Chapter 657: Disturbing
Black Water Taoist stammered as he provided everything he knew to Yan Shenjun, from Curator’s supernatural powers to the complete destruction of their cult. At this point, Lin Jin was already walking through the metal door of the Visitation Hall.
Truth be told, it wasn’t Lin Jin who slammed the door earlier. He just ran out of strength to keep it open. It was probably a defense mechanism that activated the moment he sensed Yan Shenjun’s profound immortal strength.
At the very least, Lin Jin suspected that this was the case.
Regardless, the moment the door creaked open just now, Lin Jin felt a wave of energy pouring out from the museum. Judging by the look on Yan Shenjun’s face, he seemed frightened by it.
Lin Jin considered this justice reclaimed.
Yet, he knew this wasn’t enough. He had acted too impulsively, but since it was already done, there was no longer any room for negotiation. For this week’s meeting, Lin Jin’s main goal was to liaise with Chen Xuankong and have him contact Miao Yan Zhenren.
The instant he entered the Visitation Hall, all his visitors were sullen-faced. Chen Xuankong bowed and said, “Curator, Appraiser Lin has been kidnapped. Every member of our Mystery Dao Sect was mobilized to search for him but we still don’t have any information on his whereabouts. Curator, please aid us.”
Lin Jin was dumbstruck.
Was Chen Xuankong asking Lin Jin to save himself?
On second thought, this was perfectly normal since he was blissfully unaware of Curator’s true identity. If Lin Jin was placed in his shoes, he would have immediately contacted Curator too.
Chen Xuankong’s anxiety appeared to be genuine. Lin Jin could tell from his battered appearance that he had been out and about this whole time.
That alone, told Lin Jin that their entire sect was combing the forest in search of him.
Lin Jin nodded. “Chen Xuankong, calm down. Rise first.”
Lin Jin conducted himself in a composed manner.
‘Curator seems confident despite the gravity of the matter,’ mused Chen Xuankong. It went without saying that he was thoroughly impressed by Curator’s reaction.
The other visitors had already heard the situation from Chen Xuankong just now, so everyone looked worried. However, most of them couldn’t be of help.
After all, this mission exceeded their range of competence.
Even experts like Madam Ghost Child, Black Crow, and Ye Yuzhou couldn’t do anything.
This incident was unfolding at the extraterritorial land and none of them could even get there in one piece, much less save Lin Jin. Qin Yunshang spoke up, “Curator, my master has led the disciples of our Immortal Cloud Sect to the Mystery Dao Sect to aid their search for Appraiser Lin.”
True enough, only Qin Yunshang and her sect were able to render assistance.
After a thought, Lin Jin figured he still didn’t know Yan Shenjun well enough. As the adage went, ‘know thy self and know thy enemy, one need not fear the result of a hundred battles’. Lin Jin couldn’t be bothered with anything else so he asked his two immortal guests if they had heard of Yan Shenjun before.
Both of them were surprised by his question.
They weren’t shocked by the name itself, but by the fact that Curator actually knew about Yan Shenjun. Wouldn’t this imply that Curator already knew Appraiser Lin was kidnapped by Yan Shenjun?
This was now a little magical.
Even the Mystery Dao Sect’s Miao Yan Zhenren only obtained this information not too long ago.
For Curator to already know about it was truly impressive.
“Since Curator knows about Yan Shenjun, you must already know quite a
