"Is this a Fourth-Grade Elixir!?"
After seeing the elixir Lin Chen tossed to them, everyone was even more shocked than they were by the Fourth-Grade Killing Formation Lin Chen had deployed—far more astonished.
A Third-Grade Peak elixir was valued at over five hundred thousand Contribution Points within the sect. Even True Disciples would not be able to trade for such an elixir without several years’ worth of accumulated Contribution Points.
Now, Lin Chen actually gifted them such a precious elixir, and everyone felt immensely grateful at this moment.
After receiving the elixir, they hurriedly swallowed it and began to heal.
The Fourth-Grade Elixir was truly deserving of its name; its medicinal effect was several times that of a Third-Grade Elixir. After taking it, everyone’s injuries recovered by a large margin in a short time, and their Spiritual Power was also greatly restored.
However, of course, the elixir Lin Chen gave was only for the Jade Cauldron Sect’s Peak Masters and Sect Master Xu Ma’an. True Disciples like Xu San did not receive any.
Lin Chen wasn’t so wealthy that he could afford to give a Fourth-Grade Elixir to everyone. Even if he could, these fellows weren’t worth Lin Chen’s generosity.
After the various Peak Masters took the elixir and their injuries and Spiritual Power recovered, their faces lit up with joy. Having their own strong power was the safest bet. Just now, even though they were protected by Lin Chen’s Divine Fire Troop Killing Array, they did not feel entirely safe.
After all, if Lin Chen’s Killing Formation broke, they would be mere lambs to the slaughter. However, now it was different; having regained their strength, they had the power to resist the Black Cloud Sect.
A couple of hours had passed since the sky’s Black Cloud blood-colored Killing Formation had gone silent, when suddenly, the sky began to change once again.
Blood-Colored Iron Chains descended from the sky, launching another attack on the people.
Instantly, the scene plunged into chaos again.
Even though Lin Chen had devoured many of the Blood-Colored Iron Chains previously, the martial artists outside didn’t have the protection of Lin Chen’s Killing Formation. Apart from the Black Cloud Sect’s people, the others had not recovered much Spiritual Power. Facing the onslaught of Blood-Colored Iron Chains from the sky again, the people could only feel endless fear in their hearts.
Facing these Blood-Colored Iron Chains, they could only submit to being slaughtered.
At this moment, as the Blood-Colored Iron Chains dove down, countless martial artists were drained of their Spiritual Power, reduced to mere skeletons.
Within the Divine Fire Troop Killing Array, Lin Chen watched the phenomena in the distant sky and his face displayed an extremely regretful expression.
For Lin Chen, the energy contained within each of those Blood-Colored Iron Chains was worth the value of several hundred thousand Top-Quality Spirit Stones—a supreme treasure to Lin Chen.
However, those Blood-Colored Iron Chains were too far away from them.
It was evident that, following the previous lesson, the Black Cloud Sect was deliberately avoiding Lin Chen and the others.
The ten Stone Sculpture Puppets could listen to the commands of the Second Soul Division and could shift the Great Formation over there, but doing so would consume a lot of Spiritual Power. By the time Lin Chen and the others moved the Killing Formation there, who knew if the Blood-Colored Iron Chains would have already moved elsewhere.
Perhaps after Lin Chen had expended his Spiritual Power and the formation had lost its effect, the Black Cloud Sect would take their chances against them.
That’s why Lin Chen felt such regret—if those Blood-Colored Iron Chains had come to their location, he could have plundered them.
Now, to see but not be able to possess was no different from having one’s treasure stolen by someone else.
At this moment, the members of the Great Flame Dynasty’s Royal Family and the other Six Sects were desperately dodging the attacks of the blood-colored iron chains falling from the sky.
"Damn it, these blood-colored iron chains just don’t quit. At this rate, I’m afraid even I might end up falling here."
"Wait, these blood-colored iron chains seem not to attack the people from the Jade Cauldron Sect. Could it be because those guys from the Jade Cauldron Sect entangled the chains and led them into their Killing Formation?"
"No matter, I have to try it."
Hua Lianxin’s face was deathly pale at this moment. Already consumed by the immense exertion of her spiritual power, she was now being chased by a blood-colored iron chain and was about to be caught up to. She was very clear about the consequences if she were caught by that blood-colored iron chain, so, gritting her teeth, she decided to fight and suddenly flew towards the direction of the Jade Cauldron Sect.
Upon reaching the area of the Jade Cauldron Sect and its members, she immediately sensed the aura of the Killing Formation; the nearby temperature had risen considerably.
Hua Lianxin knew that the Killing Formation was not something she could just barge into, and she didn’t think the people of the Jade Cauldron Sect would open their Formation to offer her refuge.
However, having reached the vicinity of the Jade Cauldron Sect members, she felt her goal had already been achieved.
Looking up at the sky, Hua Lianxin saw that the blood-colored iron chains indeed did not follow her, and her heart suddenly filled with joy.
Her life was saved for now. She immediately collapsed to the ground, took out an elixir to restore her spiritual power, and couldn’t help admiring her own intelligence.
"Miss Hua comes to our Jade Cauldron Sect alone. Do you think that there are no matches for you in our Sect, and so you have come to provoke us?"
Just as Hua Lianxin was about to swallow the elixir to restore her spiritual power and then sit in meditation, a voice sounded from behind her.
Hua Lianxin immediately turned around, only to see a handsome figure appear behind her—it was Lin Chen.
"So it’s Young Master Lin Chen. Lianxin is in the wrong here. I’m not sure what you mean by that. Floral Transfer Palace and your esteemed Sect have always had no grievances; there’s no question of provocation. Lianxin just came here to avoid the blood-colored iron chains from the sky. I hope Junior Brother Lin Chen will allow it," she said with a seductive smile, twisting her waist as she spoke to Lin Chen.
In the Floral Transfer Palace, Hua Lianxin was not only a highly influential Senior Sister but also her looks and figure were considered superior. She had quite a few suitors among the Seven Sects.
She believed that with such a temptation, Lin Chen would surely not drive her away.
"Oh? Is Senior Sister Hua not here to trouble me?"
"Yesterday at the Wanxing Commerce Association, didn’t you say if you saw me, you would flay me and give me a harsh lesson?"
Lin Chen looked at Hua Lianxin with an extremely icy demeanor, showing an utterly cold expression.
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Hua Lianxin’s mind went blank; she had no idea when she had said such a thing to Lin Chen.
She wasn’t stupid. From Lin Chen’s earlier behavior, she could tell that he was now a core figure of the Jade Cauldron Sect. He not only had immense strength but also absolute authority. Orıginal content can be found at novel⁂fire.net
Even Xu Ma’an and the others would likely have to listen to him now.
