Chapter 3778: Chapter 3778: Ancient Wine God Sect (Third Update)

In the next instant, Lin Rutian’s eyes gleamed brightly as he gathered his smile and said, "As long as this journey goes smoothly, even if the people of the Dark Domain know where I, Lin Rutian, came from today and where I’m going, what does it matter?"

Then, he savored the Spiritual Tea in his cup and said, "Moreover, I know that Young Master Ye is a smart man. To gain my support, he took the risk of making this trip. So why would he let the news slip afterwards? My death would not benefit you."

And I also believe that Young Master Ye being alive is far more helpful to me than him being dead."

Ye Chen stared at Lin Rutian for a moment before smiling and downing the Spiritual Tea in his cup in one gulp.

The reason he asked Lin Rutian was his worry that after Lin Rutian achieved his goal, he would turn on him!

After all, only the dead can forever keep a secret, right?

Yet now, it appears that killing him doesn’t offer Lin Rutian great benefits.

Ye Chen stood up and walked toward the door, saying lightly, "Young Master Lin’s insight is indeed sharp. Trying to kill me would come at a price; even given Young Master Lin’s background, it might be difficult to bear."

Lin Rutian was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head with a smile. Was he being threatened?

It appears he had somewhat underestimated this Young Master Ye.

Lin Rutian slowly put down his teacup and glanced at the sweat on his palm, his eyes flickering slightly with an expression of bewilderment on his face, murmuring softly, "In just a few days of not seeing him, why has this Young Master Ye become so much more pressuring?"

As the young master of Jiuqing Mountain, having lived for so many years, Lin Rutian naturally couldn’t be a mediocre person. Since childhood, he has been extremely sensitive to danger!

Even though the Annihilation Spirit Stone makes it impossible to sense the opponent’s specific strength, if anything threatens his life, Lin Rutian’s body would autonomously react!

He looked up in the direction Ye Chen had left, his heartbeat gradually accelerating, even his gaze was slightly shaken...

If he had made any wrong decisions earlier, perhaps this Young Master Ye would indeed have taken action and killed him...

Three days later, the flying ship suddenly descended, heading downward.

Soon, Lin Rutian, Elder Jun, and Ye Chen arrived amidst a mountain range.

Looking at the towering mountains before him, Lin Rutian said, "Next, we must proceed on foot. This mountain range is shrouded by a formation; traveling by flying ship will never reach where we intend to go."

Ye Chen nodded, and the three began to walk into the mountain.

Along the way, Lin Rutian’s pace wasn’t quick; it was rather slow!

Yet Ye Chen noticed that Lin Rutian’s footsteps were distinctly different!

His steps seemed to carry a certain strange rhythm, as if aligning with specific positions...

It appears that passing through this formation requires more than just walking; a particular manner of stepping is needed!

After walking for half the day, suddenly, the scenery before the three changed—the mountain rocks, the woods, all dissipated like green smoke, replaced by a grand mansion!

A benevolent-looking middle-aged man stood before the mansion, bowing to Lin Rutian and saying, "Young Master Lin, you have arrived? The family head has been expecting you for some time."

Lin Rutian glanced at the mansion before him and asked the middle-aged man, "Steward Chen, why does this entry feel faster than usual?"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "This Shifting Shadow Array adjusts its position every so often, hence it might differ from the steps you took in previous visits."

Lin Rutian nodded, "So that’s how it is."

In the next moment, he led Ye Chen and Elder Jun into the grand mansion.

Soon, under Steward Chen’s guidance, the three arrived at the banquet hall, where a dignified, tall, and robust middle-aged man in a red robe was seated on the main seat.

The middle-aged man, upon seeing Lin Rutian, approached with a smile and said, "Young Master Lin, long time no see. Please, have a seat."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Chen and Elder Jun behind Lin Rutian, and asked with a subtle expression, "And who is this young man here?"

Lin Rutian smiled faintly, "Just my friend. I trust you have been well, Chen Family Master."

Ye Chen glanced at the Chen Family Master; his height seemed to exceed two and a half meters!

At that moment, the table was already laden with sumptuous food and drink. After the group was seated according to status, the red-robed Chen Family Master picked up a glass of wine and offered it to Lin Rutian, saying, "Young Master Lin, if this grand enterprise succeeds, surely you’ll secure the position of the next sect master of Jiuqing Mountain.

Chen first offers a toast, congratulating you on your meteoric rise in Netherworld, and throughout the Dark Domain, to make a grand impact!"

After saying this, he drained the spirit wine in his glass!

Having finished his drink, the Chen Family Master looked at Lin Rutian with a puzzled expression and asked, "Young Master Lin, why? Does the food and drink not suit your taste?"

At this moment, Lin Rutian gazed at the wine in his cup, akin to purple jade, but his expression was blank as if lost in thought.

For a moment, the hall fell into an eerie silence...

Ye Chen’s gaze flickered, his spiritual energy secretly coursing through his body, ready to act at any moment.

But just then, Lin Rutian lifted his head, looked at the Chen Family Master, and grinned, "Chen Family Master, what we agreed upon last time wasn’t like this."

"Huh?" The Chen Family Master furrowed his brow slightly, "Young Master Lin, what do you mean?"

Lin Rutian suddenly flipped his wrist, revealing a dark wine jug in his palm. He stared at the Chen Family Master and said, "This wine is Red Cloud Jade Brew from the Ancient Wine God Sect. Chen Family Master, known for your love of wine, had requested this last visit, insisting I bring a jug next time.

Now, why has the Chen Family Master prepared the drinks himself? Didn’t I prepare this Red Cloud Jade Brew in vain?"

Ye Chen, hearing this, squinted his eyes slightly. The Ancient Wine God Sect is renowned for its wine, and the spirits they craft are regarded as alluring nectar, far surpassing ordinary spirit wines!

And it’s the most beloved wine among the elite and aristocratic descendents of the Dark Domain!

Their mastery in winemaking has long been lost, so each cask of spirit wine from the Wine God Sect possesses immeasurable value!

Furthermore, Red Cloud Jade Brew is a rather High-level spirit wine even within the Ancient Wine God Sect!

Additionally, the spirit wines brewed by the Wine God Sect have a unique trait: it’s impossible to poison them!

Any toxin mixed into the Wine God Sect’s spirit wines would turn the entire cask of exquisite wine into rancid sewage!
