Chapter 1774: Chapter 1794: The Exploding Underground City_1

Lin Chen saw Gao Chen and others in the Qiqiao Hall, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying.

After Gao Chen and the others returned underground, Lin Chen did not rush to leave.

He was safe.

He wanted to see if there were any more clues to follow.

The whole thing happened so suddenly.

All he wanted was to learn the Divine Soul Separation Technique. If they don’t agree, they don’t agree, why would they suddenly decide to kill him?

There’s no need for that.

Previously, they had agreed so readily, why did they suddenly turn cold?

Mr. Mo!

Clearly, this Mr. Mo is the one who caused their sudden change of attitude.

From the Sect’s senior management?

It doesn’t seem like it.

If they’re all from the Soul Separation Sect, everyone should be addressing each other in terms like senior brother, martial uncle, and so on. Why would they call him Mr. Mo with such a distant and polite title?

Could it be a special existence like a guest elder of the sect?

Or maybe... he is a complete outsider?

Lin Chen fell into thought.

If Mr. Mo is a guest elder, his stance should align with the Soul Separation Sect, any decision he makes should be for the good of the sect, and only then would the sect’s senior management support his decisions.

Does killing me align with the interests of the Soul Separation sect?

That’s unlikely, right?

All I did was find the location of the Soul Separation Sect. Moreover, I came under the identity of a special envoy from the Immortal Palace. Killing me to cover up the location of the sect would be a bit over the top, wouldn’t it?

If they fail, it would bring about the annihilation of the Soul Separation Sect. The cost is too great, isn’t it?

It shouldn’t be like this!

So if Mr. Mo is an outsider, why would the Soul Separation Sect listen to an outsider and agree to kill me, thus offending the Immortal Sect?

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened.

Against the Immortal Palace?

The Heavenly Dao Alliance???

If this Mr. Mo is from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, responsible for connecting with the Soul Separation Sect, once he learns about this situation, would he demand the Soul Separation Sect to kill me as a statement of their collaboration?

Didn’t the Hall Master of the Devil Palace do something similar before? Even after hearing that we were special envoys from the Immortal Palace, he still wished to assassinate me?

Isn’t this plot awfully familiar?

Lin Chen’s face turned serious. If this was indeed the case, it would mean that the Soul Separation Sect had decisively joined the Heavenly Dao Alliance. If he wanted to receive further help from them, to assist his father with the Divine Soul Separation, would that not be hopeless?

Of course, there’s another possibility, which would involve bringing my people to take down the Soul Separation Sect. Arresting the sect’s senior management, purely for survival, why wouldn’t they help me?

Once I learn the Divine Soul Separation Technique, I could cultivate it myself!

Lin Chen made up his mind. Once he understood the situation, he would signal the Immortal Palace to request their help.

To strike against the Soul Separation Sect would also mean striking against the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and this is not merely a personal matter.

Lin Chen prepared to continue observing.

About two hours later, Ouyang Ye appeared again, and the person with him was none other than Mr. Mo, who had a hood on. Ouyang Ye led him onto a flying boat and headed north.

A hood?

Lin Chen thought quickly and understood immediately. The Soul Separation Sect did not want Mr. Mo to know their exact location.

Mr. Mo is not a member of the Soul Separation Sect!

Then there was only one possibility left: Mr. Mo is a member of the Heavenly Dao Alliance!

Lin Chen really wanted to follow, to see where Mr. Mo would end up, but he dared not.

Both Mr. Mo and Ouyang Ye were of the Fairy strength, if he followed them, wouldn’t that be suicide?

Lin Chen waited for half a day, then suddenly, a large number of cultivators flooded out. Thousands of people in groups, dressed ready, all headed east, and soon everyone had left.

Lin Chen was shocked, what was going on?

With so many people leaving the sect, what was the Soul Separation Sect planning?

Lin Chen continued to wait.

About half a day later, a deep and loud noise suddenly came from the depths of the quiet sand sea.

Lin Chen was startled. Wasn’t the place where this sound came from the location of the Underground city of the Soul Separation Sect?

What happened to the Soul Separation Sect?

The previously still sand sea suddenly sank, forming a huge underground gap. A large amount of yellow sand poured into this sunken hole. Soon, the sand dunes collapsed and filled the large pit.

A few figures shot up from the sand sea, the one leading them was none other than Sect Master Gao Chen of the Soul Separation Sect.

Gao Chen’s face was stern as he once again directed a palm strike towards a nearby sand dune.

The sand dune erupted violently, yellow sand filled the sky and once it settled back onto the ground, it covered all traces of the collapse. Everything returned to its original state, leaving no trace behind.

"Go!"

Gao Chen and the rest head off into the distance, and calm returned to the whole sand sea.

As Lin Chen watched this scene, a chill ran down his spine.

Was the massive explosion just now caused by the underground city of the Soul Separation Sect?

Lin Chen had stayed in the underground city for more than ten days and had a rough understanding of the people living in the entire underground city.

The entire underground city was home to at least tens of thousands of people, but the number of people he saw leaving just now was only about two or three thousand, right?

Were the rest all killed by Gao Chen and the others?
