The Five Elements Palace Master landed in Luo Hong's courtyard. Immediately after, there were countless sounds of breaking through the air. Some elders of the Five Elements Palace also rushed over.
"What's going on?" an elder asked.
Everyone's gaze was focused on Luo Hong.
After discovering that Luo Hong was fine, they all heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as Luo Hong was about to speak, Fang Chen's figure appeared from the void. He was holding the Hidden Star Sword in his hand. He was in a sorry state, and there were some bloodstains on his palm.
"Yes."
Fang Chen's sudden appearance surprised the Five Elements Palace Master. His deep eyes stared at Fang Chen.
The Five Elements Palace Master was an expert. He could tell at a glance that Fang Chen was extraordinary.
"Space-type True Intent!"
The Five Elements Palace Master said in surprise.
At this moment, the elders who came later immediately shouted, "Brat, how dare you assassinate Luo Hong!"
However, before they could finish speaking, the Five Elements Palace Master waved his hand to stop them.
He was the first to arrive, so he naturally knew what had happened. The murderer was not Fang Chen.
"The murderer is someone else," the Five Elements Palace Master said.
The Five Elements Palace Master's words were very authoritative. Hearing this, the elders did not say anything else.
"Luo Hong, what happened?" The Five Elements Palace Master's gaze moved away from Fang Chen and looked at Luo Hong.
Luo Hong's body was in a sorry state. He gently patted the dust off his clothes and said, "Palace Master, someone wanted to assassinate me. Fortunately, Brother Fang helped to block it. Otherwise, I would have been dead."
Luo Hong was not exaggerating. The murderer was too strong. Although he had not reached the Mysterious King Realm, he was considered a top expert in the True Martial Realm.
With just one blow, he sent Luo Hong flying.
Luo Hong's cultivation was at Lv 6 True Martial Realm.
Even if he faced a Lv 7 True Martial Realm martial artist, Luo Hong could still fight.
However, this person sent Luo Hong flying in one blow. It was enough to show how strong he was.
"How is this possible?"
When the elders heard this, they could not believe their ears.
In their opinion, Fang Chen was not as strong as Luo Hong. How could he help Luo Hong block the murderer?
However, the Five Elements Palace Master believed him.
This was because he had discovered Fang Chen's space-related True Meaning.
"If my guess is correct, this young friend should possess a space-type True Meaning." The Five Elements Palace Master narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fang Chen.
"Yes," Fang Chen said.
When the elders heard this, they suddenly understood and looked at Fang Chen apologetically.
Space-related True Intents were the most elusive True Intents.
Moreover, it was the best True Intent for escaping.
This young man possessed a space-related True Intent. Helping Luo Hong obstruct the murderer wouldn't be a problem at all.
"This time, it's all thanks to Brother Fang," Luo Hong said slowly.
"Alright, the culprit has left. You should rest early too." The Five Elements Palace Master nodded and left with a few elders.
Walking out of Luo Hong's courtyard, several Elders asked, "Palace master, you were the first to arrive. Do you know who the murderer is?"
"To be able to escape under my nose without a trace, who else in the True Martial Realm besides the Dark Shadow Venerable?" The Five Elements Palace Master said.
When the elders heard this, they looked at each other in dismay.
At this moment, in the courtyard, Luo Hong cupped his hands and thanked Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, I really didn't expect you to possess a space-related True Meaning." Luo Hong grinned.
Fang Chen smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
The Five Elements Palace Master only thought that he possessed an ordinary space-related True Meaning, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.
After all, although space-related True Meanings were very unique, there were many types.
Only a transcendent-grade True Meaning could attract the attention of a Mystic King Realm expert.
Of course, Fang Chen wouldn't expose his True Meaning of the Void.
The next day, at noon, a piece of news suddenly spread throughout the Five Elements Palace's headquarters.
The Five Elements Palace and the Divine Destruction Temple had reached an agreement. In the end, the Five Elements Palace compromised and obtained seven of the twenty spots, while the Divine Destruction Temple monopolized the remaining thirteen spots.
Many of the Five Elements Palace's martial artists were discussing this matter.
Of course, some of the powerful younger generation were eager to give it a try and prepare to fight for these seven spots.
"Senior Brother Luo Yong, our Five Elements Palace obtained a total of seven spots. You'll definitely be able to occupy one of them." Luo Jian grinned.
Luo Yong nodded indifferently.
With his strength, obtaining a spot was simply like playing a game.
"But …" Luo Jian was a little hesitant.
"You want me to help you fight for a spot?" Luo Yong asked.
"Senior Brother Luo Yong, if you can help me fight for a spot, I'm willing to do anything for you." Luo Jian's face was full of anxiety.
"It's not impossible to help you fight for a spot," Luo Yong said slowly.
"Do you need me to do anything?" Luo Jian asked joyfully.
Luo Yong leaned close to Luo Jian's ear and said a few words.
Luo Jian nodded heavily and said, "Senior Brother Luo Yong, don't worry. I'll definitely help you."
For the entire afternoon, many of the Five Elements Palace's disciples were discussing who the seven spots would belong to.
Of course, many cultivators wanted to obtain a spot.
After all, it was said that there were some treasures within the ruins that made people drool. This was an opportunity.
At a certain moment, Luo Hong found Fang Chen.
Luo Hong's face was filled with an excited smile.
"Brother Luo Hong, what's the good news?" asked Fang Chen.
"The good news is related to you." Luo Hong smiled.
"Oh, what is it?" Fang Chen was a little surprised.
"Brother Fang, you should know that my Five Elements Palace obtained seven spots, right?" asked Luo Hong.
Fang Chen nodded, indicating that he knew.
Then Luo Hong continued, "Just now, the Palace Master summoned me and told me that he'll give you a spot to enter the secret realm with us."
"What?"
Fang Chen was a little stunned when he heard this.
To tell the truth, Fang Chen had once been curious about the secret realm.
But later, he had directly cut off that thought. The two Sect's only had twenty spots.
The Five Elements Palace only had seven spots. How could they be willing to waste a spot for him?
However, after hearing Luo Hong's words, Fang Chen's heart trembled.
"The Palace Master is willing to give me a spot?" asked Fang Chen.
Luo Hong nodded. "That's right. I don't know the exact reason, but Palace Master Fang Chen said that he'll give you a spot."
Hearing this, Fang Chen grinned.
At the same time, Luo Jian was anxiously waiting in Luo Yong's courtyard.
At this time, Luo Yong returned.
"Senior apprentice-brother Luo Yong, how is it?" asked Luo Jian urgently.
Luo Yong nodded. "I've already helped you get a spot, but …"
"But what?" Luo Jian was wild with joy, but he didn't understand why Luo Yong had such an expression.
"The Palace Master actually gave a spot to that unfamiliar man that Luo Hong brought back," said Luo Yong.
"What outsider? He actually wants to occupy a spot in my Five Element Palace." Hearing that, the fury in Luo Jian's chest was released and he immediately shouted loudly.
"That's the Palace Master's decision," said Luo Yong.
"Hmph, I knew that this person didn't have good intentions when he entered my Five Elements Palace. But Luo Hong has always been protecting him." Luo Jian was furious and immediately left Luo Yong's courtyard.
Not long after, Luo Jian gathered many cultivators who hadn't obtained a spot and arrived in front of Fang Chen's courtyard.
"Fang, get the hell out here!" shouted someone.
"Fang, come out and face your death!"
"Fang Chen, you bastard, what right do you have to take our spots?"
Outside the courtyard, many cultivators were furiously roaring.
Originally, they were already unhappy that they hadn't obtained a spot.
But when they heard that an outsider had obtained a precious spot, they immediately became furious and came looking for trouble.
Fang Chen, who was chatting with Luo Hong in the courtyard, suddenly heard some cursing and frowned.
"I'll go out and take care of it," said Luo Hong.
"I'll also go with you," said Fang Chen.
The door creaked open and Fang Chen walked out with Luo Hong.
"Everyone, it was the Palace Master's decision that Brother Fang obtained a spot. You can all return," said Luo Hong directly.
"Why?! If you don't give us a satisfactory answer, we won't leave!" roared someone from the crowd.
"That's right. An outsider can obtain a spot, but we Five Elements Palace disciples can't."
