Chapter 2302: Why is the Visiting Group All Monks and Taoists?_1 “Brother Chen, do you travel alone, without any guards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong replied, “I will bring one guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought I’d be a cultivation failure, stuck in the Hollow Void stage and unable to advance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although my guard is stronger than I am, that’s about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If real trouble arises, it would be good enough if they can carry me and run away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong didn’t elaborate, but Lin Chen understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong might feel that their combined strength was formidable, so he took the initiative to make friends, in case they encounter any difficulty along the way and need a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the meaning behind his saying that having more friends opens more paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen wasn’t opposed to this, after all, there are no unfounded hatreds, nor are there any loves without reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why wouldn’t he want to learn about the situation in the Northern Sea through Chen Youdong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they were chatting, a thunderous beast roar suddenly came from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen turned his head and looked out through the spacious window, only to see a large procession appearing on the horizon, swiftly approaching them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine azure Qilin were pulling an immensely elaborate carriage, gliding smoothly and swiftly, with numerous handmaids dressed as female attendants surrounding the carriage, riding the winds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front and behind the carriage were many knights mounted on flying lions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These knights were uniformly dressed and emitted an extremely formidable aura, making their powerful strength apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They seemed like guards for the person in the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hissing sound was coming from the azure Qilin pulling the carriage; they were exhaling their breath as they pulled the carriage in rapid flight, quickly arriving above Hai Ling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage stopped in the air right in front of Lin Chen and the others, then descended toward the center of the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh, it looks like they’re heading for this inn, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong, seemingly unfazed, laughed and said, “This is the best inn in the whole of Hai Ling City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given their grand entrance, they obviously come from a significant background.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they intend to stay the night here, it’s very likely that they will choose this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, it’s normal to bump into anyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen scanned everyone and said in puzzlement, “There are no insignias of any powers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They must have deliberately concealed them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong explained with a smile, “Not everyone likes to reveal their identity when they travel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While showing your identity may reduce some troubles, it could also attract many unknown problems.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, the entourage had completely settled down in the spacious courtyard of the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The azure Qilins were led away to a shelter for demonic beasts, and a young woman stepped down from the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman, draped in a gauze skirt, had her face covered with white gauze, which clearly had a veiling spell on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One could vaguely see some features through it, but not clearly, creating a sense of seeing flowers through fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was certain that she was a beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That figure, that temperamento, and that face shape—to say that she wasn’t beautiful would be absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handmaids quickly led the woman veiled in gauze into a separate courtyard, while the accompanying guards dispersed to various locations, securing the entire yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extent of their vigilance suggested that not even a fly could get through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just one look and you can tell it’s a wealthy family’s young miss traveling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of those guards looks strong and fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the handmaids are not to be trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the strongest one is likely the leader of the guards…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong withdrew his gaze and laughed, “Those who come to Hai Ling City, apart from a few conducting local business, most are looking to take the ship to the Northern Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sea King will depart tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this group will be passengers on the Sea King as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen casually asked, “How many people can the Sea King carry?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong laughed, “Around two thousand or so for guests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the crew members, guards, and many service personnel, there must be at least three to four thousand people on the ship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, another giant ship suddenly arrived in the sky, hovering above the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A troop of guards flew out from the giant ship and formed neat lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a large crowd appeared, protected and escorted by all the guards as they made their way towards the inn below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Monks, Taoists?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen looked at the group of people surrounded by the guards in the middle, his eyes slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong replied, “They must be the visiting delegation I spoke of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s precisely because they are traveling that the Sea King’s voyage was scheduled, allowing us to catch a ride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, we would have to bide our time for an ‘A’ grade ship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Cloud curiously asked, “A visiting delegation, why are they all monks and Taoists?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Youdong chuckled, “Maybe it’s a matter of religious affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there are many sects in Eastern Brilliance, only Buddhism, Taoism, and the Dragon Mountain Sect have truly established their scale and influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Northern Sea is inhabited by the Sea Tribe, who worships the Sea God Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sects often engage in various exchanges, contests, and activities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closer inspection, Lin Chen noticed that the bald were naturally Buddhists, but the remaining Taoists, wearing Taoist robes and hairpins, were divided into two types of attire: one in blue robes and one in black robes, representing Taoism and the Dragon Mountain Sect respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “It seems like this trip on the ship won’t be lacking in honored guests.”\u003C\u002Fp>",982,"2026-06-06T01:52:28.839Z",1,"novelbin.me","2b758459c9600bc455e77bbef9d11f75759136680fd5963f8c1ecf7ccac46233","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2283","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-2281",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
