Chapter 1985: Chapter 2005: It’s Easy to Invite the Divine Spirit but Difficult to Send It Away _1
Zhou Yongfu stared at Lin Chen, always having a sense that this kid meant trouble. Lingering within his spoken words, aside from sheer arrogance, there was a strong sense of ill-will.
"What transpired?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Upon hearing of the White Crane Immortal Sect’s attack, I conducted an investigation only to find out that Heaven’s Alliance members were hiding within the Boundless Sword Sect. I went there to crusade against them on behalf of the White Crane Immortal Sect, in hope of seeking justice."
"Who would have known that those who first took action against me were several green-cloaked, green-masked immortals from Tai Tian. Upon questioning, I learned that they were assassins sent by the Greencloud Valley Sect to assist Heaven’s Alliance — paid mercenaries at work..."
Zhou Yongfu frowned, "Then what?"
Lin Chen gave a small laugh, his gaze, however, two degrees colder. "They were paid professionals, after my life. But I didn’t want to die. So naturally, I had no choice but to kill them. But I figured that, since you guys are in a business where life and death are part of the job, this isn’t anything particularly important. Surely, you wouldn’t blame me, would you?"
Sima Jinlin sprang to his feet, staring in shock at Lin Chen, "They’re all dead?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, not only them, but also Zhao Yukun, the Blue-Clothed Blood Envoy of the Sky Path Alliance, Wujijianzong Cui Xuefeng, and all their powerful underlings. They all perished. After all, they preemptively struck the White Crane Immortal Sect. They needed to pay the appropriate price, didn’t they?"
Sima Jinlin glared at Lin Chen, "Did you kill them?"
"Kind of."
Lin Chen’s response was nonchalant, "They’re risk-takers in business. Wins and losses are to be expected. I assume you wouldn’t hold this against me either."
There was an intense killing intent in Sima Jinlin’s voice, "You killed our people and dared to show your face in Greencloud Valley. You’ve got quite the nerve!"
Lin Chen retorted with a laugh, "I dared to point fingers and curse at the Sky Path Alliance Master. Why wouldn’t I dare to set foot in Greencloud Valley? What, do you intend to keep me here?"
Zhou Yongfu held Sima Jinlin back and spoke in a deep voice, "Did you come here just to show off your power?"
Lin Chen shook his head, "No, as I’ve said, I came to strike a deal with you. One that concerns the life and death of the entire Greencloud Valley."
Zhou Yongfu said coldly, "Speak plainly."
Lin Chen replied with a smile, "I’ve heard that your Greencloud Valley uses a Mother Gu King Insect to control all the assassins. I would like to witness that for myself. Would Valley Master Zhou be able to grant my request?"
Zhou Yongfu scoffed coldly, "The Mother Gu King Insect is the core of our Greencloud Valley, we can’t just give it to you."
Lin Chen added, "Valley Master Zhou, are you sure you wouldn’t reconsider? Hand the Mother Gu King Insect over to me and perhaps the Greencloud Valley could survive. If not, the entire valley might become a thing of the past..."
Zhou Yongfu sneered, "Lin Chen, despite being an envoy of the Immortal Palace, remember that you are just an envoy. Aren’t you afraid of biting your tongue off?"
Lin Chen with a laugh, "Seems like there’s no use discussing this deal further, is there?"
Zhou Yongfu sneered.
Sima Jinlin also scoffed.
The murderous intent in their eyes was palpable.
Lin Chen had killed the assassins they had sent from Greencloud Valley and had the cheek to challenge them, even blatantly demanding the Mother Gu King Insect. It was obvious that he was trampling them underfoot!
What humiliation! Unbearable!
Has Greencloud Valley ever endured such insult?
Lin Chen clapped his hands, "Since negotiations have failed, I guess it’s time to take my leave."
Lin Chen stood up and walked out of the main hall with indifference.
Zhou Yongfu didn’t stop him, and neither did Sima Jinlin.
There were many experts in Greencloud Valley. It was easy to enter but leaving was a challenge. Without their permission, where could he go?
If they were going to kill, then they should do it outside, lest they ruin the buildings here. That’d be such a nuisance!
Lin Chen stepped out of the main hall and onto the cobblestone square in front, where he halted.
At this moment, many green-cloaked people emerged from all directions, sealing off all routes of escape.
These well-trained individuals stood in no particular formation but effectively sealed off all possible escape routes.
Zhou Yongfu stood in the doorway of the main hall and spoke solemnly, "Lin Chen, you brazenly killed my people and walked in here prominently. Did you ever consider that you might never walk out?"
Lin Chen smiled lightly, "I only worried about not being able to get in. After all, your place is rather well-hidden, and it was truly not easy to find you. But now that I’m in, there’s an old saying that inviting the deity is easy but sending it away is hard. Once I’ve entered, it wouldn’t be so easy for you to get me to leave."
Lin Chen’s gaze fell on Zhou Yongfu. His smile brighter than ever, "Valley Master Zhou, you had an opportunity for a way out, but you rejected it yourself. You can’t blame me then. I have a big gift for you all. Enjoy!"
With a flick of his wrist, the Linglong Tower appeared before Lin Chen, quickly enlarged, and radiated a golden light the next. It instantly absorbed Lin Chen and Shu Zi Feng into the tower.
Zhou Yongfu’s pupils contracted slightly. His intuition told him that the tower was no ordinary object.
"Set up the formation. We can’t let that tower get away!"
