Chapter 463: Settling The Aftermath
After Qin Chuan clarified the rumors, the spectators left one after another.
The results of their duel and the process quickly spread throughout the Luo Ding Sect’s headquarters.
Some of the disciples who hadn’t gone were very surprised when they heard this. They were basically in disbelief and thought that it was a joke.
Fan Zhibao was a Heaven Immortal. Furthermore, he was quite talented and could be considered a genius.
On the other hand, Zhu Xiaoming was an ordinary person they had never heard of before. Moreover, he was only in the fifth cla.s.s of the Mahayana realm.
Anyone below the Immortal realm was a n.o.body.
Although Fan Zhibao had just transcended the immortal tribulation and had not consolidated his realm completely, it was still quite easy to kill a Mahayana cultivator.
However, he ended up being killed by the Mahayana cultivator instead.
Furthermore, he was killed after being demonized.
One could imagine how powerful Zhu Xiaoming was.
Those disciples who had not personally witnessed this miracle were full of regrets.
Dao Technique Chamber.
As the duel of life and death ended, the human traffic slowly recovered.
Everyone was discussing the duel between Qin Chuan and Fan Zhibao.
Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping did not go. They were also very surprised when they heard the results.
Lu Yiping was relatively better, and her reaction wasn’t as strong.
After hearing the description of the duel from these people, she was even more certain about her guesses.
While Gu Mengyao was shocked, she also heaved a sigh of relief. She felt that the boulder weighing on her heart was finally lifted.
In the sect’s main hall.
In the conference hall, the elders who had gone to the Arena of Life and Death appeared.
A few minutes ago, they had received the Sect Master’s order and rushed here.
These elders seemed to have guessed the reason why the Sect Master was so anxious to gather them.
It must be because Fan Zhibao turned into a fiend.
No matter what, Fan Zhibao was a genius. Although he couldn’t be considered one of the top ones, he still had a chance of cultivating to the Immortal King realm.
But they had watched as such a genius turned into a fiend under their eyes.
These elders also felt very wronged.
This was not their intention at all. Lan Lang was the one who refused to let them go down.
At this moment, Xu Longfei arrived.
The elders immediately stood in two rows and bowed.
Xu Longfei glanced at them and said, “Elders, there’s nothing serious about me calling you over so urgently. There’s no need for you to be so nervous.”
The elders looked down at each other, and the blue-robed elder stepped forward.
He bowed to Xu Longfei and said, “Sect Master, we are indeed responsible for Fan Zhibao turning into a fiend, but there is also a reason for that. Please listen to our explanation.”
Xu Longfei smiled. “Elder Zheng, I’m well aware of this matter. The responsibility is not on you, so you don’t have to explain.
“I asked you to come here for another matter.”
The elders were shocked.
Xu Longfei continued, “All of you should be clear about how much potentioal Zhu Xiaoming has!”
The elders were instantly enlightened.
So the Sect Master had gathered us because of Zhu Xiaoming.
Come to think of it, with Zhu Xiaoming’s combat strength, he was definitely going to enter the Chosen Roll. Furthermore, his placing probably won’t be low.
In comparison, geniuses like Fan Zhibao were somewhat ordinary.
Without Fan Zhibao, no one would have discovered Zhu Xiaoming’s ma.s.sive potential.
Using Fan Zhibao’s life to exchange for a genius with even greater potential was very worth it.
“Sect Master, this disciple named Zhu Xiaoming has really amazed us.
“We never expected him to have such strength. We were wrong.
“With his ability to fight above his realm, he’s completely qualified to enter the Chosen Roll,” praised the blue-robed elder loudly.
Xu Longfei nodded. “I actually knew about this long ago.”
The elders were shocked again.
Xu Longfei continued, “You might be curious about his ident.i.ty.
“Here, I’ll tell you everything.
“Zhu Xiaoming’s real ident.i.ty is actually Qin Xiaochuan. ”
The elders were stunned, their hearts pounding.
Qin Xiaochuan?
The chosen one.
Question marks were written all over the elders’ faces, and they were in disbelief.
They had never seen the battle between Qin Chuan and the genius of the Demon race, Peng Yuhui. When they heard the Demon race claim that they had gone easy on him, they thought that Qin Chuan was just lucky and didn’t have much strength.
But now, the Sect Master had personally said that Zhu Xiaoming was Qin XIaochuan.
In that case, Qin Xiaochuan wasn’t what everyone thought he was. Furthermore, the battle with the paragon of the Demon race had nothing to do with getting off easy. Instead, he won with his strength.
The elders were still in disbelief.
As they pondered, Xu Longfei spoke again. “I’ve already told you all about Zhu Xiaoming’s ident.i.ty. Please keep it a secret, Elders.”
The elders understood Xu Longfei’s intentions.
They immediately replied, “We swear to the heavens that we will definitely guard this secret Otherwise, we will be struck by lightning and never be able to advance our cultivation.”
After the oath was made, Xu Longfei was immediately relieved.
He did all this to protect Qin Chuan’s ident.i.ty.
He couldn’t guarantee that these elders wouldn’t a.s.sociate Zhu Xiaoming with Qin Xiaohuan.
He didn’t dare to take such a risk.
If everyone knew that Zhu Xiaoming was Qin Xiaochuan, it would definitely bring him some danger.
Right now, the outside world wasn’t too peaceful, and the various factions in the Immortal realm were also in turmoil.
The fewer people who knew his strength, the safer he would be.
There was silence for a moment.
The blue-robed elder seemed to have thought of something and said, “Sect Master, I have a worry. I don’t know if I should share it.”
Xu Longfei said, “Elder, please speak.”
“Fan Zhibao is the personal disciple of Elder Chen Feng. Although he will definitely not survive after the demonic transformation, this matter is still related to Qin… Zhu Xiaoming.
“With Elder Chen Feng’s protective nature, I’m afraid there will be some trouble. ”
“This is indeed troublesome, but we already have a solution to this matter, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Although Xu Longfei had said that, he had not had a solution yet.
Back then, the reason why he went to look for Qin Chuan and asked him to be lenient was that he was worried that Chen Feng would get him into trouble because he was overprotective.
Back then, he had also spent a lot of effort to poach Chen Feng here.
Now that such a thing had happened, if this wasn’t handled well, Chen Feng would probably leave.
“Qin Xiaochuan! Qin Xiaochuan, you sure know how to stir up trouble for me.”
Xu Longfei cursed Qin Chuan in his heart.
“Elders, I have nothing else to say. If you have nothing else, you can leave now,” said Xu Longfei.
“We’re done here too.”
Then, the elders bowed to Xu Longfei. “We’ll take our leave then.”
Xu Longfei watched them leave.
Not long after these elders left, a cochlear-shaped jade pendant on Xu Longfei’s waist suddenly flickered with a vermillion glow.
This jade pendant was a communication-type magical artifact.
Xu Longfei’s communication artifact was extraordinary. It could pick up news from all over the immortal realms, including some gossip or hearsay.
Xu Longfei’s expression turned serious when he saw the glow on the magical artifact.
“The Heavenly Secrets Court works really fast!”
Xu Longfei sighed helplessly. Without checking his magical artifact, he could guess what the news was.
Then, he read the information and couldn’t help but be stunned. His expression became even more solemn.
…
Dao Technique Chamber.
At this moment, the Dao Technique Chamber had resumed its previous flow of people.
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
