204: Chapter 202: Lin Chen argues, Zhang Shuya comes to the rescue

They headed straight for the palace. The entity hidden behind the clouds seemed to perceive their intentions, and its massive tentacles began to block their path, attempting to stop them.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Each tentacle was like a mountain falling from the sky, and each descent caused the ground to tremble violently.

Unable to fly, their situation was extremely perilous.

The continuous heavy blows from the tentacles left the three below struggling to cope. Moreover, every time an energy tentacle fell, Li Mengran seemed to have bad Luck, always getting caught in the aftermath and looking disheveled.

Although Zhou Qiluo was also occasionally affected, her situation was much better than Li Mengran's.

Inside the palace, everyone observing this scene exchanged glances. They knew from Gu Shengge that Li Mengran had received a seventh-grade Medicinal Pill and three Spirit Treasures. From the items she gained, they were far more valuable than what Zhou Qiluo received.

In this situation, their current predicament seemed to confirm that Lin Chen had plundered their Luck. The more benefits one received from Lin Chen, the more severely their Luck was plundered.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, everyone's hearts trembled. While fleeing, Li Mengran was struck by a huge tentacle, which slammed her directly into the ground.

This time, she wasn't given a chance to escape. The moment the tentacle touched her, her Physical Body collapsed, and her Divine Soul shattered instantly under the violent energy impact, signifying her death and the end of her Dao.

Zhou Qiluo, who was nearby, was also affected. The violent energy impact directly sent her flying, and she landed heavily on the ground.

Lin Chen was also hit by the rampant energy, sending him flying. However, his direction was quite good, heading directly towards the palace.

Zhou Qiluo got up, disheveled, and tried to continue fleeing, but dozens of energy tentacles locked onto her the moment she stabilized herself. It was impossible for her to escape again.

The light emitted by the Spirit Treasure on her body only resisted for an instant before shattering completely. She herself was then engulfed by the massive energy tentacles, dying a tragic death.

Inside the palace, Jun Mengqing, Nie Ling, and the two Disciples felt their hearts tremble again. Two powerful fellow Disciples had fallen before their eyes, greatly shocking them.

At this moment, the stumbling Lin Chen finally rushed into the hall. A faint golden light enveloped them, and the warm aura healed his Physical Body and Divine Soul.

Lin Chen felt that his condition had improved significantly.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, he realized that there were many people in the palace, and they were all looking at him.

"Mengqing, Nie Ling, why are you here?" he asked, surprised.

When his gaze fell upon Gu Shengge, his eyes suddenly reddened, and he angrily cursed, "Is it you! Is it you who deliberately prevented Mengqing and Nie Ling from rescuing our fellow Disciples! Don't you know that because of you, Junior Sister Mengran and Junior Sister Qiluo are already dead!"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, filled with righteous indignation. His furious expression and almost frenzied tone, if not for everyone witnessing the entire process, they might have been fooled by his acting.

Nie Ling and the two Disciples recalled the events that transpired along the way and gradually understood that the reason they always misunderstood Gu Shengge, besides their own ridiculous sense of superiority, was due to Saint Lin Chen's instigation.

He always spoke ambiguous words, making them suspect Gu Shengge, and then, under his deliberate guidance, they would imagine Gu Shengge's treacherous and evil deeds. This led to their consistently hostile attitude towards Gu Shengge.

For example, this time, if they hadn't seen Lin Chen abandon Zhou Qiluo and Li Mengran, and if Nie Ling hadn't explained the matter of plundering Luck, they would likely have misunderstood Gu Shengge for not allowing the Saintess to rescue them, leading to the tragic deaths of their two Senior Sisters.

Lin Chen became more and more agitated, but he found that the audience's reaction was indifferent, and his expression couldn't help but turn ugly, his voice becoming softer and softer.

One of the Jietian Sect Disciples frowned and said, "Your Highness Saint, we personally saw you abandon Senior Sister Zhou Qiluo and Senior Sister Li Mengran. Can you really deny this matter?"

Perhaps wanting to save face for their Saint, they did not speak their thoughts plainly.

Lin Chen, however, still tried to argue, "The situation was critical at the time, this Saint couldn't possibly look after them! And they didn't say anything either! Is it your place to point fingers?"

Everyone's expressions were somewhat gloomy. They never expected Lin Chen to still try to cover up his crimes at this moment.

Another Jietian Sect Disciple snorted coldly, "Your Highness Saint, if not for you, with the talent and Luck of our Senior Sisters, would they truly have fallen?"

At the mention of Luck, Lin Chen's gaze paused, and he couldn't help but wonder why they brought up the topic of Luck. Could they have discovered something?

Impossible! The System is omnipotent; how could it be discovered? The method of gifting Spirit Treasures to plunder Luck couldn't possibly allow anyone to detect anything. How could it be discovered?

Thinking this, he still stubbornly said, "What do you mean by this? This Saint doesn't understand!"

The two Jietian Sect Disciples did not continue speaking, after all, Gu Shengge and Jun Mengqing had not yet spoken!

At this moment, Jun Mengqing's and Lin Chen's communication Spirit Jade lit up simultaneously. It was a message from the Jietian Sect.

The two opened their communication Spirit Jade, and as light was released, Zhang Shuya's face appeared on it.

Seeing that both of them were fine, she was momentarily stunned, then anxiously asked, "How are you two?"

Before Jun Mengqing could even start, Lin Chen angrily cursed, "What exactly is going on with this city? The monsters we encountered are basically all in the Transformation God Realm, and there's a terrifying entity in the sky whose cultivation level we don't know. How did you investigate?"

Zhang Shuya was speechless. This was indeed their mistake, which was why they rushed over quickly, hoping to rescue them.

However, the scene within the city had completely collapsed, terrifying beyond measure. They dared not immediately step in before thoroughly investigating the situation.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and said, "This Saint doesn't care, you must find a way to come in and rescue us immediately. This wretched place, this Saint doesn't want to stay here for even a moment longer!"

Currently, everyone's attitude towards him was somewhat strange, and it was hard to guarantee whether or not they had discovered something, so he became even more unwilling to stay here.

Zhang Shuya said bitterly, "Alright, Saint, please calm down. We will rescue you as quickly as possible."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the palace suddenly shook violently. The energy tentacles, which had previously dared not approach, now wrapped around the palace. Violent energy fluctuations invaded the palace, causing the interior scene to flicker.

Lin Chen's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Hurry, you must be quick!"

The communication Spirit Jade's image flickered and shook, and the next moment, it suddenly vanished.

The group's expressions changed drastically, and they watched the terrifying tentacles outside with tense faces.

Jun Mengqing asked, surprised, "This monster far surpasses the Transformation God Realm; it's not something we can contend with."
