Chapter 553

Seven days later!

Canglan Sect.

The sect-protecting formation was completely manifested, and the formation light shield shrouded the entire sect.

Approaching the boundary of the formation, Lin Chen operated the Canglan Art in his body and directly shuttled through the formation light shield, entering the sect territory.

There are only two ways to enter the sect-protecting formation: one is to operate the Canglan Art, and the formation will automatically judge that it is a disciple of the Canglan Sect and let them pass; the other is to hold a passage token.

However, although Lin Chen entered the formation smoothly, he stopped quickly because he felt the approach of an aura.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Yulin looked at Lin Chen in front of him, his brows furrowed. Xiantian Fourth Realm... this kind of strength is not an unknown person in the sect; it is the batch of strongest deacons second only to these elders, and there are even many who are senior brothers of the same batch as them.

But he had never seen the person in front of him.

"Elder Zhao, it is I, the disciple."

Lin Chen spoke and slowly restored his appearance. Since he had already arrived in the sect, there was no need to cover it up anymore.

"Lin Chen!"

Seeing Lin Chen's true appearance, Zhao Yulin was stunned, his pupils shrank, and there was disbelief, obviously because of Lin Chen's realm.

"You have already stepped into the Xiantian Fourth Realm."

"Yes, considered the peak of the Xiantian Fourth Realm."

Zhao Yulin:...

After being silent for a full two breaths, Zhao Yulin spoke: "Come with me to the Great Hall."

Two figures, one in front and one behind, turned into rainbow light and headed straight for the Canglan Great Hall.

"Sect Master, Lin Chen is back!"

Once entering the Great Hall, Zhao Yulin spoke directly. At this moment, in the Great Hall, besides the Canglan Sect Master Ji Cangtian, there were two other elders.

In an instant, the gazes of the three fell on Lin Chen who followed closely and walked into the Great Hall.

The more they looked, the brighter the eyes of the three became.

"Good boy, actually at the Xiantian Fourth Realm!"

Zhou Zhifeng couldn't help but step forward and slap Lin Chen on the body, but after this slap went down, he felt something was wrong. From Lin Chen's shoulder, there was actually a force of counter-shock. Although weak, it indeed made him feel it.

One must know that he is a Xiantian Fifth Realm powerhouse. Even if Lin Chen is at the peak of the Xiantian Fourth Realm, even if he didn't use his full strength, he shouldn't have felt the force of counter-shock.

This was not Lin Chen actively resisting, but the instinctive reaction of his physical body.

"You boy... how exactly do you cultivate?"

Zhou Zhifeng asked, and Zhao Yulin on the side laughed: "It seems Lin Lin Shixiong Zhou is also shocked by Lin Chen's cultivation speed."

"Not just the cultivation speed." Zhou Zhifeng shook his head: "Lin Chen, let me ask you a truth, to what extent is your current strength?"

Zhao Yulin on the side, including Ji Cangtian and Elder Chou, were all a bit curious why Zhou Zhifeng would ask this way. Lin Chen is at the Xiantian Fourth Realm, so his strength is naturally at the Xiantian Fourth Realm.

"The disciple should be able to fight a Xiantian Fifth Realm." Lin Chen rubbed his nose and answered truthfully.

"Fight a Xiantian Fifth Realm?"

In the Great Hall, there was a silence for a breath.

Elder Chou said in a deep voice: "Lin Chen, are you sure?"

"On the way back, the disciple once fought with a Xiantian Fifth Realm martial artist of the Eight Desolations Domain. Elder Qu said the opponent was Elder Xi Zeliang of the Eight Desolations Sect."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Ji Cangtian and the others looked at each other. They naturally knew about this Xi Zeliang; he was an Elder of the Eight Desolations Sect who had been promoted ten years ago.

"So you were targeted by that Xi Zeliang, and in the end, it was Lin Lin Shidi Qu who took action to save you?"

Elder Chou gave a guess. Lin Chen returned from the outer domain, was encountered by Xi Zeliang of the Eight Desolations Sect, fought with that Xi Zeliang, and finally delayed until Lin Lin Shidi Qu arrived.

"Elder Qu did arrive, but it was not Elder Qu who saved me. Before Elder Qu arrived, the disciple luckily killed Xi Zeliang."

With Lin Chen's "luckily," the entire Great Hall was even more silent than before.

On the high platform, Ji Cangtian's old eyes widened: "Lin Chen, is what you said true?"

"When Elder Qu arrived later, he confirmed the identity of that person. Elder Qu also knows about this matter."

Hearing Lin Chen's confirmed answer, the eyes of Elder Chou and the other two in the Great Hall looking at Lin Chen were like looking at a rare treasure, as if they wanted to see through Lin Chen inside and out.

At the same time, footsteps came from outside the Great Hall.
