Chapter 2726: Chapter 2746: Lin Chen Seduces, Leading Her to Desert the Sect!

Lin Chen took a sip of wine, the corners of his mouth turning up ever so slightly.

Indeed, in this world of martial arts, it wasn’t just about how strong you were, but also about power and backing!

As the Holy Maiden of Li Hai Sect, Lan Qiangwei was certainly powerful, but she definitely wasn’t a Peak Great Luo Xian. She knew the trouble her beauty could cause. She dared to walk around so openly because of her confidence in her strength and in her sect’s support.

In the Northern Sea, who would dare to offend Lan Qiangwei? That would be asking for death, wishing for their entire clan to be annihilated, wouldn’t it?

Lan Qiangwei’s expression was calm, her attitude toward the people was neither cold nor warm.

Not far behind Lin Chen, a handsome man around thirty-five or thirty-six years old smiled and saluted Lan Qiangwei with his hands: "Fairy Lan, it’s been a long time!"

Everyone’s eyes immediately fell on that man. Judging by his tone, did this man know Lan Qiangwei?

Lan Qiangwei’s gaze lingered on the man, her brows slightly furrowed as if she were pondering something, making the atmosphere suddenly become awkward.

The man’s complexion turned slightly unnatural. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had greeted her, but she had not responded, which was a bit embarrassing.

Just as the man was about to introduce himself, Lan Qiangwei’s brows relaxed, and she calmly responded, "Gui Xu Sect’s Saint Child, Zuo Dongxu, right?"

His eyes brightened, and a smile spread across Zuo Dongxu’s face: "Yes, Fairy Lan has a good memory!"

Lan Qiangwei and Zuo Dongxu obviously didn’t have a deep relationship, otherwise, she wouldn’t need a moment to recall his identity and name. She calmly smiled, "Indeed, it’s been a long time... Has Fairy Shang arrived yet?"

Everyone’s interest was piqued, their gossip-hearing ears perked up.

That’s right, doesn’t Gui Xu Sect also have a Shang Wenyin?

The Three Great Goddesses, could they possibly all gather together?

Zuo Dongxu’s face stiffened, and after hesitating for two seconds, he spoke, "Shang Wenyin defected from Gui Xu Sect and has been in hiding ever since. Currently, our sect is sparing no effort in searching for her whereabouts..."

He paused for a moment, then saluted in all directions: "Should any fellow cultivator have information on Shang Wenyin’s whereabouts, please inform us. Gui Xu Sect will surely reward you handsomely, and you will not be disappointed!"

Upon hearing Zuo Dongxu’s words, the entire hall suddenly burst into commotion.

"Shang Wenyin has defected from the sect?"

"Why would she leave Gui Xu Sect? Isn’t she practicing the Primordial Xuan Water Technique of the sect? Shouldn’t she be one of the sect’s carefully cultivated prodigies?"

"Could it be because of her beauty that she caught the eye of a big shot in Gui Xu Sect, and rather than submit, she chose to flee?"

"I thought she was coming, so we could see the Three Great Goddesses together. What a pity!"

Although Gui Xu Sect’s reputation in the Northern Sea could not compare to one of the Twelve Immortal Sects like Li Hai Sect, it was still considered a first-rate power. As its Saint Child, Zuo Dongxu was well-known by many.

"Daoist Zuo, Fairy Shang should be one of your sect’s prodigies, a key figure for cultivation, right? Why did she defect?"

"Yeah, do tell."

After all, it’s about one of the Three Great Goddesses, and now that everyone has time to spare, naturally, they’re curious.

Zuo Dongxu spoke with a grave voice: "She was seduced by Lin Chen, the direct disciple of the number one expert of Dragon Mountain Sect, Master Floating Cloud. Taking advantage of a mission outside, she eloped with Lin Chen. I believe she is probably with Lin Chen right now. If anyone knows the whereabouts of Lin Chen, please also tell us."

"Oh, and by the way, that Lin Chen is wanted by the Myriad Immortal Hall for an Order of Ten Thousand Immortals because he followed Quasi-Saint Zhen Liuxue in an attempt to kill our Hall Master, committing heinous crimes. He has already defected from Dragon Mountain Sect, so there’s no need to worry about Dragon Mountain Sect saying anything."

Lin Chen, who was sipping from his wine glass, suddenly widened his eyes, almost choking on the wine. He quickly grabbed some chopsticks, picked up a few morsels of food, stuffed them into his mouth, and managed to suppress the choking sensation.

Guan Xia, who was sitting opposite Lin Chen, had her eyes slightly narrowed, her gaze turning a bit curious. Why was he reacting so strongly to what Zuo Dongxu said?

Lin Chen truly hadn’t expected to encounter someone from Gui Xu Sect in this place, and even less that Gui Xu Sect would pin the blame of Shang Wenyin leaving the sect on him.

He was accused of seducing Shang Wenyin?

They really dared to say anything.

So they thought that since he was already wanted by the Myriad Immortal Hall and Dragon Mountain Sect wouldn’t dare to support him, they could blatantly place the blame on him?

Lin Chen noticed Guan Xia’s subtle gaze and explained, "I didn’t expect that Shang Wenyin, one of the Three Great Goddesses, could be seduced by a man and defect from the sect. To make Shang Wenyin do such a thing, that man’s charm must be quite something."

Hey, praising myself!

Somehow, this feels a bit strange!

Guan Xia handed over a handkerchief, speaking softly, "This is only one side of the story; it might not be the truth."

Lin Chen looked at Guan Xia with surprise, "You think it’s fake?"

Guan Xia avoided eye contact, her gaze lowered: "I’ve heard that Fairy Shang is cultivating the Ancient Xuan Water Technique, a peerless heart method, and she is the only person in the entire sect who has comprehended it. She definitely has a bright future. Defecting from the sect for a man seems unlikely.

Moreover, that Lin Chen, as the direct disciple of Dragon Mountain Sect’s number one powerhouse, Master Floating Cloud, has a very high status, which would match her perfectly. Under such circumstances, even a normal relationship, coming together would be normal, wouldn’t it? Why would there be a need for her to defect from the sect?"
