Future_1 “Have you never left the Soul Separation Sect?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen circled about, holding a Magical Treasure, casually inspecting it while chatting with the shop’s waiter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I was chosen when I was eight years old by an Elder Uncle of the Soul Separation Sect in the village, who then gave a large sum of money to my parents and took me to the Soul Separation Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t left since then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “So, you’ve been here for quite a while, haven’t you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter’s eyes filled with misery and helplessness, “More than two hundred years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked up, his eyes showing a hint of sympathy, “How does it feel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter laughed, “Everyday is the same, what more could there be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restraint and evident reluctance dwelled within the waiter’s smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, he was far from satisfied with his present life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, “Don’t a lot of people here have wives and children?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter shook his head, “The Soul Separation Sect has far fewer female disciples than male ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they were to marry, they would choose disciples proven to be more capable, promising, or have greater possibilities of leaving here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would marry someone like me who has no future?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After cultivating for more than two hundred years, I’ve barely reached the peak of Foundation Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my talent, I am nothing more than the lowest-ranking member here, a tad bit higher than the slaves who have no freedom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyday, I can only comfort myself by thinking that it’s like living in a small village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are many people who spend their entire life in a small village, I’m just one of them…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked, “Do all of you want to leave?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who doesn’t want to go out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter’s eyes sparkled, his face revealed an expectant look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Apart from the core disciples and sect’s high-ranking members who have the privilege of going out, we are not qualified to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We have to spend our entire lives here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although I came here when I was eight and don’t have many memories of the outside world, I know that the world outside is not like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything here may seem no different from the outside, but they’re all fake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People like me are likely to spend their entire lives here and then die here without anyone knowing or caring about me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked a bit surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no special relationship with this waiter and had only interacted with him two or three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the waiter learned that he was an envoy from the Immortal Palace and came from the outside, the waiter’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that he had been suppressing his feelings for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People like him probably had no chance to get in touch with people and things from the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you afraid that others will discover what you’ve said?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter laughed, “Who here doesn’t want to leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I said, everyone is the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would care?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it’s the sect’s high-ranking members, they won’t care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a smirk, the waiter murmured, “Would a soaring hawk care about the complaints of ants on the ground?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen confirmed, “Most of the people here think that way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter nodded, “Look at how many people in this underground city are like me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them have some talent, but their talent is not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they can’t develop well, they’ll be eliminated and can only survive underground, unable to leave.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We even worry whether one day when we become a burden because there are too many of us, we might be dealt with directly or turned into slaves, and eventually die in the Array Formation…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, gaining some understanding of the current state of the Soul Separation Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, while he felt sympathetic, he had no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the Soul Separation Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Soul Separation Sect was so secretive about their sect’s location, it was obvious they would not allow these people to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if they revealed the sect’s location?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were chatting, a disciple from the Soul Separation Sect entered, and reverently said, “Special Envoy Lin, the Sect Master summons you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen put down the Magical Treasure in his hands, nodded to the waiter, “Live well, there’s always a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter glanced at the disciple of the Soul Separation Sect nearby, hesitated to speak, and simply nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen followed the disciple of the Soul Separation Sect towards the Main Hall, casually asked, “What does the Sect Master want from me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple shook his head, “I’m not sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just ordered to come and invite Special Envoy Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded, not saying anything more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he followed the disciple of the Soul Separation Sect into the Main Hall, he saw Gao Chen and others waiting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the last time, there was a new unfamiliar man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be the important person Gao Chen mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On seeing Lin Chen enter, Gao Chen smiled, “Special Envoy Lin, have you gotten used to living here these past few days?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen smiled, “The Underground City is definitely a new and good experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Grand Master Gao is truly thoughtful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, his gaze fell on the unfamiliar man, “I haven’t met this one before…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Chen smiled, “He is the high-ranking member of the sect that I mentioned before, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not an elder or a Hall Master, but addressed as Mr.?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He masked his surprise and smiled, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo, nice to meet you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wonder what’s the outcome of your discussions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should be able to get a definite answer now, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>",985,"2026-06-06T01:52:14.914Z",1,"novelbin.me","f46038e5070744bd99bfcc67ab27ad37ed26fed093ed333c8c8fb8b568ba0adc","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1772","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-1770",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
