Chapter 2308: Chapter 2328: That Kid is a Bit Fishy_1

"Can you contact your people?"

Wu Jie frowned slightly and remained silent, turning to look at the other two.

Xuanqing mused, "We can contact them, but..."

"Don’t contact them for now!"

Xuanhezi decisively said, "We can confirm that this operation was targeted at us, and their current situation is unknown. If we rashly make contact, there might be a risk of exposure."

"We’ve paid such a heavy price to escape. If we recklessly reach out, only to have our whereabouts exposed again and be pursued anew, this time, we definitely won’t be able to escape."

Xuanqing nodded in agreement, "Yes, that’s also my thinking. Since we are heading to the Northern Sea anyway, we aren’t far from there now. We can go to the Northern Sea first, find a safe place, report the situation to the Sect, and then make further plans."

Wu Jie held his palm upright in agreement, "That is also my intention. It’s not that we fear death, but dying without value. Moreover, they are targeting us, which is certainly not as simple as just wanting to kill the three of us. There must be further plans on their part."

Xuanhezi looked at Lin Chen, explaining, "The identities of the attackers are unknown; they could be from the Sea God Sect, fearing that they would lose to us in the exchange, so they ambushed us midway. If we die, the competition naturally can’t continue. Similarly, those who ambushed us could be others, framing the Sea God Sect to incite conflict between us, gaining benefits from the chaos."

"As long as we are alive, their plans will fail. As for avenging the death of our Sect Elders and senior brothers, the Sect will naturally handle that. Each of them had the strength of a Daluo Initial Immortal, and they all revealed their abilities, leaving behind clues."

Lin Chen spread his hands, "No need to explain to me, I was just asking about your plans. Since you aren’t planning to contact them, then just stay inside the tower. My tower can block out the outside world. Even if they have obtained your Sect’s communication treasures, they won’t be able to find you."

The three exchanged glances, then simultaneously thanked, "Then we are in your debt, Friend Lin."

Although the three of them had their own means, they dared not claim they could escape the pursuit of a Daluo Initial Immortal. Not to mention, each of them had suffered a severe blow, and it was already a stroke of luck that they hadn’t perished. For the time being, they had no ability to take action.

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s no trouble at all. After all, I also need to go to the Northern Sea. Since it’s on the way, the only issue now is the lack of direction. We may have to take some detours and waste some more time."

Xuanqing sighed, "Given what has happened, we must temporarily put aside the visit. No matter what, let’s head north first. Once we are out of the Sea Fury Zone and have contacted the Sect, we can make further plans."

Lin Chen nodded and scanned the three of them, "About your injuries..."

"They’re not a problem."

Xuanqing replied, "Although we’re pretty badly injured, each of us has medicinal pills for healing. With some time to recuperate, we should recover."

"Good!"

Lin Chen summoned the Linglong Tower, took the three back inside, rested briefly, and then resumed the journey.

Not long after Lin Chen’s departure, three figures appeared on the horizon and then descended onto the iceberg where Lin Chen had been—a trio from the most formidable team that had launched the previous night’s attack.

The man in black looked around, "They’ve been here."

The woman in red held a Magical Treasure engraved with the Bagua Diagram. She infused it with spiritual power, and the treasure burst into golden light. However, the pointer in the center of the treasure remained still.

"We can’t track them; they must have hidden in that tower again. That tower can block any tracking and sensing, and it even withstood a hit from my Bell. Its origins must be extraordinary..."

The man in black frowned, "I clearly killed that kid once, but he didn’t die."

"Avatar Ability."

The White-haired Elder spoke succinctly, "He possesses the extremely rare Avatar Ability, typically found in certain Demonic Beasts, a part of their Bloodline Divine Power. How this kid managed to cultivate it is beyond me."

The man in black was silent for a few seconds, "That must be it. Even a Daluo Initial Immortal would find it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake with the Avatar Ability, especially since we know nothing about him and lack his true body as a reference, making it impossible to discern the truth."

The woman in red chuckled coldly, "This kid is definitely tricky. Didn’t the people we captured say that Master Floating Cloud wanted to take him as a disciple and yet he refused? With Master Floating Cloud’s discernment, would he take interest in an ordinary person?"

The man in black spoke coldly, "Our plan was flawless, but it fell apart because of this kid’s interference. They have managed to escape and are still so cautious. It seems they are also guarding against us using the captured Three Sects’ Treasures to find them. Catching them again will likely be difficult."

The woman in red laughed lightly, "Indeed, we failed, but not completely. The Three Sects suffered considerable losses this time. There will surely be turbulence ahead. They are in the light; we are in the shadow. There will always be opportunities."

The White-haired Elder sighed, "There’s no other choice but to proceed this way. However, I still want to pursue them to the north. Who knows, they might let their guard down once they get to the north, right?"
