Chapter 2311: Chapter 2331: Bone-devouring Maggots, The Hunt Never Ends_1

When the coastline came into view, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

He had finally crossed the Endless Sea and reached the Northern Sea.

With a few steps treading on air, Lin Chen reached the shore and flew along the coastline for a while until he finally spotted a city.

After entering the city, Lin Chen bought a map and made some inquiries, eventually figuring out where he was.

According to the original route, he should have arrived at Mixiang City, located on the northern side of the Golden Route, aboard the Sea King. However, he had deviated by tens of thousands of miles and arrived at another small and unremarkable coastal city by the edge of the Endless Sea.

Spring River City.

It was named after the Spring River, a large river beside the city that flowed into the Endless Sea.

Mixiang City, being on the northern side of the Golden Route, is one of the three major trade route entrances between the Northern Sea and Eastern Brilliance, with a huge scale, numerous population, and bustling activity. In contrast, Spring River City, not relying on the maritime trade routes, was just a small coastal city that relied on the sea for livelihood.

Lin Chen looked over the map and felt that, although the location was remote, it was very unobtrusive, so he decided to stay there.

According to Xuanhezi and others who had contacted their Sect, someone was captured and the magical treasure used for disciples to find and contact each other had fallen into the hands of the attackers. It was very likely they would use it to trace Xuanhezi and the other two, so Lin Chen couldn’t let them leave the Linglong Tower.

Naturally, Lin Chen couldn’t take the three of them to the Blue God Sect; wouldn’t that be asking for trouble?

Lin Chen affixed a talisman on the mountainside outside the city, given to him by Xuanhezi, who claimed that an Elder from Wuling Mountain had instructed him to attach such a talisman so they would naturally find him, provided he stayed in a city on the north side of the Endless Sea by the sea.

If Lin Chen were to carry them around the world haphazardly, even the Sect Leader might not be able to find them.

So, all they could do was wait!

Lin Chen didn’t check into an inn; instead, he directly hid inside a rather luxurious residence, found a quiet and unoccupied room, and sat down cross-legged. He then cast the Life and Death Seal on himself, concealing his own vitality.

Lin Chen shut his eyes, becoming like a lifeless rock.

He had to be cautious, for the chasers were Daluo Initial Immortals!

During the previous assault where battles, domain forces, and surges of spiritual power were everywhere, magical treasures filled the sky, and numerous experts were present, Lin Chen was able to approach stealthily and then suddenly rescue people. But now, if the adversaries were fully committed to capturing him, as a clone, he could indeed die, but the Linglong Tower might not escape the notice of others.

While the Linglong Tower’s defenses were invincible, it also required a huge amount of spiritual Qi to sustain, as shown when it was hit hard by the woman in red clothes. Hence, it was Lin Chen’s clone that traversed the Endless Sea, not the Linglong Tower carrying him directly across.

In past encounters with powerful enemies, his escape was usually possible because his clone diverted their attention while the Linglong Tower broke away, either early on from a safe distance or had never actually been directly targeted.

If the Linglong Tower were truly targeted by a Daluo Initial Immortal and pursued relentlessly, it might not be able to escape.

After all, the Linglong Tower was just a Defense Treasure. Its power had indeed increased vastly because of Xi Jie, but it still depended on the strength of Lin Chen, its controller.

A day later, an old man wearing white clothes and a face mask, with a full head of silver hair and with hands clasped behind his back, walked leisurely into Spring River City.

He entered through the East City Gate and walked step by step towards the center of the city. Strangely enough, there were not a few people on the streets, yet it seemed as if they completely failed to see the old man.

The old man’s Divine Sense spread out like an electric wave, meticulously scanning every inch of land and every person within the city. Even the little dogs running on the ground, the chickens chirruping and eating grains, and the birds hopping in the trees couldn’t escape his perception.

The scanning of Divine Sense wasn’t fast, so by the time it approached Lin Chen, he was already aware of it.

Startled, Lin Chen’s figure flashed and he vanished from his original spot.

Earth Escape!

Lin Chen submerged himself into the earth, instantly sinking over a hundred meters deep. Not only that, but Lin Chen’s heart stopped beating, his blood stopped flowing, and there was no sign of life emanating from his body, as if he were a rock.

The Divine Sense swept over the place where Lin Chen had been, and he could even faintly feel it scanning dozens of meters underground, not far from where he was hiding. Fortunately, there was no pause, and it continued to press forward slowly.

Lin Chen was quite shocked in his heart. Such a minute scanning of Divine Sense, most likely could only be performed by a Great Luo God Immortal!

They had come after him!

Lin Chen was very surprised. Had he given himself away somehow?

While Lin Chen could keep on fleeing using Earth Escape, doing so would cause fluctuations in spiritual power, which might attract the opponent’s attention and lead to being discovered.

Lin Chen decided to do nothing.

He was a rock!

As long as he remained undetected, the other party would eventually leave, right?

Suddenly, Lin Chen felt somewhat relieved. It was good that he trusted his instincts by arriving in this city and not allowing the three of them to show themselves...
