Chapter 142

Once Wei Chizhong left, he didn't return even when it was dark.

Gu Chen stayed in his room and did not step out at all. He was silently meditating and cultivating.

He would meet the sect masters from the 81 sects of White Whale Prefecture at the Whale Alliance Conference tomorrow. He had to conserve his energy and be prepared.

As the night grew darker, Yu Chizhong still did not return. Gu Chen felt that something was wrong.

With Yu Chizhong's speed, why would it take him so long to investigate the situation?

Could it be that something had happened?

As he was thinking, he heard footsteps outside the Qingfeng House.

Gu Chen frowned. He pushed open the door and walked out.

The people were from White Crane Sect. The leader was a middle-aged man with a wooden crown on his head, wearing a Taoist robe and a mustache.

"Are you Sect Master Chen from Heavenly Star Sect?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Gu Chen coldly and said without much respect.

"Yes, I am. Who are you? Why are you here at such a late hour? "

Gu Chen asked calmly.

"I am Xu Kun, the Law Enforcement Elder of White Crane Sect. Sect Master Chen, your subordinate injured Elder Qiu of White Crane Sect. His behavior is extremely bad. My sect master asked me to invite you over to discuss how to deal with this matter. "

Xu Kun reported his identity. Gu Chen could not help but narrow his eyes when he heard that.

Yu Chizhong injured someone?

Interesting.

"Lead the way." He only said these two words.

Xu Kun was slightly surprised. He thought the other party would ask about the details of the matter. He did not expect the other party to be so straightforward.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

He sneered in his heart and led the way personally.

The group left the Qingfeng House and soon arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall of White Crane Sect.

As soon as they arrived, Gu Chen realized that many cultivators had gathered here.

He scanned the hall with his divine sense and found that there were no less than 75 Nirvana Realm cultivators in the Law Enforcement Hall. Many of them were probably sect masters.

At this moment, Yuchi Zhong, whose hair and beard were all white, was holding a battle spear. His back was straight like a pine tree as he glared at the people in the hall.

When Gu Chen saw him, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief when he found that he was not injured.

He glanced over and saw that Elder Qiu, who he had met during the day, wasn't as lucky as Yu Chizhong.

His head was bleeding, and his clothes were dyed red with blood. It seemed that his injuries were not light.

"Sect Master, Heavenly Star Sect's Sect Master Chen is here."

Xu Kun stepped forward and reported.

Lu Xianyun, the lord of the White Crane Sect, was sitting in the hall with a gloomy expression. When he saw Gu Chen, he did not stand up to welcome him.

"Faction Leader Chen, you have come to the White Crane Sect as guests, but your people have openly injured our White Crane Sect's Elder. Please give me an explanation."

His tone was cold and hard. Hearing this, many of the cultivators in the Law Enforcement Hall revealed gloating looks.

Gu Chen was expressionless and his tone was calm.

"Everything happened so suddenly. Please give me some time to figure out what's going on, Sect Leader Lu."

Lu Xianyun immediately stopped talking. Gu Chen walked towards Yu Chizhong.

"Old Zhong, what's going on?"

Gu Chen asked. Hearing this, Yu Chizhong's angry face froze.

The Sect Master had never called him that before. He quickly understood that the Sect Master was going to support him, so he could not say it directly.

For a moment, some of the concerns in his heart disappeared completely.

"Sect Master, don't listen to their nonsense. It's that Qiu guy who wants to provoke me!"

Yu Chizhong was filled with righteous indignation. He approached Gu Chen and told him what had happened in detail.

It turned out that when he went out to investigate during the day, he walked around and found that among the 81 sects in Baijing Mansion, except for his Heavenly Star Sect, which was arranged to stay in the desolate and shabby Qingfeng House, all the other sects lived in the luxurious Fragrant Pavilion.

How could he tolerate such blatant contempt?

He did not care about it, but Gu Chen was the Sect Master and the face of the Heavenly Star Sect. He could not allow himself to be slighted like this!

Therefore, he went to find Elder Qiu and wanted to ask him to change Gu Chen's residence. However, he did not expect to find Elder Qiu.

The other party deliberately avoided him, and he only found him when it was dark.

What the White Crane Sect did at that time made him even more furious and embarrassed.

"Sect Master, the 81 sects stayed on White Crane Island today. The Sect Master of the White Crane Sect, Lu Xianyun, visited all the Sect Masters of the major sects, except for you. When the Old Man found Elder Qiu, he asked him to change our residence, but he mocked and ridiculed us. "

"He said that there were no other places to stay on the island, and we came late, so he made us stay in the Qingfeng House. But the Old Man clearly saw that the people from the White Bone Sect came later than us, but they took us to the Fragrant Pavilion respectfully! "

"That's intolerable. That guy is too much!"

Yu Chizhong said, his old face turning red.

"So, you attacked him?"

Gu Chen understood everything, and there was a faint smile on his face.

"The one with the surname Qiu wanted to teach the Old Man a lesson first. Hmph, but he didn't expect the Old Man's cultivation to be no weaker than his. With a swing of his spear, he was beaten to a pulp!"

Yu Chizhong was being frank, and he deliberately raised his voice towards the end.

When Elder Qiu heard this, he was so angry that his whole body was trembling.

"Sect Master Lu, I understand everything that happened."

After asking his questions, Gu Chen paced slowly in the Enforcement Hall, his gaze sweeping across the onlookers.

When he noticed a few familiar people in dark red robes with blood-colored marks on their foreheads in the corner, his gaze turned much colder.

He was too naive.

Before he left, Yu Chizhong had told him that the Whale Alliance meetings were always filled with scheming, and that if he showed the slightest bit of weakness, he would be eaten alive.

He remembered this reminder, but his attention was on the meeting tomorrow. He did not expect that the treacherous contest would begin today.

From Yu Chizhong's investigation, the White Crane Sect was clearly making things difficult for them on purpose, and even humiliating them.

They had no enmity with him in the past, so why would they do this?

Gu Chen could only think that he was instigated by someone, and that there was an exchange of benefits.

And in the entire Whale Alliance, who had enmity with them?

Therefore, when he saw that there were people from the Blood Refinement Sect in the Enforcement Hall, Gu Chen understood everything.

What a wicked heart!

Purposely suppressing and neglecting him would imperceptibly lower the status of the Heavenly Star Sect, causing it to be looked down upon by the other sects.

Then, he would infuriate Old Zhong and use him to drag him, the Sect Master, out for trial!

This was obviously premeditated. Even if Yu Chizhong did not make the first move tonight, they would have used other excuses to provoke the Heavenly Star Sect.

Furthermore, Yu Chizhong had just broken through to the Nirvana Stage, so the enemy did not know about it. If not for his great increase in strength, he would have been the one to suffer a great loss tonight …

Thinking of this, Gu Chen's eyes turned cold.

"Sect Master Chen, since you know what happened, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

"My White Crane Sect treats you with respect, but your subordinates used barbaric methods to injure my sect's elders. If this matter is not properly resolved, how can I explain it to the disciples of the sect? How can the White Crane Sect gain a foothold in the Whale Alliance?

"Lu Xianyun was finally willing to stand up from his seat. Standing on the moral high ground, he said righteously!
