Chapter 2689: Chapter 2709: Do you have no shame? I’m asking you, do you have no shame?

The massive tent entrance was flung open, and a line of people streamed in.

Lin Chen abruptly stood up, warily eyeing the group that barged in.

Although he had foreseen the nature of this confrontation, he still had to play his part in the show.

Among the group, there were several towering figures from the Barbarian Tribe, including Baled whom Lin Chen had met before, followed by the sullen-faced Qi Gongji, along with a few other powerhouses from various sects of the demon race.

"Sect Master, what is this about?"

Qi Gongji’s face was stern, and he didn’t speak, but Baled beside him couldn’t hold back anymore.

He hated Lin Chen to the bone!

Not only had he suffered a great loss at Lin Chen’s hands, but the final battle had also resulted in the Barbarian Tribe’s defeat because of Lin Chen’s interference.

"Lin Chen, right? Because of your despicable tricks, the Barbarian King’s grandson perished in the Blood Kill Setup. You owe us an explanation for this matter!"

Lin Chen asked with feigned confusion, "The Barbarian King? That Quasi-Saint from the Southern Wilderness? Who is his grandson? I don’t know him."

Baled explained, "He was with the Barbarian Tribe’s team. Because of your schemes, he fell into an illusionary realm, leading to his death in the first wave of the final battle!"

The confusion on Lin Chen’s face deepened, "Even if he was the Barbarian King’s grandson, since he joined the Blood Kill Setup, he naturally became our opponent. Why can’t the demon race employ tactics to achieve victory? There were no rules forbidding the use of strategies."

"What now, just because he is the Barbarian King’s grandson, a Quasi-Saint’s descendant, does that mean we’re not allowed to kill him, and we should just let him kill us? So, this sacred and solemn affair is nothing but a game in his eyes, one that allows him to disregard the rules whenever he pleases?"

"If his status is so esteemed, then you shouldn’t have let him compete. Keep him safe by the Barbarian King’s side, out of harm’s way. You want him to kill others but not to be killed himself—since when does the world work like that?"

"With this accusatory tone, are you actually expecting me to pay with my life? Right, is this the Barbarian King’s stance? Does the Barbarian King, relying on his status as a Quasi-Saint, act so unreasonably?"

As Lin Chen spoke, the faces of those across from him showed a variety of expressions.

The old figures among the demon race had expressions of excitement. They had already presented the same arguments, albeit in a more tactful and polite manner, as no one wanted to directly offend the Barbarian King.

Lin Chen’s words were short of directly cursing at the nose of the Barbarian King, giving everyone in the demon race a thrill of satisfaction.

This kid truly dared to be brave!

He would say anything, so defiant!

The expressions on the faces of the Barbarian Tribe members were quite something to behold, Lin Chen’s words were like harsh slaps directly across their faces.

Do you have any shame, any at all?

Does the Barbarian King also lack reason, lack shame?

You dare to call yourselves warriors, can’t accept defeat, and now you start to act shamelessly, right?

Baled’s face turned beet red, his eyes bulging with fury. He opened and closed his mouth several times but ended up saying nothing.

Though hot-headed, impulsive, and belligerent, at the end of the day, he still cared about face.

Indeed, the Barbarian Tribe had acted dishonorably—it was face-losing behavior.

He had been in a rage after losing the competition, and when he heard that Lin Chen was to be held responsible for the death of the Barbarian King’s grandson, his animosity toward Lin Chen prompted him to join them.

Now, Lin Chen’s counter-questions had doused the fire in his heart.

A man can lose, but he must not lose face.

He, Baled, known as invincible beneath the Begin Immortal, still cared about face. Thus, even though his face burned with humiliation from Lin Chen’s questioning, he couldn’t muster a rebuttal because Lin Chen was speaking the truth.

The other Barbarian Tribe big shots also appeared embarrassed, their gaze unanimously falling on a white-haired old man in the center, helping Lin Chen instantly recognize his identity.

He must be the personal servant of the grandson who tragically died in battle.

The master had died, and as his servant, he bore the blame. Was he preparing to use Lin Chen as a scapegoat to mitigate his own negligence?

It’s not that the servant underperformed, rather the demon race was too cunning!

Now, I’ve brought the real culprit of the demon race to you, please let the Barbarian King decide!

The White-haired Elder said gravely, "All that you’ve said is useless. In the world of cultivation, everything ultimately depends on strength. You killed someone who shouldn’t have died, and naturally, you should bear the responsibility!"

Logically, Lin Chen should have defended himself with "The one who killed your master wasn’t me; I’m merely a messenger," to shift the blame, but instead, Lin Chen simply laughed: "If you’re going to be shameless, just say so. Why go through such a tiresome tirade that leaves you out of breath?"

The White-haired Elder said coldly, "Come with me, your fate will be decided by His Majesty!"

Lin Chen chuckled and casually threw a token, "You think you, a mere servant, have the authority to arrest me and bring me to trial? You are not qualified!"

Everyone’s gaze fell on the token. Once they recognized it, their expressions subtly shifted.

The Battle Hall Token of Myriad Immortal Hall!

Lin Chen is a disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall!

The Barbarian Tribe’s leaders exchanged looks, their eyebrows knit tightly together, as their gaze rested on Qi Gongji, clearly hoping he could provide an explanation.

Qi Gongji explained calmly, "Lin Chen was originally a disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall. He visited our sect and hoped to learn the Illusory Serpent Sect’s Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art. I told him the technique was reserved for sect disciples, to which he replied that he could join the sect and was willing to partake in the Blood Kill Competition to prove his abilities..."
