Chapter 1332: It’s over, just brush off your clothes and go away
At the same time, another middle-aged cultivator also asked through telepathy:
"Elder Xue, I think this person is definitely that cultivator. Should we take him down now?"
"Don't worry, I will make the decision myself." The old man called Elder Xue replied calmly through telepathy.
Then, he cupped his fists and smiled at everyone:
"Fellow Daoists, we are from the Immortal Alliance. We have received news that Pisces Immortal City was attacked by a wave of demonic beasts. I wonder why it ended so quickly? Could it be that the demons retreated on their own?"
Immortal Venerable Yuehua, Immortal Venerable Yifeng and others had already flown forward at this time. After hearing what was said, Immortal Venerable Chiyang took the lead and briefly recounted what had happened.
Especially when talking about how Lu Chen single-handedly killed the leaders of the demon and monster tribes and turned the tide of the war, his description was vivid and inspiring.
However, the four powerful immortals of the Immortal Alliance looked at each other in surprise when they heard this. It was hard for them to imagine that Lu Chen, who was in the Taiyi Xuanxian realm like them, had such terrifying combat power.
Elder Xue once again examined Lu Chen without leaving any trace, but his heart was basically at ease. The cultivator in front of him was the one who killed Sima Mingyi in the Chaos Secret Realm.
First of all, he has amazing strength and owns an ancient mythical beast, the Pixiu. If it weren't him, who else could it be? How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Sima Mingyi's death was just as Li Zegang had guessed, which angered the entire Zangtian Divine Sect. The sect leader Sima Changchun even mobilized the entire sect to get to the bottom of the matter.
He also offered two top-grade immortal veins as a reward just to find the cultivator who possessed the ancient mythical beast Pixiu.
"Thank you for your hard work, young friend. May I ask your name?" Elder Xue feigned surprise, looking at Lu Chen with a hint of admiration. "I can't believe you're so young, yet you care about the world and possess such amazing strength. It's truly admirable."
Lu Chen did not reply immediately after hearing this, because he always felt that the old man in front of him looked at him with a wrong look just now. As for what was wrong specifically, he couldn't tell why.
Just as Lu Chen was recalling Elder Xue's actions just now, the middle-aged Immortal Venerable beside him saw that Lu Chen was silent and immediately scolded him in a low voice:
"How dare you! Elder Xue asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"
"Boss, this old bastard has such a bad temper. Do you want me to teach him a lesson?" Xiao Qiu saw this and immediately said loudly in a sarcastic tone. Especially when he mentioned "old bastard", he not only emphasized his tone, but also looked at the monk with contempt.
The monks who were watching around were shocked to see that "Xiaoqiu" was so humane. They began to talk among themselves in low voices, and some even laughed out loud.
These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, causing the middle-aged immortal's face to instantly turn gloomy, and the anger in his eyes almost bursting out.
He had been practicing for hundreds of thousands of years and had never suffered such a great humiliation, not to mention that the one who scolded him was a beast.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Yuehua Immortal Venerable, Baicao Immortal Venerable and others present tried to avoid conflict.
Immortal Venerable Yuehua stepped forward first and advised, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down. My silence is not out of disrespect to Elder Xue, but rather due to excessive exertion and physical weakness, making it difficult for me to speak. I hope you will forgive me."
An old guy is an old guy. He doesn't even blink when talking about panic. Lu Chen doesn't look weak at all.
Immediately afterwards, Baicao Immortal Venerable also stepped forward and said gently but without question: "Yes, everyone knows that this Taoist friend single-handedly killed two demon clan leaders. Such an achievement is enough to prove his strength and courage.
We should be more concerned with preventing the demons from making a comeback, rather than engaging in internal strife."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen looked at Yuehua Immortal Venerable, Baiyao Immortal Venerable and others with gratitude, thinking that it seems that not everyone in this world is ungrateful, and his actions just now were not in vain.
At this moment, the middle-aged Immortal Venerable's expression became even uglier. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Elder Xue stepped in to smooth things over and said, "It's okay, it's just a small matter. Everyone, please be quiet."
After calming the middle-aged monk, Elder Xue said:
"I wonder if you would like to join our Immortal Alliance? With your strength and talent, you will surely play a greater role in the battle against the demons."
Lu Chen finally withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, senior. However, I still have a lot of unfinished business and need to continue my cultivation and training. I apologize for not being able to join the Immortal Alliance."
This statement startled everyone present. After all, the Immortal Alliance represented one of the highest powers in the Immortal Realm, and receiving their invitation was an opportunity that countless cultivators dreamed of.
However, Lu Chen's choice was beyond everyone's expectations.
Elder Xue saw Lu Chen's firm attitude and could only smile awkwardly and said:
"Since that's the case, I won't force you any more. I hope that if fate allows, you can fight alongside us in the future."
Lu Chen nodded slightly in acknowledgement. He then turned to the monks from Pisces City and said loudly, "Everyone, today's event is a matter of fate. I believe anyone who encounters this will take action if they are able. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen took Xiaoqiu with him and disappeared from the spot in a flash.
Everyone who came to their senses suddenly burst into an uproar. They didn't expect Lu Chen to leave so decisively.
Everyone was impressed by Lu Chen's demeanor, because he really did it. He left after the task was completed, and hid his achievements and fame. No one knew Lu Chen's name from beginning to end.
"Elder Xue, should we chase after him?" The middle-aged cultivator who was scolded by Xiao Qiu just now asked, looking at the direction where Lu Chen left.
"No need, I already know his true identity. This time I must make that old bastard Sima Changchun bleed heavily." Elder Xue waved his hand with a mysterious smile on his face.
There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, as if he had already seen the huge benefits that were about to come...
At the same time, on the top of a mountain hundreds of miles away, the figures of Lu Chen and Xiao Qiu suddenly appeared.
"Boss, why are you leaving in such a hurry? We've done them such a big favor, we should at least ask for some benefits from them."
Xiaoqiu grumbled in dissatisfaction, drawing runes in the air with his fingers.
Lu Chen said unhappily, "If you want to stay, then go back on your own. I saw that you were flattered just now and you must be reluctant to leave."
Hearing what Lu Chen said, Xiao Qiu's heart skipped a beat. He immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly apologized with a smile: "Boss, I know I was wrong! I just said it casually, please don't take it to heart, and don't be angry!"……………………
