2. After Rebirth, I No Longer Wanted to Be A Cannon Fodder

528. It Is Coincidental (2)

Mu Chen looked towards Ling Chuan next to Qu Kun and understood that the grandfather Ye Shi was talking about was Ling Chuan, not Qu Kun.

Bai Chenxing and Ling Chuan need to join forces, and it must be a Martial Sage. Now that the Alchemy Tower lost a Martial Sage, they must be heartbreaking.

"The people from Alchemy Tower have come?" Mu Chen asked.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes! Alchemy Weapon Pavilion and Alchemy Valley have also come, but they have all left."

Mu Chen frowned and said, "They have all left?"

"Yes! They were in a hurry. We also need to hurry up. The most valuable place in the ruins of Alchemy Palace is a palace with five entrances surrounding it. In the Holy Pill Tower at the center of the Alchemy Palace, there may be a ninth-level alchemy book. Alchemy Tower, Alchemy Valley, and Alchemy Weapon Pavilion are all determined to obtain that alchemy book this time."

"According to what I heard, as long as you understand the sixth stone tablet, you can open the entrance. The people from the other factions have already left before." Ling Chuan added.

Mu Chen had already comprehended over six stone tablets, but he had been contemplating others all this time, and no one disturbed him.

"We have fallen behind. We need to be fast," Ye Shi pondered and said.

Mu Chen nodded and said, "Okay."

Although he only comprehended nine stone tablets, the Spirit Tower had recorded all the contents of the stone tablets, so all he needed to do was to enter the Spirit Tower if he wanted to comprehend the content of the later stone tablets.

Mu Chen saw Ling Chuan reach out to hold Qu Kun's hand, but Qu Kun impatiently slapped away Ling Chuan's hand. Ling Chuan reached out again, and Qu Kun slapped it away again...

Ling Chuan persisted in holding Qu Kun's hand, allowing Qu Kun to hit him. After walking for a while, Qu Kun stopped, probably because he was tired, his face turning red.

Mu Chen looked at Ling Chuan and Qu Kun holding hands and thought quietly to himself, "This man has no shame, which was also the only reason he might get what he wanted."

...

The group from Alchemy Weapon Pavilion.

"Grandfather, how could Mr. Bai suddenly become Ling Chuan's grandson? It's so strange," Jing Ming couldn't help but murmur.

Jing Lifeng nodded with a sigh and said, "It is indeed hard to imagine."

Compared to the Fate Clan, the influence of the Bai family might be smaller. But what if the Bai family joined forces with the Ling family?

That would be two enormous forces! If these two families joined forces, their power would be so influential that the Fate Clan would be intimated.

"There are rumors that Ling Chuan slept with a versatile in the secret realm and couldn't forget about him. For so many years, he has been searching for him. Some also say that Ling Chuan had a fantasy in the secret realm and has gone mad, mistaking the illusion for reality. For so many years, he has been single for just an illusion," Jing Lifeng said.

Alchemy Weapon Pavilion operated openly in the business of pill refining and weapon forging, but secretly also traded in information, so they were well-informed.

Jing Ming suddenly widened his eyes and said, "Grandfather, are you saying that Qu Kun is the man who once slept with Ling Chuan in the secret realm?"

Jing Lifeng nodded and said, "That seems to be the only explanation."

When Ling Chuan took action, Bai Chenxing showed no surprise. If there were no special reasons, why would Bai Chenxing trust Ling Chuan so much?

"This is too coincidental," Jing Ming said, frowning.

Jing Lifeng took a deep breath and said, "There are no coincidences in life, only destined fates."

If his guess was correct, then not only was Bai Yanxing Bai Chenxing's son, but also Ling Chuan's grandson. With this relationship, Ling Chuan had to help.

Qu Quan kept his head down and remained silent. The opportunity to enter the Alchemy Palace was fought hard by the clan for him, and it must not be wasted. Seeing Bai Chenxing and Ling Chuan's fighting, Qu Quan deeply realized his insignificance.

...

The group from Alchemy Valley.

Dan Chen frowned and couldn't help but say, "I can't believe Senior Ling chose to go with the Bai family."

Dan Hong smiled helplessly and said, "Senior Ling's lover, son-in-law, grandson, and grandson-in-law are all in the Bai family. If he didn't stay there, would he stay in our team?"

Dan Chen furrowed his brows and said, "How did Senior Bai become Senior Ling's son-in-law?"

Dan Hong chuckled and said, "It's quite unexpected!"

Bai Chenxing and Senior Ling were both talented geniuses in the Zhongzhou, but one specialized in formations while the other excelled in refining artifacts. They didn't have much connection, so it seemed unlikely for them to be associated with each other. However, life works in mysterious ways.

"The person who provoked Senior Bai previously, who was it? I've never heard of him before, but he's really powerful." Dan Chen couldn't help but mutter.

Dan Hong narrowed his eyes. Many of the people who came with Alchemy Tower this time seemed suspicious.

"It's probably some hidden expert," Dan Hong said. That person was really unlucky. He was a Martial Sage. With that level of strength, he would be powerful wherever he went. Unfortunately, he was ambushed by Ling Chuan and later killed by Bai Chenxing.

Although that person died, it was a good thing for them.

Alchemy Tower had the most people in the secret realm this time, and several of them had unknown backgrounds. One person could be a Martial Sage. Who knew how powerful the others were.

One dead man was not enough. It would be safer if they all could die.
