Chapter 1400: Challenging the Great Elder
The elder really didn't know the secret. He was just following orders. If Lu Chen didn't hand over the treasure, he would trap Lu Chen to death in the Spiritual Valley and not let Lu Chen go out.
The people around him could hardly understand what the elder and Lu Chen were saying, because they spoke very cryptically. No one knew who the person guarding the spring was?
Only Lingwa's eyes widened when she heard this. Of course she knew that the person guarding the spring was the Linghuang.
Why did Emperor Ling instruct the elders to embarrass Lu Chen?
Did Lu Chen really collect Tianhuo's treasures?
What does the Spirit Emperor want with that treasure?
The last question was something Lingwa couldn't guess even if she broke her head.
"I'll take the third path!
Lu Chen said with a stern expression.
He would not hand over the Jinghuo Glazed Ball, nor would he be placed under house arrest in the Spiritual Valley.
The Spirit Emperor wanted to put him under house arrest simply to prevent him from finding Sky Fire and to deny him the chance to resurrect the Nine Heavens Phoenix.
"Lu Chen, there is no third way!"
The elder sighed and said in a deep tone, "This is the meaning of the spring guard. Not to mention you, even the old man cannot disobey it."
"That's for you Eldar, and I'm of no use."
Lu Chen took out his long sword, pointed at the elder and said, "The third way is the way of force. I will use force to open this way!"
"You want to challenge the old man?"
The elder asked in surprise.
"Yes, I challenge you, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Lu Chen said.
"It's a joke, you are only halfway to the realm of refining gods. Do you know what realm Laochan is?"
The elder laughed.
"You elders are all true kings!"
Lu Chen said.
"As long as you know, then you still dare to challenge me?"
"I know that you are very powerful in combat. You killed Fan Dang with one strike, setting a precedent for killing a saint with a pattern of bones in the half-step of the God Refining Realm!"
"However, I think no matter how strong your combat power is, I think you are only as strong as the Jade Bone Saint. Let alone challenge me, you can't beat the Jade Bone Saint?"
"If you challenge me, it's no different than seeking death!"
The elder said so.
"I'll make a bet with you. If I lose, I'll hand over the treasure!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If I win, just let me go. Don't even think about trapping me in Linggu."
"Lu Chen, you are crazy, there is no way you can challenge the true king!"
Lingwa became anxious and quickly advised, "Also, the Great Elder is the most powerful True King among all the elders. If he just uses a finger, you won't be able to resist him."
"Boss, please withdraw your challenge!"
Everyone in the Fanatic Legion panicked and all started to persuade.
"Master Lu Chen, you cannot be the opponent of the great elder. You must not challenge the great elder!"
"The elder rarely takes action, but when he does, he will hurt others. Please give me three favors, Mr. Lu Chen."
Ling Gang and others were also panicked and said one after another.
"Lu Chen accepts everyone's kind advice, but Lu Chen only has this way to go today and has no choice."
Lu Chen looked at the elder again and said, "Elder, my path has been chosen and the challenge has been issued. Is it your turn?"
"Okay, let me fight!"
The elder originally didn't want to fight with Lu Chen, but Lu Chen actually challenged him in public. If he didn't fight, he would not be able to let go of his old face.
"Elder, just teach him a lesson, don't beat him to death. After all, he is the destined person of our spiritual clan!"
"Elder, just use one finger. Never use a slap. I'm afraid you are too strong and will slap him to death."
"Elder, you can do it with just a breath. At Lu Chen's level, I guess he won't be able to withstand a blow from you."
"Elder, it's better not to take action, just arrest him and leave him speechless!"
"Actually, there is no need for the elder to take action. I can just wait and take action."
The other elders all flattered the eldest elder, but they all meant the same thing. The eldest elder would definitely abuse Lu Chen casually!
Anyway, the strength gap between Lu Chen and the Great Elder is several heavens and earths, and there is no way he can be the opponent of the Great Elder.
If the elder wants to abuse Lu Chen, then he should abuse him how he wants!
"Don't worry, everyone, I am sensible and will ensure that I teach Lu Chen a lesson that will be remembered deeply!"
The elder laughed loudly, then jumped up and leaped higher into the sky, "Lu Chen, come up here. You will know the outcome with one move. If you lose, don't deny it."
"Don't worry, elder, you and I are both respectable people in the Spirit Clan. We will not deny it to anyone who loses!"
Lu Chen also laughed and jumped up directly to confront the elder, "There are countless people from the spirit tribe here, as well as many human tribes. Anyone who denies anyone's reputation will not end well!"
"You don't need to push me against the old man. He has lived a long time and naturally he will not deny it!"
The elder nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face, as if he didn't care about Lu Chen.
"Great Elder, you are the strongest true king of the Spirit Clan. Lu Chen is definitely no match for you. Please show mercy!"
Under the sky, Lingwa's pleading voice came.
Lu Chen insisted on challenging the elder, and Lingwa had no way to stop him. She could only hope that the elder would not attack too hard or beat Lu Chen to death.
Furthermore, the elders have special status and noble status, all of which are the heritage of the Spiritual Clan!
No matter how powerful she is as the king of the spirit clan, she cannot control these elders, and she has no ability to do so.
Otherwise, she could cure these elders based on their unreasonable demands on Lu Chen.
"Please, great elder, be merciful!"
Ling Gang also led the crowd to plead with the elder.
However, the fanatic army was silent, and no one pleaded with the elder.
The legion soldiers knew that Lu Chen had many means, and they knew Lu Chen's character. Lu Chen would not die!
Without some confidence, Lu Chen would never challenge a true king!
Mingyue and Wan'er were very calm, because they knew that Lu Chen had a trump card in his hand, and this trump card was very strong!
"Don't worry, I won't take Lu Chen's life. I just want him to hand over one thing."
The elder had no expression on his face and continued to say so shamelessly.
"Then can we start?"
Lu Chen asked.
"Anytime, I am older than you, let you make the first move."
The elder said so.
"Then I am offended, please accept it, elder!"
Lu Chen smiled, and did not summon the battle body, but reached into the Chaos Pearl and took out a Jade Qilin!
Roar!
As soon as the Jade Qilin appeared, it immediately roared at the elder!
The sound waves of the Qilin roar were powerful, and it hit the elder head-on. The sound wave airflow blew up the elder's robe.
Unfortunately, the elder's cultivation was too high, and there was almost no effect.
"Divine beast Jade Qilin?"
The elder stared at the Jade Qilin, his face somewhat moved, "The power of the Qilin roar is indeed very great. If it were a wild beast, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to resist this roar. Unfortunately, our spirit race is not afraid of the Qilin roar. If you expect the Qilin roar to defeat me, you are thinking too much."
