Chapter 2547: Chapter 2567: Young People Lack Imagination

Chen Feng’s provocation and actions didn’t faze Lin Chen in the slightest.

He clearly remembered the look of amazement that had crossed Chen Feng’s face upon seeing Shang Wenyao, probably wanting to challenge me in front of her to show off his own prowess.

Unfortunately, he hit an iron plate.

Chen Feng must not know that Shang Wenyao, who he sees as a goddess, is even stronger than him.

Failing to show off and losing face in front of a pretty woman, how could he stay any longer?

Following the White-haired Elder, they made their way successfully to Shadow Gate.

On the precipice sliced as if by a blade’s edge, the words ’Shadow Gate’ emanated a grand and vast Breath.

Lin Chen sighed in relief, as he had held certain doubts about the identities of the two, but now at least their identities were confirmed.

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao followed the White-haired Elder into Shadow Gate, across the canyon and the magnificent architectured palaces on the mountainside, to the depths of Shadow Gate—a black mountain peak covered in intricate prohibition arrays.

The three stood before the mountain, the White-haired Elder cupped his fists and shouted, "Disciple Lin Chen from Dragon Mountain Sect has been brought here."

The sect’s prohibition at the mountain gate opened silently, revealing a pitch-black Mountain Path.

The White-haired Elder with an Extended Hand, said, "The two of you, please, go up the mountain."

Lin Chen looked at the old man, "Aren’t you going up?"

The White-haired Elder said with a smile, "My task was to receive guests. What you discuss is none of my concern."

Lin Chen inquired, "Who is on the mountain, your sect leader?"

The White-haired Elder replied, "Yes."

Without further ado, Lin Chen stepped onto the stone stairs with Shang Wenyao closely following him.

After the two had entered, the prohibition at their backs snapped shut instantly.

Lin Chen turned his head to look at the closing mountain gate, exchanging a glance with Shang Wenyao. They both saw the concern in each other’s eyes.

Everything here reeked of eeriness.

Lin Chen had no choice but to resign himself to his fate; after all, the other party was also a force under the Myriad Immortal Hall—it shouldn’t do anything to a Dragon Mountain Sect disciple like himself, right?

Lin Chen and Shang Wenyao ascended the stone stairs, quickly reaching the mountainside where they found a black room.

A black mountain, black stones, a black room.

The Array Formation enveloping the mountain obscured the sun and moon; even the celestial light was blocked, rendering the entire mountain peak dark as if it were dusk.

Standing outside the room, Lin Chen called out, "Lin Chen from Dragon Mountain Sect has come to visit!"

The door to the black room silently opened, revealing a figure sitting cross-legged inside, blending into the dusk as if he were a ghost of the mountain.

Naturally, this person was the Shadow Gate Sect Hierarch, one of the Immortal Monarchs under Lihaizong, Immortal Venerable Wan Yun, Sheng Wanyun.

"You must be curious why I’ve summoned you," he said.

Lin Chen responded calmly, "Indeed, since I have had no dealings with your sect. Moreover, I haven’t been in the Northern Sea for very long."

"Haha..." Sheng Wanyun suddenly laughed loudly. "I’m also curious, how did a Dragon Mountain Sect disciple with mediocre strength get entangled in the Sea God Sect’s internal strife and end up playing a crucial role?"

Lin Chen’s eyes shifted slightly, but he maintained a calm tone, "Immortal Monarch, I’m not quite sure what you mean. I do indeed know Shangguan Wenyin, the Holy Son of the Sea God Sect, and have had dealings with him; we have quite a rapport, but I have never been involved with the internal strife of the Sea God Sect..."

Sheng Wanyun laughed, "Now that you are here, denying is pointless. Why bother hiding anything?"

With an air of confidence, Sheng Wanyun said, "You went deep into the Kutuo Sea, helped Shangguan Wenyin find Fan Tianxing, posed undercover in the Wei Family, and with the Secret Realm expedition, helped them subdue the Wei and Yuwen Families..."

Lin Chen fell silent, his breathing growing slightly heavier.

How could Sheng Wanyun know of these affairs?

"Is Shadow Gate also a member of the Sea God Sect?"

Sheng Wanyun laughed, "In the Northern Sea, an identity of sect power doesn’t conflict with being an affiliate of the Myriad Immortal Hall or a member of the Sea God Sect."

Lin Chen’s voice grew grave, "Is Shadow Gate loyal to... the current Sea God?"

Sheng Wanyun’s laughter suddenly rose in pitch, "You’re smart, but unfortunately, you guessed wrong!"

Lin Chen felt slightly puzzled, "Since you’re aware of what I’ve done, you must also know I have connections with the Saint Child and even Sect Master Fan. You had someone bring me here, so clearly you’re not on Sect Master Fan’s side..."

Sheng Wanyun leisurely rose from within the room, "Young man, your imagination is not as rich as it could be. Let me show you something..."

From between Sheng Wanyun’s eyebrows, a small blue seal flew out. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding area resounded with the sound of waves, and countless waters surged from the void, giving Lin Chen the sensation of being submerged in the deep sea.

The small blue seal emitted a blue radiance, and a grand, divine aura spread out, enveloping both Lin Chen and Shang Wanyao, instilling in Lin Chen an innate desire to kneel and submit.

Lin Chen’s face turned pale in an instant.
