2578: Chapter 2598: Those who fear death often die, while those who do not fear it tend to live!
Lin Chen sighed inwardly and silently nodded.
At this point, the bla was already firmly cast upon them, and Lin Chen no longer cared what the old lady might do next; at least she did not seem intent on killing them.
Although the strength of Lin Chen and Shang Wenyin was not lacking, to her, they were easily extinguishable and there was absolutely no need to falsely placate them.
The Sky Array Flag swept through, and the war slaves who had finished their battles took their spoils of war and once again disappeared within the Array Banner.
From beginning to end, none of these war slaves uttered a single word.
Watching these disappearing war slaves, a thought suddenly flashed through Lin Chen’s mind, startling him.
It seed that the old lady handled manipulating the war slaves quite adeptly, could it be she might also find a way to turn their group into war slaves?
Thinking of the state of these war slaves, unable to control their own actions, Lin Chen shivered with cold.
“Don’t worry, although I also create war slaves, I’m particular about my choices, and not just anyone will do.
Your strength is excellent among your peers, but to be my war slaves, you’re not qualified yet,” said the old lady’s voice, reaching Lin Chen’s ears.
He turned his head and t the old lady’s profound gaze, as if seeing through all the thoughts in his heart.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “Senior’s strength is so formidable, probably among the Quasi-Saints, where would you need a strength like mine, wouldn’t that just hold you back?”
“Quasi-Saint, hmph!”
The old lady snorted coldly, her gaze inscrutable, making it unclear what her emotions were.
With a wave of her hand, the Array Banners once again returned to her grasp, and she casually summoned a small flying boat.
“Co, you control the flying boat, and head west,” she commanded.
Lin Chen silently nodded, picked up Yue Chengtian and boarded the flying boat.
Just as Shang Wenyao was about to activate a Magical Treasure to cover her face, the old lady’s voice calmly interrupted, “No need to cover it, just like that.
With such a beautiful face, covering it is simply a waste.”
Shang Wenyao’s hand paused for a mont, then silently lowered.
“This face of mine has attracted many troubles; I cover it only wishing not to invite issues…” she explained.
“Now that you’re with , there’s no need to cover it.
If there’s anyone bold enough to cause trouble, kill them,” the old lady said coldly.
Shang Wenyao’s eyes brightened, and she obediently lowered her hand, gratefully responding, “Thank you, Senior!”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
Lin Chen had worried that with the old lady’s quirky character, upon seeing Shang Wenyao’s face which could be considered perfect, she might beco jealous.
After all, a woman’s most common feeling towards a more beautiful woman is not appreciation, but envy—wishing to completely destroy the other.
From the old lady’s tone, it seed she actually appreciated Shang Wenyao’s beauty?
“Senior, how may I address you?” Lin Chen asked.
The old lady replied coldly, “You’ve probably cursed in your heart as an ‘old witch’ plenty of tis, haven’t you?”
Lin Chen felt incredibly awkward, “Although Senior’s actions have left at a loss for words and will probably cause great trouble, I still hold imasurable admiration for your strength.
There are a million divine powers in the world, and among them, those involving ti and space are the most mysterious.
Even rarer are those who wield Ti Divine Abilities; Senior truly counts as one of the rare powerhouses of the world…”
The old lady turned to look at Lin Chen and asked calmly, “You sure have a way with words.
What is your Innate Divine Power?”
Lin Chen didn’t hesitate and candidly replied, “Five Elents Great Escape.”
The old lady was montarily taken aback, “That’s quite rare, interesting.”
Lin Chen chuckled, “My master had the sa comnt when he first t .”
The old lady waved her hand dismissively, “You probably can’t return to the Dragon Mountain Sect anymore.
From now on, follow …
you’ll either rise to prominence or die without a grave.”
Her words were filled with an irrepressible domineering spirit, and it was clear that this was her final decision, leaving no room for Lin Chen’s choice.
Lin Chen had no choice.
Lin Chen bitterly smiled, “I ca from a small place to begin with, all alone.
Along the way, I’ve offended countless and killed not a few, but I can face all that squarely.
After all, I’m not a bigshot or from any noteworthy background, so I take each day as it cos, with no regrets.”
“For soone as capable as Senior to see potential in , allowing to follow, that’s my fortune.
But Master Floating Cloud has been kind to , and if my actions bring trouble to him and the Dragon Mountain Sect, I would feel guilty, obstructing my Dao heart.”
“Senior, may I have your permission to record a ssage to my master, severing our ties, so he does not suffer on my account…”
The old lady scoffed, “You do value loyalty quite highly.
You’re afraid of implicating him, but aren’t you afraid of dying yourself?”
Lin Chen responded with a carefree laugh, “When I was still a mortal, I was a soldier, fighting on the battlefield, protecting my holand.
Life and death, I viewed indifferently.”
“In the Cultivation World, the strong ones rule; thrones are built atop white bones.
Those who fear death often et it, while those who do not may find a glimr of survival…”
