Chapter 160 The Rumor Is Wrong

She knew very well that ever since the last thrilling and bizarre incident in the City Lord's Mansion, she couldn't help but feel wary of that place.

Now, there is no one around and she is all alone, so it is better not to easily set foot in that dangerous place.

If you get close by accident and get sucked in by some unknown force, you will be doomed.

Just like this, for the whole night, Chen Wan'er was like a tireless killing machine.

Move freely through the streets and alleys of Luoxia City.

Except for a few evil spirits who had already taken refuge near the City Lord's Mansion, the rest were almost all slaughtered by her alone.

The first ray of sunlight in the morning is about to penetrate the clouds and shine on this gloomy place.

Chen Wan'er felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, as if an invisible cold hand was gripping her heart.

As a monk, his innate keen intuition about danger sounded the alarm bell at this moment.

She didn't have time to think about it, and her figure flashed and rushed towards the city gate like an arrow.

At the moment when the first ray of sunlight gently shone into the city, Chen Wan'er exerted all her strength and rushed out in one step.

At the same time, a deafening roar came from behind her.

Fortunately, daybreak came and she came out.

She couldn't see clearly what was happening behind her, but Chen Wan'er felt it clearly.

If I had taken that step later, I would probably have died by now.

At the same time, in the deep and dark basement of the City Lord's Mansion.

A dark shadow as thick as ink was tumbling violently, like an enraged beast.

There was a deafening roar:

"How dare you! Who are these extremely hateful humans?

How dare you slaughter all the evil spirits that I have worked so hard to create.

Except for a handful that fled in all directions, she single-handedly killed all the Yin spirits in Luoxia City, leaving not a single one behind! "

The Qingyun Sect, which has been closely monitoring the developments in Luoxia City, is now urgently convening an emergency meeting.

In a quiet and peaceful courtyard within the sect, several monks with immortal demeanor gathered together.

They were surrounded by spiritual energy and their cultivation seemed unfathomable.

However, at this moment, everyone's face was filled with confusion and solemnity.

"Master, the sect's magic weapons indicate that the number of Yin spirits in Luoxia City seems to have decreased by half overnight, as if swept away by a mysterious force."

An elder stood up hurriedly and reported the latest situation to the sect leader.

The leader of Qingyun Sect frowned slightly, and after a moment's silence, he said:

"In that case, I will go there myself tonight to find out.

The situation in Luoxia City is treacherous and volatile. I must go there in person to find out the truth."

When the elder who reported this heard this, he was immediately shocked and hurried forward to dissuade him:

"Master, you absolutely cannot do that!

With your current noble status and profound cultivation, if you rashly go there, you will definitely be noticed by the demons, and the chain reaction that will be triggered will be unimaginable.

In my opinion, I should do the job for you. I will do my best to live up to the trust placed in me by the Sect Master."

Just when everyone was arguing with each other.

Dongfang Han, a monk sitting in the corner of the courtyard, spoke slowly:

"Everyone, please stop arguing. I'm going to find Han Shang and borrow the Holy Light Robe.

With such a divine weapon protecting the body, it can not only conceal the aura but also resist evil spirits, and will surely keep you safe."

When everyone heard the words "Holy Light Robe", a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes.

For a moment, everything became quiet.

Only the Sect Master remained silent for a long time. Suddenly he raised his eyes, looked at Dongfang Han, and asked softly:

"Dongfang Han, there have been rumors circulating lately that there seems to be some romance between the Saintess of the Liuli Sect and your disciple, Han Shang. Is this true?"

Dongfang Han's expression froze, and he responded seriously:

"Master, this is absolutely not the case!

Han Shang was raised by me since he was young. He is obsessed with pursuing the great way and has no distractions. How could he be delayed by these romantic matters?

If the Sect Master doesn't believe me, I will summon him and ask him about it in front of everyone."

After saying that, Dongfang Han immediately used the art of voice transmission to call Zhong Hanshang.

When Zhong Hanshang received the message, he was in his retreat room, concentrating on cultivation. He couldn't help but wonder:

What happened today?

The elders and the sect leader, who are rarely seen on ordinary days, actually gathered together and hurriedly called me here. What was going on?

Although he was full of doubts, he quickly straightened his clothes and flashed into the yard.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Sect Master and all the elders."

"Han Shang, I heard that you went out for training a while ago. I guess you went through a lot of hardships. Did you gain anything special?"

The sect leader looked at Zhong Hanshang gently and asked first.

Zhong Hanshang thought for a moment and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:

“There are always people who are better than you.”

"oh?"

The clan leader raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

"From what you said, could it be that you met a cultivator who was even more powerful than you along the way?"

Zhong Hanshang nodded slightly, and Gao Huohuo and Su Ruoyun appeared in his mind.

“Well, I did meet two female cultivators.

Although they had only reached the Golden Core stage at that time, their talents and potential were extraordinary, earning the disciples' deep admiration."

When the people of Qingyun Sect heard him mention female cultivators and thought of the rumors from the outside world, they naturally thought that he was talking about the Holy Maiden of Liuli Sect.

An elder shook his head slightly and said softly:

“I’ve also seen the Saintess of the Liuli Sect before. Her talent is decent.

But compared to you, Han Shang, I am still a long way behind."

Zhong Hanshang was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized that everyone might have misunderstood.

He quickly clarified, "Master, fellow elders, the female cultivator I was talking about is not the Holy Maiden of the Liuli Sect, but someone else."

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, wondering in their hearts: Isn't she the Holy Maiden of Liuli Sect?

Which sect is this female cultivator from that could receive such high praise from Han Shang?

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhong Hanshang continued to explain:

"By the way, Sect Master, the recent rumors from the outside world are completely groundless.

I had only exchanged a few words with the Saintess of Liuli Sect, but who knew how the story became so widely spread, as if it were true.

In fact, I don’t know her at all, let alone any romantic relationship between us.”

After hearing Zhong Hanshang's proactive explanation, everyone felt a little relieved.

It seems that the rumors from outside are indeed false.

"Han Shang, please be at ease.

Since you have nothing to do with the Saintess of Liuli Sect, I have made up my mind about this matter.

I will find an appropriate time later to explain the situation to the Liuli Sect's leader and clear your name."

The leader of Qingyun Sect looked kind and spoke in a firm tone.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand gently, signaling Zhong Hanshang to leave first.

Zhong Hanshang bowed respectfully, turned around and walked away steadily.

When his figure completely disappeared from everyone's sight, the sect leader's expression instantly became solemn.

He slowly glanced at the elders present before speaking again, breaking the silence in the room:

“Now, the Luoxia City incident is becoming increasingly confusing, with the sudden and unexplained decrease in the number of Yin spirits.

There is another matter that we must consider with extreme caution.

The mystery of Han Shang's life experience, should we tell him the truth now?

I hope you will speak freely and work together to come up with an appropriate solution."
