Chapter 252: Chapter 252 Gravity Channel

"You cannot kill me, I’m from the Tianyu Empire, if you kill me, the Tianyu Empire won’t let you get away with it."

Faced with the three Stone Sculpture Puppets before him, the intruder’s heart was filled with panic. In his fright, he didn’t care anymore and blurted out his true identity, hoping to use it to make Lin Chen stop and save his own life.

Lin Chen was taken aback upon hearing this, not fully understanding the relationship between the Tianyu Empire and the Jade Cauldron Sect, but he didn’t command the three Stone Sculpture Puppets to stop either.

"Damn it, you really dare to kill me!"

Seeing that the three Stone Sculpture Puppets didn’t cease their actions, the leader of the intruders became exceedingly anxious. He cursed at Lin Chen and then exerted all his abilities to fend off the attacks of the three Puppets.

Hissss—

However, at that moment, Xu Lianyu suddenly became incredibly angry. Picking up the Treasured Sword she had just acquired, she executed her exquisite swordsmanship and, in a flash, appeared behind the intruder. Her sword pierced directly through the man’s heart, sending a chill through him. The Treasured Sword went through his body, and fresh blood flowed unceasingly from the wound, leaving the man to breathe his last.

"What’s gotten into Junior Sister?"

Lin Chen looked at Xu Lianyu, sensing that something was amiss, and slightly furrowed his brow, turning to inquire from Zhao Yijing and Liang Rou among others.

At this moment, the way Xu Lianyu looked at the intruder clearly held hatred—not because the intruder had come to the stone house, but because of a past grudge.

Seeing this, Zhao Yijing sighed and told Lin Chen the whole story.

It turned out that the grudge between the Black Cloud Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sect also involved two major empires.

Though the Great Flame Dynasty pursued a path of neutrality, not getting involved in the grudges between the Black Cloud Sect and the various Sects within the Empire, it also did not intervene; the Tianyu Empire, however, was different, as they were the supporters behind the Black Cloud Sect.

Ten years ago, the situation of the Jade Cauldron Sect was not like the present. Back then, within the Great Flame Dynasty, the Jade Cauldron Sect could be considered one of the most formidable Sects.

But ever since ten years ago, after the Black Cloud Sect brought back the Yin Sha Qi from the Mire Dragon Marsh Secret Realm, started refining the Yin Sha Puppets and the Yin Sha Poison, they began suppressing the Jade Cauldron Sect from all sides.

And the Tianyu Empire had been supporting the Black Cloud Sect all along.

Thus, the enemies of the Jade Cauldron Sect were not just the Black Cloud Sect but also the Tianyu Empire.

However, since the Tianyu Empire was so powerful, even the Great Flame Dynasty dared not interfere too much, and as a result, under the oppression of both the Black Cloud Sect and the Tianyu Empire, the Jade Cauldron Sect declined with each passing year, eventually falling from a first-rate Sect to the second-rate Sect it was now.

All of this was inextricably linked to the Tianyu Empire.

Because of the great strength of the Tianyu Empire, no Sect dared to publicly oppose it. Otherwise, once they gave them an excuse or a reason, even if the Great Flame Dynasty objected, they would surely come to kill. Hence, fearing the worsening of relations between the two nations, the Great Flame Dynasty had always played the role of peacekeeper, and the Jade Cauldron Sect, on the outside, could do nothing against the people of the Tianyu Empire.

But now things were different; they were inside ancient ruins. By revealing his identity as a martial artist from the Tianyu Empire, this intruder was practically seeking death.

Who would know who killed a person from the Tianyu Empire in these ancient ruins?

While outside, Xu Lianyu would still show some apprehension towards the Tianyu Empire, inside these ruins, it was naturally a case of killing anyone they encountered.

After all, Xu Lianyu was the daughter of the Sect Master of the Jade Cauldron Sect, and her hatred for the Tianyu Empire had been planted in her heart since she was a child, growing like a seed.

After hearing Zhao Yijing’s explanation, Lin Chen finally understood why Xu Lianyu was so agitated and took action to kill him.

"Are the martial artists from the Tianyu Empire all very strong? Second Sister, Third Sister, do you recognize these faces, and do you know how many of them have come this time?"

Lin Chen, as a member of the Jade Cauldron Sect, naturally wanted to share the concerns of his Sect.

Since these guys dared to come to the ruins, Lin Chen was determined to ensure they would not return.

"It seems there are over fifty martial artists, but the ones who came are not the true elites, just like with our Great Flame Dynasty. Junior Brother Lin Chen, are you thinking of..."

Liang Rou and Mu Shuier nodded, obviously having some recollections of the few martial artists before them, and considering the lineup they had seen when they first entered this place, they relayed the situation to Lin Chen. Seeing the expression on Lin Chen’s face, they seemed to understand what he truly intended to do.

"Forty or fifty people, huh!?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, a faint cold smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.

Then Lin Chen began to search the bodies of these martial artists, surprisingly finding quite a few treasures and materials. He selected some materials that would benefit him, and shared the rest with Xu Lianyu, Wang Fei, Qiu Ya, and others, including the magic treasures in the stone house.

The people outside, seeing Lin Chen’s three Stone Sculpture Puppets, had long since abandoned any ideas of going after Lin Chen.

It was a joke, after all, those three Stone Sculpture Puppets had the Cultivation of the Heaven-reaching Realm; they certainly weren’t eager to rush to their deaths.

Afterward, Lin Chen and his companions left the stone house and continued forward. Their ultimate goal was the Cultivation Technique inheritance within the Descension Cave Mansion.

After passing through the stone house corridor, they came to a very narrow channel, only wide enough for about five people to walk shoulder to shoulder.

But the length was exceedingly long, stretching beyond sight, with light flickering in the distance, yet it was impossible to see clearly what lay ahead, adding to the mystery.

After entering the mansion and getting past the stone houses, this was the only path left. Clearly, to obtain the inheritance of this mansion, they had only this path to traverse.

At this moment, there were already many people in the narrow channel, but strangely, their steps were very slow, as if each one was exceedingly difficult to take.

"What’s going on here, I’ll go have a look."

Lin Chen informed everyone and then flew towards the narrow channel. However, as soon as he took flight and reached the channel, a massive force suddenly hit him, making his body incredibly heavy, causing him to fall straight from the sky to the ground.

Other people, upon seeing this, had no extra thoughts to laugh at Lin Chen, simply viewing him as another ignorant newcomer.

It was only then that Lin Chen realized that walking on this narrow channel meant withstanding gravity ten times heavier than usual.

Under such gravity, every step was extremely arduous, let alone flying.

Lin Chen returned and informed Zhao Yijing and the others of this discovery; together, they all proceeded towards the narrow channel.

Desiring the inheritance, they naturally had no reason to stop.
