on this entire continent know where the Soul Separation Sect is located?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are there no disciples of the Soul Separation Sect willing to earn these ten million spirit stones?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or, did they not see it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even this can’t get me any information on the Soul Separation Sect, how am I supposed to find it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when Lin Chen was feeling a bit anxious, the messaging stone suddenly made a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sir, we received a report from our branch in Bai Yuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps you might be interested…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked expectantly: “Has someone taken on the task?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That is indeed the case, but this particular individual does not know the exact location of the Soul Separation Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was somewhat puzzled: “Then what’s the situation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“While this person does not know the location of the Soul Separation Sect, he has entered the sect before and even lived there for a period of time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly lit up: “Where is he now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He is currently at the Bai Yuan City branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you need him, I can ask my colleague to hold him until you get there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, you can also ask him to come to you, but you might have to offer some additional reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen replied cleanly and crisely: “I’ll go there directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place is Domain Gate City, located on the edge of the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Light Desert is situated in the middle of the continent, so he had to leave this place and head for the continental center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When you arrive at Bai Yuan City, just go to the branch of the Adventurers’ Association and present your task card.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having figured out the location of Bai Yuan City, Lin Chen boarded a commercial flying boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It might be a bit slow, but safety first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His journey went without incident and Lin Chen arrived safely at Bai Yun City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then, thanks to the Adventurers’ Association’s aid, met the man who claimed to have been inside the Soul Separation Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was about thirty years old and wore a metal mask on his face, appearing quite mysterious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man appraised Lin Chen: “Are you the one looking for the Soul Separation Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded: “Yes, it’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man asked: “What are you looking for the Soul Separation Sect for?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen answered honestly: “Neither friend nor foe, I have a matter that requires their assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I couldn’t find the Soul Separation Sect, hence the reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disappointment flashed in the man’s eyes: “I thought you were an enemy of the Soul Separation Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Do you bear a grudge against the Soul Separation Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man shook his head: “Yes and no.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was actually quite curious about who was looking for the Soul Separation Sect, which is why I showed up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded: “Tell me what you know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will provide a sufficient reward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man sighed: “I don’t know the exact location of the Soul Separation Sect, but I can say for sure that it is located somewhere in the desert….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen queried lightly: “The Golden Light Desert?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was surprised and his eyes widened: “You know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded: “Only this much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I’ve seen a map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Light Desert covers a vast territory and trying to find a hidden sect among it all will not be easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man nodded: “You’re absolutely right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, you wouldn’t be able to find it at all because the Soul Separation Sect is underground.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen’s eyes lit up: “Underneath the desert, it figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tell me about your experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe we can find some clues.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man nodded, not asking about the reward, and began: “Back when I crossed the Golden Light Desert, I was attacked by robbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fought my way out and barely escaped, but due to my severe injuries, I fainted in a canyon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I woke up, I found myself in an underground city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My wounds had been treated and my condition had improved dramatically.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought I had been rescued by kind-hearted people and was deeply grateful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I did not expect that they had not saved me out of kindness, but rather to make me a slave in the underground city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Being unable to resist, I had to survive as a slave, aiding in the daily refinement of spiritual qi to maintain the grand formation underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After about three years, during a grand ceremony of the sect, I managed to escape their inspection by using a refining magical treasure and escaped from the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they discovered me and began hunting me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it wasn’t for the huge sandstorm, I would have surely been killed by them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of the sandstorm, I completely lost my way in the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only after a close shave that I managed to escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked: “During these three years, were you always a slave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s tone became somewhat agitated as he lifted the mask from his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On his forehead and across his face were branding marks, identical in pattern, resembling a flying bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every slave has a brand like this on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These brands were made by the envoys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless I peel off my entire face, I can’t remove them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After I escaped, I was afraid that the people of the Soul Separation Sect would recognize me and kill me to keep their secret, so I’ve been wearing a mask ever since.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked: “From what you’ve said, can I infer that the Soul Separation Sect is a very evil organization?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s gaze was complicated: “The people of the Soul Separation Sect are all lunatics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are most adept at soul arts and have a deep fondness for researching souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those slaves who can’t hold on any longer eventually become their experimental subjects, living a life worse than death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve also created various terrifying soul monsters, immensely, powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They use these Soul Monsters to guard their sect and allegedly sell such soul beasts out, at exorbitant prices…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1039,"2026-06-06T01:52:14.914Z",1,"novelbin.me","ae261f1386390532457698f53235c31f9c8152d4c33e80947f689a0afe92c19b","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1765","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1763",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
