Chapter 2536: Chapter 2556: Want to return the favor, but I can’t return it at all!

"Bang!"

Wei Deyuan fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut and crashed into the earth with a boom.

When Wei Deyuan once again appeared in front of everyone, he was already in a critically injured and dying state.

To deceive the current Sect Hierarch and feign injury would absolutely be impossible to succeed.

To live, one must gamble.

Wei Deyuan had no choice. If he didn’t accept, he would be beaten half to death and completely sealed off, temporarily disappearing from the human world.

Out of options, Wei Mingxuan also chose to submit.

From the brief exchange of blows just now, he had already sensed that the opponent came prepared, stronger than themselves, not to mention the Old Sect Leader who hadn’t made a move yet.

And who could be a match for the Old Sect Leader?

To not surrender meant death!

This choice was not hard to make!

Although the ten powerhouses present were not all of the experts from the Wei and Yuwen families, with two family heads plus a Vice Sect Hierarch, four top grades, and six middle grades, this was enough to manipulate the entire family’s direction.

Fan Tianxing had naturally come prepared. Everyone made a True Soul contract, which was to entrust their lives to Fan Tianxing. Of course, Fan Tianxing also made a vow that as long as he retrieved the position of Sea God, he would release everyone’s true souls and restore their freedom.

Though it was unpleasant to have one’s life in another’s hands, they had no choice. Fan Tianxing’s move immediately eased everyone’s minds, lessening their aversion toward him.

Fan Tianxing’s gaze fell on Wei Mingxuan, and he stretched out his hand, "Tianmi Xuanshen Water."

A pang of pain struck Wei Mingxuan’s heart. All of their group’s hard work had been for the benefit of someone else.

A painful situation indeed, but Wei Mingxuan didn’t dare to hesitate and directly took out the porcelain bottle Lin Chen had given him before, presenting it respectfully to Fan Tianxing.

Fan Tianxing didn’t even take it, but with a simple gesture, the porcelain bottle flew towards Shangguan Wenyin.

Shangguan Wenyin caught the porcelain bottle, opened the lid, and after a scan with his divine sense, a shallow smile appeared on his face.

The Tianmi Xuanshen Water was not for him, of course. It was Lin Chen’s spoils of war.

This wasn’t a favor. This was what Lin Chen deserved.

He didn’t directly hand it over to Lin Chen, but instead said, "Chen Fan came to the Kutuo Sea before, using a secret order as a pretext to seek refuge at the Wei Family Pharmacy. Yet, due to his talent in refining pills, he caught the eye of Sang Daoqing. Therefore, I turned the tables, allowing him to enter the Wei Family to gather information for us. Now that the matter is resolved, I will take him away."

At that moment, Lin Chen rose into the air and, bowing to Wei Mingxuan, said, "Family Head Wei, I appreciate the favor, sorry for the inconvenience."

Wei Mingxuan’s heart felt bitter. If today’s affair hadn’t taken place in this Secret Realm, they definitely would not have surrendered and would have fought to the death. Directly calling for reinforcements could perhaps even have brought the Sect Hierarch to intervene, and the chances of victory weren’t low.

But now within this Secret Realm, surrounded by the Mirror Array, the possibility of sending a message out was almost non-existent, for it was as if separated by a whole world.

All of this was because of Lin Chen!

A mere alchemist who had just reached the stage of Daluo Ultimate Immortal!

Twelve people came in, eleven of whom were core members of the Wei and Yuwen families, yet it was this sole outsider who brought disaster upon everyone.

Who to blame?

Wei Mingxuan wished he could slap himself, his heart filled with bitterness!

"Brother Chen, let’s not dwell on past matters. We were each serving our own masters. Now that we’re all on the same side, let’s not be strangers," Wei Mingxuan said, although he hated the fact that he couldn’t just slap Lin Chen to death. Seeing the situation, Lin Chen seemed highly valued by the Saint Child and appeared to know Fan Tianxing as well. With his own life hanging by a thread in Fan Tianxing’s hands, how could he afford to cause further issues?

What else to do at this point but to move on!

Yuwen Difei interjected, asking, "Sect Hierarch, what should we do now?"

Yuwen Difei directly dropped the ’old’ from Old Sect Leader in addressing him as the Sect Hierarch, clearly stating his own stance.

Fan Tianxing had already prepared plans, and he began to issue orders. The core content was to hide themselves, reach out for more people, await opportunities, and in one fell swoop take down the current Sect Hierarch and regain control.

This didn’t concern Lin Chen, who quietly stood at the back, becoming an invisible person.

Once the instructions were given, Fan Tianxing allowed everyone some time to heal their wounds, as some of them had been injured upon injury and needed a moment to recover.

Shangguan Wenyin walked over to Lin Chen and said with a laugh, "Come with me!"

The two left the crowd and went to a deserted place.

Shangguan Wenyin casually cast a Sound-isolation Technique before stuffing the porcelain bottle into Lin Chen’s hands, "Tianmi Xuanshen Water... The Hidden God White Jade Stem, have you gotten it? If not, I’ll have someone from the Yuwen Family get it for you."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I’ve already gotten it."

Shangguan Wenyin laughed, "Well, I wanted to owe you a favor, but it seems I can’t repay even a bit of it."

Lin Chen chuckled, "I had no idea you’d come so soon. If I had known you were going to strike against the Wei and Yuwen families, I wouldn’t have spent three months here as an alchemy worker."

Shangguan Wenyin praised, "You really do have many tricks up your sleeve, managing to infiltrate their upper ranks with a fake identity and effortlessly obtain what you want..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yuwen Zhao was always watching me closely. Swapping the porcelain bottle wasn’t going to be easy, fortunately, you came. Otherwise, it would have been much more troublesome, and at best, I could only have gotten part of it..."
