Chapter 101: Chance Encounter

Lin Chen subconsciously turned his head and happened to see several young girls walking together not far behind him. The girl directly in front was Ao Xin.

"Senior Sister Ao?" Lin Chen looked at Ao Xin in astonishment.

"Hey, Senior Sister Ao is also here to attend the auction?" Yuan Fei, who was beside Lin Chen, also said in surprise.

The people beside Ao Xin were all wearing the uniforms of inner disciples of the Tianji Sect. When they saw Ao Xin taking the initiative to greet a warrior at the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm, they couldn't help but feel curious and looked at him carefully. Lin Chen.

"Yes, come to the auction to learn more and buy something by the way." Ao Xin said with a smile, looking carefree.

Seeing this situation, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile.

We haven't seen each other for nearly half a year. At this moment, Ao Xin's cultivation level is already in the middle stage of Tiangang Realm. Looking at the aura on her body, it is clear that she is about to break through to the late stage of Tiangang Realm.

Ao Xin looked at Lin Chen and said, "Tsk tsk, Lin Chen, your cultivation speed is fast enough, and now you are at the eighth level of the physical training realm! By the way, let me introduce to you, this is Junior Brother Lin Chen. The third person in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm. This is Yuan Fei, the first person in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm. They are all rare geniuses in our Tianji Sect.”

After listening to Ao Xin's words, Yuan Fei couldn't help but blush a little. He paused slightly and said: "Lin Chen's talent is the real power. If it weren't for Lin Chen some time ago, I'm afraid the two of us would have died. It’s in the hands of horse thieves.”

"Oh, what's going on?" Ao Xin asked curiously.

Yuan Fei nodded and said, "That's right. Lin Chen and I set off from Tianji Sect and came to Jinyang City to participate in the auction. But we encountered horse thieves on the way. There were many horse thieves, and the leader of the horse thieves was still in the late Tiangang realm. , I am no match for them. Fortunately, Lin Chen killed the leader of the horse thieves in one fell swoop, and the other horse thieves dispersed. "

"hiss!"

"Are you kidding me? He was only at the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm, but he killed a warrior in the late Tiangang Realm?"

"It's funny."

As soon as Yuan Fei's words came out, several Tianji Sect inner disciples beside Ao Xin said with disbelief.

These inner disciples have the lowest cultivation level and are in the early stage of Tiangang Realm. They are the leaders of the younger generation of Tianji Sect. They all think very highly of themselves. They believe that if they were themselves, they would never be able to match the warriors in the late stage of Tiangang Realm. And Lin How could Chen, who was at the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm, be more powerful than them and successfully kill a late Tiangang Realm warrior?

Ao Xin also had a look of shock on her face. The strength of warriors in the late Tiangang realm was no joke. Even if Ao Xin faced him, she was not 100% sure of defeating him.

Ao Xin quickly recovered from her surprise and said with a smile: "Lin Chen, you are really strong! If I hadn't known you before, I probably wouldn't believe that you could kill a late Tiangang realm warrior."

Lin Chen has the power of a sword! Sword strength is the initial state of sword intention. When Ao Xin met Lin Chen, Lin Chen's sword strength was already quite strong. But now half a year later, he may not have the strength to kill late Tiangang realm warriors.

After hearing what she said, several Tianji Sect inner disciples beside Ao Xin had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Did Ao Xin and Lin Chen know each other before?

How can it be!

For a talented disciple like Ao Xin, those who can be friends with her must at least be disciples with good qualifications.

And Lin Chen...he was only at the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm.

Lin Chen nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Senior Sister Ao's cultivation level is also improving very quickly. She should be about to break through to the late stage of Tiangang Realm."

"It took me half a year to reach the middle stage of the Tiangang Realm. My speed is not that fast anymore. Also, Lin Chen, didn't I tell you? Just call me by my name. What's your name? Senior Sister." Ao Xin remembered what Xue Lingyun said to her. If so, you must have a good relationship with Lin Chen. More importantly, the relationship between Lin Chen and Xue Lingyun is now likely to develop further. As Xue Lingyun's good friend, Ao Xin naturally cares about Lin Chen.

However, when several Tianji Sect disciples beside her heard this, one of them suddenly changed his expression.

There are a total of five Tianji Sect disciples. Except for Ao Xin and another girl, the rest are all male.

This man looked at Lin Chen with a somewhat jealous expression. His cultivation in the middle stage of Tiangang Realm was second only to Ao Xin among the people.

The most important thing is that he is Ao Xin's suitor and they are already quite familiar with each other, but even so, Ao Xin does not allow him to call the latter by his name.

However, at this moment, Ao Xin took the initiative to let a young warrior at the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm call her by her name.

"Hmph, there is a difference in status. He is only at the eighth level of the Body Refining Realm. How can he call you by your name?" The man glared at Lin Chen with a stern expression and whispered.

Under normal circumstances, disciples with lower cultivation bases will call those with higher cultivation bases as senior brothers or senior sisters. However, the sect does not have clear regulations on this point. After all, there are unexpected situations. If you are a friend, you can avoid calling them like this.

After hearing this disciple's words, Ao Xin's expression changed and she glared back at the former with some annoyance.

Lin Chen was a man of two generations, and he understood what this person was thinking. However, Lin Chen didn't care and ignored this person. He nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will take the liberty to call you Ao Xin." ”

Uh-huh!

The disciple who spoke before turned red instantly and looked at Lin Chen angrily, wishing he could slap the latter to death.

He said he couldn't call him by his name, but Lin Chen ignored him, treating him like a ball of air.

"Good! You are very good. Your name is Lin Chen, right? I will remember you." A haze flashed across his brows, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"Xie Wei, what are you doing!" As soon as this person spoke, Ao Xin couldn't help but scolded.

"Hehe, I didn't do anything. I just wanted to be friends with him." The disciple called Xie Wei had a sinister look on his face, and said lightly, but in his heart, he was determined to teach Lin Chen a lesson after returning to the sect.

"You'd better not mess around."

Ao Xin frowned slightly, obviously not very optimistic about Xie Wei's character, and said.

"Hehe, don't worry, I will become a 'good friend' with Lin Chen, Lin Chen, don't you think so?" Xie Wei smiled lightly, looking at Lin Chen in a weird way.

However, Lin Chen didn't even look at Xie Wei, and said to Yuan Fei and Ao Xin: "It's late now, let's go."

Seeing this, Xie Wei's face turned ashen, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

After a long time of feeling, the other party didn't take him seriously at all.

"Well, let's go." Yuan Fei was also a little unhappy with Xie Wei, nodded and turned to walk out.

Seeing that Lin Chen's expression did not change, Ao Xin breathed a sigh of relief and glared at Xie Wei, and then said to the other Tianji Sect disciples: "Let's go."

As he said, the group walked out of the auction house, leaving Xie Wei standing there with an ugly face and gritting his teeth.

Everyone came to the center of Jinyang City and had lunch in a restaurant. This restaurant was managed by the Yuan family, so it was Yuan Fei's treat.

At the same time, Yuan Fei also handed over the one million low-grade spirit stones given to him by the family to the family, and prepared to return to Tianji Sect with Lin Chen, Ao Xin and others.

After lunch, Lin Chen and others walked towards the city gate.

Jinyang City is extremely prosperous, with countless people coming in and out, and there are many warriors carrying packages at the city gate.

Mixed with the flow of people, Lin Chen and others finally left Jinyang City. However, just after walking out of the city gate, Lin Chen noticed a figure following them.

The figure was only a few hundred meters away from Lin Chen and others, and even only tens of meters away when close, but there were too many warriors around, and the figure seemed to be deliberately hiding, so Ao Xin and others did not notice it.

Lin Chen's soul power and perception were extremely strong and sharp. The figure's eyes focused on him for a moment, and Lin Chen felt it.

"Hmm?" Lin Chen frowned slightly, and his heart moved, and he released his soul power.

The one who had been following them was the middle-aged man in the late Tiangang realm who had competed with Lin Chen for the bronze essence before!

"Hehe, disciples of Tianji Sect? Whether you are disciples of the sect or not, I will kill you all the same!" The middle-aged man laughed in a low voice and followed Lin Chen and others not far away.

Although there were many people in Lin Chen and others, their cultivation was not high after all. The middle-aged man was in the late Tiangang realm, and he was confident that he could handle several mid-level Tiangang realm warriors with ease.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen sneered in his heart. The middle-aged man was in the late stage of Tiangang Realm, but his strength was not weak either. He was not afraid at all. However, on the surface, Lin Chen still had no expression on his face, as if he had not noticed the middle-aged man.

The group walked farther and farther. Half an hour later, Lin Chen and others had already walked into a jungle, and the number of warriors passing by here became increasingly rare. Only occasionally would one or two warriors from the Molian Mountains pass by here.

As the flow of people became scarce, Ao Xin and others also found something wrong.

From the time they left the city until now, the middle-aged man has been following them. Before, it could be explained that he was on the way, but now he is still following them. It is a bit unreasonable to explain it as being on the way.

Ao Xin frowned slightly and said, "Who is this person?"

"He dared to follow our sect disciples. Is he looking for death!" A disciple in the early stage of Tiangang Realm said with a somewhat unpleasant face.

The rest of the people also had unpleasant faces. They all stopped in place with a hint of solemnity, turned around and confronted the middle-aged man from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chen shook his head slightly and said, "He also participated in the auction. He was one of my competitors when the bronze essence was auctioned."

Hearing this, Ao Xin and others immediately showed a look of realization on their faces.

This middle-aged man obviously didn't want to spend a lot of spirit stones to auction the bronze essence, but he wanted to get the bronze essence, so he wanted to kill people and rob the goods.

When the bronze essence was auctioned, Ao Xin originally wanted to bid for it, but later Lin Chen called the price, so he gave up.

Not far away, the middle-aged man saw Lin Chen and others stopped, and immediately stopped. He looked at Lin Chen and others with a sinister face, and laughed: "Hehe, kid, if you know what's good for you, hand over the bronze essence quickly, and I can consider leaving you a whole body."

"As for the others, take the initiative to hand over the money on you, otherwise... I promise that you will disappear from this world, and your body will be gone!"
