Chapter 817: Chapter 817: The Wicked Accuse First

"How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"

At this moment, one of the bound individuals spoke to Lu Chen. However, the tone was rather unpleasant.

Lu Chen turned his head, only to see that this man had a middle-aged appearance, and was dressed in azure Path-protecting Clothes, which didn’t seem like ordinary fabric.

He must have been a person of high position and authority in the former Mortal Realm.

"Lu Chen."

Lu Chen casually replied, showing no interest in befriending the man.

"Fellow Daoist, isn’t this a bit impersonal? All three of us have come to the Spirit World, and in such dire straits, we should be joining forces!"

Another person by his side was somewhat dissatisfied with Lu Chen’s cold demeanor.

"Join forces? How so?"

Lu Chen sneered, "We are in trouble, unable to even protect ourselves; how can we join forces? We can’t even break these ropes; we are all but fish on the chopping block!"

"A person like you, I really don’t know how you managed to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage," said the Nascent Soul in azure clothes. "The Martial Spirit Sect is making us mine; they will naturally release us when the time comes! We agree beforehand and then take the opportunity to strike; what’s wrong with that?"

A Nascent Soul can teleport, an innate Divine Skill gained after the breakthrough, able to come and go without a trace. If one delves deeper into this skill, they can teleport even further.

"Do you think a sect from the Spirit World would let us escape easily?"

Lu Chen scoffed with disdain and then walked straight to the side of the Flying Boat, slowly seating himself against it.

"It seems you’ve accepted your fate," said the other person. "No wonder, you’re only at the mid-Nascent Soul Stage, your power truly does not qualify you to associate with us."

Lu Chen no longer responded, knowing more words would be meaningless.

From the beginning, these two people never had the intention to cooperate sincerely; their tone of speaking was condescending.

There was no point in cooperating.

Besides...

Why would I need to join forces with you?

Lu Chen closed his eyes, considering it out of sight, out of mind.

After a short while, the steward Xu also brought back another person, tying him onto the Flying Boat, and after giving several instructions, he said to the group, "One more, and we can set off!"

After finishing talking, the steward left, and the azure-clothed Nascent Soul then addressed the newly arrived Nascent Soul, "How should I address you, fellow Daoist?"

...

A stick of incense later, five people had gathered, and only then did Lu Chen open his eyes.

The entire Flying Boat was as swift as an arrow, far quicker than the speed of their Nascent Soul flying, a testament to the prowess of Spirit World cultivators!

Considering this, Lu Chen thought about the dominance of the Hatetian Clan fighting against countless clans under such conditions.

"But perhaps this is also the reason behind the decline of the Hatetian Clan?" he sighed inwardly.

The Flying Boat swiftly ascended to the sky, and Lu Chen had already stood up, no longer appearing listless.

Looking around, there were only dense clouds below.

"From today on, you are miners of the Spirit Martial Sect."

Steward Xu clapped his hands, drawing the attention of the five Nascent Souls, and then he began to speak.

"Let me introduce myself. My surname is Xu, which is already clear to you, but I didn’t have the chance to mention my given name."

"My name is Xu Wuwen, a man who prefers martial endeavors before scholarly ones!"

"It’s like binding you with this Magic Artifact first, and then speaking reason to you slowly!"

A subtle threat could be perceived as his gaze swept across.

"Furthermore, steward Xu... is at the late stage of Divinity Transformation! Should any of you harbor thoughts of escaping from this Flying Boat, steward Xu will make you understand why he is named as he is!"

As his words fell, the spiritual ropes around the five Nascent Souls were suddenly undone.

It was then that the azure-clothed Nascent Soul suddenly exclaimed, "Steward Xu, this youngster called Lu Chen had tried to convince us to attack you earlier!"

With that statement, the gaze of the last Nascent Soul to arrive, along with steward Xu’s, fiercely swept over!

"Lu Chen? Good name," steward Xu said indifferently as a terrifying pressure swept over them. Lu Chen was greatly alarmed within!

He hadn’t expected the azure-clothed Nascent Soul to cause trouble on the Flying Boat already!
