Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

High in the sky, a terrifying stone ball that covered the sky floated quietly. It was as if the bright moon was about to fall to the ground, bringing with it an extremely strong pressure.

Below the stone ball, the ground that was originally a large forest was bare at a glance. There were no plants, only a deep pit.

Chen An sensed the three elders who were suppressed in the stone ball. He could clearly feel their vitality. The three of them were still alive.

Therefore, with a thought, he continued to urge the remaining spiritual qi in his body to further compress the stone ball in the sky.

When he ran out of spiritual energy, he would consume a large number of Spirit Gathering Pills that could quickly recover his spiritual energy.

In short, he was constantly circulating his spiritual qi to compress the stone ball, wanting to kill the three elders.

After all, the three elders had already wanted to kill him just now. There was no reason for him to let them off.

Regardless of the reason for their attack just now, he had to kill them first.

Crack!

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!

As the stone ball was continuously compressed, the sound of gravel inevitably sounded from inside.

It was especially ear-piercing in the quiet night.

Fortunately, there was a soundproof array formation around him and an array formation that could isolate divine consciousness.

No matter how loud the commotion was, as long as no one happened to pass by, they would not be discovered.

“Boom—”

The stone bail was compressed to the extreme and exploded in the sky, turning into gravel that scattered down.

Like a meteor shower, they fell to the ground with a bang, raising dust all over the sky.

The three elders who had been suppressed in the stone ball finally escaped and fell out one after another.

However, they were no longer as awe-inspiring as before and had ended up with two dead and one injured.

Moreover, the only injured Yi Bailian had fallen unconscious.

“This Earth Explosion Star is indeed worthy of being an ancient forbidden technique. It killed three Nascent Soul realm Cultivators and did all that without any resistance…”

Chen An sighed in his heart.

Although the three elders looked like they had completely lost their ability to fight, he was very cautious and did not rashly approach.

Instead, he maintained a safe distance from the beginning to the end and used the golden light to crazily whip the corpses of the dead Mo Zixuan and Elder Li to ensure that the two of them were really dead and not trying to fake their deaths to escape or launch a sneak attack.

“Pfft… Pfft… Pfft!”

After shooting for more than a minute, Chen An saw that the corpses of Mo Zixuan and Elder Li had been shot into mud without any chance of survival. Only then did he go forward to pick up their storage rings and put them into his own storage ring.

After that, he walked towards Yi Bailian, who was still unconscious. With a thought, he took the other party’s storage ring from afar and put it into his own storage ring.

Buzz!

There was a roar.

Chen An condensed a light sword on his fingertip and cut off Yi Bahian’s limbs with a few swooshes.

Yi Bailian, who was still unconscious, immediately woke up from the pain of her limbs being broken. She let out a ferocious and painful cry.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she looked around in confusion.

When she saw Chen An in front of her and the two pools of meat paste beside her, she realized what kind of situation she was in.

Seeing that she had woken up, Chen An said coldly with an expressionless face, “Tell me the reason why you came to kill me. 1 have a magical artifact that can distinguish between truth and lies. You can try lying to me.”

He did not have such a magical artifact and was purely bluffing.

Yi Bailian also felt that Chen An was bluffing, but she did not dare to take the gamble, because if she made a mistake, she would die.

The moment Chen An finished speaking, she immediately replied truthfully,

“The three of us are spies planted by the Xuanhuang Sect. Our goal is to disintegrate the Heaven Earth Sect from the inside.”

“Elder Li had put in so much effort for so many years. It wasn’t easy for him to come up with a poison that could deal a devastating blow to the Heaven Earth Sect. He had even poisoned all the disciples of the entire sect who were below the Golden Core realm. However, if he was unlucky enough to be ruined by you…”

“Most importantly, the Holy Maiden praised you in public for developing the antidote. Elder Li felt that you were a threat to his position as an elder of the Alchemy Hall, so he forced Elder Mo and me to come and kill you together.”

The Holy Maiden actually praised me in public in the Alchemy Hall for researching the antidote?

Chen An frowned slightly, feeling a little puzzled by this matter.

He remembered that he had clearly told the Holy Maiden that he wanted to give this credit to her. Why did she reject it?

Moreover, it was fine if he didn’t want it, but he even used it to praise and provoke hatred in public in the Alchemy Hall. What was going on?

Chen An was very depressed.

However, he didn’t dwell on it too much and quickly focused his attention on the “undercover” matter.

He looked at Yi Bailian and asked, “You said that you’re a spy from the Xuanhuang Sect?”

Yi Bailian did not dare to be negligent and immediately replied, “Strictly speaking, the three of us are not spies of the Xuanhuang Sect. We just reached a cooperation with them.”

She emphasized that it was a cooperative relationship. She was hinting that Chen An and the Xuanhuang Sect were not united and could be instigated to defect.

Chen An pretended not to hear him and asked, “Other than the three of you, are there any other spies from the Xuanhuang Sect in the Heaven Earth Sect?”

Yi Bailian shook her head and said, “1 don’t know about that. The reason why Elder Li, Elder Mo, and I know that each other are spies is only because of a coincidence. Under normal circumstances, the identities of the spies are kept secret and will not be revealed to anyone.”

Chen An nodded when he heard this. Then, he asked her some questions about the Xuanhuang Sect.

Yi Bailian answered everything she knew and did not hide anything.

However, Chen An did not let her off because of this. After obtaining the information he wanted, he directly ended her life with a sword and gave her a quick death.

At this point, the three elders of the Joyous Union Hall, the White Lotus Hall, and the Alchemy Hall had all died.

They died quietly and no one knew.

Chen An did not want another person to know about this. He still wanted to hide his true strength.

Therefore, before leaving the scene, he ignited a wisp of alchemic fire on his fingertip with a whoosh and destroyed the corpse.

After checking back and forth and confirming that there were no traces left at the scene, he rode his sword and flew towards the Sect Master’s cave abode to attend the banquet.

As for the three storage rings that he had just plundered, he was not in a hurry to count the spoils of war inside. He wanted to go home and count them after attending the banquet.

Heaven and Earth Palace, Sect Master’s cave abode.

Chen An had just landed at the entrance of the cave when Ning Xian’er came out to welcome him.

Today, she was wearing a light pink court dress. Her waist-length black hair was tied up with a crystal clear phoenix hairpin. She wore a pair of jade pearl earrings on her pink earlobes. As she walked, her fair legs were faintly visible under the slit skirt, making her look especially attractive.

Chen An’s gaze was attracted, and he could not help but admire Ning Xian’er’s fair legs under her dress.

Although Ning Xian’er had lived for more than 200 years, she was still a virgin.

At this moment, Chen An was staring at her legs openly. She could not help but feel a little embarrassed. She could only try her best to maintain her composure and smile politely.

“Deacon Chen, everyone is here. You’re the only one left.”

“I’m sorry, my daughter wasn’t feeling well when 1 was about to set off just now. I checked up on her and was delayed.”

Chen An casually found an excuse to explain. When he lied, his eyes did not show any abnormality. It was very natural.

He did not dare to tell the truth that he had encountered something on the way here. He was afraid that someone would link him to the disappearance of the three elders in the future.

“Deacon Chen is really a good father.” Ning Xian’er was really praising him. She didn’t sound sarcastic. After saying that, she smiled faintly and said, “Deacon Chen, let’s go in.”

“Okay.”

Chen An nodded and entered Sect Master Xiao Qingyue’s cave abode with Ning Xian’er.

On the way, he curiously sized up Xiao Qingyue’s cave abode.

It was very simple and there were basically no decorations.

The only eye-catching decoration was the night pearl on the cave wall.

In this regard, he recalled how he had asked Ning Xian’er about her master when they were chatting in the past.

At that time, Ning Xian’er’s evaluation was that her master was simple, and so was her life.

From the looks of it, that was indeed the case.

Chen An had a much better impression of Xiao Qingyue.

He liked such simple and plain women, just like how he liked Wen Zhiyun, who was an ascetic Cultivator back then.

As they continued to advance deeper, Chen An arrived at the hall inside the cave abode under Ning Xian’er’s lead.

There, he saw Sect Master Xiao Qingyue.

Today, Xiao Qingyue was different from her usual style. She was wearing a red gauze robe and a thin open-necked plain brocade robe inside, revealing snow-white and alluring skin. She was charming and flirtatious, forming a different style from the Holy Maiden Ning Xian’er’s outfit today.

One was flirtatious, while the other was pure and flawless.

Chen An asked himself honestly. He was really mesmerized by this master and disciple today.

However, he did not show much and had been trying his best to restrain himself.

On both sides of Xiao Qingyue sat two women with a few silver strands in their hair.

Chen An recognized these two older women. They were Elder Qin Fang of the Hundred Herb Hall and Elder Liu Cuiyu of the Weapon Forgery.

The looks and figures of these two female elders were not particularly outstanding. Furthermore, they looked rather old as well. They were Elders of the Heaven Earth Sect.

“Sect Master.”

“Elder Qin.”

“Elder Liu.”

Chen An greeted the three of them politely.

As a deacon, he had to put on a good front when facing his fellow disciples above the elder level.

Although his current strength was enough to suppress these two female elders with one hand, he had no intention of revealing his strength at the moment.

If he wanted to show off, he would have to wait until he broke through to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm in the future.

In the face of Chen An’s proactive greeting, the two female elders smiled and nodded in response. They did not respond.

This was the attitude an elder should have.

As the Sect Master, Xiao Qingyue had a pair of dignified and elegant phoenix eyes. She parted her lips and said, “Deacon Chen, please take a seat.”

As she said this, she pretended to casually glance at Chen An’s handsome face. His exquisite and flawless cold face looked calm, but in fact, there was a ripple in her heart.

Deacon Chen was really handsome. Even I almost couldn’t resist him. No wonder Xian’er was charmed by him…

Xiao Qingyue thought to herself.

Chen An did not know that this cold and aloof Sect Master was thinking about this. He only sat opposite her according to her instructions and waited for the banquet to begin.

Holy Maiden Ning Xian’er instinctively wanted to sit down beside him, but fortunately, she reacted in time. She turned around and walked unhurriedly to her master, Xiao Qingyue, to sit down.

This was a formal occasion. She could not sit beside Chen An and chat casually like she usually did when she was alone with him.

Seeing that everyone was here, Xiao Qingyue gently waved her sleeve at the table. The next moment, the table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and nectar, making one’s appetite increase greatly.

If Little Yi Ke saw this table of food, she would probably be so excited that she would jump on the spot, right?

Looking at the table of delicacies in front of him, Chen An’s first thought was not to taste it himself, but to think of the silly foodie second daughter.

He thought to himself that if he could not finish these expensive delicacies later, he would tell the Sect Master to bring them back for his second daughter to eat.

Just as he was thinking about all this nonsense, Xiao Qingyue suddenly spoke out, “Deacon Chen, tonight, I’ll officially invite you to join our faction and work hard for the future of the Heaven Earth Sect together.”

Eh? Faction? What was this?

Chen An did not understand what Xiao Qingyue was talking about..
