Chapter 2520: Chapter 2540 Who am I? An Old Man Nearly Forgotten!

Lin Chen received the token given by Sang Daoqing and, after sufficiently showing his gratitude, he finally left the Wei Family Pharmacy.

The reason Lin Chen went out of his way to get a letter of recommendation from Sang Daoqing was naturally to infiltrate the Wei Family.

With the Hidden God White Jade Stem in the Yuwen Family’s possession, and Lin Chen having no connections with them, it was impossible for him to obtain it. Similarly, Shangguan Wenyin was an enemy of the Yuwen Family, so there was naturally no way through there, either.

The Wei Family had a close relationship with the Yuwen Family, almost like one big family, so Lin Chen concocted a plan to infiltrate the Wei Family under the guise of an alchemist and then find an opportunity to transfer the Hidden God White Jade Stem from the Yuwen Family.

Although there was a certain risk and success was not guaranteed, not trying at all would mean never succeeding!

At worst, if his cover was blown he could escape, or even if he was inevitably captured, having the identity of a disciple of Master Floating Cloud, he reckoned that he would not face death.

Someone revealed their silhouette from the darkness, pondering as they watched the direction in which Lin Chen departed.

That mysterious woman had close ties with Mo Binggang and Shangguan Wenyin, so how did she come to be involved with an alchemist from the Wei Family Pharmacy?

Could it be that this alchemist named Chen Fan had a secret connection with Shangguan Wenyin?

Was Chen Fan planning to take those two people and leave the Kutuo Sea?

The man in the black robe leaped up, chasing after Lin Chen.

If he captured him and interrogated him, he would find out the answer; perhaps they knew whether Shangguan Wenyin was still alive.

Half a day later, Lin Chen was intercepted at sea.

Lin Chen looked at the man blocking his path, surprise evident on his face.

He had actually seen him before!

Wasn’t this the taciturn middle-aged man who had entered Kutuo Sea with him?

Lin Chen asked, "Who are you, sir, and why are you blocking my way?"

The middle-aged man said sternly, "Mo Binggang and that woman, you’ve taken them both. Are you planning to leave with them?"

Lin Chenxin was greatly shocked, as he had been extremely careful—how did this man know?

It seemed that this man had been watching Shang Wenyin and Mo Binggang all along, hence he saw them meeting with him and the process of him taking them into Qiqiao Hall.

How had this man managed to track him without his slightest notice?

Since his opponent had managed to intercept him so precisely here, Lin Chen knew he could not deny it. He said frankly, "Mo Honggang came here looking for his daughter. After searching for so long without success, he wanted to leave and begged me to take him as I passed by. As for that woman, I don’t know her. She offered me a reward... Do they have any problems?"

The middle-aged man eyed Lin Chen suspiciously, "You don’t know them?"

Without hesitation, Lin Chen shook his head, "I work as a resident alchemist for the Wei Family Pharmacy; many people know this. They found me when I was out for a stroll and asked if I could take them away when I left. I don’t know them."

The middle-aged man sneered, "For now, you’re probably not going anywhere. Hand them over and come back with me. If indeed you have no connection with them, then for the Wei Family’s sake, I can let you go. But if you’re related to them, I’m sorry, but no one can save you."

Lin Chen said angrily, "I have a recommendation from the general manager of the Wei Family Pharmacy. Do you intend to offend the Wei Family?"

The middle-aged man’s eyes gleamed with mockery, "Ignorant. If you really are connected to them, Sang Daoqing will be the first to want to kill you!"

Suddenly, Lin Chen spoke up, "Could it be that you are from the Yuwen Family?"

The expression on the middle-aged man’s face suddenly turned sinister, "There indeed is an issue. It seems you’re not willing to surrender, so don’t blame me for being harsh."

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Chen stopped the middle-aged man who was about to strike, and simply stated, "I’ll release them now."

Lin Chen took out the Qiqiao Hall Command Token, activated the Teleportation Gate, and soon, Fan Tianxing stepped out of the Light Door.

Fan Tianxing glanced at the middle-aged man blocking the way, his eyes narrowing slightly, "It’s you?"

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Senior, you know this man who has been following and blocking the way?"

Fan Tianxing answered calmly, "He’s been hunting and killing Shangguan Wenyin. I caught a distant glimpse of him before. He moves very fast."

The expression on the middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, his eyes now filled with both dread and fear as he focused intently on Fan Tianxing.

Lin Chen nodded, "Please, Senior, take action. This man must be a killer sent by the Yuwen Family to dispose of any loose ends. If he escapes, it will cause much trouble later."

Fan Tianxing looked at Lin Chen with a cold smirk, "He won’t get away."

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and asked, "Who are you?"

Fan Tianxing replied with a faint smile, "Just an old man who’s almost been forgotten..."

"Fan Tianxing!"

The middle-aged man went pale instantly, "You are the previous hierarch Fan Tianxing?"

Fan Tianxing, with hands behind his back, answered calmly, "You’re quick on the uptake!"

The middle-aged man said in shock, "You’re really still alive?"

A chill flashed in Fan Tianxing’s eyes, "Some people really wished I were dead; unfortunately for them, I’ve crawled back from Hell!"

The middle-aged man’s face turned pale as the revelation contained in those words was overwhelming.

If this man had indeed crawled back from Hell, what massive upheaval would befall the Sea God Sect?

This news had to be sent out!

Just as the middle-aged man was about to recklessly surge his spiritual Qi in a desperate bid to communicate this news, Fan Tianxing suddenly spoke lightly, "It’s too late!"
