"How is that possible?!" In an instant, the Wuxiang Sect Leader was greatly shocked.
After all, he was in the Innate Realm. Even when facing Martial Arts Grandmasters or Mortal Realm Grandmasters, he had never encountered such a situation.
"You must be the Sect Leader of the Wuxiang Sect."
The Wuxiang Sect Leader had just regained his senses and hadn’t had time to speak before the young man opposite him spoke first.
His tone was indifferent, and the gaze he turned to him was calm and unruffled, without joy or sorrow. Yet in the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s heart, the pressure suddenly increased!
It was as if he were facing a figure he may never even touch the foot of their mountain in his lifetime.
"Yes... it’s me, haha, you must be Nephew Jiang’s dao companion. Certainly a remarkable talent." After a moment, the Wuxiang Sect Leader spoke, trying to relax his expression somewhat.
However, even a Sect Leader speaking with slight stammering already proved he was extremely nervous.
Lu Ye didn’t pay attention to these details, looked at the Wuxiang Sect Leader, and said, "I acted in the previous incident, but due to many eyes watching, I didn’t reveal myself, I hope you won’t mind, Sect Leader."
Upon hearing this, the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s heart skipped a beat.
It was him who acted secretly, who disabled the Grandmaster Fifth Layer Zhou Family Ancestor?!
Hiss...
This person doesn’t look very old!
How does he have such terrifying strength? Could he be a Grandmaster? Currently at Grandmaster Late Stage?
"So it was you, thank you, thank you, for preventing an incident with our sect’s genius." Suppressing his astonishment, the Wuxiang Sect Leader quickly bowed respectfully.
If it weren’t for this mysterious person hanging the Zhou Family Ancestor and others out to dry, his Wuxiang Sect’s genius would indeed be in danger.
"By the way, may I ask Fellow Daoist’s honorable name?" Pausing, the Wuxiang Sect Leader continued.
"My name is Lu Ye..."
When Lu Ye said this name, the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s mind quickly ran, but after a moment, he realized...
There seemed to be no significant impression of this name.
Nevertheless, the Wuxiang Sect Leader still spoke courteously, "Ah, it’s Fellow Daoist Lu, I’ve heard so much about you."
Beside him, Jiang Lingyue slightly pursed her lips, thinking the Sect Leader really spoke false words without batting an eye, her brother-in-law’s real name he should have barely heard more than twice truly.
What nonsense!
Lu Ye naturally understood this, but didn’t mind, still calmly saying, "I have another name, they all call me... Chen Beixuan."
Having just heard this, the Wuxiang Sect Leader initially wanted to speak nice words.
But upon hearing it clearly, he suddenly froze in place...
"You... what did you say?!"
The Wuxiang Sect Leader’s body trembled violently, momentarily suspecting he had heard wrong.
Chen... Chen Beixuan?!
If Lu Ye’s previous name, hearing it was out of courtesy, but this name now...
Anyone who claims not to know it would be problematic.
Not only in the Northern Territory, even throughout Xuanzhou and the entire continent, Chen Beixuan has already become an absolute celebrity.
In the Northern Territory, even more so, for even an illiterate farmer might not know the current names of the Three Great Sects’ leaders.
But he would definitely recognize Chen Beixuan!
"You... You are Chen Beixuan?!"
Though instinctively feeling this person seemed somewhat unlikely, the Wuxiang Sect Leader dared not conclude rashly and asked cautiously.
"Surely you should have seen through something like a Memory Stone, right." Lu Ye said softly.
Upon hearing this, the Wuxiang Sect Leader hurriedly nodded, now like a fledgling cultivator, not daring even to breathe heavily.
After all, this name alone... is pressure enough.
"Seen... seen him, I’ve watched several Memory Stones concerning Senior Beixuan."
Beside him, Jiang Lingyue silently laughed seeing her Sect Leader being so cautious.
Suddenly, the Wuxiang Sect Leader discovered that the young man’s appearance suddenly changed.
And the changed appearance instantly shocked the Wuxiang Sect Leader.
"So it is?!"
As he had seen Chen Beixuan several times in the Memory Stone, the Wuxiang Sect Leader now recognized at a glance.
The person in front, both in stature and appearance, was identical to those in the Memory Stone!
Yes, it can’t be wrong, in the Northern Territory, no one would dare to imitate him.
"I greet Senior Beixuan!"
In an instant, the Wuxiang Sect Leader lowered his head in a bow.
"Do not disclose this matter publicly, I do not wish for my identity to bring trouble to Lingyue, understand?" Lu Ye said softly.
"Understand, understand, I will definitely keep it a secret, not revealing a single word." Upon hearing, the Wuxiang Sect Leader nodded repeatedly.
Such matters, if Senior Beixuan said not to announce, he certainly wouldn’t speak of them.
Otherwise, that matter, known only to heaven, earth, and himself, would quickly reach him.
After speaking, the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s shock had yet to dissipate.
He never thought that the disciple in his sect adept in the Alchemy Dao would also have an identity overshadowing her talent in alchemy.
Chen Beixuan’s dao companion!
At this moment, the Wuxiang Sect Leader suddenly understood why Jiang Lingyue disregarded all those suitors.
If it were him, he would also disregard them!
Who... or which young genius can compare to the current Chen Beixuan?
Compared to this figure, even the most brilliant genius before would seem dim and overshadowed.
"Also, such incidents like this must never occur again. If anything happens to people in your Wuxiang Sect, I will take responsibility for them."
Suddenly, Lu Ye’s aura intensified sharply.
The Wuxiang Sect Leader suddenly felt like a mere ant.
Around Senior Beixuan, it seemed as if countless stars emerged, elevating him to a sacredness, making him unviewable.
With a racing heartbeat, the Wuxiang Sect Leader immediately promised.
"The sect is already sincerely working to weed out undercover agents, striving to prevent such happenings, and I will also request an ancestor to protect Nephew Jiang!"
Regarding this matter of cleansing embedded spies, the Wuxiang Sect Leader still dared not speak absolutely, only promising to try his best.
After all, some spies indeed hide deeply, never exposing themselves over years.
Hearing this, Lu Ye nodded faintly.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye directly took out a blank Array Plate.
Then he traced a Sword Qi into it using his finger as a sword.
The moment this Sword Qi appeared, the Wuxiang Sect Leader’s pupils shrank intensely.
If there had been any slightest doubt before, now the Wuxiang Sect Leader completely believed.
This fierce Sword Qi bore extraordinary resemblance to the grand Sword Momentum in the Memory Stone, impossible to fake.
