Capítulo 3428: Chapter 3448 Acting
Lin Chen had been listening attentively to the two’s conversation, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
The first level was considered passed.
Ning Hesheng also breathed a sigh of relief; after all, protecting Lin Chen’s safety was also protecting his own safety.
Convincing the sect’s Saints not to lay hands on Lin Chen, not to covet the Star Chart Spirit, ant they were more than halfway successful.
As for the possibility of the sect wanting to use Lin Chen’s divine powers, Lin Chen had already ntioned, it’s not a problem.
He was hiding in the Qiyun Sect, so he still had to contribute; otherwise, wouldn’t that be suspicious?
Would a slave act like a lord within the sect?
Is this reasonable?
Zhang Yang asked, “The control thods used on him, are they reliable?”
Ning Hesheng replied, “To prevent any trickery from the other side, Huo Lingshuang and I each imposed a thod; I used the Primordial Spirit Lock.”
Zhang Yang nodded: “Since enough thods have been enforced, there’s no need to further restrict his strength. He is now considered one of our Qiyun Sect; treat him well.”
Ning Hesheng cupped his hands in agreent: “Yes!”
Zhang Yang turned to Lin Chen and asked, “What is your na?”
“Lin Chen.”
Zhang Yang didn’t inquire further, for affairs of the Lower Realm, Lin Chen’s matters, mattered little to him.
“Lin Chen, under the current circumstances, are you willing to accept this willingly?”
Lin Chen calmly replied, “If one of them had acted, they might not have caught , but since I’ve been captured, I accept my fate, after all, I don’t want to die.”
A smile appeared on Zhang Yang’s face; Lin Chen’s words indicated he was unwilling in defeat, but the fact was, he accepted his fate, he didn’t want to die, and thus would comply with orders.
“Since you’ve accepted your fate, well then, listen well to Ning Hesheng in the future. As long as you complete the tasks assigned to you, we won’t mistreat you.”
Zhang Yang’s tone was gentle: “Coming from the Lower Realm to the Divine Realm, this is indeed an opportunity. As long as you serve the sect loyally, perhaps one day you will Breakthrough and beco a Saint, an opportunity you could never attain in the Lower Realm.”
Lin Chen raised his head, his eyes filled with hope: “Would you be willing to give the Tao Spirit?”
Zhang Yang gently stroked his beard, the image of an expert: “As long as you strive to serve the sect, and there cos an opportunity in the future, it wouldn’t be impossible to grant you a Tao Spirit. What is your Spiritual Root?”
Lin Chen answered honestly: “Five Elents Spirit Root.”
Zhang Yang’s expression suddenly beca stiff, the words he was about to utter stuck in his throat.
Five Elents Spirit Root!
Wouldn’t that require five Tao Spirits?
Who would be willing to give a captive five Tao Spirits? With so many Tao Spirits, it would surely be used for the sect’s promising disciples.
Wouldn’t multiple Saints be more preferable?
Give them to a captive?
And not even a captive exclusively belonging to the Qiyun Sect!
For a mont, Zhang Yang couldn’t even tell a lie, as the words would sound too false, even he wouldn’t believe it.
“This is indeed troubleso, but who can say what the future holds? Anyway, you should just stay put for now.”
Considering Lin Chen still held value, they had to pacify him well, lest they push Lin Chen too far, and he uses the Star Sky Transmission opportunity to burn everything, what then?
Or perhaps create so chaos, which would be hard to deal with.
Thus, for such ability and divine power, pacification is paramount.
Lin Chen’s expression seed sowhat disappointed, but he still nodded, appearing resigned to his fate.
Zhang Yang looked at Ning Hesheng: “You two should go rest, once things here are done, we will return to the sect.”
Ning Hesheng asked, “Is there anything else that needs to be done?”
Zhang Yang smiled: “It’s just so routine procedures, nothing specific.”
“Alright!”
Ning Hesheng led Lin Chen into the Qiyun Sect’s station, where there were about twenty people, all Qiyun Sect disciples, who greeted Ning Hesheng respectfully, calling him Senior Brother.
Quickly, Ning Hesheng brought Lin Chen into a room: “You can rest here; I’ve lifted my prohibition, but don’t think about running, if you do, I will show no rcy and kill you.”
“You have special divine power, which is valuable to our Qiyun Sect, as well as to the future Heavenly Crane Sect, so as long as you work for us enthusiastically, we will view you as part of the sect, giving you ample protection, and won’t look down on you for being a Lower Realm cultivator.”
“The Deputy Sect Master has already told you, just stay here with peace of mind, we will not mistreat you…”
Ning Hesheng naturally spoke these words for the disciples outside the room to hear; with these words, Lin Chen would not be seen as a slave looked down upon by all in the Qiyun Sect but as a talent with special divine power, a valued mber of the sect.
Lin Chen controlled his life, so naturally, he had to enhance Lin Chen’s standing within the sect as best as he could while ensuring his safety, they couldn’t truly treat him as a lowly slave to be insulted and humiliated at will?
With the Deputy Sect Master’s words and attitude, even if other disciples prided themselves as Heavenly God Clan and looked down on Lin Chen in their bones, at least on the surface, they had to show a bit of respect.
For Lin Chen, a new arrival, this was already quite good, given that as a different race from the Lower Realm, no matter his Sub-Saint strength, in the eyes of the Heavenly God Clan, it truly ant nothing, just a slave to be killed at will.
As long as you had enough money, you could buy as many powerful slaves as you wanted, killing one every day would still be your freedom.
Ning Hesheng faked a speech, also pretentiously lifted Lin Chen’s prohibition, finally saying: “Although I’ve lifted your prohibition and restored your strength, you’re not allowed to leave the station; otherwise, if you run into others, they might not show you a kind face.”
Lin Chen replied: “Understood!”
Lin Chen didn’t deliberately show Ning Hesheng much respect, simply agreeing calmly.
I may be at your rcy, but were you the only one who defeated and captured ?
Though I accept my fate, I’m not willing to obey, feeling internally troubled, so what?
Isn’t it allowed?
Such an attitude is quite reasonable!
Ning Hesheng didn’t make much of a comnt, simply leaving with, “Have a good rest.”
Lin Chen closed the room door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and took a dicinal pill for his injuries, closing his eyes.
The injuries on Lin Chen’s body were indeed real, though mostly superficial, intended to make it appear more convincing.
Every step here was fraught with danger; in such an entirely unfamiliar place, naturally, he had to be cautious. A single oversight could an eternal damnation.
Fortunately, he had finally mixed in.
As Ning Hesheng had said, the established rule was that captives belong to whoever caught them, unless you’re willing to sell; otherwise, in such public settings, no one dared to break the rules.
Luckily, otherwise, Zhao Muran from the Black Emperor Sect probably wouldn’t relent; who knows what thods she might employ later.
With the Saint Zhang Yang alongside, there shouldn’t be any more issues, right?
Hopefully, nothing further happens, allowing him to return to Qiyun Sect with Ning Hesheng in peace, providing himself a safe refuge to get through the transition phase of being a new arrival…
