Maxing Out Magic Resistance? Sorry, I'll Physically Transcend You!

You have to understand, when Master Huiming faced the strange beasts and ghosts back then, he couldn't defeat them and fled down the mountain. If the Evil Cultivator behind them had made a move, Master Huiming would likely be dead already.

Why did the other party let Master Huiming escape?

You have to realize that Master Huiming's escape would attract more Cultivators, even the Demon Suppression Division. Weren't those two Evil Cultivators afraid?

Lin Chen looked at the silent Masters Yi Jie and the other, then smiled calmly, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Once we find the person behind this, everything will naturally become clear!"

"Lin benefactor speaks wisely." Masters Yi Jie and the other nodded slightly.

After eating their fill and drinking their fill, the group of three drove up the mountain. After nearly two hours of driving, they finally arrived outside Frost Rock Village.

"This is Frost Rock Village. It's named after the large stone at the village entrance, which gets covered in frost flowers every late autumn," Master Huiming said, looking at the smooth stone at the village entrance as he introduced it to Lin Chen and Master Yi Jie.

Lin Chen nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the mountain village with wisps of cooking smoke. His expression, however, tensed. Even before truly entering the village, he could feel a not-weak ghostly aura emanating from within.

You have to realize, it's midday right now, and such a distinct ghostly aura is incredibly abnormal.

Even Tumen Village before, it relied on the mist for the ghosts to appear during the day. This Frost Rock Village is probably even more bizarre than Tumen Village.

"Lin benefactor, did you notice anything?" Master Yi Jie looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's expression tensed, and he slowly said, "There's a ghostly aura!"

"A ghostly aura at this time of day, this is indeed the strange part about Frost Rock Village!" Master Huiming said with a solemn expression.

"Whatever strange it is, we'll just destroy it!" Lin Chen sneered coldly, then walked directly into the village.

Seeing this, Master Huiming couldn't help but glance at Master Yi Jie beside him, thinking, Is Lin Chen really this fierce?

"Lin benefactor's strength is great, and his methods are a bit intense!" Master Yi Jie explained.

Hearing this, Master Huiming said nothing more. The Buddhist sect also has wrathful deities, subduing demons and eliminating evil. As long as one has enough strength, being a bit hot-tempered is not a big deal.

Immediately, Master Yi Jie and Master Huiming quickly followed Lin Chen into Frost Rock Village. As soon as they entered, they saw three monks wandering on the road.

"Master Huiming, are you sure your fellow disciples were here to scout the situation first?" Lin Chen looked at Master Huiming beside him. The three monks currently looked more like village ruffians than any esteemed monks.

Master Huiming's face flushed slightly upon hearing this. He hadn't expected his three fellow disciples, who had arrived earlier to scout, to be so leisurely.

"Junior disciple Huitong!" Master Huiming called out loudly.

"Senior disciple Huiming!"

Hearing Master Huiming's voice, the three monks turned around and hurried towards Lin Chen and the other two.

"Lin benefactor, allow me to introduce them. This is Huitong, Hui Chen, and San Jie," Master Yi Jie said, introducing them to Lin Chen.

Seeing this, Huitong and the other two clasped their hands together, "Greetings, Lin benefactor!"

"What's going on with you three? Didn't I ask you to come investigate the situation? Why are you just hanging around the village entrance?" Huitong said with a grim expression.

"Senior disciple Huiming, you don't know the situation," Master Huitong said with a wry smile, then said solemnly, "After we arrived at Frost Rock Village, we immediately tried to investigate starting with the villagers, but we didn't expect..."

As Master Huitong described, Lin Chen and the other two's expressions became solemn. It wasn't that Huitong and the other two hadn't investigated or didn't want to investigate, but the villagers were extremely resistant, leaving them with no way to start.

Originally, since they couldn't get any information from the villagers, they planned to approach it from other directions. However, when they went to investigate places with strong ghostly auras, they were blocked by the villagers and not allowed to enter.

Huitong and the other two were Cultivators and also monks, unable to attack ordinary people. Therefore, the investigation fell into a deadlock, and they could only wander around the village looking for clues until Lin Chen and the other two arrived.

Master Huiming raised an eyebrow and said solemnly, "Why are the villagers here so resistant to outsiders? They even prevent us from investigating?"

"Could it be that the strangeness of Frost Rock Village is related to the village itself?" Master Yi Jie frowned.

From Master Huitong's words, the villagers of Frost Rock Village were not just being resistant; it was more like they didn't want them to investigate the strange aspects of the village. This made it hard not to suspect that these villagers knew about the village's strangeness, and were even involved!

"They don't let us investigate, so we won't investigate? What can we find out like this?" Lin Chen rolled his eyes at everyone, then walked towards the area with the strong ghostly aura.

"Let's follow. Since we're here, are we going to leave empty-handed? Are we going to watch these villagers die in vain?" Master Huiming said, looking at Huitong and the other three beside him.

The group of five followed Lin Chen without hesitation and soon arrived at the place with the strong ghostly aura, which turned out to be an ancient well.

"Such a dense ghostly aura!"

Sensing the ghostly aura from within the ancient well, Lin Chen's brow twitched slightly, and he was about to step forward to investigate. Just then, an old man quickly stepped forward.

"Outsiders, that is the ancient well passed down through generations of our Frost Rock Village. Outsiders are not allowed to approach!" the old man said coldly.

Lin Chen looked at the old man with disdain, "Old man, you want me not to approach, so I won't? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for me!"

"As a monk, how dare you speak such presumptuous words?" the old man said angrily.

Lin Chen's face darkened, and he said indifferently, "Hey~ Which eye of yours saw that I'm a monk? I clearly have hair, I'm not a bald donkey, alright!"

Bald donkey?

Masters Yi Jie and the other five twitched their mouths. We're teammates, is it really okay for you to hurt your teammates like this?

Looking at the thick, black hair on Lin Chen's head, the old man clearly paused, then shouted at the top of his lungs, "I don't care if you're a monk or not, everyone hurry, someone is trying to destroy our feng shui well!"

As the old man's voice spread, five or six more elderly people immediately rushed over and lay down on the ground in front of Lin Chen.

"I don't want to live anymore!"

"There's no justice! They're stealing our feng shui well and trying to kill us!"

"If you have the guts, kill us!"

Looking at the old people rolling around on the ground, crying, making a fuss, and acting... Lin Chen's mouth twitched. At this moment, he finally understood why Huitong and the other three had returned without success earlier.

These damn old people with maxed-out magic resistance are even harder to deal with than those delinquent "Ghost Fire" teens!

"Shut up!"

Lin Chen roared, startling the crying old folks. "Do you know I'm the best at Physical Salvation?"

"Come on, come on, save me! Come over here!" an old man walked up to Lin Chen, sticking his head near Lin Chen's hand and pointing at his own head, yelling.

Master Huitong saw this and couldn't help but shake his head. "Benefactor Lin, doing this will only escalate the conflict!"

They dared not lay hands on the elderly. If anything unexpected happened, it wouldn't just be them; Vajra Temple's reputation would be ruined too! Although Lin Chen was powerful, he was ultimately too young. Facing this kind of situation with such a hard line would only be counterproductive!
