"I will be back soon", Zhan Chen spoke to Lu Mingxi before moving away from the hill top. He flew towards a distant hill where his soul slave had located Shi Xuejing.

"Second elder, what do you think? Will the Heavenly sword sect attack once again?", Shi Xuejing asked an old man by her side.

"Probably yes but we should not involve ourselves with this any longer", the old man replied to Shi Xuejing.

"Second elder, please let me go. It will be best if I will talk to Zhan Chen directly", Shi Xuejing spoke.

"No, that would be too risky. You have already taken a huge risk yesterday. We can't play with fire anymore.

If by chance, the Heavenly sword sect got wind of it, our clan will be doomed", the old man spoke to her in a hushed voice.

"And what if no one catch the wind of it?", a voice interrupted them abruptly after the old man finished his words. Both Shi Xuejing and the old man beside her felt surprised and turned their heads. A dashing young man had appeared out of nowhere and looking at them with a calm look on his face.

"Zhan Chen!", the elder sputtered out with a shocked look on his face.

Shi Xuejing opened her mouth slightly and brought her hand infront of her mouth to express the surprise she was feeling at this moment.

"Hello missy, thank you for your reminder yesterday", Zhan Chen flashed a smile towards her. Then, he focused his eyes on the old man who was looking at him with deep shock in his eyes.

"Zhan Chen, how did you manage to find us?", the old man asked with a vigilant look on his face.

"How I managed to find you is not important. What is important is your relationship with Heavenly sword sect. Are they responsible for the yesterday 's attempt on Li Yan's life?", Zhan Chen looked towards the old man beside Shi Xuejing.

The old man stuttered for a moment as he couldn't give an immediate reply. A frown appeared on Zhan Chen's face after he saw the reaction of both the old man and Shi Xuejing. "Well, there is no need to hear it from you. I can check the answer myself", Zhan Chen spoke.

A glint appeared in his eyes and a blank look appeared on the face of the old man beside Shi Xuejing. Shi Xuejing didn't understand what was happening as she looked at the strange behaviour of Zhan Chen and the second elder of her clan.

Zhan Chen smiled towards her before leaving the place. The second elder of Shi Xuejing's clan stood blankly at his place even after the departure of Zhan Chen.

"Second elder, are you okay?", Shi Xuejing asked with a concerned look on her face.

"What a monster! What is with his soul consciousness?", the elder muttered to himself as he looked towards the direction of Zhan Chen.

"Second elder, what happened? Has Zhan Chen done something to you?", Shi Xuejing asked.

"Nothing. He needed an explanation and I gave him that", the old man replied. He somehow managed to fool Shi Xuejing but the shock in his eyes didn't fade even after the departure of Zhan Chen.

"Elder, what should we do now?", Shi Xuejing asked.

"Nothing, we only have to watch his performance in the grand sect competition", the elder replied.

--------------------

'Heavenly sword sect, Qiu Haitang, third elder of the Heavenly sword sect and finally Lu Wentian! He has yet to take any action but looks like this fiancee of his, the daughter of of the Heavenly sword sect's sect master is taking action on his behalf.

She is already warned about my origin. Yet, she is still trying exact her revenge on behalf of Lu Wentian. This time, she is targeting my women instead of targeting me.

I can only wonder what a vengeful woman she must be. This kind of enemy should not live for long. I have to take care of her whenever there is a chance', Zhan Chen thought to himself.

"Can I borrow your sword?", Zhan Chen asked Lu Mingxi after returning to her side. Lu clan cultivators looked at Zhan Chen with disbelief in their faces. They couldn't beleive how casual Zhan Chen was becoming with their most exceptional Tribulation realm expert!

Their shock increased two fold when they saw Lu Mingxi handing over her sword without asking a single question to Zhan Chen. "Beauty, wait for me. I will definitely win with your sword in my hand", Zhan Chen spoke cheekily near the ears of Lu Mingxi and left the hill. Kai Min followed after him as they went down towards the competetion ground.

"He is such a sweet talker. But I have yet to see his battle skills", Lu Mingxi thought to himself as she focused her gaze on the five stone platforms.

Zhan Chen and Kai Min entered with a new batch of cultivators and chose the middle of the stone platform. A smile appeared on his face when he saw some cultivators following him to the middle platform.

"They most be here for Kai Min. I most receive them well and send a good message to their elders who are doing the bidding of the Heavenly sword sect", he thought to himself.

Unknown to him, there were many eyes focused on him at this moment. The experts of the Central land wanted to see what the scion of Zhan clan was capable of.

Before it, every power had only heard the rumor of his extraordinary capabillities but the first round of the grand sect competition was a chance for everyone to witness it themselves. Every expert wanted to see what the Zhan clan descendant was capable of. Whether he was worthy of their attention or not.

Like many experts, the Spirit palace experts were also keeping an eye on Zhan Chen. The emperor of the Spirit palace and the eldest of Chi sisters, both were keeping an eye on Zhan Chen's action on the middle rock platform.

The beating sound of three spirit drums reverberated in the air and battle started immediately. Zhan Chen stood calmly on his place as he witnessed Kai Min 's battle with another opponent.

"Die", a tall cultivation saw Zhan Chen absentminded and swung his sword towards him. Zhan Chen easily parried his attack with his sword and send him flying with a single kick.

He had no intention to kill young competetors who were participating to show their skills. So, he continued to send them flying without cutting them with his sword.

While he was fighting his own battle, he purposefully made some distance from Kai Min. As expected, he noticed some suspected movement around her.

"I only have to catch single one and I can find all of you", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

His figure blurred as he appeared infront of a suspect. Before the cultivator could do anything, he saw a sword coming towards him.

Next what happened was only a blur for him as his consciousness faded. When he opened his eyes once again, he found himself lying on the rock platform with a wound on his chest.

Zhan Chen was nowhere to be seen as he was moving towards the corner of the rock platform at this moment. A crook nosed cultivator was fighting there with an axe in his hand.

He quickly gave up on his opponent when he saw Zhan Chen coming towards him. Then he tried to slip into the crowd while keeping an eye on Zhan Chen.

A strange smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after seeing the cultivator escaping. He used the Cloud chasing steps and appeared infront of the cultivator.

He stretched his hand and grabbed the cultivator by his neck. The cultivator wanted to attack but surprisingly, he couldn't move his body when Zhan Chen looked at his eyes.

"You are sent here to kill my woman, am I right?", he looked at the cultivator. The cultivator wanted to deny but fear appeared in his heart when he saw the look on Zhan Chen's face.

He nodded his head and his body swung downward. The surface of the rock platform was extremely hard and the cultivator three up blood when his body collided on the ground.

Zhan Chen didn't let him go even after swinging his body once. He lifted up his body once again and swung his body downward.

The faces of the cultivator who were keeping an eye on Zhan Chen changed when they saw the attacks of Zhan Chen. "Devil!", they could only mutter to themselves as they saw the brutal attacks of Zhan Chen.
