Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2354: Chapter 2355: Changes

On this particular evening, after running through the forest for a long time, Lin Chen had finally covered half the distance from the distant Qingmu City.

He seemed a bit exhausted, as he hadn’t had much time to rest while running for so long.

He would only stop for a brief rest when his Spiritual Energy was significantly depleted, then continue running forward.

Thus, this pace was not too slow.

”Here you go.”

Lin Chen took out some food from his Storage Ring and handed it to the small white creature beside him.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lin Chen and the small creature lay resting under a tree, his gaze looking towards the far-off setting sun that cast a blood-like light over the forest.

”Though the scenery is beautiful, there’s no fair lady to accompany me!”

Lin Chen unexpectedly sighed. He usually wasn’t a sentimental person, but perhaps he had been influenced by Tang Ming and the others earlier, now feeling somewhat sentimental.

The small white creature ignored him, merely focusing on eating its food. It had been living in this forest for an unknown amount of time. After hearing what Lin Chen said, it slightly raised its head, then paid no more attention.

As Lin Chen looked into the distance, he was also recovering the Spiritual Energy within his body.

After sitting like this for a while, Lin Chen suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

In the distant setting sun, a small black dot suddenly appeared.

The black dot was very small, but extremely dense. It emerged out of nowhere, like a black curtain, obscuring the scattered sunset rays below, and suddenly, darkness quickly descended.

”What is this...”

Lin Chen furrowed his brows tightly. The scene was quite strange, but as peculiar as it was, Lin Chen did not want to be drawn into the excitement too easily.

Wondrous phenomena naturally attract many cultivators to gather, and this seems to have become a sort of rule.

These people differed from those he had encountered in Qingmu City; their strength was far superior to the cultivators there.

After all, cultivators like Jin Ming, who forcibly activate the potential within their bodies, were still few.

Especially those within the sects, they would not use such drugs to forcibly enhance themselves, as this would only dissipate their potential and hinder future progress, making it more harm than benefit.

”Are you full, little one? We should get going.”

Lin Chen’s face grew a bit solemn as he glanced at the small white creature beside him.

At this point, they were within a few hundred miles of the Green Ripple Sect, and he did not want any incidents to occur here.

The small creature chirped softly, seemingly noticing Lin Chen’s tension as well. It gulped down its food in a few large bites, then raised its head and swallowed all the food in its mouth.

”Let’s go.”

Seeing this, Lin Chen quickly said.

...

After running for a stretch, Lin Chen finally arrived within the Green Ripple Sect as night fell. His emotions slightly calmed upon reaching here.

However, after just a few steps, he furrowed his brows again.

Today’s atmosphere in the Green Ripple Sect seemed somewhat different from usual.

The guards who usually stayed hidden in the shadows had all emerged, each holding a weapon with a grim expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Especially when Lin Chen entered the Green Ripple Sect, he was required to show a token to verify his identity—something that never happened before.

”What happened?” Lin Chen murmured quietly, his expression slightly tense. He had a premonition that it might be connected to that black dot.

”The headmaster is not within the sect.” It seemed someone had heard Lin Chen’s words; a shadow, who had not spoken a single word throughout the journey, replied in a slightly hoarse voice.

Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. He refrained from speaking more; now was not the time for explanations. He was quite tense as he hurried toward where Chen Lin was located.

At Chen Lin’s residence, several figures familiar to Lin Chen had gathered. A few women were accompanying Chen Jie, while Sun Tianming stood beside Chen Lin.

Both of their gazes were unified, showing some worry.

”I wonder how Lin Chen is doing now.”

Chen Lin suddenly sighed.

”Oh, he’ll be fine. Fortune favors the prepared. I believe during the medicine quest, he should be alright.” Sun Tianming recalled Lin Chen’s past deeds, where he always managed to turn danger aside, and spoke up.

”I know that, but I’m worried he might recklessly head to that place without being cautious, which would be troublesome...” Chen Lin furrowed his brows.

”Indeed...” Sun Tianming fell silent.

The previous day, disciples dispatched by the Green Ripple Sect mentioned a supernatural phenomenon appearing a hundred miles away, marking the presence of the Magic Sect. In their description, Liu Qinghan guessed it was something orchestrated by Lu Kang.

After thinking it over for a long time, Liu Qinghan decided to take some elders and Pan Su’s disciples to investigate.

But fearing an enemy attack, the situation necessitated security checks when Lin Chen arrived.

”Did something happen again?”

Amidst the solemn contemplation, Lin Chen ascended to the mountaintop residence. His hearing was incredibly sharp, capturing every word of Chen Lin and Sun Tianming’s earlier conversation.

”You’re finally back!”

Seeing this, Chen Lin let out a sigh of relief as he moved forward, the worry in his eyes significantly lessening with Lin Chen’s appearance.

”Big brother Lin!”

Hearing Lin Chen’s voice, Meng Shan and others came forward. Especially Meng Shan, who couldn’t help but embrace Lin Chen’s body, seemingly a bit dependent.

Lin Chen’s face showed warmth as he gently patted Meng Shan’s head. Moments later, he looked up at Chen Lin and asked, ”What happened?”

Chen Lin sighed softly before explaining the situation from beginning to end.

Lin Chen nodded slightly as he listened, realizing that the strange sight he had seen earlier was indeed tightly connected to the Magic Sect.

”It’s good you didn’t head there. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.”

Chen Lin continued, his biggest fear being that Lin Chen would rush there without knowing anything, putting himself in grave danger if the sect members hadn’t arrived yet.

”Speaking of the Magic Sect, they’ve been conspiring by a lake for some days, and it’s all for this.”

Lin Chen said as he took out a longsword he had obtained from that lake from his Storage Ring, its glow flowing and looking extremely chilling.

”This is... Lu Kang’s sword!” Chen Lin, slightly startled, quickly realized what it was.
