Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Occupying Divine Sun City

Lin Chen was able to detect the lingering Yin Sha Qi thanks to his cultivation of the Primordial Transformation Art, which allowed him to see the not fully dissipated Yin Sha Qi on Lu Feiyun’s body.

That is to say, before Lu Feiyun returned to the sect, he had actually been afflicted with the Yin Sha Poison, but later managed to resolve it himself.

Lin Chen suspected that the people of the Black Cloud Sect might not have known that Lu Feiyun was their spy within Jade Cauldron Sect when they initially clashed, and only after they had poisoned him and he explained himself did they realize his identity and subsequently cure him.

All this became the key reason for Lin Chen’s suspicion towards Lu Feiyun.

"I see, but the reasons you’ve mentioned are only enough for you to suspect Senior Brother Lu, so how does Senior Brother Bai also know about it?"

Zhao Rushi asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this question, Lin Chen simply shook his head.

"When did I ever say that I suspected Bai Shengyi? The person I’ve been aware of has always been only Lu Feiyun. But who could have known that this incident would expose Bai Shengyi as well?"

"Perhaps he thought that after this matter, Jade Cauldron Sect would no longer exist, so there was no longer any need to conceal his true identity."

Lin Chen spoke calmly, and upon hearing his words, the others sighed and shook their heads, looking at the distant corpses of Lu Feiyun and Bai Shengyi, still feeling a sense of sorrow.

"What about when you evaded their attacks earlier? They clearly struck you down, splitting your body in two."

Hong Yanbing looked at Lin Chen and slowly asked.

Although he felt it was somewhat inappropriate to question Lin Chen at this moment, curiosity was gnawing at him.

"Heh, no comment. That’s my secret,"

"What, does Peak Master Hong want to know so he can deal with me in the future?"

Lin Chen said, looking at Hong Yanbing with a faint smile.

"No, no, Junior Nephew Lin Chen, you misunderstand. I definitely don’t harbor such thoughts,"

"I admit that I have been inappropriate towards Junior Nephew Lin Chen in the past, and I hope you won’t hold it against me,"

Hong Yanbing’s face turned green at Lin Chen’s words.

In this battle, Lin Chen could be said to be the hero and savior of the Jade Cauldron Sect; Hong Yanbing was not without conscience.

Naturally, he treated Lin Chen as if he were his benefactor.

Since Lin Chen did not wish to speak further, no one pressed him for answers.

After all, a life-saving method like Lin Chen’s was something no one would share with others.

Xu San, watching his master’s attitude towards Lin Chen, couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

Thinking back on how he had treated Lin Chen previously, he was terrified.

If Lin Chen took any disliking to him, and if old grievances were brought up, then he would be finished.

So, Xu San decisively knelt before Lin Chen and admitted his past blindness and offense against Lin Chen, earnestly pleading Lin Chen not to take his petty actions to heart.

Hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head and didn’t take it seriously.

People like Xu San, he hadn’t regarded with importance for a long time.

As long as Xu San didn’t provoke him, he would dismiss Xu San like a fart. If Xu San truly had a death wish and provoked him again, then Lin Chen wouldn’t mind striking to kill him at his leisure.

At the moment, all the elixirs Lin Chen was taking were Fourth-Grade Elixirs, but to quickly recover from his injuries and restore his Spiritual Power, he couldn’t care less about the pain it caused his wallet.

At the same time, Lin Chen also took out some Third-Grade Elixirs for Xu Ma’an and others. Now that the great battle was over, the Jade Cauldron Sect needed to quickly recover its strength and secure control over Divine Sun City.

Although many powerful warriors from the Great Flame Imperial Family had perished in this great battle, there were still many military forces remaining within Divine Sun City. Their attitudes, whether they would surrender to the Jade Cauldron Sect or resist to the end, were still unclear.

Furthermore, among the various Sects that had just fought, who could say whether some might discover the end of the battle at Divine Sun City and wish to return for a share of the spoils? That too remained uncertain.

Although Third-Grade Elixirs were not very effective for cultivators in the Reverting Void Realm, they were certainly faster than recovering by absorbing Spiritual Power alone.

Time flew, and two hours later, Lin Chen and Xu Ma’an, among others, had restored themselves to their peak condition.

Then the group began to divide tasks. Yang Yuemin took some people directly to the treasury of Divine Sun City and the Great Flame Imperial Family, while Xu Ma’an and others took people to clear out the other martial artists within Divine Sun City. Those who left were left alone, but those intent on taking a share were treated as enemies.

Cultivators naturally vie for the fortunes of heaven and earth; although their actions might seem cruel, this was the way of survival in the Cultivation World.

The Jade Cauldron Sect had received the message sent by Xu Ma’an early on. All Peak Masters and True Disciples had arrived to begin purging Divine Sun City.

The military martial artists from the Great Flame Imperial Family who had remained in Divine Sun City also made wise choices, one after another pledging allegiance to the Jade Cauldron Sect.

The great battle had not caused significant losses for the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect, but two Peak Masters had been lost, resulting in a major dip in strength. However, once Divine Sun City was fully under control, it wouldn’t take long to cultivate fresh blood.

In fact, Lin Chen didn’t tell others how he had survived the attacks from Lu Feiyun and Bai Shengyi because, as his Second Soul Division, he could enter the space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron. The one killed by Bai Shengyi and Lu Feiyun was a Talisman Puppet he had refined.

And a Talisman Puppet endowed with Divine Sense, at that—a technique unknown to anyone else Lin Chen knew of, and one only he possessed.

So naturally, such a secret was not something he would expose.

Moreover, refining a puppet with Divine Sense required countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. Even Lin Chen had managed to refine only a few of them.

Soon after, Lin Chen’s main body and his Second Soul Division split up to pursue different paths.

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division first went to the treasury of the Great Flame Imperial Family organized by Yang Yuemin. The battle at Divine Sun City had consumed quite a few of Lin Chen’s trump cards and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. With most of his elixirs and Talisman Inscriptions used up, Lin Chen naturally wanted to replenish them.

And naturally, Xu Ma’an and the others agreed with this decision. After all, if it wasn’t for Lin Chen, Divine Sun City would not have been conquered, and the Jade Cauldron Sect would not have been able to take over.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen’s main body went to the Wanxing Commerce Association of the Great Flame Imperial Family.

The Wanxing Commerce Association was also a property of the Great Flame Imperial Family, and it was home to many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, which Lin Chen definitely wouldn’t miss out on.

Before long, Lin Chen arrived at the entrance of the Wanxing Commerce Association, feeling a rush of emotions.

Not long ago, Yu Weilian had invited him to attend an auction there, and now he was returning with a completely different identity.
