CHAPTER 677: CHAPTER 677: EXPOSURE

"Master Wang, did you also hear it?"

Chen Yuxuan spoke: "It seems we must make a move!"

"Indeed."

Wang Hao’s face was also pale.

The thought of facing a Divine Thought Master in the mid-Emperor Realm made his scalp tingle.

If their Divine Souls were to be injured, it would surely impact their paths of Cultivation!

Moreover, Ling Chen might even possess the power to annihilate their Divine Souls.

"Let’s observe a bit longer before taking action!"

Chen Yuxuan said.

"That works."

Wang Hao nodded.

The higher the cultivation, the greater the fear of death.

Especially for those like them, who controlled an entire sect.

They were used to admiration and standing above all others.

And once dead, they would lose everything.

The five continued to follow Ling Chen.

Ling Chen was not showing his true speed; he was merely using Spiritual Power to propel himself, so the five of them could keep up with him easily.

"Pavilion Master, how is everything in the sect now?"

Ling Chen took out the Communication Token to contact Liu Xiao.

"Everything is still fine."

Liu Xiao laughed: "How about you?"

Ling Chen fell silent for a moment, then said: "My whereabouts have been discovered, and currently there are five Emperor-level cultivators following me."

"What?"

Liu Xiao’s face was full of shock: "How could they possibly find you?"

He knew that Ling Chen was traversing through towering mountains and steep ridges.

Even dispatching tens of thousands of people might not suffice to locate Ling Chen.

How did the Burning Flame Sect do it?

"I’m not sure either."

Ling Chen answered in a deep tone.

"What is their strength? Have they not made a move against you?"

Liu Xiao asked again, his voice tinged with a trace of anxiety.

Ling Chen was the hope of his Circulation Star Pavilion!

If Ling Chen were to die, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

"Chen Yuxuan, Wang Hao, and three dual-star Emperor-level cultivators. However, Pavilion Master, rest assured, I have temporarily deterred them with my methods."

Ling Chen said.

"What?"

Liu Xiao was utterly astonished.

He had witnessed Ling Chen’s power, which was barely comparable to an early third-layer World Realm Emperor.

Definitely not a match for the likes of Chen Yuxuan!

Yet Ling Chen had remarkably deterred two Sect Master-level Emperors, it was almost inconceivable!

Unfortunately, he was only able to remain at the sect, controlling the Circulation Star Array.

He couldn’t clone himself to help Ling Chen.

"Pavilion Master, I’m temporarily fine, you go ahead and deal with the sect’s affairs!"

Ling Chen communicated.

"Alright!"

Liu Xiao replied: "Take care of yourself, I’ll send someone over as soon as I can."

Now, the only ones who could help Ling Chen were Lei Lie’s protection and Shen Xing.

With Ling Chen’s discovery, Shen Xing likely met the same fate.

He didn’t understand how, after the two entered the woods, people from the Burning Flame Sect were able to discover them?

He tried to contact Shen Xing.

But failed to reach him.

It seemed Shen Xing too had been entangled by someone.

"Lei Lie, you go out and find Ling Chen later."

Liu Xiao ordered.

The last time, he sent out Ling Chen and another.

Now it seemed impossible to leave quietly and unnoticed.

People from the Burning Flame Sect would surely be on guard.

As expected, Lei Lie soon returned.

Quite disheveled.

"Pavilion Master, Spirit Arrays have been laid outside. Once someone passes by, an alarm will be triggered!"

Lei Lie said with a wry smile.

He had been forced back by two Sect Masters.

Had it not been for his quick reaction, he might not have been able to return at all.

Hearing this, Liu Xiao’s mood sunk to the bottom.

"Ling Chen, everything now depends on you!"

Liu Xiao thought to himself.

He absolutely could not give up the Star Pavilion, here were not only his relatives but also Ling Chen’s.

It was simply not realistic to abandon so many for the sake of one person.

Moreover, even if he took action, Ye Tianjun would firmly entangle him.

At that time, he would also fall into a dangerous situation.

...

Soon, three thousand li had passed.

Chen Yuxuan and the other five Emperors were still in hot pursuit.

Ling Chen could only take out high-quality Spirit Crystals from his storage ring, refine the Spiritual Energy, restore his Spiritual Power and increase his cultivation level.

At the same time, he also kept stuffing Spiritual Fish into his mouth.

These Spiritual Fish were specially prepared when he left the Circulation Pavilion.

He knew from the outset that he might not be able to return to the Circulation Pavilion for a short time.

An hour later.

"Boom!"

Ling Chen’s body shook, and he made another breakthrough.

He had reached the middle stage of the ninth level of the World Realm.

"Hmm?"

Chen Yuxuan and the others were taken aback.

The distance between the two sides was less than two thousand zhang, so they could naturally sense it.

Originally, they thought Ling Chen was just restoring his Spiritual Power.

Now, it seemed not so simple.

This guy was actually making a breakthrough!

Wang Hao’s eyes lit up and said, "Sect Master Chen, it seems that this Ling Chen is not as strong as we imagined!"

"Yes, if Ling Chen truly had the power to kill us, why would he be so desperate to make a breakthrough?" Chen Yuxuan nodded.

"Hmph!"

Wang Hao snorted coldly and said: "I get it now, Ling Chen killing six Emperors in an instant was just a scare tactic! His real strength is probably only enough to deal with a one-star Emperor!"

"Bastard!"

Chen Yuxuan’s face was ashen as he cursed: "This brat is actually toying with us?"

Even though they felt Ling Chen was toying with them, they did not dare to approach directly.

Because they did not dare to take the risk.

"Ding Banxia, you go up!"

Wang Hao looked towards a late-stage second-level World Realm powerhouse behind him.

On hearing this, Ding Banxia’s expression stiffened.

"Master Wang, this Ling Chen is a middle-grade Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master!"

Ding Banxia said with a wry smile.

With Ling Chen’s methods, he could instantly kill a one-star Emperor.

Even though he was a two-star Emperor, he did not dare to take a direct hit!

Moreover, if his Divine Soul were injured, it could affect his cultivation foundation.

Who knows how many years it would take to recover.

"Ding Banxia, you’ve also heard what Sect Leader Ye said. Now you have two choices: take action or die!" Chen Yuxuan said coldly.

As long as they killed Ling Chen, what did it matter if three two-star Emperors died?

Seeing that the two three-star Emperors were both targeting him, he knew that not taking action was not an option!

With the habits of these two sects, killing him was nothing.

Ling Chen’s terrifying talent had completely driven Ye Tianjun mad.

To kill Ling Chen, he would spare no effort!

"Fine!"

Ding Banxia could only grit his teeth and agree.

"Go ahead! Even if you die, we will take care of your descendants!" Wang Hao finally said contentedly.

"Swoosh!"

Ding Banxia suddenly accelerated and blasted towards Ling Chen.

"Ah, finally taking action?"

Ling Chen stood mid-air, looking towards the approaching figure.

He did not take a two-star Emperor seriously.

What he truly feared were the two three-star Emperors behind!

"Forget it, it seems a battle today is inevitable!"

A warlike intent shone in Ling Chen’s eyes.

"You’re seeking death?"

A voice came out from Ling Chen’s mouth.

Startled by Ling Chen’s shout, Ding Banxia jumped nervously, his body slightly trembling.

However, he had no way out now.

If he retreated, he would die; if he advanced, there might be a glimmer of hope!

"Kid, stop pretending. We already know that your Divine Soul Attack can only kill a one-star Emperor at best!" Ding Banxia bolstered his courage and shouted.

"Is that so?"

Ling Chen gave a cold smile and said: "Then let me show you!"

As soon as his voice fell, he condensed a fusion of Divine Soul Telekinesis in his Sea of Consciousness into a great sun, which then shot out from his forehead towards Ding Banxia.

The distance between them was only two to three hundred zhang.

At such a distance, Ding Banxia had no chance to dodge.

And he did not dare to dodge either!
