Chapter 2522: Chapter 2542: Isn’t he afraid that I won’t return what I borrowed?

"I am a retainer of the Yuwen Family."

The middle-aged man was a retainer, but at the moment he obviously still wanted to live, and without hesitation, he chose to surrender.

"The Yuwen Family secretly summoned me to enter the Kutuo Sea and find an opportunity to kill Shangguan Wenyin. As long as he dies, then Yuwen Yuanshan could naturally dispense with the word ’acting’ and become the true Saint Child."

"The only killer that came this time was myself, no one else... Please spare my life, and I will do whatever you ask."

Fan Tianxing thought for a moment, casually flicked his finger, and the golden light emitted by the middle-aged man’s primordial spirit instantly dimmed.

Fan Tianxing sealed the middle-aged man’s primordial spirit, and at the same time, the mirror array in midair automatically became transparent and then dissipated, as if it had never appeared.

"Who else on the island knows about your mission?"

The middle-aged man answered, "Only I know. The forces under the Yuwen Family are just assisting me in investigating some information about the Saint Child and those around him, and they don’t know what I am supposed to do."

Fan Tianxing nodded his head, lifted the middle-aged man with his hand, and turned to look at Lin Chen, "Open the door."

Lin Chen once again opened the door of the Qiqiao Hall, Fan Tianxing was about to step in, but then turned suddenly, "That White Jade Statue inside..."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, "He is the master of the Qiqiao Hall. He left a legacy in the past, which was obtained by my disciple, and he gave the Qiqiao Hall to me. What I saw was his primordial spirit avatar..."

Fan Tianxing nodded slightly, "Do you know his name?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "He didn’t say."

Fan Tianxing nodded gently, "He looks somewhat familiar, I may have seen him before, but I can’t remember."

Lin Chen widened his eyes, "Senior, you’ve seen him?"

Fan Tianxing gave a grunt, "That’s why I was asking you, to see if you knew his name...

Lin Chen shook his head, he truly didn’t know.

It seemed that the predecessor with the appearance of a young man must be someone extraordinary. Fan Tianxing, as the Hierarch of the Sea God Sect of the Northern Sea and the former Sea God, was one of the top big shots of the entire Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain. It was unlikely that someone memorable to him would be an ordinary person.

Fan Tianxing didn’t say anything more and directly stepped through the Light Door.

Lin Chen pocketed the Token, pondering in his mind. Having caught a retainer of the Yuwen Family and choosing not to kill him—was this a preparation to use him against the Yuwen Family?

I need to ask!

Lin Chen ran all the way and finally reached the exit of the Secret Realm. After verification by the guardians of the realm, Lin Chen stepped through the exit and finally left the Kutuo Sea.

In a secluded place, Lin Chen released everyone from the Qiqiao Hall.

"We have already left the Kutuo Sea. What are your plans?"

Mo Binggang immediately declared, "I will follow the Great One and the senior."

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised by this; Mo Jingjing had been saved by Fan Tianxing and had been following him before. Now that they were out, it was natural for her to continue following him. Moreover, even if they wanted to leave, Fan Tianxing might not agree, as their escape could not be leaked.

Shangguan Wenyin replied, "I will secretly return to headquarters, contact Dean Wu, then make plans... What about you?"

Lin Chen responded, "I’m planning to visit the Wei Family."

Shangguan Wenyin understood immediately, "The Hidden God White Jade Stem of the Yuwen Family?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, I will enter the Wei Family under the guise of an alchemist and look for opportunities to see if I can get it."

Fan Tianxing frowned, "You might as well come with us. Once we have successfully dealt with the Yuwen Family, wouldn’t obtaining the Hidden God White Jade Stem be a matter of just a word?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "My strength is meager; I’d better not get involved in such a big matter. However, senior, rest assured, I will keep this matter strictly confidential and won’t reveal anyone’s identity."

Fan Tianxing snorted coldly and said no more.

Lin Chen would not leak the news, of that he was certain. After all, hadn’t Lin Chen brought them all out? Pretending to be a disciple of the Sea God Sect—if that got out, it would be of no benefit to Lin Chen either.

Fan Tianxing had originally wanted to use Lin Chen to draw the Dragon Mountain Sect into their plans, but Lin Chen didn’t want to commit, slippery like an eel, causing his strategy to collapse.

Shangguan Wenyin hesitated before speaking, "The Qiqiao Hall can block all searches and pursuit. It’s very marvelous. I wonder if I could borrow it for a while? As you know, we need to keep our identities hidden right now, and..."

Before Shangguan Wenyin could finish, Lin Chen had already handed the Qiqiao Hall Command to him.

"Inject spiritual power to activate the Teleportation Gate. Also, the Teleportation Gate lasts at least ten seconds, so keep that in mind when using it."

Shangguan Wenyin looked at the Token in his hand, his expression enigmatic.

He hadn’t even finished speaking, yet Lin Chen had already lent him this marvelous Magical Treasure?

Wasn’t he worried that Shangguan Wenyin wouldn’t return it?

Shangguan Wenyin wasn’t the only one surprised; even Fan Tianxing couldn’t help but take a second look at Lin Chen, his gaze momentarily complex.

Shangguan Wenyin looked at the token for two seconds and then looked up, "Once the matter is settled, I will return it to you right away."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Sure, if I’m not around, you can just return it to the Dragon Mountain Sect’s branch."

Shangguan Wenyin bowed his hands in thanks, "Thank you!"

Lin Chen waved his hand and laughed, "What’s there to thank? Didn’t you lend me the Sea Tide Pearl readily before?"
