Chapter 1645 - 1646: Do You Have a Problem with That?
At that moment, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the stone door.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the stone door.
Earlier, the ones who entered the first and second layers, Qi Xuan and Wang Hui, had already come out,
so now it was certain that the person coming out had to be Lin Chen.
"That kid actually came out." Wang Ming's expression immediately changed.
Not far away, Wang Hui's expression also became serious.
Lin Chen had already broken through the limits time and again; it was certain that if he reached the fifth layer, the benefits he gained would be immeasurable.
He might even receive the legendary celestial book.
Xu Wei was also delighted to see movement at the stone door.
Under the eyes of everyone, the stone door of the Spirit Tower finally opened slowly.
A figure walked out under the dim light.
Under the sunlight, Lin Chen was clearly unaccustomed, squinting his eyes slightly.
At this point, Xu Wei couldn't help but run to Lin Chen.
Like a spoiled child, she pounded Lin Chen with her fists.
"You jerk, didn't I tell you not to go further up? Why didn't you listen?"
Looking at Xu Wei's appearance, Lin Chen felt a warmth in his heart.
From her aggrieved expression and tired look, Lin Chen knew that this girl hadn't rested well these past few days.
Xu Guang also came over.
"Lin Chen, during your time in the Spirit Tower, Xu Wei didn't leave even once."
"Sorry for making you worry." Lin Chen gently brushed Xu Wei's hair with his hand, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Chen.
But soon, these people were somewhat disappointed.
The aura on Lin Chen hadn't significantly improved; he was still at the initial stage of the Immortal King realm.
It seemed that even after reaching the fifth layer, Lin Chen hadn't gained much.
However, Wang Hui squinted his eyes slightly.
For some reason, he felt a dangerous aura on Lin Chen that made him very wary.
This feeling made Wang Hui very uncomfortable.
A month ago, although Lin Chen's aura also made him wary, it was certainly not to this extent.
"Lin Chen, you must have gained a lot in the Spirit Tower this month," Xu Guang smiled and said.
Lin Chen nodded: "Indeed, I gained a lot, but I must thank the Xu family for offering me the spot."
This time out, Lin Chen did not showcase his true strength.
If they knew that he had reached the God Realm in just one month inside the Spirit Tower, it would probably shock the entire Immortal World.
"Haha, we should thank Young Master Lin. If it weren't for you, our Xu family wouldn't have such benefits."
Lin Chen smiled. Although his relationship with the Xu family was primarily cooperative, they still gave him a good impression.
"Lin Chen, are you leaving as soon as you're out of the tower?" Xu Wei asked with some reluctance.
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I still have some matters to attend to, so I must leave immediately."
"How about this? Rest at our Xu family first; leave tomorrow. Xu Wei is a bit reluctant," Xu Guang smiled and said.
"Second Uncle!" Xu Wei blushed and shyly lowered her head.
Seeing the expectation on Xu Wei's face, Lin Chen nodded: "Alright, let's head back to the Xu family together first."
At this moment, Lin Chen's gaze suddenly focused, as he sensed a powerful presence rapidly approaching.
Many others also noticed the black shadow over the sea.
"What a strong aura. I wonder who it is," Xu Guang sighed.
But at this moment, a cold smile appeared on Sun Bai's face.
"Lin Chen, you think you're unbeatable just because you've reached the fifth layer of the Spirit Tower? Let me tell you, today is the day you die."
"What did you say?" Xu Wei's eyes instantly turned cold.
Sun Bai sneered, "You think it's over after killing the Short-legged Tiger? Let me tell you who's coming; it's the Skeleton Sage."
"The Skeleton Sage!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing that name.
Lin Chen's gaze likewise hardened.
He didn't expect the Skeleton Sage to get the news and arrive so quickly.
However, from Sun Bai's sinister look, Lin Chen understood that it was probably due to the Sun family's doing.
Xu Guang's face turned serious: "Damn it, how did that guy get here so fast."
The Skeleton Sage's sudden arrival was clearly directed at Lin Chen.
"Second Uncle, what do we do?" Xu Wei asked worriedly.
Xu Guang took a deep breath: "Lin Chen is a benefactor of the Xu family, and if the Skeleton Sage wants to harm Lin Chen, he'll have to get past us first."
At this moment, Lin Chen looked up at the rapidly approaching figure on the sea, a cold glint in his eyes.
Originally, he didn't intend to stir up trouble, but trouble had found its way to him.
Everyone around looked at Lin Chen with sympathy.
The Skeleton Sage was a well-known figure in the Eastern Spirit Domain.
This guy was extremely protective and unreasonable, ruthless, and merciless; getting involved with such trouble, even though Lin Chen was quite strong, he was definitely no match for the Skeleton Sage.
Lin Chen took a deep breath and said calmly: "Elder Xu, this matter started because of me, let's not involve the Xu family; let it be settled between him and me."
"Young Master Lin, our Xu family is not ungrateful. You have favored us, and now that you're in trouble, how can we stand aside? How would our Xu family find a foothold in the Eastern Spirit Domain if we did?" Xu Guang said in a stern voice.
Seeing Xu Guang determined to stand up for him, Lin Chen's goodwill towards the Xu family increased further.
However, Lin Chen had his own plans for the Skeleton Sage who had come to cause trouble.
Since the opponent was a problem, it might as well be resolved directly.
Having a powerful, sinister enemy lurking in the shadows was not what Lin Chen wanted.
Lin Chen's gaze was fixed on that black shadow.
Soon, the shadow came closer, and a gory aura quickly made the entire Xuanling Island feel very oppressive.
The Skeleton Sage came almost straight to Lin Chen.
His triangular eyes swept over everyone coldly, shouting, "Which little brat killed my apprentice, the Short-legged Tiger? Come out and die."
Hearing that cold voice, everyone's heart chilled.
The aura from the Skeleton Sage terrified everyone.
He had reached the initial stage of the God Realm; this old guy successfully broke through.
Seeing the murderous Skeleton Sage, almost everyone worried for Lin Chen.
With the Skeleton Sage's ruthless tactics, it was impossible for Lin Chen to think of escaping today.
"Alas, that Lin Chen is too reckless, daring to kill the Skeleton Sage's apprentice. It seems he's doomed today."
"What a pity; if he had grown, Lin Chen would definitely be a monstrous talent, but now he is to die at the hands of the Skeleton Sage."
Murmurs arose from the crowd.
"I killed your apprentice; what's it to you?" Suddenly, a cold voice came from Lin Chen's mouth.
