Chapter 2094: Chapter 2114: Is the Old Ginger Still Spicy? _1

From the words Lin Chen said earlier, the crowd immediately understood.

This guy must have used some means to get rid of Chen Xiong, thinking that the two of them must have left after obtaining the object, so he circled back. However, he did not expect the two of them to still be here, causing him to run off in fright once again.

The two disciples from Sea Shark Sect did not hesitate at all, their bodies turned into golden light as they pursued Lin Chen.

Given that Chen Xiong had been thrown off, they’d be to blame if they let Lin Chen escape again, wouldn’t they?

In any case, they had already obtained the Red Jade Orchid Mushroom, so staying around held no further meaning. The top priority was to capture this crafty old man.

Xiao Shubo and the rest were somewhat flustered, their expressions somewhat subtle for a moment.

Could this timid friend Lin be so slippery?

Could Chen Xiong actually have been thrown off by him?

If so, he should be able to evade the pursuit of these two people, after all, their abilities were far inferior compared to Chen Xiong.

Hong Guilin uncertainly said, "He should be able to escape, right?"

Song Jun responded, "What should we do now? Stay here or leave first?"

The crowd suddenly came to their senses.

Yes, if they stayed and Chen Xiong came back, unable to catch Lin Chen and became furious out of embarrassment, venting his anger on them, what would they do?

Reasoning?

In the world of cultivators, it’s the survival of the fittest. Who would reason with you?

If reasoning would work, today’s situation wouldn’t have occurred in the first place, and they wouldn’t have ended up in this miserable state.

Xiao Shubo gritted his teeth and said, "We leave first. If he can’t catch up with us later, we’ll figure out a way to circle back."

Lu Xinyan furrowed her brows and asked, "Can he find us?"

Xiao Shubo glanced in the direction where Lin Chen had disappeared, "Although I’m not sure, my intuition tells me he can."

Song Jun urged, "Regardless, let’s go first. We’re really unlucky, and it would be even unluckier should we stay."

Hong Guilin turned to look at the unconscious young man, "What about him?"

Lu Xinyan bluntly said, "Bring him along. There’s no danger now, and if we lose him when Lin Chen comes back, won’t he be mad?"

"Alright!"

The four left without hesitation, bringing the unconscious young man with them and quickly departing on the flying boat.

Not long after they had left, a golden light flashed in the sky again, and Lin Chen’s figure appeared above the mountain stream.

"They left?"

Lin Chen smiled and, after a brief pause, turned and headed north.

Several hundred miles away, Xiao Shubo and the others hid in a valley, planning to lay low and avoid trouble.

Although Chen Xiong had belittled Xiao Shubo repeatedly, there was no direct enmity between them. He wouldn’t be so stubborn as to not let go. Seeing that the group wasn’t there, even if he became angry, he should leave if he searched and couldn’t find them, right?

They hoped Friend Lin was okay.

As they chatted casually, the topic of conversation revolved around Lin Chen, whose heroic action to protect the group made them increasingly fond of him. His escape from Chen Xiong’s pursuit increased their hope and expectation for him.

Everyone hoped he was still alive.

Although Lin Chen had shown himself to be a bit timid, he had performed admirably as a team member.

After all, they had only met by chance and formed a temporary team. Even though there were contract vows, the fact that he had gone this far was already quite impressive.

While chatting, Xiao Shubo’s face changed slightly. He whispered, "Someone’s coming!"

Everyone got up, their eyes alert.

"Don’t worry, it’s me."

Lin Chen’s voice came first, and the vigilance on everyone’s faces immediately vanished, replaced by joy.

He actually managed to catch up and even found the group!

Lin Chen’s figure appeared in front of everyone, he smiled at them, "Is everyone okay?"

Lu Xinyan asked in surprise, "We’re fine, and you?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m fine. I led them around in circles, then I ran off. When I looked back and saw you weren’t there, I followed. Ah, when I first applied the Life and Death Seal on you all, I could use it to sense your locations."

Lin Chen quickly explained the situation and how he was able to find them.

Everyone immediately felt relieved. So that’s how it was!

Curious, Hong Guilin asked, "What about Chen Xiong? Didn’t he catch up with you?"

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m not that great in terms of ability, but I do have some skills when it comes to escaping. After all, I’m afraid of death. Chen Xiong was tricked by me into pursuing in a far-off direction, and I simply circled back."

Once Lin Chen explained this, nobody asked about the other two people who had chased after him. If even Chen Xiong had been thrown off, wasn’t it normal for them to lose track of him after being led around in circles?

Everyone looked at Lin Chen with slightly peculiar eyes. This person wasn’t very powerful, seemed quite old, but possessed quite a few methods.

The old ginger is indeed hotter, huh?
