Chapter 2840: Chapter 2860: Covered and concealed, can’t be seen?

Facing Lin Chen’s reminder, Zhen Liuxue smiled faintly.

"Don’t worry, with me here, he won’t injure you in the slightest."

Lin Chen immediately felt relieved and said with a laugh, "Thank you, Senior."

Zhen Liuxue smiled faintly, "What are you being polite for? This is what you deserve."

The hood masked the black-robed person’s face, but everyone could feel that he was staring intently at Zhen Liuxue, his murderous intent rising continuously.

"I’d like to see for myself whether you can withstand me!"

The aura around the black-robed person surged wildly. He pointed at the Green Ancient Bell, which emitted a halo that rapidly spread towards them, followed by a greenish haze that seemed elusive but felt extremely dangerous.

Domain Force!

Lin Chen immediately understood. The black-robed person was frantically unleashing Domain Force, attempting to suppress Zhen Liuxue with it. Once the domain was suppressed, Divine Powers would be difficult to deploy and their power significantly reduced.

This was fundamentally challenging Zhen Liuxue. If her strength wasn’t greater than his and her Domain Force was suppressed, then the Time Divine Ability would also not be as miraculous, leaving no room for countermeasures.

Zhen Liuxue frowned slightly. The Time Divine Ability was profoundly mysterious, being one of the most enigmatic among Divine Powers. However, no matter how mysterious, it couldn’t circumvent the principles of Divine Powers.

If the domain was suppressed, then the Time Divine Ability would be difficult to deploy, making her extremely passive.

Zhen Liuxue crossed her hands, and her aura suddenly changed. Invisible ripples centered on their location spread out like ripples, reaching all around.

Zhen Liuxue did not recklessly expand her domain; she merely protected the surroundings of the group, guarding everyone.

The greenish halo frantically tried to invade the invisible waves. However, though the waves were formless, they possessed a magical ability: as wave after wave of halo crashed into them, it was as if they vanished into the river of time, disappearing without a trace.

Meanwhile, the radiance of Gong Jianying’s Token grew ever more intense.

The clash of Domain Forces continued for several breaths. Although the halo had approached very close to the people, it was blocked by the ripples and could not advance any further.

The black-robed person grew impatient and once again summoned his black stick, striking down with a force that seemed to destroy the heavens and obliterate the earth.

The invisible ripples around Zhen Liuxue suddenly surged like a flooded river, directly rushing towards the black stick.

Perhaps because the collision of Domain Forces had drained most of Zhen Liuxue’s energy, this time, the black stick didn’t just disappear but fiercely struck down.

A curious thing happened: despite the enormous might of the stick impacting the ripples, as the ripples continuously broke apart, the vast energy associated with the black stick also constantly collapsed.

Although the strike was incredibly powerful, it couldn’t unleash its inherent force, resembling a beast trapped in a mud pit, possessing ferocious power yet unable to display it.

Seeing this, the black-robed figure waved his hand to recall the black stick, glanced at Lin Chen, and turned to leave.

He had already tested the waters; although the opponent hadn’t attacked him, the defense was watertight. If he wanted to determine a winner against his foe, it would likely only boil down to a war of attrition.

However, he couldn’t afford to spend the time. After all, this wasn’t his home ground. Once his identity was exposed, endless trouble and danger would ensue. Most importantly, how could he complete his mission if he became a target?

However, just as he was about to start moving, the void above the people suddenly rippled, and then, as if a canvas was being torn apart, Wen Mengsheng stepped through.

Upon seeing Wen Mengsheng arrive, Gong Jianying’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he exclaimed with joy, "Senior brother, this black-robed figure is a Quasi-Saint; he intends to kill us!"

Wen Mengsheng saw that both Gong Jianying and Lin Chen were unharmed, his face slightly relaxed, but his originally gentle eyes suddenly became sharp.

The black-robed person, seeing the rescue team, turned around without a word and left!

Wen Mengsheng said coldly, "Your Excellency seems to be hiding something, are you not fit to be seen? Why not stay and chat a bit?"

The black-robed person ignored Wen Mengsheng, turned his head, and ran; Wen Mengsheng transformed into golden light, disappearing instantly, leaving his words floating in midair.

"I’ll be right back, I’ll come to find you later."

The black-robed person and Wen Mengsheng vanished in an instant, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They had finally survived.

Although Su Hao and Dai Yunshen were both Peak Great Luo Xian, they had never encountered such dangerous situations; after all, those of the Quasi-Saint status were well-known figures, who would attack them senselessly?

Even if their help was needed in refinement, it was always given respectfully, so who would directly kidnap for extortion, threaten to assist in refinement, and then try to kill them to seal their lips?

Zhen Liuxue retracted her hand, lifted it to look at it, a joyful expression on her face.

Seeing this, Lin Chen asked happily, "Senior, have you recovered quite well?"

Zhen Liuxue nodded, "Better than I expected. Give me some more time; apart from regaining my physical peak state, I might even improve my control over time."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s really a good thing, congratulations, Senior."

Zhen Liuxue turned her head to look at Lin Chen, smiling gently, "I should thank you. Without you, I would have been long dead, or even if not dead, I’d just be a wrinkled old woman, certainly not in the condition I am today."

Su Hao and Dai Yunshen, listening to the conversation between the two, looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.

This peerlessly beautiful Quasi-Saint was actually residing in Lin Chen’s magical treasure, accompanying him all the way, and she was saying that her life was all thanks to Lin Chen?

Lin Chen, this kid, was really keeping a low profile!

This kid being valued by True Person Tai Xu was not without reason.

Originally, they thought he was just a talented newcomer appreciated by True Person Tai Xu, but now it seems it might not be that simple.

Their lives this time were saved entirely thanks to Lin Chen; if it hadn’t been for this beautiful Quasi-Saint, even if they had escaped, they would not have avoided death.

"Xinghe Sect Sect Master Su Hao, thank you, fellow cultivator, for saving our lives!"

"Deputy Sect Master of Skyfire Sect, Dai Yunshen, should you need anything in the future, I will do my utmost."

Zhen Liuxue waved her hand and said, "Don’t thank me, thank Lin Chen. It’s he who saved my life, and now I’m just repaying a debt."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You two seniors need not be so formal. You are my teachers, not outsiders. We’ve been in the same boat; don’t blame me for not mentioning this earlier, but Senior Zhen was injured before and has been recovering. The more we delayed, the more her injuries healed..."

Su Ho and Dai Yuansheng nodded in understanding; they were just thankful to be alive, so who would complain?

Su Hao, recalling his earlier conversation with the black-robed person, furrowed his brow: "Earlier, when I bluffed that I knew his identity, he seemed very nervous, and even wanted to kill us to keep us quiet. What kind of identity does he have to be so anxious?"
