the two of them were confused, they heard Li Yan say the three words "Wangliang Sect" and then took out a token. Everything changed so quickly that the two people behind him were stunned.
For a moment, the square was even quieter, but after a while, Patriarch Hu Chen's eyes flickered and he spoke calmly.
"Hehehe... I think you have guessed what I am going to do. Even if you are a disciple of the Wuling Sect, what can you do
The disciples of the Wuliang Sect will also die outside. Who will be able to find them then? Who can check for a mere foundation-building person like you?"
