Chapter 2093: Chapter 2113: He Escaped Again, What’s Going On? _1

Chen Xiong’s face was complicated, and he gave a bitter smile, "If the sect knew he had such a strong destiny, why would they ever kick him out? Every sect would want such a person, they just can’t attain them..."

Lin Chen furrowed his brows, it seemed that Xiao Shubo didn’t tell the sect, or perhaps he himself didn’t know before. Did he only discover his destiny later on?

Xiao Shubo must be holding his breath, silently struggling to impress everyone.

Lin Chen pondered, casually asking, "Did the junior sister Xiao Shubo liked end up with the Senior Brother?"

"No."

Chen Xiong hesitated, speaking softly, "She is dead."

Lin Chen looked up, his eyebrows furrowing. "How come?"

Chen Xiong nervously licked his lips, looking hesitant to speak.

Lin Chen fixed his gaze on Chen Xiong, calmly saying, "If you won’t tell me, I can perform a Soul Search on my own."

Chen Xiong trembled, his eyes full of terror, quickly saying, "I will speak, I will speak, just spare my life, I’ll do whatever you ask..."

Lin Chen didn’t respond, he just stared at him.

Now that his secret was exposed, how could Chen Xiong possibly survive? Still, Lin Chen might not necessarily need to kill him now, maybe he could be useful in the future. Judging by his posture, he probably held quite a status within the sect, knowing many of the Sea Shark Sect’s secrets.

Chen Xiong didn’t dare to negotiate, hurriedly chiming in, "Junior Sister Zhao Ling didn’t like Senior Brother, she liked Xiao Shubo. After Xiao Shubo was forced to leave the sect, the Senior Brother confessed his feelings to Zhao Ling, but Zhao Ling rejected him. And said she knew Senior Brother was the one who sabotaged Xiao Shubo. She despised him and said she would never be with him in this lifetime."

"Senior Brother’s pride was hurt, and he immediately had murderous intent towards Zhao Ling. During an adventure, he made arrangements that made Zhao Ling part of his team, and purposely did not assist her during the fight, causing her grievous injuries."

"Senior Brother took advantage of Zhao Ling’s injury...he raped Zhao Ling, and then killed her himself. Only a few of us know what really happened. He publicly claimed that Zhao Ling was killed by a demonic beast. The sect didn’t suspect anything because although Zhao Ling was quite talented, she was just that – talented. She wasn’t the focus of the disciples’ attention. When she died, she simply died."

Lin Chen didn’t respond.

In a world of survival of the fittest, wasn’t such a thing normal?

Poor Xiao Shubo.

"Did Xiao Shubo find out about this?"

Chen Xiong shook his head, "He should know that Zhao Ling is dead, but he doesn’t know her real cause of death."

It’s horrible!

Truly horrible!

Lin Chen asked, "Is your senior brother here?"

Chen Xiong nodded, "He’s here."

Lin Chen’s eyes glowed slightly, "Who is leading your Sea Shark Sect team, what’s their strength, how many of you are there in total?"

Chen Xiong answered, "The team is led by Elder Wen Gongping, he’s a Daluo Mysterious Immortal of the Second Realm, there are a hundred of us in total. Apart from Elder Wen, there is also a Da Luo Venerable Du Yigui, he’s of the First Layer of Heavenly Origin Realm."

Lin Chen nodded, "Can you contact your fellow disciples?"

Chen Xiong replied, "Yes, although we don’t move together, we keep within a certain range so we can rush over to help each other when there are emergencies."

After some thought, Lin Chen didn’t have anything else to ask for the moment. He turned to Xi Jie and said, "Keep him for now, he might still be useful!"

Xi Jie slightly nodded, with a wave of her hand, Chen Xiong was sent flying downwards. The ground below quickly caved in, forming a huge, dry well that seemed as deep as an abyss. Chen Xiong fell straight into it.

Chen Xiong was trapped in the well as his Sea of Knowledge was sealed and he fell hundreds of meters into the dry well, making it impossible for him to escape.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "There are two more, I’ll go capture them."

Lin Chen vanished from the Linglong Tower, transforming into a streak of golden light, he headed towards the location of the team.

The two disciples from the Sea Shark Sect had already picked all the Red Jade Orchid Mushrooms, they were shamelessly staring at Hong Guilin and Lu Xinyan, their eyes filled with undisguised lust, as if they were about to rip off the women’s clothes.

The two women were angry but didn’t dare to openly object. They could only turn their bodies to the side, ignoring the two men.

The two shared a sly grin, with one of them asking, "Why’s it taking so long for him to come back?"

The other man chuckled, "Maybe the guy ran fast. Focused on saving his own skin, it would take some time to catch him."

After finishing his words, he turned to Xiao Shubo, "Xiao Shubo, how powerful is that old man?"

Xiao Shubo was silent for a moment before answering, "Early-stage Celestial Immortal."

The man laughed, "Early-stage Celestial Immortal? That’s practically a one-way ticket to death. Brother Chen is a late-stage Celestial Immortal. He can squish him in no time."

Xiao Shubo furrowed his brows, his expression tense as he glanced towards the horizon with a look of worry in his eyes.

No matter what, Lin Chen had spoken up for him and thus got targeted by Chen Xiong. He was the root cause of it all.

Xiao Shubo clenched his fist.

If Xiao Family’s safety wasn’t at risk, he would have risked his own life fighting them. He was confident that with the Five Unbeatable Formations, he could defeat or even kill Chen Xiong and his team. But now, he didn’t dare to make a sound.

While the crowd was in their own thoughts, a golden streak cut across the sky, rapidly approaching.

The two men from the Sea Shark Sect shared a knowing look, "Looks like he’s back?"

Xiao Shubo and the others looked at the man approaching and their hearts sank.

The figure in the distance was enveloped in golden light, but it was clear that it was a single person, not two.

Chen Xiong?

Where’s Lin Chen?

Did he escape or was he killed by Chen Xiong?

Considering Chen Xiong’s previous demeanor, everyone naturally leaned towards the latter; Chen Xiong wouldn’t let Lin Chen go.

Chen Xiong was a late-stage Celestial Immortal, while Lin Chen was just starting; the gap in their abilities was substantial. How could escaping be easy?

If Chen Xiong had captured Lin Chen, he would definitely return with Lin Chen to flaunt his victory. But Chen Xiong was not there, which highly suggested that Lin Chen was likely dead.

Lin Chen had defended him, but now was killed by Chen Xiong!

In that instant, the rage in Xiao Shubo’s heart reignited. He clenched his teeth and stared intently at the golden light approaching.

The golden light blinked and arrived, pausing mid-air for a moment before revealing a figure.

Everyone’s gaze faltered, because the man standing before them was Lin Chen, not Chen Xiong!

Incredibly, Lin Chen was still alive!

Surprise and joy flashed in Xiao Shubo’s eyes, followed by confusion.

Where was Chen Xiong?

Wasn’t he supposed to be hunting down Lin Chen?

Could it be that Lin Chen was hiding his true abilities and had done away with Chen Xiong?

That seemed too unlikely. If that were the case, why did Lin Chen turn and run previously? Would he have been so scared that he ran for his life?

The two men from the Sea Shark Sect stood abruptly in shock. However, before they could speak, Lin Chen beat them to it.

"Damn, you guys are still here!"

Without slowing down, Lin Chen threw out those words and once again transformed into a golden streak, fleeing in another direction.

Everyone was taken aback.

What was going on with this guy?

He had just come back, and now he’s running away again?
