Chen Lin tapped his fingers on the table, thinking deeply about whether to leave temporarily.
Chu Chengyang is the head disciple and is quite popular. Once the Chihuo Sect discovers his death, they will definitely investigate in detail.
He even doubted whether the head of the Red Fire Sect would be worried about leaks about the shipbuilding and run away in advance.
Although it is no secret that major sects secretly build sea crossing ships, it has not been made public yet.
The Chihuo Sect is just a foundation-building sect without the support of Jindan Zhenren. If some big force wants to take away the built sea-crossing boat, it will be a wedding dress for others in vain.
After deliberation for a while, Chen Lin felt that it was still unlikely that Chihuomen would run away immediately.
The final decisive battle between the Alliance and the God of Prayer Sect has not yet begun. To run away now is to be a deserter. The scattered cultivators will just run away. A medium-sized sect fled as a whole, and even kidnapped several of the Alliance's guarding cultivators. The Alliance
It is impossible to tolerate it. In order to kill chickens and scare monkeys, we have to hunt them down.
Unless the leader of the Red Fire Sect is a fool, he would not do that.
In addition, at this critical moment, the other party's investigation of Chu Chengyang's disappearance will not cause too much trouble, so as not to attract the attention of powerful people.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
There is no golden elixir in the Red Fire Sect. Although it would be a bit dangerous to continue to pretend to be a mortal in the city, it is still within the controllable range. Even if he is discovered, with the many escape methods he has prepared, there should not be much problem in saving his life.
After that, he lived in seclusion, only occasionally going out of the city to check what was going on at the Red Fire Gate.
Sure enough, the monks from Chihuo Sect have been coming in and out more frequently these days, and they must have discovered that Chu Chengyang was missing.
Within a few days, several tyrannical consciousnesses swept through the city without restraint, but none of them could see through his breath-containing technique.
Even so, Chen Lin hid deeper and stayed behind closed doors until he calmed down before reappearing.
Ten days later.
After investigation, Chen Lin came out again after discovering that Chihuo Gate had ceased operations.
After wandering around for a while, I saw a familiar figure appear.
He followed immediately.
After turning two streets and coming to a hidden place, he used the ecstasy technique to stun the opponent.
After dragging him to a dead end, a white light hit the opponent's eyebrows and asked: "What's your name?"
"Zhoushan."
The young man replied with his eyes blank.
Chen Lin nodded. It seemed that this enchantment technique had a good effect on monks who were in the early stage of Qi training. The other party gave the same answer twice and was not lying.
"Have there been any special changes in your Chihuo Sect recently?"
Chen Lin continued to ask.
"Yes, the head disciple, Senior Brother Chu Chengyang, was killed, and Senior Sister Zheng from the outer sect also disappeared."
Zhou Shan answered mechanically.
"How can you be sure that the head disciple was killed?"
Chen Lin was a little surprised. He had cleaned up the scene at that time, and it was in the wilderness and the location was hidden, so no one should have discovered him.
Zhou Shan immediately replied: "The core disciples and elders of the sect have soul lamps. Senior Brother Chu's soul lamp has gone out."
Soul lamp?
Chen Lin was stunned.
The soul lamp is to separate a piece of one's own soul and store it on a special magic weapon. If the main body's soul dissipates, the soul lamp will also be extinguished.
Because the magical artifacts that store divided souls are expensive and require dedicated personnel to guard and maintain them, they are usually only installed in large sects. Unexpectedly, there are also foundation-building sects such as Chihuo Sect.
As expected of a weapon-refining sect, the family is rich.
"Besides this matter, are there any other changes?"
Before Chen Lin was about to end the questioning, he asked again casually.
I already asked the other party last time, but I probably couldn't get out any useful information.
"have."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Shan said with certainty.
Chen Lin asked in confusion: "What's the change?"
Zhou Shan mechanically said: "The war has begun. The sect will activate the mountain protection formation tomorrow. We will not be able to get out from now on."
The war has begun?
Chen Lin was shocked.
Because he had been hiding in the inn and had no contact with other monks, he didn't know about such a big thing!
"When did the war start and how was it going?"
Chen Lin asked eagerly, but the other party shook his head and did not know the specific situation.
After asking for a while, and seeing that he really couldn't find anything out, he sent the person back to his original position.
Zhou Shan woke up from his ecstasy.
He frowned and muttered: "What's going on? Why am I always confused lately? Could it be that there are too many girls from Yihong Tower? I just happened to take a break while the mountain gate was closed, but I don't know if the war will come here.
well!"
Zhou Shan sighed, frowning a little, obviously worried about the war.
But in the early stages of his Qi training, it was useless to worry or not. He thought about it for a while, and after thinking for a while, he made sure that he could not remember what had just happened, and then left quickly.
Chen Lin kept watching from a distance, waiting for the other party's figure to disappear before continuing to wander around the city.
Since the Crimson Fire Sect will close its gate tomorrow, many disciples will definitely come out to deal with trivial matters today. We need to grab two more to confirm each other's information.
Sure enough, after a while, he met one. Chen Lin followed suit and used the enchantment technique to question him.
This person is not much different from what Zhou Shan knows, and there is no useful information.
Then he met two more people, but these two were in the late stage of Qi training. Although they definitely knew more information than those in the early stage of Qi training, he did not take action.
The effect of ecstasy on the later stage of Qi training is limited, and if there are enough methods in the later stage of Qi training, it is already possible to escape from the Foundation Establishment monk, not to mention that the opponent is still two people.
Suppressing the adventurous impulse in my heart, I wandered around for a while, and finally met a woman who was in the middle stage of Qi training.
Chen Lin's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this woman.
This person was Huang Yiyi, the daughter of the Huang family who wanted to marry Chu Chengyang. From Chu Chengyang's memory, we learned that this woman had an ordinary family background, but she was a genius in weapon refining and was worshiped by the great elder Zhou Jiutong.
Tang Jingyuan, the head of the Red Fire Sect, was at odds with Zhou Jiutong. In order not to affect the retreat plan, the foundation-building monks guarding the place arranged a marriage between Chu Chengyang and Huang Yiyi to ease the relationship.
As the other party's identity, he must know some inside information.
Chen Lin secretly followed him until he reached a remote alley.
Suddenly, Huang Yiyi stopped, turned to look at Chen Lin, bowed nervously, and said: "Junior Huang Yiyi has met my senior!"
When Chen Lin got down from the other party's station, he already knew that the other party had discovered him.
However, he only thought that the other party had strong senses and discovered that he was following him. Unexpectedly, he actually directly exposed his identity as a foundation-building monk!
Chen Lin's expression was cold, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Even if he is a person with a bottom line, if it concerns his own safety, he will not be pedantic and stick to the rules.
"Senior, this junior has no intention of revealing senior, and I don't want to know senior's identity. I just want to ask senior for help with something. As long as senior agrees, if senior wants to get anything from the Red Fire Sect, junior will do his best to help!"
Feeling the murderous aura on Chen Lin's body, Huang Yiyi hurriedly spoke again.
A strange color flashed in Chen Lin's eyes, and the red light that appeared on his palm slowly disappeared. Then he suddenly raised his hand and cast a spell, causing the opponent to faint.
He took out a large package from his storage bag and stuffed his petite body into it.
Then, he lifted the package and put it on his shoulders, like carrying goods, rented a carriage in Chen Nei, and headed straight out of the city.
