A pile of doubts lingered in Li Chen's mind. He decided to go to the Scholar's Manor to have a look.

When he once again stood at the Scholar's Manor, Li Chen could clearly feel a strange aura permeating the entire mansion. It was similar to his Soul Transformation technique, but not exactly the same.

After entering the Disciple's Manor, Li Chen couldn't help but slightly frown because the mansion was too chaotic. Even the place he was standing at was a pile of messy items. The porcelain fragments on the ground were also piled up in a pile as if they had been robbed by a group of bandits.

Li Chen walked around inside and suddenly felt a powerful force coming from behind him. His body quickly dodged.

"Bam!"

It was the sound of a heavy object landing on the ground, and it just so happened to hit the wall. With a "boom", the wall was smashed into a pile of dust.

Li Chen's eyes slightly narrowed as he stared in the direction of the heavy object and asked, "Which expert is here? Can you show yourself?"

"Where did this little kid come from? How dare he disturb my peace and quiet!" A hoarse voice came from inside. The voice was hoarse and unpleasant to the ears, making people feel as if their heads were buzzing.

Li Chen frowned. How powerful was this old man to be able to infuse his Mental Energy into his voice? This opponent was definitely a powerful enemy!

"Compared to senior coming uninvited, my actions are nothing." Li Chen narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked into the room.

Hearing this, a series of whooshing sounds could be heard from inside, followed by a figure flying out quickly, completely exposing himself to Li Chen's eyes.

The old man wore a set of grey robes with a few patches on it that made him look poor and slovenly. His eyes drooped downwards, and the surrounding wrinkles were like dried up ravines. His brown eyes were deeply sunken in his eye sockets.

Li Chen was shocked. Wasn't this the person who almost caused his death, the Ghost Valley?! Compared to eight years ago, the Ghost Valley seemed to have aged a lot. If it were not for the daylight, Li Chenfei would have thought that he had seen a ghost!

Gui Gu also seemed to have recognized Li Chen. His expression seemed to be very excited as his eyes suddenly widened. He trembled as he said, "You!? It's you! "

Logically speaking, Li Chen should have called Ghost Valley Zi as his master, because after all, he was the one who had passed down the Manifestation Art to him. However, this old man was ruthless.

"You are still alive … Good... "Very good!"

Gui Gu coldly laughed, making Li Chen feel more and more uncomfortable. This uncomfortable feeling was entirely caused by the aura on Gui Gu Zi's body. Li Chen could not help but frown as the other party was born to be opposing him.

"Since the Ghost Valley Elder is back, why don't you go to the Sword School? I'm sure the Great Elder will be very happy to see you." Li Chen had a smile on his face. Ghost valleys had been very powerful for a few years, and they were now very terrifying. Li Chen tried his best to avoid conflict with them, so there was no provocation in his words.

"Great Clan Elder? You mean the old thief from the past? "Kaka!" The Ghost Valley Zi let out a strange laugh, his voice was indescribably terrifying and bizarre, "Ever since Sect Leader Duan died, there has been no one in the entire Sword Inquisition who is worthy of my notice! The old thief had been the accomplice of the tiger, and the entire Sword Inquisition Sect was getting worse with each passing day! Why should I go back? "

Li Chen cursed in his heart. This old thief had long since disregarded everyone and had no intention of returning to the Sword Seeking Sect. If such an expert were to continue living, it would bring disaster to the sect.

"The world is big. Even if I don't go back to the School of Sword Arts, with Elder Ghost's martial arts, where can I not go? Why do I have to stay in the Heavenly Radiance City?" Li Chen's words were filled with probing intent. Ghost valleys had stayed in Tianguang City for a year, and they had even caused such a chaos in the entire residence. There must be some unspeakable secrets.

Li Chen had thought that the Ghost Valley would beat around the bush with him. Who knew that the Ghost Valley would just glance at him indifferently, "This is the house of a disciple of my Asking Sword Sect, how can I not stay here?"

Li Chen didn't think that the Ghost Valley would say this. He was stunned for a moment before thinking, "How did the Ghost Valley know this was the Situ Family?" But even though he had doubts in his heart, Li Chen still smiled and said, "Ghost elder's words are wrong. This mansion is no longer Disciple Si's manor!" It's my Li family's territory! "Although we are from the same sect, to stay here without the permission of the master is very bad, no?"

As Li Chen spoke, he looked at Gui Gu Zi with a slightly cold gaze. Gui Gu Zi frowned and took a step forward: "What did you say? This is the Li Family's territory? "

Three years ago, when the small legend was about to take down the plaque, after thinking for a long time, Li Jun decided to call it 'Li Residence'. Li Jun looked at Gui Gu Zi with a strange expression as she said, "Don't you know that the Situ Clan has long since disappeared?"

"This place is …" Your territory? " Gui Gu's expression became complicated as he looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen was not clear on Ghost Valley's purpose, but he wanted to ask more clearly, so he smiled and said, "Going to someone else's house to ask such a question, Elder Gui is really getting older and older, don't tell me you think this place is your own home …"

It was as if Gui Gu didn't hear what Li Chen said. He looked at Li Chen and said, "So that thing isn't in the mansion, but in your hands?"

"What is the thing that Ghost Elder said?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows. He really had other intentions.

There was a complicated look in Ghost Valley's eyes as he slightly moved, but he did not speak. Instead, he slowly raised his hand as the spirit energy in his body surged and surged!

Li Chen stood there and felt a strong spiritual force wrap around him. He sneered. It seemed that the other party did not want to continue communicating with him. Instead, he wanted to examine his spiritual force! Thinking of this, Li Chen could not help but feel slightly angry. Did this guy really think he was still that weak rookie?

An intense light suddenly erupted from Li Chen's body. A little golden man flew out from between Li Chen's eyebrows. The moment that little gold man appeared, he tore apart the huge net formed by Ghost Valley's mental energy, blocking in front of Li Chen as if he was challenging him.

"You have some skill. I have underestimated you …" Gui Gu looked at Li Chen and said. His hand began to be covered by a large amount of black fog.

Li Chen's eyes widened as a powerful energy burst forth from his body. Immediately, his entire body started glowing with a golden light, as if he was a celestial being.

The black mist seemed to contain a powerful monster as it swept towards Li Chen with a terrifying force. Li Chen's fists shook as the golden power on his body exploded forth.

"Boom!"

The two forces collided with each other, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere, and even the walls on the side had collapsed a lot. At this moment, Gui Gu Zi and Li Chen were both among them, and the two of them were like old monks entering a meditative state.

When the fog dissipated, a huge crater with a diameter of ten meters formed around the two of them. There was nothing around them but two people standing there radiating fighting intent.

"Good boy!" I've underestimated you! " As he spoke, he stretched out a hand.

It was a hand as thin as a match. There was only a layer of skin and bones left on it. It looked extremely terrifying, as if it was an enlarged chicken claw.

The hand suddenly turned, and waves of black mist curled around it.

Li Chen's gaze turned serious as the Spiritual Energy in his body became stronger. It was not an explosive fighting intent coming out from Li Chen, but was forced out. Li Chen felt that when facing the Ghost Valley, his soul seemed to be on fire!

"Hu!"

Gui Gu's figure flashed and appeared beside Li Chen in the blink of an eye. His hand was about to pat Li Chen's shoulder.

Li Chen took a strange step and instantly dodged Ghost Valley's attack. At the same time, he clenched his fingers into a fist and punched the skinny hand.

A cold aura came from that hand. That cold aura was different from the old man's. It was a cold aura that could pierce through the soul.

Li Chen's eyes tightened as the power on his fist suddenly increased.

"Boom!" Like a battle between ice and fire, a huge explosion suddenly rang out.

Li Chen's body seemed to flash with sparks, while on the other side, Ghost Valley's surroundings were wrapped in layers of mist. His face was no longer clear, but Li Chen knew that Ghost Valley's eyes were definitely staring at him like a cheetah.

Li Chen's fists shook as a strong force swept towards Ghost Valley.

The power whistled past and arrived beside the Ghost Valley. Gui Gu Zi snorted and moved both of his fists. The black mist became denser and denser between his fingers until it finally formed a huge whirlpool.

"Boom!"

The moment the two came into contact, there was a loud sound of explosion. Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as a small golden man flashed across the sky like a bolt of lightning. Gui Gu Zi snorted coldly and the mist around his body turned into a black shadow.

Li Chen became increasingly serious. Just what cultivation technique did Ghost Valley cultivate? He had a guess in his heart.

Li Chen started to circulate the Life Transforming Incantation in his body. When the Life Transforming Incantation was activated, the black mist seemed to have touched something terrifying as it quickly dodged.

The black fog surrounding the ghost valley had dissipated, revealing an old face like a tree bark. He looked at Li Chen and his eyes, which were originally as still as a pool of dead water, suddenly lit up, "You really cultivated the Manifestation Art!"

The expression in his eyes was very complicated. There was a hint of understanding, and also a trace of helplessness. Many emotions were mixed within, causing Li Chen to feel very baffled.

In that instant, the Ghost Valley thought of many things. He thought of Duan Ao Zong, and without any surprises, that year, Duan Ao Zui lost to Li Chen, and this knowledge made him feel extremely unreconciled. Sect Leader Duan was the only person he thought was worth following, but he died at the hands of Li Chen, an unknown junior …
