Chapter 2750: Chapter 2770: Sudden Urge to Kill

Many demon spiders were killed or injured, and the surviving ones all fled towards the north, with Cui Wenxuan leading people in an extended pursuit.

The combat power of these demon spiders was truly formidable; even though they were defeated, they managed to break through the encirclement despite being hunted by so many powerhouses and then disappeared underground, leaving no trace.

Cui Wenxuan returned, looking at the Gathering Immortal Island base that had turned into ruins, his face somber.

"Count the dead and injured!"

Soon, the count was finished, and looking at the numbers reported, Cui Wenxuan had a clear look of pain in his eyes.

The losses were not small!

Although many people were not disciples of Gathering Immortal Island, but contract-bound adventurers who stayed here, what difference was there between them and the disciples of Gathering Immortal Island as long as they stayed here?

The Gathering of Immortals Meet that happened only once in five hundred years, all for nothing!

Cui Wenxuan suppressed his heartache, arranged for physicians to treat all the injured, and at the same time cleaned up the many Main Halls and high towers that had become ruins, to rebuild a new base.

The new base was quickly put in order, and everyone moved into the new base.

Guan Xia stopped behind the people, "Lin Xi, thank you for saving me, but I can’t stay here, I have to go back!"

Lin Chen turned and said with a laugh, "Alright, go back first. Next time something like this happens, don’t be foolish by yourself."

Guan Xia pursed her lips, "Okay!"

Guan Xia took a few steps away but then stopped again, turning her head, "Young Master..."

Lin Chen turned around, looking at Guan Xia’s face, which seemed hesitant to speak, and gently asked, "Is there something else?"

Guan Xia twisted her fingers together, seemingly mustering up the courage, and whispered, "If one day you decide to leave here, could you let me know?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Sure! I won’t sneak away, I will definitely inform you!"

Guan Xia nodded her head, slightly embarrassed under the watchful eyes of everyone, not daring to talk more, took one more glance at Lin Chen, then quickly left.

Lan Qiangwei said softly, "She’s taken to you."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It’s not that easy to be smitten, how long have I known her?"

Lan Qiangwei shook her head, "I am a woman, and I understand a woman’s feelings better. Besides, whether a man takes to a woman, or a woman takes to a man, it often doesn’t develop over a long time spent together. It’s usually from the first meeting, looking at the other person’s face, looking into their eyes, that joy is born in the heart, along with affection."

"You were very kind to her before, and you just saved her life. Isn’t it normal to take to someone out of gratitude?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I saved you too, did you take to me as well?"

Lin Chen’s direct question caught Lan Qiangwei off guard for a moment, but she responded without hesitation, "The moment you protected me behind you, I was actually quite moved. Despite the danger, you actually came out to shield me. Not just anyone would do that."

Lan Qiangwei paused, her bright eyes gazing directly at Lin Chen, "Because of my looks and status, I have many admirers. But in such a life-threatening moment, it’s not certain if anyone would stand in front of me because they like me and protect me with their own life."

Lin Chen didn’t expect Lan Qiangwei to speak so candidly, not even avoiding the presence of Zuo Dongxu and others nearby.

Lin Chen glanced at Zuo Dongxu and noticed a flicker in his eyes, as if embarrassed.

Wasn’t Lan Qiangwei talking about him?

He liked Lan Qiangwei, but he dared not risk his life for her!

Zuo Dongxu suddenly resented Lin Chen. If everyone had been busy trying to save themselves, it would have been fair, but while I was running for my life, you went and saved Lan Qiangwei!

Lan Qiangwei herself said it, she was moved at the time, extremely grateful.

I seem to have ended up as a mere foil, the kind that’s humiliating and loses face.

What strength did this kid have again?

A Loose Cultivator, no matter how formidable in Strength, how far could he go?

If he died, a rescue and a fondness for him would all become as ephemeral as an Illusionary mirage, and Lan Qiangwei might soon forget him.

Just in that moment, Zuo Dongxu developed an intent to assassinate Lin Chen, and firmed up the decision.

Look for an opportunity to kill Lin Chen!

Just as everyone was preparing to enter the house, a man walked out and politely said, "Fairy Lan, the Island Master has requested your presence!"

Lan Qiangwei followed the man to the Main Hall, which had collapsed in one corner, where Island Master Cui Wenxuan was waiting for her.

"Fairy Lan, if it wasn’t for your prior warning to us, allowing us some time to prepare, I fear our losses would have been much greater, and many more people would have died..."

Cui Wenxuan looked at her earnestly, "The rules of Gathering Immortal Island are to punish the wrong and reward the meritorious. Fairy Lan, if there is something you desire, or a goal you wish to achieve, tell me, and I will do my utmost to help you achieve it."

Lan Qiangwei gazed at Cui Wenxuan, asking for confirmation, "Island Master Cui, do you really want to reward me, for such a great merit?"

Cui Wenxuan affirmed, "Yes, it’s an outstanding merit that must be rewarded!"

Lan Qiangwei pondered for a few seconds, then said, "If you truly want to reward me, why not give me some points..."
