Chapter 244 Is This Hell?

"Master, he may have gone back to Changchun alone, fearing that he would implicate us..."

"So he lied about being in seclusion..." Lin Chen said slowly.

After hearing this, the expressions of several fellow apprentices changed drastically.

Lin Chen comforted him at this time:

"Don't be anxious, no matter what... the master has only left for two days."

"Although I don't know where the master is now...but he will definitely return to Changchun Gate."

"You all stay in the medicine mountain, I will go and bring the master back!" After saying that, Lin Chen was about to summon the magic weapon.

"No!" At this time, Mi Keer grabbed Lin Chen.

"Such a big thing! How can I let you go alone..."

"I'll go with you!"

Following Mi Keer's words, the third senior brother and the younger junior brother also said:

"That's right, senior brother (brother), we will go with you to bring the master back!"

Lin Chen suddenly felt dizzy when he looked at the chattering crowd.

The problem is not that there are just too many people!

This move to retrieve Han Jihai must be completed as soon as possible.

It would be best to find Han Jihai before reaching Changchun Gate.

Moreover, facing the Demon Sect, a few Golden Elixir cultivators would be on the verge of death.

If Mi Keer and others go together, they will only become a burden to Lin Chen.

"Stop making noise!"

At this time, Lin Chen gave a light drink, showing a hint of the coercion of the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The originally noisy room suddenly became quiet.

"Lin, Junior Brother Lin, you..."

The senior sister and third senior brother looked at Lin Chen in shock.

"You...Master Yuanying?"

Looking at the stunned people, Lin Chen smiled bitterly and said:

"Not yet... I have just passed the mana barrier, so I am half a step into the Nascent Soul."

Lin Chen still chose to hide part of his cultivation...

Even so, this information shocked Mi Keer and others.

"How long has it been... how long has it been? Are you almost ready to become a Nascent Soul?"

"A half-step Nascent Soul who is only in his forties...Lin Chen, you won't be able to break through the Nascent Soul stage before you turn fifty, right?"

Mi Keer was the most surprised.

When Lin Chen first joined Changchun Sect, he had not yet entered into cultivation.

At that time, Mi Keer was a monk in the late stage of foundation building.

Now more than twenty years have passed, and Mi Keer's practice is not slow.

But it has only just reached the middle stage of Golden Elixir.

But Lin Chen... had already touched the threshold of Nascent Soul first!

"Junior brother, you are so cruel! You hide it so deeply!" Jing Xiao'a didn't know how to put it right.

Lin Chen said without any trace of ink:

"Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, Junior Brother... no one knows the current situation of Yan Laijing!"

"The Changchun Gate and the Demon Gate may be at war!"

"And I am a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, so I am confident of bringing the master back... But if you follow him, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them all."

"The master will bring you back by then. What should you do if you are in danger?"

Lin Chen analyzed the pros and cons and finally said:

"So, how about you just wait for me at Yaoshan until I bring the master back?"

After saying that, Lin Chen looked at the senior sister closely.

Seeing this, Mi Keer could only nod and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you."

Lin Chen nodded and left the medicine mountain directly without any ink.

After flying hundreds of miles, Lin Chen stopped and sent another message to Jiang Liqian.

"Junior Sister Jiang, I have something to do when I go out this time. Several of the senior brothers in the Medicine Mountain have to ask Junior Sister to take care of them."

Soon, Jiang Liqian responded: "What did senior brother do?"

Lin Chen did not answer, but said: "My senior brothers asked Junior Sister Jiang to take care of them..."

Lin Chen was worried that Mi Keer and the others would sneak away to Changchun Gate, so he reminded them.

After getting Jiang Liqian's promise, Lin Chen summoned the purple jade gourd and flew straight to the north.

…

A few days later, Yan came to the border of the country.

Lin Chen searched the border for a long time, but still found no sign of his master Han Jihai.

"Could it be that... the master hasn't had time to return to Changchun Gate yet?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, feeling that the probability was extremely high.

With Han Jihai's cultivation level at the golden elixir level, he would have to travel for at least half a month to travel 200,000 miles.

It only took Lin Chen less than a week to rush back to Yan Lai.

At this speed, it was still after Lin Chen searched and stopped several times.

It would be faster if we kept rushing towards Changchun Gate.

"According to this time, it will be at least a week before the master arrives at Yan Lai..."

"We can take advantage of this time to find out the information about Fan Yan's arrival."

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's figure changed.

Not long after, Lin Chen transformed into Friday's appearance and rushed towards Yanlai City.

…

An hour later, Yan came to the city.

Lin Chen was walking on the streets of Yanlaicheng, looking at this familiar but unfamiliar city, and his heart was shocked.

"Yan Laicheng...why is it like this?"

The spacious streets were crowded with pedestrians. Even if there were a few pedestrians passing by occasionally, most of them were in a hurry.

Almost every house has its doors and windows closed, looking at people through the cracks in the door.

On the road, livestock offal, rotten vegetable leaves, and even animal feces can be seen everywhere...

The entire Yanlai City, the former prosperous capital of the Yanlai Kingdom, has become a slum.

Lin Chen walked through the gathering place of mortals and walked to Fangshi where the monks were.

However, this small market that once housed thousands of monks is now empty.

On the entire Fangshi street, more than 90% of the shops have been closed. Only one or two shops have not yet closed, but the shop owners are also packing up their belongings in a hurry, as if they want to escape.

"There are more people leaving the city than entering the city..."

Lin Chen murmured.

While he was thinking, the ground suddenly shook.

Boom, boom, boom!

I saw a puff of dust rising in the distance, and dozens of fierce horses came from a distance, charging wantonly on the streets.

Soon, Lin Chen heard a cry for mercy.

"Master, spare me... spare me! I don't have any spiritual stones left..."

An old and frail Qi-refining monk with white beard and hair kept saluting and begging for mercy, his cloudy eyes full of confusion.

In front of him was a girl with braids and who looked to be five or six years old.

He carefully held the old man's thigh, his eyes filled with fear.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

A strong monk wearing armor was furious when he saw this.

After turning over and dismounting, he kicked the old man to the ground.

"Grandpa, grandpa..." The girl burst out crying.

Seeing this, the burly monk's eyes flashed with impatience, and he cursed:

"Little one, if you scold me again, I will send you to the bloody field!"

As soon as she heard the word "bloody field", the girl immediately held her mouth shut, wanting to cry but not daring to cry.

The old man even begged:

"Master, this master... please do a good job and spare our grandfather and grandson..."

"My son and daughter-in-law all went to the bloody field and died..."

Lin Chen stood dozens of feet away, watching this scene clearly, with only silence in his eyes.

He recognized the clothes on this sturdy monk.

It is an army of monks cultivated by Yan Lai Kingdom.

But where is the blood field?

Lin Chen had been away for only five years, and Yan Lai's situation had undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Could it be that... Yudai City has been lost and the Demon Sect has invaded Yanlai City?"

Lin Chen frowned.

According to what Jiang Liqian said, the Demon Sect launched an attack on Yan Laijing.

It was just more than half a month ago...

With the background of the monks in Yan Lai, plus the Changchun Gate.

It’s not like you can’t hold on for even half a month, right?

But the facts before him told Lin Chen that Yan Lai's realm... had changed!

The five senses of monks are extremely sharp.

Especially Nascent Soul cultivators, as long as they listen carefully, they can clearly distinguish the source of every sound within hundreds of feet.

"Master Jun, please spare my life! This is the only grandchild in my family..."

"Damn old thing!"

Another burst of noise came from another alley.

Lin Chen heard the sound of an old mortal man falling to the ground, and his breath was quickly disappearing.

"Uuu~ Dad, A-hua was taken away...my A-hua..."

Lin Chen heard again, a half-year-old girl squatting at the door of her house crying.

The Ahua in her mouth is a hen.

The monk army even spared mortals and livestock...

There were sounds of looting and smashing in all directions.

Those who ran slowly were caught on the spot.

If you encounter a mortal who resists, beating is just a trivial matter...

What's more, some were tied to their necks by reins and dragged to death by fierce horses.

Lin Chen just stood in the middle of the intersection in the alley.

No one noticed him.

But in just a few dozen breaths, Lin Chen witnessed at least ten tragedies.

Families are broken up, wives and children are separated, white-haired people give away black-haired people...

Lin Chen had just returned from the peaceful Daocheng, and Lin Chen was still not used to it all.

He looked around, with only one thought in his mind.

"Is this hell?"

And among all the voices, the one that was mentioned the most was only two words.

Bloody field.

"So, what exactly is this so-called blood field?"

"Why did Yan Laicheng become like this?"

"Then... what has become of Changchun Gate now?"

Lin Chen had no time to think.

Because he saw the sturdy Qi Refining monk raising his whip towards the girl with braids.

If this whip hits a five or six-year-old girl, even if she does not die, she may be left with a lifelong disability.

"Nanny..."

The old man in the Qi refining stage looked desperate, desperately trying to mobilize the last bit of true energy in his body.

Want to prevent this from happening.

But he is too old.

Lin Chen was so old that he could hardly feel his vitality, and he was so old that he couldn't even activate a trace of mana.

At this moment, he was stepped on by a monk in official uniform and kicked repeatedly.

Blood bubbles kept coming out of the old man's eyes and mouth.

But the monk in official uniform still had a sinister smile on his face.

"Haha, what a dead thing! It's useless when it's old... Stop wasting resources!"

In the old man's desperate eyes, the riding crop was getting closer and closer to the girl's head.

Lin Chen had no doubt that this whip could knock the girl's head off directly.

However……

Just when the riding whip was about to fall, a pair of hands held it tightly.

The monk in official uniform didn't hear the expected scream, and the smile on his face faded.

When he saw the tall figure blocking him, his eyes were filled with confusion and anger.

"You, who are you!"

"Yan Lai is doing something for the royal family, and you dare to stop him?"

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this, "Can you represent Yan to the royal family?"

After hearing this, the monk in official uniform thought that Lin Chen was afraid, and smiled ferociously.

"Those who know the truth, get out of here!"

"Wait, I see you have some cultivation... Hahaha, catch him! I want him to go to the bloody field!"

In the blink of an eye, dozens of monks in official uniforms surrounded Lin Chen.
