As soon as Lin Chen finished speaking, everyone present fell silent, and Judge Zhou Yang's expression became even more unpleasant.

What Lin Chen said was indeed something they hadn't considered. If things really happened as Lin Chen guessed, everything would become incredibly difficult, since not everyone is unafraid of death.

After Lin Chen and the others quickly exchanged their thoughts, Zhou Yang was the first to leave the meeting place.

Although Lin Chen offered his unique insights, none of the people present could think of a good solution to this situation at the moment.

With no other option, Zhou Yang could only arrange for personnel to protect the Light-type Pseudo-Heavenly Seed and the Bud of Light, monitor all suspicious individuals who wanted to approach them, and increase the Tribunal's patrols of the Magic City in order to find their traces before the Black Court's operation.

"Senior Sister Leng Qing, is it really impossible to trace the Black Court with the information Lingling provided? Should we let Lingling try again?" Lin Chen said.

"Of course it's true. If it were that easy to track down the Black Court, our Inquisition would have arrested them long ago. Besides, given Lingling's personality, the fact that she listens to me so obediently means she must have already taken action herself and achieved no results," Leng Qing said.

"That's right, the results I found are almost identical to what my sister's men found." Lingling nodded helplessly; she had originally thought the trial would yield the same result.

"Lin Chen, don't you have any good ideas? Just like when we dealt with the Black Court in Sui Du, lure them out and capture all their blue-robed stewards," Leng Qing said.

"Little Orange, you actually caught the Blue-Clad Deacon of the Black Court!" Before Leng Qing could get a reply from Lin Chen, she heard Liu Lin's exclamation.

She glanced at Lin Chen, then at the three members of the Skyfire Squad, knowing they were good friends with Lin Chen, and then recounted to Liu Lin and the other two Lin Chen's heroic feat of single-handedly capturing the Blue-Clad Deacon in Suidu.

At this point, they also understood why Lin Chen was chosen first by the people of the Capital Tribunal. With Lin Chen's talent, strength, courage, and strategy, which major power would not like him?

"Little Orange, you've been hiding it pretty well. From now on, I'll follow you." Liu Lin said, then changed the subject: "However, the most important thing right now is to find out where Black Court is. You always manage to give us unexpected surprises before, so let's do it again this time."

Upon hearing this, everyone cast expectant glances at Lin Chen.

Since they met Lin Chen, whenever they encountered difficulties, Lin Chen always managed to pull out his new trump card, show everyone his new strength, and lead everyone through the crisis. They felt that this time would be no exception.

They even believed that Lin Chen didn't say anything earlier because he wasn't familiar with Zhou Yang and didn't want to reveal his hand.

Feeling everyone's intense gazes, although he didn't want to discourage them, Lin Chen still shook his head and said helplessly, "This time is different from the last time in Suidu. Last time, Mo Fan and I had something that Hei Ting really wanted. As long as we threw that thing out, whether it was real or fake, they would have to take the bait."

"But this time, we're following behind the Black Court. There's nothing that can attract them except for the Light-type Pseudo-Celestial Seed and the Core of Light. And these things are priceless. Who would lend them to us to fight the Black Court? Even if we did borrow them, whether we lost them or damaged them, we couldn't afford to pay for them."

Leng Qing nodded dejectedly, then said, "To be honest, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen an auction selling pseudo-heavenly seeds. These things are priceless treasures, and only extremely powerful mages can obtain them. Normally, pseudo-heavenly seeds would have been bought up by the great clans as soon as they appeared, and they wouldn't have been allowed to circulate in the market. Unlike this time, they've gone to great lengths to promote them, attracting many high-level mages from great clans to the Magic City."

Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, and a glint of light appeared in his eyes.

Leng Qing noticed Lin Chen's unusual expression and reminded him, "I know what you're thinking. I thought about this issue at first too, but this auction is hosted by the Zhao Clan. Although we don't know the identity of the owner of the Light Element Pseudo-Celestial Seed, it's still trustworthy with the Zhao Clan's guarantee. Moreover, the Zhao Clan started building momentum for themselves two months ago. The timing of their fight with the Black Court over the treasures of Mingguang Village and the summoning of the Dark Dimension Passage doesn't match up. This is one of the reasons why my first reaction after hearing your news was the City of Time."

Although Leng Qing's words made a lot of sense, Lin Chen still felt that things were too coincidental and that he still needed to investigate.

Of course, Lin Chen wouldn't take action himself, as that would easily expose him.

Lin Chen swung his right hand forward, and a moonlit star trail appeared, with BlackGatomon standing in front of Leng Qing.

"What an adorable kitten!"

Leng Qing reached out her hands to pick up BlackGatomon, but she noticed a cold glint in BlackGatomon's eyes as it looked at her, which made her heart skip a beat and feel the threat of death.

"What is the strength of your summoned beast?" Leng Qing asked.

"Sub-Commander," Lin Chen replied.

Leng Qing's expression froze for a moment, and she couldn't help but complain, "Lin Chen, does your summoning system have no bottlenecks or limitations? You're only a mid-level mage, yet you have three commander-level summoned beasts. This makes a high-level mage like me lose face, okay?"

"Sister, although I really don't want to discourage you, you really have no face in front of Lin Chen. He has not three, but four commander-level beasts. You can't beat him," Lingling said.

"..." Leng Qing was speechless for a moment. She didn't want to stay with a freak like Lin Chen anymore. This blow was too great. She actually had to advance to the level of a super mage to have a chance to defeat Lin Chen. This was hard to accept.

"Senior Sister Leng Qing, do you know where the person who commissioned the auction of the Light Element Pseudo-Celestial Seed lives?" Lin Chen asked.

"I know, I live in..."

Before Leng Qing could finish speaking, Lin Chen interrupted her: "If you know, send me your location via WeChat."

Although Leng Qing didn't know what Lin Chen wanted to do, she still obeyed his orders.

Lin Chen glanced at his phone to confirm that he had received the address, then took out a smartwatch from his pocket, hung it around BlackGatomon's neck, and sent the address over.

"Follow this route to reach your destination and monitor those emanating dark or light powers..."

BlackGatomon yawned lazily, glanced down at the smartwatch, turned around, and darted away in a flash.

Watching BlackGatomon disappear in an instant, Leng Qing felt as if she had overlooked something, but she couldn't remember what it was, so she stopped worrying about it.
