Since Lin Chen had already considered Wang An as soone who must be killed in his heart, there was naturally no need to lash out in anger.
Perhaps in others’ eyes, it was a case of being unable to express anger, but so what?
Isn’t that just perfect!
A different race slave, facing the humiliation of the Heavenly God Clan’s Saint, nearly lost his life but dared not resist at all.
How fitting is this logic!
If that’s the case, when Wang An ets with an accident and dies without reason, who would associate it with myself?
"Wang An! I warn you, although Lin Chen is of a different race, he is Huo Lingshuang’s person and is also considered a disciple of the Heavenly Crane Sect. If you ignore the seniority and injure or kill him, you will surely ignite a war between the two sects. The consequences then will be yours to bear!"
Wang An ignored Zhang Chenghu’s stern warning and laughed, "Just testing the skills, no need to be so tense. Go, I’ll wait for your results."
Wang An arrogantly led his team away. Behind them, Zhang Chenghu’s face was ashen, and Zhao Yilong looked stern.
They naturally guessed Wang An’s intentions, but since Lin Chen was unhard and Wang An claid it was just a test, they couldn’t truly turn against him and could only watch Wang An leave swaggeringly.
Ultimately, this matter boiled down to the fact that the Cang Mang Sect’s strength was greater than that of the Heavenly Crane Sect; otherwise, how could Wang An dare to be so presumptuous?
After Wang An and his group left, Zhao Yilong turned his head to look at Lin Chen, his gaze complicated.
"Lin Chen, I’m sorry, I’m afraid we can’t stand up for you in this matter..."
Lin Chen smiled slightly, "I understand."
Zhang Chenghu frowned, "What do you understand?"
Lin Chen replied, "He wants to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. He doesn’t dare make a move against formal disciples of the Heavenly Crane Sect like Huo Lingshuang, so I, as a different race slave, beco the best target. It intimidates without completely angering the Heavenly Crane Sect."
"Wang An insists it was just appreciation for a junior, thus there is no reason to stand up. The most important thing is the Heavenly Crane Sect’s strength is not as good as the Cang Mang Sect’s, possessing only defensive power, and naturally cannot take the initiative to start a war."
"The two seniors stepping in at the first mont to help out, I am already deeply grateful, and there’s no need to think about standing up. After all, I am unhard, and it’s best not to create more incidents before the mineral war."
Zhao Yilong and Zhang Chenghu exchanged a glance, each seeing surprise in the others’ eyes.
This kid is impressive!
He sees things very clearly!
Zhang Chenghu said solemnly, "You need to understand one thing: we don’t stand up for you not because you are of a different race, or are Huo Lingshuang’s subordinate with a low status, but because, as you said, our Heavenly Crane Sect’s strength is indeed much weaker than the Cang Mang Sect."
"Even if he had acted against a Heavenly Crane Sect disciple or Huo Lingshuang just now, as long as there were no injuries, we would find it hard to engage in a big fight with the opponent."
"This ti we ca with a mindset to watch the show, and only my senior brother and I from the sect’s saints ca. Even if we made a move, we couldn’t handle the opponent, and might even be humiliated by the other side..."
Lin Chen cupped his hands, "I understand, seniors. I hold no resentnt in my heart. On the contrary, I am already very grateful that you two seniors acted imdiately to rescue and explain things to ."
What Lin Chen said was not false. At the mont Wang An made his move, Zhang Chenghu attacked Wang An, Zhao Yilong flashed in front of the two of them, and Huo Lingshuang’s flas roared and attacked Wang An; these were almost instinctual choices.
Even if their actions were not very useful and if it were not for Lin Chen’s self-rescue, they wouldn’t have been able to save him. But whether they could save him or not wasn’t important; the key was their instinct to act imdiately.
Moreover, the two even issued an extrely stern warning to Wang An, even threatening a sect war, which primarily was to maintain the dignity of the Heavenly Crane Sect, but ultimately also protected him.
Lin Chen felt a bit more fondness for the Heavenly Crane Sect at this mont.
Although the Heavenly Crane Sect’s strength seed unimpressive, the atmosphere within the sect seed quite good?
Zhao Yilong’s voice was warm as he comforted, "Previously, he was unexpected and still had an excuse, but now that we’ve clarified your identity, if he strikes again, it would be an intentional provocation, triggering a sect war, and he couldn’t bear that responsibility, so don’t worry, he won’t strike at you again."
Lin Chen nodded, "I understand, senior."
Zhao Yilong smiled and said, "You all should go back and rest first, we still need to discuss the bet they proposed."
Lin Chen followed Huo Lingshuang into her residence. After closing the room door, Huo Lingshuang bowed to Lin Chen apologetically and said, "Master, I’m sorry, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen either. If I had known, we would have left after the eting without staying."
Lin Chen smiled and helped the apologizing Huo Lingshuang to her feet, smiling, "This matter was purely an accident and has nothing to do with you, how could I bla you?"
Huo Lingshuang breathed a sigh of relief. She naturally knew it was indeed an accident, but who had her life in Lin Chen’s hands?
If Lin Chen were suspicious or blad her for the incident, could she expect any good outco?
Know that at this ti, Lin Chen not only holds her life but is also a Saint, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger.
"Master, how do you plan to respond to this matter?"
Lin Chen smiled calmly, "Revenge is a dish best served cold. This matter I’ve noted, and one day he will pay the price."
Lin Chen had just advanced to Sanctum Ascension, and although his strength far surpassed most saints at the sa level, Wang An was evidently a leading figure of the Cang Mang Sect, so his strength wouldn’t be low. It probably wouldn’t be easy for Lin Chen to take him down.
Huo Lingshuang felt a chill in her heart. She had been to the Linglong Tower and knew many of Lin Chen’s secrets, naturally understanding that Lin Chen was by no ans a soft-hearted person. Wang An’s attempt to kill Lin Chen today had clearly infuriated him.
At this mont, Wang An probably had no idea what kind of existence he had provoked and was still complacent.
After a brief exchange, Lin Chen returned to his room and ditated to restore his energy.
When Wang An attacked him, he didn’t display his true strength, as that would easily reveal his Saint’s power, so he used the Token given by the Immortal Emperor that day.
The Token contained an Array Formation that could store three Saint’s Powers, and Lin Chen, having beco a Saint, realized that this Token was actually a rechargeable Magical Treasure. As long as a Saint was willing to charge it, it could be used repeatedly.
Now Lin Chen was disguising as a Sub-Saint, so he charged the Token, allowing it to serve as his amulet at a critical mont.
For instance, today he activated the Immortal Emperor Order to block Wang An’s strike, and no one noticed anything unusual, everyone believed it was Lin Chen’s quick reaction that saved himself.
After sitting cross-legged for half a day, a knock sounded on the door.
Huo Lingshuang entered, her face sowhat embarrassed as she said, "Master, I now need your help..."
