Eternal Life from Taking Care of Master's Wife-Chapter 123 - 21: Astonishing Talent, Sect Leader’s Approval

Chapter 123: Chapter 21: Astonishing Talent, Sect Leader’s Approval

"Very~smooth!"

The Cyan Cloud Hall erupted in astonishment, with bizarre expressions on their faces.

Mu Ling’Er’s eyes widened, her mouth agape, her mind blank and lost, filled with both embarrassment and anger.

"Scoundrel!"

Cheng Susu’s face turned livid, and she slammed the table.

Bang!

At this moment, Zhou Chen suddenly swung his hand back, striking Wei Monarch heavily, knocking him to the ground, leaving half of his face swollen like a pig’s head.

"Outrageous!"

Li Shentong was furious; he didn’t expect Zhou Chen would dare to hit his disciple right in front of him. How arrogant!

Is there no law left?

He was about to act but was blocked by Li Changfeng.

Cheng Susu, initially furious, paused in surprise at the situation.

Zhou Chen looked at the enraged Li Shentong, standing righteous:

"Wei Monarch acted below his rank in the hall, openly slandering the pure and innocent Senior Sister Mu with false claims. Shouldn’t he be punished?"

"Scoundrel, you’re twisting the truth; Wei Monarch’s words were indeed spoken by you!"

Li Shentong shouted angrily.

"Nonsense, do you have any evidence?"

Zhou Chen challenged.

He had whispered those words with such a low voice at the time that, given his cultivation level, he could be sure nobody around heard him.

"You..."

Li Shentong realized that Zhou Chen was daring to speak this way, likely because no evidence could be found.

"It is now clear, it’s Li Feihong who blocked the way first, then attacked me; I had no choice but to retaliate in self-defense. Li Feihong’s injury was self-inflicted, and his attempt to kill me must be severely punished to uphold justice!"

Zhou Chen turned to Qing Yuyao, bowing deeply and saying aloud:

"I request Sect Leader to clearly adjudicate and uphold justice for this disciple!"

Qing Yuyao felt speechless in her heart, confident that Wei Monarch was not lying; Zhou Chen must have spoken about Mu Ling’Er in a suggestive way.

Truly shameless!

However, this matter likely had no witnesses, couldn’t be verified and didn’t need thorough investigation as it wouldn’t be good for Mu Ling’Er.

"Enough, the truth of this matter is difficult to ascertain, don’t bring it up again, but Li Feihong first blocked the way, then attacked, getting injured by Zhou Chen as he’s to blame!"

Qing Yuyao surveyed the scene, making the final decision:

"Regardless of the reason, acting among the Cyan Cloud Sect without permission is a grave crime, revoking Li Feihong’s True Disciple status, and face the wall for three months in the Cold Ice Cave after recovering!"

"Yes!"

Li Shentong was discontent in his heart but could do nothing, as the fact that Li Feihong struck first was enough.

Nevertheless, Zhou Chen despite being possibly a spy, had rapidly increased power, clearly having a significant secret, and even if he couldn’t obtain it, exposing Zhou Chen seemed worthwhile.

Let Zhou Chen become a target; perhaps the moment he steps out, he’d be robbed and assassinated. Only then could Li Shentong’s anger be somewhat eased! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Sect Leader, Zhou Chen joined the sect for merely a year, yet he managed to severely injure Li Feihong with one move, clearly deeply hidden and certainly a spy!"

Li Shentong spoke with cupped hands.

With these words, curious eyes turned toward Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen entered the sect at Body Refining Seventh Layer, but within a year, he’d defeated Li Feihong, who was at the Fifth Body Refining Transformation, a frightening improvement.

What secret does Zhou Chen hold?

People’s eyes flickered; though they wouldn’t openly act against Zhou Chen, privately they could don masks, rob Zhou Chen, kill and annihilate his corpse, who would know?

This was also why Zhou Chen only portrayed himself as a prodigy, rather than a supernatural genius.

A prodigy was enough for him to gain the necessary identity, status, and resources, while supernatural genius gains were limited, but the dangers were exponentially higher.

Feeling the fervent gazes of the crowd, Zhou Chen sentenced Li Shentong to death in his heart, boldly stating:

"Is it wrong for me to improve quickly in my training?"

"Which rule in Cyan Cloud Sect states that disciples must reveal all their cultivation?"

"Calling me a spy, I say you’re a spy!"

Zhou Chen glared at Li Shentong; since the mask was off, there was no need to show him courtesy.

He abruptly drew his sword and slashed.

Boom!

The sharp blade light broke free like a dragon, advancing straight toward Li Shentong.

"Insolent!"

Li Shentong raised his hand to extinguish the blade light, ready to slap Zhou Chen to death.

"Do you think I’m not here, Li Changfeng?"

Li Changfeng blocked Li Shentong, having long disliked this old fellow and ready to deal with him.

"Heaven-Sundering Sword!"

Li Shentong and Li Changfeng faced off, but Sect Leader Qing Yuyao, Celestial Blade Peak Master Song Hao, and others stared at Zhou Chen in shock.

Zhou Chen’s slash with that sword was the secret Heaven-Sundering Sword Technique from Cyan Cloud Peak, requiring immense mastery of the technique.

Boom!

Zhou Chen used his sword as a saber and slashed again.

"Celestial Saber Technique!"

This strike was again aimed at Li Shentong, diverting his focus; when Li Shentong tried to act, he was blocked by Li Changfeng.

Zhou Chen’s footwork shifted, leaving a phantom in place.

"Electric Light Divine Step!"

Zhou Chen kept moving, each move differing from the last.

"Overlord Fist!"

"Emperor Yu’s Axe!"

"Divine Wind Leg!"

"One Yang Finger!"

"One-Finger Zen!"

Zhou Chen unleashed eight martial arts techniques in succession, all being techniques’ ultimate moves, requiring profound cultivation depth.

Simultaneously, his Body Refining Eighth Transformation aura surged, overshadowing most True Disciples present!

He gazed at the fuming Li Shentong: "Peak Master Li, are the martial arts I know from a spy sect?"

Li Shentong fell silent; Zhou Chen’s techniques were all from the Cyan Cloud Sect, even including several secret arts.

Li Changfeng was surprised and delighted, not anticipating that Zhou Chen, silently, mastered so many techniques; yet troubles would likely follow.

Surely, someone would take an interest in Zhou Chen.

It’s unthinkable they’d believe Zhou Chen inherently gifted enough to master so many arts in a year.

They would likely suspect Zhou Chen had a special treasure.
