Only when they returned to the courtyard of the past few days would Li Chen be able to have a good talk with the past few days.

At this moment, even the other days were excited. They looked at Li Chen and said, "You brat! What is your cultivation level like now? "

Li Chen smiled and said, "I guess he is probably a Stage Four Martial King!"

Li Tian was stunned for a moment, and then said in disbelief, "Feng Xing is a level four Martial King? Two steps a year? "

Three years ago, Li Chen was only a Martial Ancestor Realm Level 7. Now, he had actually become a Grade Four Martial King. This would have shocked anyone.

Li Chen rubbed his nose. He knew that his strength had improved tremendously, but that was the truth.

Ri Tian slapped the table happily: "Alright! as expected of my previous disciples! "

Over the past three years, Li Chen had constantly been improving his own strength. No one could understand how hard he worked to increase his strength to such an extent.

The past few days, he was really too satisfied with Li Chen. He almost couldn't hold back tears. The future hope of the Sword School was all on Li Chen.

However, even now, he still had no plans to let Li Chen take over the sword sect. Li Chen still needed time to grow.

It wasn't easy for him to get out of seclusion, and after he gathered with Li Jun, Li Chen prepared to go down the mountain.

There were still people waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. He wondered how the rumors were going.

Three years had really changed a lot. When Li Chen arrived at the Tianguang City again, he felt touched. By the time he arrived at the Tianguang City, it was already dark and the city gates were already closed.

But he couldn't wait for tomorrow. He immediately, secretly, snuck into the city through the skies above Skylight City.

Li Jun originally wanted to head straight for the Situ Family, but found that the atmosphere there was extremely weird.

After spending so much time in seclusion, Li Chen had become extremely sensitive. He looked strangely at the sky above and turned around to walk towards the Leng Residence.

In three years, the biggest change would definitely be in Skylight City.

The three great clans' era seemed to have passed, and a powerful figure once more appeared in Tianguang City.

Earlier, Li Chen had stayed in the Leng Residence. Naturally, he knew where Leng Echo's courtyard was. However, when he passed by the sky above, he discovered that the light in the room he stayed in was still on.

The door was opened by someone and a slim figure walked out.

Li Chen took a closer look and realized it was a rumor!

Why did Little Charmer return to the Leng Residence?

Just as Li Chen was wondering, Little Charmer suddenly sat down on the stairs.

Three years was not a long time, nor was it short, but it was already enough for a small legend to say that she had grown up. Three years was not a long time, nor short, but it was enough for a small legend to say that she had grown up.

"Damn bastard!" and he still hasn't come back! " Little Charmer shouted angrily into the air. After that, she was a little disappointed again. "Idiot, I missed you so much …"

It had been three years. She had waited in Tianguang City for three years, and during this time, there were no news of Li Chen. Even the Yang Gate escort company had made a name for themselves, yet Li Chen had not appeared.

Little Charmer sighed softly. Suddenly, she felt an aura envelop her. A pair of strong arms hugged her from behind. She was startled and immediately wanted to struggle.

"Didn't you say you missed me?"

Those short words immediately caused Little Charmer to be stunned. She opened her eyes wide and hugged herself tightly with both hands. A familiar aura came over, causing her breathing to become even more careful. She was afraid that it was just a dream!

Li Chen didn't know what Little Charmer was thinking, but he leaned his head against Little Charmer's body and took a sniff. It was still that sweet smell, and he couldn't help but turn around, only to see Little Charmer's face full of tears as he looked at him absentmindedly.

"Idiot, why are you crying?" Staring at that thin face, Li Chen felt a bit of heartache as he wiped away the tears on Little Charmer's face. He then gently pressed his forehead against Little Charmer's forehead.

Hearing Li Chen calling his so gently, Little Chun suddenly hugged Li Chen. How many times had she dreamed that he had returned? But when he actually appeared in front of his, she felt as if he was dreaming.

Little Charmer patted Li Chen's chest and greedily smelled the fragrance off Li Chen's body. It was him! He really came back!

Li Chen's heart was filled with pity as he was hugged by Xiao Xun. He gently patted Xiao Du's back, but Xiao Xun's hand suddenly wrapped around his neck.

Li Chen pressed his lips against a soft object and impolitely began to absorb the aura that was passed down.

After not seeing her for three years, he missed her just as much.

They would wait for the two of them to deal with each other. After a while, Li Chen remembered to ask Little Charmer why he was here.

When this matter was brought up, Little Charmer's expression immediately darkened.

Unless she was forced to, she would never choose to stay in the Leng Residence.

"I wonder where this weirdo came from in Tianguang City. He insisted on staying in the disciple's residence and chased me out …"

That was a year ago. At that time, Yang Gate's escort office had already improved, and Little Chun had also sent her brother and sister to Heaven Town. However, because he was expecting Li Chen to come and find him, Little Chun did not choose to leave, but decided to stay and wait for Li Chen's return.

Little Charmer was a smart man, and would not let himself be put into a disadvantageous position. Seeing that he was no match for the other, he had thrown his armor and went to the Chilling Residence.

"Leng Ying and the others didn't help you?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows. If he saw that his woman was in trouble and did nothing, Li Chen would definitely go and ask for an explanation!

"We can't blame them …" The grapevine said helplessly, "That man was too strong. The three great families helped me a lot, but the Wu Zong they sent out had also failed to return. By now, no one knows what's going on there."

Li Chen was stunned when he heard this. "So for the past year or so, you have been living in the Leng Clan?"

Xiao Xun nodded his head and continued, "That person is too strong. We don't even dare to send a single person in because we have no idea where he came from."

There was only this much information from the rumors. Li Chen felt even more confused about the Situ Family's territory. What other secrets were there within it? Someone had actually stayed there to save them, and it was an expert at that?

It seemed that he could only wait until the sun rose to ask Leng Ying.

On the second day, when Li Chen appeared in front of Leng Echo, he was shocked and then became extremely excited.

After three years of time, he discovered that Li Chen's bearing was becoming more and more calm, and he no longer felt that immature attitude he had before. When he found out that Li Chen had come to investigate about the old Situ Family's matters, Leng Ying helplessly said, "This matter should wait for the two old fellows of Wei County and Chen Yuping to come together before speaking of it again!"

When they heard that Li Chen had returned, Wei County and Chen Yu Lou were also very excited.

Very quickly, the four of them gathered together once again as Li Chen started to inquire about the Situ Family's matters.

"I've sent people to keep an eye on the house. I only know that an old man lives there." Chen Yu Lou took a sip of tea and said.

Li Chen had heard about this from the grapevine before. Back then, he had met the old man face to face and seen his face. He had said that the old man was very old.

"That old man's strength is very high. He must already be a Martial King!" At that time, they had sent out six Martial Ancestor Realm experts together, but the result was that they were completely annihilated. This truly made him feel apprehensive.

Not a single one of the six experts had returned. This in itself was a matter that left them panic-stricken. Such an enemy was something they absolutely didn't want to face.

They didn't know how strong Li Chen was right now, but at most, he had just broken through the Martial Ancestor Realm to become a Martial King. In their eyes, this was already a great breakthrough; they never would have thought that Li Chen was already a Grade Four Martial King.

If they knew, they would have been so shocked that their chins would fall to the floor!

In any case, Leng Echo didn't wish for Li Chen to head to the Situ Family. Seeing Li Chen's moved expression, she said, "Although that old man forcibly took over the Situ Family, he hasn't done anything irreparable, so we can wait in peace. Maybe the old man will leave by himself."

Li Chen shook his head and said, "No, from the moment I entered the city last night, I felt that the atmosphere in the city wasn't right, especially the Situ Clan. That aura, it actually made me feel a little familiar."

It was now Leng Ying and the others' turn to be surprised. They couldn't sense the strange aura like Li Chen, but they didn't doubt Li Chen's words. They asked curiously, "Could it be someone we know?"

"That's impossible!"

Leng Ying shook his head helplessly as everyone looked at him, "There has never been such a person in my memories. He is definitely not someone we know. If we knew each other, it would only be related to Young Master Li …"

Everyone's gaze fell on Li Chen. Li Chen only felt that Leng Ying's words seemed to have woken him up. Immediately, he stood up from his chair and asked, "Could it be him?"

Leng Ying and the three people of Chen Yuping's group looked at each other, completely unable to figure out who Li Chen was talking about.

The old man knew him, had a familiar aura, and lived in the Situ Family. With these few Heavenly Swords combined, Li Chen could really guess who it was.

Seeing Li Chen's surprised expression, the three family heads looked at each other and finally replied in a cold voice, "Young Master Li, have you thought of who it is?"

Li Chen nodded his head. Looking at the three family heads' blank expressions, he explained: "It was just a guess, it might be someone from my Inquisition Sect. It's just that I don't know how he got here …"

In Li Chen's mind, there was one person that he could never forget no matter what. That person was Duan Ao Zong. There was also another person that was related to him: the Ghost Valley!

Eight years ago, Li Chen was trapped at the bottom of the cold pond. When he returned three years later, everyone on the mountain had died.

Until now, Li Chen still did not know the whereabouts of Ghost Valley. He had even asked about the past days, and even shook his head as if he did not take Ghost Valley seriously.

If so, what was his goal?
