Chapter 2518: Chapter 2538: This White Jade Statue Looks Familiar

Now that my identity has been revealed, there are no secrets left in the matters ahead.

Fan Tianyun listened quietly to Lin Chen’s narrative and slowly nodded, "You two indeed have a gentleman’s agreement... Will you be helping this time?"

Lin Chen gave a bitter laugh, "I’ve just been promoted to Daluo Ultimate Immortal, and with my current strength, any random person can easily crush me to death. This isn’t a level I should be meddling with."

Fan Tianyun gave Lin Chen a profound look and didn’t bring up the matter again.

Could he be thinking of asking my master and martial uncles to help them?

Lin Chen muttered to himself and closed his mouth.

Such major matters, he dared not rashly agree, even if Fan Tianxing was the previous sect hierarch, even if Shangguan Wenyin was the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect; once they acted against the current sect hierarch, their actions would be deemed as rebellion.

If the Dragon Mountain Sect rashly intervened, it would be tantamount to declaring all-out war on the Sea God Sect. The foundation of the Dragon Mountain Sect is in Eastern Brilliance, and although they have established a branch in the Northern Sea and many powerhouses have settled there, going to war against the entire Sea God Sect would clearly be very unwise.

"Then get ready to leave."

Lin Chen hesitated and then said, "Could we stay a bit longer before leaving? I want to collect some clam pearls. After all, once we leave, it might not be convenient to come back."

Fan Tianxing spoke calmly, "If we’re going to take action, the sooner the better. Since someone has already made a move against him, how can we know that the other party doesn’t have a backup plan?"

Startled, Lin Chen turned his head, "Made a move?"

Shangguan Wenyin nodded, "Someone was secretly tracking me and made an attempt on my life. I fled, but I got injured. He pursued me relentlessly, so I escaped into this deep sea. The giant turtle appeared and scared him away..."

Hearing this, Lin Chen no longer hesitated, "If that’s the case, then let’s leave as soon as possible to avoid any further complications."

Although clam pearls are precious, if the other party has already made a move and has seen Shangguan Wenyin meet the giant turtle, could that lead to some speculations?

The longer everyone stays here now, the more likely something could go wrong.

Feeling indebted to Lin Chen, Shangguan Wenyin immediately stated, "Once things are settled, there will be as many clam pearls here as you want. I’ll give you some then."

Lin Chen replied, "Old Mo and Shang Wenyin are still on Marketplace Island. We should go back to get them... I have a magical treasure that can hide people from any tracking methods. If you trust me, please hide inside, and I will take everyone out of this place of exile."

Shangguan Wenyin said gravely, "Of course I trust you."

Lin Chen looked to Fan Tianxing, whose expression remained calm, "I have no objections."

Lin Chen took out the Qiqiao Hall Command and activated an art spell, and a Light Door appeared immediately before everyone.

"This is a palace left to me by a senior, enter through the Light Door to go inside..."

Lin Chen did not use the Linglong Tower because he was somewhat wary of Fan Tianxing.

It couldn’t be helped, who made Fan Tianxing’s strength so formidable?

With a powerhouse like him entering the Linglong Tower, if he had any malicious intentions, even if Xi Jie was the Artifact Spirit and I could manipulate the Linglong Tower, it still might not be enough to deal with him.

The functions of the Qiqiao Hall are similar and aside from isolating one’s breath, other mechanisms wouldn’t amount to much in the eyes of a Daluo Immortal. As the senior had said, it was a small toy he casually refined. Even if something went wrong, if it got damaged or lost, Lin Chen wouldn’t feel any heartache over it.

"If that’s the case, let’s get out of here."

With Fan Tianxing’s words, the boat on which everyone stood took off, heading upward, and soon, daylight became visible. The boat flew out of the giant turtle’s mouth.

Lin Chen looked back and saw a huge figure sinking into the seabed, and until the end, he never saw the full appearance of the giant turtle and had no idea how vast it was.

Fan Tianxing casually beckoned, and the boat rapidly shrank, turning into a black light before disappearing into his palm.

Lin Chen held the Qiqiao Hall Token and opened the Teleportation Gate.

Shangguan Wenyin, Fan Tianxing, and Mo Jingjing entered the Light Door and then appeared in the Qiqiao Hall, where they saw a massive White Jade Statue.

Fan Tianxing frowned as he examined the statue, showing a somewhat puzzled look in his eyes.

Shangguan Wenyin looked around and then also focused on the statue, secretly muttering that Lin Chen had quite a few valuable items on him.

"This White Jade Statue has an extraordinary bearing, it must be the senior who gave this hall to Lin Chen, right?"

Fan Tianxing made a sound of agreement, then suddenly spoke up, "It looks familiar, I think I’ve seen it before."

Surprised, Shangguan Wenyin tilted his head, "The senior is an acquaintance?"

Fan Tianxing shook his head, "Don’t know him, I can’t remember who it is for the moment, but I’m certain I’ve seen him before."

Shangguan Wenyin blinked, his expression subtle.

For someone to be remembered by Fan Tianxing, he must be no ordinary person; could this be another top-tier Great Power?
