Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 597 Lin Chen's Moved

The closer you get to the Jade Tablet of Creation, the greater your chance of gaining enlightenment.

There are thirty prayer cushions, arranged in a front and back pattern.

There were twenty people present, not counting the disciples of the Creation Sect. This meant that there were thirty prayer mats, almost one for each person. If you wanted a spot near the front, you would have to compete with others.

At this moment, many people looked at Lin Chen with amusement in their eyes.

With Lin Chen's current level of spiritual power, he naturally sensed several malicious gazes, but he didn't make a sound. He simply silently memorized the appearances of these people.

After He Chuanqiao said those words, the many geniuses present lost their previous arrogance and began to talk among themselves more.

Everyone knows that to seize a leading position, unless one has the strength to overwhelm everyone else, the only option is to cooperate.

As for who to collaborate with and how to collaborate, that naturally requires discussion.

The banquet began to turn into small groups, and even Jiang Yunqi and Jiang Ang had people come over to chat with them, but no one came over to Lin Chen. Everyone seemed to have automatically ignored him.

After a long while, Jiang Yunqi returned with some apology and said to Lin Chen, "Brother Lin, I have some friends over there who have made plans, so I'll head over first."

Clearly, Jiang Yunqi had formed a partnership with the others present.

As for why they didn't choose to cooperate with Lin Chen...

Lin Chen understood that no one else present wanted to cooperate with him. He Chuanqiao was the host, so naturally he didn't need to. That left Jiang Ang, who hadn't yet expressed his opinion.

Compared to other alliances with four or five members, their side had far too few people.

However, Lin Chen didn't blame Jiang Yunqi. Jiang Yunqi had already shown him goodwill. Everyone had come all the way to the Creation Sect not to make friends, but for the Creation Jade Tablet. Naturally, they hoped to comprehend the Creation Jade Tablet.

"Brother Jiang, over here?"

After Jiang Yunqi left, Lin Chen looked at Jiang Ang, who waved his hand and said, "You have done my Starfall Heavenly Palace a favor. If you don't mind, we can look after each other tomorrow."

For Jiang Ang, comprehending the Creation Jade Tablet was indeed important, but the sect leader and the Supreme Elder had both instructed him that Lin Chen was the sect's benefactor, and as a disciple of the sect's most outstanding talent, how could he abandon Lin Chen and cooperate with others?
As for why none of the people present came to find Lin Chen, he knew very well that the Canglan Sect had chosen to admit defeat in the battle with the Bahuang Sect, losing half of its territory, and would inevitably decline in the future.

At the same time, Lin Chen offended the royal family and Young Master Dongfang. In their eyes, Lin Chen's future was bleak, and they did not want to cooperate with him to avoid misunderstandings from the royal family and Young Master Dongfang.

Otherwise, given Lin Chen's demonstrated strength in the Tower of Babel, he would definitely be one of the best among everyone present, and no one would be unwilling to have such a powerful partner.

"it is good."

Although he knew he didn't need to cooperate with others, Lin Chen didn't refuse Jiang Ang's offer since he was willing.

However, just as the two finished their conversation, a disdainful sneer rang out from the scene.

"Brother Jiang, you should think this through carefully. No matter how strong a person is, there are limits to their abilities."

The voice came from a young man on the left, with five other people standing beside him.

Looking at the other person's attire, Lin Chen knew why this person had suddenly started to mock him; this was a martial artist from the Eight Desolations Sect.

The feud between the Canglan Sect and the Bahuang Sect is well-known and needs no further explanation.

Many other people at the scene were also watching Lin Chen and Zhang Yi of the Eight Desolations Sect with expressions of anticipation, and some even hoped that the two would start fighting on the spot.

The more intense the competition, the better, because that would mean two fewer competitors tomorrow.

"My choices are none of anyone else's business." Jiang Ang responded coldly before Lin Chen could even reply to Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi was taken aback. He hadn't expected Jiang Ang to take such an attitude, so blatantly disregarding his feelings. This was also a naked declaration to everyone that Jiang Ang supported Lin Chen. Could it be that Jiang Ang wasn't afraid of offending the royal family and Young Master Dongfang, or being blamed by the sect's higher-ups?

Many people at the scene also looked puzzled by Jiang Ang's attitude. They couldn't understand why Jiang Ang would support Lin Chen so strongly.
Sect relations?

The Starfall Palace and the Canglan Sect are far apart, and the two sects have no connection whatsoever, let alone these two individuals.

Personal appreciation?

After Lin Chen offended the royal family and Young Master Dongfang, even if they admired Lin Chen, they had to consider whether their behavior would bring trouble to the sect.

Given their status, their every move is often interpreted as the sect's attitude.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Yi's gaze fell on Lin Chen, a mocking smile on his face: "What's wrong? The Canglan Sect has already chosen to admit defeat and give up half of its territory. You, a disciple of the Canglan Sect, are you not hiding in Canglan City? Do you still have the face to walk around outside?"

Zhang Yi's words were naturally meant to mock Lin Chen. Ever since Lin Chen joined the Canglan Sect, he had repeatedly caused the Eight Desolate Sect to suffer setbacks, and even affected the morale of the warriors on the battlefield. The entire Eight Desolate Sect was filled with killing intent towards Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen's strength was increasing faster and faster, and he had never appeared on the battlefield, so even if you wanted to kill Lin Chen, you couldn't find an opportunity.

Fortunately, Lin Chen's strength could not change the course of the battle, and the Canglan Sect ultimately chose to concede defeat.

For the disciples of the Eight Desolations Sect, the Canglan Sect's surrender was the most exhilarating thing. The two sects had fought many times, and this was the first time that the Canglan Sect had to admit defeat.

Therefore, Zhang Yi felt a great sense of superiority when facing Lin Chen.

What good is high potential?
If the sect behind you is not powerful, you will have no support and no confidence when you travel outside.

This time, Canglan Sect conceded defeat, losing half of its territory. According to the rules, Canglan Sect's Myriad Manifestation Realm warriors are not allowed to leave the territory for a hundred years. This means that if a Myriad Manifestation Realm expert targets Lin Chen, the Canglan Sect's Myriad Manifestation Realm expert will have no chance to come to his rescue.

Give up?

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he quickly glanced at the expressions of the others present. His heart skipped a beat, confirming that Zhang Yi was not lying.

Therefore, what Elder Teng was keeping from me was the fact that the sect had admitted defeat.

But he couldn't understand why the sect would admit defeat.

Although we are at a disadvantage on the battlefield, if the war continues as it is, we will not lose half of our territory even if we fight for another ten years.

Why did the Supreme Elders choose to admit defeat?

Could it be?

The next moment, Lin Chen recalled the words of that Vice Sect Master Liang from back then...

The sect paid a huge price to secure a spot, including this Creation Jade Tablet...

A thought that moved Lin Chen formed in his mind.

Could it be that the Supreme Elders are doing this so that they can use all the resources on themselves?
Elder Teng didn't tell me because he was afraid that I would be under too much pressure if I knew?
In an instant, Lin Chen understood Elder Teng's evasive behavior.

"What's wrong? Nobody dares to respond to me anymore?"

Seeing Lin Chen remain silent, Zhang Yi continued to speak. Lin Chen coldly glanced at him and said, "Why bother with words? If you're hostile towards me, then let's fight."

Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhang Yi fell silent. He truly wasn't confident he could face Lin Chen alone.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can be so arrogant. We'll find out tomorrow!"
