Chapter 2691: Chapter 2711: I’m Not Dead Yet, It’s Not Your Turn!

Inside the Linglong Tower, the Water Mirror in front of Lin Chen faded, turning pitch black.

Lin Chen’s tone was mocking as he said, "The avatar is gone, the old man is dead set on taking me back to report and close the case."

Shang Wenyin asked softly, "What should we do now?"

"We wait."

Lin Chen said nonchalantly, "Hiding in the Linglong Tower, no one can find us, not even if the Barbarian King himself makes a move, so don’t worry."

Shang Wenyin chuckled, "Were those last words you said a threat to the old man?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Consider it a statement. If the Barbarian King and his master’s family do not pursue this matter, then it naturally ends there. If they insist on pursuing it, the matter can’t be concluded, and there will be a follow-up. Just because I’m not capable now doesn’t mean I won’t be in the future. I can’t just let others bully me without fighting back."

Shang Wenyin couldn’t help but smile wryly, "He probably doesn’t know your nickname as the Professional Extinguisher of Families..."

Lin Chen laughed heartily, "They have the Barbarian King and Quasi-Saints above them; how could they regard such lowly immortals like us? What I’m worried about now is that the Barbarian Tribe might communicate with the Myriad Immortal Hall over this incident, and my identity could be exposed."

"There’s no fear in being exposed. After all, they can’t find us."

Shang Wenyin added before suddenly pausing, her expression dawning with realization, "Kong Ling?"

Lin Chen nodded, "We’re friends with Kong Ling, which is known to everyone. If our identities were exposed, he would most likely be in danger. That’s the only loophole right now."

"Let’s wait and see. Maybe it’s not as bad as I imagine. After all, by concealing the information to participate in the Bloodshed Array, one should bear the consequences of their choices, including death."

Shang Wenyin pursed her lips, "Yeah, let’s wait and see!"

...

Above the plains, the White-haired Elder left in anger.

Despite the unexpected turn of events, the outcome of the Bloodshed Array wasn’t affected, and the demon race emerged as the victor of this round.

The death of the Barbarian King’s grandson in the Bloodshed Array made both sides uneasy. They swiftly completed the formalities and set off on their respective journeys home.

Qi Gongji led all disciples back to the sect on the Six-winged Demon Snake, then commended all the disciples for their contributions and announced in front of everyone that disciple Kong Ling had earned the qualifications to cultivate the Sand Dragon Illusionary Divine Art because of his merits.

After making the announcement, Qi Gongji asked Lü Wenjing to stay behind.

"Wenjing, what were you doing before the Bloodshed Array?"

Lü Wenjing was puzzled, what did the Sect Master want to know this for?

"Replying to the Sect Master, I was just traveling around, broadening my experiences and insights, striving for an early breakthrough to become a Daluo Initial Immortal."

Qi Gongji stroked his beard and nodded calmly, "Good, this indeed is the most important thing for you. But there’s a task I need you to do for me personally."

Without hesitation, Lü Wenjing bowed and said, "Sect Master, please give your instructions!"

Qi Gongji spoke calmly, "Help me deliver a letter to an old friend. Once you’ve delivered it, listen to what he has to say. If there’s nothing urgent to report back to me, then don’t bother with it and continue your travels, attend to your own affairs, and strive for an early breakthrough!"

Lü Wenjing nodded, "Yes!"

Qi Gongji waved his hand, "This matter is somewhat urgent, and others who might be sent do not have the required stature, so I have to send you. You might not get much time for rest..."

Lü Wenjing answered without hesitating, "It’s okay, I’m not tired and can depart at any time."

Qi Gongji nodded with approval, "Good, you go and rest first. I’ll call for you later when I’ve prepared everything."

Lü Wenjing agreed and turned to walk towards the entrance, but he stopped in his tracks just at the doorway.

"Sect Master..."

Qi Gongji asked calmly, "What’s the matter?"

Lü Wenjing asked softly, "The grandson of the Barbarian King has died. Could this implicate our Illusory Serpent Sect?"

Qi Gongji said with a laugh, "Competitions are fair and just. Even if he’s the Barbarian King’s grandson, he has to abide by the rules set by the Barbarian Tribe and the demon race. Is his life the only one that matters, and not those of others?"

"Your actions were all for the victory of the demon race, which is definitely correct. His death just means he was unlucky. Even if the Barbarian King finds out, he won’t be able to make much of it. Don’t worry about this."

Lü Wenjing hesitated before saying, "If the Barbarian King is enraged and really demands an explanation, I can step forward. After all, I created that thing. Lin Chen is merely an executor..."

"I’m not dead yet, so it’s not your turn!"

Qi Gongji rebuked him sternly, "You’ve done nothing wrong; why should you pay with your life for others? Why should our Illusory Serpent Sect kneel before someone else? If they have any thoughts, let them come at me!"

Lü Wenjing felt moved and bowed, "Thank you, Sect Master."

Qi Gongji gazed at Lü Wenjing, the coldness in his eyes dissipating, "Understand well, and break through as soon as possible. You bear the future of our Illusory Serpent Sect on your shoulders, and the responsibility is not light..."
