Chapter 2510: Chapter 2530: Are You, a Daluo Mysterious Immortal, Being Too Arrogant?

Shangguan Wenyin’s eyes were clear and resolute as he met Lin Chen’s probing gaze without any evasion.

A brilliant smile slowly spread across Lin Chen’s face, "Compared to last time, you’ve changed quite a bit."

Shangguan Wenyin calmly said, "There are some things that one can only see through illusions by personally engaging, understanding, and discovering them."

Lin Chen said candidly, "Since you’ve come looking here, it means you have a clue. Where is he?"

Shangguan Wenyin took out the map of the Kutuo Sea, pointing to a location in the due north, "Here."

Lin Chen looked closely and was immediately astonished. Wasn’t this the terrifying deep-water zone where Mo Binggang said the giant turtle roamed?

"The giant turtle?"

Shangguan Wenyin looked slightly surprised, "You know of the giant turtle?"

Lin Chen stared at Shangguan Wenyin and said in a deep voice, "I’ve heard legends of the giant turtle. Could it be that the former Hierarch has something to do with this turtle?"

Shangguan Wenyin nodded, "Yes, according to the documentation I’ve found, finding the giant turtle would lead to finding the former Hierarch."

Lin Chen said with a wry smile, "Since you’ve researched the documentation and know the legends here, you should be aware that trying to capture or even encountering the giant turtle has been a certain death for everyone. Our strength isn’t much stronger than those who have attempted to capture it..."

Shangguan Wenyin said with a laugh, "Of course, I am aware. But if the giant turtle truly does have a connection with the former Hierarch, then meeting the giant turtle won’t result in my death."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Why is that?"

Shangguan Wenyin answered, "I have brought with me a token of the former Hierarch. The giant turtle is so powerful that it has obviously developed supernatural awareness. If it is indeed connected with the former Hierarch, it will certainly not kill me."

"Even if it has nothing to do with the former Hierarch, at worst I’ll just have to flee for my life. I have brought escape Magical Treasures, and even if the giant turtle possesses the power of a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal, I still have a considerable chance to escape."

"Of course, to say that there is no risk at all would be a lie. To achieve anything, one must always take some risks."

So he came prepared. Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a laugh, "Did you prepare before entering here?"

Shangguan Wenyin said with a laugh, "Otherwise, what do you think I’ve been doing all these years since I was thrown in here?"

Lin Chen stroked his chin, thoughtfully saying, "After the sect conflict, you were not directly punished upon your return. Do you think it’s possible that your Hierarch detected what you were doing, and that’s why you were cast away here, and then a new Saint Child was anointed?"

The smile disappeared from Shangguan Wenyin’s face, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he said, "Had you not reminded me, I indeed hadn’t considered that. I simply thought that the Yuwen Family and the Wei Family were trying to get rid of me, especially since Wei Deyuan is the Vice Sect Hierarch and was in charge of the sect conflict. If he had to place the blame on someone, it would only fall on me..."

"But now that you mention it, I’m not so sure anymore. It’s inevitable that the Yuwen and Wei families would target me, so whether the Hierarch has noticed my actions and is taking advantage of the situation, I do not know."

Shangguan Wenyin’s words halted, and after a few seconds, he looked up, his gaze once again steadfast, "Regardless of what the truth is, now that I’m here, I will definitely uncover it."

Lin Chen inquired, "Are you sure you want to go find that giant turtle?"

Shangguan Wenyin affirmed with a determined expression, "I am sure."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Then I’ll join you."

Shangguan Wenyin asked with puzzlement, "This matter doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you. Even though I am prepared, there is still a great risk..."

"If things get too bad, I’ll just flee!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I may not be very strong, but I’m the fastest when it comes to running away. How can you say this has nothing to do with me? Right now, the Three Sects of Dong Huang have just settled in the Northern Sea and are facing opposition and defenses at every turn, making it difficult to expand. If you find the old Hierarch and a battle ensues between the old and the new, no matter who wins, the Sea God Sect will surely be in chaos. At that time, you’ll be too occupied to bother with us, and our sects will have room to grow, won’t they?"

Shangguan Wenyin’s expression turned subtle. Was this guy actually helping him just to find the old Hierarch and throw the Sea God Sect into turmoil?

You could have just kept that to yourself, why say it out loud?

I’m still the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect!

Watching Shangguan Wenyin’s changing expression, Lin Chen waved his hand and laughed, "Didn’t you give me a top-notch Cultivation Technique? I’m just looking for an opportunity to repay the favor. Besides, I see you as quite straightforward and I don’t want you to just die off like that."

"If you can find the old Hierarch and defeat the current Hierarch, your efforts will be recognized. Moreover, now that you’ve broken through the Carp Dragon Realm and becoming a Daluo Initial Immortal is no longer uncertain, wouldn’t that make you the de facto Saint Child, the future Sect Hierarch? You’d command respect in the Northern Sea. Consider this an early investment from me. When I’m in the Northern Sea, you could provide me with some cover."

Shangguan Wenyin looked incredulous, "Is all that really necessary? With Master Floating Cloud looking out for you, who would dare bully you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Who would ever complain about having too many allies? The Northern Sea is the stronghold of your Sea God Sect, and even if it’s a rotting giant, it is still a giant after all. Furthermore, if its wounds are cleansed, it could become even stronger in the future. I’m taking a temporary risk for eternal fortune."

Shangguan Wenyin couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Chen’s words, "You always have an answer for everything, don’t you? Are you serious about going?"

Lin Chen nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it’s not often I come across someone I take a liking to; I’d hate to see you die without a sound."

Shangguan Wenyin felt a surge of emotion within him, but his words remained uncompromising, "I’m at least a Top-Grade Da Luo Supreme Immortal, aren’t you, a mere Great Luo Mysterious Immortal, being a little too arrogant?"
