Chapter 684: Chapter 704: What’s the Actual Level of Senior Sister’s Combat Strength?_1

After a good night’s sleep.

Lin Chen finished his breakfast, walked out of his room and bumped into Qingling. He casually asked, "Good morning, Qingling. Where’s Senior Sister?"

"She went to the Wu Jin Mine."

Lin Chen’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes widened in surprise, "Who did she go with?"

Qingling replied, "She went by herself."

Lin Chen came to his senses and couldn’t help but feel worried, "She really went alone?"

Qing Ling replied, "Sect Leader said that if she can’t win, having others wouldn’t help either. If the opponent has ulterior motives, bringing more people could make things worse. She will scout first and then decide what to do."

Lin Chen furrowed his eyebrows. Being the city lord was both easy and difficult, it was easy because you can leave everything to others, but it was also difficult because you have to personally risk your life when problems arise.

"What’s the average strength of the cultivators stationed in Bai Tao City?"

Qingling bitterly smiled and said, "As you know, most of the disciples of Fei Pu Peak are not looked upon favorably by the Four Great Sects, only a very few have special reasons for not joining them. The unique cultivation method of the Sect Leader is not suitable for ordinary disciples, not to mention the problem of talent, the vast amount of required resources alone would be enough to crush them."

"Because of this, there are originally not many strong disciples in Fei Pu Peak, Gu Yuanjie is considered one of the best among them. However, he only has the strength of the mid-Yuan Ying stage, and with this level of strength, he simply can’t defend a city. Fei Pu Peak’s reputation is the only thing that keeps its disciples in check."

"Sect Leader has been stuck at the Nascent Soul Great Perfection for quite some time, of course, this is because she wants to wait until all her Sword Bones are fully refined before advancing to the Transforming God stage. However, from the perspective of outsiders, they think that she’s incapable and lacks the strength to advance to the Transforming God stage, so they don’t take her seriously."

"Not considering late-stage Nascent Soul Experts, the City Lord of Jinghun City already has the strength of Nascent Soul Great Perfection, and there are many more Nascent Soul Experts there. In a full-scale battle, as long as someone can hold off the Sect Leader, Bai Tao City would be no match for Jinghun City."

"This time, Jinghun City’s attack on the Wu Jin Mine is likely just a probe. If Sect Leader can’t do anything about them, they might try to annex Bai Tao City next."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "What’s the level of Senior Sister’s combat power, and how does it compare to mid-stage Transforming God experts?"

Qingling replied, "Ordinary mid-stage Transforming God experts are no match for the Sect Leader, but in a real battle, it also depends on the opponent’s specific strength, the power of their magical treasures, and so on. Just like how you were able to hold on for so long against the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Tree Demon with your Water and Fire Mirror. Whether she can win or not will only be known after the actual battle."

Lin Chen suddenly felt worried, "Will there be any danger?"

Qingling reassured, "Sect Leader might lose, but it would be very difficult to actually capture her. Her Three-foot Sword Screen is exceptionally powerful in close combat, whoever tries to intercept her will suffer."

Lin Chen took a few steps and then stopped again, "So what should I do now?"

Qingling smiled and said, "The Sect Leader didn’t bring you here to help her fight, but to let you see the Barren Wilderness for yourself. Yesterday, you helped save Gu Qianqian, which was a great favor to the Sect Leader. After all, Gu Yuanjie helps the Sect Leader manage Bai Tao City and has made great contributions. If something happened to Gu Qianqian, she would feel guilty, and things might turn worse."

Lin Chen understood the meaning behind Qingling’s words. If an ordinary cultivator died, it might only require a normal procedure to handle the situation. But if Gu Yuanjie’s daughter died, there would be a need to avenge her for the sake of Gu Yuanjie’s great contributions, which might lead to full-scale wars with Jinghun City and Shenghuo Sect.

At that time, many people would die, and the war wouldn’t stop easily.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go take a stroll around the city."

"Go ahead, call me if you need anything."

Lin Chen used his Sword Control Technique to rise into the air and head straight towards the city center of Bai Tao City.

In Qiao Wei’s words, Bai Tao City was just a remote small city, but in reality, it wasn’t small at all. The city was square, with a length and width of at least twenty miles, densely packed with houses, streets extending in all directions, and a large population.

With such a city only being considered small, how big would a large city be?

As Lin Chen was watching, a giant flying boat more than two hundred meters long rose from the city. The flying boat was filled with goods and many people, looking quite spectacular.

Trade between the cities in the Barren Wilderness mostly relies on large flying boats since distances are vast and demonic beasts are numerous. Building roads is impossible, making flying boats similar to airplanes in the Human World.

Lin Chen thought that he should also buy a small flying boat. Sword riding was fine for short periods, but it would become tiring over time.

Flying boats, on the other hand, were different. Just slap a Spirit Stone on the boat, activate the Array Formation, and the boat would fly forward by itself. It was fast and effortless, and as long as the energy of the Spirit Stone didn’t run out, it could fly continuously without intervention, allowing you to drink tea or cultivate at your leisure.

Lin Chen landed on the busiest street and planned to visit some Elixir Shops, hoping to sell the Ling Medicine he had for a good price if he saw a good deal.

What if he came across some Black Iron Crow Essence?

Lin Chen walked a few steps along the street and suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
