Chapter 1254: Chapter 1274 - I don’t want to die, I want to live! _1

Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng were shocked.

Ghost Tower?

Of course they knew!

From their time, the Ghost Tower has been an extremely special and powerful existence. Countless gifted talents have tried to conquer it, but none of them succeeded.

Lin Chen was merely at the Nascent Soul Stage, yet he could speak with such confidence, refusing to accept a friendship contract, accepting only a master-servant contract with him as the master and the Ghost Tower as the servant?

"Did the Ghost Tower... agree?"

Yuan Ji spoke in a low voice: "Not yet, but the Ghost Tower has come out to help Lin Chen suppress the fairy. What do you think?"

Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng looked at each other. Their expressions changed subtly, and the slight unwillingness and pride in their hearts were instantly erased.

If a powerful entity like the Ghost Tower was willing to serve Lin Chen, what did their pride signify?

The Ghost Tower had the power to suppress a fairy with one hit. A fairy could turn them to ashes with a flick of a finger. In comparison, who were they?

Gone was their arrogance, replaced by concern.

Would he accept their surrender?

Especially Ji Ruxue. Deep down she was worried. The first time they met, Ji Ruxue was hunting Lin Chen. He mustn’t have forgotten that.

Yan Chusheng listened quietly. Upon hearing this, he bowed to Yuan Ji: "Thanks for the reminder, despite our past grudges. I will treat you to a drink later."

Yuan Ji grinned. Given Yan Chusheng’s personality, he would never utter words like "sorry." Inviting Yuan Ji for a drink was a clear sign of his understanding and acceptance.

At this moment, Yuan Ji felt a lot better.

The three fell silent, looking at Lin Chen in the sky, each lost in their own thoughts.

Lin Chen was calmly floating in mid-air, graceful and aloof, clad in white as pure as snow. He showed no signs of the disarray that befell those who underwent the Thunder Tribulation. In fact, he looked like a refined gentleman.

He was unmoving, but his body seemed to function as a black hole, continuously devouring the spiritual Qi that flowed into him like a river, inexhaustible, like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.

The aura around Lin Chen continued to ascend, his immense aura blanketed an area of a hundred miles radius. All the demonic beasts within that range were shivering, shrinking to the ground. As if encountering a formidable enemy, they dared not to stir an inch.

Finally, the influx of spiritual Qi that was as torrential as a great river began to slow down and then stopped.

Successful promotion!

Lin Chen had finally entered the Void stage, becoming a cultivator in the highest realm of the Barren Wilderness. Although he hadn’t achieved Great Perfection, there was no bottleneck anymore. All that was left was to accumulate spiritual Qi.

A matter of time.

There was still plenty of Ghost Lingdan on Lin Chen, not used up yet. He wondered if it was possible to advance another minor realm.

He had noticed Ji Ruxue and Yan Kuangtu earlier and saw Yuan Ji stopping them.

He descended and hovered in front of the two.

"What brings you here?"

Ji Ruxue and Jiang Rukong looked at each other. At this instant, both their minds were set.

Ji Ruxue immediately knelt on one knee, making a respectful salute: "I wish to serve Mr. Lin as my master."

Seeing Ji Ruxue do this, Jiang Rukong swiftly kneeled down, making a respectful salute as well.

"I wish to do the same!"

Lin Chen remained calm, his gaze landed on Yuan Ji standing nearby: "What is happening?"

Yuan Ji respectfully replied: "I sent a message to them previously, but they were overseas. The mark on them suddenly disappeared, they didn’t understand what happened, so they came to ask me..."

Lin Chen asked in surprise: "Mark? The one from Weijiao?"

"Yes."

Yuan Ji explained: "Either something happened to Weijiao, or she voluntarily gave up control over them. In any case, they are now free."

Delight flashed in Lin Chen’s eyes. Did that mean that the situation was evolving in a direction that favored Xuanji Fairy?

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on Ji Ruxue and Yan Chusheng: "Since Weijiao’s control over you is no more, and you are now free individuals, isn’t it better to remain free? Why do you want to serve me and lose your freedom?"

Ji Ruxue had already knelt down. The doubts she had had before had vanished as a wisp of smoke. She answered sincerely: "We hope to follow Mr. Lin and serve you. We hope that when Mr. Lin goes to the Immortal Realm in the future, you might take us with you."

"Although we were granted a life span of ten thousand years before, we have spent ten thousand years in the Valley of Death. Our lives are nearing their ends, and if we do not go to the Immortal Realm, our lives will soon reach their terminus."

"I don’t want to die, I want to live."

I want to live!

This reason was perfect!

Lin Chen didn’t make a fuss about it. After all, someone like them, a half-immortal, a real expert, could be very helpful to him if he could use them.

As for what they were asking for?

They were already half-immortals. They simply wanted to go to the Immortal Realm, which was really not too much to ask at all.

Even if it was a bit challenging, with Xuanji Fairy on his side, what problem could remain unsolved?

"You want to follow me? Fine, but I have just entered the initial Void stage..."

Ji Ruxue straightforwardly said: "We are willing to give up our True Souls and sign a
