Li Caixia looked at Lin Chen, and her heart was filled with shock and a tinge of regret.
If Lin Chen’s identity truly was that of a True Disciple, then befriending such a talented individual could bring significant benefits to her future developnt.
However, Li Caixia had initially thought that Lin Chen was rely an Outer Sect Disciple, and treated him sowhat coldly. Could she now shalessly seek to ingratiate herself with Lin Chen?
With Li Caixia’s pride, she couldn’t bring herself to do that. After all, so many eyes were upon her, and she had always been seen as a goddess by everyone, sothing she couldn’t afford to spoil in their eyes.
Just like how she united the people of the White Clothes Hall, wasn’t it all thanks to her personal charisma? Otherwise, the White Clothes Hall would have long since tead up with others.
anwhile, the expressions on the faces of Liu Changfeng and Zhang Kaisheng from the White Clothes Hall weren’t looking too good as they watched Lin Chen and his companion, seemingly lost in thought and possibly plotting sothing.
Soon after, the group continued to move forward, and before long, they encountered disciples of the Black Cloud Sect again, but not the sa ones from before.
This ti they also encountered disciples from the Jade Cauldron Sect. When it ca to fighting for cultivation resources, the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect might fight each other, but with a common enemy in sight, the people from the Jade Cauldron Sect united to battle against those from the Black Cloud Sect.
In this battle, both sides suffered casualties. Originally, the difference in numbers between the two sides wasn’t large, and with martial artists of the sa realm, the Black Cloud Sect’s disciples had stronger combat power and should have won the fight.
However, the only variable once again occurred with Lin Chen. The power that Lin Chen unleashed allowed him to easily defeat martial artists of the Spirit Gathering Realm Seventh Layer, and even take on three opponents without difficulty.
In this battle, Lin Chen also broke through to the Spirit Gathering Realm Third Layer. With the increase in his cultivation, his strength surged trendously.
The disciples of the Black Cloud Sect looked at Lin Chen with expressions as if they had seen a ghost and hurriedly fled, knowing that if they stayed, they would surely perish.
After this battle, Lin Chen attracted the attention of many from the Jade Cauldron Sect, and nurous disciples began to admire him.
While resting after the fight, the female disciples of the White Phoenix Hall started to cast flirtatious glances at Lin Chen. Liu Caixia was also in a dilemma, wondering whether to swallow her pride and take the initiative to make contact with Lin Chen. She internally criticized herself for being cold to Lin Chen before. Didn’t this guy know to co forward and ingratiate himself with her, especially since she was a great beauty?
Over at the White Clothes Hall, Zhang Kaisheng and Liu Changfeng had extrely ugly expressions. Lin Chen’s continuing coldness towards them made them even more worried that Lin Chen would seek revenge upon returning to the sect. They now felt there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that Lin Chen was indeed a True Disciple.
After the rest, the group continued to advance. As they moved closer to Dragon Pond, the herbal materials they encountered began to rise in grade.
This ti Lin Chen did not hold back at all, picking them without needing to read the expressions of Liu Changfeng and Li Caixia.
Seeing Lin Chen’s actions, neither side dared to say much. Throughout their journey, had it not been for Lin Chen, they might have already fallen to the disciples of the Black Cloud Sect. Also considering Lin Chen’s potential identity as a True Disciple, they did not dare to criticize his actions.
These battles had also caused substantial casualties among their ranks. The White Phoenix Hall was now down to only five people, and the White Clothes Hall had seven, indicating the dangers within the secret realm.
Boom——
Boom boom——
As the group marched on, they suddenly heard the sounds of battle ahead. Rushing forward, they saw a group of Black Cloud Sect disciples engaged in fierce combat with disciples from the Jade Cauldron Sect, but it seed that the Jade Cauldron Sect had the upper hand.
"Charge, help them break out of the encirclent,"
Li Caixia, quick-eyed and swift-handed, imdiately commanded everyone to move, and took the lead charging out.
It wasn’t that she was extraordinarily brave or that she hated the people of Black Cloud Sect that much, it was simply because, under the current circumstances, whether they helped or not, the disciples of Jade Cauldron Sect could drive back the Black Cloud Sect’s mbers, so naturally, she wanted to go out and do this favor.
The Black Cloud Sect, already at a disadvantage, suddenly saw reinforcents from the Jade Cauldron Sect and imdiately turned tail and fled.
Subsequently, the two groups of Jade Cauldron Sect disciples ca face to face, and it turned out they all knew each other.
"I wonder who is so bold, beating the Black Cloud Sect disciples so hard they couldn’t retaliate, turns out it’s Senior Brother Leng Dong."
Li Caixia looked at the man leading the group in front of her and imdiately offered a gentle smile, approaching to greet him, with Liu Changfeng and the others closely following, indicating the man’s significant status in Jade Cauldron Sect.
However, Lin Chen watched the group in front of him and couldn’t help but sneer silently to himself, for he recognized those people.
At that mont, they too certainly noticed Lin Chen, and their brows imdiately furrowed slightly.
Because they were the lackeys of Law Enforcent Hall and Baili Chuifeng.
Back when Baili Chuifeng forcefully wanted to take Mu Qingxuan to have a al and clashed with Lin Chen, Wang Kailong and Qiao Miyuan, who had intended to teach Lin Chen a lesson on Baili Chuifeng’s behalf, were among them. There was also Bai Wenle from the Law Enforcent Hall who had wanted to take Lin Chen to Scorching Sun Cave. However, now they were led by soone else, called Leng Dong.
"Junior Sister Li, Junior Brother Liu, how co you are walking with this person?"
Leng Dong, also an Inner Sect Disciple from the Law Enforcent Hall, sought to curry favor with Baili Wentian, so he felt particularly averse to Lin Chen.
At this mont, after hearing Leng Dong’s words, Li Caixia and the others, confused, asked around and learned that Lin Chen actually was a True Disciple, and specifically from Twelfth Peak’s Jade Bird Peak.
The disciples of Jade Bird Peak were few, yet in Jade Cauldron Sect they were an incredibly remarkable presence, known for acting independently from many Sect constraints and being exceptionally powerful in battle.
Having confird Lin Chen’s identity through Leng Dong, Li Caixia, Zhang Kaisheng, and others were still taken aback, especially Zhang Kaisheng and Liu Changfeng, who now feared Lin Chen’s retribution.
However, the subsequent words from Leng Dong brightened the eyes of Zhang Kaisheng and the rest.
Lin Chen had offended Baili Wentian, who was also a True Disciple and held the position of an elder in the Law Enforcent Hall. Although he was just a group elder, he still had so influence. Lin Chen having offended him, Baili would naturally not let things slide.
At that mont, everyone looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and the place beca terrifyingly quiet.
Everyone knew that Leng Dong and the rest were probably about to make a decision,
After all, this was the Mire Dragon Marsh Secret Realm. If soone died here, and there were no witnesses, even if they were killed by a Magical Beast or a disciple of Black Cloud Sect, the Sect couldn’t investigate.
"Junior Sister Li, Junior Brother Liu, this man has offended Senior Brother Baili Wentian and even caused his brother, Baili Chuifeng, to lose an arm. Would you join in ending him?"
