Chapter 2178 - 2179: Return of the Demon Sect
"This is..."Lin Chen's gaze turned wary, as he saw on the figure of the monkeys, their entire bodies jet black, the fur that should have been fiery red had turned as black as ink.
The glorious sun in the sky shone down through the hole in the cave, reflecting faintly off the fur of that fire monkey.
This situation was clearly the same as what Sun Tianming had encountered before!
Could it be that demonic sect again? Lin Chen pondered. Just what does this demonic sect want to do?
Wa wa wa.
The few fire monkeys saw this, their faces twisted, clearly sorrowful at the suffering of this fire monkey.
"Big brother, do you have any way?" asked Meng Shan, tugging at Lin Chen's sleeve, her eyes showing a hint of pity.
Lin Chen smiled wryly, originally thinking of exchanging herbs for that Spirit Fruit, as it was indeed rare.
Lin Chen wandered like a headless fly, not knowing when he might find it.
But now, the situation seemed to have clearly exceeded Lin Chen's expectations. The injury on this fire monkey undoubtedly was caused by the demonic sect.
When he himself had been injured, he needed Chen Lin's help, not to mention the spiritual monkey before him.
"This is something beyond our capability to handle."
Lin Chen sighed lightly and shook his head, offering a slight bow of apology to the few fire monkeys in front of him. As for that Spirit Fruit, Lin Chen decided not to take it.
Consider it leaving them a glimmer of hope.
Lin Chen thought so, even though he didn't hold much hope that this Spirit Fruit could save the fire monkey king before him, but at least it was something to hold onto.
After hearing Lin Chen's words, disappointment filled those fire monkeys' eyes, a disappointment as heavy as a thousand pounds, causing them to lower their heads involuntarily.
Lin Chen stepped forward and patted one of them on the shoulder; he too had felt such helplessness before, but the matter before him was simply beyond his ability to resolve.
As for asking Chen Lin's help, that was even more impossible. If Lin Chen was in trouble, the old man might help, but now it was just about a spirit beast, and there were too many trivial matters within the sect; he couldn't spare the time to care for this.
Lin Chen was silent, and after patting the shoulder of the fire monkey, he was prepared to leave the place.
He held Meng Shan's hand, ready to walk toward the cave entrance.
However, just at this moment...
From the cave opening dozens of feet above the platform, a wild laugh echoed out, and with that laughter, a figure gradually grew larger from small.
This caused Lin Chen's step, which was just about to exit the cave, to pause involuntarily, his curious gaze gathering on the silhouette.
The person descended quickly, and after a brief laugh, landed on the platform within a few breaths.
In an instant, the hard stone on the platform was stomped into a deep pit. The figure's knees were slightly bent, a cloud of dust hiding his silhouette.
The few spirit monkeys nearby coughed dryly and retreated a few steps.
After the dust cleared a bit, amidst a tawny scene, the figure gradually became apparent.
A young man wrapped in a black robe, with an ordinary appearance but a maniacal, arrogant expression; he lifted his head slightly, and when his gaze landed on the fire monkey on the platform, it was filled with extreme greed.
Wa wa wa!
A cry of fury erupted from the mouths of the fire monkeys, their eyes wide with anger, evidently provoked by the person before them.
Whizz, whizz, whizz!
With a furious roar, the three spiritual monkeys quickly leapt up, charging at the figure!
Their arms waved, swinging in mid-air as if wielding great hammers, sending ripples of wind that swept away the remaining dust.
"Heh, mere beasts that only understand brute force!"
The figure sneered, undisguised disdain in his tone, and then his figure moved. Amidst shifting shadows, his right hand formed a sword-finger, bending his body low, directly pointing at the armpits of the spirit monkeys!
With one point, the fire monkeys' attack halted instantly, their thick arms dropped to their sides, and from their shoulders, a blood mark appeared, wounded by the attack from the figure's finger.
Blood spurted out, further maddening the spirit monkeys, their eyes turning crimson from the pain, though one hand was incapacitated, unable to exert strength, but the spirit monkeys still had another hand.
They swung the other arm toward the figure, showing no hint of fear.
"Annoying beasts!"
The figure cursed angrily, then kicked out a few times, smashing into the chests of the fire monkeys.
Their rib cages shattered simultaneously with the kicks. The three figures seemed to fly back at the same time, crashing straight into the solid cliff wall behind the platform, creating deep craters!
Such force and speed were evident!
With a series of thuds, they fell from the inlays in the wall to the ground.
Though their bodies couldn't move, their eyes still burned with rage and resentment, crawling with one hand toward the figure.
"Beasts are just beasts." The figure sneered coldly once more.
Suddenly he uttered a soft "oh," his gaze falling abruptly on Lin Chen, who had returned. His eyes moved over Lin Chen, filled with suspicion and surprise.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the demonic sect, right?"
Lin Chen released Meng Shan's hand, allowing her to care for the spirit monkeys behind, while he himself inquired calmly.
The figure was momentarily taken aback, then seemed to recall something, laughing wildly before his tone turned cold, chilling as he said, "You dare to call my Sacred Sect a demonic sect!"
Sacred Sect?
Lin Chen was slightly stunned, then relieved.
It seemed they hadn't fully comprehended their own actions, Lin Chen shook his head, what they were doing hardly deserved the term "sacred."
"And so what if it is? Aren't you persecuted wherever you go and yet shamelessly call yourself sacred?"
Lin Chen retorted disdainfully, as he moved, a surge of Spiritual Energy emanated, last time at the Kaoshan Sect, he nearly lost his life due to them, naturally, he bore no goodwill now.
"Just a mere seventh level of Spirit Refinement practitioner."
The figure sneered again, his tone laden with contempt; he simply could not understand Lin Chen's actions—at such a low level, daring to come forth like a hero?
"Let me show you real power!"
The figure roared, then his full strength erupted, the thick Spiritual Energy reaching the fifth level of Spirit Pill domain!
