Chapter 2696: Chapter 2716: Lin Chen was stunned himself!

"Senior, do you really intend to get involved in this matter?"

Qi Gongji had disappeared without a trace, and Zhong Dechun was infuriated but had no solution to offer.

If the person was gone, what else could be done?

As long as Qi Gongji was alive, even if all others were killed, what use would that be? It would only provoke Qi Gongji’s fierce revenge. With his strength, how many could withstand a one-on-one assassination?

His being alive was a massive trouble!

Zhong Dechun had come prepared and certainly wouldn’t allow Qi Gongji to escape, but now the plan had completely failed.

Lin Chen naturally saw the Illusory Serpent Sect disciples bow their heads deeply; he even saw someone’s body quivering slightly, which was clearly not out of fear, but from trying to suppress laughter.

To laugh at a time like this, you sure have guts!

If my identity is exposed, you’re in big trouble!

Lin Chen ridiculed inwardly, but his expression remained calm and collected as he replied, "Haven’t I already intervened? When have I ever needed your approval for what I want to do?"

Zhong Dechun was originally skeptical, but with Qi Gongji vanishing silently and tracelessly under everyone’s watchful eyes, she became even less inclined to act rashly.

"The junior generation dares not. It’s just that we’ve already taken action today and have formed a deep grudge with him. Now that Senior has helped them, if he seeks revenge on us in the future..."

Lin Chen interrupted Zhong Dechun, "I have some connection with the Barbarian King. Since I stopped you, I won’t allow him to take revenge on you. After all, it’s not yet a fight to the death. I saved his life, and he must listen to me."

Zhong Dechun heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Chen’s words and bowed, "Since Senior insists, the junior generation will naturally comply. But now that you’ve come to the Southern Wilderness, would you be willing to accompany me back? I believe my father-in-law would be delighted to see you."

"Delighted?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Are you sure he would be delighted? I think he probably doesn’t want to see me again. After all, haha..."

Lin Chen didn’t finish his sentence, but Zhong Dechun and the others had already filled in the blanks.

The Barbarian King lost, suffered embarrassment, and had no face to see Sunset Star Lord again!

Lin Chen, without waiting for Zhong Dechun to respond, waved his hand dismissively, "You all go ahead, I still have matters to attend to. After I’m done, if there’s enough time, I might go see him."

Zhong Dechun nodded helplessly, "Yes, Senior, we will take our leave now."

Zhong Dechun waved his hand, leading a group of peak Great Luo Xian away, leaving behind those captured Illusory Serpent Sect disciples, and proceeded to leave briskly.

Lin Chen watched as Zhong Dechun and the others disappeared into the sky, completely dumbfounded.

Yes, even Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

They actually left!

They were actually fooled by him!

Incredible!

This avatar’s strength was only at the Great Luo level. If only they had swept their Divine Sense over him several times, his cover would have been blown. But they didn’t do so!

Just because he had appeared with the manner of a Quasi-Saint, they got scared away?

That was just too exaggerated!

This whole affair was simply outrageous!

Of course, the most exquisite part of it all was when Lin Chen’s avatar drew everyone’s attention, complimented by the actions of his true self.

The people surrounding Qi Gongji feared his dying counterattack and kept a distance, with dust and smoke covering the ground, allowing only Divine Sense to lock on to him. None of them considered the possibility of someone approaching Qi Gongji from underground stealthily.

Lin Chen transmitted his voice to Qi Gongji, asking for a display of spiritual energy fluctuations, which Qi Gongji cooperated with as if in a last desperate struggle.

The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations concealed Lin Chen’s underground approach; he silently emerged, conjured the Linglong Tower, and silently ensnared Qi Gongji inside the tower.

At the same time, Lin Chen immediately used Earth Escape to delve into the ground and then ceased all movement.

He had long coated himself with the Life and Death Secret Art, rendering him indistinguishable from a lifeless stone when motionless underground.

Thus, Qi Gongji had vanished silently and tracelessly, substantiating the avatar’s claims and delivering a profound shock to Zhong Dechun. After all, to achieve such a feat despite the sealed Array Formation implied that the adversary’s methods were inscrutable and beyond doubt.

And with Qi Gongji now gone, whether or not to kill the others no longer mattered, so she boldly chose to retreat.

Only then did all the Illusory Serpent Sect Elders and disciples, who had been bowing their heads, dare to look up, their eyes filled with admiration for Lin Chen.

Truly worthy of being a Battle Hall disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall!

That act was brilliantly executed!

Who would have thought that our group’s lives would be saved by him!

Lin Chen spoke up before anyone could voice their gratitude, "There’s no need for thanks; I was just passing by and couldn’t stand idly by."

Lin Chen’s words shocked everyone.

He was still acting, which meant that although Zhong Dechun and the others might have retreated, they could still be watching!

Realizing this, the people swiftly obliged, not daring to waste words, and quickly bowed, "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives!"

Lin Chen waved his hand, "Your Sect Master is too severely injured; I will take him away first. As for the rest of you... take care..."
