Chapter 2548: Chapter 2568: I am the Immortal Monarch, and also the Sea God!

He had never seen the small blue token before, but the moment he laid eyes on it, Lin Chen already knew its name.

"Sea God’s Seal!"

Lin Chen’s voice could not hide the shock in his heart, "You are not Celestial Cloud Immortal Monarch, you are Han Zongji, the Sea God!"

Sheng Wanyun gave a slight smile, "No, I am the Celestial Cloud Immortal Monarch, but I am also the Sea God. The identity of the Sea God has always been mysterious, who would know it’s the Celestial Cloud Immortal Monarch?"

Lin Chen was greatly agitated, he finally understood why Chen Feng and the others were able to intercept him so accurately.

The Sea God Han Zongji had countless followers in the Sea God Sect, even though he had been defeated and the Sea God Sect had been overtaken by Fan Tianxing, who had purged it, hearts are inscrutable, how could it be thoroughly cleansed?

His own actions had probably long been under scrutiny by those with ulterior motives; the convergence of various pieces of information led to the uncovering of the truth, and he had already been under surveillance when he visited Shangguan Wenyin. This was why, after he left, Chen Feng was able to intercept him so accurately.

What an oversight.

Actually, this could not be blamed on Lin Chen. Everything Lin Chen did was done in utmost secrecy, plus he had the identity of a Dragon Mountain Sect disciple, which originally required no concealment.

Who knew that all of this would be known by Han Zongji, the Sea God? Who knew he would personally take action against such a minor character as himself?

Lin Chen quickly calmed himself and asked, "Should I address you as Lord Sheng, or should I call you Lord Han?"

Sheng Wanyun replied, "Sheng Tianyun is my real name, Han Zongji is an alias. Both are me, there’s no difference."

Lin Chen nodded, "Since both of us have exposed our identities, it seems you have no intention of letting us live, right?"

Sheng Wanyun laughed heartily, "The things you have done, now that I’m aware of them, do you think you can still live? It’s just a matter of how you die."

"Is there a difference?"

At this point, Lin Chen actually felt more at ease, "My strength isn’t that great. If you want to kill me, why bother with all this? Couldn’t you have just made a move outside?"

Sheng Wanyun smiled and said, "You, as Master Floating Cloud’s disciple, are bound to have various Magical Treasures for escaping with your life. Even if it’s not much, killing you would easily alarm Master Floating Cloud. But here, with so many prohibitions in place, no matter if you call for help or use other methods, they’ll all be ineffective."

"Since I dare to expose my identity, naturally I have made sure that nothing can go wrong. Rest assured, you won’t die in vain. You’ll die by the right person’s hand, and your Master will certainly hear about it."

Lin Chen immediately understood, "You want to frame someone else, inciting a war between my Master and the Sea God Sect?"

Sheng Wanyun gave a slight smile, "Indeed, that’s the plan. Of course, as for the outcome, I can’t be certain, after all, one can’t see into another’s heart; whether you hold a place in your Master’s heart, and whether he’ll rage against the injustice of your death, I can’t calculate that."

"No matter what happens, I have nothing to lose, right? Either way, I get to vent and watch a good show. I won’t be losing out."

Lin Chen looked around, "I can’t call for help?"

Sheng Wanyun smiled faintly, "You might as well give it a try."

Lin Chen stared at Sheng Wanyun, surprised, "You’re letting me try?"

Sheng Wanyun’s expression was leisurely, "Yes, go ahead and try. Since you’re going to die, I’ll generously let you die with clear understanding. Shouldn’t you thank me?"

Lin Chen spoke seriously, "Even though I know I’m probably dead for sure, who can resign themselves to such a fate before death truly comes?"

Sheng Wanyun extended his hand in a welcoming gesture, standing leisurely at the entrance like a hunter watching his prey struggle in its final moments.

Lin Chen waved his hand, summoning the Linglong Tower, while simultaneously taking out the token given by his Master and injecting it with spiritual power.

The token shone brightly with golden light, sending a beam of golden light upwards into the sky.

Just as hope flickered in Lin Chen’s heart, the fierce golden light suddenly stopped in midair as if it had lost its direction, like a lost child, and then gradually dimmed.

Lin Chen’s heart sank completely.

Lin Chen tried again, but the result was the same.

With a solemn expression, Lin Chen took out another token given by Master Kurong and injected it with spiritual power.

The radiance shot up into the sky, then paused and dimmed.

The result was identical.

Sheng Wanyun stood at the entrance, simply watching with a smile the entire time, without any interference, clearly he had absolute confidence.

Lin Chen again picked up the token given by Chen Guang Daozhang, his spiritual power surged wildly, but this time, he didn’t channel the frenzy of spiritual power into Chen Guang Daozhang’s token, but into the tattoo-like mark on the back of his right hand.

The mark suddenly burst out with countless golden lights; from the mark, a spray of golden light shot out, falling before Lin Chen like a golden sharp blade, instantly slicing open the space in front of his eyes like a curtain, revealing a dark crack.

Another beam of golden light leaped from the mark like a fish swimming swiftly, immediately darting into the crack and vanishing from sight.
