Chapter 2484: Chapter 2485: Seeking Help

Zhou Lie glanced at the letter, then tossed it aside without giving a definite answer.

The disciple standing nearby watched his Sect Leader’s actions, feeling curious inside, unsure of what they were truly planning.

"Sect Leader, what are you doing?"

"You personally send the message that it’s not impossible for me to help Tianshan Sect, but the two old immortals must come themselves, and you must tell them that I know nothing about this matter."

This made the young boy standing nearby feel even more confused, not understanding why the other party would say such a thing.

Clearly, we had just read the contents of that letter thoroughly, so why lie in front of others? But since it was the Sect Leader’s request, he had no right to interfere.

"Alright, rest assured Sect Leader, I will instruct them to come personally and ask for help."

The main reason Zhou Lie wanted to do this was simple; he had suffered humiliation from others in the past, and now he had to show an arrogant attitude in front of others.

Sometimes, behaving arrogantly in front of others not only avoids resentment but also instills fear and respect in them, a lesson Zhou Lie had learned over the years.

Upon receiving his reply, the two Tianshan elders felt somewhat offended but did not become angry, for they both understood that the other party indeed possessed such capital for pride.

"Do we really have to go to someone else’s place and ask for help this time?"

It was clear that the yellow-robed Tianshan elder was still holding on to his pride, so he spoke these words as he faced the red-robed Tianshan elder.

The red-robed Tianshan elder nodded calmly in response, implying that, apart from this approach, there might be no other solution.

"Besides that guy, who else can handle him now? Let’s go."

Zhou Lie, now a figure to lead among the younger generation, could be considered an outstanding talent, holding a leadership position, with exceptional martial skills.

Even the legendary beasts were disadvantaged in a duel against him, so his fame skyrocketed, and many believed the young man before them could rival ancient masters.

Upon learning the news, Zhou Lie felt a mix of curiosity and pride; whether Lin Chen lived or died before, now he would fall into his grasp.

The remaining two Tianshan elders came seeking help, knowing that now only Zhou Lie could assist them; if he lacked the skill and ability, it would be difficult for anyone to compete with Lin Chen.

Zhou Lie watched the two Tianshan men in front of him displaying an air of superiority, yet the Tianshan elders were respectful and showed no discontent.

Both Tianshan elders knew well the extent of the young man’s powerful abilities; apart from his help, there was no one else they could turn to.

"You two, what is your business with me today?" Zhou Lie, fully aware of the ins and outs, still feigned ignorance to maintain his dominant position.

The two elders exchanged glances, and after a while, the red-robed Tianshan elder stood up, looking at the lofty Zhou Lie.

"We’ve come to you this time with an important matter, hoping you’ll assist us, the two old immortals."

The red-robed Tianshan elder deliberately lowered his position while speaking, knowing it was beneficial; if he still appeared arrogantly as a Grandmaster, no one would help him.

"Oh, the two skilled Tianshan elders seek help from a junior like me; aren’t you afraid of ridicule?"

The two Tianshan elders’ expressions changed at those words, feeling slightly embarrassed. The statement held truth, in terms of reputation, Zhou Lie couldn’t match the two Tianshan elders.

This wasn’t because of any significant discrepancy between them, but mainly because the Tianshan elders had been renowned for a long time, whereas this young man’s situation was different.

Having only risen in fame in the recent years, few on the continent knew of his existence, hence the scenario.

"Young friend, please don’t say that, such words truly cancel us out; your skills now are so exceptional that few of your generation can compare to you."

Facing the praise from the elder, Zhou Lie accepted it wholeheartedly, knowing his abilities were undeniably outstanding, unmatched across the continent.

Thus, victory was ultimately a reasonable outcome.

"The two seniors have come today not just to flatter me, right?"

The two elders’ expressions changed, revealing some embarrassment as they realized they hadn’t mentioned the important matter despite being there for quite a while.

"We came to see you this time hoping you’d help us avenge our humiliation."

Zhou Lie stood up slowly, looking at the two Tianshan elders on the ground, then spoke leisurely: "Tell me, who do you want me to deal with?"

The two elders felt thrilled upon hearing Zhou Lie’s words, indicating the possibility, and suddenly stood up, exchanging glances.

"It’s like this; this guy killed our two Tianshan elders last year, both elder brother and second brother died at his hands. His name is Lin Chen."

Zhou Lie wasn’t surprised by the name as he was already fully aware of the situation’s ins and outs, but the other disciples in the main hall were all extremely shocked upon hearing it.

No one expected that young man to still be alive; they all thought falling into the abyss meant certain death.

"Didn’t expect he’s still alive, it seems I must personally kill him."

These words sparked curiosity and surprise among those around him, wondering what they meant.
