143: Fire Mist Sect
“How did the Hong Country Guards get here?!”
“Could it be for this human boy?”
...The Venerables from several major races vaguely had their suspicions. Lin Chen, ranked fifth on the Mortal Realm Ranking, was ennobled as a Baron.
They had come with a glimmer of hope before this.
Elder Xie’s face was extremely grim at this moment. His clan leader had given him two Spirit Burst Pills, but he hadn't expected them to fail in killing this human youth.
He was also very puzzled at this moment, wondering how Lin Chen had escaped. Was it that supreme treasure?
Just as all the Venerables were speculating and wondering, the captain of the Guards, the Venerable with the terrifying aura, approached Lin Chen and bowed slightly.
“Baron, I apologize for mySlowれ.”
Immediately, the captain’s eyes flashed with fierce light as he scanned the group of alien Venerables present.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, sizing up the captain.
He noticed that the captain actually had a wolf head and human body, which was one of the Beastman Race’s branches, the Werewolf branch.
The Beastman Race was extremely numerous throughout the Endless Realm. It was said that this race also controlled a Great World in a distant land!
“Not at all, not at all. You’ve arrived just in time. May I ask what this captain’s name is?”
The Werewolf captain spoke respectfully again.
“Baron, just call me Luo. This time, I came on the orders of Lord Shenyu.”
Shenyu?
Lin Chen suddenly thought of that Celestial God Clan Dao Realm expert.
He then nodded slightly, pointing to the alien Venerables around them.
“Luo, these few races just tried to kill me. What do you think should be done?”
Upon hearing this, Luo’s hands suddenly extended sharp claws. His body grew several times larger at a visible speed, and a bloody killing intent instantly permeated the entire area.
“Baron, according to the laws of Hong Country, the penalty is death!”
After saying this, Luo had already entered a combat state. As soon as Lin Chen gave the order, he would tear these Venerables to shreds!
Seeing this, the nine alien Venerables immediately turned pale. They all pleaded for mercy from Lin Chen.
“Baron, spare our lives! We were blind and didn’t recognize your eminence. It was truly a misunderstanding.”
“Baron, I am willing to compensate you. I will give you source crystals. How does that sound?”
“Baron…”
Lin Chen slowly shook his head. source crystals?
If I kill you, they will all be mine. This time, I was lucky to have the system to get through this ordeal.
But if he wasn't here, humanity would eventually be exterminated by these alien races. The grievances between Lin Chen and these few races were already irreconcilable!
He then glanced indifferently at those Venerables.
“Luo, kill them all.”
As soon as Lin Chen uttered these words, all the alien Venerables were terrified.
The closest Blood Race Venerable’s eyes turned ruthless, and he directly struck at Lin Chen with a palm.
How terrifying was a palm strike from the Venerable Realm? Before the palm even arrived, Lin Chen felt his body vaguely tearing apart.
The next moment, Luo appeared beside him and directly tore apart the Blood Race Venerable’s attack with a claw.
At this moment, Luo was radiating ferocity. He raised his hand and violently squeezed the Blood Race Venerable.
Boom—
A bloody force field appeared, directly enveloping the Blood Race Venerable.
“Ah…”
The Blood Race Venerable immediately screamed repeatedly, his physical body crushed in an instant!
This scene instantly shocked the entire area, and Lin Chen’s pupils contracted.
A Venerable died just like that?
Seeing this, the other eight alien Venerables scattered and fled. They no longer had the courage to resist.
“Can you escape?”
Luo’s huge wolf head grinned ferociously, a truly eerie sight.
A clone emerged from his Inner World, then rapidly pursued them into the distance.
“Baron, please wait a moment. I’ll be back shortly.”
Lin Chen nodded blankly.
Then, Luo’s main body transformed into a streak of red light and vanished from the spot.
Lin Chen waited quietly.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a light blue robe appeared in the distance.
Seeing this, Lin Chen’s alarm bells rang. Another Venerable Realm expert, and a human?
Why hadn’t Luo detected him when he was here just now!
“Young friend, no need to be nervous. I am from the Fire Mist Sect.”
Fire Mist Sect?
Lin Chen immediately thought of the mysterious Fire Mist Sect expert he had seen in the secret realm back then.
He then breathed a sigh of relief and asked the middle-aged man with a smile:
“May I ask, senior, what brings you here?”
The blue-robed middle-aged man flashed and appeared close to Lin Chen. He looked at Lin Chen and spoke indifferently.
“I came on the orders of Ancestor Jin.”
“Young friend, I have been observing you for a while. To possess the mental will of a Venerable Realm expert while only in the Source Beginning Realm is indeed rare.”
“No wonder Ancestor Jin thinks highly of you.”
Ancestor Jin?
Lin Chen recalled the token that mysterious expert had given him, which had the character 'Jin' on it.
Moreover, this middle-aged man could actually hide from Luo’s perception and had been secretly watching him here all along. What a realm this was!
“Senior, I’m just showing off. Compared to the geniuses of the Endless Realm, it’s not worth mentioning.”
Lin Chen chuckled.
The middle-aged man laughed heartily upon hearing this.
“Interesting, interesting. Let’s get straight to the point.”
“Young friend, are you interested in joining my Fire Mist Sect?”
Lin Chen’s heart swelled with joy. Originally, he had planned to join the Blood Phoenix Clan first to improve his realm, and then go to the Fire Mist Sect.
But with the recent series of events, he had already given up on going to the Blood Phoenix Clan.
One reason was that he now had the ability to acquire vast resources himself, and another was his disdain for the Blood Phoenix Clan... However, being able to directly join the Fire Mist Sect now was an excellent choice.
The Fire Mist Sect was a hegemon-level force in the Ziwei Great World. At that time, it would also provide many conveniences for his cultivation and a powerful background!
“Senior, I am willing to join, but I wonder if you could wait for me for two days.”
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction. He threw a memory crystal to Lin Chen.
“This is an introduction to my Fire Mist Sect. You can learn about it beforehand. I will wait for you here for two days.”
After speaking, the middle-aged man’s figure slowly disappeared.
Seeing this, Lin Chen took the memory crystal and probed it with his spiritual power.
Hum—
With this spiritual power as a guide, information about the Fire Mist Sect, even with pictures and videos, quickly flooded into Lin Chen’s mind.
A few minutes later, Lin Chen’s powerful mental will had already received this information.
The Ziwei Great World’s forces were divided into several tiers.
At the very top, and undeniably so, was the Hong Country Imperial Family!
Next were some powerful sects and racial forces.
Among them, the Celestial God Clan, Asura Clan, and Azure Dragon Clan were the three strongest forces besides the Imperial Family, with the Asura Clan being the strongest.
Following them were hegemon-level forces like the Fire Mist Sect. There were ten such forces at this level.
As for racial forces below the hegemon level, they were countless!
The Fire Mist Sect had ten Dao Realm experts, who had each established ten branch lineages. Lin Chen was joining the Jin lineage, one of them.
The Sect Master of the Fire Mist Sect was very mysterious, rarely showing his face.
The Fire Mist Sect primarily cultivated the Dao of Fire, with nearly half of its ten Dao Realm experts having proven their Dao through fire.
The information even included the identity of that middle-aged man from before. That middle-aged man was an Invincible Venerable named Jin Cang!
Just as Lin Chen was deep in thought, Luo’s figure appeared before him. He handed Lin Chen a spatial ring.
“Baron, those racial Venerables have all been killed!”
