Chapter 390 Both Masters Are Lost?
Chapter 390 Both Masters Are Lost?
Yun Chen’s words left everyone present dumbfounded.
Elder Lei, Lin Wan'er, and even Mei Chuan looked at Yun Chen in surprise.
You know, the Heavenly Oath is not an ordinary oath.
Anyone who swears an oath to the Heavenly Dao and breaks it will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. In the mildest case, their cultivation will not make any progress. In the worst case, they will be struck by heavenly lightning and die.
Yun Chen said that the oath of heaven cannot be believed?
Then what can be believed?
Leng Hanyue opened her red lips slightly, obviously shocked by Yun Chen's disdainful attitude towards the Heavenly Dao Oath.
There was a flash of anger in her cold eyes, but more of it was helplessness.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, and her voice became colder and colder: "Yun Chen, it's useless even if you catch me. I don't know the specific whereabouts of Master Ling Shuang at the moment."
"You do not know?"
Yun Chen sneered, looking like he was asking, "Do you think I believe it?"
Leng Hanyue pursed her red lips, thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to find Uncle Ling Shuang, you might as well wait a while."
"Wait a minute?" Yun Chen frowned.
Leng Hanyue nodded and said, "The Dao Alliance Qualifying Tournament will be held in a few days. Chaoyin Pavilion will also participate this time, led by Senior Sister Lingshuang. You can go directly to her then."
Yun Chen stared at Leng Hanyue, trying to find a trace of deception in her eyes, but there was only calmness and a hint of forced displeasure in those cold eyes.
"What if something happens to my master these days? Will you pay for her life?"
Yun Chen raised his eyebrows, his tone still strong.
He didn't believe that anyone from a sect would not have emergency contact information.
"If she is not a very evil person, then I have no problem." Leng Hanyue nodded calmly.
Although Chaoyin Pavilion is mysterious, it has strict rules.
That is, we must not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and we must not bully the weak...
This is also the reason why she is sure that Master Yun Chen is fine.
Yun Chen was stunned by her words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Leng Hanyue saw that Yun Chen was speechless for a moment after being asked back by her, and knew that this was the only chance to escape.
She no longer hesitated, and instantly pushed the ice spiritual power in her body to the extreme. The cold air around her burst out, turning into countless tiny ice crystals that shot out in all directions, like an ice lotus that bloomed in an instant. Not only did it disturb everyone's sight, but the biting cold also made Yun Chen, who was closest to her, pause slightly.
"Farewell!"
Before the cold voice had completely fallen, Leng Hanyue's figure had turned into a light blue stream of light, and fled towards the depths of the dense forest at a speed far exceeding before. In the blink of an eye, only a vague dot of light remained.
"Want to run?"
Yun Chen reacted instantly, burning with rage, his spiritual power surged wildly, and he was ready to chase after him regardless of the consequences.
Although his dragon transformation had subsided, his obsession with saving his master made him burst out at an astonishing speed.
However, just as he moved, a steady and powerful hand pressed on his shoulder, and the force as heavy as a mountain instantly suppressed his forward momentum.
"Yun Chen, wait a minute!" Elder Lei's voice sounded in his ears with unquestionable majesty.
"Elder Lei! Let me go! She ran away!"
Yun Chen's eyes turned red with anxiety as he tried to break free, but Elder Lei's hand was like an iron clamp, motionless.
"calm down!"
Elder Lei growled, his voice carrying a hint of thunder, shocking Yun Chen's heart. "What good will it do if you chase her? Not to mention her strange movements, it's not certain you can catch up. Even if you did, are you absolutely sure you can stop her? Or force her to reveal your master's whereabouts?"
Yun Chen gritted his teeth. He knew that what Elder Lei said made sense. In the brief fight just now, he had already witnessed Leng Hanyue's strength. He had not yet revealed his trump card and was determined to escape. Even if he caught up with him, it would probably be a fierce battle with unpredictable results.
Seeing that he had calmed down a bit, Elder Lei continued in a deep voice, "Since she has already stated that Elder Ling Shuang will appear during the qualifying round, this isn't necessarily an excuse."
"Although Chaoyin Pavilion is secluded, it's reasonable for them to send people to participate in a grand event like the Dao Alliance Ranking Tournament. With everyone watching, it's the perfect time for you to question them face to face."
"If we pursue her rashly now, it might push her into a corner or arouse the hostility of the Chaoyin Pavilion behind her, which would be detrimental to your master."
Zhao Xiruo also stepped forward and took Yun Chen's other arm, gently persuading him, "Yun Chen, Elder Lei is right."
"We now know the exact time and location, which is better than having no clue at all before."
"It'll only take a few days. We can afford to wait. Senior Ye is a lucky person, so he will be fine."
Lin Wan'er and Mei Chuan also gathered around. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes showed their approval of Yun Chen's decision.
Yun Chen looked at the direction where Leng Hanyue disappeared, his chest heaving violently. Finally, he punched an ancient tree next to him hard, causing the branches and leaves to fall down.
He closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and forced himself to suppress the anxiety and unwillingness in his heart.
"Alright! I'll wait until the qualifying round!" He opened his eyes, a determined light flashing in them: "If I don't see Ling Shuang by then, or if Master has any mishap, I, Yun Chen, swear to destroy Chaoyin Pavilion!"
His voice was not loud, but it carried a heart-pounding determination that frightened Lin Wan'er and Mei Chuan beside him.
Elder Lei looked at Yun Chen, a complex expression flashing in his eyes, which included admiration for his loyalty and righteousness, as well as a hint of worry about the young man's impulsiveness.
He patted Yun Chen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the qualifying competition is just a few days away... When the time comes, with the help of the Divine Thunder Palace, even the Pavilion Master of the Chaoyin Pavilion will have to give face. Your master will be fine."
Yun Chen took a deep breath and calmed his thoughts. Then he remembered something and looked up at Elder Lei.
"By the way, Elder Lei...why are you guys in the Forest of Beasts? Are you here to look for me?"
Elder Lei watched Yun Chen calm down and breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Zhao Xiruo beside him and said slowly, "Ruoruo is here to see you. I... have something to do, so I brought her here on the way."
"Something needs to be done? What is it?" Yun Chen couldn't help but ask.
Elder Lei glanced at the slightly messy surroundings and continued, "We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's talk while we walk."
The group followed Elder Lei and left the area where the fight had just taken place.
Elder Lei then slowly began to explain, "I came here this time... actually, I came here to look for the Sect Leader... He came to investigate the Forest of Myriad Beasts the day before yesterday, but there's been no news until now. I was worried something might have happened, so I came to check... and I happened to run into this girl who had sneaked out to look for you. So I brought her along."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Xiruo beside him with some helplessness.
Zhao Xiruo immediately interjected, speaking to Yun Chen in a tone that sounded aggrieved and coquettish, "I'm just worried about you! The Ten Thousand Beasts Forest has been so turbulent lately, and you barged in alone, how could I not be anxious?"
As she spoke, she gently pinched Yun Chen's arm.
Elder Lei rolled his eyes: "Are you worried about his safety or worried that he will be taken away?"
Zhao Xiruo blushed: "Elder Lei, don't talk nonsense... I didn't do that."
Elder Lei curled his lips and said nothing.
The two were talking, but Yun Chen didn't listen at all. Instead, he stared at Elder Lei.
"You mean...my master...is missing too?"
