Chapter 1397: Chapter 1417: The Only Person in the Whole World Who Cares About Her_1

In the territory of Donghua Ancestor, they dared to openly capture Shu Zifeng, which amounted to a blatant slap in the face of Donghua Ancestor, an offense against a peak Golden Immortal.

Knowing such consequences, they proceeded cleanly and decisively, leaving only one possibility; they were forewarned of the news that Donghua Ancestor had passed away.

With the death of the Donghua Ancestor, the East China Heavenly Hole was naturally abolished, and there was no need to give the East China Heavenly Hole any more face. After all, the only formidable force in the East China Heavenly Hole was the Donghua Ancestor. Despite having many disciples, their strength was negligible.

The Mingxin Sect’s Guan Xinyue!

She is likely the only insider who participated in the pursuit and capture of Shu Zifeng then appeared at the banquet. She and her martial uncle must have informed the Sky Tiger Sect ahead of time and captured Shu Zifeng before our group returned.

Lin Chen returned to the main hall and looked around but did not see any trace of Guan Xinyue and her martial uncle.

Thinking carefully, they both slipped away as soon as they left the small island, and their figures were not seen after that.

After a short contemplation, Lin Chen sprang up and his clear voice echoed throughout the main hall.

"Everyone, has anyone seen or knows the whereabouts of people from the Sky Tiger Sect and Mingxin Sect? The people of the Sky Tiger Sect have kidnapped my handmaid..."

All eyes in the main hall fell on Lin Chen. Chen Ke shouted, "Has the Sky Tiger Sect gone mad? Daring to openly kidnap someone from the White Crane Immortal Sect?"

Lin Chen explained: "I saved Shu Zifeng halfway. The people who were hunting her were from the Sky Tiger Sect, Mingxin Sect, and other sects. She is highly talented, and I planned to take her as my disciple and inherit the heritage of Heavenly Sword Peak when I return. But now she has been kidnapped by the Sky Tiger Sect..."

The people had originally thought she was just a handmaid and didn’t care too much, considering the status of a handmaid, how many people would pay attention? But now that they heard that Shu Zifeng was in fact the chosen True Inheritance Disciple of the Heavenly Sword Peak, the gravity of the situation changed completely.

Kidnapping a True Inheritance Disciple, this is a grievous offense!

Among the crowd, a white-haired elder stood up and said, "Friend Lin, I have a magical treasure that can locate people, but it needs an object that has been in contact with the person’s energy..."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up and he flew over to this person, pulling out a sword scripture: "A few days ago, she had been studying this scripture constantly. I don’t know if this will work..."

"Let’s give it a try!"

The white-haired elder took out a compass-like magical treasure, with a gesture, the sword scripture fell on the compass. The compass emitted a glowing light, directly covering the scripture.

As the stream of light flowed over the scripture, the needle of the compass trembled and slowly, but steadily, pointed eastward.

Leaning his head up, the white-haired elder laughed: "East, it shouldn’t be far."

Lin Chen was overjoyed, this magical treasure really works!

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, can I borrow this magical treasure?"

The white-haired elder laughed and said: "You don’t have to borrow, I’ll come with you and see if I can lend a helping hand."

Chen Ke said loudly: "I’ll go too."

Many people said in unison: "We’ll go together!"

Lin Chen knew that this was the people showing their gratitude for him saving their lives just now, voluntarily offering their help to repay the favor. He bowed his hand in thanks: "Enough talk, thank you!"

The white-haired elder placed a spell on the compass, which flew swiftly towards the east.

A large group of people soared into the sky, following closely behind the compass, they sped away.

...

In the nameless valley, the elder of the Sky Tiger Sect, Min Huakun was gazing coldly at Shu Zifeng in front of him.

Shu Zifeng was drawing a map.

Min Huakun didn’t give Shu Zifeng any opportunity, he just coldly offered her two choices.

Either draw the map or he’d directly use the Soul-searching technique.

Shu Zifeng cleanly chose to draw the map.

Shu Zifeng drew the map well, in detail, exhaustively and slowly.

She was stalling for time.

Instinct told her that the man in front of her had no intention of letting her go. As soon as she finished the map, this man would most likely attempt to use the Soul-searching technique on her right away to verify the authenticity of the map.

She didn’t have a choice.

All she could do was hope for divine intervention, hoping that Lin Chen could save her.

These people quietly controlled her and took her away. One journey took thousands of miles through these desolate mountains and wild ridges. Even if Lin Chen realized she was missing, where could he find her?

Even though she knew this hope was extremely faint, it was her only hope.

At this moment, probably the only person in the entire world who cared about her life and death was Lin Chen.

She was drawing stroke by stroke, occasionally deep in thought, seemingly trying hard to search for memories.

Min Huakun just stared at her coldly. He knew she was stalling but what did it matter?

Regardless of how slowly she drew, there would always be an end to it. When she drew the last stroke, her heart was already filled with despair.

Min Huakun spoke coldly: "Finished?"

Staring at Min Huakun, Shu Zifeng clenched her fists, "You said that if I draw the map, you’ll let me go."

Min Huakun coldly said, "How can I be sure that you didn’t just draw randomly? I need to verify it!"
