Chapter 3210: Chapter 3230: Any Scheming, Safety First!
Being stared at by Lu Yunfeng like this, Lin Chen instantly understood.
Indeed, given the deep affection between Qi and Gu Yue, Qi would definitely try to find Gu Yue and rescue him as long as there was an opportunity.
If Lu Yunfeng’s conjecture is correct, then Gu Yue might indeed still be alive, imprisoned sowhere, waiting for Qi to rescue him, and this place must surely be a colossal trap.
Lu Yunfeng knew about so much, but the most crucial question, he did not know.
If Gu Yue is not dead, then where is he imprisoned?
Lin Chen furrowed his brow, sinking into deep thought.
Lu Yunfeng and others dealing with Gu Yue itself had many suspicious points, Qingluan Immortal Monarch had not shown up from beginning to end, only an unknown leader who led the entire hunting and killing.
Without considering other possible factors for now, there’s a very important question, who exactly is trying to deal with Gu Yue, Qingluan Immortal Monarch or the Immortal Emperor?
If this matter was just Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s personal initiative, then to rescue Gu Yue, perhaps they only need to consider Qingluan Immortal Monarch temporarily, but if this matter is led by the Immortal Emperor and Qingluan Immortal Monarch is just a proxy acting on behalf of his Master, then this matter would be extrely troubleso.
Saints, are they sothing that Lin Chen and others presently could deal with?
If the opponent is only Qingluan Immortal Monarch, then under the premise of knowing the enemy and I hidden, perhaps calculating a bit, there might be a slight possibility of success.
Qi, looking at the pensive Lin Chen, softly said: “Knowing that he might still be in this world, this is already the best news. So many ten thousand years have passed, I don’t mind waiting a bit longer.”
“Let’s stop here for now regarding this matter, don’t investigate further. After all, we are still too weak right now, utterly incapable of contending with the Immortal Emperor, even with Qingluan Immortal Monarch, once exposed, not only us but also the people around us will be unlucky.”
Lin Chen raised his head, looking at Qi whose expression had returned to calmness and softly said: “Should we try Pan Yue again?”
Qi shook her head: “No need, in the beginning, the only ones who revealed their identities were Pan Yue and Lu Yunfeng, now that we have captured Lu Yunfeng, and Bai i Manor has been leveled to the ground, this matter must have already alard quite a few people, triggering a lot of speculation. If we capture Pan Yue as well, their simultaneous disappearance would make it obvious to anyone thoughtful that soone is investigating his disappearance years ago.”
Lin Chen thought about it and it made sense. One accident with Lu Yunfeng or Pan Yue might raise suspicions, but two incidents one after another would be clearly telling other people.
Those ten or so hidden Quasi-Saints, Qingluan Immortal Monarch and others, as soon as they know this news, would definitely understand what’s going on.
Hold on a bit!
At least now he should first prove his innocence in this matter!
To defeat a Quasi-Saint or even silently capture a Quasi-Saint, those must also be Quasi-Saints.
There are so many Quasi-Saints in the entire Immortal Realm, if soone truly investigates with intention, the circle could shrink to a very small range in a blink.
So Lin Chen should prove his innocence right now, when people look into it later, they won’t suspect him. This way, he could hide in the dark, waiting for the next suitable opportunity to continue investigating this matter.
Whatever you want to do, the most important thing is to preserve yourself first!
“Alright, let’s put aside Pan Yue for now.”
Lin Chen shifted his gaze, falling on Lu Yunfeng’s face: “Let’s just assu everything he said is true.”
Lu Yunfeng quickly assured: “My life is in your hands now; where would I dare to lie? If I happen to lie, once you verify, wouldn’t my end co instantly?”
Lin Chen sneered, “As long as you know.”
Lu Yunfeng, with a pained expression, said, “I’ve already said everything I know; can you let down now? You can’t just leave hanging here, especially since I don’t know how long I might be in this tower.”
Lin Chen said gravely, “If you don’t want to hang, that’s fine. Hand over your True Soul, and I can let you live freely in the world inside the tower.”
Lu Yunfeng’s face changed drastically. Though he was now captured by Lin Chen and others, reduced to a re prisoner, his life was no longer in his own control. Yet in so sense, he was still free. But if he handed over his True Soul, then for the rest of his life, he would be forced to act on Lin Chen’s commands.
Even if Lu Yunfeng regained his freedom and left the Linglong Tower, he wouldn’t be able to escape the fate of being enslaved by Lin Chen.
Lu Yunfeng wavered. It seed that Lin Chen was prepared to keep his promise and wouldn’t kill him right after getting the information. But if he refused to submit, Lin Chen would definitely not let him stay freely in this world. After all, as a Quasi-Saint, he could be quite destructive, and Lin Chen had to be cautious.
What if he attacked the Artifact Spirit?
But Lu Yunfeng also knew that resolving this situation might take an unknown amount of ti. He might have to stay here far too long. If he did not submit, he would likely remain under incarceration indefinitely.
If he submitted now, he would gain freedom within the tower, but when real danger approached, he would definitely beco a Retainer who charges into traps for Lin Chen, and Lin Chen would certainly not spare his life, treating him like a dispensable pawn.
With a rapid shift in thoughts, Lu Yunfeng showed an awkward expression on his face, “I think hanging in mid-air and enjoying the scenery isn’t too bad.”
“Isn’t too bad?”
Lin Chen smiled coldly, “Then you’re happy too soon.”
Lu Yunfeng’s eyes widened, and before he could speak, the chains locking him suddenly slid swiftly, hurtling him from the sky towards the ground.
Just as he was about to crash into the ground, the ground abruptly split open, revealing a dark path leading to an abyss as if descending into hell, the chains extended, and Lu Yunfeng instantly plunged into this endless dark abyss.
Lu Yunfeng did not know how long he had fallen when his body suddenly stopped.
Lu Yunfeng looked up, and the faint line of light above suddenly disappeared; the cracked ground had closed up again.
Lu Yunfeng was enveloped in boundless darkness, with no sound around, as if he were in a serene tomb.
A hint of panic crept into Lu Yunfeng’s heart. His Sea of Knowledge was sealed, his ridians were sealed, and now he was locked in this underground tomb; it was difficult indeed.
This guy must be deliberately tornting him!
Because he refused to hand over his True Soul, he was sent into a place akin to the depths of hell.
Reflecting on the possibility of being hung here for hundreds, thousands, or even longer years, Lu Yunfeng was overwheld with despair.
Should he simply submit?
This guy, capable of manipulating four Quasi-Saints, is clearly no ordinary person. Submitting to him might not be too disgraceful.
His life was hanging by a thread; if one day it runs out, then surely he would inevitably face death too.
In other words, his fate was now tied to him.
If he succeeds, Lu Yunfeng might have a glimr of hope, but if he fails, his death was certain.
Given this, what was the point in his current defiance?
