Primordial Emperor
Chapter 346

Chapter 346: 346

Although he didn’t continue to break through his cultivation, Lin Chen also knew that the approach of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron might also be for his own good.

After all, he had consecutively broken through two layers of cultivation, and his foundation was not yet stable; if he single-mindedly pursued a stronger realm, it might not be a good thing.

After that, Lin Chen began walking towards the ground.

When he left the underground cave and arrived on the surface, Hua Lianxin was pacing back and forth. She had been worried about Lin Chen, fearing that something might have happened to him, and had even tried to enter the underground to search for him. However, her physique was completely repelled by the underground fire attribute energy, and it was simply too much for her body to handle, so she had turned back.

Seeing Lin Chen emerge from the ground now, her heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let’s go; we will return first, and then send people to mine the Redflame Firestones underground."

Lin Chen spoke to Hua Lianxin indifferently.

As for the Redflame Firestones, Lin Chen had already made arrangements in his heart and was even somewhat looking forward to it.

Besides being used as an energy source, Redflame Firestones were also excellent materials for artifact refining.

Redflame Firestones were a type of ore just like other hard materials capable of forging magic artifacts, except that they also contained powerful fire attribute energy.

And precisely because of this, magic artifacts crafted from Redflame Firestones had better effects than those made from ordinary ores.

The thought suddenly sprung up in Lin Chen’s mind. If he were to use the Redflame Firestones to craft the Purple Thunder Suit and Flash Arrow Feathers, their effectiveness might double. It would be extraordinarily beneficial for arming the disciples of the Jade Cauldron Sect and would definitely allow their combat power to increase significantly.

Just as Lin Chen and Hua Lianxin were preparing to return to Divine Sun City, they detected massive energy fluctuations coming from the direction of the Floral Transfer Palace.

Because of this, Hua Lianxin looked over with concern.

Lin Chen released his Divine Sense and after briefly sensing it, confirmed that the Floral Transfer Palace was indeed experiencing a great battle.

Since the battle at Divine Sun City, the various sects had gone into hiding, shut their doors, and stayed out of affairs. How could someone be attacking the Floral Transfer Palace now?

After a brief thought, Lin Chen suspected that it was very likely Black Cloud Sect attacking the Floral Transfer Palace.

"Let’s go take a look. But I don’t promise to lend assistance. If the attacker of the Floral Transfer Palace is too strong, my power might not suffice either," Lin Chen said to Hua Lianxin.

After all, Hua Lianxin originated from the Floral Transfer Palace. Although she had received his favours, her past kindness towards the Floral Transfer Palace was something she could not forget.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Hua Lianxin’s eyes met Lin Chen’s as she earnestly bowed deeply in gratitude.

She naturally understood that if the attacker of the Floral Transfer Palace was too strong, then Lin Chen intervening would only bring trouble upon himself.

While in Divine Sun City, Lin Chen could borrow the power of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s people, along with formations, to exert immense power. But now they were not in Divine Sun City, and Lin Chen, no matter how strong, could not possibly contend with the powerful force attacking the Floral Transfer Palace.

Lin Chen and Hua Lianxin flew towards the Floral Transfer Palace, soon arriving on the summit of a mountain opposite it.

At that moment, demon cultivators clad in black robes were engaged in combat with disciples of the Floral Transfer Palace.

The two sides fought fiercely, with casualties on both.

Among them, the elders of the Floral Transfer Palace and even the Palace Master, Bi Qiuyan, who was also Hua Lianxin’s mentor, were participating in the battle. Her opponent was a demon cultivator wielding a sickle, whose cultivation was very strong, at the Third Layer of the Reverting Void Realm.

At that moment, the two were evenly matched, and for the time being, neither side held an advantage.

However, the other disciples of the Floral Transfer Palace were different. Demon cultivators were inherently stronger than ordinary martial artists, and what’s more, the number of demon cultivators from Black Cloud Sect was greater than those from the Floral Transfer Palace.

Indeed, the attackers of the Floral Transfer Palace were the demon cultivators from Black Cloud Sect.

Lin Chen frowned slightly, surprised that Black Cloud Sect had abandoned their attack on Jade Cauldron Sect and instead targeted the Floral Transfer Palace.

"Now that the Six Sects are closed off, it’s difficult to get news from them. I wonder if the other sects have already been attacked by Black Cloud Sect," Lin Chen pondered with a touch of concern.

If the other sects had each been breached by Black Cloud Sect, then when the time came, Jade Cauldron Sect would be without reinforcements, and after Black Cloud Sect absorbed the power of the Six Sects, it would undoubtedly become stronger. It would be troublesome for the Jade Cauldron Sect to deal with Black Cloud Sect then.

Upon this realization, Lin Chen couldn’t help thinking how utterly foolish the people of the Six Sects were.

If the Six Sects had united, they surely would have had the power to contend with Black Cloud Sect head-on.

At that moment, a strange occurrence was taking place within the Floral Transfer Palace. Despite the battle reaching a critical point, the Sect Protection Array had still not been activated.

"What exactly is going on? Why has the Sect Protection Array not been activated until now?"

"At the juncture of life and death for the sect, could those old folks still be wanting to save a bit of spirit stones?"

Hua Lianxin was deeply puzzled within her heart.

"It’s not that they don’t want to activate it, but that the Sect Protection Array simply cannot be initiated anymore."

Hearing this, Lin Chen shook his head silently, realizing that there must be assassins from Moon Shadow Pavilion manipulating events behind the scenes of Black Cloud Sect.

Otherwise, the means to infiltrate the interior and prevent the activation of the Sect Protection Array seemed all too characteristic of Moon Shadow Pavilion’s tactics.

Boom—

Spurt—

Bi Qiuyan, who was ambushed by several people, immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. She never expected that while she was confronting the black-robed man with a sickle, someone would attack her from behind.

"Despicable and shameless!"

Bi Qiuyan cursed, her heart becoming somewhat flustered at that moment.

If she were injured, it was likely that the entire Floral Transfer Palace would have no means of turning the tide.

"Hehe, Palace Master Bi, surely you are not so naïve as to think that we’re engaged in a fair fight?"

"Our goal is to take your life and to level Floral Transfer Palace."

"Although you’re old, you still possess charm. Just surrender, and I’ll be sure to take good care of you, sparing no effort to show tenderness and cherish your beauty."
