Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Hidden Experts

"Insolence, Li Dashan, what do you mean by your words? Do you dare to disregard the Jade Cauldron Sect, and plan to kill a disciple of our sect right before my eyes? Are you seeking to make an enemy out of the Jade Cauldron Sect?"

Watching the aura erupting from Li Dashan, Ning Shangfeng could tell that his cultivation was far above that of Lin Chen and the others, and even he found it somewhat difficult to see through him completely.

At this moment, Li Dashan appeared poised to strike at Lin Chen.

This kind of heavenly talent had now joined their Jade Cauldron Sect, and it was uncertain whether, in the future, he might become famous throughout the Great Flame Dynasty and lead the Jade Cauldron Sect to become an even stronger force.

Naturally, Ning Shangfeng would not allow Lin Chen to be harmed, and right now, he stood forward to protect Lin Chen, at the same time, feeling very dissatisfied with Li Dashan’s attitude towards the Jade Cauldron Sect.

A mere family from Desolate Sky City might count as a big clan there, but placed within the entire Great Flame Dynasty, they were somewhat insignificant.

"Hmph, what if I am opposing the Jade Cauldron Sect? Ordinary people might fear the Jade Cauldron Sect, but my Li Family does not."

"This child has not yet entered your Jade Cauldron Sect, so I would advise Elder Ning it would be best not to interfere too much."

"In Desolate Sky City, my Li Family wishes to kill a person, and no one can stop it."

A sinister expression surfaced on Li Dashan’s face, followed by a sudden increase in the aura around him.

"Such a strong presence, Li Dashan turns out to be a Heaven-reaching Realm powerhouse!"

"This guy, such a deep concealment of strength. With his power, he could easily subdue the other families among the Five Great Families. Yet he has not done so; he must have had other intentions for keeping his power hidden all this time."

Everyone was surprised by how powerful Li Dashan’s cultivation was, and they couldn’t help but recall Lin Chen’s previous suspicions about the Li Family, feeling that things might not be that simple.

It was very likely that the Li Family had other aims, and Li Chu might have indeed joined the Evil Demon Sect.

At this moment, Li Dashan’s icy gaze fell on Lin Chen, and he was determined to kill Lin Chen right there and then.

The talent Lin Chen had shown was far too great, making him feel threatened.

Considering the incident where Li Chu framed Lin Chen, it was inevitable that Lin Chen would not let Li Chu and the Li Family off the hook.

Lin Chen’s talent was exceedingly monstrous, and his future growth was frightening; he must be nipped in the bud.

"To think that there exists such a strong warrior in Desolate Sky City, but there seems to be something off about this guy’s aura."

At this point, Ning Shangfeng’s brow furrowed tightly, looking at Li Dashan with disbelief. He detected a whiff of evil from Li Dashan and couldn’t help but believe a bit more in what Lin Chen had said earlier. The Li Family might not be as straightforward as they seemed.

Otherwise, how could anyone in such a remote location as Desolate Sky City dare to oppose the Jade Cauldron Sect?

In his heart, Ning Shangfeng felt distressed; he had already witnessed Lin Chen’s talent, which he could say was indeed extraordinary, rare even in the entire Great Flame Dynasty.

But now, Li Dashan wanted to deal a deadly blow to him.

Ning Shangfeng, possessing only Melding Earth Realm cultivation, faced a significant gap with the Heaven-reaching Realm.

Among martial artists, at the Body Tempering Realm, it was still possible to compensate for differences in combat power through martial arts skills and talent.

However, once cultivation reached the Spirit Gathering Realm and above, let alone the gap between major realms, even the disparity between each minor realm and the difference in combat power at every level were significant, making it difficult to overcome.

Ning Shangfeng did not consider himself a match for Li Dashan; if they truly fought, he would struggle even to protect himself, let alone protect Lin Chen.

"Princely Heir, rest assured, if he wants to harm you, he will have to step over our corpses first."

"We swear to protect the Princely Heir with our lives."

The Great Elder took the lead in standing before Lin Chen, looking at Li Dashan and preparing for the worst.

The other members of the Lin Family, seeing this, all rallied to protect Lin Chen, standing behind him, including his first and second uncles.

Now that Lin Chen had displayed such immense talent, he was their family’s future. When Li Dashan sought to kill Lin Chen, everyone in the Lin Family united at that moment, determined to protect him.

"Hmph, nothing but a rabble. I initially intended to allow your Lin Family to struggle on for a little longer in Desolate Sky City. Since you are all so bent on courting death today, this old man will grant your wish. In today’s Desolate Sky City, there’s nobody I can’t kill, not even if the Heavenly King himself were here to stop me," Li Dashan proclaimed with disdain in his eyes while looking at Lin Xiao and the others, regarding the members of the Lin Family merely at the Spirit Gathering Realm like ants.

What truly posed a threat to him was the exceptionally talented Lin Chen.

"Patriarch Li sure has a grand manner. By saying these words, aren’t you looking down on us a bit too much?"

Just as Li Dashan was about to strike at Lin Chen and the others, a deep voice suddenly rang out.

An elder clad in a Taoist robe leaped down from a tall building. His descent slow and steady, to the eyes of ordinary people, he was like an immortal.

Suddenly, an immensely powerful aura burst forth from the elder, many times stronger than Li Dashan’s concealed cultivation, revealing that he was also a martial artist of the Heaven-reaching Realm.

"Pavilion Master Xun, heavens! Pavilion Master Xun is also a powerhouse of the Heaven-reaching Realm! With his plump appearance, I always thought he was only good at talisman drawing."

"Keep your voice down, will you? If Pavilion Master Xun heard that, you wouldn’t even know how you died," someone cautioned in a whisper.

The crowd murmured among themselves, astonished that Xun Xiangzhou had also concealed his true cultivation.

"Boy, I never expected you to have such achievements in the Martial Path as well," said Xun Xiangzhou with a smile on his face as he looked at Lin Chen with admiration in his eyes.

Lin Chen’s mastery of spiritual formations had impressed him, and now it turned out that Lin Chen also had high accomplishments in the Martial Path.

If Xun Xiangzhou wasn’t accustomed to his carefree lifestyle, he might have been tempted to take Lin Chen as a disciple.

"Young Master has seen Pavilion Master Xun," Lin Chen said, bowing slightly to Xun Xiangzhou.

Having Xun Xiangzhou step up to support him at this time, Lin Chen inwardly noted his gratitude.

Xun Xiangzhou nodded, the look of approval in his eyes growing even more intense. With extraordinary talent, not haughty or rash, and showing humility, he was truly a talent worth cultivating.

Then Xun Xiangzhou’s gaze fell upon Li Dashan and Li Chu.

"Based on what Lin Chen has said, you actually dared to practice Demonic Cultivation Techniques and absorb others’ spiritual power for cultivation. You ought to know that, for us martial artists, this is a major taboo, deserving the scorn of thousands," Xun Xiangzhou’s gaze landed on Li Chu. His tone grew increasingly cold, and the look he gave Li Chu frightened him so much that he stumbled backward and sat down on the ground.

The oppressive aura of Xun Xiangzhou was terrifying, making it difficult for Li Chu to even breathe.

"I... I haven’t, there are no Evil Path Cultivation Methods. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Lin Chen is spewing nonsense, framing me," Li Chu protested.

As a martial artist, Li Chu naturally knew that if he were branded as a practitioner of Demonic Techniques, he would likely not leave this place alive today.

He would, of course, deny it no matter what.

"Heh, whether you’ve practiced them or not, let this old man verify it to clear your name," Xun Xiangzhou said, and a faint light flickered in his hand as he reached out toward Li Chu.
