Sacred Martial Divine Sovereign

With uneasiness in his heart, Ao Lingchen and the Sect Master returned to the Essence Sword Sect with their spiritual senses.    

The moment before they entered the sect, the Sect Master's spiritual senses returned to the Spirit Bead.    

It was as if he didn't want others to see his spiritual senses.    

After exchanging some pleasantries with the senior brother guarding the gate, Ao Lingchen also entered the sect.    

Without wasting any time, Ao Lingchen followed the sound transmission of the Sect Master and rushed towards the Essence Sword Sect's Sword Palace.    

A figure flew over in a hurry. Just as Ao Lingchen arrived in front of the Sword Palace, a figure appeared and blocked his path.    

"Junior Ao Lingchen greets the Great Elder."    

Ao Lingchen cupped his fists and looked at the person who blocked his path with a respectful expression.    

In front of him stood an old man. The old man was wearing a long robe that was gray and green, and a black robe was draped over his shoulder. His hair had turned white like the feathers of an immortal crane. Under his white hair was a wrinkled face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life. The wrinkles seemed to be the spokesperson of time, carving time on his face.    

The old man's eyes were small and turbid, but the moment Ao Lingchen's eyes met his, it gave him an incomparably sharp and sharp feeling.    

Looking at the pair of eyes in front of him, Ao Lingchen had a feeling that he was facing an endless abyss.    

Without the indestructible and sharp look in the Sect Master's eyes, Ao Lingchen still felt suffocated.    

This old man was the Great Elder of Essence Sword Sect, Meng Xuan. In the past, when he was in the Sealed Land of Essence Sword Sect, he would never leave the Sealed Land.    

If the Sect Master was the number one expert of the Essence Sword Sect, then this old man was the number two expert of the Essence Sword Sect.    

There were rumors that Elder Meng was the second Martial King of the Essence Sword Sect, and his combat strength was not weaker than the Sect Master. There were also rumors that he was still a step away from the Martial King.    

No matter which rumor it was, none of them expressed one thing, and that was that this old man was very strong.    

Ao Lingchen looked at the Great Elder who was in charge of the Sword Palace, and saw the gloomy look in his eyes. His mood also became solemn.    

Could it be that something has happened?    

"Ao Lingchen, I know you. What are you doing here?"    

Meng Xuan's tone remained indifferent, but it was obvious that he had eased up a little.    

He had heard about Ao Lingchen who had won the first place in Five Sects Competition.    

Ao Lingchen's success had made a great contribution to the sect, and Meng Xuan had a good impression of him.    

"Great Elder, I have something to discuss with you. I want to see the Sect Master."    

Ao Lingchen said respectfully.    

He could vaguely sense that the atmosphere was somewhat rude and unclear.    

It was as if something bad was about to happen.    

Meng Xuan shook his head. "The Sect Master is in seclusion. I won't see anyone."    

Although he knew that Ao Lingchen would not do anything to the Sect Master, he still could not let him pass.    

Seeing this, the expression in Ao Lingchen's eyes became even more serious.    

The uneasiness in his heart seemed to be real.    

Something bad really happened.    

Furthermore, this bad thing seemed to have happened to the Sect Master.    

What exactly was going on?    

The image of the Sect Master's spiritual consciousness dimming appeared in Ao Lingchen's mind, and an unbelievable thought emerged in his mind.    

Ao Lingchen's expression became more and more serious, and he looked at the Great Elder in front of him with a serious expression, "Great Elder, could it be the Sect Master?"    

Halfway through his words, he wanted to say something but stopped halfway. Ao Lingchen chose not to continue.    

Seeing that Ao Lingchen wanted to say something but hesitated, as if he had thought of something, Meng Xuan frowned and a cold light appeared in his eyes.    

This little fellow seemed to know something.    

The expedition to the Sealed Land had just ended, and all the kings had just come out from the Sealed Land. Only those who had entered the Sealed Land knew about the situation.    

He was the only one who knew about the incident with the Sect Master, so how did Ao Lingchen know about it?    

The more he thought about it, the colder Meng Xuan's heart became. A wave of killing intent quietly surged from the bottom of his heart.    

Just as Meng Xuan was about to attack...    

A hazy green light floated out and blocked between the two of them.    

"Old Meng, stop!"    

The moment the shadow appeared, Meng Xuan slowly lowered his raised hand.    

"Sect Master?"    

Meng Xuan looked at the shadow in front of him in surprise. He was also very surprised to see the shadow appear.    

Looking at the shadow with a dim light, Meng Xuan looked at Ao Lingchen with a deep meaning, as if he was thinking about something.    

"Ao Lingchen, give the Spirit Bead to Old Meng. I'll return to the Original Body."    

The shadow spoke in a serious tone. In the next second, it turned into a beam of light and shot towards the Sword Palace.    

With a flash of green light, it disappeared from the Sword Palace.    

"Sect Master!"    

Ao Lingchen looked at the disappearing shadow with a serious expression, and his heart was filled with worry.    

He didn't know what had happened, but when he saw the shadow of the Sect Master and the Great Elder's solemn expression, he understood one thing - the situation of the Sect Master wasn't too good.    

"Little guy, it seems like you are highly regarded by the Sect Master. He actually gave you a portion of his spiritual sense to protect you."    

Meng Xuan was very surprised. A king's spiritual sense wasn't something that could be easily divided, because it would more or less affect the Original Body.    

Especially when the spiritual sense was destroyed, it would also affect the Original Body.    

"Thank you, Sect Master, for taking care of me. This disciple is very grateful." Ao Lingchen respectfully replied. He paused for a moment and looked at the old man in front of him with a serious expression. "Great Elder, could it be that the Sect Master was injured while eradicating the devils in Sealed Land?"    

Judging from the changes in the Sect Master's spiritual sense and the Great Elder's posture of guarding the Sword Formation, this seemed to be the only possibility.    

Meng Xuan was silent. He quietly looked at Ao Lingchen as if he was thinking about something.    

A few dozen seconds later, Meng Xuan said, "Your guess is correct. This time, something unexpected happened during the exorcism. The gap in the Sealed Land of Essence Sword Sect was beyond imagination. The devil that escaped from the seal was extraordinarily powerful. It was the same as three Devil Kings who had transcended their heavenly tribulation. The Sect Master was used to kill the devil. In the end, they were seriously injured."    

The Sect Master was able to give Ao Lingchen his spiritual sense to save his life, and it was obvious that it attached great importance to him. Also, when he was together with the Sect Master's spiritual sense, it was obvious that he knew about some unforeseen events. Thinking of this, Meng Xuan finally decided to give Ao Lingchen a simple explanation.    

He even told Ao Lingchen about the news of the powerhouses leaving.    

Unknowingly, Ao Lingchen had already been recognized by the experts of Essence Sword Sect.    

Listening to the Great Elder's words, Ao Lingchen's expression became heavier and heavier. He said worriedly, "Great Elder, is the Sect Master alright?"    

Meng Xuan indicated for Ao Lingchen to be at ease, "Don't worry. The Sect Master is stronger than you can imagine. He will recover very soon."    

"Alright, give me the Spirit Bead. You can go back now."    

Meng Xuan immediately ordered Ao Lingchen to leave.    

"Yes!"    

Ao Lingchen didn't ask any more questions. He handed the Spirit Bead to the Great Elder and turned around to leave.    

This matter was related to the Sect Master, and Ao Lingchen had no way to help him.    

So, not adding to the chaos was the best help.    

Looking at the departing figure, Meng Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction, "The aura is vigorous, and you are polite in your words. Your character should be pretty good."    

After saying that, Meng Xuan turned around and looked at the Sword Palace, "Do you attach so much importance to him? Divide your Spiritual Sense to protect him."    

"I hope all of this is worth it."    

Meng Xuan muttered to himself, then disappeared from where he stood.    

The surroundings returned to silence.    

In a mountain forest not far from the Sword Palace, a figure was looking at the Sword Palace from afar. He was looking at Ao Lingchen, who was leaving the Sword Palace. A fierce look flashed across his eyes.    

"Ao Lingchen, you are finished."
