C144 Meeting on a Narrow Path

Chu Chen, Lin Yi, and the others steered the half gourd towards the Skysoul Institute.

The gourd was a secret treasure, and at the moment, it was glowing. There were many magical formations circulating within it, and the combination of spiritual power allowed it to fly through the air.

It was much smaller than the previous airship, and its speed was much slower as well. It was about the same as an ordinary Martial Soul Stage cultivator.

It was already seven to eight days later when they arrived at the Great Desolate City. It was a full two to three days slower than when they first left for the Northern Wasteland Forest on their warships. However, it wasn't strange.

Grand Desolate City was still bustling with life. This was the boundary of the Skysoul Institute. After passing through the city, they would arrive at the pure land of the Skysoul Institute in a single day's time.

However, Chu Chen and the rest stopped in their tracks and did not proceed any further. It was best if they allowed Lin Xiao and the rest to heal their injuries in the Great Desolate City.

Even though Chu Chen and the rest were disciples of the Skysoul Institute, Lin Xiao and Lin Cheng were only family members. According to the rules, family members were not allowed to stay in the Skysoul Institute.

Thus, the only choice was to leave them in the Grand Desolate City. Here, they would be absolutely safe and able to recuperate in peace.

Chu Chen found a small courtyard in the Great Desolate City. It wasn't very big, just like the courtyard from ancient times. It was very quiet and was very suitable for recuperating.

After settling down, Lin Yi stayed behind to take care of the three of them. Right now, her father was seriously injured, so no matter what, she would wait until her father recovered.

As for Chu Chen, he decided to make a trip back to Lin City. He wanted to go back and see if Lin Tong was already dead, or if he had returned to Lin City.

"That bastard, once this old man recovers, I will personally kill him!"

Towards Lin Tong's actions, Lin Xiao and the rest were furious. If it were not for the sneak attack, how could they have ended up in such a sorry state?

Regarding Lin Tong, they had already planned to kill him. Once their injuries healed, they would probably rush back to the Lin City to kill Lin Tong with their own hands.

As for Chu Chen wanting to go back to take a look, Lin Xiao had actually refused. However, Chu Chen had already given up. Moreover, Chu Chen had repeatedly promised that he would not be in any danger.

At first, Chu Chen had wanted to leave the white Hu Hu behind in the Great Wastelands City, but when the White Hu saw Lin Yi's smile, it tightly held onto Chu Chen's clothes, refusing to let go no matter what. In the end, Chu Chen had no choice but to bring the white Hu with him.

Chu Chen rode on half a gourd by himself and his speed was much faster. However, it took him five days to reach Lin City.

The Lin City was still the same, with many people coming and going, flourishing like a brocade. However, there were many less soldiers inside the city, and it was no longer filled with the solemn atmosphere from before.

Chu Chen carefully moved forward, but fortunately, he did not attract too much attention and no one recognized him.

He snuck back into the Lin Residence. After a thorough investigation, he discovered that apart from a few servants, the Lin Residence was already completely empty. Lin Tong and Mu Tianming had disappeared without a trace.

"They're not in the Lin Clan Residence, where did they go?"

Chu Chen frowned. From his understanding of Lin Tong, he knew that Lin Tong would not let this matter rest. If he failed this time, he would definitely make a comeback. Now that he left, he had to think of an even bigger conspiracy.

In the end, Chu Chen also left because there was no longer any point in staying in the Lin City.

This time, he no longer rode on the other half of the gourd. Instead, he walked on foot through the mountains and rivers. His heart was calm like still water.

On this day, he arrived at a dangerous place. This was a cliff, and there was only a narrow path that zigzagged into the distance.

It was a very narrow road, so only one person could pass through. If the two of them met on the same road, then someone had to stop. The other person had to.

At this moment, a beautiful figure suddenly walked over, attracting Chu Chen's attention. It was a beautiful woman with a cold and aloof aura.

The aura she gave off was very cold. Even on a hot summer's day, it would make people feel cold. She had a beautiful face, fair skin, and a slender figure.

In terms of appearance, this woman was on par with Lin Yi. However, her ice-cold aura was exactly the same as Zi Xi Yue's. Without Lin Yi's affinity, she had the chilling intent of Zi Xi Yue.

Chu Chen was endlessly praising that woman's appearance. Being a fish in a haystack would bring calamity to the people.

The girl walked over, seeing the light in Chu Chen's eyes, she could not help but reveal a look of disgust. She raised her proud head and said like a swan, "This lady is going to travel, mortals should quickly give way!"

Hearing this, Chu Chen was displeased. Originally, if this woman had not said anything and had acted in a gentlemanly manner, he would have made way for her. But now, since this woman was so arrogant, if he let her go, where would he put his face?

"I am a mortal, and you are a fairy. This path is the path that I, a mortal, tread. If you continue to walk this path, I'm afraid it will sully your holy body. You should take another path!

Chu Chen said, seemingly very polite, but in truth his words were full of praise, and there was no lack of criticism in his words. His meaning was very clear, this was the path he wanted to take, and he did not want to give up.

Li Yunlong from The Brilliant Sword said, 'No matter when, you have to show your sword. This is the spirit of the Brilliant Sword. When you meet on a narrow path, the brave will win!'

Since the other party didn't want him to display his gentleman demeanor, then why should he maintain his elegant noble demeanor?

"I don't want to say anything more!"

The cold girl spoke another five words as if she really did not want to talk anymore. Her eyes were gloomy and the flickering light became increasingly cold.

"I don't want to say anything either!"

Chu Chen did not give in, and he confronted him tit for tat.

Boom!

In the next moment, the cold girl directly made her move. She raised her slender white hands and lightly waved them. Her pure white jade fingers were like fireworks as they shot towards Chu Chen.

"One step into the Martial Soul Stage!"

Chu Chen could see the cultivation base of the cold lady. She had broken through to the Great Circle of the Natal Opening Realm and had already stepped into the Martial Soul realm. With such a strong cultivation base, she should be an outstanding disciple of a certain great sect.

However, the current situation did not give Chu Chen much time to think. He quickly formed a seal and formed a shape of a mountain with his hands. Using the archaic divine technique, he directly threw it out.

With a bang, the mountain crashed into the blazing divine beam. In the blink of an eye, the two sides disintegrated into nothingness.

Even though Chu Chen was only at the middle stage of the Natal Opening Realm, his strength had increased by leaps and bounds. He absolutely could not use common sense. Even if he were to fight an ordinary Martial Soul cultivator, he would still have the strength to fight.

As for the cold girl, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She did not think that Chu Chen would be able to block one of her attacks with his middle stage Natal Opening Realm strength.
