Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3716 - 3735: Two Ways to Cook a Chicken

"When we arrive, quietly find out who from the Black Emperor Palace is there and check if Zhao Tianjue is present."

"Okay!"

Huo Lingshuang said solemnly, "I’ve already instructed everyone not to disclose your information."

Lin Chen said with a bitter smile, "If he’s determined to find me, it won’t be easy to hide."

Huo Lingshuang, familiar with Lin Chen’s character, lowered her voice and asked, "Are you planning to eliminate Zhao Tianjue?"

Lin Chen nodded, then recounted the grievances between the Chen Ancestor and Bo Qiu, and the incident where Zhao Tianjue had tricked their group into stealing the Tao Spirit from Qianye Elder’s son.

"He knows too much. If it doesn’t concern the Heaven Deities, I could ignore him, but if the Heaven Deities find out, it will be trouble."

Huo Lingshuang’s expression turned serious, "Then he is indeed a security risk, liable to explode at any moment. However, Zhao Tianjue’s strength likely isn’t low, and even with others helping you, silently getting rid of him without a trace isn’t easy."

Lin Chen replied, "I’ll have to give it a try. If he gets the information out, it’ll be difficult to handle and may even implicate the Heavenly Crane Sect."

Huo Lingshuang asked in a low voice, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You don’t need to act. Just help me gather information."

After a moment’s thought, Lin Chen made a decision, "We still have some time before reaching the Qinghuo Sect. You and I should head to the Qinghuo Sect first to scout in secret. Otherwise, if our sect arrives, it might draw more attention."

"Alright, I’ll follow your lead."

Lin Chen and Huo Lingshuang left the giant ship, sped up, and arrived at the Qinghuo Sect several days early.

Outside the Qinghuo Sect, there was already a vast crowd, with various giant ships and demonic beasts interweaving in the air, creating an imposing atmosphere.

Huo Lingshuang took a tour, gathering information everywhere.

The massive ship of the Black Emperor Palace, like a fortress, had already arrived. After some investigation, Huo Lingshuang obtained concrete news.

"Zhao Tianjue has really arrived!"

Lin Chen’s eyes were cold, "How many people did the Black Emperor Palace bring and how strong are they?"

Huo Lingshuang replied, "The team is led by Vice Palace Master Liu Xian, and there are about seven to eight Saints along with a large number of sect internal disciples."

Huo Lingshuang paused for a moment and warned, "By the way, this Liu Xian is very strong, not much weaker than the Black Emperor Palace Lord, and he had opportunities in his youth, possessing the Star Chart Spirit. If you’re planning to deal with Zhao Tianjue, you have to be careful; reinforcements might suddenly arrive."

Lin Chen sat up straight again.

"Liu Xian has the Star Chart Spirit?"

Huo Lingshuang nodded, "Yes, everyone knows this, and Liu Xian himself is very strong, considered top-level strength. Even among all the Saints in the Heavenly God Realm, he ranks at the top."

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly brightened.

Star Chart Spirit?

The Star Chart Spirit is great!

Previously, I was thinking about where to get a Star Chart Spirit, and now here it comes!

Lin Chen suddenly had a bold idea. Since I have to deal with Zhao Tianjue anyway, why not take care of Liu Xian as well?

One plan solves two problems.

Eliminate Zhao Tianjue, and no one else will know my past secrets.

Eliminate Liu Xian, capture the Star Chart Spirit, and once the Creation God tames it, with the ability of Star Sky Jump, I’ll have the confidence to challenge many Heaven Deities.

This requires thorough planning.

If executed smoothly, things will be easier afterward.

But there is also a huge risk; if it fails and gets exposed, I might have to flee for my life.

"The Heaven Deity hasn’t arrived yet, right?"

Huo Lingshuang replied, "The Heaven Deity wouldn’t descend so early. Only on the day of the celebration, after the proceedings, will people request the Heaven Deity’s descent, and then the Heaven Deity will truly arrive."

Lin Chen understood upon hearing this, knowing that as a Heaven Deity, how could they arrive early and wait for everyone? Important people have to be the finale, only appearing once everyone is gathered.

Since the Heaven Deity hasn’t come, it makes things easier.

"Where are the people from the Black Emperor Palace located? Is it easy to approach them?"

Huo Lingshuang replied, "There are too many people here for the celebration; the sect couldn’t accommodate them all, so they built a new reception area outside the sect which is quite accessible."

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s good, you don’t need to worry about the rest; I’ll handle it myself."

Huo Lingshuang blinked, "Are you sure you don’t need my help?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The more people, the easier it is to make mistakes, and you’ve only recently been promoted to a Saint. You might not be of much help in the battle, and if they target you, I’ll have to divert my attention to save you."

Huo Lingshuang pouted slightly, "Although you’re speaking truthfully, it still stings a little."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You go inside Linglong Tower and wait. Once everything is done, we’ll return to the ship, and this whole affair will have nothing to do with us."

"Okay!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Outside the Qingshui Sect, the crowd was immense, bustling and lively.

Lin Chen settled a Jade Slip, then found a roaming Loose Cultivator.

"One thousand Divine Crystals to deliver a message for me, okay?"

The man curiously sized up Lin Chen, but Lin Chen’s face was covered by a mask, making it impossible to see clearly.

"Deliver it to whom?"

Lin Chen pointed to the distant reception villa group, "To the Black Emperor Palace, Elder Zhao Tianjue. Remember, you must personally hand over the Jade Slip. If they don’t let you in, mention Zhao Muran; they won’t stop you."

"Alright!"

In full view under the public eye, delivering a message naturally didn’t involve any danger. Wasn’t this Divine Crystals just there for the taking?

Lin Chen handed the Jade Slip to the man and turned to leave.

The man walked a distance with the Jade Slip, looked back, and was surprised to find that the other party had already vanished.

"Left so quickly, so mysteriously."

The man arrived at the residential area of the Black Emperor Palace and raised the Jade Slip towards the two Black Emperor Palace disciples at the entrance.

"Someone entrusted me to deliver this Jade Slip to Elder Zhao Tianjue of the Black Emperor Palace."

A Black Emperor Palace disciple extended his hand, "Give it to me."

The man pulled back his hand, "They instructed that I hand it over personally."

The Black Emperor Palace disciples looked at the man’s robe, which bore no sect emblems, indicating he was a Loose Cultivator, and scornfully said, "Do you think anyone can just meet an Elder?"

The man replied, "He told me to mention a name, Zhao Muran."

The two gatekeeper disciples’ expressions changed suddenly.

"Where is he?"

The man answered, "He gave me the Jade Slip and then left. I don’t know where he went."

"Wait here."

One disciple entered the Black Emperor Palace premises to report, and soon, the figure of Zhao Tianjue appeared at the entrance, scrutinizing the man with a serious expression.

"I am Zhao Tianjue. Where is the Jade Slip?"

The man handed the Jade Slip to Zhao Tianjue and stepped back a few paces, "I’ve delivered the item, I’m leaving."

"Hold on."

Zhao Tianjue stopped the man, scanned the Jade Slip with Divine Sense, and his expression changed instantly, "What did the person who handed you the Jade Slip look like?"

The man replied, "He was wearing a mask, his features were obscured, and I couldn’t see clearly. But judging by his voice and build, he should be a young man..."
