Chapter 2417: Chapter 2418: Not Human

"Taotie?"

After speaking, the voice reverberated from the sky, and Lin Chen naturally heard it clearly and without confusion.

He snapped back to reality and continued to gaze at the fat man before him, with a glimmer of thought in his eyes.

"What is the connection between this man and Taotie? Or... is he actually transformed by Taotie?"

Doubts arose in Lin Chen’s mind.

Meanwhile, on the dome of the heavens, the gap in the full moon seemed unable to withstand the pressure, gradually closing up. From the almost closed gap, an angry roar echoing dissatisfaction could be heard.

However, everything seemed to have become inevitable; despite possessing formidable strength, the figure within the gap couldn’t tear through the rift but could only retreat resentfully, with a heart full of unrest.

Yet, none of these were Lin Chen’s concern anymore.

"Phew, finally it’s gone."

The people beside Liu Qinghan, upon seeing the full moon restored to normal, finally relaxed, exhaling a long breath of relief.

When their spirits relaxed, they felt their bodies were covered in sweat, making their green robes stick tightly to their skin, very uncomfortable indeed.

It was because the crisis was still present that they didn’t feel it much, but now with the crisis gone, they started to notice.

But earlier, they were merely standing at a distance, not directly facing such oppressive pressure. So what about Lin Chen and the fat man who faced this pressure directly?

The elders knew the fat man’s true identity. Although slightly shocked, they were relieved once they considered his identity. But looking at Lin Chen, they could only express genuine admiration.

Everyone present had a higher cultivation level than Lin Chen, able to see through Lin Chen’s level with a glance.

Yet with such cultivation, he dared to fight against that terrifying force just now. Such courage, how many of them possessed it? All exchanged glances, seeing a bit of fear in each other’s eyes. They were clear, if they were in Lin Chen’s perilous situation, they wouldn’t dare risk their lives like he did.

Burp.

As they exchanged looks, the fat man devoured the palm imprint from the sky completely, leaving not a single trace.

He floated down from the sky, seemingly heavy-footed due to being overly full, his belly appearing round and bulging.

"Thank you, elder."

As the fat man walked towards Lin Chen, Lin Chen greeted him respectfully.

But the fat man seemed indifferent, remained silent, and paid no attention to Lin Chen, simply walking to Lin Chen’s side.

Then he extended his round hand, reaching forward, beckoning towards Liu Qinghan, who was behind Lin Chen, healing him.

Liu Qinghan seemed to have anticipated this; he retrieved another storage ring from his own storage ring and tossed it to the fat man.

The fat man finally grinned, seemingly content, hefted the ring in his hand, and without addressing the present people, began to walk away instantly.

"This time, I really lost a lot."

Liu Qinghan sighed lightly, appearing somewhat helpless.

"Though the cost is huge, breaking the restraint on this sacred artifact is still a gain," an elder consoled him.

This was what they were all aiming for, as long as this restraint was removed, all their efforts would be worthwhile.

"Hopefully." Liu Qinghan said softly.

After experiencing these events, Liu Qinghan dared not think optimistically, especially as the Sect Master, needing to consider unfavorable outcomes.

Such as this time, had Liu Qinghan not first invited the fat man, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"It’s almost done, just some more rest, and your arm should fully recover."

Shortly after the fat man left, Liu Qinghan finally rose to his feet, his face sweating, indicating that this healing wasn’t particularly easy for him either.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Lin Chen stood up from the ground, genuinely grateful. He lightly moved his right hand, from under the tattered garment, the skin appeared healed.

But the newly healed muscles and bones still couldn’t exert too much strength, as they remained somewhat fragile.

However, it was no matter, given Lin Chen’s recovery speed, complete recovery would only be a matter of time.

"This is what you did for the sect, I should be the one thanking you, actually."

Liu Qinghan also expressed thanks, sincerely. For the Green Ripple Sect, this sacred artifact was indeed a precious treasure.

Previously, the Pan family’s descendants could manipulate this sacred artifact, but now the Pan descendants are all gone, fortunately, the restraint was removed, or else Green Ripple Sect would lose a significant support.

Lin Chen didn’t demur further; the words were said, and that was enough.

"Luckily all is well."

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief; after this time spent together, Chen Lin had already regarded Lin Chen as a child of his own, naturally hoping no harm would come.

"No major issues."

Lin Chen stretched out his muscles, then smiled at Chen Lin indicating he was fine.

"We’re fortunate to have help, or you wouldn’t be jumping around like this." Chen Lin looked at Lin Chen’s demeanor, unable to suppress his anger, speaking crossly.

Talking about this, Lin Chen lightly coughed, then corrected himself, curiously asking Chen Lin, "What was that person’s background just now, how could they..."

Lin Chen pondered briefly, recalling the previous power. That force was clearly beyond what a normal person could achieve, even those present, including Liu Qinghan, likely lacked such capability.

But that person easily executed such an attack, naturally making Lin Chen feel astonished and curious.

"He can’t be entirely considered human."

Chen Lin rested his chin, after pondering, explained this to Lin Chen.

But this explanation only confused Lin Chen further, not entirely human? Then what could he be?

"To be more precise, he was originally human, but inside his body, a fierce beast is sealed."

After a moment, Chen Lin calmly elaborated, offering Lin Chen a detailed explanation.
