Invincible Martial King

"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."    

Feeling the sincerity in the old man's words, Lu Chen's eyes revealed a trace of doubt but it quickly disappeared.    

"Their Demon Suppressing Tower's in a bad state and almost caused you to encounter danger inside. I apologize on behalf of them."    

"No need for that."    

Lu Chen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "However, why were Demon Suppressing Tower like that just now?"    

"Could it be that there's a problem with the formation?"    

"Strength formation problem?"    

Having received Lu Chen's reminder, this Elder Wu Yuan seemed to suddenly recall something. He quickly pinched his fingers and made some calculations. Instantly, his face became gloomy and he viciously said, "How dare you."    

"Someone actually purposefully destroyed the Spirit Convergence Array that is the source of the energy underground."    

"No wonder there was a riot in the Demon Suppressing Tower today."    

The Spirit Convergence Array was the core of the entire Demon Suppressing Tower and it was protected by an extremely strong defensive formation, but it was actually damaged by a small half. Even if it was just half of it, it was enough to cause the Demon Suppressing Tower to lose its energy source and cause the seal to loosen within one or two days.    

"Please forgive me, Elder Wu Yuan."    

"We really don't know."    

Hearing this, the faces of the four disciples all changed. It was a heinous crime to intentionally destroy the Spirit Convergence Array beneath the Demon Suppressing Tower. They had always been guarding this place, and were the most likely suspect to do so.    

"The underground formation hasn't been broken at all, and someone has had to destroy it in the next two days. Could it be that someone knew that I was going to enter Demon Suppressing Tower, so they wanted me to die inside?" Lu Chen glanced at them and said.    

Wu Yuan's expression was extremely ugly. If it was really as Lu Chen had said, then the personnel responsible for overseeing this place today would have committed an unforgivable crime. If this matter blew up, he would be implicated.    

"Please forgive me, little brother."    

"This is our negligence."    

Wu Yuan coldly glanced at the four of them. He then said to Lu Chen in a deep voice, "No matter who sabotages the underground formation, I will find him after digging three feet underground."    

"I'll find the killer."    

Wu Yuan's words were sincere and he didn't say anything to shirk the responsibility. Lu Chen was able to tell that he really didn't know about this.    

However, such an accident happened right after he entered the Demon Suppressing Tower today, Lu Chen did not believe that the several disciples guarding this place knew nothing.    

If not for the Heaven And Earth Profound Tower and the Little Yuanyang Sword Formation, other people would have died inside.    

"I hope that Elder Wu Yuan can properly investigate this matter and give me the truth. Give us the truth in Kungwu Hall." With that, Lu Chen left without looking back.    

"All of you, be honest with me."    

"Has anyone else been here in the past few days?" Wu Yuan's face turned ashen. Even though his Kungwu Hall had declined, Lu Chen was the number one new disciple in the Dao Club. If something were to happen to his Demon Suppressing Tower, then it would be enough to make him lose his identity as an elder.    

Because the commotion caused by the Demon Suppressing Tower was not small, the news quickly spread across the majority of the Extreme Tao Academic Palace.    

Because of the sudden uprising of the Demon Suppressing Tower, the matter of Lu Chen almost running into danger was spread out at the same time. This time, the elders of the Orthodox Unity Hall and Taiyi Hall could not sit still.    

Lu Chen had won the first position of the Dao Council in front of the two hall elders and disciples. If anyone disliked him, they could only be the two hall elders or the two hall elders.    

In order to put the suspicion aside, the two Palace Elders had announced at the same time that they would help Elder Wu Yuan investigate the truth. At the same time, the Disciplinary Hall, which held a high position in the Extreme Tao Academic Palace, was also involved in this matter.    

After all, the Demon Suppressing Tower rebellion was not a small matter.    

"Lu Chen, are you alright?"    

"I heard that something happened at the Demon Suppressing Tower area."    

Just as he returned to the Kungwu Hall, Fu Feng rushed over in a hurry as he had obviously heard the news.    

"Don't worry."    

"Some people want my life, but my life is very tough." Lu Chen smiled faintly, signalling for the former to be at ease.    

"What happened inside?"    

Lu Chen did not hide anything and told him about the dangers that occurred within the Demon Suppressing Tower.    

"Could it have been done by the Orthodox Unity Hall?"    

The Demon Suppressing Tower that was originally fine had never been in any danger before, but when Lu Chen entered the Demon Suppressing Tower, the Spirit Convergence Array underground was destroyed. It was obvious that someone wanted the latter to die inside.    

The biggest suspect was the person from Orthodox Unity Hall!    

"Who knows?"    

"However, it seems like there are people who don't want me to live on in the Extreme Tao Academic Palace." Lu Chen's eyes were dark and profound, and the corner of his mouth even had a demonic smile.    

"Don't let me know who he is, or I'll definitely avenge you." Hearing that, Fu Feng clenched his fists and said.    

… ….    

That night.    

Many uninvited guests had come to the Kunwu Mountain, including elders from the Orthodox Unity Hall and the Taiyi Hall, and even people from the Punishment Hall. The two palace elders did not come empty-handed, they had brought quite a few treasures, nothing more than deliberately ignoring the fact that Lu Chen had met with danger in the Demon Suppressing Tower today, and that it was not the doing of the people from their respective Tao Hall.    

Of course, Lu Chen would not meet these people. If he had the time to care about who did the dirty work, he might as well spend more time to improve his own strength.    

After experiencing today's events, he could be considered to have woken up. These days, he had indeed been somewhat inflated, and thought that he had lowered his vigilance a little because of the Extreme Tao Academic Palace.    

Even though he was related to Kungwu Hall, the current Kungwu Hall did exist and die, the eldest senior brother went into closed door training and no one saw him. Second Senior Brother Chang Wenbo, on the other hand, was blind despite his powerful strength and never went down the mountain to ask about anything.    

Perhaps the other two Tao Hall people didn't like the way he and Fu Feng joined the Kungwu Hall, but they did not display too much of their talent previously, so they did not suffer the hatred of the people in the dark.    

But now it was different. He had obtained the number one position in the Dao Gathering, which caused many people to have other thoughts towards him. Thus, his situation wasn't as good as they had imagined.    

At night, a cool breeze blew gently.    

From the wooden house Lu Chen built, the sound of forging swords could still be heard. The rhythmic, light sound of forging swords echoed in the wind.    

Second Senior Brother Chang Wenbo walked closer to the wooden house. He looked at the focused Lu Chen and said with a smile, "I still have some refining materials here, take them all."    

After saying that, he put down a Storage Ring finger and gracefully left. From start to finish, he did not ask about what had happened today.    

But when Lu Chen picked up the Storage Ring Finger, he found out that this Second Senior Brother Yuan cared more about himself than he had imagined, because there were a lot of refining materials inside...
