Chapter 266: East Pole
Chen Qing thought back to how Luo Ziming had tested him after the Tianbao Tower's anomaly, and his mind immediately became crystal clear.
It seemed that not only were these True Disciples before him searching for that illusory ancestral inheritance, but the sect's upper echelon, even the Lineage Masters and Elder-level figures, had never given up exploring either.
At this thought, alarm bells rang loudly in Chen Qing's heart. He decided that going forward, he must be even more careful and cautious. Before his strength was sufficient for self-protection, he absolutely could not let the secret of the purple light leak even a fraction.
At this moment, Ji Yunliang steered the conversation away from the Grotto Heaven's anomaly and said to Nan Zhuoran, "Senior Brother Nan went out this time to eliminate the demon bandits and must have experienced many dangers. I heard that outside Soul Breaking Gorge, Senior Brother personally slew a long-established True Origin realm elder from the Limitless Demon Sect?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hands paused in their movements.
To slay a True Origin realm expert of the same level, especially a Demon Sect Elder, was no easy task.
This was not only a manifestation of strength, but also a major event that could shake an entire region.
Ji Yunliang's question was both flattering and tinged with a bit of probing into the depth of Nan Zhuoran's current strength.
Nan Zhuoran's expression remained unchanged, as if merely mentioning an insignificant trifle, "Brother Ji is well-informed. Indeed, this happened, though it was merely the eighth-ranked of the Demon Sect's ten great elders. This villain had entrenched himself at Soul Breaking Gorge for many years, harming passing merchants and sect affiliates with countless crimes. I was ordered to eliminate them, happened to encounter him, and conveniently cut him down."
