Chapter 1475: Chapter 1495 - News from an Old Friend_1

The Golden Winged Roc flapped its wings, landing on the desolate mountain path.

Su Wu appeared above the mountain path and at the mountainside, all four of them including Ji Ruxue emerged.

Everyone was staring at Lin Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on Little Gold’s head, in utter shock.

Lin Chen had been gone for over six years and had returned in such a spectacular fashion?

That was the extremely proud Golden Winged Roc, had he actually tamed it?

Wasn’t he just a Human Immortal?

How did he manage to do that?

Lin Chen patted Little Gold and gracefully flew up: "Uncle Wu, long time no see..."

Su Wu’s gaze fell on Little Gold: "Golden Winged Roc, how did you manage to do this?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I got some help to hatch and raise it."

Hatched?

That makes sense.

But who was bold enough to steal the egg of a Golden Winged Roc? Were they tired of living?

The Golden Winged Roc’s temper is absolutely not good!

It eats meat!

After instructing Little Gold for a bit, Little Gold soared into the sky and flew towards the mountaintop of Heavenly Sword Peak.

Su Wu’s gaze fell on Lin Chen’s face, his gaze was subtle: "I heard that you went to congratulate Donghua Ancestor’s Birthday instead of the Sect Master, and you ended up killing Donghua Ancestor with a single sword strike?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, he wanted to refine all of us into Essence Blood to help him break through to the next level, he was unfortunate to run into me, he was just unlucky."

Donghua Ancestor indeed had bad luck, he never imagined that a Human Immortal would destroy his plan and even kill him with a single sword strike!

Even if Meng Gongxin had gone in person, he might not have been able to handle it and possibly would have died on the spot. In a certain sense, Lin Chen blocked a disaster for Meng Gongxin and saved his life.

Su Wu praised: "You’ve really made a name for the White Crane Immortal Sect, after all, you saved many important members of the sect in the past, we owe you a huge favor."

Lin Chen laughed, "I was just saving myself too, it was just a coincidence."

Su Wu asked, "I heard you took a disciple for Heavenly Sword Peak?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, a little girl in her teens. Has she come back in these years?"

Su Wu nodded, "She came back once, stayed for about ten days, and then left. She said that the road she had to walk was all up to her, we couldn’t help her..."

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised, and laughed, "Does this count as her recognizing her lineage?"

Su Wu laughed, "I think she’s kept a distance from everyone else, and been wary. Only when she mentions you, her eyes and expression are completely different. It can be seen that she deeply trusts and relies on you."

Lin Chen nodded, "She experienced a great change when she was young. Her mindset is definitely different from ordinary people. Leave her be. Given some time, she might get better."

At this time, Ji Ruxue and the others came to greet him.

Lin Chen laughed, "Zi Feng obtained the opportunity from the Qiqiao Hall, so to avoid unforeseen dangers, we didn’t come to find you. Did anyone cause you trouble?"

Ji Ruxue responded respectfully, "They interrogated us, but didn’t do anything else."

Lin Chen nodded, dismissed them, and then walked back to the room on the mountain with Su Wu.

"Any news from the Barren Wilderness?"

Su Wu laughed, "Yes, some people from your sect in the Barren Wilderness came up, but for the specific news, you’ll have to ask Sect Master."

A flicker of joy appeared in Lin Chen’s heart, but he also felt worried.

What about them? Was their Ascension successful?

There were not many people on Heavenly Sword Peak, so naturally, there wasn’t much to do. After Lin Chen and Su Wu chatted briefly, he went to visit Sect Master Meng Gongxin in his Cave Mansion.

"Sect Master?"

Upon hearing the news, Meng Gongxin came out from his Cave Mansion. Upon seeing Lin Chen, he showed a happy expression, "Junior Martial Uncle, you’re back!"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "Yes, I was delayed for a bit longer than I initially planned."

"Junior Martial Uncle, please come in. Let’s talk inside!"

Meng Gongxin invited Lin Chen into the Cave Mansion, personally brewed a cup of tea for Lin Chen, and then formally bowed with his hands in front.

Lin Chen asked in surprise: "Sect Master, what are you doing?"

Meng Gongxin seriously said: "Firstly, I want to apologize. I asked you to attend the Donghua Ancestor’s Birthday, which put you in danger. If it weren’t for the Sword Qi you received as a gift from predecessor Li, you might have been trapped there."

Lin Chen laughed, "Who could have guessed that, besides, aren’t the results quite good now?"

Meng Gongxin bowed, "Secondly, I am grateful. At that time, if it were not for you, but me going to the event, I would have been refined into Essence Blood by the Donghua Ancestor, becoming his nourishment for breakthrough. Junior Martial Uncle, you have given me a life-saving favor."

Lin Chen looked at Meng Gongxin’s determined face, laughed freely: "Alright, I’ll accept this gratitude."

Only then did Meng Gongxin sit down opposite Lin Chen and asked: "Junior Martial Uncle, did you come to ask about the ascension of your friends and relatives from the Barren Wilderness?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I heard there is news from them."

Meng Gongxin nodded in agreement, "Junior Martial Uncle. You are the Human Emperor from the Barren Wilderness, and also the Sect Leader of our White Crane Immortal Sect’s Tianjian Peak. Naturally, we have been keeping a close eye on the matter you entrusted us with."

"In these past six plus years, indeed quite a number of people related to Junior Martial Uncle have ascended, including the members of the sect you belonged to in the Barren Wilderness, as well as the Demon Emperor..."
