"Why are you being chased? Did you do something bad?" Xiao Longnu spoke frankly and directly asked if the other party was a good person or a bad person.
"I was discussing something with an expert in Xiangyang City. The matter was not settled, but there was a misunderstanding and I was pursued by her.”Cao Chen explained with a smile.
Xiao Longnu looked at him and didn't say anything. It was obvious that his answer wasn't convincing.
"How can we distinguish between right and wrong in the martial arts world? How can there be absolute good and bad people in the martial arts world?”Cao Chen replied with a deeper meaning.
Xiao Longnu agreed with his answer. They were all people in the martial world, so there was no need for anyone to flaunt how righteous they were.
"That being said, it's an undeniable fact that you'll disturb my cultivation by taking refuge here.”Xiao Longnu didn't like strangers barging into their Ancient Tomb Sect.
Even though this was the periphery of Ancient Tomb Sect, it was still disturbing her peace.
"If Young Lady pleads for me to stay here and hide for a while, I am willing to take out a top-secret cultivation technique as compensation!”
As Cao Chen spoke, he took out a Holy Maiden Heart Sutra cultivation technique.
Xiao Longnu didn't care at first, but when she saw the cover of the cultivation technique, she frowned as if she was shocked.
" Saint's Heart Sutra " was created by Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect, and his female confidant, Lin Chaoying, after they fell in love. It condensed the essence of their martial arts.
However, Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang had a falling out, and the Saint Heart Sutra had disappeared.
He did not expect it to be in the hands of a nameless junior!
"How did you get the Saint Heart Sutra?”Xiao Longnu's mind raced. She decided to keep him here and see if his cultivation technique was a bluff.
"Late last night, I was exchanging martial arts with a friend. After a deep exchange, I sent her billions of essence true qi. As a return gift, she gave me this long-lost supreme martial art! The enemy took a fancy to this martial arts book on my body and wanted to kill me to steal the treasure. I had no choice but to hide here.”
Cao Chen told Xiao Longnu the ins and outs of the Holy Maiden Heart Sutra. At the same time, he expressed his intention to sell this supreme martial art in exchange for a place to live.
"Alright, I'll believe you for the time being. Come in with me!”Seeing that the other party had the Saint Heart Sutra, Xiao Longnu decided to make him stay and see if he was lying.
Just like that, Cao Chen obtained the opportunity to enter Ancient Tomb Sect by presenting the unedited version of the Saint Heart Sutra.
Of course, his hiding in Ancient Tomb Sect was just an excuse. His real purpose was to give Xiao Longnu the Saintess Heart Sutra.
However, Xiao Longnu was a proud person. If it was given to her for no reason, she would definitely not accept it. She might even suspect that the other party had ulterior motives.
Thus, Cao Chen thought of this idea. He pretended that he had escaped here to avoid the pursuit of his enemies and offered the Saint Heart Sutra to seek a place to live.
Xiao Longnu promised him that she would let him stay here for three days. During these three days, she could borrow his Saint Heart Sutra.
Xiao Longnu was not someone who coveted other people's cultivation techniques. Hiding here for three days was not enough to exchange for a supreme martial art.
Cao Chen took advantage of these three days to focus on cultivation. He wanted to consolidate his strength as a martial grandmaster and prepare for the upcoming battle.
He knew that Huang Rong was not an ordinary person. She would definitely have a backup plan.
Sure enough, on the second day after Cao Chen hid in Ancient Tomb Sect, Guo Jing, Apothecary Huang, Hong Qigong, and the other super experts followed him.
Guo Jing was at the peak of the martial grandmaster realm, while Apothecary Huang and Hong Qigong were at the great circle of the martial grandmaster realm. They were all top-notch experts. In the entire martial world, there were not many people who were their match.
If Cao Chen wanted to go out now, he would definitely die even with the help of the system.
"Rong 'er, tell me in detail how that Cao thief bullied you!”Guo Jing kept asking Huang Rong, but she didn't answer. Instead, she sobbed softly and shook her head.
Guo Jing was very concerned about Huang Rong, but his beloved wife was murdered. How could she describe the shameful scene in detail? Wasn't this the same as exposing a scar?
Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi, and the other three searched the entire Zhongnan Mountain, but they couldn't find any trace of Cao Chen.
"Rong 'er, let's go back first. If we can't find Cao Chen, I'll go to the East Chamber of the Ming Country to settle the score with Cao Zhengchun and kill these eunuchs!”Old Huang's evil eyes spewed fire. He had never seen his daughter suffer such a great grievance.
Hong Qigong also had a worried expression. Huang Rong was also the treasure in his heart. He had to take revenge for being humiliated!
After some discussion, Huang Laoxie and Hong Qigong decided to gather all the forces and make a trip to the Ming Kingdom ten days later.
The Ming court was now divided into three forces. The Ming royal family was one side, the Divine Constabulary of the Iron Gut Divine Marquis Zhu was another side, and the East and West Chambers were another side.
They believed that even if Cao Chen could run away from the monk, he couldn't run away from the temple. Cao Zhengchun had five adopted sons and three adopted daughters, and Cao Chen was the most disliked one among them.
If Cao Zhengchun knew that his adopted son Cao Chen had done such a terrible thing, he would never let Cao Chen off!
During the three days that Cao Chen was in Ancient Tomb Sect, he was not in a hurry to continue breaking through. Instead, he had been consolidating his martial grandmaster cultivation.
When one reached the grandmaster realm, it was obviously not enough to just have true qi. One still needed high-tier martial arts techniques to support it.
Cao Chen could only cultivate one set of Silver Dragon Phantom Spear, which could barely support his early-stage martial grandmaster realm.
Xiao Longnu had been cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, but her progress was not smooth. Her thoughts were hindered, and her zhenqi circulation was often disrupted.
At this moment, the appearance of the Holy Maiden Heart Sutra made her feel as if she had obtained a treasure.
She had thought that this incomplete manual was a fake 'Holy Maiden Heart Sutra'. However, after reading more than ten pages, she realized that this was the unedited version of Wang Chongyang's and Grandmaster Lin Chaoying's supreme martial arts!
Xiao Longnu was mesmerized, but three days passed quickly.
Three days had passed, and Cao Chen had consolidated his martial grandmaster cultivation. He felt that Huang Rong and Guo Jing had already retreated, and it was time to go out.
"Miss Long, three days have passed. I have to go.”Cao Chen cupped his fists and expressed his intention to leave.
"You can't leave!" Xiao Longnu suddenly said. Her voice was much higher, and she seemed very anxious, as if she had lost her composure.
