Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Return

Lin Chen’s gaze swept over everyone and finally settled on the Heavenly Prides of their Formation Sect.

Compared to other Sects, the casualties their Formation Sect suffered were not severe, with only two dead, one of whom was Xiang Hao, who had a feud with Lin Chen.

Lin Chen was expressionless, his heart undisturbed, neither pleased nor saddened.

Although Xiang Hao had some conflicts with Lin Chen, Lin Chen did not wish for his death, as Xiang Hao’s strength would still have been helpful when facing the Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race.

However, now that Xiang Hao was dead, there was nothing more to say.

Lin Chen turned to look at Wu Chao, feeling somewhat surprised inside; he didn’t expect Wu Chao to have also survived.

After all, among the ten people who entered the Secret Realm, the one Lin Chen was most worried about was Wu Chao, because his Cultivation was the lowest.

However, Wu Chao, although not highly Cultivated, had many life-saving methods.

Originally, Lin Chen thought Wu Chao was most likely to meet with mishap in the Secret Realm, but surprisingly, not only did he survive, his Cultivation also improved significantly, reaching the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Human Realm, just one step away from stepping into the Half-Step Nirvana Realm.

Of course, Yan Ruyu and Jiang Jiayun might also have died at the hands of the Giant Race, but luckily they were saved by the Sky Howling Demon Wolf, which could be considered a stroke of great luck.

In this Secret Realm, the Heavenly Prides from the outside world were almost nothing; their Cultivation seemed very insignificant.

Aside from Wu Chao, Lin Chen also discovered that Chang Bai’s Cultivation had improved, reaching the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.

It seemed that Chang Bai also had encountered many opportunities in the Secret Realm.

Beside, the Heavenly Prides from various factions had all seen improvements in their Cultivation, showing just how abundant the opportunities in the Secret Realm were.

Although this time there were many casualties among the various factions, for each Sect, the benefits outweighed the losses, because even the Heavenly Prides could encounter misfortune elsewhere, not just in the Secret Realm.

It’s just that this time, the Heavenly Prides of each Sect used up many magic treasures to survive, appearing extremely battered and exhausted.

For example, Deng Yue and the other two ladies, if not for encountering Lin Chen, they would have already died at the hands of the Magical Beasts.

Before long, the Teleportation Gate opened, and everyone hurriedly leapt into the gate, leaving this place of trouble.

At this moment, outside the Divine Flame Secret Realm, Elders from various Sects gathered here, their faces filled with concern.

Today was the day the Teleportation Gate opened, but there was no movement within the gate.

Everyone speculated whether the Heavenly Prides had encountered problems inside the Secret Realm.

Among them, Liu Qingxia’s face seemed calm, but her heart was incredibly anxious.

She was worried about both Deng Yue and Lin Chen.

Even though she verbalized indifference towards Lin Chen, claiming that his affairs had nothing to do with her and even unwilling to mention his name,

in the depths of her heart, Lin Chen was an exceedingly important existence.

Even though Liu Qingxia knew Lin Chen had many trump cards and methods, his Cultivation was, after all, very low; he had only reached the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm when he entered the Secret Realm. She wondered what the Formation Sect was thinking, allowing Lin Chen to enter the Secret Realm.

If Lin Chen truly met with misfortune, wouldn’t the Formation Sect regret losing a genius?

After all, with Lin Chen’s talent, as long as he survived, he was bound to become a powerful figure in the future.

At this moment, on the side of the Formation Sect, Shi Wanshan had a furrowed brow, his face also not looking too good; naturally, he hoped that Lin Chen and the Heavenly Prides of the Sect would all come out alive.

However, on this same day in past years when the Secret Realm opened, there would always be casualties.

Ouyang Jin’s expression was complex. As the Deputy Sect Master of the Formation Sect, although he had his own schemes, for the interest of the Sect, he still hoped that Lin Chen would come out alive.

Yet, even though Lin Chen had exceptional talent and was described as a monster, he was not an ally within the Sect, not under his control, and could not be used by him; therefore, deep inside, he also harbored a sliver of hope that Lin Chen would not survive the Secret Realm.

However, deep in his heart, he was also uncertain about whether he truly hoped for Lin Chen to come out alive or to die in the Secret Realm.

As for the other Sects, some hoped that all their disciples would come out alive, while some hoped that the disciples of other Sects would perish within.

For example, Lian Ping, the Hall Master of Bodhi Hall, at this moment very much hoped that Lin Chen would die inside the Secret Realm.

In his view, it was impossible for Lin Chen to come out of the Secret Realm alive.

After all, he had specifically instructed the disciples of Bodhi Hall to ensure Lin Chen would not come out alive.

Just as leaders and Elders from various factions harbored their own thoughts, the Teleportation Gate finally began to stir.

One by one, figures walked out from inside, and it turned out to be the disciples of Bodhi Hall.

"Ha ha, good, very good, my disciples have only been in the Secret Realm for four months, and their Cultivation has broken through."

At this moment, Lian Ping’s heart was filled with immense joy, because his disciple Xiao Changkong’s Cultivation had actually broken through and reached the Nirvana Realm Third Layer.

One must know, after advancing into the Nirvana Realm, each step of improvement was extremely difficult.

To upgrade a Realm, even for a Martial Artist with exceptional talent, years or even decades or centuries are needed; yet Xiao Changkong managed to break through in just four months.

Lian Ping couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, Xiao Changkong truly was Bodhi Hall’s number one young Heavenly Pride.

However, after hearing Lian Ping’s praise, Xiao Changkong did not show happiness; instead, his face showed a trace of sorrow.

This, neither Lian Ping nor the others noticed.

They had no idea what Xiao Changkong was thinking at the moment; what did it matter that his Cultivation broke through? Compared to the fortunes Lin Chen encountered in the Secret Realm, what he obtained was nothing.

Shortly afterward, disciples from various factions emerged one after another from the Secret Realm.

Seeing that all the disciples had improved in Cultivation, the leaders of the factions were very satisfied.

However, there were casualties among all parties, which made the leaders’ initial joy dip again.

The last person to come out of the Secret Realm was Lin Chen.

And at this moment, on his shoulder, there was also a small wolf the size of a fist.
