Chapter 953: Chapter 973: Enemy Attack!_1

"You come from the Human World, are you speaking from experience?"

Facing Zhu Yao’s teasing, Lin Chen joked, "Isn’t that the truth? In the human world, I was invincible, but after entering the Wildlands, I became a vulnerable Early Golden Core Stage cultivator, talk about a huge difference."

"I’m actually fine with it since I’m still young and just got promoted not long ago. The first expert I knew from the Human World didn’t take the opportunity to enter Cave Sky Blessed Land, mostly because he couldn’t accept such a significant change in status."

Long Yan’er chuckled, "For us, the end of our lives is still far away, so whether we can enter the Immortal Realm isn’t that important. But for those at the Great Circle of Void Separation who are in the later stages of their lives, it’s their hope for survival."

"No matter how the Immortal Realm is, at least after ascending to immortality, one’s life will be measured in tens of thousands of years, allowing a long lifespan. Staying alive is better than eternally resting in the ground, right?"

Lin Chen smiled and nodded, but couldn’t help thinking of Meng Lan’s words from that day.

There’s no difference between the Immortal Realm and the Wildlands, survival of the fittest, and respect for the Expert!

Just like the two sisters, they must have been at the Demon King Level before ascending, wielding great power, who would dare to disobey them?

But after ascending, their True Dragon Bodies became mere maids, reduced to pulling carriages. Thinking about it, her sister’s rebellion was not unreasonable.

When these Sect Masters, who could shake the ground with a stomp of their feet, ascended to the Immortal Realm and suddenly fell in status, countless Immortal Experts had control over their lives, they must be careful, and their feelings must be mixed.

Maybe that’s the price of staying alive.

"Yeah, whoever wants to ascend the most can just take the lead. We, who are young, can hide behind and safety always comes first."

"With so many big shots, it won’t be our turn to make a move. All we need to do is protect ourselves."

"But when the time comes, we’ll have to follow the Sect Elders. Otherwise, Lin Chen, who will you join?"

Lin Chen laughed and declined, "No need, I’ll just follow along and see. If anything goes wrong, I’ll run. No big deal."

Zhu Yao didn’t force him, and smiled, "Alright, let’s not talk about your fighting skills, but when it comes to running away, no one can match you."

Three days later, the cultivator’s team set off in a mighty procession.

This time, it wasn’t about sneaking around but launching an outright assault.

Whoever stood in the way was pushed aside!

Lin Chen followed behind the team, watching the dark and dense crowd in front, his heart full of anticipation.

Such a strong lineup!

At least fifty Void Stage experts were in the front, with most of them at the Great Circle of Void Separation!

The team moved forward, and attackers soon appeared on the road. These Demonic Beasts, with their red eyes, attacked the team fearlessly!

TThese beasts naturally had no chance against so many powerful cultivators, but they had no fear and continued to throw themselves at the enemy.

Since there were so many people in the team, the progress was slow despite setting up defenses every step of the way.

Five days later, a majestic and towering mountain peak blocked their way.

Lin Chen looked at the mountain from afar, slowing down again, and slightly distancing himself from the team. It was at this mountain that Lin Chen had met the white-clothed woman.

The team approached the mountain, but the white-clothed woman didn’t appear, the mountain was extremely quiet.

Lin Chen couldn’t help but be a little surprised. Wasn’t the white-clothed woman Ji Ruxue a guardian?

Where is she?

As daybreak came, the team halted and set up camp to rest.

Lin Chen sat cross-legged in a corner of the camp, his mind alert and cautious.

In the daytime, neither White-clothed Woman Ji Ruxue nor Fanatic Yan Chusheng appeared, which was highly unusual.

From Lin Chen’s brief encounter with Ji Ruxue, they weren’t like those berserk Demonic Beasts which attacked mindlessly. They possessed the rational thinking of a normal person.

With a huge cultivator team like this so well prepared, it only made sense they would choose to attack at night if they didn’t confront them head-on.

What Lin Chen could think of, the many big shots leading the team could naturally also figure out. So, during the camp setup, the Thirteen Array Flag Treasure of Sealing the Cave from Xixuan Mountain was placed, enveloping the entire camp within.

The Array Flags were embedded deep into the ground and became incredibly huge, like the pillars of Heaven and Earth, emanating an awe-inspiring spiritual energy fluctuation. The flags were interconnected, forming a formidable web.

In the middle of the night, a gale howled.

A black blade light suddenly appeared like a ghost, tearing through the night and slashing down at an Array Flag.

The radiance on the Array Flag flickered, and a spear shadow soared into the sky, greeted by the black blade light.

"Clang!"

The spear shadow shattered.

The blade light continued downwards, seemingly splitting Heaven and Earth.

The Thirteen Array Flags simultaneously lit up with dazzling radiance, but they still couldn’t stop this blade.

The Array Flag broke in half, emitting a thunderous boom.

"Enemy attack!"
