Chapter 2239: Chapter 2259: Octopus, Such a Big Octopus!_1

Lin Chen was quite familiar with Qi Bingbing, and all her show of intense affection was fake, harboring ulterior motives of her own.

She flirted with Lu Dingwu and Han Zhaosheng at the same time, claiming each was her true love, but when Han Zhaosheng died, she didn’t show the slightest hint of sadness.

She simply didn’t care.

Or rather, the only thing she cared about was herself.

Lin Chen treated Qi Bingbing’s eager flattery with aloofness. After all, the prouder he acted, the more it suited the persona he was currently presenting, and once he dropped this cold facade, Qi Bingbing would certainly take the opportunity to inquire about many matters related to True Person Tai Xu, none of which he knew a damn thing about.

Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran watched Qi Bingbing’s various actions towards Lin Chen, cursing her inwardly. Qi Wuchang was truly despicable; to close the gap with Lin Chen, he actually let his granddaughter employ a honey trap!

Shameless!

Along the way, several people tried to probe indirectly, while Lin Chen gave non-committal responses. Since the others didn’t dare to ask overly intrusive questions, there wasn’t much risk of exposure.

Lin Chen concocted a story for himself, that he was born in a small place and by chance, was taken under the wing of True Person Tai Xu, who, despite officially listing him as a servant, actually cultivated him like a disciple, and rarely let him leave the house, so he didn’t know much about the outside world.

This backstory highlighted his status not just as a servant, and also emphasized his lack of knowledge about the outside world, so he knew nothing about the answers to your questions!

That day, as the group was moving forward, a radiance suddenly appeared from afar, hurtling towards Qi Wuchang with great speed.

Qi Wuchang frowned and extended his hand, catching the radiance instantly—it was a Distress Talisman, glowing brightly.

Upon scanning the Talisman with his Divine Sense, Qi Wuchang’s expression darkened. He turned to Lin Chen and said, "Friend Lin, a disciple of my sect is trapped, I must go to the rescue."

Lin Chen readily nodded, "Let’s go together."

Qi Wuchang sighed with relief, "Good!"

Qi Wuchang looked at Zhong Shuyu and Su Yanran, and upon exchanging glances, they said in unison, "We’ll go too, to lend a hand."

Qi Wuchang certainly knew what they were thinking, but as saving lives was urgent as fighting fires, there was no time for delay now.

After all, he was part of the senior management of Qingcheng Garden, and it was his responsibility to protect the Sect Disciples.

The fact that the Distress Talisman had reached his hand meant that it wasn’t just any Outer Sect Disciple in peril, but rather an Inner Sect core disciple or even a True Inheritance Disciple—individuals the sect future valued highly and needed to prioritize.

With a sweep of his sleeve, Qi Wuchang enveloped Qi Bingbing and the others with an invisible force, for their pace was too slow, and he prepared to lead them forward with him.

Lin Chen refused the offer to be carried along and, using the Reducing Land to Inches technique, instantly teleported a hundred miles ahead, eliciting a look of admiration from Qi Wuchang and the others.

As expected of someone from True Person Tai Xu’s side, even a servant possessed such an exceptional body technique.

The group turned into several streaks of light, heading towards the direction pinpointed by the Distress Talisman.

Suddenly, they pulled up at the signal’s location, not in desolate mountains or a deep canyon, but in a water area that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The water was a dark green color, and when scanned with Divine Sense, was inexplicably obstructed, able to penetrate only about a thousand meters before it couldn’t go any further. A thousand meters down it was still the vast empty water region, with no bottom in sight.

Zhong Shuyu surveyed their surroundings, "Where’s the person who called for help? Could it be that they’ve already..."

Zhong Shuyu didn’t finish his sentence, but everyone guessed what he meant, and their expressions grew serious.

A water area that could block the Divine Sense of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal was surely special, and such a vast area was unlikely to be devoid of Magical Beasts.

"Boom!"

Just as the group was perplexed, a deep thunderous noise came from the water surface, which then violently erupted with a large cluster of water sprays, as if the water had started to boil, churning ceaselessly.

"There’s a fight happening underwater."

Before the words fell, a Sword Qi from the depths of the water shot up into the sky.

"I’m going down to rescue."

Qi Wuchang dove towards the water surface, which naturally parted to create a passage for him to swiftly descend.

Shortly after, a huge collision came from below, shaking the entire water area violently. Huge waves rose on the surface, rippling back and forth uncontrollably, as countless Magical Beasts leaped from the depths, scrambling on the surface, and many even flew out of the water, seeming to panic and flee.

"The fight has begun!"

Zhong Shuyu looked at the water surface, frowning, "It seems there’s a formidable Magical Beast beneath this water area..."

Lin Chen asked, "Qi fellow cultivator is powerful; he should be able to handle it, right?"

Su Yanran’s expression was grave, "The collision from below is very strong and continuous; it might not be that easy."

While the group discussed, the water suddenly split apart, and three figures flew out from beneath. Based on the clothes they wore, they were clearly Inner Sect Disciples from Qingyuan City.

The three of them were pale, with unmistakable terror in their eyes as well as the relief of having survived a catastrophe.

Su Yanran inquired, "What’s the situation down there?"

The three looked at each other, faces full of fear, and spoke in unison, "An octopus! A huge octopus!"
