Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1089: Shen Bingxin

”Desolate Fire City? Never heard of it.”

Ling Chen shook his head.

It seemed the other party had mistaken him for a disciple of a certain Sect.

”Stop pretending. You must be from Desolate Fire City! Elder Sister Lin, stop wasting time with him; let’s all charge together. I don’t believe we can’t take him down!”

The effeminate young man’s eyes were filled with intense malice as he shouted loudly.

”Is there any need for this? I am not your enemy. I merely have pursuers behind me and wished to borrow your Sect’s grounds to hide for a while.”

Ling Chen glanced at the effeminate young man, then turned his gaze to the gentle woman, smiling lightly as he spoke.

”Pursuers?”

The gentle woman was taken aback. As she was about to ask, two whooshing sounds suddenly echoed from the sky behind her. Two figures exuding extremely powerful auras abruptly halted in mid-air.

”Little brat! Where else do you think you can run?”

The gray-robed elder glared sinisterly at Ling Chen, but quickly noticed the gentle woman and the others, a hint of suspicion flickering in his eyes.

Judging by their attire, are these Sect Disciples?

What is the relationship between these Sect Disciples and Ling Chen? Could it be that this kid has formed some connection with them?

”This person is actually being hunted down by two Great Saints?”

The gentle woman was shocked. The pursuers Ling Chen mentioned earlier turned out to be these two Saints?

This guy, being chased by two Saints, can actually manage to run away?

”Old guy, you really have a big life. Even that explosion didn’t kill you. Are you a cockroach?”

Ling Chen’s lips curled into a mocking smile.

”You little brat, how dare you speak!”

The gray-robed elder’s eyes shot out with killing intent. Ling Chen’s words only fueled his desire to tear Ling Chen apart immediately.

”Who exactly is this person?”

Seeing the gray-robed elder’s infuriated expression, the gentle woman couldn’t help but open her mouth wide. It seemed the gray-robed elder suffered a significant loss at Ling Chen’s hands? With his strength, how is that possible?

The effeminate young man noticed the deep hatred between Ling Chen and the gray-robed elder, and his eyes flickered. He quickly shouted, ”Honored elders! This boy intruded on Lingyue Island for no reason. We have no association with him. If you two need assistance, our Lingyue Island can even help, lending you a hand!”

”Oh?”

Upon hearing this, the gray-robed elder’s eyes lit up. Realizing Ling Chen had no ties to the Sect Disciples, things became much simpler. After all, this boy had offended too many people and was a target wherever he went.

”Lingyue Island, you say your Sect is called Lingyue Island?”

Ling Chen’s eyes slightly brightened.

”So, have you realized now that you’ve provoked a force you can’t afford to offend?”

The effeminate young man sneered, thinking that upon hearing Lingyue Island’s name, Ling Chen might finally be afraid.

However, Ling Chen ignored him entirely, his gaze fixed on the gentle woman as he smiled and said, ”In that case, I do have some connection with your Lingyue Island. Do you perhaps have an Elder named Shen Bingxin?”

”You brazen scoundrel! How dare you address our Second Elder by name!”

The effeminate young man’s expression changed drastically, furiously scolding him.

”Second Elder? So Elder Shen Bingxin is Lingyue Island’s Second Elder.”

Ling Chen murmured to himself.

He clearly remembered what the Red Sky Sword Saint had told him — if ever in trouble, carry the Red Sky Sword to Lingyue Island in Yangzhou and seek out a woman named Shen Bingxin.

Unexpectedly, he encountered these Lingyue Island people at this critical moment.

”Wait, who exactly are you, and how do you know our Second Elder’s name?”

The gentle woman was somewhat surprised. The name of the Second Elder was only known to core disciples of Lingyue Island. Even they knew it because they belonged to the Second Elder’s faction and interacted with her frequently. How could an outsider like Ling Chen know it?

”Elder Sister Lin, who cares how he knows? This person has ulterior motives. He must have inquired in advance. This person’s words can’t be trusted. Don’t be deceived by him!”

The effeminate young man, fearing that the gentle woman might be swayed by Ling Chen, quickly shouted, ”He wants us to shield him from disaster. We can’t fall for his trick!”

Hearing this, the gentle woman frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, she looked at Ling Chen, ”This matter is between the three of you and has nothing to do with Lingyue Island. Please leave our land at once, otherwise, don’t blame us for being impolite.”

”Ling Chen, let’s see where you can run this time. Surrender and face your fate!”

The gray-robed elder grinned menacingly. Ling Chen was now stuck in a difficult position. Lingyue Island rejected him, leaving him no place to hide. Once he steps out, he becomes prey for the gray-robed elder and the ’Capture God.’”

”Ling Chen? The first of the Heavenly Sword tournament, claimed as the greatest young genius of the Nine Provinces?”

The gentle woman was secretly astonished. She had heard this name often lately. Even though Sect Disciples often scoff at so-called geniuses from the outside world, they were aware that Ling Chen was a rare genius from the Central Dynasty in centuries. Even they could not dismiss him.

”I didn’t expect him to be Ling Chen. Junior Brother, it seems you lost to him without shame.”

The gentle woman looked at the effeminate young man beside her.

However, the young man felt no consolation in her words. His eyes remained cold, his hatred for Ling Chen unabated.

”Well, since you don’t welcome me, Miss, I shouldn’t linger here.”

Ling Chen sighed as if he was about to leave. But just when they thought he was departing from Lingyue Island, he suddenly accelerated, darting deeper into the heart of Lingyue Island with astonishing speed.

”You!”

Seeing Ling Chen suddenly dart deeper into Lingyue Island, the gentle woman was momentarily stunned. Her face then darkened. This guy was playing games with them!

”This kid intruded first. We two will assist your Sect in catching him. Excuse us!”

As Ling Chen changed direction towards Lingyue Island’s depths, two whistling sounds echoed. The gray-robed elder and the ’Capture God’ followed suit, shooting towards the heart of Lingyue Island.

”Quick, chase them!”

The gentle woman stomped her foot and immediately followed. Letting three outsiders into the Sect without oversight would surely lead to chaos.

They must report this matter to the Sect’s higher-ups immediately!
