Chapter 145: Chapter 145: Better to Kill Wrongly than to Let Go! (Second Update)

"Boss, are you sure you’re not mistaken? Ling Chen is only in the Spirit Sea Realm, how could he possibly kill Elder Cheng Yu of the Primordial Pill Realm?"

The Spirit Sea Realm Ghost Guard asked.

He had fought with Ling Chen before, and Ling Chen wasn’t his match. How could he possibly kill Elder Cheng, who was nearly equal in strength to him?

A Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm smirked and said, "Ling Chen, it seems you won’t shed tears until you see the coffin!"

As he spoke, his fingers moved, forming a Dharma Seal.

"Buzz!"

As the Dharma Seal was formed, a crisp vibrato emitted from Ling Chen’s chest, and beams of light began to emanate through his blue robe.

"A storage ring?"

Ling Chen immediately realized how the two of them could pursue him so quickly; it turns out they had tampered with Cheng Yu’s storage ring.

"This is our Ghost Guard’s unique Ghost Seal. How would you explain, then, why Elder Cheng Yu’s storage ring is on you?"

The Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm laughed.

"It was really you!"

The Spirit Sea Realm Ghost Guard exclaimed in disbelief.

It was unbelievable. How could someone with lower cultivation kill a powerhouse of the Primordial Pill Realm?

Even he wasn’t confident about killing Elder Cheng Yu!

Caught, Ling Chen’s face showed no sign of nervousness; he remained very calm as he took out the storage ring from his chest and said lightly, "Are you talking about this? I just picked it up inside."

Of course, he would never admit it.

The Dark Night was already at odds with the Royal Family; if the Ghost Guards really found out, the Royal Family might take action against him.

Right now, he hadn’t truly grown strong yet.

He was not yet powerful enough to confront the Royal Family, let alone rescue his father.

"Is that so?"

The Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm looked at Ling Chen with a smirk and said, "Then explain to me, why were you here in this deserted place so late at night?"

Using such a poor excuse, utterly ridiculous.

Ling Chen said, "I’ve already told you, I was just strolling around here with nothing else to do."

"Kid, do you think I would believe such an excuse? You have two choices: surrender peacefully or I’ll take you down myself! Don’t think that just because you killed Cheng Yu, the strength of the Primordial Pill Realm is something ordinary. You can’t imagine how powerful the Primordial Pill Realm is!"

The Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm looked at Ling Chen and coldly said.

Ling Chen spread his hands and said, "I’m not sure why you think I’m the killer, I’m actually a student of the True Martial Academy, okay? You think too highly of me if you believe I could kill a powerhouse of the Primordial Pill Realm."

"Not admitting it is fine. If you believe you are innocent, you can come with us for an investigation. If you are indeed not the killer, we will certainly let you go."

The Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm smiled.

"I would indeed like to go with you, but as a student of the True Martial Academy, I can’t leave the Zhenwu Prefecture without special circumstances."

Ling Chen smiled.

The Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm chuckled in resignation: "Oh? Is the True Martial Academy going to pressure us? Let me tell you the truth, a small academy of a prefecture, we Ghost Guards really don’t take it seriously. Come with us, someone will speak with your True Martial Academy!"

If they couldn’t capture Ling Chen now, it would be troublesome to deal with him later.

Although they, the Ghost Guards, were the personal guards of Xia Jiu You, local authorities mattered more than distant ones. Without higher-ups backing them, it wouldn’t be easy to take a core student from the True Martial Academy.

Moreover, now was the best time to investigate Ling Chen.

Delaying further would multiply the difficulty of conducting the investigation.

Ling Chen shook his head and said, "There’s no way I can go with you. I don’t even know your true identities. Do you think I’d be foolish enough to go with you?"

"If that’s the case, then things are a bit difficult..."

The Ghost Guard of the Primordial Pill Realm glanced at Ling Chen and grimly said, "Do you know the rules of our Ghost Guards? Better to kill wrongly than to let go! If you don’t cooperate, then don’t blame us for being ruthless!"

"Better to kill wrongly than to let go?"

Upon hearing this, a chill surged in Ling Chen’s eyes.

Back then, his father Ling Tianxing, was captured by Xia Jiu You, who was a Ghost Guard at the time.

Now, the Ghost Guards even wanted to target him?

Ling Chen’s murderous intent was palpable.

"Is that so? I am curious to see how your Ghost Guard plans to not let me off."

Ling Chen’s expression was icy as he glared at the Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard and spoke coldly.

"Very well! Fresh calves are not afraid of tigers. A mere Academic Palace student dares to challenge the dignity of our Ghost Guard? Since that is the case, let me show you the true strength of our Ghost Guard!"

A mocking smile appeared on the face of the Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard.

"You, step back."

The Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard instructed the Spirit Sea Realm Ghost Guard.

Ling Chen was suspected of killing powerful figures like Cheng Yu from the Primordial Pill Realm, and he did not want to put his men at risk.

"Yes, boss!"

The Spirit Sea Realm Ghost Guard responded and then stepped back to the entrance of the dilapidated temple.

"Boy, make your move!"

The Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard suddenly extended his right hand, and a black longsword that radiated a chilling light appeared.

It was clearly a low-grade Spiritual Weapon!

He too was not taking any chances.

Ling Chen did not hesitate; extending his right hand, he also drew a low-grade Spiritual Weapon Longsword.

"Wu Kong Swordsmanship’s Wu Kong Style!"

Spiritual Power surged wildly within him, channeled into the silver longsword in his hand, unleashing a nearly translucent Sword Qi slashing furiously towards the Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard.

"High-grade Mysterious Spirit Art?"

"Level nine Spiritual Power?"

The Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard’s eyes lit up.

He could not sense Ling Chen’s cultivation level.

However, he had been in the Royal Capital for a long time and was no longer surprised by this.

Many geniuses in the Royal Capital possessed treasures that could conceal their cultivation levels.

But the moment Ling Chen deployed a Mysterious Spirit Art, his Spiritual Power was undeniably exposed!

"This..."

The Spirit Sea Realm Ghost Guard at the door was utterly baffled.

Just a few days ago, Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was at the seventh level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

How had it suddenly reached the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm?

Moreover, it was the mid-stage of the ninth level, almost approaching his level.

Additionally, it was said that Ling Chen mastered the Heavenly Spirit Technique. If Cheng Yu truly underestimated Ling Chen, it was possible he could have been killed.

Originally, he thought it impossible for Ling Chen to kill a Primordial Pill Realm powerhouse, but now it seemed that Cheng Yu might indeed have died by Ling Chen’s hand!

He had some doubts before, but now all his doubts had been dispelled.

The Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard raised his longsword, and a black Sword Qi burst forth, directly shattering Ling Chen’s Wu Kong Sword.

"You can use the Heavenly Spirit Technique, can’t you? Use it! Otherwise, once I use my full strength, you might not have the chance."

The Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard said coldly.

"As you wish!"

Ling Chen nodded.

His left hand shot up, and a surge of mighty Spiritual Power burst forth, condensing into a black Square Seal aiming to suppress the Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard.

It was indeed the lower-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique, Netherworld Seal!

"Indeed, it is a lower-grade Heavenly Spirit Technique!"

The Primordial Pill Realm Ghost Guard’s eyes brightened. He raised his sword, infused Spiritual Power into it with his right hand, then executed a high-grade Mysterious Spirit Art, unleashing a Sword Qi!

"Bang!"

The Netherworld Seal collided with the Sword Qi, causing the entire dilapidated temple’s ground to tremble as waves of air rampaged around.
