Chapter 340 Identity Exposed?
Then, Xu Nian and his three companions continued deeper into the tomb.
As they progressed, the aura of the Dragon Vein grew increasingly intense.
This made Xu Nian even more certain that they were on the right path.
The next few halls they encountered contained neither opportunities nor dangers.
This indicated that someone had already been here.
According to Xu Nian's guess, it was very likely the people from the Four Great Families.
"After passing the side hall ahead, we will reach the main hall. However, before entering the main hall, there is a challenge that must be overcome to gain entry," Zhao Yanyun's voice once again echoed in Xu Nian's mind.
Xu Nian felt a surge of joy.
This meant they had indeed chosen the correct route.
"Sister Hong, Elder, you go into the Star Tower first, I will go in alone," Xu Nian instructed the Elder and the others.
"Sect Master, isn't it too dangerous for you to go alone?" the Fourth Elder asked with some concern.
"Don't worry. With my current strength, how many people do you think can harm me? Besides, if necessary, I will call you out again," Xu Nian said with a smile.
The Fourth Elder was momentarily stunned.
Oh, that's right!
Even before their sect master had made a breakthrough, he was already able to kill those Nine-star War Kings.
Now that his cultivation had surged again, he naturally wouldn't face any danger.
Moreover, now that they followed Xu Nian, they wouldn't be of much use.
They might even hold Xu Nian back.
Rather than that, it would be safer for them to enter the Star Tower.
Seeing everyone nod, Xu Nian had Chen Wudi admit the four into the Star Tower.
Watching the four disappear, Xu Nian smiled faintly.
He looked in the direction of the side hall, turning into a fleeting shadow and heading there.
Soon Xu Nian arrived at the entrance of this side hall.
Inside, there stood quite a few people.
These people were indeed from the Four Great Families and the Seventh Imperial Prince, among others.
Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Xu Nian's face.
It was just as he had guessed.
The Four Great Families each had their means and had found this place.
Xu Nian took a glance around the crowd and finally saw the unscathed Xu Xin.
This immediately relieved him.
In his view, Xu Xin was far more important than the Dragon Vein.
Directly ahead in this side hall, there stood a Stone Gate.

This also gave them a sigh of relief.
If the Artifact Refining Sect really pledged allegiance to the Imperial Family, then the pressure on their Four Great Families would be tremendous.
Xia Zhenglei's face showed a flash of anger after hearing Xu Nian's words.
However, he quickly masked it.
"Since the Sect Master says so, then I was too presumptuous. However, if one day the Sect Master changes his mind, the doors of the Imperial Family will always be open to you," Xia Zhenglei laughed heartily.
Xu Nian responded with a smile.
He had already killed Imperial Prince Xia Zhengfeng, how could he possibly join the Imperial Family?
If the Seventh Prince knew his true identity, not chopping him into pieces would already be considered merciful.
"Ha ha, I am Leng Cangfeng. The behavior of Master Lin outside the tomb also impressed me. May I have the honor of becoming your friend?"
However, just as Xia Zhenglei finished speaking, a Nine-star Battle King Peak from the Leng Family approached Xu Nian with a smile.
The other three great families were also stunned.
Were the Leng Family really throwing out an olive branch at this time?
And they were even openly attempting to snatch someone from the Imperial Family?
Had they lost their minds?
Xu Nian was also startled.
Did this Leng Cangfeng not realize that befriending him now would provoke the dissatisfaction of the Imperial Family?
Xu Nian glanced towards Xia Zhenglei.
Sure enough, Xia Zhenglei was looking at Leng Cangfeng with displeasure.
However, Leng Cangfeng seemed completely unaware, smiling at Xu Nian.
But since Leng Cangfeng was intentionally trying to be friendly, Xu Nian was also quite happy to reciprocate.
After all, Leng Yanran was from the Leng Family.
So, he and the Leng Family also had some connections.
"I am Lin Long, and I'm very pleased to meet Brother Leng!" Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Lin Long? Ha ha, nice name!" Leng Cangfeng laughed loudly, his eyes filled with amusement as he looked at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian's brow involuntarily furrowed.
He felt that there was an implication in Leng Cangfeng's words.
However, just then, a voice rang out in Xu Nian's mind.
"Sect Master Xu Nian, your disguise technique is truly extraordinary; even I was almost deceived by you."
Xu Nian's body stiffened, and he quickly turned to look at Leng Cangfeng.
It was then that Xu Nian noticed Leng Cangfeng's continuous smiling gaze towards him.
Seeing this smile, Xu Nian immediately realized that Leng Cangfeng had recognized his true identity.
But he was somewhat puzzled as to how Leng Cangfeng had figured it out.
