Chapter 321: Chapter 321: This is your senior sister Qin!

"Lu Chen, you can’t kill me!"

Xu Qianqian cried out in alarm, her shrill voice tearing through the night, carrying into the distance.

A flicker passed through Lu Chen’s eyes; he had been careless, thinking Xu Qianqian wouldn’t dare to scream!

But now, with no other choice, he exerted force in his hand, and immediately, a greyish-white Five Elements Spiritual Power surged forth, slashing towards Xu Qianqian’s neck!

However, in the next instant, a white light suddenly flared from Xu Qianqian’s chest, immediately protecting her entire body!

Lu Chen’s spear seemed to smash against a piece of hard iron!

Bang!

Xu Qianqian was sent flying, yet emerged completely unscathed!

But Lu Chen’s hand was split open at the base of his thumb, and blood flowed out like a stream!

"Big Brother Lu, run! She has an amulet from the Hehuan Sect!"

By this time, Qin Zhantian had also reacted, hastily shouting a warning.

Simultaneously, from the direction of the eastern palace, lights appeared, clearly revealing that many martial artist guards had been alerted by Xu Qianqian’s scream and were rushing to the scene!

It wasn’t that Lu Chen was afraid of these martial artists, but he worried it would cause trouble!

The immediate priority, if Xu Qianqian couldn’t be killed, was to leave first!

However...

He looked at Qin Zhantian and said in a low voice, "Do you choose to stay, or will you come with me?"

Qin Zhantian opened his mouth, clenched his teeth and said, "I’ll go!"

"Good!"

Lu Chen strode forward and with his spear, he scooped under Qin Zhantian’s armpit, lifting him into the air, then stepped on the spear himself, grabbed the back of Qin Zhantian’s neck, and sped away!

Within moments, the area returned to deathly silence.

"I didn’t expect... Lu Chen had actually reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

Xu Qianqian touched her tender neck, and though she wasn’t seriously hurt, Lu Chen’s Five Elements Spiritual Power had slightly penetrated the shield, leaving her feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Her gaze lingered in the direction where Lu Chen and Qin Zhantian had vanished, with a hint of murderous intent flickering in her eyes.

Before long, two figures swiftly arrived, a man and a woman, landing in front of Xu Qianqian, both remarkably at the Foundation Establishment Realm!

"Junior Sister Xu, has someone tried to harm you?"

The man spoke up first.

"Senior Brother Chen, a loose cultivator coveted Junior Sister’s beauty, but thankfully, Senior Brother fetched the amulet from the sect, preventing her from succeeding!"

Xu Qianqian deliberately concealed Lu Chen’s identity because she had a more malicious idea in mind!

She knew well enough that Lu Chen must have encountered some fortune in Tianyuan; otherwise, how could a mere martial artist break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage in such a short time?

Furthermore, he had withdrawn swiftly without success, which indicated he was also wary of the Hehuan Sect’s strength!

Thinking about it, he would likely hide in Tianyuan for a while...

Once I’m prepared, I’ll go to Tianyuan, find him, force him into dual cultivation, absorb his essence, and then wouldn’t his opportunity become mine?

"It’s good that you’re unharmed, you are a disciple favored by our master," Senior Brother Chen nodded, and with a smile pointed to the woman beside him, saying, "This is Senior Sister Qin."

Xu Qianqian was taken aback. She knew that only Senior Brother Chen had come to the Great Qin Palace from the Hehuan Sect; how come there was now a Senior Sister Qin?

Wait, Qin?

Could she also be a member of the Qin royal family?

Senior Brother Chen seemed to discern Xu Qianqian’s thoughts and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Qin is not from the state of Qin, rest assured."

"I greet Senior Sister Qin," said Xu Qianqian, who, as a member of the Xu Family and a chess piece for the Polar Treasure Meeting at the Heavenly Book Academy, was naturally tactful. She put on a smile, stepped forward, and said, "Oh, Senior Sister Qin is quite beautiful!"

"Junior Sister Xu is not bad either."

Qin Yaotiao replied indifferently, but she seemed somewhat distracted.

Since waking up outside of Tianyuan, she had been aimless and disoriented, happening upon Chen Mingtan by chance.

The man, also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was extremely enthusiastic about Qin Yaotiao. Once he learned she was a loose cultivator, he mentioned their righteous sect would soon be attracting disciples at an upcoming major event in the cultivation world. He thus invited her to join their sect.

Qin Yaotiao, having nowhere else to turn and having been rebuked by Li Qingyao, felt that Lu Chen would definitely listen to her and not seek Qin Yaotiao out anymore.

Heartbroken, she accepted Chen Mingtan’s invitation.

Chen Mingtan informed her that once Xu Qianqian’s wedding was concluded, they could travel to the Hehuan Sect together.

It so happened that when Xu Qianqian’s amulet was activated, Chen Mingtan, fearing an accident, brought Qin Yaotiao with him to the location.

Little did he know, by the time she arrived, Lu Chen had already left!

Seeing Qin Yaotiao show little interest, Xu Qianqian kept a wary eye on her and guessed that Qin Yaotiao, like herself, might also be a new disciple of the Hehuan Sect.

Perhaps...

She didn’t even know what the Hehuan Sect was all about!
