C312 Northwest Ancient Battlefield
"It's you!"
Yun Tao was stunned for a moment before he suddenly cried out in alarm. A panicked expression appeared on his originally calm face.
"Yun Tao, we meet again." Lu Chen also recognized Yun Tao and looked at him with a smile.
"You're the helper they hired?" Lu Chen glanced at Yun Chang and the others and asked with a smile.
"This …"
"You misunderstand me, I'm just here to watch the show." Yun Tao quickly denied it. His flustered appearance had shocked Yun Chang and the others.
"Brother Tao, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you say that you would help us teach this kid a lesson!" Yun Chang was a little confused. Yun Tao was a direct disciple, and one that was an expert in Innate Martial Master Level at that.
Lu Chen glanced at Yun Tao and said lightly, "Yun Tao, what they said is very clear. You are the one who wants to support them."
He originally thought that he was just helping Yun Chang to teach a new disciple a lesson, but it turned out to be Lu Chen, this great god. He had personally experienced Lu Chen's terror during the direct disciple test, and later on, the other party even broke through to beat Zhang Qiang to become the youngest direct disciple.
"I think there might be some misunderstanding..." Yun Tao chuckled awkwardly, feeling a headache coming on.
"Misunderstanding? "Why don't you tell me what kind of misunderstanding it is? If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I'll deal with you, Yun Tao, today as well." Lu Chen was still smiling, but his smile looked especially cold in Yun Tao's eyes.
"Bastard, is Brother Tao's name randomly called by you?" "You really are shameless." The tall youth who did not have any experience suddenly berated. With his surging momentum, it seemed like he was going to attack the next second. He was so angry that Yun Tao wanted to tear this bastard apart.
"Pah!"
The resounding and crisp sound of the slap shocked everyone.
"Brother Tao, you …" The tall youth covered his face with his hands, disbelief written all over his face.
"There's no place for you to interrupt. If you dare to say another word, I'll take care of you first." Yun Tao glared ferociously at the tall young man, causing the latter's face to turn pale in an instant.
Yun Chang looked at the uncertain expression on Yun Tao's face and immediately felt a sense of ominous foreboding.
"Brother Tao, who is he?" Yun Chang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Who is he? You guys didn't even know who he is and yet you dare to offend him? Yun Tao glared at Yun Chang and said resentfully.
"Could he also be a direct disciple?" Yun Chang was shocked and started to guess.
"A direct disciple is nothing in front of him!" Yun Tao said unhappily.
"Could it be..." Yun Chang's face turned pale as he realized the severity of the problem.
Lu Chen didn't pay attention to the whispers between the two of them. He took a step forward and said with a smile, "Since you stood up for them, then let's settle today's matter properly."
"Lu Chen, I'm sorry, they only offended you unintentionally. I apologize on behalf of them, I will definitely discipline them more in the future." At this moment, Yun Tao really wanted to ruthlessly teach Liu Tie and the others a lesson, but due to the situation, he could only brace himself and directly apologize to Lu Chen. He knew Lu Chen's strength, even the senior direct disciple like Zhang Qiang was no match for him.
"Lu Chen? He is Lu Chen? "
"How is this possible!"
Hearing Yun Tao's words, the tall youth, including Yun Chang, were dumbfounded! The new disciple that they were going to teach a lesson to was actually the rumored monster. Now, it was even the terrifying existence of the fifth senior direct disciple!
It was no wonder that Yun Tao's expression had changed since the beginning, because the other party was an existence that they could not afford to provoke. An existence of this kind of monstrous level, was like the Yun Family behind Yun Tao, who did not dare to easily offend him, because if nothing went wrong, Lu Chen would definitely become an extreme expert in the Blue Cloud Sect if he were to successfully mature. At that time, his authority would be sufficient to determine the Yun Family's rise and fall.
"I really kicked a steel plate." Yun Chang and the tall youth looked at each other. They could see the lingering fear in each other's eyes. They thought that Lu Chen was just an ordinary new disciple.
Moreover, they had heard of Lu Chen's achievements. Not only was this guy's talent monstrous, he was also incomparably tyrannical. Even the Second Peak's Lei Cheng was beaten up, offending the ruthless Lei Qing.2
"Unintentional offense? Think of it as a reason. "
"I'm also a very easy-going person. Since you've offended me, who is a senior direct disciple, then you naturally have to pay a price. Everyone hand over a hundred thousand soul crystals and I'll let you leave. Otherwise, what happens? Hehe …"
After saying that, Lu Chen grinned, which immediately gave Yun Chang and the rest goosebumps.
"We'll do it, we'll definitely do it!" Yun Chang and the others nodded like chicks pecking rice. They were afraid that if they reacted too slowly, they would be beaten up by Lu Chen again.
"That was close." Yun Tao heaved a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Lu Chen would attack him, but if he really did fight, it would be considered good for him to escape. According to his calculations, Lu Chen should have the strength of an innate Fifth Layer Of Martial Master, or maybe even stronger.
Yun Chang and the rest's business was just a small incident. Lu Chen had obtained hundreds of thousands of soul crystals for no reason, so he was in a good mood. As soon as he returned to his residence, he met someone he knew.
"Junior Brother Lu, where did you go?" Zhao Menger had a slender figure and snow-white skin. She stood tall and slender, and her beautiful eyes were like water as she stared at Lu Chen.
"Senior Sister Zhao."
"What a coincidence!" Lu Chen had a wry smile on his face. It seemed that Zhao Menger had been waiting here for a long time.
"What coincidence? I've been waiting for you for such a long time."
"I don't know where you ran off to, so you stayed here." Zhao Menger rolled her eyes and said snappily.
After hearing that, Lu Chen could only smile helplessly. For the better part of half a year, he had a good understanding of Zhao Menger's Senior Martial Sister's character. Being able to have her guard here waiting for him was clearly an important matter, otherwise, with her temper, she would have already ignored him and gone back to her room to cultivate.
"There's something I need to discuss with you. Although it's not very important, it might be related to you." After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Menger said seriously.
"What's the matter with Senior Sister Zhao?"
"Do you want me to stand here and talk? and don't invite me in for a drink of water. " Zhao Menger glared at him and said snappily.
"Senior Sister, please come in …"
Inside the palace, Lu Chen and Zhao Menger were sitting facing each other. He was curious about the matter that would cause Zhao Menger, the senior direct disciple, to be so serious.
"This is related to the northwest ancient battlefield …"
"Northwest Ancient Battlefield?" Lu Chen frowned. This was the first time he had heard of this place.
