After Li Zhongyun received Qin Chuan's call, he quickly gathered his men and rushed over.

"Great Master Qin!" Li Zhongyun bowed respectfully.

He knew about this demolition area but didn't understand why Qin Chuan would call him here so late at night.

Qin Chuan went straight to the point, "The murderer at the ball has been found."

Ball? Murderer?

Li Zhongyun was stunned for a moment. He had a temporary mental lapse and did not realize it immediately.

"That person was killed by a black magic practitioner," Qin Chuan continued.

A black magic practitioner?

Li Zhongyun's expression changed.

Of course, he had heard of black magic practitioners before. They were just like physiognomists, except their methods were even more vicious.

"The black magic practitioner and his companions inside have already been killed. Get someone to clean up the place. Remember to do it well, make sure that the officials don't discover anything unusual." Qin Chuan calmly instructed.

Li Zhongyun was shocked again when he heard that the black magic practitioner was dead.

He knew about black magic practitioners. They had many tricks up their sleeves, especially with the toyols they raised. They were extremely difficult to deal with, and even a martial Grandmaster might die in their hands.

However, Li Zhongyun had personally experienced the terror of Qin Chuan, and he believed in his words.

"Oh yes! That black magic practitioner suffered a backlash from a toyol. You guys probably won't be able to find his corpse." Qin Chuan added.

Li Zhongyun did not say much.

After that, he arranged for his subordinates to take care of the scene quickly.

When he entered the room and saw the broken bits of flesh scattered everywhere, even Li Zhongyun, who was used to seeing gory scenes, felt a little nauseous.

At the same time, the reverence he had for Qin Chuan grew.



Three days later.

Lyu Yuhua and the others bade farewell to Qin Chuan and embarked on the path of cultivation to free the souls of the world.

On the other hand, Qin Chuan and Li Zhongyun headed to the Li's Clan Residence to participate in the guest elder appointment ceremony.

On this day, the Li Clan Residence was especially lively. The sounds of gongs and drums filled the air as colorful flags were displayed.

The entire area was decorated with lanterns and colored banners. The lanterns hung high in the air. It was a joyous occasion.

They had spent a long time preparing for this guest elder appointment ceremony. They had practically gone by the highest standards.

As a result, the people of the Li Clan were all very curious about this new guest.

The martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains were also especially curious.

This was because the past guest elder appointment ceremonies were just going through the motions and were not as grand.



At around eight in the morning, a black helicopter flew over from afar. It hovered above the Li Clan Residence and landed slowly.

On the helipad, Li Jingchen and the other elders gathered, awaiting Qin Chuan's arrival.

A large number of Li clansmen were also gathered outside the helipad.

They craned their necks and widened their eyes in anticipation.

Soon, the helicopter stopped.

Li Jingchen and the other elders rushed to the cabin door, their faces filled with respect.

The cabin door opened, and Li Zhongyun walked out first.

"Patriarch, Elders!" Li Zhongyun bowed.

Li Jingchen and the others ignored him.

Right now, their attention was entirely on Qin Chuan.

At this moment, Qin Chuan walked out.

His clothes today were no different from usual. He wore a white T-shirt, casual pants, and a pair of brandless sneakers.

At first glance, he didn't look much different from the average youth.

The Li clansmen who were observing from the outside were instantly extremely surprised. Qin Chuan's image was worlds apart from the guest elder they had imagined.

They knew very well that anyone who could become a guest elder of the clan could not be an ordinary person.

However, Qin Chuan's appearance disappointed them. They had a lot of complaints.

"Such an ordinary youth will become our guest elder in the future? I don't think there's anything special about him! The clan's higher-ups are being too hasty this time!" Someone questioned.

"I think he's rather ordinary too. Putting everything else aside, let's just talk about his appearance, even I'm much better looking than him."

"Hah! This is my 113th day of missing Mr. Fan."

"I don't know what the higher-ups of the clan are thinking. What capabilities can he have at such a young age? They must have been fooled!"

"I think so too. He's just an ordinary person. I can send him to heaven with one hand."

"Aiya! All of you, shut up! If the people from the Law Enforcement Hall hear this, you'll definitely be punished."

"But I just can't accept it! How can such an ordinary person be our guest elder?"

"That's right! In the future, when we see him, we have to bow and greet him. How aggrieving would that be?"

"We have to believe in the foresight of the Patriarch and the elders. They would never joke with the future of the family."

"Yes, we must trust the Patriarch and the elders.

"Even if that person looks very ordinary on the surface, we can't jump to conclusions too early. You have to know that many formidable people like to pretend to be weak. They do things very low-key."

"Heh heh! If that person is really putting on an act, I'll twist my head off on the spot for all of you to kick it like a ball."

"Sigh! You…"



On the helipad, Qin Chuan's gaze swept across the Li clansmen outside.

He had clearly heard what they had just said.

He retracted his gaze and looked at Li Jingchen. Then, he smiled and said, "Patriarch Li, it seems like your clansmen don't like me!"

Li Jingchen's expression changed abruptly.

He noticed that Qin Chuan's gaze was directed in a certain direction. It must have been something done by his clansmen that had upset him.

For a moment, Li Jingchen's expression darkened, not knowing how to respond.

At this moment, Qin Chuan suddenly spoke again, "Patriarch Li, I was just making a casual remark earlier, don't take it too seriously."

Li Jingchen froze. He wanted to say something but hesitated again and could only respond with a dry laugh.

Li Jingchen said, "Great Master Qin, the auspicious timing for the appointment is close. Let's go to the main hall."

"Okay!" Qin Chuan had no objections.



"Look, that guest elder is coming."

"I'd like to see what's so special about him up close."

Very quickly, Qin Chuan arrived.

Because of the presence of Li Jingchen and the other elders, these Li clansmen became very well-behaved and kept their mouths shut.

They looked at Qin Chuan very carefully, wishing to see through him entirely.

After Qin Chuan and the others moved forward, they started to discuss.

"I don't see anything special about him. He's just an ordinary person."

"Me too. I really can't figure out anything. I really don't know what the higher-ups are thinking."

"Sigh! I am sure that this guest elder appointment ceremony will be our clan's greatest failure. We will definitely be laughed at by the other clans."

"Sigh! How disappointing!"



Li Clan Hall.

As the main venue of the guest elder appointment ceremony, the decorations here were quite luxurious.

The young girls from the Li Clan stood beautifully in a few rows. They had the most sincere smiles on their faces as they welcomed the new guest elder.

In the main hall, other than the Li clansmen, there were other martial arts families.

The relationship between these martial arts families and the Li family was relatively better. Otherwise, the Li family wouldn't have agreed to let them come over.

Not long after, under the crowd's anticipation, Qin Chuan arrived at the main hall under the escort of Li Jingchen and the elders.

His arrival made the atmosphere peak.
