Chapter 924: Chapter 944: If I Can’t Win, Just Run, Escaping is My Specialty_1

"There’s news!"

Lin Chen was playing chess with Su Mubai when Yue Shanhe hurriedly entered, with an excited expression on his face.

Lin Chen raised his head: "Qiming Sect?"

"No!"

Yue Shanhe replied: "We asked many people about it, including many merchants coming from the north and the south, and none of them have ever heard of the name Qiming Sect. However, we did find out the origin of that button we picked up."

Lin Chen nodded: "They call themselves the Qiming Sect, which could be a fake identity, so it’s quite normal not to find any leads. What about the button?"

Yue Shanhe replied: "Three Ghosts Gate, a sect that’s good at refining pills. They don’t have many members, but their strength is quite strong. They have very powerful pill refining skills, and many cultivators come to them for refining pills, so their network is quite complicated..."

Su Mubai thought for a moment: "The Three Ghosts Gate, the Qiming Sect, the first character of both names is a number, and the second character has similar meanings. Since the Three Ghosts Gate is also good at refining pills, the refining and refining paths, although different, may also be interconnected by the same principle..."

Lin Chen stood up: "Regardless of whether they are or not, we must go and see."

Yue Shanhe said: "I’ve inquired about it. The sect master of the Three Ghosts Gate is in the Late Nascent Soul, not very strong, but it is said that there is an Elder Taishang in the Hollow Void Realm who has been in closed-door cultivation for a long time. If we go directly there, we’ll face a lot of trouble whether we find evidence or not..."

Lin Chen frowned, understanding the implication of Yue Shanhe’s words.

If they went to confront the sect full of murderous intent without finding any evidence, they would not simply let it rest. If they did find evidence, then since the enemy dared to attack Kong Yuan City, they would obviously not be afraid of their group. Since the enemy had an expert in the Hollow Void Realm, the battle would not only alarm the snakes but also be difficult for their group to handle.

If they took the initiative to send themselves to their door, just like they killed everyone in Kong Yuan City along with the elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, wouldn’t that be like a sheep entering a tiger’s mouth?

Lin Chen pondered: "Where is the Mountain Ghost Sect?"

"About seven or eight days’ journey from here."

Lin Chen nodded: "With many people, it’s easy to alarm the snakes. Besides, as you said, the opponent has a powerful figure in the Hollow Void Realm, and we would easily fall into a trap if we went there. Moreover, if we startled them, and they simply moved and changed their appearance, it would be difficult to find them again."

Yue Shanhe stared at Lin Chen: "So, what’s your opinion, Mr. Lin?"

Lin Chen calmly said: "You guys don’t move, I’ll go alone first. I’m young and not very eye-catching. I’ll investigate secretly. If we confirm that they are the murderers, we will take action and try not to let any of them escape."

Yue Shanhe nodded: "This plan is feasible, but Mr. Lin, being alone and going deeper, I’m afraid you might encounter danger..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "If I can’t beat them, I’ll run. Escaping is my forte."

Yue Shanhe also laughed: "That’s true, even the Red Dragon King and the True Dragon couldn’t stop you. If you wanted to run, they would definitely have no idea."

Lin Chen decided: "That’s settled then. I’ll go to investigate, and you’ll send someone to respond, mainly to relay the news. After all, when I find some information, I’ll need someone to pass it on."

Su Mubai volunteered: "I’ll go."

Lin Chen nodded: "Alright!"

Lin Chen was going to scout for information himself, and having someone to respond was mainly for assistance and passing on the news, so there was no need to worry too much about combat power. Since Su Mubai was a friend, they naturally got along better.

After obtaining the location of the Three Ghosts Gate on the map, Lin Chen, Su Mubai, and Lu Daoren set off.

Ten days later, the three of them arrived at the Mountain Ghost Sect.

The Mountain Ghost Sect was located at the peak of an imposing mountain, a huge barrier enveloping the entire mountain, making it look like it was hidden in the mist, barely visible, and full of immortal energy.

The entrance to the Mountain Ghost Sect was in a valley. Lin Chen was surprised to find that there were many people at the entrance of the valley, tightly packed, and it had a bustling atmosphere.

What was going on?

"I’ll go and take a look. You two wait here for my news. Old Lu, if anything happens, protect her."

Lu Daoren cleanly agreed: "Alright!"

Su Mubai reminded: "Be careful, safety first."

"Don’t worry, they can’t take my life."

Lin Chen laughed, patting himself a few times, instantly concealing his intimidating aura and making himself look much more ordinary.

Lin Chen took out the flying sword he hadn’t used for a long time, stepped on it, and quietly flew over.

No one noticed Lin Chen. Everyone was looking at the front with eager eyes, where a middle-aged man stood, speaking arrogantly.

"Our Three Ghosts Gate has always pursued an elite path. We don’t have many disciples and rarely accept new ones. But now, the Demon Emperor has reappeared, and the Emperor’s Seal has also emerged. It’s clear that the world is about to undergo major changes, so the sect master has decided to accept more disciples, increase the strength of the sect, and face this upcoming change."

"Time is pressing, so this time we won’t accept ordinary people and Qi-refining disciples; we will only accept disciples with Foundation Establishment Period strength or higher. No matter if you’re in the Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, or even Nascent Soul, as long as you’re willing to join the Three Ghosts Gate, we’ll accept you... "
