Chapter 2690: Chapter 2710: If You Can’t Afford to Play, Then Don’t—Who Are You Trying to Disgust?

Lin Chen couldn’t help but glance sideways at Qi Gongji, inwardly sighing that none of these old foxes were easy to deal with!

The words of Qi Gongji were watertight, yet ambiguous, allowing for any interpretation that absolved him of any responsibility.

"Lin Chen can be considered a disciple of the Illusory Serpent Sect, but he has not formally joined, merely in a trial period. So if you insist on troubling him, go ahead, I can’t afford to offend the Barbarian King. At worst, I’ll just write this disciple off."

"As long as you can disregard his identity as a disciple of the Myriad Immortal Hall’s Battle Hall, then it’s fine, you don’t need to bother asking for my opinion."

"I have no objections!"

Everyone’s gaze once again converged on the face of the old servant, waiting to see how he would react.

The White-haired Elder looked at the Token Lin Chen had thrown out, his eyes showing a hint of hesitation.

Myriad Immortal Hall!

In the whole Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, who could afford to provoke Myriad Immortal Hall?

Even the Barbarian King, as a Quasi-Saint, wouldn’t dare to provoke the Hall Master.

A disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall, a grandson of the Barbarian King...

With determination, the White-haired Elder thought, even if you are a disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall’s Battle Hall, can you compare to the Barbarian King’s own grandson?

If I let you go and you escape, what would I do?

The mistress doted on this son enormously. Now that the child is dead, who knows how she will go mad?

Let’s take this kid back first to fulfill the duty; as for the Saint Child of the Illusory Serpent Sect, the sect is right there—he can’t run away. We can discuss that later!

The White-haired Elder said gravely, "My family’s old master is someone even the Hall Master treats with courtesy. His highly valued grandson, the future of the barbarian race, how could you, a mere Battle Hall disciple, even compare? Even if you represent Myriad Immortal Hall, you certainly don’t represent the Battle Hall!"

Lin Chen spread his hands and laughed, "If you must put it that way and insist on doing this, then so be it... Sect Master Qi, I won’t be joining your Illusory Serpent Sect then, just pretend you’ve never seen me."

Qi Gongji, realizing that Lin Chen’s words were deliberately distancing himself to prevent the Illusory Serpent Sect from getting involved, felt something complex, having a sensation that, despite living for tens of thousands of years, he still couldn’t compare to a young man.

"Fine!"

Sigh as he might, Qi Gongji readily agreed, knowing full well that the one present was merely an avatar and that its death would not be a loss to Lin Chen.

The White-haired Elder glanced at Qi Gongji, his eyes ice-cold, but he did not utter any words targeting Qi Gongji.

The Illusory Serpent Sect is one of the oldest sects in the Southern Wilderness, and although it has weakened, Qi Gongji is not one to be trifled with. He can brazenly bully Lin Chen because he has the strength to do so, but to wantonly insult Qi Gongji, as a mere servant, he was not qualified!

I’ll just take Lin Chen back to fulfill my duty; as for the Illusory Serpent Sect, that’s for my master and mistress to decide.

"Are you going to seal your own Sea of Knowledge and follow me, or shall I cripple you and take you with me?"

Lin Chen remained calm, even smiling slightly, "After all that talk, I still don’t know the name of your unlucky little master. You should at least say it so I can hear."

The White-haired Elder said nothing, but someone else answered, "The one called Jin Chengyuan, he’s the child of His Majesty’s second son."

Lin Chen nodded slowly, his eyes settling on the face of the White-haired Elder, "I don’t know what the future holds, maybe nothing will happen, or maybe something beyond your imagination. But I think, your decision, will eventually... change something."

Lin Chen lifted his chin, his eyes gradually becoming sharp, filled with intense defiance, "So now, I wish you good luck."

After finishing his words, Lin Chen quickly raised his hand, striking fiercely.

Just when everyone was startled, thinking Lin Chen would resist to the end and try to escape, his hand suddenly struck his own forehead.

"Bang!"

In everyone’s horrified eyes, Lin Chen’s body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood fog, instantly filling the room with a bloody smell.

Everyone’s eyelids twitched in shock.

Had he really committed suicide?

The next second, someone shouted, "That’s not the true self, it’s an avatar!"

The crowd came to their senses, right, Lin Chen has an Avatar Ability!

They had been deceived!

The eyes of the White-haired Elder turned red as he turned his head to look at Qi Gongji, who said calmly, "I have been with you the whole time..."

Although the White-haired Elder knew that Qi Gongji’s statement was just an excuse, that had said nothing of substance, and if he wanted to inform Lin Chen to escape, it would be easy enough.

"Qi Gongji, you can’t wash your hands of this matter either!"

Qi Gongji’s expression turned stern, and he chuckled coldly, "If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. Who are you disgust here? Otherwise, why not ask the Barbarian King himself to come over and seek so-called justice for his grandson?"

The Illusory Serpent Sect, as an ancient immortal sect, could give up everything, but not its dignity!

Even though the White-haired Elder was a confidant of the Barbarian King’s grandson, when he targeted the Illusory Serpent Sect, Qi Gongji did not spare him any courtesy and immediately retorted.

Though the White-haired Elder was not as powerful as Qi Gongji, the other barbarians would surely side with him. However, as the situation was now unreasonable, if it escalated further, other demon races would certainly become bitter enemies.

The White-haired Elder flung his hand dismissively, turning to leave, "Qi Gongji, just wait, this isn’t over!"

Qi Gongji sneered, "Sure, I’m waiting anytime!"
