Thinking about this deeply, I felt I couldn't continue. I needed to talk to that young man to find out the truth; making a hasty decision like this would be counterproductive.

"The direction of the temple's beam is in this direction, so the young man will probably land in this direction as well." Qianxin thought to himself, and his movement speed increased. A huge net formed of true energy unfolded around him. Every time Qianxin passed through a place, the net of true energy would scan that place, ensuring that no area was missed while he moved at high speed. This not only greatly improved efficiency but also expanded his search range—a perfect solution.

Chen Zhou was now able to move around in the same spot. For some reason, after absorbing the dragon-shaped phantom, all the injuries in his body had been healed, and even the wounds on his body caused by the power of qi and blood had been healed. Now Chen Zhou was sitting cross-legged on the spot, slowly unwrapping the gauze. Since he was already healed, he no longer needed to use the gauze.

Chen Zhou carefully removed the gauze, and his internal energy began to slowly recover. As his internal energy gradually recovered, Chen Zhou's mental state improved significantly. Now, Chen Zhou truly felt the difference between the Enlightenment Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage. In Chen Zhou's current view, it was like heaven and earth. Although it was only a small level, it contained countless powers.

Although Chen Zhou's true energy has not fully recovered, he is now fully confident that his current attack will be much stronger than any attack he used to launch.

"With your current strength, dealing with someone at the Fusion stage should be no problem at all," Elder Ren praised.

Along his journey, Chen Zhou has not only acquired the Primordial Truth and the Root of the Poison Tree, but has also now obtained the inheritance of the True Dragon Phantom of the Temple, further enhancing his strength. However, Chen Zhou is not yet able to fully unleash the true power of these treasures.

Chen Zhou still has a long way to go to truly unleash their full potential.

However, Chen Zhou wasn't in a hurry. He had plenty of time, and all he wanted to do right now was find a place to rest. But given the current situation, even if he wanted to rest, he couldn't.

"Should I go find the people from the three major sects now, or just run away?" Chen Zhou pondered, trying to figure out which option would be more advantageous for him.

"You still want to slip away?" Old Ren said abruptly.

He never expected that Chen Zhou would actually try to slip away. This kid is such a lazy bum.

"My identity as Lord Xi Xiangchen's disciple was a fabrication. I certainly wouldn't be able to answer the elders' questions. So why would I stay here and wait for their punishment if I didn't run away?" Chen Zhou waved his hand and said.

Chen Zhou believed that he might be able to fool the ordinary disciples of this sect with this identity, but if he actually met the sect's elders and they asked him a few questions about Xi Xiangchen, he would definitely not be able to answer them. Before that, he didn't even know who Xi Xiangchen was, and his understanding of him was even less than that of the ordinary disciples of this sect.

Therefore, all the elders need to do is ask a few questions, and they will expose their secret. At that time, with so many Golden Core cultivators, it will be no problem for them to trap someone in the Enlightenment stage whose true energy is not even sufficient.

“You can totally figure out a way to save them. There are thousands of people in the entire sect waiting for you to save them. Are you just going to give up and run away like this? Besides, you absorbed the power of that dragon’s phantom. You are now a member of the Three Sects of Crouching Dragon. You’re telling me you’re going to run away?” Elder Ren said without hesitation.

“Let me tell you, now that you’ve absorbed the true dragon’s phantom, you’re the leader of the three factions of the Crouching Dragon! As the leader, how can you justify being the first to run away?” Elder Ren continued without pausing.

Chen Zhou was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this opportunity would come with such heavy conditions. Had they not even asked for his consent? Wasn't this a forced condition? However, Chen Zhou didn't say that. He also had plans to save the people of the Hidden Dragon Sect.

"Of course I will save them, but what is this so-called leader all about?" Chen Zhou immediately asked Elder Ren, as he knew nothing about the leader's affairs!

"That's a long story, but all you need to know is that you are now the chosen one of the three factions of Wolong, a born leader! Everything you do now represents the entire three factions of Wolong!" Elder Ren said excitedly, his tone rising slightly as he spoke.

As soon as Ren Lao finished speaking and stopped, memories of the past couldn't help but surface in his mind. There was once a young man who seemed to have been scolded by him in the same way. Then that young man became the leader of the Three Schools of Wolong, leading the Three Schools of Wolong to create one miracle after another and win one battle after another!

Mr. Ren fondly remembers that time, but now that period has become a memory. Seeing the young and innocent Chen Zhou again, it's as if he sees that person's shadow again.

Ren Lao secretly vowed that he would never let the same kind of accident happen again this time. As he thought this, a strange light flashed in Ren Lao's eyes.

"What about others who don't know?" Chen Zhou asked weakly. He was only at the initial stage of enlightenment, yet he had such a big responsibility. How could that be justified?

"Of course others know. They probably already guessed it was you and are now searching for you extensively," Elder Ren replied.

Chen Zhou was completely stunned. So fast? He hadn't made any preparations, and he had already become the chosen one of the three factions of Wolong, and the new generation's leader at that?
