Chapter 2262: Chapter 2282: Top Big Shot Carrying the Game, Super Thrilling!_1

Accompanying guests?

The Three Sects’ powerhouses all expressed their doubts, but they dared not ask further.

Although there were many powerhouses here, there was not a single Daluo Initial Immortal among them; for the Starry Sky Demon Beast capable of contending with the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, they still did not dare to provoke it without reason.

Lin Chen looked down at the gigantic shadow hidden beneath the surface of the water and smiled, "My fellow cultivators, the sword of Shepherd Heavenly Monarch has been reclaimed by Chi Zai. He will return it to the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch. Although this place is considered the origin of the world’s magical beasts, with Chi Zai having left, there is no longer any value in exploring it. If anyone doesn’t believe me, you are welcome to explore it yourselves."

The expressions of the people were all subtly complex—after making such a fuss, was this the result?

Was this trip in vain?

Lin Chen saluted the crowd, "My fellow cultivators, I take my leave!"

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, his gaze swept across the crowd behind him, and his steps momentarily paused.

The man beside Qi Bingbing—wasn’t that the silent Bai Yunfei?

He had come here too!

At this moment, Bai Yunfei still wore the appearance of Lu Dingwu, under the identity of an Outer Sect Disciple of Qingyuan City. Looking at Lin Chen, his gaze was subtle.

When he had arrived, he had inquired about "Han Zhaosheng" from Qi Bingbing. Learning that Han Zhaosheng had died in the spatial rift of the Yin-Yang Spring, he was quite shocked. Lin Chen had died just like that?

Qi Bingbing immediately spoke about Lin Chen, who had emerged from the Folded Space as True Person Tai Xu. Overjoyed but puzzled, Bai Yunfei wondered how, in the blink of an eye, he had become a servant of True Person Tai Xu?

Lin Chen was really laying it on thick with his lies, and what’s more, he had managed to fool everyone present!

Lin Chen’s move of using one thing to masquerade as another was indeed beautiful!

Before he could finish his thoughts, Bai Yunfei heard that Lin Chen had dived into the water and, in his moment of showing off, was chased by numerous magical beasts leading to his complete disappearance, supposedly dead beneath the water.

Bai Yunfei refused to believe that Lin Chen had died!

Having spent time with Lin Chen, Bai Yunfei felt that although he was incredibly bold, he was very careful and cautious in his actions. If he wasn’t sure, would he recklessly seek death?

He who keeps the green mountain does not fear running out of firewood—this principle Lin Chen would surely understand.

Bai Yunfei wondered if Lin Chen had used the cover of the underwater Demonic Qi to secretly slip away, only to be surprised that half a year later, Lin Chen had made a splendid return, transforming into the one destined for Chi Zai, the teaching subject of the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch?

That was too exaggerated, wasn’t it?

To say he was lying, the terrifying shadow beneath the water couldn’t be deceived; to say it was true, it was too implausible.

First True Person Tai Xu, and then Shepherd Heavenly Monarch—could it be that Lin Chen was the Son of Luck, the favorite of the Heavenly Dao?

Lin Chen gave a wave in this direction and drifted away.

Qi Bingbing’s face lit up with joy, "He waved to me!"

Bai Yunfei turned to glance at Qi Bingbing, secretly laughing to himself—he was well aware that Lin Chen was actually greeting him. Obviously, he could say nothing in front of all these eyes, and even secret voice transmission was likely to be intercepted, so he simply waved his hand to signal.

Watching Lin Chen’s departing figure, a smile flickered in Bai Yunfei’s eyes.

He had learned the Way of the Sword Talisman and made connections with the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch; this was a massive opportunity already.

He had his gains, and he certainly couldn’t have come here for nothing!

He shifted his attention to the powerful leaders of the expedition, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

He had already chosen his target!

Now he was just waiting for a fitting opportunity to strike.

...

Although Chi Zai had promised to deliver the sword for the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, he was not in a rush to leave.

His injuries were not light, and even though it was unlikely that the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch would strike at him again, he decided to heal his injuries before meeting the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch.

Chi Zai accompanied Lin Chen in a wild, chaotic journey throughout the entire world, searching for the Void Lotus Herb. On one hand, it served as payment for Lin Chen saving him; on the other, it provided him time to recover from his injuries.

Lin Chen concocted several batches of medicinal pills for Chi Zai to heal his wounds, and with these pills, Chi Zai’s recovery sped up significantly.

For half a year, the two wandered together; in that time, they had run through the entire world. Thanks to Chi Zai’s unique sensitivity, once the Void Lotus Herb entered his detection range, there was no escaping. No matter how formidable the beasts guarding the Void Lotus Herb were, Chi Zai merely had to let out a gentle roar and they would either scurry away in a most wretched and embarrassed state or start shivering, pressed to the ground, daring not to move.

Lin Chen had been on many adventures in his life, but none had ever been as easy as this one.

Being led by a top-tier big shot felt incredibly thrilling!

After half a year, Lin Chen had reaped a bountiful harvest, most importantly of which were the twenty-seven Void Lotus Herbs; a number that would make Qingcheng Garden, Lingmiao Mountain, and Baique Sect collectively envious!

"Alright, kid, I’ve accompanied you throughout this realm and found so many Void Lotus Herbs. I’ve paid my debt for saving me. Now that my injuries are almost healed, it’s time for me to go. Let’s part ways here!"
