Primordial Emperor
Chapter 534 Departure

Chapter 534: Chapter 534 Departure

Watching Gong Wenwen’s arrival, the surrounding martial artists were all too eager to see a spectacle, beginning to discuss among themselves.

Many among the crowd harbored dissatisfaction or rather jealousy towards Lin Chen, after all, it hadn’t been long since Lin Chen had joined the Formation Sect, yet he had already become one of the top five entities on the Inner Sect Pride List.

Of course, they would be happy to witness Lin Chen being suppressed by Gong Wenwen.

"I am Lin Chen, what is the matter?"

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Gong Wenwen, and although he didn’t know who she was, from the aura she was currently emitting, it was clear that she had come with hostile intentions.

Since the other party had come looking for trouble, Lin Chen needless to say lacked any interest in exchanging courtesies with her, and spoke with a faint expression.

"You are Lin Chen? Just a waste at the Second Layer of the Reverting Void Realm, yet you managed to defeat my brother?"

"It seems you must have used some secret technique to harm my innocent brother, and today I will make you pay the price."

Gong Wenwen’s gaze, fierce and unyielding, fell on Lin Chen, and immediately a sharp sword appeared in her hand.

With the sword in hand, Gong Wenwen didn’t show the slightest courtesy or hesitation, and she swiftly slashed at Lin Chen.

A powerful Sword Qi instantly slashed towards Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Lin Chen’s expression became extremely serious.

Whoosh whoosh—

However, just as Lin Chen was preparing to respond, a fragrant scent swept over him, and in the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Lin Chen. Mu Qianqiu stood with her hand as a sword, pointing at the Sword Qi sent by Gong Wenwen from afar, sending out a stream of Sword Qi which effortlessly dissolved Gong Wenwen’s attack.

"Greetings to Pavilion Master Mu!"

Following the arrival of Mu Qianqiu, the surrounding martial artists, including the Executive Elders on the Flying Boats, bowed one after another to her.

Pavilion Master Mu wasn’t a Peak Master of a main peak, yet her status was no less than any main peak’s Peak Master, and she had once received personal guidance from the Ancestral Master Lie Qianxing of the Formation Sect.

After all, Mu Qianqiu’s strength was evident for all, as she was one of the top three powerhouses within the Formation Sect.

Moreover, in the Formation Sect, Mu Qianqiu had established the One Sword Pavilion, which specialized in recruiting talented disciples who used swords. Although not considered a main peak, her reputation within the Sect was very high, and she was an existence coveted by many Inner Sect Disciples.

However, Mu Qianqiu’s requirements for accepting disciples were extremely strict, not only in regards to talent but also character. She greatly despised those akin to evil path demon cultivators the likes of Chang Bai, and had expressed her disdain towards him during the recruitment assembly.

"Pavilion Master Mu, what do you mean by this?"

Seeing Mu Qianqiu arrive and dissolving her attack, Gong Wenwen immediately felt uncomfortable.

Gong Wenwen was from Green Bamboo Peak and was not under the jurisdiction of Mu Qianqiu. Not to mention that Mu Qianqiu wasn’t a main peak’s Peak Master—if she were, she still wouldn’t have the right to control disciples from other peaks.

"What do I mean? I’d like to ask you, a prominent True Disciple, why are you not staying at your Green Bamboo Peak, and instead come here to the Outer Sect to attack an Inner Sect Disciple? Are you trying to disregard the rules of the Formation Sect?"

Seeing Gong Wenwen daring to question her, Mu Qianqiu promptly countered, giving no face to Gong Wenwen.

After all, even though Gong Wenwen was just one of the True Disciples from Green Bamboo Peak and not the strongest one, even if Jia Tianyu, the Peak Master of Green Bamboo Peak, were to come, he would need to be polite to Mu Qianqiu.

Hearing this, Gong Wenwen suddenly didn’t know what to say and showed a troubled expression.

Because Mu Qianqiu was right—this was the territory of the Inner Sect Disciples, and the Formation Sect had rules that True Disciples could not attack Inner Sect Disciples at will, and likewise, Inner Sect Disciples also could not attack Outer Sect Disciples easily.

If there were any irreconcilable grievances or disputes, they must go to the Duel Platform for a fair fight.

But ordinarily, no one would be foolish enough to agree to such a battle.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky this time."

Gong Wenwen cast a cold glance at Lin Chen before turning and leaving.

With Mu Qianqiu protecting Lin Chen, today she would not be able to avenge her brother.

Although Gong Wenwen was a master of the Heavenly Human Realm, she was not arrogant enough to battle Mu Qianqiu—in fact, she would likely struggle to survive even three moves against her.

Since Mu Qianqiu was currently protecting Lin Chen, Gong Wenwen naturally wouldn’t seek out further humiliation.

But she didn’t believe that Mu Qianqiu could always protect Lin Chen; she would find another opportunity to settle scores with Lin Chen.

"She has already gone far, yet you still stare; you really are good at drawing attention to yourself. What did you do to that girl?"

Seeing that Gong Wenwen had already left and Lin Chen was still staring unblinkingly at the fading silhouette, Mu Qianqiu thought that Lin Chen might have done something to her and promptly spoke up.

"Pavilion Master Mu, my situation with her is not what you’re thinking."

Lin Chen, utterly confused, knew that Mu Qianqiu had misunderstood and tried to explain, but Mu Qianqiu didn’t give him the chance and leapt directly onto the Flying Boat.

Lin Chen gave a wry smile, thinking that it’s fine if there was a misunderstanding, and then also boarded the Flying Boat.

Once on the Flying Boat, Lin Chen began his cultivation in seclusion.

In this period, besides Qin Kaifeng and others coming to him for a few exchanges of moves,

Mu Qianqiu would occasionally come to guide Lin Chen’s swordsmanship, which greatly benefited him.

You should know that Mu Qianqiu was an extremely powerful sword cultivator, and her attainment in Sword Intent even surpassed that of Yan Ruyu, whom Lin Chen had encountered at Black Cloud Mountain.

Under Mu Qianqiu’s guidance, Lin Chen’s swordsmanship improved significantly, and the Seven Killings Sword Array also advanced rapidly, reaching the Mid-level of the Third Layer.

Mu Qianqiu offered guidance to Lin Chen partly out of self-interest. She found that even when Lin Chen practiced the Seven Killings Sword Array, she could hardly discern its mysteries. Despite her attempts to imitate it, she could never grasp its essence.

Since Mu Qianqiu had offered guidance on his swordsmanship, Lin Chen did not hold back and directly shared some key mysteries of the Seven Killings Sword Array with her.
