Chapter 2309: Chapter 2329: The opportunity was once in front of me, but I did not cherish it!_1

Perhaps it was because he had deviated from his original course that he encountered quite a few sea monsters. Relying on the "Reducing Land to Inches" skill, the Five Elements Escape Technique, and the invincible defense of the Linglong Tower, he repeatedly turned peril into safety.

Fighting isn’t the way, escaping comes first!

After encountering a series of attacks from sea monsters and continuously fleeing, Lin Chen gradually left the Sea Fury Zone.

The sky was no longer gloomy, the sea no longer churned with towering waves, and although the wind carried a hint of chill, it had lost its previous violent fury.

Lin Chen then released the three people again, asking them to find a way to contact their Sect.

They were clearly prepared and quickly established contact with their Sect.

Lin Chen didn’t eavesdrop but instead actively walked to the side.

Soon after, the three finished their communications, their expressions all quite serious.

Xuanqing said in a grave voice, "The Three Sects Visitation Group suffered heavy losses. Not only did many die in the attacks, some were captured, and Qingyun Shishu was seriously injured..."

Wu Jie sighed, "Almost. They should now have our tracking magical treasures in their possession. We are not out of danger yet."

Xuanhezi turned to look at Lin Chen, "Friend Lin, I’m afraid we must trouble you further. The elder of our Sect will arrive as soon as possible, and we will rendezvous with them in the Northern Sea."

Lin Chen nodded, "Okay!"

Just as Lin Chen was about to take the three people back into the tower, a figure suddenly appeared in the southern sky, streaking across like a beam of light.

Lin Chen was startled. Could it be that they were caught up so quickly?

The streak of light drew closer, pausing momentarily in midair before rushing directly towards Lin Chen and the others.

The golden light receded to reveal the figure within, and Lin Chen’s face showed a look of surprise.

Fang Shan’an!

Lin Chen did not expect to encounter him again!

Upon closer inspection, Fang Shan’an wasn’t alone; he was carrying Mi Xiaowan on his back!

"Someone I know..."

Lin Chen gestured, halting Xuanhezi and the others who were ready to strike at any moment.

"Thud!"

Fang Shan’an fell from the sky, but instead of landing steadily, he plunged directly to the ground.

It was only then that Lin Chen fully observed Fang Shan’an’s bloody form, a large blood hole in his chest where his heart should be, an arm missing, and his breath in utter chaos, presenting a scene of extreme brutality.

Mi Xiaowan was slightly better off, pale as paper but without visible bloodstains, suggesting she was not injured.

Fang Shan’an gasped heavily, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Chen, eyes filled with complex emotions.

Excitement, regret...

Having been on the ship for a lengthy time, he naturally came to know of the visitation group’s plight and recognized the children of the Three Sects. Now seeing them all gathered around Lin Chen, how could he not be shocked?

The children of the Three Sects each bore bloodstains left from battle, and their complexions also signified they were all injured. However, there stood Lin Chen, with tidy clothes and perfectly combed hair, looking not like a man fleeing for his life but rather as if he were on a leisurely outing.

A deep regret surged within Fang Shan’an. Lin Chen had indeed given him a chance, but he had not cherished it.

He thought Lin Chen, though kind-hearted, was limited in strength. Entrusting their lives to him seemed too much of a gamble compared to relying on himself, especially since he believed his strength to be much greater.

Now, seeing Lin Chen again, unharmed and seemingly having rescued the children of the Three Sects, while almost everyone from his own party was dead or dying, Fang Shan’an himself barely clinging to life.

Looking at Lin Chen, Fang Shan’an panted, "Friend Lin, I’m sorry, I should have trusted you..."

Lin Chen crouched down, his divine sense infiltrating Fang Shan’an’s body, and his expression immediately darkened.

The body was so thoroughly damaged that even the Primordial Spirit was in tatters, and the vital essence completely extinguished...

He was doomed!

Even immortals couldn’t save him!

Lin Chen sighed, "You know your own condition, right?"

Fang Shan’an managed a grim smile, "I know, I’m a dead man."

Lin Chen nodded, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

Fang Shan’an’s eyes showed gratitude, "Thank you, Friend Lin, for not holding my previous offense against me. If possible, I hope you could help bring miss to the Huan Yue Sect..."

Lin Chen frowned, "You’re dying, and yet you are so determined to send her into the tiger’s den?"

Fang Shan’an’s face was wrought with misery, "If there were any other way, we wouldn’t have done this. But if we don’t, it spells disaster for the Fengxue Sect."

"I know it’s unfair to miss, but we really have no other choice..."

Lin Chen glanced at Mi Xiaowan standing beside him. Her face veil was gone, revealing her true appearance.

A flawless face, a tall and perfect figure, a delicate and vulnerable temperament that called forth an instinctive desire to conquer from anyone who saw her.

No wonder that just by chance encountering her, she caught the eye of the Young Sect Master of Huan Yue Sect, who insisted on adding her name to the compensation list.

Such a woman, if given the chance, what man wouldn’t desire to kiss her, to claim her as his own?
