Chapter 2447: Chapter 2467: The Gui Xu Sect Comes Knocking!

Oh, so is this playing the gangster now?

I kind of like the spirit!

Lin Chen was never one to play by the rules. Along his journey, he had offended countless people without ever feeling any fear.

"I originally had nothing at all; even this very life was salvaged. What do I have to fear?"

Cultivation is, after all, a defiance of the heavens. Having a great cultivation technique but not daring to cultivate for fear of trouble from others is just ridiculous—you might as well not cultivate at all.

Lin Chen was originally worried that his actions would bring trouble to Dragon Cloud Mountain, but now that Master Floating Cloud had said so, Lin Chen felt completely at ease.

"Alright, I’ll ask Shang Wenyin later."

With the cultivation technique matter settled, Lin Chen prepared to take his leave, "Master, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll head back to the island. The location this token is tethered to is where the small island is. If you need me, you can find me there."

Master Floating Cloud did not try to retain him, as his housekeeping ability, the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics, had already been passed on to Lin Chen, and so was the Divine Spring All-Wood Technique. The rest was up to Lin Chen to figure out and continue his own cultivation.

As for talismans, there were no shortcuts—the only option for Lin Chen was to practice more when he had the time. However, strength in cultivation came first, so talisman crafting naturally had to be prioritized after cultivation.

Lin Chen had just walked out the door when a disciple from the sect suddenly came to report,

"Uncle Master Lin, someone outside is looking for you."

Lin Chen asked in puzzlement, "Who?"

The disciple reported, "The person claims to be from the Gui Xu Sect..."

Lin Chen was slightly startled. Were they coming for him?

He had not revealed his identity to them; how could they know?

Shangguan Wenyin?

That couldn’t be right.

He asked Lin Chen for help and then turned around and sold out Lin Chen’s identity? That was not something Shangguan Wenyin would do.

Could it be that Shang Wenyin still had some undiscovered tracking brand on him?

Lin Chen asked, "How many people came?"

"Five."

That’s quite a few, it seems the visitors have no good intentions.

"Hold on," Lin Chen said, then turned and went back into Master Floating Cloud’s room. Master Floating Cloud, seeing Lin Chen return, laughed and asked, "Did you forget something?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "The Gui Xu Sect has come knocking."

Master Floating Cloud’s eyes widened in surprise, "How did they find out your identity?"

Lin Chen spread his hands with a helpless expression, "I don’t know."

Master Floating Cloud pondered for a moment, "You bring Shang Wenyin into the tower. If they are tracking Shang Wenyin, it would be problematic if they found him."

"Okay!"

Shang Wenyin was reading a book and upon seeing Lin Chen enter, said with a laugh, "Congratulations, congratulations, a promotion to Image Mysterious—a step further!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Let’s put congratulations aside for now. You better hide in the tower first."

Shang Wenyin obediently stood up, though his expression was one of confusion, "What happened?"

Lin Chen took out the Linglong Tower, "The Gui Xu Sect has found this place."

Shang Wenyin’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief, "How could they find this place? Didn’t Senior Floating Cloud check me and found no tracking brands? And my Sea of Knowledge is sealed temporarily, and I’m not using the Primordial Xuan Water Technique?"

Lin Chen reassured, "It’s okay. You hide in the tower, and I’ll go meet them to see what’s going on."

Shang Wenyin bit his lip, his gaze filled with anxiety, "You won’t hand me over to them, will you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Of course not. You can be completely at ease. My master said that if we offend the Gui Xu Sect, so be it; we are not even afraid of the Sea God Sect, let alone the Gui Xu Sect."

Shang Wenyin sighed in relief. After all, he had no ties to the Dragon Mountain Sect, and he was worried that they might not want to attract trouble and would therefore hand him over.

Even though Lin Chen brought him away from the island to repay a favor to Shangguan Wenyin, Shangguan Wenyin hadn’t appeared since. Now that people had come for Lin Chen, it would have been completely justified to hand him over.

Watching Shang Wenyin’s worried expression, Lin Chen said with a laugh to comfort him, "Rest assured, I promised Shangguan Wenyin to take you to a safe place and wait for him to meet you, and I will certainly do so."

"Even without this, I finally saved you; sending you back would be a waste of all my efforts. Besides, such a beautiful woman like you being forced to marry some old man—it’s an annoying thought. So, I’ll take care of it. If worse comes to worst, I’ll just take you and run away."

Shang Wenyin said worriedly, "Won’t this implicate the Dragon Mountain Sect?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Didn’t I just say that the Dragon Mountain Sect is not even afraid of the Sea God Sect, so why would we fear the insignificant Gui Xu Sect? It’s just to prevent you from being caught on the spot."

Shang Wenyin looked at Lin Chen with gratitude, "Thank you!"

Lin Chen, without further ado, put Shang Wenyin into the Linglong Tower and headed out to the hall.

At this moment, the sect disciples had also brought the people from the Gui Xu Sect in.

Lin Chen glanced at them and indeed recognized some familiar faces.

Zhao Gang and Tian Mingguang!

Lin Chen did not know the other three, but one middle-aged man stood out with an extraordinary aura, catching Lin Chen’s eye.

No sooner had Tian Mingguang stepped into the hall and his gaze landed on Lin Chen, he widened his eyes and shouted, "Hall Master, he is the one who took Shang Wenyin from the sect!"
