If Lin Chen were to conflict with Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze, he might be able to escape if overpowered, but if he were entangled by the magic rope in Tan Yu's hands, he could only wait for death.
Among the various forces, Zhang Caiyun, Zhang Hongying, and other Zhang Family's disciples were the weakest. Seeing them in trouble, Lin Chen initially intended to help, but after thinking it through, he ultimately gave up on the idea.
After all, even though the Zhang Family's disciples were in a predicament, their weak position kept them from rashly venturing into those passages, so their situation wasn't too dangerous.
Lin Chen thought that if he were to rescue them, they would still separate afterward. Who could know if they would end up in danger again? Therefore, it was better not to save them.
Besides, Lin Chen still needed to take Zi Ling and Cheng Liang to look for the Water of Life. Bringing Zhang Caiyun and Zhang Hongying along would only increase troubles, and they would become burdens to Lin Chen.
Furthermore, who could guarantee that when Lin Chen took them to find the Water of Life, the Zhang Family's disciples wouldn't turn against him and fight for it?
Indeed, in the face of such extraordinary treasures, no one could ensure they could withstand the temptation. The human heart is unpredictable, and Lin Chen didn't want to test the Zhang Family's intentions with such matters, only to increase his troubles out of nowhere.
And by using the Abyssal Eye, Lin Chen observed everyone's actions. What shocked him most was not Yun Kaige, nor Yun Xinrui and Bai Ze, but Yun Feiyang, who appeared gentle on the surface.
If Lin Chen hadn't seen Yun Feiyang kill an Illusion Demon Bat with a single punch, he would have thought Yun Feiyang was a completely non-threatening person.
Having witnessed Yun Feiyang's formidable strength, Lin Chen had to admire him. This guy was truly adept at disguising himself, even deceiving Lin Chen.
Compared to this guy, Lin Chen's methods of hiding cultivation were simply insignificant.
This person seemed that unless it was a life-and-death duel and he was certain of killing the opponent, he would not expose his true strength.
In Lin Chen's view, Yun Feiyang's strength surpassed even Yun Kaige, and Yun Xinrui was no match for him. It had to be said that this guy was hidden very deeply.
Although Yun Kaige was strong, fighting with these Illusion Demon Bats took three to four dozen rounds at least to kill one, but Yun Feiyang needed only one move to obliterate them, showcasing his incredible power.
If someone as terrifying as Yun Feiyang was considered of medium talent in the Yunlong Country Royal Family, then other Heavenly Prides in the world might as well give up.
One could guess that in the previous battle rankings, Yun Feiyang too hid his true strength when fighting against those Spiritual Puppets. It must be said his schemes were deep, nearly fooling Lin Chen.
If it weren't for Lin Chen possessing the Abyssal Eye, he really would've been deceived by this guy.
But speaking of which, why did this guy go to such lengths to hide his intentions?
Through this incident, Lin Chen developed a new understanding of Yun Feiyang and became extremely wary of him.
Such people were the most terrifying; their schemes so profound that becoming their enemy would mean sleepless nights.
Compared to the attention-seeking Yun Kaige, Yun Feiyang was, in truth, the more fearsome enemy.
Lin Chen would rather face a hundred Yun Kaiges than one Yun Feiyang.
Nevertheless, Lin Chen was relieved that he had not yet formed any enmity with Yun Feiyang.
At this moment, within the cave passage.
"Young Master, with your formidable strength, why do you willingly become an ordinary prince, letting those two fight for the throne?"
Niugu followed Yun Feiyang and, seeing how easily Yun Feiyang destroyed the Illusion Demon Bats, asked in confusion.
Niugu had always been puzzled about why his young master chose to hide his true strength and not showcase his talent.
If not for this, how could they have remained unsupported in Yunlong City?
"My mother consort's status in the palace is inferior to the others, so my standing in the Imperial City is also lower than other princes', lacking any support. If I exposed my talent too early, those ruthless individuals definitely wouldn't have let me live until now."
"I may escape danger, but in the palace where intrigue abounds, if I displayed too much talent, my mother would surely suffer because of me. Thus, for my mother and myself, feigning ordinary talent is actually safer. The way of survival within the palace isn't as simple as you might think."
Yun Feiyang looked back at Niugu and spoke calmly.
Niugu had been Yun Feiyang's personal guard since his birth, and Yun Feiyang trusted him completely; otherwise, he wouldn't have revealed his true strength in front of him.
Both Yun Feiyang and Lin Chen shared a common trait: they both wanted to protect the people they cared about the most. For anyone who saw his true strength, if not trusted, would end up silenced. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveIꜰire.net
So Niugu, whom Yun Feiyang trusted greatly, witnessed Yun Feiyang's strength; otherwise, it would result in being purged, as it would any other martial artist.
However, Yun Feiyang could never have known that his deepest secret was utterly deciphered by Lin Chen with the help of the Abyssal Eye.
Nor would Yun Feiyang have known that Lin Chen possessed the Abyssal Eye, a pupil skill surpassing the Divine Soul.
Otherwise, Yun Feiyang would certainly not display his true strength again.
"Young Master, why did you spend so much money at the foot of the mountain outside to buy that kid's Flame Explosion Talisman? Although the Talisman Inscription is powerful, it's of no use to you."
Niugu looked at Yun Feiyang, questioning in confusion.
Even Niugu had no idea, until today, how terrifying Yun Feiyang's strength was.
Though his young master had always managed to navigate dangers in the past, he never showed his true strength in front of Niugu.
Now witnessing Yun Feiyang's true power, Niugu was astounded.
After all, his young master's talent and strength have always been considered the most ordinary among all the princes.
Yet now, even Yun Kaige, whose talent could rival the Royal Family's brightest from a century ago, paled in comparison to his young master. How could anyone not be shocked by this?
