Chapter 42 I am now terrifyingly strong!
There was dead silence in the hall.
Everyone was awestruck by Jiang Churan's imposing presence and felt a sense of awe.
Upon seeing the purple jade token,
Elder Ding's expression changed immediately, and he quickly got down from his seat and stepped forward to pay his respects.
"Ding Hui has met Jiang Zhenchuan."
According to the sect rules, Jiang Churan's public status is comparable to that of the major peak masters, making her extremely noble.
He was merely an elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, even lower than the Hall Master, so naturally he needed to pay his respects.
"Ah this..."
Upon seeing this, Lin Yan's heart pounded wildly, as if struck by lightning.
Elder Ding was just stern-faced and ready to punish them severely, how could he change his expression so quickly?
Li Wudao smiled arrogantly and gave him a look that said, "See? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"......"
Lin Yan nodded bitterly, his heart filled with many emotions.
At this moment, Elder Ding's expression was extremely gentle, even showing a hint of humility.
Where is that harsh attitude from just now?
"Someone, bring tea to Jiang Zhenchuan."
Ding Hui greeted him with a smile, his face full of flattery.
"There's no need for these formalities. I have other matters to attend to, so Li Wudao will take his leave now."
Jiang Churan said indifferently, too lazy to argue with him.
"And what about Lin Yan? He's my buddy, he can't stay here and suffer."
Li Wudao casually mentioned it.
If not now, when?
Sure enough, you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when they love them.
Lin Yan's gaze suddenly intensified, more intense than when he looked at a dog.
Such piercing eyes made Li Wudao's heart skip a beat.
Oh no, it seems the effect is a bit too strong.
"Brother Lin, calm down, I don't like men."
Li Wudao coughed lightly, trying to ease the awkwardness.
"???"
Lin Yan tilted his head, feeling utterly bewildered.
"Are you leaving or not?"
Jiang Churan frowned slightly, turned and left, sensing that the two of them were somewhat seriously ill.
"Leave now, leave now."
The group left in a relaxed atmosphere, chatting and laughing. Throughout the entire process, Ding Hui greeted them with a smile and dared not obstruct them in the slightest.
"Lin Yan, have you offended anyone recently?"
On the way, Li Wudao couldn't help but ask.
"Probably not. Ever since I came to the sect, I've been walking on thin ice every day, and I dare not provoke others easily."
Lin Yan racked his brains for a while, then shook his head in frustration.
"That's strange. Those two outer disciples aren't a big deal, but the entity behind them is clearly targeting you..."
Li Wudao was also somewhat unsure, and instructed, "Try not to act alone these days, and especially don't leave the sect. I'm worried they might harm you."
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li. I will be careful."
Lin Yan nodded, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.
The two chatted for a few minutes, and soon Lin Yan left, looking preoccupied.
Looking at Lin Yan's desolate figure,
Li Wudao sighed and quickened his pace to catch up with the girl walking ahead.
"Chu Ran, do you know who in the sect is allowed to use the Mystic Crystal Token?"
He recalled the token that Ji Bochang had taken out; perhaps Jiang Churan had some clue.
After listening to Li Wudao's vivid description
Jiang Churan's pretty face slightly tightened. "There is only one person in the Xuantian Sect who is qualified to use the Xuanjing Token."
"Who?"
Li Wudao raised an eyebrow, not expecting that Xiao Jiang had locked onto the target in an instant.
"Young Sect Master."
"Wu Shaotian? It's him! No wonder Ding Hui's expression changed so drastically..."
Li Wudao was greatly surprised and couldn't figure it out.
How did Lin Yan end up provoking Wu Shaotian?
The two are from vastly different backgrounds and have absolutely no connection whatsoever; this doesn't make sense.
Suddenly, Jiang Churan mentioned her encounter on the road.
"I met Wu Shaotian on the way here, which is why I was delayed a bit."
At the time, Wu Shaotian seemed to be heading to the Hall of Law Enforcement, but after seeing her and exchanging a few words, he chose to turn back.
After listening, Li Wudao felt that something was amiss.
Not right.
Based on the Xuanjing Token, it seems that Wu Shaotian really came for Lin Yan.
However, he happened to run into Jiang Churan, which is why he temporarily chose to give up.
As the young sect leader, Wu Shaotian wields immense power, yet he chooses to "settle things peacefully"?
This only shows that he is in the wrong and is afraid of making things public.
"Your friend is probably in big trouble."
Jiang Churan's expression turned slightly grim. "Wu Shaotian is cunning and treacherous. He's capable of anything to achieve his goals. You'd better not get involved in this matter."
Li Wudao nodded slightly, feeling that things were getting a bit tricky.
After only a few meetings, he could already sense that Wu Shaotian was troublesome and definitely not a kind person.
His biggest worry now is that if Wu Shaotian decides to kill Lin Yan, things will get really serious.
Lin Yan was not yet fully developed and was not yet able to compete with Wu Shaotian in any aspect. He was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"However, Lin Yan has amazing luck, so he shouldn't die a violent death, but he'll probably suffer some physical pain."
Li Wudao secretly analyzed the situation and planned to take some time to investigate.
He would help Lin Yan both publicly and privately.
Nothing could bring him more joy than being a lucky break during a period of investment stagnation.
If it works out, the rebate will be substantial.
"Don't forget our previous agreement. We look forward to your performance in the competition."
Before parting, Jiang Churan gave him a serious look, her eyes flashing with a strange light.
"Don't worry, I'm incredibly strong right now!"
Li Wudao grinned, as calm as an old dog.
If everyone in the Grand Competition were at the Blood Transformation Realm level, he could easily and comfortably take down a small Karami with a single punch.
Jiang Churan didn't say much about his overconfidence, only rolled her eyes, and then drifted away.
He found that Li Wudao was good in every way, except that he was a bit too flamboyant.
at the same time.
Xuantian Peak.
The young patriarch's palace, and the back garden.
At this moment, Wu Shaotian sat in a pavilion by the lake, accompanied by a beautiful young woman.
With such a beautiful time and lovely ladies serving me, how delightful!
A trembling young man was kneeling in front of the two men.
It was none other than the outer disciple—Ji Bochang.
He knelt on the ground, his head bowed low, barely daring to breathe, a stark contrast to the arrogant and domineering demeanor he displayed in front of Lin Yan.
"Can't even handle this simple matter...useless!"
Wu Shaotian spoke coldly, then stood up and kicked him into the lake.
"Young Sect Master, you are wise. I have truly done my best in this matter. If it weren't for Li Wudao's interference, I would have already captured Lin Yan."
Ji Bochang climbed out of the water, limped, and knelt down in front of him, his face pale.
"Li Wudao...it's him again!"
Wu Shaotian's expression immediately turned cold, and his domineering aura was unleashed, causing the pavilion to tremble and the lake water to splash.
The boy repeatedly tried to ruin his plans, practically going against him.
"Young Sect Master, please give me another chance. I will definitely win over Lin Yan next time."
Ji Bochang was immediately terrified and trembled with fear, begging for mercy incessantly.
"Waste has no value for reuse, so... you can die now."
Wu Shaotian glanced at him coldly, then raised his hand and lightly struck out with his palm.
"puff--"
The next instant, Ji Bochang vomited blood and fell heavily to the ground, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes still open.
He never imagined that his diligent work would lead to such a single failure, costing him his life...
"Take care of it, throw it out."
After saying that, Wu Shaotian calmly walked back to the pavilion.
His calm and casual demeanor made it seem as if he had killed not an outer disciple, but a stray dog by the roadside.
The surrounding servants seemed unfazed and calmly dragged away Ji Bochang's body.
"Brother Tian, you must help them get rid of this scourge, Lin Yan."
Inside the pavilion, a beautiful young woman nestled against Wu Shaotian. She was twenty-five years old, with fair skin and alluring eyes that could easily arouse a man's desire.
"Xinhui, rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation for this matter."
Wu Shaotian smiled and agreed.
"As long as Lin Yan is alive, I will not be able to sleep peacefully. I always feel that something will happen."
The woman nodded gracefully, seemingly gentle, but her words were quite ruthless, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Heh, what waves can a mere outer sect trash make? If this young sect master wants to kill him, it's no different than killing an ant."
Wu Shaotian's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Just you wait and see. After the newcomer competition ends, that good-for-nothing Lin Yan will eventually have to go out and complete the sect's mission. That will be his death day!"
Upon hearing this, the woman revealed a seductive smile, "Thank you, Brother Tian. Xin Hui awaits your good news."
"Why are you being so polite with me? You're my woman, how could I not help you?"
Wu Shaotian grinned lewdly, groping the woman's face until it flushed.
Half an hour later.
He straightened his disheveled clothes and said eagerly, "Xinhui, I'll have to trouble you again soon. My 'Innate Demonic Body' is about to be fully developed, and this time I need at least ten thousand young boys and girls..."
