Chapter 360 The Sect Leader Invites
And at this time in the Shenlei Palace.
Yun Chen had no idea about his master's affairs.
He was consolidating his cultivation with Zhao Xiruo in the bedroom.
With the addition of those resources, plus the Hunyuan Pearl, Zhao Xiruo's realm has now been completely stabilized at the middle stage of foundation building.
The next step is to strive for the later stage, but Lei Miaoyun said that Ruoruo does not need to participate in the qualifying competition for the time being, so time is not so urgent.
As for Yun Chen, Lei Miaoyun's promise has not changed, and he still needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.
But no matter how he improved, his cultivation remained stuck at the early stage of the Golden Core stage and made no progress.
This made Yun Chen once again feel the extraordinary physique of Zhao Xiruo.
It hasn't been long since he raised his cultivation to the middle stage of foundation building. I'm afraid it won't be long before he can surpass me.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you can't win first place, it doesn't matter. The Gu family father and son can always find another way."
Seeing that he was frowning, Zhao Xiruo reached out and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows. Her voice was as soft as if soaked in warm water: "At worst, I can ask that woman to help me get the person back."
Yun Chen held her hand, and the warmth from his palm eased his nerves a little. "I know, it's just... I want to protect you. I hate this feeling of being helpless in the face of danger."
Since he came down the mountain until now, everything has been smooth sailing. He has never felt so frustrated.
Living under someone else's roof, why do you have to look up to others for anything you do? Even... you have to rely on your own woman.
If not for this, he would have gone to the Gu family’s house in person to ask for it.
"You're already great."
Zhao Xiruo leaned on his shoulder with a sweet smile on her face: "I'm safe now, don't worry about me."
Yun Chen nodded gently, his lips covering the top of Zhao Xiruo's head, with a sigh of tenderness: "With you around, I feel at ease."
Zhao Xiruo looked up at him, with a faint red at the corners of her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hall, accompanied by the disciples' hurried shouts.
"Senior Brother Yunchen! The Sect Master has returned! He wants you to go to the meeting hall immediately. He said there's something urgent!"
The warmth between the two was instantly interrupted. Yun Chen suddenly stood up straight, and Zhao Xiruo also quickly sat up straight and reached out to help him straighten his slightly messy collar.
"Lei Miaoyun is looking for me?"
Yun Chen turned around and couldn't help but look at Zhao Xiruo.
Since he went into seclusion, Lei Miaoyun has never looked for him except for the time when Zhao Xiruo broke through.
In order not to disturb him, he even ordered other disciples not to disturb his retreat.
Now suddenly looking for him...?
Could it be that there is news about the Gu family father and son?
"Go take a look first."
Zhao Xiruo looked at Yun Chen and nodded at him.
Yun Chen nodded and stood up.
"I know, I'll go right away."
Yun Chen quickly opened the door of the hall and walked out.
A moment later, he appeared at the door of the master's hall.
At this time, the door of the hall was closed. Yun Chen raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door. Immediately, Lei Miaoyun's calm voice came from inside: "Come in."
He pushed the door open and walked in. The atmosphere in the hall was so solemn that it made people feel nervous.
Lei Miaoyun sat in the main seat, and the dark patterns on his Xuan Lei Taoist robe still retained a faint electric light.
The elders on both sides had gloomy expressions on their faces, their eyes fixed on him. On the table was a black snake-shaped token engraved with twisted runes, emitting a cold light.
"Master, are you looking for me?"
Yun Chen bowed and glanced at the token without taking it seriously.
Lei Miaoyun didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Yun Chen, let me ask you, you said you were born in the secular world and your master is also in the secular world, so did your master ever come with you to the secret realm of cultivation?"
Yun Chen couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't understand why Lei Miaoyun asked this. After thinking for a while, he said, "No, Ruoruo and I are the only ones who came to the secular world."
At that time, only he, Zhao Xiruo and Gu Hong were sealed in the barrier.
His master was outside at the time, so it was impossible for him to come in.
Hearing Yun Chen say this, Lei Miaoyun breathed a sigh of relief with a barely perceptible sense.
She said that it must have been fabricated by the Lin family father and daughter in order to ask for someone from the Thunder Palace.
Otherwise, how could Yun Chen not know.
"Then let me ask you again, besides that girl Zhao Xiruo, have you ever had an affair with any other woman?" Lei Miaoyun asked again.
Yun Chen was confused by the question and looked at Lei Miaoyun in surprise.
"Just answer the question, why are you looking at me?"
"Master, this is not a joke. If Ruoruo knew about this, she would misunderstand." Yun Chen spoke quickly.
Lei Miaoyun narrowed her eyes and looked at Yun Chen sharply: "So, there is nothing left?"
"Of course not." Yun Chen shook his head firmly in denial.
Besides Zhao Xiruo, who did he have an affair with?
Isn't this someone who is so blind as to spread rumors about himself?
Hearing Yun Chen's answer, Lei Miaoyun's eyes showed obvious satisfaction.
"I don't think you dare. If you dare to hook up with other women behind my precious apprentice's back, I will destroy you first."
Yun Chen: ...
So he called me here just to teach me a lesson?
"Master, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave." Yun Chen said lightly.
When did it become someone else's turn to interfere in the relationship between him and Zhao Xiruo?
Besides, would I be letting my wife down?
Do I need you to tell me that?
"Not urgent."
Lei Miaoyun stood up and pointed at the token beside him: "Do you recognize this?"
Yun Chen looked in the direction of Lei Miaoyun's finger and his eyes fell on the snake-shaped black token.
He frowned slightly and walked forward to take a closer look.
The Japanese runes on the surface of the token exuded a mysterious and strange aura. Although he had never seen it before, he could guess from the solemn atmosphere in the hall that this was no ordinary thing.
"Master, I have never seen this thing before, but judging from the pattern of the runes, it doesn't seem to be something from our Eastern Continent's Taoist tradition." Yun Chen said truthfully.
Lei Miaoyun looked serious and said in a deep voice, "This is the token of the Shadow Snake Group, an assassination organization of Japanese monks."
"A monk from Japan? An islander?"
Yun Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
A hundred years ago, the island nation of Bactria was plagued by cholera, killing countless compatriots and being worse than animals.
Qian Yong had said before that if he had the chance, he would go to the island country to avenge his ancestors, and Yun Chen also said that he would be one of them.
But before they could realize their wish, they arrived at a secret realm for practicing magic.
I didn't expect to meet a monk from the island country in the secret realm of practicing magic.
Lei Miaoyun nodded solemnly: "Not long ago, the Divine Thunder Palace captured a Japanese assassin, and he was carrying this thing."
Elder Lei beside him nodded in agreement, "A hundred years ago, the Shadow Snake Group sneaked into the Eastern Continent to steal the Taoist secrets. Now, for some unknown reason, they've reappeared in my Divine Thunder Palace. So, what do you think about this?"
As he spoke, Elder Lei turned his gaze towards Yun Chen, and Lei Miaoyun and the others also looked towards Yun Chen upon seeing this.
