"Mhm, Yi Xian saved me back then. I've been recovering from my injuries all these years, so I haven't shown myself," Lu Yuyan explained hurriedly after hearing Zhao Long's words.
Indeed, if not for Long Yi Xian's desperate efforts to channel spiritual energy into her over the years, how could she have possibly survived until now?
"It's good that you're alive, good that you're alive!"
Zhao Long was filled with emotion at this moment.
He thought he had no family left in this world, but he never expected such a huge surprise to appear now!
"Master, Aunt, please don't just stand there. Let's sit and chat," Lin Chen said, trying to persuade them.
He understood the deep bond between his master and his aunt very well.
Both of them had thought the other was dead, and now they could meet here, which was truly a great surprise!
"Ghost Spirit Sect! It's time to settle the score!"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhao Long clenched his fists.
The predicament he and his fellow disciples found themselves in was all due to the machinations of the Ghost Spirit Sect from the shadows!
They had done everything they could to attack them for the map of the secret realm, slaughtering dozens of people from the entire Ghost God Sect.
Only he and Lu Yuyan had managed to escape.
Now that both he and Lu Yuyan had reached the Nascent Soul realm, there was no way they would let them off!
"Master, speaking of the Ghost Spirit Sect, a messenger from the Ghost Spirit Sect once approached me. His name was Zhou Jiang. He wanted me to go to the Ghost Spirit Sect and even offered me a position as an elder."
Hearing Zhao Long mention the Ghost Spirit Sect, Lin Chen quickly confessed.
He knew his master's deep animosity towards the Ghost Spirit Sect, which was why he hadn't agreed back then, but he hadn't refused either.
He had hoped to help his master at a crucial moment!
"Oh? Zhou Jiang?"
Zhao Long frowned upon hearing the name.
He had heard of Zhou Jiang before. Although he wasn't one of the attackers back then, anyone who could reach the position of elder must have had some involvement in that incident!
"In that case, next time he contacts you, you should pretend to agree and go see what the Ghost Spirit Sect's main base is like!" Zhao Long decided after some thought.
For many years, the Ghost Spirit Sect had managed to remain a prominent force in the cultivation world not just because of their power, but primarily because their sect's location had always been shifting.
Even the sect leaders of many hidden sects had no idea of the Ghost Spirit Sect's exact whereabouts.
Given the nature of the Ghost Spirit Sect, they had offended many people in the cultivation world over the years.
Yet, they had always remained unbothered because no one knew where they were.
They always appeared mysteriously, and even those seeking revenge couldn't find them.
Because of this, even though they now had the strength for revenge, they had nowhere to exact it.
However, if Zhao Heng could find the Ghost Spirit Sect's exact location, with his and Lu Yuyan's current strength, they could definitely go there and annihilate them!
Zhao Long was confident about this!
"Alright! I'll contact that Zhou Jiang later and tell him that my master also agrees to join the Ghost Spirit Sect."
Upon receiving Zhao Long's approval, Lin Chen nodded without hesitation.
Everything was now in place.
They had to deal with either that sinister demon god or the Ghost Spirit Sect first!
Otherwise, if these matters piled up, they would eventually explode.
"Mhm, and also, Xiao Chen, you don't need to hide your cultivation anymore. Break through when you should!"
Just as Lin Chen was thinking about how to contact Zhou Jiang, Zhao Long suddenly looked at him with a smile.
Hearing his master's words, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, but then he understood.
Yes, he had been taught by his master, and if he could hide it from others, how could he hide it from his master?
"Wait, what do you mean? Xiao Chen's cultivation can still break through?"
Upon hearing Zhao Long's words, everyone in the room looked shocked.
Especially Lin Yuelong, whose eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhao Long was a genuine fifth-grade Nascent Soul realm expert!
There was no doubt his words were true!
But if one considered what Zhao Long had just said, didn't it mean that Lin Chen's current cultivation wasn't just in the middle stage of Core Formation?
His current displayed strength was merely a disguise!
"Hahahaha, of course. Did you think my disciple only had this much strength?"
Seeing Lin Yuelong's astonished expression, Zhao Long burst into laughter.
Others might not understand Lin Chen's talent, but how could he not?
He had broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm in just three years when they were in prison.
Such talent was among the best in the entire cultivation world.
Moreover, Lin Chen now had the mysterious Nine Dragon Ring to assist him.
Although Zhao Long still didn't know the full effects of the Nine Dragon Ring, he could guess some of its capabilities.
This item was definitely of great help to Lin Chen's cultivation!
He had been out of prison for a long time and had acquired numerous rare treasures.
Yet, Lin Chen hadn't broken through. This only meant that he was deliberately hiding his progress!
But now that he had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, and achieved the fifth-grade Nascent Soul realm, all of Lin Chen's previous concerns were gone, and he could naturally break through with confidence!
"No way? Could it be that you've reached the late stage of Core Formation now?"
Seeing Zhao Long's confident demeanor, Lin Yuelong's eyes widened again in disbelief.
With Lin Chen's current cultivation, he could already be ranked among the top ten young cultivators in the Dragon Country.
Many disciples from aristocratic families couldn't compare to him.
But if Lin Chen could break through to the late stage of Core Formation now, he could truly be ranked among the top three!
In that case, wasn't his nephew's talent too terrifying?
