Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Putting on a Show with Qin Zhantian!

"Who’s there!"

Although Chen Gaoshang didn’t make a single sound.

The group of youngsters, having lived in the darkness for a long time, had long become accustomed to life without light. There was no ventilation here, and the only air flow came from the sliver of sky above.

As Chen Gaoshang squeezed in, he blocked the passage of air, and the youths, who were gathered around, naturally noticed something!

But Chen Gaoshang, unaware of the situation, thought the shout was not directed at him.

Still, he stopped in his tracks.

But Lu Chen turned his head sharply, looking towards the direction of the sliver of sky!

The other person had concealed their breath and remained perfectly still, not making any noise.

His pupils allowed him to see in the dark, and he immediately spotted Chen Gaoshang!

"Cultivator!"

Lu Chen saw no flow of Spiritual Power on his body, but his demeanor made it clear that he was a cultivator of orthodox origin. However, the slight smile on his face with a hint of lecherousness gave Lu Chen the instant recognition that this man must surely be from Hehuan Sect!

He dared not even let out a breath.

His gaze swept past quickly, afraid that looking for a moment longer would attract Chen Gaoshang’s attention!

"It’s me. Hurry back to your cultivation!"

Lu Chen said to the group of young men, hinting at something with his words.

The youngsters, with Sun Ming and Lin Rui leading them, immediately caught the hidden meaning in Lu Chen’s words. It was clear to them that there were people in the sliver of sky they could not deal with, so Lu Chen was telling them to stay away from this place!

At the same time, Lu Chen quickly returned, walking up to meet the youngsters. He casually placed his hand around Qin Zhantian’s neck and sneered, deliberately raising his voice, "Little Prince, you don’t say it’s not you, do you?"

Qin Zhantian, ever so astute, realized Lu Chen’s abnormal behaviour and understood his intention.

"Mercy, Immortal Master, I truly do not know!"

Although he didn’t know Lu Chen’s plan, using it to obfuscate the inexplicable danger was enough for the moment.

Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised; he hadn’t expected Qin Zhantian to cooperate so well. It was clear to him that Qin Zhantian’s intelligence was exceptional, making him the perfect leader for these youngsters in the future.

"Hmph," Lu Chen sneered again, tightening his grip on Qin Zhantian’s neck and tossing him toward the entrance of the sliver of sky, "It seems you haven’t suffered enough! Xu Qianqian has been taken into the Hehuan Sect, and the treasures left by the Polar Treasure Meeting, how could you not know where they are? Little Prince, do you believe that I will castrate you so you can never enter the Hehuan Sect again?"

It seemed like a question, but it was actually a reminder for Qin Zhantian. As Lu Chen spoke, he kept an eye on Chen Gaoshang within the sliver of sky out of the corner of his eye!

Sure enough, upon hearing about the treasure, Chen Gaoshang’s eyes revealed a flash of excitement.

A disciple from an orthodox sect, except when given a task by his sect, seldom leaves the sect grounds. All resources for cultivation are provided by the sect.

This time, the purpose of his outing was solely to collect contributions for the sect to elevate his status.

But if there was treasure...

If he obtained it, it would all be his, a real windfall!

He did know a bit. A significant reason Xu Qianqian was accepted as a disciple by the Hehuan Sect was that she had offered a treasure to the sect.

Of course, the Hehuan Sect would not make a big fuss about accepting disciples from second-rate sects; they usually don’t take disciples in the mundane world.

However, the disciple they sent to collect the treasure found that Xu Qianqian did indeed have the talent, so he then returned to the sect to report. The Hehuan Sect then sent an elder along with Chen Gaoshang.

After the elder confirmed Xu Qianqian’s qualifications for joining the Hehuan Sect, he went back to the sect, leaving Chen Gaoshang to handle bringing her to the sect after she finished her affairs.

With the elder gone, everything naturally fell to him!

"Let’s just listen for now. This boy is also at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and I have a unique Breath-Concealing Technique; he simply can’t detect me!"

Chen Gaoshang, quite sure of himself, remained motionless. He had enough confidence and was in this narrow crevice of the sliver of sky, believing that Lu Chen had no chance of discovering him!

"Immortal Master, mercy, hold on, I remember now! It seems she secretly kept one more treasure on her person..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Chen quickly looked towards the sliver of sky!

He saw that Chen Gaoshang’s eyes were filled with avarice, and his focus was entirely on Qin Zhantian!

The opportunity had arrived!

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen flipped his hand and pulled out his long spear, thrusting it towards the sliver of sky!
