Chapter 291 – The Ambush of Shadow Soul Hall The crowd was utterly confused. Lin Jichen glanced at his teleportation talisman, which had also failed. It's over! At this moment, more and more black-robed figures appeared, nearly a hundred of them surrounding Lin Jichen and his group. Lin Jichen's expression was extremely grave. These black-robed people looked very familiar. He had seen them twice before: once when Ji Tongyin was being chased, and once when the Sword Sect was besieged in the Land of Sealing Demons. Shadow Soul Hall! Lin Jichen never expected to encounter people from the Shadow Soul Hall here. Should he say his luck was really "great"? "Sect Leader Leng Feiyan's direct disciple, I never thought that the nameless wild boy from the Land of Sealing Demons would have a higher status than your Senior Brother. It seems our Shadow Soul Hall has found a treasure this time... Hehe..." A woman in a purple dress walked out from the black robes. Her attire was bold, her appearance enchanting, but her cultivation was unfathomable. Seeing her, Lin Jichen's heart sank even further. He had seen this woman before; it was Luo Muxian, who had fought with Chu Tianhan in the Land of Sealing Demons and almost killed him. This female demon left a deep impression on Lin Jichen. Moreover, Luo Muxian had only been at the peak of the Golden Elixir stage back then. Now, she had stepped into the Gathering Spirit Realm! Lin Jichen's heart sank completely. If she decided to act, everyone here, including himself, would be doomed. Luo Muxian walked closer, carefully examining Lin Jichen, then suddenly chuckled and smiled seductively. "Such a handsome young man, no wonder women like you. Could it be that Sect Leader Leng took you as a disciple because of your looks? She really has good taste." As she spoke, Luo Muxian raised her jade-like hand and boldly touched Lin Jichen's face. This blatant act of taking advantage was clearly a form of teasing. Lin Jichen slapped her hand away and said coldly, "Demoness, what do you want?" At other times, he could admit defeat and endure, but when someone mocked his master, Lin Jichen would never show a good face. Moreover, the Shadow Soul Hall was a demonic sect that had killed many disciples of the Sword Sect, making them mortal enemies. As Leng Feiyan's disciple, he could never bow his head. Lin Jichen was overjoyed and immediately told Su Wanling and the others, "Tear your teleportation talismans now and return to the sect!" "Lin Jichen, what about you?" Su Wanling asked anxiously. Lin Jichen gave her a subtle look, "I'll go with them. Whether you stay or leave won't change anything and will only result in unnecessary deaths. Go quickly." Su Wanling seemed to understand Lin Jichen's look and nodded, "Alright, take care." After speaking, Su Wanling took out her teleportation talisman and found it usable. Without hesitation, she tore the talisman, and her figure disappeared. The others followed suit. Who would stay and wait for death? Although it seemed like there was a hidden quest, damn it, you needed the ability to complete it. Even Lin Jichen had given up resisting; what could they do by rushing in? Once everyone had left, Lin Jichen finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least this task was completed. "I've met your condition. Now, let's go to the Shadow Soul Hall. I'll make sure you're well taken care of," Luo Muxian made a gesture of invitation and handed over a teleportation talisman for the Shadow Soul Hall. Lin Jichen took the talisman but didn't tear it immediately. Instead, he asked, "I have a question. How did you know I was in Storm Valley and even knew my identity?" Luo Muxian replied slyly, "You don't need to know that. We received intelligence that Sect Leader Leng's direct disciple was in Storm Valley, so I came. From now on, you'll be a guest of the Shadow Soul Hall. As long as you cooperate, we won't make things difficult for you." Lin Jichen's eyes flickered. Although Luo Muxian didn't answer directly, her words implied that someone had betrayed him and informed the Shadow Soul Hall. Leading a training team was something NPCs couldn't possibly know. The only possibility was that an NPC had betrayed him, and it had to be someone from the Sword Sect. There was only one person in the Sword Sect who had a grudge against him. But he had no evidence and couldn't be sure it was him. "Alright, stop wasting time. If you're trying to stall, don't blame me for being rude," Luo Muxian's tone grew impatient. Lin Jichen sighed in resignation and took out the teleportation talisman for the Shadow Soul Hall. Just as he was about to tear it, his eyes lit up, and his face filled with joy. He shouted into the distance, "Master! You're here!"
