Chapter 773: Chapter 66: Coercion and the Mastermind Behind the Scenes (Part 2)
...
Lin Chen didn’t hear what Mu Jun and others were saying on the beach, but he noticed their expressions of being mere spectators. Seeing the sect brothers battling the Canglan Beast, he let out an ambiguous "heh".
Bang!
The next moment, the flames on Lin Chen exploded, directly hitting several Canglan Beasts around him. Attacked, their scarlet eyes instantly locked onto Lin Chen, pouncing toward him.
Swoosh!
Lin Chen’s figure transformed into a golden light, heading toward the beach, with nearly ten Canglan Beasts in close pursuit.
"Not good!"
Mu Jun and others watching on the beach instantly guessed Lin Chen’s intention as soon as they saw him rushing toward them.
This was an attempt to divert disaster!
"Lin Chen, by doing this you are against us..."
Someone threatened, yet Lin Chen only smirked. At this point, talking about whether or not to offend the sects behind them.
Seeing Lin Chen unmoved, Mu Jun and the nine others immediately wanted to scatter, but unfortunately, Lin Chen’s speed was faster, catching up to one of them in an instant, and even surpassing him.
Behind, the Canglan Beasts wouldn’t detour; several Canglan Beasts struck simultaneously, unleashing terrifying energy. The aftermath directly blasted the Outer Sect Disciple behind Lin Chen, spinning them in mid-air.
Puff!
Zhang Jin coughed up blood, retreated a hundred feet, looking incredibly pale, gazing at Lin Chen with resentment. If he hadn’t desperately activated his Innate Power at the last moment to speed up to the limit, he might have died on that blow.
"Lin Chen, I..."
"If you don’t want to die, just fight the Canglan Beasts with me."
However, seeing Lin Chen’s indifferent gaze and cold words, Zhang Jin couldn’t help but shiver. Lin Chen’s eyes told him the other side was truly capable of such deeds.
As for what the sect would demand from the Canglan Sect and Lin Chen after knowing this matter, what does that have to do with him? He would already be dead.
"I can only hold back one Canglan Beast for you."
Lin Chen didn’t respond, his figure appeared again behind Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin’s face changed dramatically, and he moved along, but his speed was always a step slower than Lin Chen, unable to shake him off.
"Two... I can hold back two Canglan Beasts for you."
Zhang Jin chose to submit, yet Lin Chen remained unmoved. Zhang Jin could only dodge again, watching the five relentless Canglan Beasts, gritting his teeth: "I’ll go to the sea."
Hearing Zhang Jin, Lin Chen didn’t follow when Zhang Jin shifted positions again.
Zhang Jin was relieved not to see Lin Chen follow, but as another thought surfaced in his mind, Lin Chen’s cold gaze swept over, making Zhang Jin shudder inwardly, obediently flying toward the sea.
Seeing Zhang Jin yield, Lin Chen didn’t stop but guided the five Canglan Beasts toward the others.
"Lin Chen, you have angered everyone. Are you planning to go against us all by yourself?"
"Everyone, let’s come together, I refuse to believe we cannot handle him alone!"
The second person being chased by Lin Chen is Mu Jun. Seeing Lin Chen coming toward him, he immediately shouted loudly, trying to threaten Lin Chen and get others to join forces with him.
Yet, no one present was a fool.
Lin Chen’s strength was obviously a cut above. Indeed, they could handle Lin Chen if they joined forces.
But the key was, their hearts weren’t aligned.
Coming from different sects, they previously had little interaction. Who guaranteed that if they rushed toward Mu Jun, others would do the same?
If the others didn’t, and Lin Chen fought fiercely, they wouldn’t be able to resist.
Who guarantees no one is watching from the sidelines?
Without trust, in such a short time, these people couldn’t truly unite.
"I’m heading to the sea!"
Seeing no one respond to him, Mu Jun sighed inwardly, decisively throwing these words to Lin Chen, and headed to the sea too.
One, two, three...
As five were driven to the sea to team up with Canglan Sect’s disciples against the Canglan Beast, the remaining ones no longer resisted, even flying toward the sea before Lin Chen drew near.
Since they couldn’t resist, they could only join.
Yue Shan watched Lin Chen look over at him, helplessly spreading his hands: "Brother Lin, I’m willing to cooperate."
Lin Chen nodded, just as he prepared to target someone else, he heard Zeng Xi’s voice by his ear.
"Brother Lin, be cautious of this Blood Moon Sect Yue Shan. I always feel something is off about him; why has the Canglan Secret Realm opened many times, never an accident, yet this time something happens?"
Zeng Xi’s whisper made Lin Chen’s eyes imperceptibly narrow slightly.
"Previously everyone entered the bubbles, wishing to tame the Canglan Beast and gain Martial Path Will, but only Yue Shan remained on the beach without action. Though he gave an explanation, thinking back, it doesn’t seem reasonable."
"The crucial point is, Yue Shan’s strength is not strong. With my understanding of Blood Moon Sect, there are disciples stronger than Yue Shan in the same age group. How did Yue Shan secure a spot to enter the Canglan Secret Realm?"
The Canglan Sect’s allocation of the Canglan Secret Realm spots came from costly transactions among the sects, reserved for top talents. Only if top talents had already comprehended the flawless level of Martial Path Will, unnecessary to enter the Canglan Secret Realm, would other disciples get the turn.
