Chapter 2517: Chapter 2537: Hard to Calm Down in the End

Fan Tianxing looked at the half piece of the compass before him, his eyes filled with a touch of nostalgia.

He extended his hand to receive the compass, his fingers gently stroking the old patterns on its surface.

The compass was clearly a Magical Treasure, but it appeared to have been directly cut in half by a sharp blade, rendering the Magical Treasure useless.

Fan Tianxing was silent for a while before he finally spoke, "What do you want to do?"

Shangguan Wenyin bowed and said, "The junior generation presumes to ask, when the Senior passed on the position of Sect Hierarch to the current Sect Hierarch, was it a forced move due to some trickery?"

"Yes."

Fan Tianxing sighed, "I misjudged the person and fell into a trap, I can’t blame others."

Shangguan Wenyin, puzzled, asked, "Since it was a malicious act, why haven’t you exposed the truth after all these years?"

Fan Tianxing shook his head, "Back then, he used the divine poison Ashes of Desolation on me, I almost died, and his people have been hunting and killing me ever since. I finally faked my death and escaped into this exiled land disguised as a prisoner, barely escaping death."

"He might have found some clues later and sent people here to continue searching for me. I relied on this giant turtle to hide under the sea, avoiding the might of the tides."

"The divine poison caused me severe injuries and a Great Loss of Strength. I have been hiding here for such a long time, and I have managed to recover at most 70% of my Strength."

"If it were a one-on-one fight with that man, I would not be his match, so even if I left this place and wanted to deal with him, I probably wouldn’t be strong enough."

Shangguan Wenyin said solemnly, "Senior, your reputation within the sect is exalted. Even now, despite your injuries, if you are willing to step forward and reveal the truth about how he harmed you in the past, I believe most of the disciples would be willing to follow you."

"During the years of your absence, the Sea God Sect has declined from its heyday to its current state of corruption and disintegration; it has reached the point where it must be reformed. Surely you do not want to see the day when the Sea God Sect completely falls apart."

"Since Dean Wu has given me this token and sent me to find you, it’s clear that he supports you. With the backing of the Elders’ Court, you surely won’t lose to him."

Fan Tianxing stared at Shangguan Wenyin. "I heard that you were punished to be here for a hundred years... Is everything for the sake of the Sea God Sect?"

Shangguan Wenyin calmly replied, "Although he listened to Wei Deyuan and made me take on the responsibility for the failure against the Three Sects, just for this matter, I don’t hate him."

"For others, the Kutuo Sea might be a prison, but for me, it’s a place of cultivation. I haven’t been here for many years, but I’ve already made a breakthrough to the Carp Dragon Realm, and my strength has now solidified and increased."

"The position of Saint Child, to me, is more a responsibility than a privilege. As long as I hold this position, then I must do what’s beneficial for the Sea God Sect. If Senior doubts I am doing this for my own gain, then you can remove my title of Saint Child afterward and select someone more suitable."

After a pause, Shangguan Wenyin confidently added, "I can responsibly say that among the young generation of disciples, none can surpass me."

Fan Tianxing nodded calmly, "You do seem quite confident."

Shangguan Wenyin bowed, "Please return, Senior, to reorganize the Sea God Sect and restore its former glory!"

Fan Tianxing looked at the half piece of the compass in his hand. After a long while, he sighed softly, "Very well, after so long, the old resentments are difficult to settle. It’s time to leave."

Shangguan Wenyin was overjoyed at the prospect of Fan Tianxing’s return. As the Saint Child, he was staking everything on this, but he was not afraid.

As he said, the collusion and homogenous corruption within the Sea God Sect deeply pained him. He wanted to set things right, and as for who was responsible, Shangguan Wenyin did not discriminate.

If it was the disciples, then he would correct the disciples; if it was the Sect Hierarch, then he would correct the Sect Hierarch!

Moreover, now that he confirmed the Sect Hierarch had ascended to his position through foul means, nearly causing the death of the renowned Fan Tianxing, he naturally hoped even more to turn chaos into order, to rectify every wrong.

"Since we’re leaving, let’s prepare to depart without alerting anyone..."

Shangguan Wenyin nodded, "Of course, my hundred years are still a long way off. If discovered, it would certainly cause a commotion."

Fan Tianxing asked, "How do you plan to get out?"

Shangguan Wenyin looked at Lin Chen, who nodded at him.

Shangguan Wenyin nodded back and said, "He has a Magical Treasure that can conceal a person and isolate all breaths, able to take us out."

Fan Tianxing turned his head and glanced at Lin Chen. "He is your subordinate? His cultivation is of the Qi Refining Path..."

Lin Chen’s heart skipped a beat. The old Sect Hierarch truly lived up to his reputation!

Since Shangguan Wenyin had already persuaded Fan Tianxing, Lin Chen no longer hid his identity and bowed, "Dragon Mountain Sect, disciple of Dragon Cloud Mountain’s Master Floating Cloud, Lin Chen, greets the Senior."

Fan Tianxing furrowed his brows, "You are a disciple of Master Floating Cloud?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I apologize for the concealment earlier. Besides a personal favor I seek from the Saint Child, I am also here on behalf of the Li Family of the Sea God Sect to rescue the Saint Child..."
