Chapter 795: Obedient Disciple Enters the Embrace 29

But even as they fought, if someone eyed the dragon scale armor and tried to seize it, the two would tacitly first drive that person away.

Those disciples ended up both angry and afraid.

What do these two think this place is, a training ground?!

But the longer they fought, the more Xie Xi struggled.

He simply couldn't keep up physically; he had originally wanted to rely on his mystic arts to brute-force it, but found even his mystic arts were inferior.

His shock grew, even doubting whether his perception was wrong.

Is Fei Mian really just at Foundation Establishment?!

Noticing Xie Xi's increasing strain, Fei Mian again enveloped him in a mist of dark spiritual power and struck with his palm.

Xie Xi startled, hastily retreating to dodge the dark spirit attack; that dodge bought a few seconds, Fei Mian flashed away and lunged straight for the dragon scale armor on the mountaintop.

The artifact spirit, happily watching the show:!!

It struggled desperately, but Fei Mian had already learned from Master how to tame artifact spirits; his mystic power struck the crucial spot, and his body still bore the divine beast aura left by 0731 just earlier.

Weighing the two sides, the artifact spirit truly dared not struggle any further for no reason.

The taming process was even shorter than Luo Yi Ping's.

Xie Xi's chest heaved with anger, but a loss is a loss; five years ago he might have blamed it on a cat's laziness, but this match was genuine, making him realize his ability… truly inferior to Fei Mian's.

Although he was unwilling to admit this fact.

Thus, both divine artifacts were secured in his bag.

They are actually all from Xuanzong Sect!

Fei Mian even tamed a divine beast!

Other sects immediately became unbalanced.

They even began to suspect whether a senior of the Spirit Order was secretly assisting.

The voices of doubt grew louder; even the several sect elders who had landed could not pretend not to hear.

Moreover, disciples demanded they give an explanation.

Several leading elders thought to themselves: We actually also want an explanation—do you think I look like I dare?

Fei Mian and Luo Yi Ping had already sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to form a contract with the artifact spirit.

"Spirit Order Senior! Do you dare guarantee that you really aren't favoring your disciple? Why is it that only he alone simultaneously obtained the divine artifact and divine beast? This is simply too unfair!"

A disciple of the Biyun Sect shouted out.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves; immediately someone echoed.

"Exactly!"

"Even the Illusion Cauldron has been taken by the Xuanzong Sect people—what kind of thing is this, letting you take all the benefits!"

Xuanzong Sect disciples couldn't tolerate such talk; they immediately started arguing with the other sects, and chaotic noise filled the formation.

Jin Chen glanced at the Biyun Sect disciple who had initially shouted loudly.

"Each according to ability—what's wrong with that?"

That sentence, infused with inner power, sent out a vibration.

That disciple, feeling fearful, hastily retreated behind the elder, not daring to speak.

Just then, a figure suddenly burst from the crowd of disciples and rushed straight for the two divine artifacts.

The aura emanating from his whole body was all too familiar to everyone present.

It was the demon race!

Jin Chen reacted swiftly, striking with a palm.

The demon seemed not intent on surviving; he took a hit to his back, flew up suspended, and fell beside Luo Yi Ping.

"Senior Brother!!

Xie Xi shouted nervously.

The demon used his last strength, gathering all his demonic power into the Illusion Cauldron.

Then Jin Chen struck him once, reducing him to ashes.

In an instant, everyone's movements froze, as if their acupoints had been sealed.

Jin Chen immediately protected Fei Mian, blocking the illusionary spell unleashed when the Illusion Cauldron opened.

Coincidentally, at that moment the dragon scale armor was fully tamed, transforming into a gauze robe draped over Fei Mian.

He opened his eyes at the right moment and saw that everyone present was immobilized, except him and his Master.

Fei Mian was startled by the scene before him and instinctively grabbed Jin Chen's arm.

"Master… what's going on?"

"Demons intruded, and the Illusion Cauldron was accidentally opened."

Jin Chen gave a brief explanation, glancing at Luo Yi Ping, whose consciousness had likewise been drawn into the illusion while in meditation, which seemed strange.

The Illusion Cauldron had already recognized him as its master; even without a full contract, it should not harm its master.

No time to think further, Jin Chen thrust his hands upward, flying above the formation, intending to forcibly awaken everyone's consciousness.

They had just passed the first level's maze; if they were confused again, this bunch would either die or become idiots.

To forcibly awaken, Jin Chen must let his mystic power permeate each person's body.

Suddenly he opened his eyes, looking with interest at the two protagonists.

【What's wrong, Host?】

【Luo Yi Ping has demonic qi inside him.】

Jin Chen stared at Xie Xi for a few glances, the corner of his mouth curling with an amused smile.

【Xie Xi, is a furnace cauldron constitution.】

【Ha!!】

0731 Suddenly realized, 【No wonder since Xie Xi was little, Luo Yi Ping has cared about him this much!】

I really thought it was a tacit understanding and mutual attraction between the two protagonists.

The Demon Clan's influence has actually spread into the Xuanzong Sect; it seems that in the original plot, the fate of the original body and this protagonist attacker are inseparable.

Jin Chen pondered for a few seconds; with a wave of his hand, the Illusion Cauldron was already suppressed, and everyone woke up from extreme pain, some even beginning to lose consciousness, rolling and struggling on the ground.

He slowly landed, looking at Fei Mian who was studying the Dragon Scale Armor, and beckoned to the youth.

"Master."

Fei Mian obediently walked over, still not used to this layer of gauze clothing.

Luo Yi Ping finally came to, instinctively caught Xie Xi who was about to fall to the ground, glanced at Jin Chen, seeing no major reaction, then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Elder."

He bowed to Jin Chen, "This time the divine artifacts have all come into our sect's hands; may we depart back to the sect?"

This time, the Xuanzong Sect disciples all gained abundant harvests; they also knew they were unlikely to obtain divine artifacts, so they focused more on obtaining opportunities and miraculous pills.

"You go back first; This Venerable will take Fei Mian to Lingnan to eliminate the demonic menace."

Hearing this, Luo Yi Ping's eyes rolled, then he raised his head and said, "Elder, may I bring the disciples along?"

"To eradicate the demons, the disciples also wish to lend the Elder a hand."

Seeing this, Xie Xi quickly responded, "Then I'll go too!"

"... Alright."

Jin Chen did not refuse.

He actually wanted to see what medicine the protagonist attacker was selling from his gourd.

He also wanted to confirm whether the true cause of Fei Mian's demonic fall in the original plot was related to Luo Yi Ping.

If so……

A killing intent flashed in the depths of his peach-blossom eyes, yet his expression remained unchanged.

Beside them, Qiu Shi, who had overheard their conversation, pulled Su Qi and said, "Elder! Can you take us too?"

Su Qi and Xu Lan: "……"

The two waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no! We don't want to go!"

They could tell what Qiu Shi was up to, but after all they weren't from the same department; this Elder of the Lingxu Order would surely not allow Fei Mian to seek a Dao partner right now.

Who would want to provoke the Elder of the Lingxu Order over this matter? That would be disastrous.
