Chapter 2730: Chapter 2750: After all this time, you still haven’t given up?

The seating incident settled into dust with a statement by Lan Qiangwei, and those at the table looked at Lin Chen with two extra degrees of feigned enthusiasm.

After all, it was Lan Qiangwei who praised Lin Chen for having a benevolent and kind-hearted nature, wasn’t it?

Soon, all the guests had arrived and filled the banquet seats. Lin Chen glanced around and estimated that there were at least eleven hundred people in the hall.

Quite a few!

Gathering Immortal Island certainly had a strong pull; among those who came were not only the gifted individuals from ordinary forces but also people from Myriad Immortal Hall.

Seeing these people, Lin Chen’s heart became even more at ease.

Even with its audacity, Gathering Immortal Island wouldn’t dare to harm these individuals, unless they no longer cared about their reputation.

Out of a passage within the Main Hall, a group of people emerged, each with an extraordinary aura.

"They’re here!"

"Is that the Island Master of Gathering Immortal Island, Cui Wenxuan, leading the way at the front?"

"It must be him, the aura of these people is so formidable!"

"Eh, isn’t that Chen Ruitian, the unrivaled genius of the Iron Soul Sect?"

"Gu Sanniang! The Iron-blooded Fairy Gu Sanniang is actually on Gathering Immortal Island!"

As these individuals appeared, the hall erupted in murmurs, mixed with many exclamations of surprise.

Lin Chen roughly understood that these recognizably famed powerhouses or geniuses were all well-known in the Northern Sea.

Gathering Immortal Island had truly enlisted a number of powerhouses!

A refined and elegant man with grace took to the platform at the forefront of the Main Hall, his clear voice resonating throughout the entire space.

"Fellow cultivators who have come from afar, hello to you all, I am the Island Master of Gathering Immortal Island, Cui Wenxuan. I solemnly welcome every guest’s arrival..."

Cui Wenxuan’s speech was filled with enthusiasm and welcoming words, but it lacked any substantive content, which left Lin Chen slightly disappointed.

"Why didn’t he mention how to exchange for the items we need?"

Someone at the same table softly expressed their doubts, and Lan Qiangwei crisply replied, "Those who wish to stay don’t need to be held back, and those who wish to leave cannot be retained, didn’t he say that? If guests have any thoughts or requests, they can contact their handmaids. Just speak up, and the handmaids will naturally arrange everything for you."

"Resource exchanges are extremely secretive matters. Who would want others to know what they seek and what they must pay? Surely communications and contracts will all occur privately."

"These transactions are secret affairs that happen below the stage and could never be discussed openly. At least publicly, Gathering Immortal Island will not give anyone an excuse."

Zuo Dongxu laughed softly, "Then I must go and talk to them in private."

Lan Qiangwei turned her head, "Your Gui Xu Sect possesses exquisite techniques. You wouldn’t still need to exchange for a cultivation technique, would you? Could it be you’re hoping Gathering Immortal Island can help you find Shang Wenyin?"

Zuo Dongxu’s face stiffened slightly, and after a two-second silence, he admitted, "That is indeed our intention if they have a way to make it happen."

Wow, you still haven’t given up?

Lin Chen was taken aback, so many years had passed, yet you still hope to find her?

Your Ancestral Master wants to break through and ascend to a Quasi-Saint, and the greed has not yet died, has it?

Wasn’t it said that after one’s body is broken, there would be no effect?

It’s been such a long time since I took her away, how can you still believe she hasn’t been deflowered?

Are you looking down on me?

Lin Chen internally criticized, yet he could roughly guess what Gui Xu Sect was pondering.

To become a Quasi-Saint is to step beyond and soar above the many Peak Great Luo Initial Immortals, a grand existence where one step means a world of difference.

As long as there was the slightest chance, why would the Gui Xu Sect Ancestor abandon hope?

They must be completely certain there’s no hope before giving up, especially since Shang Wenyin possesses the Ancient Xuan Water Technique. If Shang Wenyin gets away, it’s feared that the Ancient Xuan Water Technique would also spread because of this.

So, whether it’s for ascending to Quasi-Saint or for the Ancient Xuan Water Technique, as long as there’s an opportunity, they must bring Shang Wenyin back.

Lin Chen quietly calculated; by now, shouldn’t all of them have left the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain? With such distance, Gathering Immortal Island shouldn’t be able to find them, should it?

No matter what, he still needed to keep an eye on this matter.

Gu Maduo said solemnly, "Lin Chen and Shang Wenyin might be together, and the dying Zhen Liuxue should be with them as well. What I seek is indeed related to your pursuit, which can be considered as one in the same."

Zuo Dongxu nodded, "That’s certainly the case. If there’s any news, we can exchange intelligence."

"Agreed!"

Lin Chen became even more restless internally. It turned out that their purpose for coming here was to capture him?

If Gathering Immortal Island truly had a way, he might have no choice but to consider taking these two down!

Zuo Dongxu turned his gaze towards Lan Qiangwei, shifting the topic to her, "Fairy Lan, you surely have your own needs which are why you came, right? After all, fine food, drink, and pretty women surely wouldn’t catch Fairy Lan’s eyes."

Lan Qiangwei nodded lightly, "Of course."

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lan Qiangwei, waiting for her to continue, but she spoke only a sentence and then closed her mouth.

Clearly, she didn’t want to discuss it.

Listening to their conversation, Lin Chen was quite surprised; these people had all come well-prepared. It seemed that Gathering Immortal Island was even more powerful than he had imagined!
