Chapter 585: Chapter 585 You’ll Only Hold Me Back

"Sister Yu, what’s happened to you all?"

Lin Chen looked at Yu Weilian and the others’ weakened state, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn’t help but feel worried as he instinctively took a few steps forward.

However, as soon as Lin Chen took a few steps, Yao Qinghe and the others from the Divine Flame Sect’s expressions turned extremely ugly, and they all stepped back.

"Young Master Lin Chen, don’t come any closer!"

A female disciple of the Divine Flame Sect said with some fear.

Hearing this, Lin Chen paused in his tracks, somewhat perplexed, not understanding why, after only practicing for a while, the disciples of the Divine Flame Sect had become so fearful of him.

"What in the world happened? I won’t come closer, just tell me slowly, don’t be nervous," he said.

Seeing that Lin Chen was no longer approaching, the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their complexions gradually restored to normal as they circulated their Spiritual Power.

"Everything was fine yesterday, but this morning, a burst of death qi suddenly erupted from your body. The aura erupted suddenly, and by the time we reacted, we had already been corroded, which is why we hurriedly left the Formation and observed you from a distance."

"That death qi not only devours our blood qi but also consumes the vitality. Look."

The Divine Flame Sect disciples recounted their experience, then they lifted their hair and sleeves to show Lin Chen, causing him to be startled.

For the skin on the faces and bodies of those Divine Flame Sect disciples had begun to form wrinkles, evidently caused by the consumption of their vitality.

Understanding the situation, Lin Chen finally grasped what had happened.

It seemed that when he was comprehending the death qi of the Heavenly Yin Pearl, he had inadvertently released it, causing the Divine Flame Sect disciples to suffer its erosive effects.

Then, Lin Chen used his Spiritual Sense to scan his own body and realized that his body was still emitting a trace of death qi. Although it wasn’t being actively released and wasn’t intense, long-term exposure could still be affecting others.

Hum—

With a thought, Lin Chen’s Spiritual Sense drew all the death qi back into his body.

Upon seeing this, Yao Qinghe and the others fully relaxed and slowly approached Lin Chen.

"Let me take a look at your injuries."

After Lin Chen’s Spiritual Sense swept over everyone, he silently concluded that, fortunately, their conditions weren’t severe.

However, Lin Chen only possessed the Power of the Rule of Death Qi, and not the Power of the Rule of Life, so he was unable to restore the eroded vitality for them.

Yet, Lin Chen had another means at his disposal, which was through the Primordial Transformation Decree.

Hum, hum—

A gentle surge of Spiritual Power released from Lin Chen’s palm, then landed on the bodies of the Divine Flame Sect members.

Immediately, the vitality the members had lost quickly recovered, and the wrinkles smoothed out.

The Divine Flame Sect members, filled with joy, saw this.

Even though it was due to Lin Chen’s earlier release of death qi, they dared not have any complaints.

Afterward, Lin Chen looked at the disciples and waved his hand, retrieving a set of magic treasures, including helmets, cloaks, armor, belts, bracers, gloves, boots, and so on; a complete ensemble.

The Divine Flame Sect’s eyes brightened upon seeing the magic treasures Lin Chen took out.

Were these for compensation from Lin Chen? The disciples couldn’t help but feel touched at the thought.

"Don’t overthink it. We are about to continue on, and although the area is temporarily safe, it’s possible that extremely dangerous individuals may arrive soon. For safety, I am lending you these magic treasures for now; you’ll need to return them to me after we leave the ruin," he said.

"With your current strength, you’re really holding me back."

Lin Chen told the disciples bluntly.

The Divine Flame Sect members felt uncomfortable hearing this news, but they had no alternative, as Lin Chen was indeed speaking the truth.

Immediately, they unhesitatingly accepted the magic treasures. Although these were only lent to them temporarily, for the Divine Flame Sect members, the boost in strength was significant.

The disciples quickly dressed themselves in front of Lin Chen, with some female disciples of the Divine Flame Sect even deliberately displaying their enchanting figures in front of him, yet Lin Chen did not spare a second glance.

Then, Lin Chen also taught them a set of simple Killing Formation, insisting they master it within the next few days, which would significantly enhance the strength of their group.

After absorbing the Formation knowledge Lin Chen imparted, the disciples were immensely shocked. Yao Qinghe and Yu Weilian’s gazes towards Lin Chen turned reverent.

The Killing Formation Lin Chen had taught was extremely profound, much stronger than that of the Divine Flame Sect.

Though the Formation Sect was slightly stronger than the Divine Flame Sect, it was impossible for such a powerful Formation to exist, to the extent that an Inner Sect Disciple could master such an advanced Killing Formation.

Therefore, Yao Qinghe was certain that the Killing Formation Lin Chen taught was definitely not from the Formation Sect.

If the Formation Sect had such a Killing Formation, its status within the Six Great Superpowers of the Divine Flame Alliance would have likely been ranked first long ago.

In the following days, Lin Chen led everyone towards the central area of the secret realm.

During this time, Yao Qinghe and the others were also diligently practicing the Battle Formation Lin Chen had taught them, and after five days, they managed to make some progress.

...

Five days after Lin Chen left the lake, a group of Dark Demon tribespeople with grey hair and blue skin arrived at the lake.

Among them, a particularly tall Dark Demon male, towering over the others, was currently staring at the lake with a very ugly expression on his face.

Soon, several Dark Demon tribespeople emerged from the bottom of the lake, and walked respectfully towards the tall Dark Demon male.

"Captain Bred, the Heavenly Yin Pearl at the bottom of the lake has disappeared!"

"Not only has the Heavenly Yin Pearl vanished, but the skeletons and magic treasures at the bottom of the lake have also all gone missing!"
