Chapter 2354: Chapter 2374: Visit of the Saint Child_1

The disciples of the Sea God Sect hung suspended in mid-air, with countless cultivators looking up, their eyes filled with envy.

Although the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain is governed by the Myriad Immortal Hall, in the Northern Sea, the Sea God Sect reigns supreme, with a prestige that even surpasses the Twelve Immortal Sects.

The one who represented the Moon God Sect to meet the guests was the War Hall Master Yan Rufei, after all, one must pay attention to a symmetry in status. If Shangguan Xuanyin had come, then the Sect Master would meet him, but what about if the Sea God Sect Hierarch came?

Wouldn’t that make it seem like the Moon God Sect was inferior?

After the pleasantries, Shangguan Xuanyin and the others all entered the Moon God Sect, leaving behind countless excited and enthusiastically chatting cultivators.

In the Northern Sea, the Sea God Sect is like the lofty stars above, and now having revealed their true faces before everyone, allowing for close contact with the public, just this alone was enough to make everyone relish the experience, feeling that their trip was not in vain.

However, Lin Chen and his companions were surprised to find that Shangguan Xuanyin was staying in the small building next to theirs upon returning to their sect residence.

Shangguan Xuanyin was instructing his subordinates at the entrance when he saw Lin Chen and the others. He stopped talking and looked up at them, his gaze showing slight confusion, as their attire clearly indicated they weren’t disciples of the Moon God Sect.

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, as if to greet him.

With his special status, Lin Chen clearly leaned more toward the Three Sects, so he had no intentions of making acquaintances with Shangguan Xuanyin.

Besides, he was just a Loose Cultivator, while the other was the Saint Child of the Sea God Sect—their statuses were worlds apart.

Shangguan Xuanyin watched as Lin Chen and the four others entered the neighboring courtyard, then frowned slightly and tilted his chin toward a man beside him, who nodded and quietly left.

Soon, the man returned and reported back the information he had gathered.

Shangguan Xuanyin’s face showed surprise, "He encountered Ghost True Man and called upon the support of a great power from the Three Sects, leaving the Ghost True Man severely wounded?"

"Yes," came the response.

Shangguan Xuanyin asked with confusion, "A Loose Cultivator? Why would a great power from the Three Sects help him?"

"Though he hasn’t mentioned it, everyone suspects he is the one who saved the Three Sects’ Saint Son from the attackers in the incident at the Endless Sea. The Three Sects are grateful for his actions and are willing to take action for him..."

Shangguan Xuanyin’s eyes brightened, "What is his level of strength?"

"It’s said he has just entered Da Luo."

A look of surprise crossed Shangguan Xuanyin’s face, "Just entered Da Luo, and he was able to save the Three Sects’ Saint Son from the hands of three Daluo Initial Immortals?"

"That’s unclear. At the scene at the time, aside from the attackers, there were only people from the Three Sects, only they know the full story."

After contemplating for a moment, Shangguan Xuanyin said, "Alright, let’s go pay a visit to our neighbor."

His subordinate expressed concern, "Great One, your status is esteemed and in full view of the public, and he’s just a Loose Cultivator. Is it appropriate to take the initiative to visit?"

Shangguan Xuanyin said with a laugh, "The purpose of the incident at sea was to frame our Sea God Sect. If it wasn’t for him, the true schemer would have succeeded. Although the incident indeed had nothing to do with our Sea God Sect, he indeed also helped us by reducing suspicions against us and lowering the probability of a major conflict with the Three Sects. So in a sense, he did us a favor."

"Had we not met, it would have been another matter, but since we have, naturally, we should say hello. Let’s go!"

...

After returning to the small courtyard, Lin Chen and the others were discussing the affairs outside when a clear voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Friend Lin, Shangguan Xuanyin has come to visit."

Gu Yuexi stood up in surprise, "Why has he come?"

Everyone was perplexed.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Well, if he’s come, he’s come. We have no grudge with the Sea God Sect. Maybe he just wants to get to know the new neighbors."

Lin Chen approached the entrance, withdrew the Array Formation, and looked at Shangguan Xuanyin, who stood quietly at the doorway, and said with a laugh, "A visit from the Saint Child brings honor to this humble place, welcome!"

Shangguan Xuanyin said with a laugh, "Friend Lin previously saved the Three Sects’ Saint Son at the Endless Sea, thwarting the attackers’ conspiracy, indirectly aiding our Sea God Sect. I learned today that your Excellency resides next door, and I came uninvited; I hope you’ll forgive my presumption."

True to his status as the Saint Child of the Sea God Sect, Shangguan Xuanyin’s bearing and choice of words were very comfortable to others, even involuntarily triggering a feeling of ’for such a person to speak so cordially to me.’

Since Shangguan Xuanyin had brought it up, for Lin Chen to deny it would be meaningless, so he opened the door with a smile, "At that time, I was also on the Sea King, so it was partly self-preservation, all a matter of chance... Please, come in, Saint Child."

Shangguan Xuanyin gestured to his subordinates with his hand and entered the courtyard alone.

Lin Chen invited Shangguan Xuanyin to sit down in the living room, then said with a laugh, "Technically speaking, the Three Sects’ Saint Son would be considered your opponent, Saint Child. By saving them, I’ve added trouble for you..."

Shangguan Xuanyin smiled slightly, confidence in his expression, "The Three Sects and our Sea God Sect have agreed to a battle. If we are to win, we must do so fairly and squarely, leaving the Three Sects no room for complaint. If we resorted to cunning schemes, it would in fact be to our disadvantage."

"Though it’s three against one, I’m confident I won’t lose to any of them."

Lin Chen praised, "The Saint Child is truly spirited. But as a new arrival, I am still unaware of how exactly the contest will be conducted. Could you enlighten me and resolve my doubts?"
