Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Surrender Divine Sun City?

A giant palm descended from the sky with the momentum to crush Lin Chen into dust.

At this sight, everyone’s heart was filled with apprehension.

However, just when everyone thought Lin Chen was going to perish, a black figure suddenly flashed behind him. An extremely fierce Sword Intent burst forth from that figure, and in an instant, a Sword Qi shot up into the sky.

The person who had arrived was none other than Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division. Everyone was shocked by this strike. They had never imagined that Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division could unleash such fierce Sword Qi. This Sword Qi was even more ferocious than the one Wu Qingxia had released earlier.

All eyes were on the sword that shot into the sky and, as expected, collided with the giant palm above. The giant palm shattered in an instant.

The crowd took a deep breath, thinking to themselves that Lin Chen really had a stroke of unbelievable luck.

But soon they felt something was off—shouldn’t the lucky one be Zuo Xinghai?

"Let’s go quickly, this guy is too bizarre,"

Seeing the Sword Qi that Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had erupted with, Zuo Xinghai’s face turned green. He didn’t dare to stay a moment longer. He immediately grabbed Zhao Le’an and fled from the spot, unconcerned about the fate of the Red Soul Hall army.

Zhao Le’an also didn’t expect that the inconspicuous guy within the Jade Cauldron Sect’s army could burst with such strong Sword Intent.

Seeing Zuo Xinghai dragging him to escape, he didn’t say anything else.

Because he noticed that fresh blood was already spilling from the corner of Zuo Xinghai’s mouth. It seemed that the earlier blow from Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had caused a backlash.

What kind of terrifying strength must one possess to injure an elder like Zuo Xinghai?

You must understand that even Wu Qingxia hadn’t managed to do so before.

At this moment, if Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division possessed such strength, and if he joined forces with Wu Qingxia, then Zuo Xinghai would undoubtedly be defeated. It seemed likely that he would perish here today.

Therefore, he was too preoccupied with his own safety to care about the Red Soul Hall army.

The reason why Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was suddenly able to unleash such powerful Sword Qi wasn’t because he had observed and learned from the fight between Yan Ruyu and the Redflame Python. If that were the case, wouldn’t Lin Chen be equivalent to having the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm?

The reason Lin Chen had such an ability was because Yan Ruyu, before leaving, had given him a Sword Talisman, saying it would be of great help when Lin Chen faced a crisis.

Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division had not expected to put the Sword Talisman to use so quickly.

"This guy, it seems he has gained some fortune once again,"

Yang Yuemin, Xu Ma’an, and others scrutinized Lin Chen, filled with immense emotion in their hearts.

They were increasingly glad about their choice.

Regardless of the reason, the fact that Lin Chen could now unleash a blow of the Heavenly Human Realm made everyone imagine the astonishing fighting power he would possess as he continued to grow.

The crowd’s hearts began to surge with excitement, full of anticipation for the grown-up Lin Chen. They believed that such a Lin Chen would surely lead the Jade Cauldron Sect to a glorious future.

After repelling the enemy with one sword strike and watching Zuo Xinghai take Zhao Le’an to flee, they had thought that the Divine Flame Alliance would leave because of this.

Who would have thought that, just after Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division repelled the enemy, an old man with graying hair suddenly walked to the front of the Divine Flame Alliance’s warship, looking down from on high at the people of Jade Cauldron Sect.

"People of Jade Cauldron Sect, listen," said the old man, "We are from the Divine Flame Alliance. Our purpose here is to reclaim the palace that belongs to the Divine Flame Alliance. I give you half an hour to evacuate swiftly. Otherwise, don’t blame us for not being courteous."

Although the words of the graying old man didn’t contain overt threats, his posture and the current situation conveyed as much as any threat.

"Yield it? Who do you think you are? Divine Sun City was hard-won from the Black Cloud Sect by our own efforts. You think you can just come and take it back so easily?"

Lin Chen, dissatisfied, looked up at the Divine Flame Alliance forces in the sky and spoke without fear.

The reputation of the Divine Flame Alliance was indeed formidable, but to Lin Chen and his allies, standing against the Red Soul Hall’s forces or the Divine Flame Alliance’s didn’t seem to make much difference.

The Divine Flame Alliance had not involved itself in the affairs of the Great Flame Dynasty for hundreds of years, so their existence or absence was all the same to Jade Cauldron Sect. Who needed their protection?

Moreover, this protection had never made a difference; when Red Soul Hall, Black Cloud Sect, and Moon Shadow Pavilion made their moves against the Great Flame Dynasty, the Divine Flame Alliance had not stood up for them.

"Do your words mean you wish to make an enemy of the Divine Flame Alliance?"

"Besides, this is an issue between the Divine Flame Alliance and its subordinate, Jade Cauldron Sect. You may have some skills, but I would advise you not to meddle in other people’s business. Better not to draw fire unto yourself."

Relying on his identity as an Executive Elder of the Divine Flame Alliance, the old man with white hair was surprisingly bold toward Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division, not realizing that Lin Chen had previously shown the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm. If truly provoked, Lin Chen might erupt with the same formidable power as before—how then would the old man confront him?

At this moment, he was only acting tough because of the Divine Flame Alliance army behind him, mistakenly thinking that Lin Chen would not dare oppose him.

However, he was wrong.

"I am indeed a member of Jade Cauldron Sect. If your honor believes that this matter involves Jade Cauldron Sect’s wrongdoing and wishes to take back Divine Sun City from us, then why don’t you lead by example and come down to fight with me? The scenery here is nice, and it would be a fine choice for your resting place," Lin Chen said.

"What’s the matter, your honor hesitating to make a decision? Are you perhaps afraid?"

Lin Chen raised his head to look at the old man in the sky, his gaze filled with disdain as he spoke with a cold laugh.

"You..."

"Don’t think I’m truly afraid of you. By such behavior, can you really represent Jade Cauldron Sect? Everyone inside Jade Cauldron Sect had better think it through. To defy the Divine Flame Alliance’s forces is to oppose the Divine Flame Alliance itself. Do you really wish for death?"

The old man with white hair trembled with fury at Lin Chen’s words, feeling a loss of face.

But if he didn’t go ahead, how would the other members of the Divine Flame Alliance army see him?

"Enough," said Lin Chen. "Do you think we’re a group of Demons and Fiends from the Red Soul Hall, to be coerced by oppression?"

As the old man with white hair pondered how to threaten Lin Chen and the others with his words, a cold voice came from behind him.

Hearing this, he felt irritated, thinking to himself how someone so inconsequential within the Divine Flame Alliance dared to talk to him like this.

However, when the old man with the white hair turned around, he was surprised to find the speaker was the graceful woman.
