Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 723 - 465: Rescuing Xu Feng (Part 2)

He knew that his life was completely in the hands of the other party now, so he could only force a smile more unsightly than crying, and tentatively said:

"To invite a big figure like you, senior, I suppose... the other party must also be a super powerful being who shakes the world..."

Lee Zhen only smiled meaningfully, without saying anything, which made Xu Feng even more uneasy.

...

After an unknown period, when the Little Blue Fish slowly landed in a secluded courtyard, Xu Feng's legs were still a bit weak.

"Right inside."

After landing, Lee Zhen said to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng immediately felt his heart jump to his throat.

He had already communicated with his Mountain-Piercing Giant Beast secretly; the moment he sensed anything wrong or an enemy appeared, he would make the beast drill underground and escape!

At this moment, there seemed to be some movement inside the house, followed by the sound of steady footsteps.

Xu Feng nervously raised his head, staring tightly at the doorway.

When the figure finally walked out of the house and appeared before him, he immediately knelt down, already exclaiming: "Thank you, benefactor..."

However, as he saw the face clearly, the remaining words stuck in his throat, and his half-kneeling position awkwardly froze in mid-air.

"Lin... Brother Lin?!"

Staring at the familiar yet youthful face in front of him, Xu Feng was stunned, his mind blank.

Standing to the side, Lee Zhen saw Xu Feng's comical appearance and couldn't help but smile, finding this guy rather amusing.

"It's good that you're rescued."

Lin Chen didn't mind these things; he quickly stepped forward and helped Xu Feng up from his frozen position.

At this moment, Xu Feng felt more surprised than embarrassed.

He never imagined that the powerful figure he painstakingly invited to rescue him would turn out to be Lin Chen!

"Lin... Brother Lin, how come you're here?"

Xu Feng was so flustered that he was tongue-tied.

Lin Chen invited him to sit at the stone table in the courtyard, poured a cup of tea leisurely, and said jokingly:

"Back in Celestial Realm City, you swore that you would share half of the treasure with me. I've waited for ages without any word from you. I was worried you forgot, so I had to come find you myself."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xu Feng kept shaking his head firmly, saying:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I was extremely secretive about coming to Nanfen Ancient Country. Even later when I became the Vice Sect Hierarch here, only the Pope knew my real name, so there's no way you could find me with that!"

Before Lin Chen could explain, Xu Feng seemed to realize something suddenly, slapped the table, and looked at Lin Chen with an "I understand" expression:

"That's it! I figured it out! You must have offended those guys from the Celestial Capital and got chased, so you fled to Nanfen Ancient Country to escape!"

Then, he acted as if covering for a brother, patting his chest heartily, and said heroically:

"You did the right thing coming here! This used to be half my turf! Don't worry, with me around, I'll definitely help you rise again here. Then we'll grow big and strong, regain our glory, and... march north to attack Celestial Capital!"

Seeing Xu Feng's passionate and grand demeanor, Lin Chen and Lee Zhen both had dark lines on their foreheads.

Lee Zhen couldn't take it anymore and couldn't help but say: "Lin Chen isn't faring that badly. The current Celestial Capital can't do anything to him."

"Huh?" Xu Feng was puzzled.

Lee Zhen didn't hide the truth, so he briefly explained the descent of the Divine Race and Lin Chen's current status and deeds in Cangling Ancient Country.

To Lin Chen's surprise, when Xu Feng heard about the "Divine Race", he didn't show much surprise.

"You already knew about the existence of the Divine Race?" Lin Chen keenly noticed this.

"Oh, the traces of the Divine Race might be a shocking secret to ordinary Beastmasters, but how could they hide it from tomb-robbing families like ours, passed down for generations?"

Xu Feng waved his hand, not caring.

At the same time, as he looked at Lin Chen, his eyes were filled with disbelief and doubt.

This guy... is really that formidable?

Single-handedly took down the Divine Race?

Doesn't seem like it!

Back during the last meeting in Celestial Realm City, Lin Chen's abilities weren't even as good as his.

Just been a few years, how did he seem to have leveled up so drastically?

"Our journey to Nanfen Ancient Country this time is partly to seek refuge," Lin Chen said straightforwardly, ignoring his gaze, "but also to visit the Eternal Sacred Mountain."

"Sacred Mountain?!" Xu Feng was so shocked by these words that he nearly jumped off the stone stool, "That's a forbidden area of the Ah Tuo Sect! What are you doing there?"

"Can you find a way to take us in?" asked Lin Chen directly.

"A way... there's indeed a way..." Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, awkwardly replying, "but truth be told, even I've never been there."

"You're the Vice Sect Hierarch and can't get in?" Lee Zhen was surprised.

"Oh, don't even mention it! Though I hold the title of Vice Sect Hierarch, when it comes down to it, I'm just working for the Pope." Xu Feng said with a look of frustration:

"That old fox valued my ability to decipher ancient divine scripts from the start. He never lets me touch the core secrets!"

"Then what about you?" Lin Chen countered, "What did you see in the sect? Struggle to infiltrate just to flaunt as Vice Sect Hierarch?"
