Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 847 - 867: Why Am I Still Alive?_1

The strength of a cultivator who can travel through the Valley of Death and still be alive must be incredibly strong!

I am definitely not their opponent.

At the very least, the fact that they appeared silently in front of me without my detecting them is enough to illustrate the problem.

Lin Chen cautiously answered, "The two of us were chased by the Red Dragon King and were forced to flee into the Underground Dark River. We then entered a Secret Realm, and there was a Light Door inside. We entered the Light Door and finally arrived here..."

The middle-aged man looked surprised, "You came from the Five Elements Immortal Palace?"

Lin Chen was taken aback, but since the conversation had come this far, there was no denying it. He simply answered honestly, "Yes, we entered the Five Elements Immortal Palace to escape death..."

"To escape from the Five Elements Immortal Palace, one must possess a Five Elements Spirit Body and absorb enough Five Elements Essence."

The middle-aged man revealed the secret of the Five Elements Immortal Palace in one breath, which greatly surprised Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi.

Could it be that he had also been to the Five Elements Immortal Palace, or that he had also come from there?

The middle-aged man’s gaze swept over the two of them, finally landing on Lin Chen. His eyes shone with a mysterious radiance. In that instant, Lin Chen felt as if his body was stripped of clothes, and even his inner thoughts were laid bare and completely defenseless.

"She has a wood spirit body, so it’s normal for her to escape. You don’t have a Five Elements Spirit Body, but how could you have come out alive? Huh, your bones have been refined into tools and absorbed a substantial amount of Gold Essence and Earth Essence, thus avoiding the tearing of the Void Force. Interesting, interesting, which sect’s disciple are you?"

Lin Chen felt his scalp tingling; this man was too strong.

With just one glance, he could see through all the secrets of his body.

Lin Chen braced himself and answered, "I am the fourth disciple of Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky’s Cave Master Shi Changsheng."

Lin Chen reported all the details, hoping his master could have some deterrent effect and make the man give him some face and not kill them with a wave of his hand.

The middle-aged man’s eyes were filled with confusion, "Nanyue Hengshan Cave Sky, where is that?"

Lin Chen hesitated, then carefully explained, "Nanyue Hengshan is in Xixi State."

The middle-aged man still shook his head, confused, "Never heard of it."

Lin Chen was a bit baffled. Although Nanyue Hengshan was not one of the Ten Great Cave Skies, it was one of the most famous among the smaller Cave Worlds. The cave master and the senior brother were well-known in the world; how could they have never heard of them?

Lin Chen carefully asked, "Which sect is senior from? How could you appear here?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes grew more confused, "Who am I? Yes, who am I? Why am I here..."

After muttering to himself for a moment, the middle-aged man’s face suddenly changed. He looked horrified, and his face became extremely distorted, "Why am I still alive if I’m supposed to be dead? Why am I here, why... ah!"

All of a sudden, the middle-aged man clutched his head, his expression a mix of pain and sorrow. His scream sounded like a loud roar: "Why am I still alive? Why didn’t you kill me!"

Amid the roaring, the middle-aged man took a step forward, and the Dao Pattern radiance under his feet flashed. In an instant, he vanished.

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened, his gaze as if he had seen a ghost.

Gu Yuexi had been holding her breath the entire time and dared not even breathe. Seeing the man leave, she finally heaved a sigh of relief and whispered, "Brother, he’s gone. He seems to have some mental problems; let’s get away from here quickly... Brother, what’s wrong with you?"

Lin Chen returned to his senses, turned his head, and incredulously answered, "He just used the Great Shrinking Technique, Reducing Land to Inches when he left!"

Gu Yuexi’s eyes widened in shock, "The same technique you used to save me when we fled?"

"Yes!"

Lin Chen was extremely shocked, "I definitely didn’t see it wrong. He used the Reducing Land to Inches technique, but his execution was at least a hundred times more powerful than mine!"

"Aunt Tang once told me that the Great Shrinking Technique, Reducing Land to Inches, was the exclusive cultivation technique of an ancient family. However, that ancient family was wiped out during a great battle between the human and demon races, and the technique was lost from then on. She was lucky to have gotten a rubbing with the Dao Pattern of Reducing Land to Inches..."

Gu Yuexi speculated, "Could it be that this ancient family didn’t go extinct and left some inheritance behind? Maybe he’s a descendant of that ancient family and has mastered the purest form of Reducing Land to Inches?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Perhaps, this person may be mentally unstable, but he is definitely incredibly strong. I even feel that he may not be weaker than my master or senior brother. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to survive here."

Gu Yuexi laughed softly, "Maybe he relies on this Great Secret Technique. Look at him; as soon as he moved, he disappeared. This place has such an open view, and he vanished with a single step. That must be at least twenty miles away. Even if the frenzied demonic beasts want to kill him, they have to catch up first..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You have a point, but I’m far behind him. My speed isn’t fast enough. At least Lao Ying (Zhang Ying) was much faster than me..."
