Chapter 474 A discussion
"Zhan Chen, where have you been during the war?", a Xuantian sect elder asked Zhan Chen. Many elders looked towards Zhan Chen with a questioning expression. The battle was such an important moment for the sect yet Zhan Chen was absent in such a time. It naturally drew the ire of few elders present.
"He has been with me. If you have any question, you may ask", before Zhan Chen could say something, the majestic voice of Shui Liying was heard.
"Senior, I am just being curious. If he has been with you, it is only natural that he missed tonight's battle", the elder hurriedly clarified his stance. He had no reason to interrogate Zhan Chen anymore after hearing Shui Liying's words.
Zhan Chen felt warmth surging in his heart after seeing Shui Liying covering for him. She generally did her best to keep their relationship private but seeing him in a dilemma, she volunteered to cover for him. He could feel that she no longer had any qualm about revealing their relationship to the outside world. 'But I will not let her expose our relationship. What kind of man am I if I can't maintain the prestige of my wife', Zhan Chen thought to himself.
"Everyone, no need to bother Zhan Chen anymore. There are mountains of things to handle after the battle", another voice came. This time it was Yang Yukong, the peak master of Sword peak who had spoke.
"Zhan Chen, don't mind the elders. It is only natural that they will be grumpy after not seeing you in such an important battle", Ying Chao sent a voice transmission.
"Senior, I understand. I will not hold it against the elders", Zhan Chen replied. The elders left one by one after hearing Yang Yukong's words.
Zhan Chen felt quite a few eyes looking towards him when he was talking with the elders. He turned to look towards them after the elders had left.
"Senior brother Chen", Hui Ling, Yin Ran and Xue Yi walked over to his side. There were few more as Sima Chunhua and an icy beauty walked towards him.
Zhan Chen immediately identified the icy beauty as Jia Lingyi whom he had met during the Grand sect competition. He had very few conversation with him but her battle techniques had left quite an impression in his memory.
He hurriedly greeted the beauty after seeing her walking towards him with Sima Chunhua. "Senior sister Lingyi", Zhan Chen greeted the icy beauty.
"Zhan Chen, I have few things to discuss with you. Let's go to a secluded place", Jia Lingyi spoke. Their group was about to leave when another group of disciples blocked their path.
"You are the new core disciple?", an eagle eyes tall man looked towards Zhan Chen. His voice was like a superior talking to his junior.
"You are?", Zhan Chen looked towards the eagle eyes man with a frown. He didn't like the superior attitude of the eagle eyed man infront of him.
"Brat, how dare you talk back to senior brother Haoran? Obediently reply whatever senior brother Haoran is asking", a burly man beside the eagle eyed man stared towards Zhan Chen.
"Chu Haoran, are you planning to bully junior brother Chen?", suddenly a pleasant voice interrupted the conversation between Zhan Chen's group and the eagle eyes man's group. Zhan Chen turned his head and found a group of disciples walking towards him. A woman in green robe was the leader of their group.
"Hua Xixi", a frown appeared on Chu Haoran's indifferent face.
"Brat, don't think you can pull out anything extraordinary just because few emperors look favourably upon you. Moreover, don't think anything funny about Lingyi. She is mine. If you dare show up too much, I will put you in your place", Zhan Chen received a voice transmission in his head. It was Chu Haoran who sent him a voice transmission stealthily after noticing the new group of disciples.
"Hua Xixi, are you planning to pull this brat to your side?", Chu Haoran asked the green robed woman.
"Yes, I want to but the decision is his own. Junior brother Chen is an extraordinary person himself. So, I will not find it strange if he rejects my offer", Hua Xixi spoke.
"Don't put a brat on a pedestal. He is yet to know what true strength actually means. If he joins your faction, I will not find trouble with me. But if he rejects your offer, I am free to do whatever I want", Chu Haoran spoke.His gaze was dismissive and cold when he looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Ha ha", Zhan Chen suddenly laughed. He didn't know how many days it had been since someone could provoke him like this.
"Junior brother Chen", Sima Chunhua felt worried. Other girls by Zhan Chen's side felt worried as well because they knew what Chu Haoran and Hua Xixi represented. They were among the strongest cote disciples of the Xuantian sect. Sometime even emperors would be helpless infront of them because they were backed by the ancestoral peak of the Xuantian sect. Even the generally calm and cold Jia Lingyi had a worried expression on her face. She couldn't understand, why the two strongest factions of the Xuantian sect were eyeing Zhan Chen.
"Brat, what are you laughing for?", the burly eyed man by the side of Chu Haoran looked towards Zhan Chen. Even Hua Xixi looked towards Zhan Chen with a slight confusion on her face.
"You said why am I laughing? Because it is hilarious. Some brainless idiots are barking infront of me. So, whatelse can I do other than laughing at them", Zhan Chen replied.
"Courting death", the burly man beside Chu Haoran shouted out. He kicked the ground with his foot and shoot straight towards Zhan Chen. They were standing closer to Zhan Chen's group to begin with. So, it was easy for him to launch an attack from such a close distance.
The burly man swung his first towards Zhan Chen's face after closing the distance between them. His speed was so fast that none in Zhan Chen's group could react to his attack.
It was not like Jia Lingyi and Sima Chunhua's battle instinct was slow rather they were caught off-guard by the sudden attack of the burly man by Chu Haoran's side. None of them had ever imagined that a disciple would dare to attack Zhan Chen like this.
When all the spectating disciples thought, Zhan Chen would sent flying, a loud noise was heard.
"Crack", the noise was of bone breaking came. Xuantian sect disciples saw an unbelievable scene. The indomitable fists of the burly man was being held by Zhan Chen's hand.
He twisted the fists of the burly man and a guttural howl was heard in the surrounding.
"Aaahhh, my hands!", the burly looking man howled loudly.
