Chapter 3147: Price
He let Qin Shaofeng deal with Lu Chen and the others.
If things truly blew up, Lu Chen and the others would surely be driven into rebellion. When that happened, without anyone capable of holding the fort, the Chasing Stars Sect would fall into chaos!
Or did Ximen Li simply have that much faith in Qin Shaofeng's abilities?
Thinking of this, Chen Xing grew even more curious.
Even if Qin Shaofeng had encountered some fortuitous opportunity at such a young age, allowing his cultivation to soar into the Fifth Grade Heavenly Venerate Realm, in Ximen Li's eyes, he should still have been no more than a young man worth nurturing.
Even with the prerequisite of possessing the Ghost Three Slashes martial skill, he should not have been elevated so highly.
As for friendship or a bond that transcended generations—
In his view, that was simply a joke.
For someone to become an existence like them, even if there truly was such a bond, it would be impossible for him to directly bestow the position of Vice Sect Master.
Wasn't Beitang Chen, with his Third Grade Saint Star Position cultivation, merely one of his thugs?
Perhaps Beitang Chen had no weak background, but it absolutely could not compare to the position of Vice Sect Master.
This was what should truly have been done.
Everything before his eyes was highly abnormal!
Or could it be—
That this Fifth Grade Heavenly Venerate Realm monster, not yet twenty years old, possessed some secret he did not know about?
At that thought, he could not help raising his cultivation.
He carefully examined Qin Shaofeng from head to toe and finally gained something.
It was an extremely vague feeling.
It was as though Qin Shaofeng carried an aura that even made him wary.
