"Puff puff!"

It shook its head as it slowly walked forward. As for the other two Martial Ancestors, one of them was half-dead, and they had already lost more air than they could breathe and were on the verge of death. When they saw the little gold man approaching, their fingers kept moving and their eyes were filled with fear.

However, the little Golden Man had no intention of letting go. With a slip of his hand, he reaped the other party's life.

The last one was even more miserable. His lower body was charred black and his eyes were unfocused as he laid there. Even the appearance of the little gold man did not have the slightest reaction. Li Chen shook his head and the little gold man flashed a golden light.

This piece of land was riddled with holes after the intense battle, especially the fist imprint that had a diameter of ten meters, it was truly shocking.

"It seems like the Punishment King is determined to kill Brother Gongsun and me." Li Chen mumbled to himself as he looked into the distance, "I wonder how Brother Gongsun is doing now."

Gongsun Jian was actually a bit luckier than Li Chen. As he headed south, he guessed that the Punishment King would not let him off. He discussed the matter with two other members of the family and did not immediately flee.

Li Chen felt that no matter how urgent his situation was, it would not be good if he met that expert from the Punishment King. After thinking for a moment, he changed into an adventurer's outfit before setting off.

The Gongsun family was located at the east side of Beiming Nation. Li Chen kept walking straight until he arrived at Feng City after three or four days.

The Gongsun family lived in seclusion near Maple City.

These were all things Gongsun Jian had casually discussed with him.

According to Gongsun Jian, hidden families usually had their own holy lands. The method to open those holy lands was not complicated, and the hidden families had already grasped this method. This was also the origin of the hidden families' names.

Li Chen searched the main road of Feng City for a long time. Gongsun Jian said that there was a store of Gongsun Jian's in Feng City. If Li Chen wanted to be a guest, he could go there and find him.

After searching for a long time, Li Chen finally found a grocery store.

The business seemed to be very quiet. Li Chen walked in and the boss lazily looked at him and asked, "Sir, do you need anything?"

Li Chen rubbed his nose and looked at the old man. He was an old man in his fifties or sixties and he could not see the depth of his strength. Li Chen guessed that it was probably this Gongsun Jian and politely asked, "Old man, is this the Gongsun family's shop?"

The old man was surprised, but he quickly regained his composure and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? "

He did not deny Li Chen's words, but Li Chen felt that this was most likely the place. He immediately said, "I am Gongsun Jian's friend. I have matters to discuss with the Gongsun Clan's Patriarch. This is the keepsake."

As Li Chen spoke, he handed over the command token in his hand.

The old man was slightly surprised by Li Chen's words. He took the token from Li Chen's hand and carefully examined it.

"Please give me a direction, old man." Li Chen said.

The old man looked for a moment and confirmed that it was Gongsun Jian's token. Then, he handed the token over to Li Chen. He walked up and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He then closed the door and said to Li Chen, "Sir, please follow me."

Seems like he found the right person. Li Chen thought to himself as he followed the old man in front of him to the backyard.

It was said that those from the hidden aristocratic families could open up the sacred grounds freely. Li Chen was very curious about this, because he had seen with his own eyes that there were ten other families that could open the sacred grounds freely.

The old man brought Li Chen to the depths of the backyard. This type of front room was separated by a large courtyard. The courtyard outside was very ordinary. After they passed through the courtyard, the old man led Li Chen to a room.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had no enmity with the old man, Li Chen would have suspected that the old man was going to take him to a place where no one could find him to kill him!

The old man stopped at a counter in the room. He touched behind the counter and it automatically opened up.

There was actually a trap installed inside?

Li Chen was slightly puzzled.

Suddenly, a strong wave of spiritual power surged out from the old man's body and slowly poured into the wall. With the infusion of spiritual power, a door with a width of one meter and a height of two meters appeared on the wall.

Li Chen was astounded. So the method to open the Sacred Land was the same as before. It was just that the people from the hidden families used some sort of method to shrink the door by several times, and even a single person was able to open the door to the Sacred Land.

However, the old man in front of him was bringing him in. Wasn't he afraid that he would cause trouble for them in the future?

Li Chen followed the old man and walked inside. Inside, a long path appeared. When Li Chen saw the light coming from the exit, he couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

This was a valley. The path they took before was a cave. In front of Li Chen, there was a mountain range. It was emerald green, and the abundant spirit energy made the flowers, plants, and trees grow exceptionally vibrant.

When he saw the two old men guarding the cave, Li Chen felt that he had overthought things.

The two old men sat cross-legged with their eyes closed. However, Li Chen felt that the two old men were not simple.

As expected, the old man who brought Li Chen in bowed to the two of them, "Greetings Elders. This is a guest of my Gongsun Clan from the secular world. He has brought Young Master's keepsake to meet with our clan leader."

The two old men didn't say anything. The old man who spoke seemed to have let out a sigh of relief and turned around to leave with Li Chen.

"Sorry for disturbing you." After thinking about it, Li Chen said this when he passed by the two old men. To be sent to guard the clan's gate, these two old men must have a certain status in the clan. Li Chen's attitude must be friendly.

Li Chen was arranged by the old man to wait in the hall for a while.

Afterwards, a middle-aged man came out. He was dressed in luxurious clothing, and his face was somewhat similar to Gongsun Jian's. If there were no surprises, then this person should be a relative of Gongsun Jian, right?

"I heard that you brought Jian'er's command medallion?"

This person was Gongsun Jian's father, Gongsun Huang, as well as the current head of the Gongsun clan. He had heard that there was someone in the secular world who had brought a keepsake here, so he had come. After all, the Gongsun clan was a hidden aristocratic clan.

Li Chen did not think too much and handed over the token in his hand. "I am friends with Gongsun Jian in the secular world. He once invited me here to have a look, but he did not expect us to discover an earth-shattering secret."

Gongsun Huang carefully studied the token and after confirming that there was no mistake, he asked Li Chen what had happened.

Li Chen recounted the matter of him and Gongsun Jian discovering the Nangong Family before sighing, "I thought Brother Gongsun would go back to the family first. I was worried that he would be intercepted by the Nangong Family, so I came to inform you …"

Gongsun Huang was shocked when he heard what Li Chen said. He frowned and said: "Nangong … "Nangong …"

He suddenly grabbed Li Chen's shoulder in excitement and asked, "What does that old man look like?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "Its two eyes are almost bulging out. Its eyebrows are raised, and it has an aquiline nose. The tip of its mouth is very thin, and its height is neither short nor short …"

The moment Li Chen said that, Gongsun Huang was shocked: "It's Nangong Jue! He's actually still alive! "

What Gongsun Jian knew about the Nangong Clan was actually Gongsun Huang's story. Back then, the Gongsun Clan did not participate in the suppression of the Nangong Clan due to their long distance. However, this did not affect Gongsun Huang's interest in this matter.

Gongsun Jian knew what had happened and thought that the Nangong family had been completely annihilated. He never expected that there would still be people who managed to survive.

It was said that Nangong Jue was originally a noble young master with a graceful bearing. At such a young age, his strength had already reached the Martial Ancestor Realm, just like the current Gongsun Jian.

However, one day, the matter of the Nangong family sucking in people's blood for cultivation suddenly appeared. At that time, Nangong Jue also received a huge blow, but before he could even sigh with emotion, the Nangong family became the target of attacks from the hidden families.

He originally thought that the Nangong Family had been completely wiped out, but now it seemed that...

Gongsun Huang's gaze became deeper. He thanked Li Chen and then left Li Chen with the Gongsun Clan for a while. Where could Li Chen stay? He said his goodbyes because he still had matters to attend to.

As for what the Gongsun family would do next, that was not something he could consider.

Furthermore, Gongsun Huang wasn't too worried about Gongsun Jian's safety, or if Gongsun Jian's and the other two experts' life crystals hadn't shattered, it made Li Chen feel slightly reassured. This was all he could do for Gongsun Jian.

After Li Chen left the Gongsun Clan, he looked at the map and decided to head to the Spirit Ruins Sect to teach him. He was very curious about the current situation of the Spirit Ruins Sect.

Li Chen advanced towards the Flying Feather City. He really wanted to know why the Spirit Ruins Sect Leader would send people to assassinate him.

The Spirit Ruins Sect was not a hidden aristocratic family. Therefore, as long as they diligently investigated the country, they would be able to obtain some information.

For example, the Spirit Ruins Sect relied on the magical equipment in their hands to not put any other sects in their eyes, bullying the weak and oppressing the surrounding sects, which eventually caused the powers around Feather City to become tense. For example, the Spirit Ruins Sect had almost removed the disciples of the two sects because they had a powerful magical equipment.

As for exactly how powerful that magical equipment was, no one knew.

It had already been more than a year since Li Chen had repaired the magical equipment. If the Spirit Ruins Sect didn't use it properly within a year, the Pure Jade Bottle would have become a useless treasure long ago.

In fact, the Spirit Ruins Sect had already been reaping the consequences for a long time!

Li Chen had heard that something had suddenly gone wrong with the Spirit Ruins Sect. The Holy Jade Bottle lost its effectiveness, and without the deterrence of the supreme Divine Weapons, the oppressed sects instantly began resisting.
