Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"This young lady."

"This is a forbidden area within the sect."

"The Sword Tomb is just ahead."

"The sword intent in the Sword Tomb is extremely fierce. Without the cultivation of the late Golden Core stage, one will be invaded by the sword intent if one enters."

The boy finished speaking...

Wang Yuyan then realized what was happening.

No one can enter without reaching the late stage of the Golden Core realm. In other words, this senior brother in front of me is already at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Since becoming Daoist partners with Su Chen, I have been staying at Luoyun Sect.

But I haven't heard of any of my fellow disciples reaching the late Golden Core stage...

Such a cultivation speed is something we wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"My name is Wang Mang."

"This disciple of our sect has been in seclusion for several years and happens to emerge today."

At that moment, Wang Mang's gaze inadvertently swept over Wang Yuyan.

Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with delicate features and a graceful figure.

She's definitely a beauty in the making!

"Are you also a disciple of my sect, young lady?"

At that moment, the young man smiled and said something.

Wang Yuyan came to her senses.

"I am..."

"The Daoist partner of a true disciple of this sect..."

"I've met Senior Brother Wang."

At that moment, Wang Yuyan replied.

"A true disciple? Could it be Su Chen's Daoist partner?"

Wang Mang raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.

"hehe."

"Following that guy Su Chen, you must have suffered a lot of grievances."

"After all, that guy is just a blockhead; his cultivation level... tsk tsk tsk..."

As soon as those words were spoken...

Wang Yuyan's body trembled slightly at that moment.

This person's cultivation level is so high, yet he still knows Su Chen.

Moreover, he doesn't seem to get along well with Su Chen.

"What are you saying, Senior Brother Wang?"

"Su Chen, he..."

Wang Yuyan didn't finish her sentence.

Then I heard footsteps behind me.

"Yo."

"Isn't this Senior Brother Wang?"

Su Chen walked over at some point.

With his hands behind his back, the deputy director of the academy looked nonchalant.

"When did you leave customs?"

Su Chen walked to Wang Yuyan's side and hugged her tightly.

For some reason, Wang Yuyan felt a sense of peace in her heart at that moment.

"Yu Yan, let me introduce you."

"Senior Brother Wang, once the pride of our sect!"

"If it weren't for Master's favoritism, the position of true successor should rightfully belong to my senior brother."

Su Chen joked with a smile.

"Su Chen".

"You've become quite sensible over the years."

Wang Mang snorted coldly at this moment.

This tone showed that Su Chen was not taken seriously at all.

"It's truly unexpected that you can form your core."

"However, there is still a world of difference between us."

Wang Mang sneered at this moment.

"What Senior Brother Wang said is absolutely right."

"How dare Su Chen be presumptuous in front of Senior Brother Wang?"

Su Chen was still smiling.

This made Wang Mang very uncomfortable.

I feel like my words hit cotton.

"Yu Yan and I still have some things to discuss."

"I won't bother Senior Brother Wang any longer."

Su Chen then pulled Wang Yuyan and turned to leave.

I've only taken two steps.

Su Chen suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Mang with a smile.

"By the way, Senior Brother Wang."

"As a prodigy of our sect, you should know the sect rules."

"According to our sect's rules, even inner disciples must show the respect due to juniors when they meet a true disciple or elder."

"I should address you as a senior."

"However, Senior Brother Wang has been in seclusion for many years and has only just emerged. He must have forgotten the rules."

"We won't pursue this matter this time."

"Just remember that."

The words had barely left his lips...

Wang Mang's face turned green at this moment.

I felt as if a huge rock had been pressing down on my heart.

But Su Chen is right, there is indeed a sect leader within the sect.

At that moment, Wang Mang glared coldly at Su Chen.

...

Back in the house...

I went inside.

Su Chen sat down in the chair, picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Su Chen, what are you thinking?"

"That senior brother named Wang Mang is at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, just one step away from the Nascent Soul stage."

"Why would you want to offend him..."

Wang Yuyan frowned as she looked at Su Chen.

Why are you worrying about this?

"My affairs are none of your business."

Su Chen snorted coldly.

Wang Yuyan was speechless for a moment, and was about to say something more.

"Come with me to the main hall in a bit."

"It's impossible that Wang Mang left the pass today; it couldn't be a coincidence."

"The elders sent someone this morning to tell me to come over."

"He probably has something to say."

Su Chen turned around and went out the door.

Wang Yuyan was stunned for a moment.

He swallowed his words and followed Su Chen.

...

The main hall of Luoyun Sect.

At this moment, all the Nascent Soul elders had arrived.

Even Elder Xiao Han, who never participates in any meetings, has arrived.

A number of inner disciples had gathered inside the hall.

Before Su Chen could even sit down...

Wang Mang walked in.

"Wang Mang pays his respects to the elders!"

At this moment, Wang Mang bowed to the elders.

Su Chen then slowly sat down.

"When Senior Brother Wang Mang emerged from seclusion and met with this true disciple, why didn't he greet him?"

Su Chen slowly took a sip of tea.

The hall was completely silent at this moment.

No one expected Su Chen to be so direct.

Although that's the rule of the sect.

However, the elders present all knew about the affair between Wang Mang and Su Chen back then.

Su Chen's words were somewhat provocative.

However, at this moment, Xiao Han's lips curled up slightly.

The more she looked at Su Chen's cheeky and cheeky manner, the more she felt a strange sense of admiration for him.

After all, I thought Su Chen was a coward when I looked at him before.

Moreover, logically speaking, clan rules cannot be abolished!

"Greetings, senior disciple."

These words were squeezed out from between Wang Mang's teeth.

This guy isn't stupid, of course.

So many elders are watching.

He'll get his revenge eventually, but definitely not now.

"Please sit down."

Su Chen hummed in agreement.

Wang Mang sat down to the side with a dark expression.

...

At this moment, the sect's elder cleared his throat.

"I have summoned you all here today because there is an urgent matter."

"Recently, the Demonic Sect has been frequently appearing in the Spirit Beast Mountain Range north of our sect."

"Kill my sect's spirit beast and take its core."

"If the Spirit Beast Mountain Range is further ravaged by them, not only will the sect's cultivation resources be damaged, but those few guardian spirit beasts will probably also be lost."

"This matter cannot be delayed!"

"The inner disciples of each peak are to depart within ten days to the Spirit Beast Mountain Range in the north, wipe out the Demon Sect disciples, and retrieve the beast cores."

"Wang Mang, the reason I summoned you out of the pass is because I'm worried about your fellow disciples."

"As the pride of our sect, you must never disgrace our sect!"

He had just finished saying that.

"Rest assured, elders."

"In this mission, Wang Mang will certainly not fail our clan's prestige!"

At this moment, Wang Mang quickly clasped his hands in greeting and said something.

"Su Chen, as a true disciple, you will surely fight personally, won't you?"

After Wang Mang finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Chen.

These words put Su Chen in a very difficult position.

As the true disciple, aren't you setting an example?

If you go, you'll be fighting the Demonic Sect, and your chances of survival are slim.

Even with Wang Mang's cultivation level, if he were to take the opportunity to attack Su Chen, Su Chen would likely be unable to defend himself.

If you don't go, then your true teachings will be branded as the work of a scoundrel.

"Wang Mang, are you out of your mind?"

"This mission is for inner disciples."

"I am a true disciple, of the same generation as several elders in the sect."

"You want me to do missions with you juniors?"

Su Chen's lips curled up slightly.

Wang Mang's face turned ashen...
