Chapter 2579: Chapter 2599: Carry your own cross, stick to the path until the end!

"White bones forging a throne?"

The old crone’s eyes revealed a hint of pleasant surprise, "You seem to understand quite thoroughly. Alright, for that remark, I’ll permit you to write a letter to your Master, but you must carefully consider the content of that letter yourself."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up as he nodded resolutely, "Senior, rest assured, I will only mention severing ties and will not reveal anything about Senior."

The old hag sneered, "You better think this through. I was originally planning to drag the Dragon Mountain Sect into this mess, but I find you interesting, so I made an exception to allow you to do this. If you’re harboring any ulterior motives, even if you can run away, Mount Longhu cannot, so don’t blame me for not warning you first."

Lin Chen replied calmly, "I have no relationship with the Myriad Immortals Hall, so opposing them doesn’t bother me. They are just a bit stronger, that’s all. If I really can’t defeat them, I’ll just run away. If I can’t escape, then I die, that’s it."

The old crone stared into Lin Chen’s eyes with an electric intensity. Lin Chenxin thought openly, returning her gaze calmly and fearlessly.

Resisting the Myriad Immortals Hall was certainly not a good choice, but Lin Chen had no other option at the moment.

This powerful and mysteriously originated old hag had clearly taken an interest in him. Even if he wanted to run, he couldn’t, First, it was too dangerous and escape might not be possible. Second, you can run away, but the temple can’t escape. If she truly went mad and targeted the Dragon Mountain Sect, with the strength she had displayed, the sect wouldn’t be able to withstand the assault.

Even if Master Floating Cloud was a top powerhouse, facing the profoundly mysterious Time Divine Ability, to even escape by luck would be considered good fortune, let alone a victory.

I have to bear my own burdens!

Since he was forced to follow this old hag, he might have to do even more in the future, becoming even more "corrupted," so he might as well cut ties with the Dragon Mountain Sect sooner rather than later.

Based on Lin Chen’s understanding of Master Floating Cloud, Master Floating Cloud might not believe his words of severing ties, he would certainly know that he was forced into it by some circumstances. But if one day the Myriad Immortals Hall questioned the Dragon Mountain Sect, at least this evidence could serve as a testimony. Of course, whether the Myriad Immortals Hall believed it or whether it was useful, that was an unknown.

"Good, as long as you understand it in your heart!"

The old hag retracted her gaze and said in a flat tone, "Record it yourself. You can hire someone in the next town to send it back."

Lin Chen gave a cupped fist thank you, "Thank you, Senior!"

"My surname is Zhen. Just call me Cave Master."

After saying this, the old hag sat down cross-legged on the ship and closed her eyes.

Cave Master?

Normally, people who are referred to in this way either belong to an organization like XX Cave or they simply own a private Cave Mansion, and all the people in the Cave Mansion would refer to their Master with the title of Cave Master.

I am now somewhat considered her subordinate,

Lin Chen turned his head and exchanged a glance with Shang Wenyin. They both let out a quiet sigh of relief.

This crisis was temporarily over.

"Are you really going to leave the Dragon Mountain Sect?"

Lin Chen curved his lips and replied through a mental message, "I have no choice. Better to sever connections early and avoid bringing disaster to the Dragon Mountain Sect. They’ve been good to me; I can’t implicate them."

Shang Wenyin pursed her lips, "Are you really going to follow her and go against the Myriad Immortals Hall?"

Lin Chen answered, "We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We’re weak, after all. As long as we’re alive, there’s a way out. If we can’t stay in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, we might as well go to another Immortal Domain."

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen winked, "We could always go find True Person Tai Xu in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain or Shepherd Heavenly Monarch in the Crimson Immortal Domain. Even if there’s trouble, as long as we have the protection of these two big shots, even the Myriad Immortals Hall Master might not be able to do anything to us."

Shang Wenyin spoke softly, "But we have to leave the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain alive first."

Lin Chen sighed silently, "At this moment, we don’t have the luxury of choice."

Shang Wenyin fixed her eyes on Lin Chen, "If she orders us to go against some sect and kill those people who have no grudges against you or me, will you do it?"

Lin Chen remained silent for a moment, not answering.

Shang Wenyin didn’t ask further.

They looked at each other, understanding the meaning behind each other’s expressions.

Passing through a city, Lin Chen recorded a Shadow Image in front of the unknown-origin Zhen Cave Master, and then, in her presence, he hired someone in the city’s trade organization to deliver the Image Recording Stone. They were to send the Image Recording Stone to the Northern Sea Dragon Mountain Sect Branch and hand it to Master Floating Cloud.

Setting out again, Lin Chen adjusted his mentality, now considering himself a subordinate of the mysterious Zhen Cave Master.

"Cave Master, where are we heading? Are we continuing westward?"

"Yes!"

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, "Cave Master, I noticed you have many War Slaves. Did you buy them?"

Zhen Cave Master answered indifferently, "Why do you ask?"

Lin Chen clarified his purpose, "Just asking. If you’re very knowledgeable about this yourself, I would like to inquire about the Divine Soul Separation Technique. Prior to taking the merchant ship, I was planning to go to the Soul Association in Black Soul City to find out more about the Divine Soul Separation Technique."

Zhen Cave Master stared into Lin Chen’s eyes, "The Divine Soul Separation Technique? I know it."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened with unexpected joy.

He hadn’t even made it to the Soul Association yet, and by a twist of fate, he became a subordinate of someone else. Not only did this person possess the incredibly powerful Time Divine Ability, but she also had a deep understanding of souls, even knowing the Divine Soul Separation Technique!
