Chapter 791 - 74: Dragon Blood Bodhi
Chapter 791: Chapter 74: Dragon Blood Bodhi
"What is the Seven Stars Sect doing?"
"I don’t know, but it’s best to comply, after all, this is the Seven Stars Sect."
Although the Seven Stars Sect is not a Super Sect, it is still one of the four first-class sects in the Fulong Domain. Apart from the Super Sect Fulong Sect and the other three first-class sects, no other power dares to offend the Seven Stars Sect in the Fulong Domain.
Zhang Fan and the others disembarked from the flying ship first, while Lin Chen walked last.
"Senior, I come from the Zhang Family in Longyuan City, and we are heading to Jiuxi City in the Profound Yellow Domain."
After getting off the flying ship, Zhang Fan immediately introduced himself to a middle-aged man in front.
However, the middle-aged man showed no courtesy.
"The area ahead has been sealed off, no one is allowed to pass through."
Hearing that the road was blocked, Zhang Fan and the others breathed a sigh of relief: "If that’s the case, then we choose to detour."
"Detour?"
The middle-aged man from the Seven Stars Sect glanced at Lin Chen and the others, one by one, with a smile on his face: "There’s no need."
Hearing there was no need to detour, Zhang Fan and the others felt a surge of happiness. If they had to take a detour, who knows how wide the area the Seven Stars Sect has blocked this time. If the blocked area is too large, it could delay them for several days or even dozens of days.
"As long as we search you and confirm there’s nothing wrong, you can leave."
When the middle-aged man said this, Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed. This Seven Stars Sect is not blocking this area to prevent people from passing; they are clearly setting up an interception checkpoint here, targeting either a person or a certain object.
Search!
Zhang Fan and the others looked displeased, as being searched was an insult to an Innate Martial Artist.
"We’d rather choose to detour."
The elder on the flying ship had a smiling face, but the middle-aged man repeated his earlier words: "I have already said that as long as you are searched, you can proceed."
Though the words were unchanged, the threat in his tone was evident.
If they don’t get searched, no one can leave.
The elder opened his mouth to speak but ultimately said nothing. He had spent a lifetime cultivating and had barely stepped into the Innate Realm, going through many hardships. Being searched, especially in front of disciples, was humiliating, but he understood the ways of these major sects.
If they refused the search, the consequences would not be as simple as a search.
"I am in a hurry to get to the Profound Yellow Domain for an urgent matter, so it is best not to detour. I’m sure you all don’t want to waste time either."
The elder looked at Lin Chen and the others. Those who reached the Innate Realm by the age of thirty either had a prestigious background or exceptional talent and likely hadn’t suffered much indignity. Given that they were on the same flying ship, he was willing to offer some gentle persuasion, lest their pride gets the better of them and they suffer as a result.
So-called prestigious backgrounds mean nothing in front of the Seven Stars Sect.
At the elder’s words, Zhang Fan and the others showed varied expressions. Although there was only an Innate First Realm martial artist from the Seven Stars Sect present, if they did not agree, he couldn’t forcibly search them. But evidently, the Seven Stars Sect had more than one Innate Martial Artist guarding this area. If a fight broke out, they wouldn’t be able to escape if the Seven Stars Sect sent an Innate Second Realm member.
Lin Chen’s eyes squinted slightly. He had the Hundred Objects Box on him, so it was impossible to take everything out for a search. Luckily, he still had the sect’s disciple token, which should grant him passage from the Seven Stars Sect.
The Seven Stars Sect wouldn’t dare offend the Canglan Sect!
Just as Lin Chen reached a decision, a cold voice suddenly reached his ear.
"If you can bring me through without being searched, I am willing to give you a Dragon Blood Bodhi as compensation."
The voice came from behind, and Lin Chen didn’t turn around. There was only one woman behind him, the veiled woman in red.
Dragon Blood Bodhi!
This was a valuable item, unique to the Fulong Domain, but even in the Fulong Domain, Dragon Blood Bodhi was extremely rare.
This item can significantly enhance a Martial Artist’s Qi Blood.
Lin Chen glanced at his own status panel.
[Host: Lin Chen]
[Realm: Innate Second Realm]
[Innate Technique: Azure Wave Technique] (Undamaged Level 5)
[Qi Blood: Level 3]
[Divine Soul: Level 5]
[Will: Level 5]
[Speed: Level 4]
[Defense: Level 4]
[Comprehension: Level 5]
His Qi Blood was currently the lowest, as he had relied on turning vast amounts of Azure Wave energy into Innate Power. The abrupt Innate Second Realm left his body’s refinement lagging behind.
"Okay."
Qiao Shishuang heard the response and blinked slightly beneath her veil. She had only attempted this in desperation and didn’t hold much hope.
From the moment she boarded the flying ship, she observed everyone else onboard. Among the nine people, the only one she couldn’t fully read was this Gu Fei.
Although he was only at the Innate First Realm, he seemed unfathomable to her, not like someone who had just set foot into the Innate First Realm.
If she had encountered Gu Fei elsewhere, she might have guessed he was a disciple of a Super Sect. But on this flying ship, Qiao Shishuang was puzzled.
Would an Innate Martial Artist from a Super Sect share a ship with others?
Would an Innate Martial Artist from a Super Sect lack any lofty air?
But now that he agreed, there was only one possibility: that he really was an Innate Martial Artist from a Super Sect. Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn’t be able to help her.
Lin Chen didn’t know if the Seven Stars Sect’s target for blocking the road was the woman behind him, but he had no reason to refuse the Dragon Blood Bodhi, such a good item.
As for cooperating with the Seven Stars Sect to make them take the Dragon Blood Bodhi from her, Lin Chen thought it over and decided against it.
The other party dared to send him a voice transmission, surely having considered this possibility, perhaps with a contingency plan.
"The Seven Stars Sect is truly audacious, blocking the road and searching... Could it be that the Fulong Domain is under their command?"
Lin Chen’s sarcastic words brought Zhang Fan and the others’ gazes onto him instantly, looking at him as if he were a fool.
