Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2266: Chapter 2267: Escape

This was precisely the reason for Liu Qinghan’s hesitation.

Because of the previous Demonic Sect incident, the Sect was already short on manpower, and with the Demonic Sect lurking in the dark, occasionally sending people out to harass the subordinate sects around them, all of this needed people to be dispatched to eliminate the troubles.

If they lost a few more, it would be no small blow to the Green Ripple Sect.

”Fine, I agree.”

After Lu Kang said that, Liu Qinghan finally made his decision.

Although he didn’t know why Lu Kang needed the two of them, no matter the reason, these two were not worth exchanging for the lives of several elders.

”Sect Master...”

Chen Jie was torn inside. She looked at Chen Lin inside for a moment, then at Lin Chen outside, struggle showing in her eyes, making her bite down hard on her lips.

Inside was her father, outside was Lin Chen. Faced with the Sect Master’s decision, she was momentarily at a loss, only staring blankly.

Liu Qinghan walked lightly up to Lin Chen. His hand moved as a flow of green aura circulated over his palm, bathing down from the top of Lin Chen’s head. Lin Chen’s entire body was enveloped in a band of green light.

Immersed in healing, Lin Chen sensed this unusual power. The broken meridians in his body rapidly recovered under the effect of this Spiritual Energy, especially the palm of his hand, which was visibly re-forming at a speed discernible to the naked eye!

”Someone’s helping me!”

Lin Chen’s consciousness sank, and he couldn’t help feeling delighted. Originally his injuries would have taken quite a long time to heal. But under this Spiritual Energy, the speed increased dramatically.

...

After this round of treatment, Lin Chen opened his eyes and immediately let out a turbid breath, his expression relaxed.

”Many thanks, Sect Master.”

Seeing Liu Qinghan by his side, Lin Chen stood up and cupped his hands in thanks, while inwardly marveling at Liu Qinghan’s profound cultivation.

”It’s nothing,” Liu Qinghan said softly, his expression somewhat complicated, letting out a faint sigh.

Lin Chen couldn’t make heads or tails of it. He looked toward Chen Jie, only to see her gaze dodging, which made him even more surprised.

”What’s going on?” Lin Chen scratched his head.

”Let’s go, what are you still standing out here for?”

The happiest one here was Tao Yuyu. He had already walked over from Pan Su’s side.

Since his identity was already exposed, Tao Yuyu couldn’t even be bothered to keep pretending. He broke free of Pan Su’s grip and strode forward at an unhurried pace, not caring in the slightest about Pan Su behind him, whose mouth opened and closed without saying a word.

Lin Chen frowned as he looked at Tao Yuyu, the surprise in his eyes growing stronger.

Tao Yuyu should be a criminal of the Green Ripple Sect, so how was he now...

”Lin Chen...”

While his gaze was full of doubt, Chen Jie walked up. She first sighed lightly, then mustered her courage, fixing her eyes on Lin Chen’s deep, water-like gaze, and parted her lips to explain to him.

...

”So what you’re saying is, I’ve become the sacrificial lamb?”

”You can understand it that way.”

Liu Qinghan and Chen Jie didn’t speak; instead Tao Yuyu cheerfully picked up the thread.

Lin Chen completely ignored him. He looked at the two before him, then at Chen Lin inside, whose face was haggard with exhaustion, then he shook his head and said, ”It’s human nature. Besides, Chen Lin has shown me kindness.”

As he spoke, Lin Chen stepped forward.

This was the best solution. If Lin Chen himself had to choose, he might have chosen the same.

From a high position, many things had to be decided from the perspective of the bigger picture. As for Chen Jie...her concern for her own father was understandable.

As he moved, Liu Qinghan also followed. As he did, he nodded toward Guo Zhi and the elder at his side.

When they reached the mirror surface, Liu Qinghan raised a hand to stop them.

”Let them out,” Liu Qinghan mouthed.

Lu Kang’s face was full of disdain. He let several elders, under Liu Qinghan’s signal, walk forward.

The shadows of people on the two sides faced each other, separated only by a smooth mirror surface.

At the same time, Guo Zhi and his disciple also walked up. With their overlapping, unique Formations, ripples rose within the barrier there. As the ripples spread, Chen Lin and the others stepped out toward the outside world.

Their faces were somewhat ugly, but faced with the Sect Master’s decision, they offered no opposition.

And as they walked out, Lin Chen and Tao Yuyu also walked into the inner area.

Seeing Lin Chen enter, Lu Kang’s expression revealed a faint smile.

The sacred pearl he sought was in Lin Chen’s hands, and since Tao Yuyu had previously said he could get him out, now that they were outside, it should be doable. With the two of them together, how could Lu Kang not be pleased.

So when the exit opened before him, Lu Kang made no other move, merely waiting quietly.

Tao Yuyu also secretly relaxed. His left hand tightly gripped a bone token, his palm clenched firmly around it. On that bone token, a teleportation Array was inscribed—a thing only high-ranking Demonic Sect disciples possessed.

Tao Yuyu had been undercover here for several years and inevitably worried about being discovered, so long ago he had already carved markers several hundred li away from the Green Ripple Sect. As long as the Array on the token was activated, they could immediately escape this place.

He hadn’t used it earlier only because all those elders and Liu Qinghan had been present, and he feared they would disrupt their teleportation.

But inside the Soul-Locking Formation, the outside aura was cut off—this was a chance.

”Go!”

Just as his figure stepped into the hall, his hand tightened. The green bead on the bone token suddenly shattered, and with the explosion, a torrent of extremely dense Spiritual Energy surged up, flowing along the engraved lines on the bone token, exhaling a powerful aura.

Then a beam of light enveloped the area, covering Lu Kang and Lin Chen not far away. Their figures were quickly swallowed by the light, and in less than an instant, a column of white light shot toward the sky!

Liu Qinghan’s face hardened, Qi Force already swirling in his hand. What he had been waiting for was precisely the moment when the elders exited and Lin Chen and Tao Yushou entered, so he could charge in while they were off guard.

But Liu Qinghan had never expected Tao Yuyu to have a teleportation Array on him. This sudden turn of events caught him completely off guard; he was delayed for just an instant.

”Jie’er!”

At that moment, a heart-wrenching shout rang out from behind—Chen Lin’s voice.

Liu Qinghan was just about to act when a slim figure brushed past his side, plunging into the light and entering the hall in an instant.

It was Chen Jie’s silhouette.

As she entered, the white light was already fading. That last remnant of light carried Chen Jie’s body, as if in pursuit, following after the figures of Lin Chen and the others.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

Liu Qinghan’s expression grew even darker. The hand he had reached out could only stiltedly draw back, and on the hall floor before him, there was already nothing but emptiness.
