Chapter 948: Chapter 968: You Speak Boldly Because You Have Someone Backing You, Right?_1

An Ziwu was stunned.

The Ancient Zhu Family, Hua Yue Sect, Moday Sect, and others were all formidable in their own right, with each having a highly-ranked young disciple and future star. Their status was no less than that of being the Son of Penglai.

Unexpectedly, they all chose to stand by Lin Chen’s side to support him!

An Ziwu sneered, "I didn’t force him. It was his own choice. If he’s afraid, he can just back out; but don’t say I’ve been pushing him too hard."

Long Yan’er smiled and said, "Of course you didn’t force him, just like no one forced him to save us in the True Dragon Secret Realm when facing the overwhelming pressure of the True Dragon’s Soul. Similarly, no one forced you to betray Lin Chen in a split second. Nowadays, who doesn’t value their own choices?"

An Ziwu’s face turned pale.

Betrayal?

This matter had caused a minor conflict after they had left the Secret Realm, but it hadn’t spread widely. Now that Long Yan’er had brought up the past in front of so many people, wasn’t this a slap in his face?

Zhu Yao chuckled and sarcastically said, "Oh, you didn’t mention it, but I almost forgot. Lin Chen saved our lives, and we haven’t even had time to express our gratitude. However, An Ziwu is so awesome that not only does he show no gratitude, but he also wants to confront and deal with his savior. Tsk, how impressive, really impressive..."

Long Yan’er’s words seem to have uncovered An Ziwu’s long-held grudge, while Zhu Yao ruthlessly poured salt on his wounds.

Everyone’s gazes towards An Ziwu changed.

This guy is no good!

Biting the hand that fed him!

Lin Chen saved your life, and you repaid him by betraying him!

Well, in the True Dragon Secret Realm, you could argue that you were under the threat of the True Dragon and had no choice but to speak up; and it shouldn’t have been just you shouldering the pressure. So your decision to speak up was somewhat understandable.

But now, there’s no True Dragon pressuring you, right?

No matter what, you shouldn’t attack Lin Chen or humiliate the person who saved your life, right?

"Hey, ungrateful wretch!"

"Such a cold-hearted person. Don’t you think it’s because he betrayed Lin Chen before that he finds it increasingly awkward and hopes to prove something through this incident?"

"I think he’s just eager for Lin Chen to die. Once Lin Chen dies, this matter will gradually be forgotten. Otherwise, he will be humiliated for the rest of his life."

"The Son of Penglai, haha, what a despicable person!"

On the flying boat of Four Penglai Sects, Chen Meifeng remained silent, acting as if the matter had nothing to do with her. On the flying boat of the Di Yuan Sect next to her, Sect Master Guo Yuan Hai watched everything with a gloomy expression, hesitating to speak.

An Ziwu’s face was ashen. The mocking, contemptuous, and sneering gazes from everyone felt like sharp swords, making him extremely uncomfortable.

What is the point of fighting now?

Even if he wins, so what?

The label of being ungrateful and seeking vengeance for kindness will probably be permanently pinned on his head from now on.

An Ziwu sneered, "You must have calculated this outcome before provoking me, knowing that in the end, it wouldn’t lead to a fight, right?"

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "As I said, if you want to fight, I will accompany you. Life and death are at one’s own risk. It’s one thing that they want to help me, but it’s another thing to solve my own problems."

An Ziwu snorted coldly, "So you are so assertive because you have people backing you. There’s no point in fighting now. We’ll have a chance to spar properly later."

Seeing the situation, Lin Chen knew that An Ziwu no longer wanted to fight, and the fight was unlikely to happen.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting for you anytime."

An Ziwu turned around and left. If he stayed a few more minutes, he wouldn’t be able to suppress the anger in his heart.

An Ziwu regretted it. If he had known, he should have asked Lin Chen to go to a remote place and killed him directly. Wouldn’t that have settled everything once and for all?

He initially wanted to humiliate Lin Chen, but in the end, he was the one who was humiliated and had his reputation tarnished.

Guo Yuan Hai walked into the boat and looked at An Ziwu, who was sitting on a chair with clenched fists and a frustrated face, and coldly asked, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

An Ziwu replied solemnly, "I forgot that many sects from West Xuanzhou had come, and many of them were members of the West Xuanzhou Team. They would definitely help Lin Chen."

Guo Yuan Hai shook his head, "You forgot that your life was also saved by Lin Chen."

An Ziwu’s face changed, "So just because of this, should I just put up with him?"

Guo Yuan Hai sneered, "Who asked you to swallow your anger and put up with him?"

An Ziwu asked with a puzzled expression, "Sect Master, what do you mean?"

Guo Yuan Hai said coldly, "He saved your life, and you betrayed him in the Secret Realm. No matter what reason, you’re already in the wrong. If you’re displeased with him and want to deal with him, you should be aware of your surroundings and not give people a chance to criticize you."

"You foolishly chose to act under public scrutiny, even deliberately luring so many people over. In the end, who ended up being humiliated? If I were you, I would keep quiet, secretly keep an eye on Lin Chen, wait until the entrance of the Valley of Death, and then seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow when he is alone, ending it once and for all."
