Chapter 1138: Chapter 1158: Who Exactly is the Mysterious Person?_1

Zhu Yao replied: "They went to catch the people left on that boat."

"Let’s go and see!"

The two walked side by side back and Qiu Qiu flew over, hanging on Lin Chen’s shoulder like a cute ornament.

Lin Chen reached out and touched its head, then took out a bag of snacks from the Spatial Ring and handed it to its paw, praising with a smile, "Well done!"

"Chirp-chirp~"

Zhu Yao curiously looked at Qiu Qiu on Lin Chen’s shoulder: "What a cute little beast, where did it come from?"

Now that Lin Chen had the ability to protect himself, he didn’t hide it and answered honestly: "I met it in the Forbidden Spirit Palace in the True Dragon Secret Realm while avoiding being hunted and killed. It later grabbed my clothes and was teleported out of the Secret Realm with me. I don’t know its origin, but it seems to be able to swallow a huge amount of energy and won’t be hurt..."

"Forbidden Spirit Palace?"

Zhu Yao widened her eyes: "It swallowed four blood beads and nothing happened to it. That’s amazing! Could it be a young Spirit-devouring Beast?"

Lin Chen replied: "I had my suspicions too, but I’m not sure. Anyway, it understands human speech and is willing to follow me. It can help me a lot during critical moments."

Zhu Yao sighed: "Your strength has increased so rapidly. When I first met you, you were still at the Golden Core stage, and now you’re already at the Transforming God stage, even able to kill Void Profound Experts in an instant..."

Lin Chen smiled: "It’s just using external forces, I don’t have that strength myself. Even fighting a Great Circle of Void Separation would be tough for me."

Zhu Yao waved off his concern with a laugh: "Who cares if it’s external or your own force? As long as it can be used and kill the enemy, that’s enough."

Lin Chen asked: "How long will it take for you to devour the Yin Yang Ghost Fire?"

Zhu Yao asked: "Why do you ask me that?"

Lin Chen laughed: "I caught the Yin Yang Ghost Fire, didn’t I? If it takes a short time, I’ll let you devour it first. Once you have the Yin Yang Ghost Fire Core, you can go with me to do something. If it takes a long time, then we’ll do that thing first, and I’ll give you the Yin Yang Ghost Fire afterward."

Zhu Yao was surprised: "The Yin Yang Ghost Fire belongs to you since you caught it, why do you give it to me?"

Lin Chen smiled: "Although the Yin Yang Ghost Fire is in the Water and Fire Mirror and can indeed enhance my strength, it is ultimately an external force for me. You are a Fire Spirit Body and can control fire. If you absorb it, your strength can be greatly increased. In that case, I’m naturally giving it to you."

Zhu Yao shook her head vigorously: "No, if it weren’t for you, we would never have caught the Yin Yang Ghost Fire. Its ability to manipulate corpses was too disgusting and too powerful. Since you caught it, it naturally belongs to you!"

Lin Chen patted Zhu Yao’s shoulder and laughed: "Don’t be so reserved between friends. Just tell me how long it will take."

Zhu Yao hesitated for a while with a complex expression and finally answered: "Three to five days."

Lin Chen decisively made a decision: "It’s not that long. In that case, we’ll give you the fire first. However, when we’re done, you have to go with me."

Zhu Yao smiled bitterly: "You really want to give it to me?"

Lin Chen laughed: "I really want to give it to you. Maybe you’ll form a Fire Core even before you finish absorbing it."

Zhu Yao, seeing Lin Chen’s determined attitude, finally stopped hesitating: "Well, since you insist, I won’t be polite."

Lin Chen laughed: "Yes, there are so many Heavenly Exotic Flames in the world, not just the Yin Yang Ghost Fire. I’ll just find another one later."

Zhu Yao nodded, secretly resolved to find a high-quality Strange Fire for Lin Chen later to repay this huge favor.

They returned to the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect Flying Boat, only to find the entire flying boat gone and a huge deep pit left in its place, with scattered fragments and burning Flames everywhere.

"Uncle Seventeen, what happened?"

Zhu Ping, standing on the edge of the pit, replied: "When we arrived, they turned around and ran. We only intercepted one of them, and that guy was ruthless too. Seeing that he couldn’t escape, he directly detonated his Primordial Spirit, injuring two of us and destroying everything here in the explosion."

Lin Chen threw the Leading man’s body on the ground: "This man is the Seven Stars Sect Deputy Sect Master. The people of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect are really well-hidden..."

Zhu Family members changed their expressions: "The Seven Stars Sect is one of the Five Great of Central Divine Continent Alliance, powerful, and the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect has a long reach. What about the others?"

Lin Chen explained what he had heard: "The members of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect keep their identities secret from each other. This means that even if we catch them, we cannot trace them back..."

Zhu Ping was angry: "The people of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect are really audacious, daring to order the assassination of the Human Emperor!"

Lin Chen smiled: "It’s normal to be looked down upon when your strength is insufficient. After this time, they should be more cautious about dealing with me."

Zhu Yao asked with concern: "Who is it that obtained the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect’s inheritance, the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array, in the True Dragon Secret Realm, and has a great grudge against you?"

"I really can’t guess."

Lin Chen’s expression was somewhat helpless: "If they want to make a move against me, they will reveal themselves one day..."
