Upon learning that Chen Qingying was dead, Chen Lin couldn't help but feel depressed.
Although I had expected it, it still felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Get up!"
Chen Lin stretched out his hand and lifted Chen Jiliang up.
The other party's aptitude is not very good, he only has three spiritual roots, but he is a descendant of the Chen family after all. He is probably also taken care of by Chen Ling'er, otherwise it would be impossible for him to successfully form a pill.
"Let's go and meet your leader."
Chen Lin put away his thoughts, glanced at the woman in gauze beside him, and did not ask about other things.
Anyway, I have already arrived at the sect, and I will naturally know all the situations when I see my daughter.
The woman in white gauze received the signal and hurriedly led the way, while Chen Jiliang and Chen Lin left the teleportation hall together and flew towards the main peak.
At this time, Chen Lin discovered that there was another layer of defensive formation on the main peak, and it was of an extremely high level. It was hard for a Jindan cultivator to break through, but a Yuanying cultivator would definitely not be able to break through it.
He couldn't help but nod secretly. It seemed that his daughter still knew how to take precautions. At least the place where she lived was well defended.
Soon, the three of them landed at the foot of the mountain. Chen Jiliang immediately flew to the front and placed a token on the groove next to the entrance.
Immediately, a wave of energy appeared at the entrance, and a female cultivator in the Jindan stage walked out.
"It's Elder Chen. Is there something important you want to discuss with the Sect Master? The Sect Master is currently in seclusion practicing. If it's not important, let's talk about it another day."
The Jindan female cultivator was very respectful to Chen Jiliang. After all, Chen Jiliang was Chen Linger's grandson and a blood relative.
"There is something important, very important. The Sect Master's father is here. Please inform the Sect Master."
Chen Jiliang was afraid of neglecting Chen Lin, so he hurriedly explained the situation.
The female Jindan cultivator was stunned for a moment.
"The master's father, who is that?"
But she reacted immediately, looked at Chen Lin with disbelief, and then looked at Chen Jiliang in surprise.
"Could it be that this is the Grandmaster Chen Lin that the Sect Master has always been thinking about?"
Seeing Chen Jiliang nod, she hurried to Chen Lin to pay her respects, but did not let him in directly. Instead, she activated a communication talisman.
Then she bowed to Chen Lin again and said apologetically, "Please don't blame me, Master. My master is in seclusion at a critical moment. I am afraid that she will lose her mind after hearing the news and something unexpected will happen. So I will notify her to come out first, and then we will go over."
Chen Lin nodded slightly and said nothing.
The other party obviously didn't believe him and said that was just an excuse to get Chen Ling'er to come out and identify him.
Although it was a bit rude, Chen Lin admired this man's actions very much. His daughter would be safer with such a person around her.
"May I have your name?"
While waiting, Chen Lin asked.
The female Jindan cultivator was very respectful and immediately replied, "Junior Xue Honglan is the second disciple of the sect master."
"You're pretty good."
Chen Lin made a comment.
However, Xue Honglan was unsure about the real meaning of his words, and whether he was speaking in sarcasm because of her obstruction.
After thinking for a while, she was about to explain when she saw a flash of light and a figure flew down from the mountain.
"Who is so important that you have to disturb my retreat? If you don't give me an explanation, I will punish you!"
Before the person arrived, the voice rang out, filled with anger.
However, a light flashed in Chen Lin's eyes and a smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, Sect Master Chen is so majestic!"
"Why, this sect master is so powerful, what can you do... Huh?"
Chen Ling'er fell down and glared at the person who challenged her dignity, but immediately exclaimed in surprise and froze in place.
It took him a while to react, and he rushed towards Chen Lin like a young swallow flying into the forest.
“Daddy!”
Chen Lin looked at his daughter, whose appearance had hardly changed but who looked a little haggard, and felt an infinite warmth in his heart. He gently stroked the top of her head and looked at her carefully.
Chen Ling'er's eyes turned red and she stared at Chen Lin's face, fearing that this was an illusion.
"Daddy is incompetent, and you have suffered all these years."
My daughter is a free-spirited person, but now she has established a sect and become the leader of it. I guess she must have her own reasons.
"No, my daughter is doing well. Daddy, you are still alive. I am so happy!"
Chen Ling'er spoke quickly.
Chen Lin's disappearance in the secret Demon-Suppressing Temple that year made her family extremely worried. Although Xiaocao was summoned away later, which gave them some comfort, the fact that there was no news from him for so many years made them more and more worried, thinking that they would never see each other again.
After all, the world of cultivating immortals is extremely dangerous. No one knows what will happen next, and there is no way to ensure safety.
"Well, it should be a happy thing for you and me to meet each other as father and daughter. Don't cry. How are your mother and your aunt? Are your master, Fairy Baiyin and others all right?"
After a pause, Chen Lin asked about what he was most worried about.
Then Chen Ling'er's face darkened.
His heart suddenly began to lift.
"Why, have they all run out of lifespan?"
Chen Lin asked in a low voice.
There are some things that you have to face no matter how unwilling you are.
Birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable unless one becomes an immortal. After adjusting along the way, his mentality has become calmer.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ling'er shook her head, then looked around and said to Chen Lin: "Dad, you must have been exhausted from the journey. Come with me back to the Sect Master's Mansion to rest. We will talk about this in detail later."
Chen Lin raised his eyebrows, nodded, and said, "Okay, then I'll see how your clan leader's mansion is built."
It seemed that there was some hidden secret here, so Chen Lin did not ask any more questions, but flew to the sect master's mansion on the top of the mountain with Chen Ling'er.
After walking all the way to the inner courtyard and entering a room with a faint and elegant fragrance, Chen Ling'er asked Chen Lin to sit down, served him spiritual tea, and continued to stare at Chen Lin's face.
"Why, are you afraid that I'm a fake?"
Chen Lin glared at the other person. He was already over three hundred years old, but he was still so disrespectful.
Unexpectedly, Chen Linger nodded and said, "I am really a little worried, but I practiced a blood secret method some time ago, and I can sense that you are not fake, Dad."
"oh?"
Chen Lin frowned.
Puzzled, "So, someone has impersonated me before?"
"Um."
Chen Linger nodded immediately and said, "Yes, there is a demon sect in this world that is good at all kinds of evil means. Its leader, Wuxin Demon Lord, can transform into a demon to invade the inner world of the cultivators. He is very difficult to deal with."
"Is the problem between your mother and your aunt related to him?"
Chen Lin immediately saw the key, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.
"Dad is right."
Chen Linger nodded again, her face heavy, and said, "After Master brought us here, we found that this place was just a low-level realm. After living in seclusion for a few years, we began to look for a way to leave. However, there are very few demon world nodes here, and they are not connected to the outside world. So we began to collect resources, hoping to improve our cultivation as soon as possible to see if there is hope of ascending."
Seeing that Chen Lin was listening attentively, Chen Linger continued, "During this period, the Heartless Demon Lord discovered us and had ideas about my mother's and my earth spirit bodies. He wanted to force us to submit. In order to protect us, Master fought a fierce battle with him and defeated him."
Chen Lin frowned when he heard this.
When he left the lower world, the Silver Fairy had already reached the late Nascent Soul stage, and her spear intent was powerful. She also possessed many powerful means such as the Soul-Destroying Finger. However, she was able to repel the Heartless Demon Lord instead of killing him. It seemed that this person's strength was truly extraordinary.
"Then what?"
Since the Silver Fairy hasn't come out yet, something must have gone wrong, he asked immediately.
Chen Linger replied, "After the Heartless Demon Lord was defeated, he behaved himself for a while. We lived in peace and we did not look for him again. But about a hundred years ago, the Heartless Demon Lord somehow got hold of Daddy's appearance and found us pretending to be you. In our excitement, we did not check carefully and were ambushed by him.
My master and mother were seriously injured. Fortunately, I had quietly broken through to the late Nascent Soul stage, and together with my master, we were able to repel the enemy again. However, my master was hit by the enemy's magic, and his health deteriorated. He could not find a solution in this world, so he took Chen Bao to explore the demon world, looking for a way to enter a higher level interface, and then disappeared and never came back. "
Having said this, Chen Ling'er showed a guilty look.
After a moment of silence, he whispered, "If it weren't for me and my mother, my master wouldn't have gotten into trouble. I don't know if they are still alive."
After hearing his daughter's words, Chen Lin looked thoughtful.
In this case, the Silver Fairy City in the Ten Thousand Stars Islands must have been built by the Silver Fairy. The reason why she only found out about Chen Bao but not the other party was probably because she was in seclusion healing her injuries and had never shown her figure to the outside world.
However, with Chen Bao here, they will not be harmed even if the interface is broken. It is just that it will not be easy to find them.
Thinking of this, he told his daughter about the situation and told her not to worry.
"real!"
When Chen Ling'er heard the news, she was overjoyed.
Both the Silver Fairy and Chen Bao were the ones closest to her. After their disappearance, she was sad for a long time and almost developed a demon in her heart, which gave the Heartless Demon Lord an opportunity to take advantage of her.
"Now let's talk about your mother and aunt. How are they?"
Chen Linger's expression darkened again, and she said in a low voice, "Originally, my mother had already been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage, but after being injured by the Heartless Demon Lord, she fell to the Golden Core stage, and her life span was also affected. Although I found a lot of longevity pills, I can't extend it for too long."
After a pause, she continued, "My aunt has never been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. Their life spans have come to an end. I have sealed them in a secret place to keep them alive. I hope a miracle will happen."
After saying that, she looked at Chen Lin expectantly and said, "Dad should have been promoted to the Spiritual Transformation Realm by now, is there any good solution?"
Chen Lin took a deep breath.
A huge stone fell from my heart.
As long as people are still alive, it's easy.
"What about the others? Who came here with you? How are they doing?"
