Chapter 2789: Chapter 2809: The Three Goddesses of the North Sea, All Together!

"Alright, I’ll take a step back!"

Cui Wenxuan weighed the pros and cons in his heart, realizing that there seemed to be no good outcome whether he won or lost the battle, he made his choice without hesitation, "You may go, but Ning Xiayi must stay behind. Let’s pretend today’s events never happened!"

Lin Chen turned to Tia, "I want to keep her safe, can I?"

Tia rolled her eyes, "I’ll help you this one time, but if he catches up again, or brings people with him, I won’t be helping then, I’ll just run away!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Okay, her safety, just this once."

Tia turned her head, looked straight at Cui Wenxuan, and said coldly, "Did you hear that? You can’t take her today. If you want to take her back, come again next time."

Cui Wenxuan’s eyes were icy as he stared at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen shrugged his shoulders, spreading his hands with an indifferent attitude.

Cui Wenxuan suddenly raised his hand, and the thousands of flying swords in the sky immediately moved, merging into a long river of flying swords that cascaded down like the Star River, rushing towards Tia.

Endless demonic qi surged from Tia’s body, forming life-like snakes of demonic qi that met the raining swords head-on.

Streams of demonic qi were torn asunder, and swords were sent scattering in all directions from the violent clash.

The entire island shattered under the force of the severe collision. The sword qi tore apart the sea surface for thousands of miles around, and huge waves rose as if it were the end of the world.

Watching this scene, Lin Chen felt shocked to his core.

Too strong!

Luckily, Tia was here; otherwise, they might have met with great disaster this time.

Lin Chen wondered what sort of method Cui Wenxuan had used on Ning Xiayi. It seemed that after this encounter, she would have to hide in the Linglong Tower for a while, unable to leave, lest she be sensed by Cui Wenxuan, which would spell trouble.

The river of a million flying swords could not shatter the black ocean formed by the gathered demonic qi, breaking down instead into countless drops that scattered in all directions.

The black demonic qi blocked the million flying swords, steadfastly protecting the people underneath.

Now, only the area directly under where everyone stood remained intact from the complete destruction of the small island.

The Starry Sky Demon Beast was indeed ferocious!

Even though it was not yet mature, it already possessed the strength to suppress a peak Daluo Initial Immortal. However, Lin Chen, assessing the vast display of clashing demonic qi and flying swords, realized that Tia, though strong, was still not at the level where she could instantly suppress or even kill Cui Wenxuan.

With his full-force attack missing, Cui Wenxuan knew he could not take Ning Xiayi today. With a wave of his hand, the myriad of flying swords flew back, returning like decade-old birds to the forest, disappearing into the vastness of his sleeves.

Cui Wenxuan glanced at Ning Xiayi and said gravely, "You will pay the price for your decision today."

After speaking, Cui Wenxuan did not bother with Lin Chen anymore, his figure flashing as he turned into a radiance and vanished in an instant.

Lin Chen let out a sigh of relief. He had to admit, the pressure exerted by a top-tier powerhouse was immense.

Lin Chen’s combat power was strong at present; he was able to fight across levels, and might even defeat a Top-Grade Da Luo Supreme Immortal. However, in front of a Peak Daluo Initial Immortal like Cui Wenxuan, he still had no capacity to fight back.

I am still too weak!

Lin Chen turned to Tia, "How strong is he?"

Tia answered, "Very strong. I can defeat him, but it would be very difficult to kill him."

Lin Chen nodded and said decisively, "If we can’t afford to provoke him, let’s just hide. After all, we’re running away anyway, so it doesn’t matter. However, Fairy Ning must have been marked by some technique of Cui Wenxuan. Can you detect what it is?"

Tia shook her head, "I’m not good at that."

Lin Chen turned his gaze to Ning Xiayi, "Fairy Ning, the good news is we’ve survived this ordeal. The bad news is that you probably won’t be able to stay outside anymore. My magical treasure can block tracking signals, so you’ll have to stay inside temporarily until I find a more powerful person to see if the method used on you can be identified and resolved."

Ning Xiayi nodded without hesitation, "I will follow Young Master’s instructions!"

Lin Chen looked at Ning Xiayi and said with a laugh, "You might need to stay inside for many years. Can you stand it, or do you have other thoughts?"

Ning Xiayi shook her head, "I have nowhere else to go. Since I’ve been marked with a tracker, I will likely be captured and taken back if I leave."

"No matter how long I stay in the tower, there’s always hope. My life was saved by you, Young Master. Whatever you ask of me, I will do it."

Lin Chen waved his hand, "It’s not that exaggerated. We have no choice right now. Once this issue is resolved, you can go wherever you want."

Lan Qiangwei, standing beside them, suddenly spoke up with a light laugh, "Gui Xu Sect’s Shang Wenyin is also by your side, right? With this, you seem to have two of the Three Goddesses of the North Sea with you..."

Lin Chen joked, "Right, how about you also join in? Make it a perfect set?"
