Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Repel the Enemy

"I’m fine. Once the formation is set up, let these guys slowly attack. Once the Sect Leader arrives with the army, I want them all to stay right here."

Lin Chen’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. Since the Xuan Yin Sect dared to ally themselves with the Red Soul Hall, Lin Chen would not hold back either.

Without considering his own injuries, Lin Chen continued with the formation setup.

However, just as Lin Chen had started setting up the second defensive formation, Shi Xinghai arrived at the island with his men.

"Haha, boy, you can’t escape. Today, you will all die here to accompany my son."

Seeing that Lin Chen and the rest had fled to the island, Shi Xinghai immediately ordered an attack on their defensive formation.

Under the fierce assault of the Xuan Yin Sect disciples, the first formation Lin Chen had set up soon cracked and gradually began to break.

However, luckily, just as the first formation was breaking, Lin Chen had already completed setting up the second formation.

"Continue breaking it for me! I don’t believe that his single-handed formation setup can be faster than the speed of so many of us breaking it. Besides, setting up a formation requires the consumption of Spiritual Power and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, I don’t believe he can keep setting up formations endlessly."

Shi Xinghai spoke coldly, and the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect immediately obeyed, continuing their attack on the formation.

As the second formation was also about to be breached, although Lin Chen was already in the process of setting up the third formation, it was already too late.

Xu Lianyu and the others had a look of worry on their faces, feeling somewhat guilty in their hearts. If they hadn’t sneaked away from the Jade Cauldron Sect, perhaps they wouldn’t have caused these troubles.

Soon, the second formation that Lin Chen had set up was also shattered by the crowd.

However, just as the Xuan Yin Sect disciples broke through the formation and were about to kill Lin Chen and the others, from behind the Xuan Yin Sect, an army struck with lightning speed, slashing a bloody path and rushing directly to the front of Lin Chen and his group.

It was none other than Xu Ma’an leading the army of the Jade Cauldron Sect, and the squad he led was the most powerful War Department from Divine Sun City, the Battle Eagle Squad.

At this moment, each member of the Battle Eagle Squad was holding a silver bow and arrow, aiming at the disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect and shooting. Countless disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect immediately suffered severe injuries, with heavy casualties.

"Are you all right?"

After Xu Ma’an arrived, his gaze fell on Xu Lianyu, and seeing that Xu Lianyu was unharmed, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

However, when his gaze fell on Lin Chen, he also took a deep breath, for Lin Chen’s injuries were far too severe at that moment.

"Damn it, is this the strength of the Jade Cauldron Sect."

Shi Xinghai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of hatred as he looked at Lin Chen. Despite his immense unwillingness, the situation had slipped out of their hands, and his Xuan Yin Sect disciples had been slaughtered to the point of disarray. With no other choice, he could only order a retreat.

Watching Shi Xinghai lead his troops away, Xu Ma’an also raised his hand to stop the army from pursuing further. After all, they were in Frost Chill Kingdom, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, it was enough for the army to repel the enemy; there was no need to kill in pursuit.

After the Xuan Yin Sect’s army had retreated, Lin Chen and his group also began their retreat.

But instead of rushing back to the Jade Cauldron Sect, they used the influence of the Lingxi Commerce Guild within Frost Chill Kingdom to find a temporary resting place—Cloud Sky City.

In Cloud Sky City, it took Lin Chen half a month to fully recover from his injuries.

Meanwhile, Xu Lianyu, Hua Lianxin, and Wang Yilin obediently entered seclusion to cultivate, not daring to go anywhere else.

After causing such a big disaster this time, all three women admitted to themselves it was their playfulness that had led to the trouble.

Seeing the three women admit their fault, Xu Ma’an and the others chose not to pursue the matter further.

After Lin Chen’s injuries had recovered, he began to contemplate how to deal with the Xuan Yin Sect.

The two sects already harbored irreconcilable enmity, and since Lin Chen had also guessed the collusion and ambitions of the Xuan Yin Sect and Red Soul Hall, he naturally would not pretend to be blind to it.

Lin Chen settled down in Cloud Sky City and had Xu Ma’an take Xu Lianyu and the others back to the Jade Cauldron Kingdom.

However, he did leave behind two squads from the Battle Eagle Squad.

...

At this moment, inside the Formation Sect.

While Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division was severely injured, Lin Chen’s main body discovered a brilliant way to make a fortune within the Formation Sect.

It was from the time Lin Chen, Qin Kaifeng, and Dongfang Yun had won an enormous bet in the previous arena contest, where the odds were twelve to one, a fact that quickly spread throughout the Formation Sect.

Later on, when there were no bets involved, people started to follow Lin Chen’s bets.

At first, they won every bet, but soon, they were losing more than winning.

After some reflection, people realized they had fallen into Lin Chen’s trap.

Lin Chen, Qin Kaifeng, and Dongfang Yun intentionally used Lin Chen’s bets to attract others to place their bets, colluding with the bookkeeper.

Although Lin Chen seemed to lose money on the surface, the bookkeeper was secretly sharing profits with him.

When the others learned of this, they grudgingly sought out Lin Chen for trouble, demanding that he give them an explanation.

However, when faced with their questions, Lin Chen feigned ignorance, insisting that he knew nothing regardless of what they said.

The people had to present evidence; otherwise, they were slandering him.

Lin Chen’s defiant retort left them speechless, for indeed, they had only heard rumors without any solid proof.

But later on, the people started to place bets against Lin Chen, betting on the opposite of whatever he wagered, believing this way the bookkeeper and Lin Chen couldn’t possibly continue to conspire.

Little did they know, both the bookkeeper and Lin Chen had already anticipated their thoughts and had planted informants who would bet against Lin Chen. Sometimes, they allowed Lin Chen to win a few rounds, creating confusion and leading people to trust the other decoys, ultimately taking down everyone in one fell swoop.

In this way, within half a month, Lin Chen had earned nearly five thousand Contribution Value. Added to the more than five thousand he had received before, he finally accumulated the ten thousand required to exchange for a Heavenly Skill Technique.

Afterward, Lin Chen entered the Spirit Treasure Pavilion of the Formation Sect to select a Heavenly Skill Technique.

Lin Chen chose a Heavenly Level Mid Grade Cultivation Technique with an ice-cold attribute.

After exchanging the Cultivation Technique, Lin Chen still had over a thousand Contribution Value left and used it to exchange for some materials needed to create High-Grade Talisman Inscriptions.

After completing the exchanges, Lin Chen headed back to his residence,

However, upon returning to his living quarters, he found an Inner Sect Disciple who often bet with him waiting outside his place, looking anxious.
