Chapter 2686: Chapter 2706: The Barbarian King’s Grandson is Dead?
"Friend Lin, what’s the deal with the last dozen or so people?"
Qi Gongji stared at Lin Chen, his gaze direct, "Why do I feel like the effect of that explosion was similar to the Illusory Realm of the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Technique?"
Lin Chen was quite surprised, Shouldn’t you be asking Lü Wenjing about this first? Why are you grilling me?
When the demon race’s team discussed these matters, they naturally wouldn’t activate a projection. Otherwise, if the other party had some special means of communication, and the plan got exposed, wouldn’t that leave our group baffled?
That’s why all the onlookers didn’t know about this plan before, and even after the plan was executed, they were still utterly confused.
Those who won didn’t know how they won, and those who lost didn’t know how they lost.
What were those explosive talismans, and where did they come from?
And who were those dozen or so people, dressed like they were wearing masks, calmly facing their deaths?
Lin Chen curiously asked, "Sect Master, shouldn’t you be asking the Saint Child about this?"
Qi Gongji watched Lin Chen for a few seconds, then suddenly spoke, "It seems my guess is true. It’s said that Wenjing was obsessed with Refinement for a while. Those explosive talismans were probably made by him using his Divine Power."
This was no secret and would be revealed afterward, so Lin Chen nodded with composure, "Yes."
Qi Gongji sighed with relief, "That’s good then!"
That’s good?
Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment but then understood Qi Gongji’s concern. If the explosive materials had an effect similar to the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art and were created by the Saint Child using Divine Power, then there would be no issue. However, if some other sect had created them, it would definitely not be good news for the Illusory Serpent Sect.
Qi Gongji asked again, "What about those dozen or so people?"
Lin Chen responded frankly, "They were avatars I released."
"Avatars?"
Qi Gongji looked at Lin Chen with an odd expression, his face lighting up with realization, "I see, no wonder they were all unafraid of death. Friend Lin, your abilities are truly remarkable!"
Lin Chen said with a modest laugh, "You flatter me, Sect Master."
Qi Gongji’s expression became slightly complex, "Have you done so much just to help that friend named Kong Ling?"
Lin Chen smiled, "Yes, he hoped to have the qualifications to learn the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art, and I just gave him a hand."
Qi Gongji nodded, but his eyes carried a trace of doubt, "This is a personal act on your part, right, Friend Lin?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen understood Qi Gongji’s concerns and laughed, "That’s natural. If Myriad Immortal Hall were truly interested in the Illusory Serpent Sect’s Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art, they wouldn’t have sent a minor character like me here..."
Qi Gongji relaxed a bit and chuckled, "That’s not what I meant... Um, I was just confirming."
Lin Chen laughed, "But to speak honestly, Sect Master Qi, I personally am quite interested in the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art. As an outsider, do I have the opportunity to learn it?"
Qi Gongji’s face darkened slightly, and without hesitation, he shook his head, "It’s naturally impossible for outsiders. However, with Friend Lin’s strength and capabilities, if you were willing to join our Illusory Serpent Sect, you certainly wouldn’t need much time to qualify to learn the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art."
Yo, now you’re trying to poach from Myriad Immortal Hall.
Lin’s heart chuckled. If you knew that I was opposing Myriad Immortal Hall, and that if they found out, they’d likely want to kill me, you certainly wouldn’t be saying this.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Let’s talk about that later."
Although Lin Chen valued the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art, he would not join the Illusory Serpent Sect just to gain access to it.
Let Kong Ling give it a try first, see if he can learn it, and then see if there’s an opportunity to procure it from him.
If that fails, so be it. There are countless Cultivation Techniques in the Immortal Realm, and the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art isn’t the only Superb Earth Attribute Technique.
"I’m going to check on my friend. Sect Master, see you!"
"Good!"
Having left Qi Gongji, Lin Chen quickly found Shang Wenyin and Kong Ling, who were looking around in search of him.
Lin Chen pulled the two aside and handed all the badges directly to Kong Ling.
"You know my situation, the less attention the better. You can settle the rest, all my contributions are yours, have Lü Wenjing claim the external rewards for us, and you take the internal merits for yourself. I think this should be enough for you to qualify to learn the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art."
Kong Ling nodded, "Okay, I won’t say thanks. Just know, once I get what I need, I’ll fully support you in achieving your aspirations."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No problem. You get busy with that, I won’t meddle in what comes next. Just tell Lü Wenjing to cover for me if there’s anything."
"Good!"
Lin Chen and Shang Wenyin slipped back to the Illusory Serpent Sect’s Temporary Camp, waiting for the conclusion of this affair.
It wasn’t long before Kong Ling hurried in, a serious look on his face.
Lin Chen looked up and saw his grim face without a trace of joy, and frowned, "What happened?"
Kong Ling said gravely, "There’s been an accident, the grandson of the Barbarian King is dead!"
The Barbarian King?
Wasn’t that the Southern Wilderness Quasi-Saint Zhen Liuxue talked about?
Lin Chen’s eyes widened, "Who is his grandson, and where did he die?"
