Chapter 2642: Chapter 2662: Are you threatening me?

"Valley City Lord, is that... it?"

Gu Qinghai elegantly sheathed his sword, casually stabbing it into the void beside him, where it disappeared inch by inch.

"Yes, it’s done."

Lin Chen felt a surge of incredulity, finding it all too extravagant.

It was, after all, a service that charged a billion Spirit Stones, and yet he handled it with such a casual gesture, instantly giving others the illusion of "even I could do it."

It was akin to suffering from a terminal illness, finding no cure despite spending all one’s wealth, and then seeing a doctor who simply administers two injections before declaring the illness cured.

Those who know would praise your abilities, while those who don’t might suspect you of fraud.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell upon the Dark Ancestral Dragon, "Senior, how do you feel?"

The Dark Ancestral Dragon stretched its body, its large Dragon Eyes filled with excitement.

"I can no longer sense its presence, the fetters have been severed, I am free now, haha!"

It actually worked!

The cost was steep, but it was worth it.

The sword cures the ailment!

Lin Chen gave a formal bow, "Thank you, Senior, I’m deeply grateful."

Gu Qinghai stared at Lin Chen with a calm tone, "You have provided the agreed reward, so naturally, I fulfilled your request. It’s a transaction, there’s no need to thank me."

Lin Chen no longer dwelled on the matter, bidding farewell directly, "Then I won’t disturb the City Lord any longer, goodbye!"

"Wait a moment!"

Lin Chen stopped in his tracks, his expression slightly puzzled, "Does the City Lord have other matters?"

Gu Qinghai spoke indifferently, "Dragon Mountain Sect’s Master Floating Cloud’s disciple Lin Chen, do you know of him?"

Lin Chen’s eyelids twitched violently and cold sweat burst out on his back.

It’s bad!

Trouble has occurred!

With an expression of confusion, Lin Chen asked, "Dragon Mountain Sect? The one from Eastern Brilliance? I do not know them. Why do you ask, City Lord?"

Gu Qinghai asked serenely, "Then let me change the question. Zhen Liuxue, you know where she is, right?"

A chill ran down Lin Chen’s spine, cooling his heart.

He had come prepared!

Clutching at straws, Lin Chen continued to feign ignorance, "Zhen Liuxue, who is that? I’ve never heard of her."

Gu Qinghai said evenly, "Your appearance is not your own, right? Zhen Liuxue was rescued by the Saint of Thieves, and you’ve had contact with the Saint. You possess a Hundred Changes Pendant that a Shenkong Sect’s disciple would greatly desire; quite reasonable, isn’t it? Or do I need to capture you and perform the Soul-searching technique for you to be willing to speak?"

Lin Chen was at a loss for words, finding the situation extremely cryptic.

Based on just a few clues, he had guessed the entire truth.

Event one: He had revealed himself in the City of Nether Fire, requesting the God Burning Sword to help sever a bond, without revealing his identity.

Event two: On the flying boat, when the people from Molong City were hunting for Zhen Liuxue, they saw Shang Wenyin and tried to frame his group, forcefully capturing him, until he had no choice but to reveal his identity and mentioned having departed from Molong City, where he had made a registration that could be traced.

Event three: Zhen Liuxue killed the pursuer, and since then, had been moving together against Myriad Immortal Hall.

Event four: The Saint of Thieves rescued Zhen Liuxue, and he "died" at the hands of Sidao Wang.

Event five: He changed his appearance and came again to request that the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s bond be severed.

Severing the bond of a dragon’s good and evil entity was a highly unique matter, ultimately leading to his exposure.

It seemed they had been watching this place all along, just waiting for him to walk into their net.

Since they had reached this point in their conversation, Lin Chen no longer bothered to pretend and, with a thought, reverted to his original appearance.

"The Saint of Thieves even said that this trick wouldn’t be seen through by the average person. Seems like this item isn’t as formidable as he claimed," Lin Chen said with a laugh.

Gu Qinghai looked at Lin Chen, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen sighed, "It’s me, Valley City Lord. I’d like to ask, who asked you to wait here for me? Was it Molong City or Myriad Immortal Hall?"

Gu Qinghai frowned, "Weren’t you annihilated by a wave of the Hall Master’s hand? You’re still alive?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "The Hall Master is very strong, but after all, he’s still human, not an all-knowing, omnipotent divine spirit. Fooling him once doesn’t seem so bad, right?"

Gu Qinghai said coldly, "Reborn from flesh and blood, or perhaps, an avatar?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "City Lord, since you’ve already helped sever his fetters, why not pretend you haven’t seen me? Let’s never meet again, and thus sever our paths?"

Gu Qinghai sneered, "Why should I?"

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "First, you can’t kill me, or rather, killing me would be pointless. Second, aside from Zhen Liuxue, don’t forget that I also have the Saint of Thieves by my side. He loves to steal things. When he rescued Zhen Liuxue, he didn’t forget to steal Pang Yuanzhen’s Sky-Swallowing Altar from Lingxiao Gate, leaving Pang Yuan infuriated yet helpless. Your God Burning Sword looks quite fine too; I’m sure he’d be very interested..."

Gu Qinghai scrutinized Lin Chen, frowning, "An avatar?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Knowing the danger of meeting you, why would I risk coming here in person? If you kill me, you’ll gain nothing and you’ll offend me. It’s completely unnecessary to make an enemy out of thin air, isn’t it?"

Gu Qinghai said coldly, "Offend you? Are you threatening me?"
