Chapter 923: Chapter 943: No Matter Who, No One Has It Easy_1

"If it’s activated with an Array Plate, doesn’t that mean deploying the Array Formation is quite simple?"

Yue Shanhe replied, "Yes, but the activation of the Array Formation still takes some time. The distance from here to the city center is not far, and once the Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Array is activated, there will be a strong sign. Although it doesn’t take too long, it’s enough for cultivators to counterattack."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, "No wonder they had to enter the city first, kill the City Lord, who has the most strength, and his guards. They were afraid that they would be noticed and counterattacked by the City Lord while they were casting the Array Formation..."

"That’s the reason!"

Yue Shanhe glanced around and said, "Mr. Lin, if you are not in a hurry, let’s go to Jianqi City first, and see if there is any news."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen agreed, looking at the distant city: "The corpses and bones in the city..."

Yue Shanhe said solemnly, "I will send a team of cultivators here to gather all of the corpses and bones, and bury them together in one place."

Lin Chen nodded, "Good!"

Just when everyone was about to turn around and leave, Qiu Qiu, who was perched on Lin Chen’s shoulder, suddenly jumped out and headed straight into the nearby woods, picking up something shiny from the grass.

Lin Chen had a thought, and called out, "Qiu Qiu, come here!"

Qiu Qiu returned and actively placed the shiny object in Lin Chen’s palm.

It was a crystal button.

The button was very delicately crafted, with a white glowing Array Formation inside and blood spreading throughout the formation.

Yue Shanhe leaned in for a closer look, "Sect’s emblem!"

Seeing Lin Chen’s confusion, Yue Shanhe explained, "Sects usually have a standard uniform, like costumes, with a badge of the sect embroidered on the chest, some on the collar. The buttons are also beautifully crafted with patterns."

"This button is well-made, and under normal circumstances, it should be the sect’s emblem, of course, it is not ruled out that someone maliciously framed others, leaving unique items belonging to others at the crime scene, which is a common means in the Cultivation World."

Lin Chen nodded, "In any case, let’s investigate."

Yue Shanhe said solemnly, "Investigation is inevitable. Since there is an emblem, whether it belongs to the real murderer or someone being framed, we will be able to find it, at least there is an extra clue to follow."

Lin Chen glanced at Qiu Qiu and rubbed its head with his hand.

"Well done, I’ll reward you with a bag of snacks."

Qiu Qiu let out a soft chirp, cuddling Lin Chen’s head.

Everyone headed to Jianqi City and stayed in Zhu Lin’s City Lord’s Mansion.

Yue Shanhe presided over Jianqi City, deploying many elite disciples from the sect to investigate the matter.

It took time to gather information, and Lin Chen was not in a hurry. After all, he had just been in Closed Door Cultivation for more than half a year, and he was a bit weary, so he considered this a way to relax.

During the bottleneck period, it’s good to walk around and find inspiration. Who knows, they might just find the door they were looking for.

Lin Chen was lying on the roof of the City Lord’s Mansion when Su Mubai appeared beside him.

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Chen turned his head to see Su Mubai, dressed in white like a fairy, and said with a smile, "Just daydreaming... Sit."

Seeing the lounge chair that Lin Chen had conjured up, Su Mubai couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you carry a lounge chair with you wherever you go?"

Lin Chen laughed, "In the Human World, ordinary people work every day to support their families. The greatest pleasure when they return home is lying down. Only when they are lying down do they truly belong to themselves."

Su Mubai sat down on the chair and reclined like Lin Chen, casually asking, "Then who do they belong to when they are standing?"

Lin Chen replied, "To their wives or husbands, parents, children, and so on, but not to themselves."

Su Mubai paused for a moment before saying softly, "Actually, it’s almost the same for ordinary people in the Barren Wilderness. Most of them struggle and run around for the sake of living..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Although cultivators are worry-free in terms of food and clothing, the situation is similar. Without cultivation resources, they have to fight hard in dangerous wildlands. A slight mistake could cost them their lives. Even big shots in the Hollow Void Realm start to worry about not ascending to immortality..."

Su Mubai laughed, "From your point of view, it seems that nobody has an easy life."

Lin Chen smiled, "I just have a lot of miscellaneous thoughts when I think about the 400,000 people in Kong Yuan City who were refined. In the Wildlands, either ordinary people or cultivators, who can say for certain that they will live until tomorrow?"

Su Mubai nodded, "In comparison, the human world, though ordinary, may not be worse than the Wildlands."

Lin Chen smiled, "But in the human world, the longest-lived person is only a hundred years old, and the ordinary life span is only seventy years old. In the Wildlands, people lack everything, but they have longevity."

Su Mubai suddenly asked, "What will you do if you find out who did it?"

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying, "An eye for an eye, blood for blood. If I can kill them, I will. If I can’t, I’ll ask my Senior Brother and Senior Sister for help. Four hundred thousand lives, four hundred thousand innocent souls need an explanation!"
