Chapter 100

"Where is Li Chen?"

At the foot of the main peak of Xuan Yun, the thin figure of Hou Danchen was jumping with rage, shouting fiercely.

The four mountain guards in front of him hung their heads like chicks, trembling all over as Hou Danchen spoke.

Pang Wenshan was extremely anxious. Since the meeting with Li Chen over half a month ago, he had heard nothing from him.

He had asked everyone, but no one had seen him. There were no signs of anyone moving in his residence.

The only explanation was that he had not reappeared after going to the main peak.

With Pang Wenshan's status, he had asked the main peak several times but was always met with cold shoulders. Out of desperation, he could only seek help from the head of the academy, Hou Danchen.

Upon hearing about Li Chen's disappearance, Hou Danchen immediately brought Pang Wenshan to investigate.

Unfortunately, the mountain guards had already been replaced, so how could they know anything?

"Who dares to make a loud noise at the main peak?"

Just as Hou Danchen was jumping with anger, an angry voice came from the winding mountain path above.

"Who can't make a loud noise at the main peak? Damn, when did the people of the main peak start to be unable to tolerate noise? Damn, who taught them these bad habits?"

Three consecutive questions clearly showed that Hou Danchen was in a rage.

"Bold!"

The person seemed stunned, and after a while, a whistling sound came, and a white-gold figure suddenly appeared, which was Song Gongluo.

Behind him, four disciples dressed in the same attire approached with angry faces.

But upon seeing the thin and short Hou Danchen, they all froze and hurriedly bowed: "Disciples pay respects to Uncle!"

"Who just said the old man is bold, huh?"

They had run into a hot gun, and Hou Danchen, clearly in a bad mood, said with a dark face.

"I dare not, I dare not. Uncle, what brings you here? Master and the other uncles are all above. I have a summons to read on the North Peak, so I won't delay Uncle's business!"

Song Gongluo's mouth twitched, and he quickly bowed respectfully.

In the entire Xuan Yun Sect, who didn't know the two old monsters of Nanyun Peak, who were highly skilled but had strange tempers and were notoriously difficult to deal with?

Apart from the few elders, everyone was afraid of them, and even the elders sometimes didn't want to provoke them, let alone a mere summoning disciple like him.

"Hmph, I know you, you're that old bastard's disciple, who lures talents from all the peaks."

Hou Danchen had no intention of letting them off. Holding in his anger was not good for an old man's health.

"Uncle, please give me any orders, and I will do my best to fulfill them!"

Song Gongluo shuddered; even if he had ten lives, he wouldn't dare to provoke this thorny existence.

"Bring the mountain guards from the past month!"

Hou Danchen's mouth twisted, revealing a row of yellow teeth, but a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"Mountain guards!"

Cold sweat broke out on Song Gongluo's forehead.

He was truly scared this time because he remembered something he had forgotten over half a month ago.

He then recalled that the young man had been specifically retained by the difficult-to-deal-with Hou Danchen, and behind him was the equally formidable Zang Xingqian.

"Where is Li Chen?"

Hou Danchen, being old and experienced, immediately sensed something was wrong and grabbed his collar, saying coldly.

"Not in the Siguoyan!"

Song Gongluo almost cried, partly from fear and partly from the smell of Hou Danchen's breath.

Thud!

A dull sound, and Song Gongluo fell to the ground. When he got up, Hou Danchen was already gone.

Despite his disheveled state, Song Gongluo didn't bother to tidy up and ran up the main peak.

Several disciples, sensing the danger, also abandoned their tasks and hurriedly followed.

"Why is the evil aura under the Siguoyan gone?"

On the backside of the main peak of Xuan Yun, at the halfway point, several disciples managing the area pointed and discussed.

"Damn, if it's gone, it's gone. Haven't we suffered enough from the evil aura over the years?"

Zhou Zhanshan glared and said coldly.

"Yes, yes, it just feels a bit strange!"

"Yes, I heard the evil aura under the Siguoyan has been there since the sect was founded!"

"We should report this to the hall master!"

Everyone nodded, knowing that Zhou Zhanshan had a fiery temper and was the most skilled among them, so no one dared to provoke him easily.

"Report what? For such a small matter, you go and disturb the hall master's meditation?"

Zhou Zhanshan waved his hand rudely: "All of you—"

"Damn, where is Li Chen?"

Suddenly, a loud shout came.

"Damn, who is shouting here?"

Zhou Zhanshan was furious. Who dared to be so bold and cause trouble in his territory?

"Brat, dare to be insolent to the old man?"

In a flash, the thin and short Hou Danchen appeared, his old eyes gleaming coldly as he scanned Zhou Zhanshan.

"Hou, Hou, Hou—"

Zhou Zhanshan was so scared that his legs trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"Where is Li Chen?"

Hou Danchen's eyes flashed, and he roughly grabbed Zhou Zhanshan.

"Li Chen? Which Li Chen are you talking about, old man?"

Zhou Zhanshan couldn't speak clearly, let alone remember Li Chen.

"Stop playing dumb with the old man, where is Li Chen?"

Hou Danchen increased his grip, making Zhou Zhanshan's face turn red.

"I, I remember, he's, he's below!"

Zhou Zhanshan couldn't remember, but he had to save his life. Anyone who came here was naturally sent to the lower levels.

"How many levels?"

Hou Danchen dragged Zhou Zhanshan to the Siguoyan and looked down, immediately stunned: "Where is the evil aura under the Siguoyan?"

"Gone, it's been gone since this morning!"

Zhou Zhanshan's face was mournful; he wanted to know too.

"Hmph!"

Hou Danchen casually threw him aside and flew down to the bottom of the cliff.

At the Gu Yuan realm, the true qi in the body was so concentrated that it allowed martial artists to briefly fly, free from the constraints of the earth.

The thousand-foot Siguoyan was difficult to climb from the bottom, but descending from the top was much easier.

"Brother, Li Chen was sent to the third level!"

"What?"

Zhou Zhanshan, upon hearing this, immediately came to his senses, his face turning pale with shock. His eyes darted around, and he ran off: "I'll report this to the hall master!"

The others, seeing this, knew it was bad. Who was Hou Danchen?

A notorious thorn in the side of the Xuan Yun Sect, even the elders were troubled by him. Who dared to provoke him?

Immediately, they scattered like birds and beasts.

At the bottom of the Siguoyan, although it was still dark, the coldness caused by the evil aura and gray mist was gone.

A thin figure, like an eagle, flew down and landed in front of the caves on the upper, middle, and lower levels, calling out for Li Chen.

But he found no trace of Li Chen on the first and second levels. Hou Danchen's old face turned white with anger, and he realized that Li Chen had been sent to the third level.

Without hesitation, he flew down to the third level.

But when he got close and saw the scene on the cliff wall, he was stunned, and then his anger turned to fury.
