Chapter 1672: Chapter 1692: Whoever caused the trouble should rectify it!_1

All eyes unanimously focused on Iron Mountain River’s face, awaiting his next move.

Iron Mountain River’s face flushed red, and sweat traces appeared on his forehead. His gaze frantic, he bowed and said, "I was not aware of the arrival of the Immortal Palace special envoy, and I might have offended you earlier. Please forgive me!"

Lin Chen put away his token and calmly asked, "Do you still want the Sun Real Fire?"

It seemed as though Iron Mountain River had received another resounding slap in the face. In front of everyone, he was extremely humiliated, but what recourse did he have?

Could he afford to rebel?

A moment of anger from the Immortal Palace could mean the annihilation of the Qishan Mei Wang Sect!

Not to mention him as a Deputy Sect Master, even the Sect Master himself would not be able to bear the responsibility!

Whoever causes trouble must bear the consequences!

Despite how repressed Iron Mountain River felt inside, he could only force a smile. He bowed and said, "Special Envoy Lin, you jest. Gao Yu hailed from outside and does not belong to my Qishan Mei Wang Sect. The treasures he left behind are meant for those destined to have them. My earlier assertions were presumptuous and offensive to you. Please forgive us, as we weren’t aware of your distinguished identity."

"Special Envoy, you have saved a disciple of my Qishan Mei Wang Sect. We extend an invitation for you to visit our sect and let us show you our hospitality."

Lin Chen sneered, "Your Qishan Mei Wang Sect operates in mysterious ways, I don’t dare to visit. I fear that my life and soul might disappear if I do."

Iron Mountain River responded with embarrassment, "Special Envoy Lin, you jest. Even if the Qishan Mei Wang Sect gathered all our courage, we wouldn’t dare harbor any ill intentions toward an envoy from the Immortal Palace."

Calmly, Lin Chen said, "I don’t need to visit your sect. I just came to see what was left in this cave mansion. Now that I’m done exploring, I plan to leave."

Upon seeing Lin Chen’s refusal to visit the sect, Iron Mountain River grew worried.

If Lin Chen doesn’t say anything now but speaks ill of him back at the Immortal Palace, what would he do if Yao Xuanji wanted to assert her authority and cause trouble for the Qishan Mei Wang Sect?

"Special Envoy Lin, please hold on!"

Iron Mountain River moved closer and respectfully said, "May I have a word with you?"

Lin Chen looked at Iron Mountain River, his face emotionless.

Iron Mountain River bowed and his eyes pleaded for understanding.

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and calmly said, "Come with me."

Iron Mountain River breathed a sigh of relief and quickly agreed, "Yes!"

Lin Chen turned to Chen Haoran and gave him a small smile, "I’ll take my leave."

Chen Haoran nodded, "Until next time."

Lin Chen nodded, "The Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest, are you attending?"

Chen Haoran’s eyes lit up, "Of course I’m attending."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Then let’s meet at the Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest!"

Chen Haoran laughed, "Alright, it’s a deal. We won’t leave until we meet!"

"Okay!"

Lin Chen turned and flew off with the two women. Iron Mountain River hastily followed.

The four quickly moved away, leaving the lake and the range of the Qishan Mei Wang’s sect Array Formation. It was not until they reached a hilltop that Lin Chen landed.

"What do you want to say, Your Excellency?"

Iron Mountain River had already thought through on the first leg of the trip. He needed to completely quell the influence of this incident on the Qishan Mei Wang Sect.

The Sect wasn’t afraid of rumors, but he was fearful of the Immortal Palace’s attitude!

Perhaps the Immortal Palace wouldn’t care, but what if they did?

What was the relationship between Lin Chen and Yao Xuanji?

If the two vibrant young individuals happened to be a couple, and the man was wronged here, wouldn’t the woman want to help him regain his dignity?

After much consideration, Iron Mountain River decided to swallow his pride and apologize.

As his dignity was already low, he didn’t mind lowering it a bit more. After all, it wasn’t shameful to bow to the Immortal Palace!

Iron Mountain River bowed, "I am Iron Mountain River, the Deputy Sect Master of the Qishan Mei Wang Sect. I apologize once again for my previous reckless actions. I was blinded by the treasure and acted rashly, disregarding ethos. I hope Special Envoy Lin could forgive me."

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Had I not been a special envoy, I imagine I would have had trouble leaving here unscathed today."

Iron Mountain River gritted his teeth and held out a box. He took a pained look at the box before presenting it to Lin Chen.

"This is a Ten Thousand Year Purple Shouwu. Consuming it greatly improves one’s strength. I obtained it during an adventure in a Secret Realm. I originally planned to use it after I reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Today, I’ve offended Special Envoy Lin. I’d like to present this as an apology. I hope Special Envoy Lin can forget today’s unpleasant encounter."

Ten Thousand Year Purple Shouwu?

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened. This was a valuable item!

Just like Iron Mountain River mentioned, this thing was almost entirely formed from concentrated Immortal Spirit Qi. There was no need to refine it into a pill; consuming it directly was immensely effective. It was indeed a rare top-tier Immortal Medicine.

Even if he was only at the Earth Immortal Realm, consuming the Ten Thousand Year Purple Shouwu would still yield impressive results!

Iron Mountain River was actually offering it as an apology. Lin Chen considered himself quite lucky.

Lin Chen reached out and took the box. He opened it to confirm the Ten Thousand Year Purple Shouwu was inside before closing it again.

"What happened today, I seemed to have forgotten. Sect Master Tie, could you remind me...?"
