Chapter 2916: Chapter 2936: Stop Pretending, You’re Here for Me, Aren’t You?

The flying boat tore through the sky, swift and stable.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged atop the flying boat, his expression calm as he seized the time to cultivate ardently.

Chi Ya sat at the front of the flying boat, controlling its advance, and gave Lin Chen, with his tranquil face, a look, her gaze filled with complexity.

A great battle loomed, and Lin Chen had parachuted into the Haoran Sect, becoming its new Sect Master.

He had directly solved the long-plaguing resource problem within the sect, which would undoubtedly greatly enhance the combat power of the sect’s internal disciples. However, once on the battlefield, the Haoran Sect’s thousands of members would be like a drop in the ocean. What would their fate be in such a fierce and sweeping battle?

Lin Chen was a good man and had the Hall Master’s esteem, but he was lacking in strength. Wouldn’t he be at a huge disadvantage in battle?

If he were to face a Demon Race member of the Daluo Beginning Immortal Level head-on, wouldn’t the Sect Master be killed instantly?

As Chi Ya fell into deep thought, two streaks of golden light suddenly erupted diagonally from behind and blocked the flying boat’s path.

Chi Ya was shaken, deftly stopping the flying boat as she called out in a low voice, "Sect Master, be careful!"

Lin Chen opened his eyes from cultivation and, upon seeing the two men blocking their path, slightly narrowed his eyes.

Chi Ya called out, "Fellow cultivators, for what reason are you blocking the flying boat?"

The old man among the two obstructing them, one old and one middle-aged, asked with a grave voice, "We are in pursuit of a critically injured and dying White Moon Beast. Having tracked it here, we found its breath suddenly vanish. Have the two of you seen it?"

Chi Ya’s heart relaxed a little, "We are subordinates of the War God Mansion, just finished our business and are now returning to our clan. We passed by here but did not see the White Moon Beast you mentioned."

The middle-aged man coldly said, "I wounded the White Moon Beast and placed a Spiritual Imprint on it. It shouldn’t have been able to escape, but it completely disappeared upon reaching here. It couldn’t possibly have removed my Spiritual Imprint by itself, could it?"

Chi Ya angrily retorted, "What do you mean? Are you suggesting that we have taken the White Moon Beast?"

The middle-aged man laughed scornfully, "Guilty conscience much? I haven’t even accused you yet, and you’re already admitting it. Just hand it over willingly. Forgive and forget, as long as you present it. Otherwise, hmm!"

Chi Ya fired back, "Don’t slander us; we haven’t seen any White Moon Beast!"

The middle-aged man burst into laughter, "Is that so? Then do you dare let me inspect your Spatial Ring to see if there’s a White Moon Beast inside?"

Chi Ya laughed coldly, "No chance! You expect me to hand over my Spatial Ring for inspection on your mere say-so? Who do you think you are?"

The middle-aged man’s voice turned sharp, and he said sternly, "If you don’t dare let us check, it means you have a guilty conscience. Don’t blame us for being impolite if we inspect by force!"

Chi Ya instantly summoned her flying sword and exclaimed angrily, "How dare you! We are Team Leaders of the War God Mansion’s First Corps. Would you dare to harm us, showing no respect for the War God Mansion?"

The middle-aged man sneered, "Stop pretending and puffing yourselves up. You’re just a bunch of grunts. Do you really think you are that formidable? Rest assured, we will let you go if there’s no White Moon Beast upon inspecting. I advise you not to resist, or you will be the ones to get hurt!"

Chi Ya said coldly, "If you want to inspect our Spatial Rings, you’ll have to kill me first, otherwise forget it!"

The middle-aged man glanced at Chi Ya and then gave Lin Chen a casual look, saying in a relaxed tone, "I’ll deal with this woman while you catch that kid, inspect him first, and then we can take her down together..."

The old man crisply replied, "Okay!"

Lin Chen had been observing silently; when the middle-aged man looked his way, Lin Chen clearly saw that beneath the man’s feigned indifference was serious consideration—a deliberate attempt to mask his true attention.

To lull the two of them into a false sense of security, to lower their guard?

Thoughts raced through Lin Chen’s mind, and he soon had his answer. He said coldly, "If you’ve come to kill me, do it openly. What’s with all the subterfuge? Are you afraid of revealing your identities? Are you sent by the Zhou Family, or by Chen Quan?"

As Lin Chen spoke, his gaze remained fixed on the two men.

There was no surprise on the faces of the two men at his words. The middle-aged man coldly snorted, "I don’t know what you’re talking about; we are just looking for our White Moon Beast."

Lin Chen scoffed, "Hall Master Chi, be careful, they’re after me!"

The reactions of the two seemed to be without fault, but their lack of fault was the biggest fault of all!

If they were truly just in search of the White Moon Beast, being suddenly accused of being assassins sent by someone would surely trigger surprise and even the demand for an explanation. But their casual denial instead laid everything bare, didn’t it?

Chi Ya’s expression changed drastically as she bellowed, "Have you gone mad? How dare you openly attack the War God Mansion’s subordinates? Do you wish to have your families exterminated?"
