Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Meticulous Mind? No, Just Overthinking

Lin Chen’s lips curved into a faint smile, his face full of disdain as he looked at Qing Wu.

It was as if everything was unfolding just as Lin Chen had expected.

"Running into you? Haha, the Heavenly Pride of the Formation Sect, eh? Haha, thinking about how you will die by my hand in a moment, annihilating the Formation Sect’s Heavenly Pride is so exhilarating, I’m already somewhat impatient to drain your Essence Blood."

"Boy, your strength is indeed formidable, but after your battle with the Tentacle Demon, do you really still have the strength to resist me?"

Qing Wu laughed crazily, looking at Lin Chen with a wildly arrogant smile.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s condition made even normal movement difficult, and as for Cheng Huan and He Ye, the five of them, Qing Wu, who had now reached the Heavenly Human Realm, didn’t even consider them worth his attention.

"How presumptuous, Qing Wu, you dare to make a move against us, are you not afraid of the Formation Sect’s retaliation? Three of our companions have escaped, and soon the powerful members of the Formation Sect will arrive. Do you think you can contend with the powerhouses of the Formation Sect with just yourself?"

Cheng Huan eyed Qing Wu warily, quietly moving closer to Lin Chen. They had to protect Lin Chen from harm.

The instant Qing Wu made a move, she would immediately flee with Lin Chen.

The Talent displayed by Lin Chen meant that he would inevitably become one of the Formation Sect’s great powerhouses in the future, a key pillar in the fight against the Red Soul Hall.

"Heh, the strength of the Formation Sect is indeed something I cannot provoke, but before they arrive, all of you will have already died. Later, I can just claim it was the work of the Tentacle Demon, that you all perished together, and even if the Formation Sect suspects me, they will have no solid evidence. Who then could do anything to me?"

Qing Wu said with a light smile, as if everything would proceed just as he had imagined.

Upon hearing Qing Wu’s words, Cheng Huan and the others’ complexions immediately turned pale.

Because what Qing Wu said was absolutely true—if the Formation Sect had no concrete evidence, they might indeed not suspect Qing Wu, as this guy was truly a master at deception, having fooled every single one of them.

"Heh, do you really think you hold all the winning cards?"

Lin Chen, who had taken an elixir and recovered some of his injuries, slowly stood up. A faint smile hung on his lips as he looked at Qing Wu.

Seeing the smile on Lin Chen’s lips, Qing Wu’s heart suddenly filled with unease.

Because Lin Chen was too powerful and mysterious, Qing Wu simply couldn’t see through him completely.

"Boy, no matter what tricks you have left today, go to hell."

Qing Wu couldn’t find peace in his heart until he killed Lin Chen and he immediately moved to strike Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen just raised his hand, gently raising a strand of Spiritual Light that flickered in his hand.

"Extinguish!"

With a light shout from Lin Chen, Qing Wu’s body immediately became twisted. A frenzied power surged wildly inside him, turning his body as hot as a furnace. He rolled on the ground screaming, his body seeming as if it were about to explode.

"You... what have you done to me?"

Qing Wu was in agony, unable to muster a shred of strength, and immediately questioned Lin Chen.

"Nothing much, just made some arrangements with that Tentacle Demon."

Lin Chen said with a faint smile.

"So, you suspected me all along, but I always thought I concealed everything well, giving you no reason to suspect me."

Qing Wu failed to understand.

Yet Lin Chen just shook his head.

"Concealed well? Since you sent out a distress signal to the Formation Sect, why didn’t you clearly explain the palace incident, naming the involved persons?"

"You merely mentioned a vague and incomprehensible massacre."

"After we arrived at the palace, you claimed it was a demon who had attacked Qingmu Kingdom, an obvious contradiction. There was clearly something wrong with the whole affair."

Lin Chen looked at Qing Wu and spoke indifferently.

"Even so, it could have been an issue with my emperor father. Why would you suspect me?"

Qing Wu still did not understand.

"Correct, it could indeed have been your father’s doing, but I just took the extra precaution of leaving a backup plan. If you hadn’t revealed yourself and done anything to us, I naturally wouldn’t have suspected you."

Lin Chen looked at Qing Wu and said with a faint smile.

"You...such a meticulously thoughtful Heavenly Pride."

"To be defeated by your hand, I accept it. But even in death, I won’t make things easy for you."

At this moment, Qing Wu wore a crazed look, apparently intending to self-destruct.

However, as soon as Qing Wu started to move, Lin Chen extinguished the Spiritual Light in his hand, and Qing Wu’s body immediately blew apart, turning into a messy pile of flesh and blood. The Spiritual Power inside him dissipated into the ether.

When the Tentacle Demon was draining his Essence Blood, Lin Chen had quietly injected a drop of his own Essence Blood into it. It was meant for a final confrontation with the Tentacle Demon, since Lin Chen knew his Essence Blood wielded great suppressive power against malevolent demonic entities.

Who would have thought that the Tentacle Demon wouldn’t get the chance to use that drop of Essence Blood.

But as it turned out, Qing Wu found a use for it. In fact, Lin Chen had been suspicious of Qing Wu all along.

Because he practiced the Primordial Transformation Art, he could easily see through Qing Wu’s hidden strength.

So when Qing Wu came to see Lin Chen last night, Lin Chen knew there was more to this matter than met the eye.

"You’re truly a formidable one, chilling to the bone."

Cheng Huan looked at Lin Chen and said faintly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, privately thinking what kind of compliment that was.

Soon after, Xia Wanxin and Qin Kaifeng, accompanied by Mu Qianqiu, arrived at the scene.

When they discovered the Qingmu Kingdom palace had turned into a ruin, and after a round of questioning learned that all of it was Lin Chen’s work, even the act of slaying the Tentacle Demon that Mu Qianqiu had battled a century ago, their hearts were stunned.

After all, Mu Qianqiu herself had been seriously injured by it back then, and even if its strength had declined, it was not easily dealt with.

Having stabilized the situation in Qingmu Kingdom, Lin Chen slowly walked towards the Treasury of Qingmu Kingdom.
