Faced with Zhao Tianjue’s words, Lin Chen laughed heartily.
"The inheritance left in the Holy Domain is not the Tao Spirit. Chen Ancestor is about to die, yet you’re telling he would go to great lengths to prepare a Tao Spirit for future inheritors? Do you think that’s possible?"
Uh...
Zhao Tianjue’s eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.
He made a good point.
If it were myself, having received the inheritance but still being at Sub-Saint strength, should I put on an act when I leave?
Most likely, yes!
After all, nobody can guarantee a Saint won’t get tempted, secretly kidnap , and forcefully take away the Chen Ancestor inheritance.
Zhao Tianjue pondered internally, but his expression remained cold and stern, "You say he received the inheritance, then what about you and Mu Ran? Why would he let you leave alive?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I can tell you the truth of the matter, but after this, we go our separate ways. Don’t look for trouble with again, as if we never t, how about it?"
Zhao Tianjue sneered in his heart; since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving today.
"Fine, as long as you tell the truth and Mu Ran’s current situation, everything between us is written off!"
Lin Chen was acting.
Zhao Tianjue was also acting.
Zhao Tianjue’s target was Lin Chen, but he also wanted to know about Zhao Muran’s current condition.
Lin Chen’s targets weren’t only Zhao Tianjue, but also Liu Xian behind him, while also probing if others knew about his matters.
If the Black Emperor Palace people knew of his matters, he might have to consider other thods. After all, in such circumstances, killing Zhao Tianjue might escalate things.
The two continued their act.
Lin Chen accepted Zhao Tianjue’s promise without even needing the other party to swear a Heavenly Dao Blood Oath, agreeing to his terms.
"Zhao Muran is still alive, but she is trapped in the Holy Domain."
"She has a Magical Treasure that can open a Hidden Space, where she can hide, and outsiders can’t find her."
Zhao Tianjue’s eyes lit up; he knew this Magical Treasure well, as it was a secret item he prepared for Zhao Muran.
Zhao Tianjue had instructed Zhao Muran that if she encountered great danger, she should hide in the space, stay concealed, and wait for an opportunity.
Once the Holy Domain inheritor is confird, Zhao Tianjue would approach the inheritor, using his identity as an elder of the Black Emperor Palace, to make a deal and bring Zhao Muran back.
In the Holy Domain, conflict and fighting for advantages are normal tactics. But with an established inheritor, there’s no need to kill Zhao Muran, and one must respect the face of the Black Emperor Palace.
This was why Zhao Tianjue felt assured about Zhao Muran entering the Holy Domain; even if she couldn’t win, he could at least ensure she wouldn’t die.
During the previous period, when he heard Xi Dongcheng didn’t receive the inheritance, he was still hoping.
It was clear that three had died, and Lin Chen must also be dead, so the surviving ones were Xi Dongcheng and Zhao Muran. If Xi Dongcheng got eliminated, did that an the victor was Zhao Muran?
However, today Lin Chen appeared out of nowhere, telling Zhao Tianjue that Xi Dongcheng was the victor.
"Did you know Xi Dongcheng defected from the West King Palace?"
Zhao Tianjue looked puzzled, "When did this happen?"
"Just recently."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "In the past few years since he returned to the sect, through his exceptional performance, he gained the approval of the Refinent Peak Sect Leader, who lent him a Top-grade Heavenly chanism Umbrella to study refining techniques. Then he took off with it."
"Guess why, as a core disciple of the West King Palace with a boundless future, he would defect, and even take the Heavenly chanism Umbrella that conceals his Breath to prevent tracking before his defection?"
Zhao Tianjue’s eyes instantly brightened.
"He received the Holy Domain inheritance, likely obtaining sothing truly extraordinary, and the sect might have asked him to hand it over, leading to his dissatisfaction and defection. To prevent being tracked, he stole the Heavenly chanism Umbrella before leaving, right?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "That’s what I think, too."
Zhao Tianjue, previously doubtful, now believed it suddenly.
So that’s the truth!
No wonder I played along with your act for so long!
Since I’ve obtained the information I wanted, now kid, you can die.
Just as Zhao Tianjue was about to make a move, Lin Chen continued speaking, "I’ve told you the whole truth now. If you want to save Zhao Muran, you can try looking into the West King Palace. He’s been back for quite a while, so the Sacred Domain Manipulation Technique has surely been handed over to the West King Palace. They might allow him to keep so Cultivation Techniques and Divine Powers, but they won’t leave such a perfectly intact Holy Domain to him."
Zhao Tianjue laughed, "Alright, I understand."
Lin Chen continued asking, "I’ve fulfilled my promise, so let’s write off what happened before. By the way, does anyone else in your sect know about my matters? I hope you won’t stop pursuing only for others in your sect to co looking for trouble."
Zhao Tianjue burst out laughing, "Don’t worry, only Mu Ran and I know about your matters. I haven’t told anyone else, so apart from , no one else will co after you."
As Zhao Tianjue spoke, he silently activated the Sky Restriction Talisman.
Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile appearing on his face.
All this talk was just to lower your guard, making you believe I ca to reconcile, and to draw so real information from your mouth?
By now, I presu you think you’re about to win, ready to make your move against , right?
"If no one else knows, that’s good. I don’t want anyone to find out I have the Star Chart Spirit..."
Lin Chen acted cautiously. Speaking so much was firstly to extract information, secondly as precautionary asure just in case.
What if the opponent managed to escape?
If the opponent truly ran away, these words would take effect. This was Lin Chen’s way of patching up his current endeavor.
As long as he doesn’t believe I obtained the Holy Domain inheritance, he won’t go whispering to a Heaven Deity about and will only secretly look for opportunities to deal with , hoping to obtain my Star Chart Spirit.
Achieving this effect ensures Lin Chen’s safety for this journey.
If no one runs away, then nothing more needs to be said.
Be smarter in the next life.
Zhao Tianjue, estimating that the Sky Restriction Talisman was already effective, smiled wickedly and maliciously, "They won’t bother you, because today you’ll beco my prey, and your Star Chart Spirit will be mine!"
Lin Chen’s Divine Sense flickered, imdiately sensing the abnormality in the surrounding space.
This guy has used a thod to seal the surroundings.
Lin Chen wasn’t anxious; instead, he relaxed.
Since the opponent intends to take my life, naturally he won’t tell anyone else, which ans it’s just Zhao Tianjue here now.
This space, for the mont, neither of us can escape.
Lin Chen sneered, "What, you’re planning to go back on your word? I tell you, since I dared to see you, of course, I ca prepared."
Zhao Tianjue laughed heartily, "Prepared? Haha, what preparation, show it, let see!"
