Chapter 2149: Chapter 2169: Surround and Attack, Force You Out! _1

The Three-Saint Sect, Respectful Ones’ Court.

All the respected ones of the Three-Saint Sect have gathered to discuss the recent important matters of the sect.

Except for the defector Nangong Night of the Three Santos Sect, the other twelve members of the Zunzhe Court are all together. However, there are more non-Da Luo distinguished ones among them now, such as Zhang Wu, who was gone during the expedition to the Milky Way Secret Realm.

Among the twelve venerables, Mo Yun Sen, Zuo Gūhong, and Zhang Wu are all beneath Da Luo now. They sit in their respective positions, silent and melancholic.

Originally they were but in the Tianyuan Realm, and their input did not carry much weight. Now, even less so.

As per custom, after dealing with a few major issues the sect was recently facing, the meeting was drawing to an end.

Yu Shoudao glanced over everyone and asked, "Has there been no news from Lin Chen and his group yet?"

Everyone immediately perked up, paying close attention, including Zuo Gūhong and others, who had been silent all along.

Lei Hong shook his head, "After the end of the Milky Way Secret Realm mission, he seemed to have vanished again. No one had seen any traces of them. I even started to wonder if he was still in the God Falling Immortal Realm, or if he had staged a bluff and ran away."

Fu Zongjing casually replied, "But it was only one year, for cultivators, it’s just a moment of meditation. Considering he had put on such a large display at the Milky Way Secret Realm, perhaps he found something fruitful and secluded himself somewhere to cultivate and increase his strength."

Yu Shoudao nodded approvingly. Indeed, a year may be quite long for ordinary people, but for cultivators, especially powerful immortals, it’s nothing more than a fleeting moment.

When major Da Luo venerables go into a seclusion, it might easily last a hundred years.

"If this guy is hiding and not showing up, it’s really troublesome. That defector Nangong Night had stolen the Cycle Scripture Monument. If we delay too long and the monument falls into the hands of others, it would be hard to retrieve it."

In fact, Fu Zongjing felt a bit strange deep down. Previously, Lin Chen had said that he would contact him in three to five months, but a year had already passed and there was still no news. Could it be that Lin Chen had actually gone into seclusion to cultivate, as he guessed?

However, thinking about how he had previously obtained so many Mo Xian Crystals from Zhao Xinyu, it seemed quite reasonable for him to seclude himself somewhere quiet to cultivate.

Anyway, as long as the Sect Master does not propose to conquer the Thunder Immortal Realm, he and his group can act as if nothing had happened. This is the only request of Lin Chen.

Thinking of Lin Chen, Fu Zongjing felt somewhat curious.

He had said that if Yu Shoudao was eliminated, he would let him become the sect master of the Three-Saint Sect!

This promise still had a significant temptation for him. After all, under normal circumstances, as long as Yu Shoudao was still there, it would never be his turn. Even if Yu Shoudao was gone, wouldn’t Lei Hong still be there?

Although Yu Shoudao mentioned Lin Chen, he did not have any specific plans, so he let it pass.

"The meeting is adjourned!"

Just as everyone was leaving the conference room, Fu Zongjing suddenly felt a movement in his heart. He took out his communication stone, which contained one silent message.

Fu Zongjing’s pupils contracted slightly. No news when not mentioned, but the moment he brings it up, there it is. This guy sure is punctual.

Fu Zongjing casually returned to his cave mansion, and came out a short time later. He then left the sect and headed northwest.

Soon, Fu Zongjing met Lin Chen atop a mountain peak.

When Fu Zongjing’s eyes fell on Lin Chen, he was slightly startled. This aura has significantly improved from before.

"Mr. Lin!"

Lin Chen chuckled: "Did you miss me?"

Fu Zongjing smiled and replied: "Not really, I presumed that you must have been cultivating, and it appears so. You have improved considerably. May I ask what realm you are at now?"

"Late-stage Celestial Immortal."

Lin Chen candidly replied: "I advanced two stages. I initially wanted to continue cultivating to Great Perfection, but feared you would get impatient, so I put it down for the time being and came here first."

Fu Zongjing was taken aback. In just one year, Lin Chen advanced from the early stage of Celestial Immortal to the late stage. Despite having Mo Xian crystals, the speed of his progress was astonishing.

Fu Zongjing saluted him, "Congratulations Mr. Lin, it won’t be long until you reach the peak of Da Luo."

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s still some ways off. What’s the situation with the Three-Saint Sect now?"

"Recuperating."

Fu Zongjing answered, "We lost one Shattered Illusion cultivator, three Tianyuan cultivators, and over a hundred Sky Horse Knights. Our strength has been significantly reduced, so we’ve been quiet this year, healing and recuperating..."

Lin Chen asked, "Did Yu Shoudao do anything to me?"

Fu Zongjing shook his head, "He couldn’t find you, so what could he do? He seems a bit helpless now, guessing that his chances of finding you are low. Nevertheless, he can’t give up. He wouldn’t want to lose face, hence the stalemate. "

He paused for a moment before adding, "But privately, I’ve heard him say that he’s considering a more direct approach of sending soldiers to the Thunder Immortal Domain again. He guesses that you or someone on your behalf is keeping an eye on the Three-Saint Sect. We won’t be able to hide our moves from you. Perhaps this could force you to come out..."
