After Defying the Villain's Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!-Chapter 340 - The Adventures of Lu Lin

Chapter 340: The Adventures of Lu Lin

Soon, the task of finding ‘unknown menial disciples’ appeared in the Jiuyan Sect’s mission hall.

Seemingly understanding their Old Ancestor’s intentions, not only did the Jiuyan Sect disciples take on the task, but even the various Peak Masters also accepted the mission and set out one after another.

In just half a day, the Jiuyan Sect, which was originally bustling, suddenly had sixty percent of its people go out, and it became much quieter.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Jiuyan Sect really did have a menial disciple who had been out for many days and not returned.

And this person was Lu Lin.

That afternoon, Lu Lin, dirty and disheveled with tattered clothes, appeared at the gates of the Jiuyan Sect.

Looking at the sect gates before him and the disciples leaving one after another, he was moved to tears!

“I’m back, I’m finally back...” Lu Lin kept muttering to himself.

Before the Alchemy Conference, he had actually been in the Jiuyan Sect.

After learning that he was the Human Sacred Body and that he was at the top of the Heaven’s Pride Ranking, Lu Lin began to doubt his life.

He wondered if there was another person in the world with the same name and surname as him.

Otherwise, how could he not know that he was the Human Sacred Body?

And from the rumors, after learning that Jiang Chen liked to use the name Lu Lin, he finally understood.

It turned out that on the day when the people of Ninth Peak went to the main peak, although they claimed to be ‘saving Lu Lin’, they were actually rescuing Jiang Chen.

The Billowing Clouds Sect being labeled as a Demonic Sect was also under the pretext of ‘looking for Lu Lin’, which was actually searching for Jiang Chen.

It turned out... from beginning to end, he had no presence in the Jiuyan Sect!

Although depressed, Lu Lin finally came to terms with it.

At least he no longer had to doubt his life or question whether his name was “Who are you?”

After that, Lu Lin became much calmer.

Perhaps because of the change in his mindset, or maybe for other reasons, his cultivation began to increase at an extremely fast pace.

In just a few months, he went from a lower four realms cultivator to the Core Formation realm, and specifically, the Human Origin realm.

This made Lu Lin extremely excited, and he practiced even more diligently, feeling that he might also have a day of rising and looking forward to it.

Until that day.

That day, the Jiuyan Sect Sect Master, Gu Changqing, led most of the sect’s disciples to the Alchemy Conference.

As the disciples of Ninth Peak were all going, Lu Lin, as a menial disciple of Ninth Peak, naturally was no exception.

But he was forgotten!

Before he could board the spirit boat, the spirit boat had already soared away, leaving him alone disheveled in the wind.

Being forgotten wasn’t a big deal. After all, he was used to such things.

But the problem was before leaving, Gu Changqing had issued a Sect Master’s order that all disciples of the Ninth Peak must attend the Alchemy Conference!

Lu Lin dared not defy the Sect Master’s order.

In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and, with his Core Formation cultivation, trek thousands of li alone to the Alchemy Conference.

Although a Core Formation cultivator’s pace isn’t slow, it still took him many days to barely reach the border of the Ancient Pill Tower.

Along the way, he encountered numerous hardships.

Since it was his first time traveling far, he wasn’t familiar with the route to the Ancient Pill Tower and had to ask other cultivators for directions.

But many people treated him as if he were invisible.

When he finally managed to catch the attention of a few cultivators and introduced himself as ‘Lu Lin’.

“You’re Jiang Chen?!” the cultivators exclaimed in shock.

Then... they beat him up.

After beating him, they scoffed, “You’re a fake! You? Lu Lin? The Human Sacred Body? First on the Heaven’s Pride Ranking? Who do you think you are, impersonating Jiang Chen?”

Similar incidents happened one after another.

This made Lu Lin too scared to introduce himself when asking for directions.

Even so, he was still beaten up...

This time, the reason was:

“This person is wearing the Jiuyan Demonic Sect’s robe! People of the Demonic Sect must be eliminated!”

Helplessly, Lu Lin had to change his clothes and started running whenever he saw someone, once again questioning his life.

When he finally entered the border of the Ancient Pill Tower, exhausted in body and spirit, thinking he could soon reunite with his “family.”

The Alchemy Conference had already ended.

The Jiuyan Sect’s spirit boats returned, flying over his head.

He was both excited and horrified, but before he could shout or throw himself into his “family’s” arms.

The roar of spirit cannons sounded.

(TLN: Chapter 335 – Jiang Chen: ‘Zhang Hu, target that person, fire!’)

His “family” above him bombarded him with spirit cannons, forcing him to flee in panic, covered in dust and his clothes in tatters!

And when he tried to reveal his identity, his own people had already disappeared on the spirit boat.

He could faintly hear Jiang Chen’s carefree laughter...

Lu Lin felt that he couldn’t blame his sect.

After all, he did have a low presence, and he wasn’t wearing the Jiuyan Sect uniform when the incident happened.

Still, anyone would feel depressed.

In the end... After several more trials, Lu Lin finally returned to the Jiuyan Sect.

It was because he remembered all that had happened before that he was moved to tears and couldn’t help himself!

Seeing many sect members leaving, Lu Lin guessed something big must have happened.

He stopped one of them and asked, “Senior Brother, where are you heading?”

“What the heck, who are you?” The person he stopped was startled, not having noticed Lu Lin’s presence.

Seeing that Lu Lin wasn’t wearing the Jiuyan Sect uniform and appeared normal, the stopped cultivator realized, “Oh, you’re an outsider. We are following the sect’s orders and are preparing to go out on a mission.”

In reality, the Jiuyan Sect disciples knew about Old Ancestor Jiuyan’s plans, but they wouldn’t tell the truth to an ‘outsider.’

Being considered an outsider added to Lu Lin’s frustration.

Before he could ask more, he heard the stopped disciple say, “Hey, our sect has a menial disciple who has been missing for many days. The Old Ancestor and Sect Master are quite worried, so they sent us to look for him.”

Lu Lin’s body trembled!

Menial disciple? Missing for many days? Wasn’t that referring to him?

Worried he was overthinking, Lu Lin quickly asked, “Senior Brother, do you know the name of that menial disciple?”

“If it’s a menial disciple, who would know the name? Huh? You ask so many questions, are you a spy sent by the Buddha Temple or the Seven Luminaries Sword Pavilion?” The stopped cultivator looked at him suspiciously.

Lu Lin chose to ignore the latter part of the statement.

He looked up at the sky, sighing.

If the sect was looking for ‘Lu Lin’, he wouldn’t be so excited, as past experiences had proven such matters had nothing to do with him.

But if it was a nameless one, then it was undoubtedly himself!

After all, he was the one with such a low presence that no one even remembered his name!

“Indeed, the sect hasn’t forgotten me. They’ve gone to such lengths for a mere menial disciple like me. I have no regrets about joining the Jiuyan Sect in this life!” Lu Lin thought emotionally.

After his reflection, he was startled again.

Perhaps because he hadn’t responded for a while.

The expression of the stopped cultivator became more suspicious, and he even called over a few fellow disciples who were also preparing to go out, surrounding Lu Lin, all ready to make a move!

“Senior Brothers, this is a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding, I am...” Lu Lin hurriedly tried to explain.

Worried that explanations wouldn’t work, he even prepared to take out his identity token to clarify.

But before he could finish, a voice filled with excitement and joy suddenly rang out from behind.

“Let go of that normal person! Let me do it!!”
