Chapter 409: Chapter 121: Sudden Wealth, the Final Battle?

Soon, Lin Chen packed all the Spirit Stones from the Storage Bag.

If converted into Lower Grade Spirit Stones, the Spirit Stones in this Storage Bag are worth at least over twenty million!

Looking at this storage magical artifact of about ten zhang in radius, Lin Chen felt heartbroken and reluctantly destroyed it.

"Damn it, even this Storage Bag itself might be worth a million Spirit Stones..."

But Lin Chen had no choice; such storage treasures are extremely easy to track.

Lin Chen could only destroy it with pain, and then proceeded to search through the remaining six Storage Rings.

Opening one Storage Ring revealed that it was empty.

Lin Chen immediately realized that this Storage Ring probably held the Fifth Young Master’s life-saving treasure.

It had just been used up in the previous battle.

"Alas, what a pity."

Lin Chen shook his head and destroyed the Storage Ring.

The next Storage Ring...

Goodness, Lin Chen was dumbfounded when he opened it.

This Storage Ring contained women’s clothing, and even some strange gadgets.

Taking out a Memory Stone for a glance, Lin Chen felt a sting to his eyes.

"Goodness, this Fifth Young Master is practically the Edison Chen of the Cultivation Realm..."

Lin Chen swiftly destroyed all the items in the Storage Ring.

Opening the next Storage Ring revealed Guangyuan Commerce Association’s bills and some secret letters.

Lin Chen quickly glanced at them and put them away, thinking they may have some use someday.

Consecutively discovering nothing good in three Storage Rings, Lin Chen’s heart felt uneasy.

But soon, the next Storage Ring made Lin Chen’s heart happy.

This Storage Ring contained a batch of Spiritual Medicine, ores, and some materials used for Array Formation.

Estimating roughly, these materials alone are worth over five million Spirit Stones.

They piled into a small mountain within the Storage Ring.

If Lin Chen were to purchase them himself, it would have inevitably taken some time.

"Nice, looks like these are materials Guangyuan Commerce Association intended for trade... Lucky me."

Lin Chen took all the materials and stored them in the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd, then destroyed the Storage Ring.

Examining four Storage Rings consecutively cost Lin Chen considerable effort.

Feeling the demon cultivators behind him getting closer, Lin Chen furrowed his brows slightly.

"Looks like the item that locks onto the aura hasn’t been destroyed yet..."

Lin Chen stepped on the Flying Knife and performed the Cloud Soaring Technique.

While hastening to Changchun Sect, he continued to search through the remaining two Storage Rings.

Opening one of the Storage Rings revealed many Magical Treasures, Array Plates, and even many Pills and Talismans.

Lin Chen glanced through briefly and felt delighted.

These Pills were of excellent quality, above Third Tier.

Any single one is worth hundreds of Spirit Stones.

And there were at least a thousand bottles of them in the Storage Ring...

Not to mention the remaining Talismans, Magical Treasures, and Array Plates.

"Indeed, the resources in this Storage Ring are worth at least tens of millions of Spirit Stones..."

"This Fifth Young Master truly is a medicine jar... What a huge profit!"

Lin Chen took all the resources from the Storage Ring and promptly destroyed it.

Afterward, Lin Chen examined the last Storage Ring.

After seeing its contents, Lin Chen paused for a moment.

This Storage Ring contained dozens of bottles of Pills. Lin Chen took out one bottle for a look, and his face slightly changed.

"All Blood Pills... Damn it, how many cultivators and mortals must have been harmed?"

Lin Chen felt a chill down his spine.

The vast Yanlai City, with hundreds of thousands of mortals plus over a thousand cultivators, barely produced a few Blood Pills.

The several hundred Blood Pills in this Storage Ring, wouldn’t that imply at least millions, perhaps tens of millions of mortals died?

"Heh, letting this Fifth Young Master have his Divine Soul destroyed and not enter reincarnation was truly the right thing..."

Lin Chen sneered coldly.

Besides the dozens of Blood Pills, there were some special Magical Treasures.

Lin Chen only sensed them briefly, and his expression changed slightly.

"Looks like these Magical Treasures are indeed those locking onto the aura..."

Lin Chen directly destroyed them and picked up the few remaining jade bottles from the Storage Ring.

"Inside these jade bottles... Spirit Liquid?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow; these small jade bottles contained at least ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid.

"Good, previously breaking through used up quite a bit of Spirit Liquid, just right for replenishment..."

Lin Chen took out the Spirit Liquid and Blood Pills and stored them in the Treasure Gourd, destroying the remaining rings.

Feeling the pursuing enemies getting closer, Lin Chen stepped up his pace, rapidly heading towards Changchun Sect.

After destroying all the storage artifacts, Lin Chen clearly felt a decrease in the sense of crisis.

Presumably, the sensing items were lost.

The location was less than a hundred li away from Changchun Sect, and Lin Chen considered heading in that direction.

When Lin Chen arrived at Changchun Sect, the battle was already nearing the end.

Three thousand demon cultivators, mostly slaughtered by the hundred Martial Arts Puppets Lin Chen deployed.

But nearly half of the Martial Arts Puppets were lost, marking the greatest loss ever.

Sensing Lin Chen’s arrival, True Man Changchun felt a burst of joy and transmitted a message:

"Friend, have you resolved it smoothly?"

Lin Chen nodded and then looked at the corpses of the two Nascent Soul demon cultivators not far away.

Unable to resist praising:

"Impressive as always, Ancestor Changchun, defeating two Nascent Soul cultivators in such a short time..."

As he said this, Lin Chen’s tone changed, and he continued:

"However, there’s not enough time... I sensed the presence of Blood Pupil Old Demon along the way just now."

"At most half an incense stick of time, they will start pursuing."

As Lin Chen spoke, the sense of crisis in his heart rose again.

It seems that Blood Pupil Ancestor and others are already heading towards the Changchun Sect.

Cultivators have a certain intuition for crises, and True Man Changchun is no exception.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Ancestor Changchun looked towards the northwest.

His eyes showed no joy or sorrow, and his expression was unusually calm.

He only nodded slightly and said to Lin Chen:

"Taoist Friend Xu, thank you for your previous help. If it weren’t for your assistance, our Changchun Sect wouldn’t have lasted until now..."

"Since the old demon is coming, you should leave as soon as possible."

"Next, it will be a battle between me and the Blood Pupil Old Demon..."

As he spoke, True Man Changchun’s eyes carried a bit of determination.

"It’s time to resolve the millennium-old grudge..."

Lin Chen quietly watched True Man Changchun, and after a silent moment, nodded.

He bowed to True Man Changchun and said:

"You are noble and upright, in that case. I will take my leave..."

With that, Lin Chen flew into the sky, taking one last look at Changchun Mountain.

He saw the Sect Hall with over a hundred disciples and elders.

Then he turned away...

It’s not that Lin Chen was unwilling to get involved in this battle, but his life was at stake.

As the saying goes, ’Keep the green hills, fear not for firewood,’ this isn’t an empty phrase.

Besides, Lin Chen’s involvement up to this point was already considered compassionate.

He risked a lot by getting involved as Xu Shi in this battle.

The Demon Sect is aggressive, backed by a Great Cultivator from the Spirit Realm, which Lin Chen cannot currently contend with.

Lin Chen also bears the karma of the entire High Martial World, he cannot die here.

Thinking this through, Lin Chen flew a hundred miles to an abandoned mountain southeast of Changchun Mountain.

This abandoned mountain was a temporary cave dwelling Lin Chen had set up in advance.

It has a Restriction to shield from detection and is well-located, allowing for swift escape if necessary.

Of course, a thousand miles underground lies a safe house.

Inside the cave, Lin Chen removed his disguise, put away clothes and other items, restoring his true self.

After ensuring nothing was left behind, he released his Divine Sense towards Changchun Sect.

Lin Chen also wanted to witness the final act of the millennium-old grudge between Changchun Sect and Demon Sect.

Furthermore, he hadn’t forgotten he came to find his master Han Jihai.

Yet up till now, Han Jihai’s whereabouts were unknown, leaving Lin Chen unsettled.

If Master Han Jihai recklessly escapes back, Lin Chen will have to use his trump card to protect him.

...

Meanwhile, at Changchun Mountain.

True Man Changchun stood quietly in the Sect Hall, took a few pills to adjust the True Essence within.

Likewise, over a hundred disciples and elders alive within the sect were mostly without joy or sorrow.

Sitting cross-legged in the sect’s plaza, restoring themselves.

They all knew what was coming.

But at this moment, none prepared to escape.

At this time, within Changchun Sect, time seemed to pause.

No disciple made a sound, not even the birds on the mountains remained...

The air was extraordinarily quiet...

Until suddenly, at a certain moment, True Man Changchun opened his eyes abruptly.

Looking up towards the high skies in the northwest.

Three figures swiftly approached Changchun Sect flying...

Blood Pupil Old Demon, Zheng Tianhe, and another Late Period Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Three Late Period Nascent Soul Cultivators simultaneously descended upon Changchun Sect!

Blood Pupil Old Demon flew high in the sky, quietly overlooking Changchun Mountain below.

All the disciples of Changchun Sect, upon seeing this, arose, forming the Vast Sword Array.

Through the Sect Protection Array, Blood Pupil Old Demon looked at True Man Changchun ahead.

Surprisingly, he showed no hatred or excitement.

He stated calmly:

"Changchun the Old Monster, you’re old... Look at your hair all white."

Upon hearing Blood Pupil Old Demon’s words, True Man Changchun looked up and coldly laughed:

"Blood Pupil, a thousand years have passed... you’re still shameless as ever."

Hearing this, Blood Pupil Old Demon laughed heartily:

"So what, after a thousand years, you still want to avenge Cai’Er?"

Cai’Er...

Upon hearing these two words, True Man Changchun’s body trembled, anger flashed in his eyes.

It seems there is a hidden secret between True Man Changchun and Blood Pupil Old Demon.

The two stood one high, one low.

Blood Pupil Old Demon dressed in a red robe with black clothes, True Man Changchun in azure attire.

No words were spoken, they merely silently stared at each other.

At this moment, the silent air was suddenly disrupted.

Zheng Tianhe speaks.

"Changchun the Old Monster, the murderer of my son, hurry and hand him over!"

Saying this, Zheng Tianhe looked around, yet did not sense Lin Chen’s presence.

True Man Changchun upon hearing this looked up at Zheng Tianhe and the other Late Period Nascent Soul Cultivator, coldly laughed:

"Haha, it’s been hundreds of years, Celestial Harmony Zhenren and True Man Wenshu, have also joined the Demon Sect..."

"The once famous Wenlu Academy and Guangyuan Commerce Association, claimed neutrality never changing..."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Tianhe coldly snorted.

But as for True Man Wenshu, a trace of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.
