Why Don't I Believe It?

Jin Lin replied telepathically, "Senior Chen, you'll find out soon enough!"

Chen Lingling transmitted her voice, "You silly girl, you're still keeping me in suspense."

Li Wensong looked at Chen Lingling again and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, let me introduce ourselves. My full name is Li Wensong. I originally came from the Heavenly Fall Continent. Since meeting my Brother Lu, I have become his number one pawn! As for these two, they are my underlings, Qian Xiuzhu and Qian Mingjing."

He knew that Chen Lingling hadn't taken him seriously from the beginning, which was normal, since he was only at the Peak Sovereign Realm, and in the eyes of the Eternal Realm, he was only slightly stronger than an ant.

So now, he decisively brought Qian Xiuzhu and the others along to raise his own value.

Then, he looked at Lianxin and said, "Lianxin is my younger sister. The relationship between the four of us is more like that of colleagues."

After listening to Li Wensong's introduction, Chen Lingling was a little confused.

Is that your Brother Lu?

Number one chess piece?

What the heck?

And you four are colleagues?

Chen Lingling stared at Li Wensong and the others, then asked directly, "I don't quite understand. You're colleagues? What kind of colleagues?"

Li Wensong laughed and said, "They're all pawns of my Brother Lu."

Chen Lingling was even more confused by Li Wensong's words.

What the heck???

When Li Wensong said he was someone's pawn, she didn't think much of it. After all, he was just a Peak Sovereign Realm. There were plenty of people like that in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains. Almost any of the Seven or Eight Heavens Continents could find quite a few.

Even someone at the Eternal Realm can treat someone of this level as a pawn.

Now, Li Wensong is saying that Lianxin and the other two are also someone's pawns?

You must know, Lianxin is a Heavenly Dao at the Mid Eternal Realm!

This is no joke!

To possess a chess piece of this level of strength, wouldn't this "Brother Lu" that Li Wensong mentioned have to be at the Peak Eternal Realm?!

"Oh? That's a bit surprising. So, who is this Brother Lu you're talking about? What's his strength?" Chen Lingling asked tentatively.

Seeing that Chen Lingling decisively followed his lead and asked the question, Li Wensong laughed and said, "For someone to make us all willingly become pawns, then Brother Lu's strength must be at the Peak Eternal Realm."

Chen Lingling narrowed her eyes slightly.

Is he truly at the Peak Eternal Realm?

This star field isn't that big; could it be hiding a Peak Eternal Realm expert?

I've never heard of her before when she was here.

"Jin Lin, why are you with them too?" Chen Lingling looked at Jin Lin, and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Jin Lin knew it was time and said, "Senior Chen, I have already formed a contract with this Peak Eternal Realm expert; he is now my master."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingling immediately fell silent, her expression unchanged, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

But does it really have no impact?

If someone could see through her body to her heart, they would know the answer.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to form a contract with someone at the Peak Eternal Realm. This is quite a good fortuitous opportunity for you." A faint smile returned to Chen Lingling's face.

Jin Lin smiled wryly, "Senior Chen, you have been kind to me before! I should have consulted you before making the contract, but some things happened, and in the end, I made the decision to make the contract before you arrived. I hope you won't be angry."

Chen Lingling shook her head and smiled, "Why would I be angry? As long as you can become better, that's all that matters. By the way, how have you changed since you signed the contract?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Lin breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "I discovered that the continent my master created and I share the same origin. Now that I've merged with that continent, it has already reached the Middle Seventh Heaven, and there's hope for the Eighth Heaven, or even the Ninth Heaven!"

Chen Lingling's expression changed slightly.

Eighth Heaven, Ninth Heaven???

Li Wensong then interjected at the opportune moment, laughing, "Fellow Daoist Chen, do you know my Brother Lu?"

He needs to start putting in the effort!

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingling turned to Li Wensong and asked, "What's your Brother Lu's full name?"

"Lu Qing'an! Of course, this name may not be his real name. This is a portrait of my Brother Lu." Li Wensong explained the name and even used his cultivation to display Lu Qing'an's portrait.

Having done this, he stared intently at Chen Lingling 'Chen Lingling expression, trying to discern any change in it.

Strangely, after hearing the name and seeing the portrait, Chen Lingling still looked puzzled.

"Never heard of it, never seen it," Chen Lingling replied.

There aren't many Peak Eternal Realm experts in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains. Although she hasn't seen them all and doesn't know their real names, it's strange that she's suddenly encountered a Peak Eternal Realm she's never heard of or seen before.

Is he truly Peak Eternal Realm expert?

Li Wensong laughed and said, "It's normal that you don't recognize him. I imagine there aren't many people in the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains who have seen my Brother Lu!"

"Why?" Chen Lingling asked.

Peak Eternal Realm expert should have been seen by quite a few people.

This kind of expert is extremely powerful and famous throughout the region.

Of course, it's also possible that some people retire from public life after achieving great success.

Is this person one of them?

Li Wensong grinned crookedly. "Because my Brother Lu is Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect!"

After he said that, the surroundings suddenly fell silent; for a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

Chen Lingling felt that she had an exceptionally strong inner strength, and was not easily swayed by external gains or losses, making it difficult for her to experience significant emotional fluctuations.

Hearing Li Wensong's words, they were completely dumbfounded.

What did you say?

Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect?!

I've heard there are only two in the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains!

In this remote low-to-mid-level star field, I am about to encounter...???

"You're not kidding?" Chen Lingling asked.

After she finished asking that question, everyone present, including Jin Lin, shook their heads.

Seeing that Lianxin was also serious, Chen Lingling fell silent.

At this moment, she began to recall Li Wensong's earlier words.

All three Eternal Realm acknowledged that they were pawns, even Lianxin, a Mid Eternal Realm Heavenly Dao, was the same. So, it seems that this corresponds to a Peak Eternal Realm who controlled the Rule of Cause and Effect!

"I never imagined I'd get involved with such a powerful figure?" A smile appeared on Chen Lingling's face, and she became noticeably more polite when looking at Li Wensong and the others.

Regardless, if this is true, she can't afford to offend Li Wensong and the others!

That is, the Divine Continent...

She glanced at Jin Lin and sighed inwardly.

Seeing that Chen Lingling seemed somewhat convinced, Li Wensong knew it was time to move on to the next step. He smiled and said, "You've more than just gotten involved with Brother Lu; you, if nothing unexpected happens, are probably one of Brother Lu's pawns too. So, you should call me Brother Song too."

Chen Lingling's expression suddenly darkened.

I?

piece?

Calling you Brother Song???

"Fellow Daoist, isn't what you said a bit inappropriate?" Chen Lingling asked with a smile.

She appeared to be smiling, but she was actually unhappy inside.

The word "chess piece" is just so unpleasant to hear!

Even if the opponent is at the Peak Eternal Realm, it won't work, unless they are truly one of the Peak Eternal Realm who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect!

However, there is currently no evidence to prove that Lu Qing'an, whom Li Wensong mentioned, is indeed Lu Qing'an!

Li Wensong laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist, some things are not as simple as you think they are not. There is a powerful force that has already taken control of everything. As a Mid Eternal Realm expert, you must know better than anyone how terrifying a powerhouse who controls the Rule of Cause and Effect can be."

Chen Lingling smiled enigmatically, "Is he truly a Peak Eternal Realm expert who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect? Coincidentally, I know a senior at the Peak Eternal Realm who once mentioned knowing one of the Eternal Realm experts who has mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect. Perhaps I could try communicating with him and ask him?"
