Chapter 2408
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment before he reacted, “Master, are you saying that the sect leader will allow us to attack the South Mist Immortal Sect?”
“Of course he will. After all, killing that old geezer Nan Lan Jing will bring great benefits to the South Mist Immortal Sect!” Old Ghost said with a smile.
“Alright, no wonder master was so overbearing the moment you arrived. So you’ve already made arrangements.” Xiao Chen didn’t say anything else.
He couldn’t interfere in a battle between big shots like this!
“So, why don’t you go back first? There will be a huge battle in the South Mist Immortal Sect and I might not be able to take care of you then.” Old Ghost said.
“Can I go and watch a battle of this level? It might be good for me.” Xiao Chen was eager to watch a battle between Immortal Emperors.
“What the hell are you standing around for? With your weak cultivation base, the shockwaves from our fight can kill you countless times over.
You should just go back and cultivate! “Old Ghost’s words were very impolite, not leaving any face for Xiao Chen.
“… Can’t I watch from afar?
At the very most, Elder Lin, you can just create a defensive barrier for me to protect me. “Xiao Chen still wanted to persist.
After all, with his current status and strength, he couldn’t see a battle of this level often.
“No, there’s no room for discussion. Nan Lan Jing, that old bastard, if he knows that he’s going to die, he’ll definitely kill you at all costs. After all, I’m the one who started this. If you go and watch the battle, he’ll definitely kill you to vent his anger.” Ghost Geezer’s attitude was firm.
“Alright … Then I’ll leave Miss Bai and her brother to master.” Xiao Chen heard this and didn’t insist.
“Don’t worry. Once we kill Nan Lan Jing, the entire South Mist Immortal Sect will be in a state of disunity. Naturally, no one will dare to cause trouble here. As for the brat’s brother, I will pay extra attention to him and bring him back unharmed.” Old Ghost agreed without hesitation.
“Then this disciple will return first.”
Xiao Chen said to Old Man Ghost, then chatted with Bai Ruo for a while. After telling her not to worry, he took the Teleportation Formation back to Southwind City and returned to the South Spirit Immortal Sect.
He had just returned to the South Spirit Immortal Sect when Elder Zhang sent him a message, asking him to pay his respects as soon as possible.
Without stopping, Xiao Chen rushed to Elder Zhang’s residence.
As soon as he stepped through the door, before he could even bow, Elder Zhang had already begun berating him.
“I say, brat, you’re really something. You actually did such a big thing behind my back. If that old ghost hadn’t sent me a message just now, I wouldn’t have believed it!”
“Why didn’t you tell me who was worried that I would swallow your Holy Immortal Fruit?”
Elder Zhang looked at Xiao Chen with an unfriendly expression. Obviously, he was not in a good mood.
“Ahem, Master, what are you talking about? I was just worried about Master Ghost’s safety and didn’t think too much about it.”
Xiao Chen instantly felt very awkward. Although he knew that Elder Zhang was joking, he still felt very awkward.
After all, he did not discuss such a big thing with Elder Zhang. It was obvious that he did not trust Elder Zhang.
However, he could not possibly say that he was worried that Elder Zhang would feel sorry for the Holy Immortal Fruit and would not allow him to exchange the Holy Immortal Fruit for Old Man Ghost’s life.
However, even though he did not say it out loud, Elder Zhang was a powerful figure. He could tell what Xiao Chen was thinking with just one look.
“Hmph, I know exactly what you’re worried about. It’s my fault for not paying attention. I remember that you asked me about the value of the Holy Immortal Fruit. At that time, I thought you were just curious and did not expect you to actually have a Holy Immortal Fruit. I did not expect you to do such a big thing in the blink of an eye!” Elder Zhang exposed Xiao Chen directly.
“I’m at fault. Please punish me, Master.” Xiao Chen was also very straightforward. He knew that he could not hide it from Elder Zhang, so he directly admitted his mistake.
Moreover, his attitude was very sincere, as if he was willing to accept any punishment.
“You brat, you’re very clever.
If I punish you because of this, won’t that old fart Old Man Ghost fight me to the death when he comes back?
You’re very impressive now. You’re his savior. If I punish you, he will be heartbroken. “Elder Zhang pointed his finger at Xiao Chen’s forehead and scolded.
“Hehe, Master, I can’t thank you enough for being lenient,” Xiao Chen said, taking advantage of the situation.
“Hmph, I’ll forget about it this time. However, if there’s anything big in the future, you must tell me and Old Man Ghost. If you make decisions on your own, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship as master and disciple. This time, you’re lucky to have the help of the Divine Prophecy Pavilion!
If it wasn’t for the help of others, you would’ve been devoured by others by now. Don’t you know how dangerous it is to sell the Holy Immortal Fruit with your current cultivation level? ”
Fortunately, nothing happened this time. That old fart Old Man Ghost benefited from the disaster and broke through to the Immortal Emperor Realm. He even entered the Dao. Otherwise … hmph!
How infuriating! ”
Elder Zhang was obviously very angry. He felt that Xiao Chen’s actions this time were too rash. Although the outcome was good, Elder Zhang was still angry when he thought about how Xiao Chen had recklessly sold the Holy Immortal Fruit. Because of a moment of carelessness, Xiao Chen was already dead.
Xiao Chen listened obediently. Although Elder Zhang kept scolding him, Xiao Chen could naturally hear the concern in his words.
He could only smile along and not open his mouth to defend himself. After all, he knew that he had indeed gone overboard this time. Even if he didn’t tell Old Man Ghost, he should have at least told Elder Zhang about such a serious matter.
Moreover, Elder Zhang was right. If it wasn’t for the help of Chen Hao and Chen Jian, he would have been consigned to eternal damnation.
After Elder Zhang finished scolding him, Xiao Chen laughed dryly and said, “I promise there won’t be a next time. If there’s anything else I want to sell in the future, I’ll definitely ask Master for help.”
Elder Zhang was very satisfied with Xiao Chen’s attitude of admitting his mistake. He then said with a hint of anticipation, “That’s more like it. However, do you have any other good treasures in your hands? Take them out and show them to me. I’ve only heard of the Holy Immortal Fruit. I’ve never seen it before, but you’ve already sold it.”
“No, no …” Xiao Chen shook his head repeatedly.
