Chapter 126 - Superb Swordsmanship, Being Targeted

??

Meng Hang’s expression was extremely ugly. However, there were Zhan Clan members present, and it was not good for him to flare up. If outsiders were to see such a scandal, it would be a joke. To the proud Meng Hang, it was simply unbearable.

“We ran into that Gu Xi. In the end, he spoke rudely and even offended us. We originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but in the end...”

Meng Hang’s expression was extremely gloomy. “In the end, you guys weren’t strong enough and were made into such a sorry state?”

The few of them stiffened and immediately did not dare to raise their heads to look at Meng Hang’s expression. Even so, they could still feel the endless pressure coming from above their heads.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

After all, the Zhan Clan members were also here. Meng Hang still had to care about his face. He said in a low voice, “What was the outcome of the matter?”

The few of them quivered and quickly said. However, they concealed the fact that they were the first ones to provoke him. “Eldest Senior Brother, please don’t blame us. It’s that kid who’s too strange. We thought that he was easy to deal with.”

Meng Hang sneered. “Easy to deal with? In the end, you guys became like this.”

They stammered their lips for a long time, unable to speak. After hearing the cause and effect of the matter, Meng Hang’s eyes were filled with sternness. “A person from a small sect actually dares to provoke our Ancient Sect. He’s simply courting death.”

Zhan Tianchen could not help but ask, “Wait, what did you say he was doing when you guys went over?”

Those people did not understand. “He was roasting fish.”

“Is it carp?”

These Ancient Sect disciples were even more curious. They only said that they were roasting fish, but the Zhan Clan members even mentioned the type of fish.

“I didn’t pay attention, but it looks like it.”

The Zhan Clan members could not help but look at each other. Their expressions were strange as they recalled the bonfire they had seen at the lakeside earlier and the fish bones scattered all over the ground.

Could it be the same person?

The Ancient Sect did not know why they had such expressions. Meng Hang frowned slightly and smelled something unusual. “Why are you asking this, Brother Zhan?”

Zhan Tianchen thought for a moment and decided to tell them what had happened on the lake. Even if he did not tell them, if Meng Hang and the others went to investigate, they would find something. It would be better to sell this favor.

“Are you saying that you were nearby and rushed over as soon as you saw something strange? In the end, there was nothing. The Golden Carp King wasn’t there either. Instead, there were traces of people grilling fish on the shore?”

The people from the Ancient Sect looked at Zhan Tianchen in disbelief. They all knew how powerful the Golden Carp King was. How could someone eat carp in front of him and remain unmoved?

Unless the Golden Carp King was not around at that time, or it had expended a large amount of spiritual energy and did not have the strength to fight back, or it had been defeated and subdued by that person.

“How could someone defeat the Golden Carp King? Its strength has already entered the Major Accomplishment stage. Even with so many of us combined, we are not its match. Could it be that someone suppressed their cultivation and sneaked into this Secret Realm?”

“The prohibition of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm is not just for show. How could it be so easily broken through? Otherwise, we could have invited our sect’s Patriarch to come.”

Compared to the last one, the first two were more likely.

Everyone had witnessed the uniqueness of the Primal Chaos Secret Realm. For thousands of years, no one had ever heard of anyone being able to succeed. Otherwise, the major sects would have invited the most powerful cultivators, as well as the disciples of the younger generation.

“All in all, we’ve seen it with our own eyes. If you don’t believe me, Brother Meng, you can bring some people to see for yourself.”

Meng Hang quickly waved his hand and said, “That’s absolutely not what I mean. It just seems that there are a lot of suspicious points in this matter. I don’t know whether it’s man-made or the Golden Carp King’s own doing.”

“Although that Gu Xi looks strange, he definitely doesn’t have such powerful strength. How could he be the person who defeated the Golden Carp King?”

Everyone thought about it and felt that it made sense. To be able to defeat the Golden Carp King, one must at least have the strength of the peak of the Major Accomplishment stage. However, the Primal Chaos Secret Realm did not allow cultivators above the Major Accomplishment stage to enter.

Unless someone deliberately suppressed their cultivation. Not to mention that they did not hear the news, just concealing their cultivation and entering the Secret Realm was very difficult.

“No matter what, this person offended our Ancient Sect. He must pay a painful price.”

A cold light flashed in Meng Hang’s eyes.

Zhan Tianchen and the others felt that these things were rather suspicious. They could not help but say, “Brother Meng, there are too many changes in the Primal Chaos Secret Realm this time. Moreover, we have not figured out the origin of this person. We must not act rashly.”

Zhan Tianchen felt that there were not so many coincidences in the world. Perhaps the person eating fish in the Golden Carp King’s territory was the same person that the Ancient Sect disciples had bumped into.

Now that the Golden Carp King’s whereabouts were unknown, he felt that he could not escape from the connection with that mysterious person. For him to be able to be so ostentatious and eat fish in the Golden Carp King’s territory, he must have a certain level of strength. It was impossible for him to be purely seeking death.

“Moreover, according to the descriptions of these disciples, this person casually picked a tree branch and it was comparable to a divine weapon. He cut your clothes but did not your his life. From this, it can be seen that his attainments in the way of the sword and his control over his strength have reached the level of perfection.”

Zhan Tianchen could not help but sigh. He boasted that his swordsmanship was also outstanding, but if he wanted to be as accurate as this person, he still needed to be a little more proficient.

Meng Hang’s face was gloomy. “Thank you for your good intentions, Brother Zhan. I know what to do with this matter. Let’s part ways here.”

Seeing that he had made up his mind and was ready to find trouble with Gu Xi, Zhan Tianchen did not say anything else.

“Then you should be more careful.”

After the two sides parted, Meng Hang followed the few disciples to the place where Gu Xi was previously. He did not find anyone. Looking at the completely extinguished bonfire, it seemed that Gu Xi had left for some time.

Meng Hang’s gaze was cold. “At least you ran fast. If I meet you next time, I definitely won’t be so lucky.”
