Chapter 2697: Chapter 2717: Kong Ling is in the midst of comprehending, why don’t you keep him company?

"This place is no longer safe; they might still be watching us in the shadows. Find a way to evacuate everyone right away!"

Elder Guo Huai heard Lin Chen’s voice resound in his mind. Guo Huai hurriedly transmitted a secret reply: "There is an Array Formation for emergency escape in the Sect Hall, which can transport us to a distant place of safety. The attack came too fast earlier, giving us no time to activate it. We’re moving now!"

Lin Chen asked, "What about Kong Ling?"

Guo Huai replied, "Kong Ling is cultivating the Dragon Illusion God Technique in the secret chamber. He was originally going to be in Closed Door Cultivation for one month..."

Lin Chen said decisively, "He’s coming with me."

Guo Huai clearly understood that Lin Chen’s daring rescue was for a specific person. Now that the entire sect, from the Sect Master down to the common disciples, owed their lives to Lin Chen, it was hardly appropriate to discuss the Atlas or anything else. Besides, wasn’t the Sect Master by Lin Chen’s side?

"Alright!"

After Lin Chen made arrangements, he drifted away.

Having clearly stated that he was taking Qi Gongji away, even if Zhong Dechun was eyeing this place, she wouldn’t order the disciples to be killed anymore.

Without Qi Gongji, killing these disciples was pointless!

The survivors led by Guo Huai quickly organized everyone to retreat into the sect. They packed up all valuable items as fast as they could and ushered all disciples into the Main Hall. They left through the hidden emergency Array Formation, teleporting to a distant place.

Kong Ling was still sitting with his eyes closed in the secret chamber when suddenly the door opened.

Kong Ling opened his eyes in astonishment, puzzled.

Had one month passed already?

Hadn’t it been just a day or two? He hadn’t even mastered the technique yet, let alone visualized the Giant Sand Demon Snake Atlas.

What was going on?

Guo Huai didn’t go into details but solemnly instructed, "The Barbarian Tribe provoked us, and the sect nearly perished. It was only thanks to your friend Lin Chen that the entire sect was saved. Now everyone in the sect must relocate immediately. You have the Dragon Illusion God Technique and the Giant Sand Demon Snake Atlas, don’t you?"

Kong Ling was stunned by Guo Huai’s words.

Sect Annihilation?

Lin Chen turning the tide?

A Lower-grade Great Luo Immortal like Lin Chen had such ability?

Was it because of his status as a Battle Hall Disciple of the Myriad Immortal Hall?

No, previously he couldn’t even get a single old servant to give him face, let alone those who deliberately came to provoke and destroy the sect.

How had he done it?

Kong Ling couldn’t figure it out, but he knew now was not the time to ask questions. He nodded, "Yes..."

Just when Kong Ling thought Guo Huai was going to ask him to hand them over, Guo Huai said, "Keep them safe, don’t lose them, come with me!"

He wants me to keep them safe?

Kong Ling was shocked but said nothing more. He packed away the items and followed Guo Huai outside.

As soon as he entered the Main Hall, he caught sight of Lin Chen. Lin Chen smiled at him, "We’ll move first. Once we’re safe, we’ll talk."

Kong Ling didn’t waste words: "Okay!"

Everyone rapidly passed through the Array Formation. Due to the Illusory Serpent Sect’s small number, the evacuation was completed quickly.

When Guo Huai was the last to exit the Array Formation, he raised his hand and pressed it into the center, causing the Array Formation to instantly shatter into countless fragments.

Now, even if someone from the Illusory Serpent Sect Main Hall entered the Array Formation, they could no longer teleport to this location.

Seeing this, Lin Chen finally let out a sigh of relief.

They were completely safe at last!

The events of the day felt like a dream!

Lin Chen’s original plan was to have his avatar attract their attention while he took the opportunity to rescue Qi Gongji, then find out Kong Ling’s location and save him. However, he never expected such an unexpected turn of events.

He believed that Zhong Dechun would only be deceived for a short while and would soon come to her senses. That was why he had urged everyone to relocate immediately.

If they hadn’t had the Teleportation Formation to escape, then Lin Chen would have used the Qiqiao Hall to take everyone away. But since they were prepared, Lin Chen didn’t need to intervene.

Lin Chen released Qi Gongji, whom he had previously confined in the abyssal dark chamber of the Linglong Tower to prevent him from discovering its secrets.

If not for the fact that Qi Gongji had been severely beaten and seriously injured, Lin Chen wouldn’t have dared to confine him. After all, he was a Peak Great Luo Xian, and if he harbored any malicious intentions, neither Lin nor Xi Jie might have been able to stop him.

Qi Gongji had taken one hit and was half dead, and after another hit, he had lost nine-tenths of his life, suffering grievous injuries.

Qi Gongji was lying on the bed, looking at Lin Chen with complicated eyes.

"I never thought that it would be you who saved me in the end. Not only did you save me, but you also saved the entire Illusory Serpent Sect..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If I hadn’t come to the Illusory Serpent Sect, it probably wouldn’t have gotten into this trouble. Although I’ve done nothing wrong, this situation ultimately arose because of me. If I can lend a hand, I naturally will."

"To tell the truth, I didn’t expect to bluff her. My previous estimation was that at most I could save you and rescue Kong Ling, which would have been the best outcome. Who knew that woman would actually be frightened by me? This matter has a great deal to do with luck."

Qi Gongji sighed, "What you did before was to bring glory to our Illusory Serpent Sect, to fight for the honor of our demon race, with no wrongdoing at all. On the contrary, you’ve contributed to our cause. Now that you’ve saved everyone in the Illusory Serpent Sect, it is a great kindness."

After a pause, Qi Gongji pointed to Kong Ling, "Kong Ling is Comprehending the Dragon Illusion God Technique and needs to cultivate in solitude for one month. If you’re not in a hurry, you might stay and keep him company..."
