Chapter 2393: Chapter 2413: The atmosphere within your group doesn’t seem very harmonious, does it?

"Ghost True Man poisoned you?"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised, "Isn’t he your master?"

With his Sea of Knowledge sealed by Master Floating Cloud, Lou Zihan replied with a resentful expression, "I am named his disciple, but in actuality, I am just his slave. He poisoned me because he was afraid I would flee from him. After all, I am the servant he has used for the longest time and am the most handy."

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Besides you, are there others?"

Lou Zihan nodded, "From what I’ve seen, he has taken in five disciples in total, both male and female. We are nominally his disciples, but we are actually his slaves, killing and plundering treasures for him and seizing cultivation resources. The female disciples have it even worse; aside from completing the various tasks he assigns, they also serve as his tools for sexual gratification."

"None of us were raised by him from a young age. We all had great talent and strength above the Da Luo realm as loose cultivators. After controlling our lives, he made us become his disciples. He used poison to control us and taught us evil techniques, making our strength progress rapidly, but we were left with many potential troubles."

"The other four have all died one after the other. Now only I remain. He keeps very tight control over me. Before he sent me to Moon God Island to kill Lin Chen, I asked him for the antidote, and he only gave me half a pill... "

Lin Chen suddenly understood; no wonder Lou Zihan sold out Ghost True Man the moment he begged for mercy.

Not only did he want to kill Ghost True Man, so did this Ghost Young Master.

Lin Chen asked, "Where is he?"

Lou Zihan answered, "The last time he summoned me was shortly after you injured him. He had recovered his body, but his strength had greatly diminished. I suppose he must have entered the Holy Spring Secret Realm to heal."

Master Floating Cloud frowned, "Where is the Holy Spring Secret Realm?"

"Holy Spring Island."

Lou Zihan answered, "The Holy Spring Secret Realm is an openly accessible secret realm that anyone can enter; however, it contains many perilous areas. My master has entered the Holy Spring Secret Realm many times because he found a unique place inside where the healing effects are excellent. Every time he was injured, he went there to heal, and he would recover very quickly."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up and he turned to look at Master Floating Cloud, "Master, haven’t you been injured as well? Wouldn’t this kill two birds with one stone?"

Master Floating Cloud was also somewhat tempted. He executed the Mount Long Secret Technique, which had serious side effects, and had been gravely injured from pushing himself too hard. Although the Ling Buddha Pill had made him feel much better, a complete recovery would still take a long time.

Who would want to spend all their time healing?

And who wouldn’t welcome a way to heal quickly?

Master Floating Cloud inquired, "Can you find that place?"

"Once I was gravely injured, almost ruined, and he didn’t want me to waste time healing, so he took me inside. I generally know the direction, but I need to be inside to know for sure."

Lin Chen looked at Master Floating Cloud, "If Ghost True Man has already gone inside to heal, his injuries must have already recovered a lot. Should we call others to join us?"

Master Floating Cloud thought for a moment, "Call Liuyun, and bring Xuanhe."

Xuanhe, having fought Shangguan Wenyin, also used the Mount Long Secret Technique. Although he won, he was severely injured and was in a recuperative state like Master Floating Cloud.

Even if Master Floating Cloud was injured, along with Liuyun, even if they encountered Ghost True Man, they would definitely have no problem. Once they found the place, they could have Xuanhe and Master Floating Cloud heal. They would both eliminate a menace and heal their people, killing two birds with one stone.

"Alright, let’s head back to camp first."

Lin Chen took Ghost Young Master into the Linglong Tower and returned to camp with his master.

Master Floating Cloud had someone inquire briefly, confirmed the existence of the Holy Spring Secret Realm, and after discussing with Liuyun, they prepared to set off.

The place where Ghost True Man was healing was very secluded and belonged to a unique healing sanctuary of Ghost True Man, so Master Floating Cloud and others kept a low profile.

If there are advantages, one’s own sect should certainly seize them first. After all, although the Three Sects are allies, they are also competitors.

This matter was of no use to the three women, so Lin Chen had them stay at the Dragon Mountain Sect Camp.

The next morning, as Lin Chen and others were about to set off, a disciple guarding the gate suddenly reported.

"Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, Shangguan Wenyin, is visiting and says he wishes to see Martial Uncle Lin."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Compared to the fake one, this true one acts much more openly."

Lin Chen went outside the camp and met Shangguan Wenyin, who was alone.

"Fellow cultivator Shangguan, long time no see."

Shangguan Wenyin smiled, "Yes, it’s been a long time. Are you well?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Pretty good... I heard you are preparing to return home?"

"Yes, so I came to talk to you."

Shangguan Wenyin stretched out his left hand and laughed, "Take a walk?"

"Okay!"

The two of them walked leisurely, heading towards the distance.

Lin Chen took the initiative to apologize, "The last time I came to visit you, it was quite the bad timing, adding a lot of trouble for you, right?"

Shangguan Wenyin replied carefreely with a laugh, "Just a coincidence. Actually, whether or not you came, things would’ve been the same."

Lin Chen asked, "The Vice Sect Hierarch refuses to take responsibility, so he threw the blame of losing the competition onto you, making you the scapegoat?"

Shangguan Wenyin nodded, "Yes."

Lin Chen exclaimed, "The atmosphere within your Sea God Sect seems rather discordant..."
