Chapter 766: Chapter 786: Is He Coming for Me?_1

Lu Daoren was waiting for Lin Chen’s Spiritual energy to be depleted, but Lin Chen had the Water-Fire Mirror, a spiritual energy storage device, along with Longlong and Bi Fang, two water-fire chargers, theoretically giving him infinite spiritual energy endurance.

Run!

Although the other party could find out his approximate location, as long as he managed to outrun them, he would have nothing to fear!

Worst case scenario, he would go in a circle and run back to Kunlun Mountain.

Both Tang Li and Tang Cave Master shouldn’t just sit idly, letting him be killed, right?

First go to Jade Peak City to have a look. Jade Peak City is the territory of Kunlun Mountain, a mighty city with powerful experts residing in it. Lu Daoren might be powerful, but he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in Jade Peak City, and he might not even dare to enter the city.

With the Water-Fire Mirror providing ample spiritual energy, Lin Chen didn’t stop. He charged straight toward Jade Peak City.

Lu Daoren’s method of tracking him could only locate a general area. If he hid in Jade Peak City, even if Lu Daoren knew, so what?

He surely wouldn’t dare to attack like he did back at Huangshan (Yellow Mountain), forcing him to reveal himself.

After paying the entry tax, Lin Chen entered Jade Peak City.

He didn’t go to a hotel. Instead, he went straight to the City Lord’s Mansion of Jade Peak City.

The City Lord of Jade Peak City was named Fu Lin, a cultivator at the Late Nascent Soul stage with formidable strength. After providing his identity, Lin Chen didn’t have to wait long before he met Fu Lin.

"City Lord Fu, I apologize for the intrusion. I had no choice. I encountered an assassination attempt right after leaving Kunlun Mountain..."

Fu Lin’s expression changed. Lin Chen was a direct disciple of the Nanyue Hengshan Stone Cave Master. Having just left Kunlun, he encountered an assassination attempt. How would this look if word got out?

It would mean that Kunlun, who claimed to be among the Ten Great Cave Worlds, couldn’t even sweep up the robbers near their own doorstep. Who would dare to come to Kunlun Mountain?

"Who dared to kill someone in front of our Kunlun Mountain?"

Lin Chen replied, "He is a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe, calling himself Lu Daoren."

"Lu Daoren!"

Fu Lin’s expression changed a little: "How dare he come to the front of Kunlun Mountain to kill?"

Lin Chen asked, "Who is Lu Daoren? Do you know him, City Lord Fu?"

Fu Lin shook his head, "I’ve never seen him, but I’ve heard of him. Lu Daoren is a rogue cultivator with a heavy killing intent. He’s at the Nascent Soul Stage, and most people don’t dare to provoke him. However, while he may possess killing intent, he’s not indiscriminately murderous. Why would he suddenly attack you?"

Lin Chen replied, "He said he had run out of Spirit Stones and wanted to kill some people to steal theirs."

"Impossible."

Fu Lin resolutely shook his head, "Lu Daoren may not be a top expert, but he has some reputation. He might be short of Spirit Stones, but he would never kill and rob right in front of Kunlun Mountain’s doorstep just for them. Could someone from Kunlun have offended him, and since he doesn’t dare to enter Kunlun Mountain, he’s venting his anger outside by killing?"

Lu Daoren wouldn’t kill for Spirit Stones?

Lin Chen originally thought that he had just been unlucky, encountering a highway robbery, but Fu Lin’s denial made him doubt in his mind.

If not for wealth, was it as Fu Lin said, just indiscriminate killing to vent? Or was the attack deliberately aimed at himself?

Zhao Feiyu?

After Lin Chen had dealt with Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping definitely went to Zhao Feiyu to report his grievances. However, for several days afterward, Zhao Feiyu had never made an appearance, let alone causing trouble for Lin Chen.

Was it that he was disdainful of creating trouble for Lin Chen, or had he already made arrangements?

Could Lu Daoren be arranged by Zhao Feiyu?

This guess had no basis, but it was not impossible.

Once the doubt in his heart rose, Lin Chen would not tell Fu Lin more about the situation. Zhao Feiyu was considered the ’son of Kunlun,’ a future star. In the end, Lin Chen was an outsider, and it was obvious whose side they would take.

It was better to be cautious not to be stabbed in the back.

Lin Chen asked the question he was most concerned about: "After I escaped, Lu Daoren pursued me relentlessly. Even though I managed to shake him off completely, after a while, he would catch up again. He must have used some method I’m not aware of..."

Fu Lin looked at Lin Chen in amazement. Lin Chen, at the Golden Core Realm, could actually escape from Lu Daoren and even leave him far behind, unable to see his shadow?

Fu Lin wanted to ask Lin Chen how he did it, but on second thought, as the direct disciple of the Cave Master, it was normal for Lin Chen to have one or two life-saving magical treasures on him. Asking such a question seemed like prying into someone’s privacy.

After pondering for a while, Fu Lin replied, "It’s most likely the Xuantian Sensing Technique. But first, he must have imprinted a Spiritual Imprint on you, and within a certain range, he would be able to sense your approximate location."

Lin Chen asked, "How do I confirm if I’ve been imprinted with a Spiritual Imprint, and if so, how can I remove it?"

Fu Lin replied, "Focus your mind and check your Dantian. If there’s a Spiritual Imprint, it must be in the Dantian. Because it’s not yours, there will be some abnormalities. To remove it, focus your mental energy to strike and destroy it. Once the attached Spiritual Imprint shatters, the other party will no longer be able to sense your location."

"But if the opponent is much more powerful than you and their mental strength is much higher, you may not be able to remove their Spiritual Imprint. However, even if you can’t remove it, don’t worry too much. At most, it will disappear automatically after a month."

Lin Chen frowned. With such a huge gap in their strength, why would Lu Daoren need to place a Spiritual Imprint on him in the first place?
