"This guy indeed has a life-saving trump card in his hand, and it's so strong. If earlier, instead of those fire dragons, he had attacked me, I'm afraid I would be severely injured by now."
Lin Chen watched Yun Kaige unleash that powerful sword light to shatter the ten fire dragons he had condensed, feeling utterly shaken inside.
The attack that Yun Kaige had just unleashed was extremely powerful, surpassing the might of the Early Stage of the Creation Realm, comparable to a full-strength strike by a Mid Creation Realm strongman.
Until this moment, Lin Chen was still filled with fear; he might not have been able to withstand that sword if it had come at him directly.
"It seems you were the cautious one. If this guy's attack had come my way, I couldn't have withstood it, not in my current state."
Little Profound Turtle lay on Lin Chen's shoulder, watching Yun Kaige and the others flee outside the sea of flames, and sighed.
Initially, they thought taking down someone like Yun Kaige would be easy, but now it seems that with such a trump card, there was no point trying to kill him; he might get seriously injured by the unexpected power of the magic treasure.
"I told you before, never underestimate these aristocratic families. They have deep backgrounds, and Yun Kaige is their treasure, so they wouldn't let him wander without leaving a life-saving trump card."
Lin Chen grunted and admonished Little Profound Turtle again.
If Little Profound Turtle had really attacked earlier, it would have exposed his identity, which would bring Lin Chen endless trouble. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel⟡fire.net
"Alright, try not to show your face in the future. Don't draw attention; just hide in my sleeve, and if I'm in danger I can't handle, then you can act."
"Like earlier, if Yun Kaige's attack had come for me, you must block it at all costs."
Lin Chen said to Little Profound Turtle.
If such a situation occurred, Lin Chen would have Little Profound Turtle act, definitely summon Dragon Fang and Master Qingxu to handle the troubles, or Little Profound Turtle's exposure would surely bring endless trouble.
As for people like Zhang Hongying, at that time, Lin Chen would knock them out and have the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron erase their memories of these events.
"You want me to block that sword? With the current extent of my recovered strength, I can't possibly block it. Are you trying to get me killed in your place?"
Little Profound Turtle was very dissatisfied upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
Hearing this, Lin Chen found it amusing yet helpless.
"Do you think I want it this way? Isn't it with no other option? My physique isn't as strong as yours. You might be severely injured taking that sword, but you wouldn't die. After some time of recovery, you'd be fine, just like on the Huangyu Continent when you fought the Black Jiao, severely injured but now fully recovered."
"But I'm different; my physique isn't like yours. If I were truly to die to that sword, after my death, you could no longer train in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron."
"Of course, if you help to block the attack for me, it's naturally a great merit, and you can freely use the Second Layer's space for cultivation in the future."
Lin Chen said to Little Profound Turtle.
"Fine, but since you said it, if I block the attack for you, you can't yell at me in the future about absorbing too many starlights."
Little Profound Turtle said to Lin Chen in a calm tone.
Recently, it had been training in the Second Layer of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, and Lin Chen complained about its excessive starlight absorption, wanting to limit it.
"Don't worry, I, Lin Chen, always keep my word."
Lin Chen said to Little Profound Turtle, then took out an elixir and quickly recovered his spiritual power. Condensing those ten fire dragons had consumed a lot of spiritual power, and Yun Kaige's sword had smashed them, causing significant backlash.
The elixirs refined by Zhao Rushi were truly extraordinary, allowing Lin Chen to recover quickly even after consuming so much. Without these elixirs, it would take him at least a day to recover his injuries and spiritual power.
After recovering his spiritual power, Lin Chen once again performed the Fire Control Technique, condensing ten fire dragons, then flew to stand on top of one of the fire dragon's heads, and mightily pursued towards the periphery of the sea of flames.
The heavy injury Lin Chen suffered, if Yun Kaige and the others thought they could intercept Lin Chen outside, Lin Chen didn't mind giving them another round of fire dragon slaughter.
Driving the ten fire dragons to the periphery of the sea of flames, sure enough, Yun Kaige, Shi An, and the others hadn't left but were still gathered with people from the Black Yan Hall.
Apparently, to deal with Lin Chen, these guys actually didn't hesitate to cooperate with the Black Yan Hall.
One should know that the Yunlong Heavenly Palace and the Black Yan Hall are sworn enemies with deep grudges, never mind collaborating, they would be at each other's throats upon meeting.
Yet at this moment, to deal with Lin Chen, they actually collaborated with the Black Yan Hall, a situation that surely would leave the higher-ups of Yunlong Heavenly Palace perplexed if they knew.
Fengchi and the others were shocked to see Lin Chen appear.
They had presumed that Lin Chen, being chased by Yun Kaige into the sea of flames half a month ago and not resurfacing for fifteen days, must be dead for sure; but surprisingly, he was still alive.
If Lin Chen were dead, the Black Yan Hall's dreams of the Purple Scale Fruit would be dashed.
Their reason for not leaving wasn't like Yun Kaige and others, using the flame sea's power to temper their bodies, since the flame energy would restrict their cultivation of dark attribute techniques.
They stayed because they didn't want to give up the Flame Crystal Stones beneath the sea of flames.
After all, these Flame Crystal Stones were valuable and precious.
During this time, they've reached an agreement with the Yunlong Heavenly Palace people; they won't attack each other on this island and will prioritize opportunities.
But the prerequisite was Zhang Hongying and Liu Yong handing over the Purple Scale Fruit they possessed.
Of course, it wasn't to be handed directly to the Black Yan Hall just yet, as there was uncertainty about whether they would turn hostile after acquiring the Purple Scale Fruit.
So, everyone ultimately decided to hand over the Purple Scale Fruits, all concentrated on Yun Kaige.
