Chapter 2448: Chapter 2468: Ah, I didn’t even know I was this awesome!

Lin Chen blinked, his face a mask of confusion.

"What is this fellow cultivator talking about? We’ve never met before, right?"

As soon as Lin Chen said this, the faces of several people from the Gui Xu Sect instantly became quite colorful.

Is this kid really not admitting it?

Just as Tian Mingguang was about to speak, the middle-aged man raised his hand to stop him and said with a cupped fist, "I am Mo Daoli, the third sect master of the Gui Xu Sect. I suppose this must be Master Floating Cloud?"

Master Floating Cloud waved his hand dismissively, "Yes, it’s me. Please have a seat, everyone. Tea, please!"

Mo Daoli and the others sat down in the guest area, and disciples from their sect served tea to the guests.

Mo Daoli smiled and said, "The Dragon Mountain Sect establishing a new branch on Ascending Dragon Island is indeed a joyous occasion."

But Master Floating Cloud didn’t exchange pleasantries with Mo Daoli. He said without mincing his words, "Let’s not bother with the formalities. Seeing as you’ve come empty-handed and brought no gifts, I reckon you’re not here to congratulate us on our new branch. Let’s cut to the chase, what’s the matter then?"

Mo Daoli frowned slightly, Master Floating Cloud’s attitude was quite dominant.

He glanced sideways at Zhao Gang. Zhao immediately stood up, cupped his fist, and said, "Master Floating Cloud, your disciple Lin Chen entered our Gui Xu Sect’s Xinghe Island a few days ago and, right in front of us, abducted our sect disciple Shang Wenyin. We’ll need an explanation for this matter."

Master Floating Cloud’s eyes widened, as if hearing about this for the first time, and turned to look at Lin Chen, "You abducted their sect disciple?"

Lin Chen looked aggrieved, "Nope, I’ve met them for the first time. If they hadn’t introduced themselves, I wouldn’t even know who they are."

Tian Mingguang could no longer hold back and stood up indignantly, "Lin Chen, do you dare to do things and not admit to them?"

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, and he said with righteous indignation, "Why should I admit to something I didn’t do?"

Zhao Gang was infuriated. He was the one who suffered the most in this whole affair, as he had to bear direct responsibility.

He had originally thought that by coming here, Lin Chen would have nothing to say, but he never expected Lin Chen to outright deny everything!

They’re denying it!

"Lin Chen, stop playing dumb. You’ve met us, we’ve fought, and our Sect Master even killed one of your Shadow Images. Do you really think that just because you didn’t explode your identity, we can’t find out who you are?"

Lin Chen feigned curiosity and said, "I’m very curious too. How did you find me? This is like being hit by a pot falling from the sky—I’m being blamed for something completely baffling!"

Zhao Gang said coldly, "Shangguan Wenyin didn’t reveal your identity, indeed; he even deliberately covered for you. However, when I showed your Shadow Image to the Sea God Sect, they recognized you in an instant!"

"You were assisting Shangguan Wenyin, and we don’t have any direct feud with your sect. Just hand over Shang Wenyin, and we can pretend this incident never happened!"

Lin Chen suddenly realized—it turns out they had made inquiries with the Sea God Sect and other people there recognized him.

He had previously visited the Sea God Sect camp and met most of the people there. With the issue of the Sea Tide Pearl, practically everyone knew his identity.

That was a close call!

As long as they weren’t chasing after Shang Wenyin, all was well; otherwise, he had no idea how to handle her.

He surely couldn’t keep her hiding in the Linglong Tower forever.

Lin Chen spread his hands, "You say I abducted that Shang Wenyin right in front of you, at your sect’s entrance. I’d like to know, what is Your Excellency’s strength, and what is this person’s strength?"

Lin Chen had already made up his mind, the only people from the Gui Xu Sect who had seen Lin Chen were Zhao Gang and Tian Mingguang. If he simply denied everything, wouldn’t that be the end of it?

Just because you say it’s me, does that make it so?

Where’s the evidence?

You say I took Shang Wenyin, so where’s Shang Wenyin?

Show her to me, why don’t you?

If you’re not as strong as the other person, playing dumb definitely won’t work, but if my strength isn’t weaker than yours, or even stronger, then what’s wrong with me playing dumb?

Bring out your evidence!

If you can’t provide evidence, then it’s slander and defamation!

What, do you think my Dragon Mountain Sect can’t deal with your Gui Xu Sect?

Want to test it out?

With Lin Chen’s words, Zhao Gang’s face turned the color of a pig’s liver. With everyone staring at him, he had no choice but to answer, "I am a Superior Prime Daluo Ultimate Immortal, and he is..."

Lin Chen blinked and asked again, "What is your Sect Master’s strength?"

Zhao Gang probably knew why Lin Chen was asking this and replied reluctantly, "Superior Prime Daluo Initial Immortal. You were too cunning, using a Shadow Image to deceive us, leading us to chase the wrong person while you escaped from somewhere else."

Clap, clap, clap!

Lin Chen applauded and laughed, "I actually managed to abduct someone right in front of a Superior Prime Daluo Ultimate Immortal and a Great Luo Mysterious Immortal Fifth Heaven—and to think I also easily escaped pursuit from a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal... Mom, I had no idea I was this powerful!"

After a brief pause, Lin Chen added, "Oh right, I just broke through to the Elephant Mystery Realm today. The whole island saw me undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. I’ve been comprehending the Dao and breaking through these days; I’ve had no time to run around... You’re saying I, a mere Shattered Illusion Realm cultivator, did all this—do you even believe it yourselves?"
