"Our eighteen people originally ventured into the Demon World, overcoming nurous hardships. In the end, we settled here, founded families, multiplied our race, and were later known as the Eighteen Ancestors. Do you, therefore, believe that our group is as close as brothers and sisters, sharing weal and woe, and life and death together?"
Lin Chen frowned, "Isn’t that the case?"
Par with Heaven took a sip of wine and sighed softly, "The eighteen of us originally didn’t belong to the sa team; we were drawn from various teams to undertake a mission in the Demon World. Indeed, we huddled together because at that ti, we were comrades in arms."
"But once we settled down in the Great Wilderness, with no external threats, our relationships loosened over ti. As ti passed, everyone had their own way of living, and it’s not necessary that we agreed with each other. In fact, there might have been secret struggles."
"If it hadn’t been for i Mingzhi holding things together for such a long ti, the internal bonds would likely have collapsed by now..."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "So, you’re saying that perhaps when facing the Desert People or the Demon Race, you would stand united, but within the Human Clan, as each of your families has its own interests, no longer are you cooperative partners but rather fierce competitors."
"In simple terms, you appear harmonious on the surface, but the relationships between you might actually not be good."
Par with Heaven nodded, "That’s pretty much it. More than a dozen people forming cliques. Back then, I couldn’t stand to watch, so I dropped everything to beco a doorkeeper here, refraining from any involvent, out of sight, out of mind."
Par with Heaven stared deeply into Lin Chen’s face, "Over such a long ti, many people have changed so much compared to before. Lv Shuyi is among those who’ve changed the most. I’ve heard so uncertified news about her that really surprised ."
Lin Chen remained silent, just listening quietly.
He knew that Par with Heaven had already confird Lv Shuyi’s disappearance was related to himself.
Perhaps he had suspected it all along but never had the opportunity to verify it.
Lin Chen subconsciously thought of the ti Par with Heaven gave him the jade pendant. Did he already know sothing? Was he worried about him getting into trouble, which is why he gave him the pendant?
Knowing about Lv Shuyi’s affair, could it be that even though he was now certain that it was Lin Chen who had acted, he still had no intention of troubling him? In his eyes, did he think that Lv Shuyi deserved such an outco?
"If you were one of the Desert People or the Demon Race, this matter would undoubtedly be thoroughly investigated, but as you are a mber of the Human Clan, a warrior of the War God Mansion, and since True Person Tai Xu had a past connection with her, no matter whether it’s now or the past, kindness or grudges, everything has its reasons, and that’s also why I don’t wish to pursue it."
"Although I’ve only seen you twice, from your past actions and how so many people faithfully follow you, I can tell your character. If you took action against her, there must’ve been a reason to do so..."
Upon saying this, Par with Heaven sighed, "She went down the wrong path."
Hearing this last sentence, Lin Chen was almost certain that Par with Heaven knew of Lv Shuyi’s perverse conduct but was powerless to do anything.
With Lv Shuyi’s crazy and eccentric temperant, even if Par with Heaven advised her, why would she listen?
Lin Chen raised his wine glass and clinked it against Par with Heaven’s, saying calmly, "Heaven’s atrocities can be forgiven, one’s own cannot live through."
Par with Heaven asked, "Will she die?"
Lin Chen smiled, "He who kills, must expect to be killed."
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s response, Par with Heaven roughly understood; it seed like the jade pendant he gave had been ineffective.
Lin Chen, under the watchful eyes of the public, had infuriated Lv Shuyi that madwoman. She must have been annoyed and tried to secretly deal with Lin Chen, only to provoke his counterattack.
Lin Chen, known as the Little Killing God on the battlefield and having earned such a formidable reputation at such a young age, was not soone easily dealt with, was he?
Lv Shuyi was very powerful, perhaps thinking she could easily crush Lin Chen, but it turned out she was the one to be defeated.
Par with Heaven’s face showed hesitation, but in the end, he said nothing.
Lv Shuyi was already intending harm; what right did he have to plead for her?
Let her be dead.
Her death would save countless innocent lives.
Changing topics, Par with Heaven took the initiative, "Let tell you about this Thunder Secret Realm..."
Par with Heaven detailed his initial experience entering Thunder Secret Realm and spoke of many other people’s experiences.
Lin was quite surprised, how co this Thunder Secret Realm was like the earlier Linglong Tower, where every person who entered faced different encounters?
After a long session of drinking, perhaps Par with Heaven had sothing on his mind, for he actually ended up drunk today.
Lin helped Par with Heaven to bed, and just when he was about to leave, the one on the bed suddenly spoke, "Lin Kid..."
Lin turned around, and Par with Heaven, eyes still closed as if talking in his sleep, said, "People from the Lv Family might co looking for you, be careful."
Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly, were they going to resort to using force?
Lin made a sound of affirmation, "No fear, let them co!"
Par with Heaven didn’t respond again, turning over and dozing off with heavy snores.
Lin stepped out of the room, gently closed the door behind him, and walked away with an easy stride.
Two days later, Lin was resting at Dawn Camp when a soldier suddenly ca knocking.
"Team leader, Secretary i Mingzhi is looking for you."
Has it really co to this?
Lin walked out of Dawn Camp, only to see a tall, burly man standing at the entrance with his hands behind his back, looking leisurely at the distant sky.
Hearing footsteps, i Mingzhi turned his head, sizing up Lin.
"You’ve been here for so ti, and now I finally get to et you, Little Killing God."
Lin smiled and saluted, "Junior Lin Chen, has seen Senior!"
i Mingzhi gave a slight smile, "Join for a walk?"
"Sure!"
i Mingzhi started walking, and instantly covered a great distance, with Lin following calmly and closely behind, not lagging in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, the two had left the Great Wilderness Temple and arrived above the wilderness, with i Mingzhi slowing down atop a mountain peak.
Lin followed suit, landing alongside i Mingzhi at the edge of a cliff, their robes fluttering in the wild wind.
"Do you also master the Technique of Space?"
Lin shook his head, "I learned a technique for escaping from a Senior, it’s sowhat related to space."
i Mingzhi asked, "Which Sect did you co from?"
Lin replied, "I hail from an insignificant place, not worth ntioning. Along the way, I’ve joined several sects, the last being Dragon Mountain Sect from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain."
i Mingzhi nodded, "I’ve heard of it."
Lin went straight to the point, "Senior sought out today, do you have any guidance?"
i Mingzhi turned to look at Lin and said, "A good number of people from the Lv Family ca looking for you, but I stopped them..."
Lin laughed carefreely, "Is it about Lv Shuyi’s disappearance?"
i Mingzhi nodded, "Yes, is she with you?"
Lin said with a laugh, "Senior, you think too highly of . She is one of the Ancestral Masters of the Human Clan, extrely powerful. I’m but a Middle Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal; she’s not soone I can confront..."
