Chapter 2347: Chapter 2367: He Will Definitely Trouble You!_1

Lin Chen, although he had already ascended to the rank of Da Luo, was far too weak compared to the forces that planned the attack at sea.

If his identity were to be exposed, even though ten years had passed, who knows if they would harbor a grudge for ruining their plans, and seek to kill him out of spite?

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen replied, "It wasn’t me; I’ve been in the Northern Sea for over a decade."

He paused, then added, "My connection with the Three Sects is not convenient to disclose. You all should stop guessing."

The people had originally found the words of the person in the dark quite sensible, but didn’t expect Lin Chen to flatly deny them.

Not him?

Fortunately, the majority of the onlookers were just passersby who were there for the spectacle, so when Lin Chen denied it, many believed him. After all, if you had ties to the Three Sects and could build relationships, who would be willing to deny it?

The middle-aged man replied, "Friend Lin, I am Yan Rufei, the War Hall Master of the Moon God Sect. You have encountered Ghost True Man, and regardless of whether the Three Sects’ experts can eliminate this demon, the Moon God Sect owes Friend Lin a favor."

Lin Chen was astonished, "Ah?"

I haven’t done anything, so how does the Moon God Sect owe me a favor?

Yan Rufei calmly explained, "Ghost True Man was severely injured a thousand years ago and vanished. Now he has reappeared on Moon God Island, evidently planning a massacre to reassert his name and comeback. If he succeeds, it would greatly damage the reputation of the Moon God Sect."

"He came, but before he could act, he encountered you, Friend Lin, and was then hunted by the great powers of the Three Sects. Whether he can escape or not, we are now aware of his existence and will be extra cautious. Whatever plans he may have, it will be much more difficult for him to carry them out."

"Friend Lin, by revealing the presence of Ghost True Man, you have, to some extent, done the Moon God Sect a huge favor. Otherwise, once Ghost True Man started his assault, the death and injury would be immense, and my Moon God Sect would lose all face."

Lin Chen suddenly realized, so that was the favor they were talking about.

Yan Rufei’s words did make sense. Ghost True Man clearly targeted this conflict between sects. Although it wasn’t clear exactly what he planned to do, had he succeeded, it would indeed be a major tragedy, and the Moon God Sect, as organizers, would be massively embarrassed.

You’re the organizer, and yet if you can’t even protect the safety of the participants, what face do you have to boast? Still claiming to be a prestigious sect?

Are there any wealthy families that can’t even protect the safety of their own sect’s visiting guests?

Yan Rufei spoke again, "Friend Lin, you and Ghost True Man have already clashed. If he manages to escape, given his vengeful nature, he will surely seek to retaliate against you."

"The Three Sects are one of our two honored guests. Your close relationship with them naturally makes you our guest as well, so we invite you to stay with the Moon God Sect temporarily, until the grand event commences."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up. Stay with the Moon God Sect?

That’s great!

Although the Moon God Sect wasn’t one of the Twelve Immortal Sects, it was still a formidable establishment. Being able to stay within their sect meant there would be no danger, right?

Having been hinted as possibly being the one who rescued the Delta Child, Lin Chen was still somewhat uneasy; he was also responsible for Purple Cloud and the others. If they truly encountered danger, they may not be able to escape.

Lin Chen didn’t hesitate to bow his hands in salute, "I was indeed concerned about Ghost True Man’s retaliation. Thank you, Hall Master Yan, for the invitation. I will gladly accept!"

Yan Rufei gave a slight smile and extended his hand to gesture the way forward, "Friend Lin, please!"

After the customary pleasantries, Lin Chen and his companions followed Yan Rufei, flying directly over Moon City, and then arrived at the Moon God Sect nestled in rugged mountains.

Just as they were about to enter the gate of the Moon God Sect, Liuyun’s voice echoed in Lin Chen’s mind.

"Ghost True Man has escaped, but not without difficulty. Apart from damaging many Magical Treasures, he also lost a significant amount of his origin power and nearly destroyed his body before managing to flee. If he doesn’t encounter some fortuitous event, it will likely take him at least seven to eight hundred years to fully recover..."

Seven to eight hundred years?

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. With such a long time, how could it not be enough for him to become powerful enough to deal with Ghost True Man?

Lin Chen responded, "Thank you, Senior. I have been invited to stay temporarily with the Moon God Sect. What about you all?"

Liuyun answered, "Since you have entered the Moon God Sect and your safety is assured, we will each return home. It’s inconvenient for us to appear in the city now, but we will contact you when we truly come over."

Lin Chen readily agreed, now that he had taken refuge in the Moon God Sect and was entirely safe. As for Liuyun and the others, they could come whenever they wanted.

"Alright, Senior, we’ll wait for you at the Moon God Sect."

Liuyun warned, "Ghost True Man is vicious and vengeful. He suffered these injuries because of you, and I’m afraid he will cause you trouble. So be careful in your daily life. With his strength, it would be too easy for him to kill you, perhaps without giving you any chance to resist."
