Chapter 2377 - 2378: Return to the Sect

Chapter 2377: Chapter 2378: Return to the Sect

"What should we do now? Now that he has escaped, I’m afraid it will be hard to find him again."

Someone sighed lightly, with a tone tinged with despair.

This statement naturally led those elders to silence; after what happened, it is feared that Lu Kang may never be able to return.

After all, right now, his injuries need recovery, and he hasn’t fully integrated with his own body, all requiring time to heal.

Indeed, as previously mentioned by Sect Master Lu Qiming, this person will inevitably make a comeback in three to five years.

"There is no other way. It’s hard to trace him within this place. If we disperse, we fear being defeated one by one. Even if Lu Kang’s power is compromised, we might not be his match."

Liu Qinghan said slowly.

After battling with Lu Kang for such a long time, he became even clearer about the gap between them.

Though Lu Kang couldn’t overcome Liu Qinghan before, similarly, Liu Qinghan’s Cultivation Technique couldn’t restrain Lu Kang.

Liu Qinghan is already like this, needless to say for a few elders here.

"Indeed, especially since he is a Body Cultivator, our attack can’t even break through his bodily defenses!"

Zheng He chimed in, with some frustration.

Those strong men were like iron, even tougher than iron; apart from sensing pain, attacks hardly left any marks on their bodies.

"It’s not entirely the case; every Cultivation Technique has its weaknesses, and the Demon Sect’s techniques should be the same. Otherwise, how did Brother Lin manage to slaughter those strong men?"

At this time, someone added without being identified.

After this comment, many gazes gathered on Lin Chen, with hopes, curiosity, and confusion, as if they were trying to see through Lin Chen standing before them.

Lin Chen felt a shiver of discomfort, shivered slightly, and stepped back, waving his hands hurriedly, "Don’t ask me, I don’t know anything; the situation earlier was just a coincidence."

This reply naturally didn’t satisfy everyone; someone stepped forward, intending to lecture.

But Zheng He stopped the person, then said, "He probably really doesn’t know what the situation was earlier; if he knew, he wouldn’t have been running around chaotically searching for a reason."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lin Chen nodded quickly.

Fortunately, Zheng He was present throughout, clearly understanding the attacks, which prevented the elders from further questioning.

After all, they believed Zheng He; except for a bit of a temper, he never lied to others.

"Let’s talk about this after returning to the sect. We’ve been out for such a long time, and who knows the situation inside the sect now."

Liu Qinghan said slowly, and his words naturally caused everyone to nod in agreement. As they knew, there weren’t any experts guarding the sect right now, and if someone infiltrated the sect, the danger would be beyond imagination.

Following the sound of his words, someone unexpectedly called out the Spirit Boat, and with a shout, everyone boarded the boat, and the unconscious Pan Su was also carried back.

They looked at Pan Su’s corpse and fell silent momentarily, none expecting such an outcome.

Chen Lin also remained silent. Although Pan Su didn’t get along with him, the man was already dead, and Chen Lin naturally didn’t want to bring up those old grudges.

"It’s just a pity for this Holy Artifact. Rumor has it that only the Pan family can use it, but now it’s just a piece of scrap metal."

After silently mourning for Pan Su for several tens of breaths, someone picked up the long rod, playing with it.

Seeing nothing unusual about it, he sighed lightly and put it back on the ground.

They were all Sect Elders and clearly understood the Holy Artifact’s link to Pan’s family; besides Pan family’s bloodline, the artifact wouldn’t recognize outsiders.

And to date, Pan Su was the only known member of the Pan family, but he’s dead now, rendering the artifact useless as scrap metal.

"I refuse to believe the Demon Sect truly possesses earth-shattering capabilities!"

Zheng He spat furiously, knowing the Demon Sect was formidable but couldn’t bear seeing these people bolster the enemy while dampening their own spirits, angrily cursing.

"You are quite optimistic; not to mention others, just those copper-skinned, iron-boned people, aren’t something we can handle."

Someone sighed lightly.

The bodies of those strong men were excessively tough, and beyond that, there were untold numbers of such men in the Demon Sect; reportedly, these individuals were merely outer disciples.

If they were inner disciples, how terrifying would they be?

No one knew, nor could anyone clearly articulate.

"What’s there to be scared of? Earlier, Lu Kang was still beaten and ran away. You worry too much."

Though Zheng He also knew those people were hard to deal with, he didn’t like people boosting the enemy’s morale, so he argued again.

Coincidentally, the elder who spoke earlier had prevented Lin Chen and Zheng He from taking action before, and Zheng He provoked him again.

The elder glared with anger, feeling irate, turned his head abruptly, and said nothing further.

Even though he knew Zheng He was wrong, given the precedent, he refrained from arguing further, just turned his head away from Zheng He to avoid provocation.

...

In such a unique atmosphere, the Spirit Boat had already sailed into the Green Ripple Sect.

The distant journey passed quickly during the travel, thanks to Liu Qinghan’s driving, as the sect was filled with Spiritual Energy.

While focused on the sect, he spared no Spiritual Energy and wholeheartedly pushed forward. And this Spirit Boat moved faster as the cultivator’s rank increased.

When the Spirit Boat landed on the large square within the Green Ripple Sect, everyone disembarked, some with grave expressions, others calmly walking in various directions.

In the blink of an eye, figures dispersed.

Now, only Liu Qinghan, Lin Chen, and others remained on the square.

As for why Lin Chen stayed, naturally, he had his reasons; after all, the Reviving Grass was retrieved, now waiting for Liu Qinghan to heal Chen Jie’s injuries.

Both Chen Lin and Chen Tianming shared such thoughts.
