Chapter 706: Chapter 706: Ouyang Jin’s Intentions

Facing the summons of the Elders Council, Xia Wanxin naturally guessed that it wouldn’t be anything good.

She had intended to help Lin Chen refuse, but was stopped by him.

After all, a summons from the Elders Council was something that couldn’t be avoided.

"May I ask, Senior Brother, do you know why the Elders Council has summoned me?"

Lin Chen asked the Law Enforcement Disciple from the Formation Sect who had come to summon him.

The disciple who came to call Lin Chen to see the Elders Council was dressed differently from the other disciples, and had a long sword hanging at his waist.

After Lin Chen looked at the Law Enforcement Hall disciple and asked, the latter just smiled and then shook his head.

"What the elders want to do is not for us to question, we are just messengers. Junior Brother Lin Chen, please just come with us."

The Law Enforcement Disciple said.

Hearing this, Lin Chen knew that he couldn’t avoid the matter.

"Then please, Senior Brother, lead the way."

Lin Chen said to the Law Enforcement Disciple.

Seeing that Lin Chen was really going to follow the Law Enforcement Disciple to meet the Elders Council, Xia Wanxin became very worried and immediately grabbed Lin Chen’s arm.

"There’s no need to worry, nothing will happen."

"After I leave, I’ll trouble you to look after Junior Sister Qiu Ya."

Lin Chen patted Xia Wanxin’s hand and then followed the Law Enforcement Disciple away.

However, just as the two had left Xia Wanxin’s courtyard, they saw a figure swiftly flying towards them through the sky.

It was Qin Kaifeng.

Seeing Lin Chen was about to leave with the Law Enforcement Disciple, Qin Kaifeng sighed inwardly, realizing he was too late.

That the Qin Family had received no news of the Elders Council summoning Lin Chen suggested that the Law Enforcement Hall and the Elders Council had intentionally kept it quiet.

At this moment, the Law Enforcement Disciple who was to meet with Lin Chen was named Shen Rui.

"Junior Brother Qin seems to be in such a hurry, may I know why you’ve come here?"

Shen Rui asked, facing the arriving Qin Kaifeng with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Kaifeng briefly furrowed his brow, then quickly adjusted his demeanor.

"Brother Lin, who is this, a new friend of yours? Didn’t we agree yesterday to play chess together today?"

"If you’ve made a new friend and want to break our appointment, you should have told me in advance."

Qin Kaifeng said to Lin Chen calmly.

With no choice, Lin Chen could only smile wryly.

"It turns out the two of you had an arrangement, but it’s a pity that today the Elders Council has summoned Junior Brother Lin Chen, and Junior Brother Qin might have to play chess alone."

Shen Rui glanced at Qin Kaifeng and said indifferently.

"No matter, naturally the affairs of the Elders Council are somewhat more urgent, and the game of chess can be played any day."

"It’s just that I don’t know why the Elders Council has summoned Junior Brother Lin Chen this time?"

Qin Kaifeng also asked the same question that Lin Chen had asked earlier.

However, Shen Rui just shook his head and still did not provide an answer.

"That really puts me in a tough spot, Junior Brother Qin. I am simply a messenger, and I indeed do not know the thoughts of the Elders Council."

"Even your Qin Family doesn’t know, so how could I possibly know?"

Shen Rui said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Kaifeng also smiled faintly.

Then, Qin Kaifeng gave Lin Chen and Shen Rui a cupped fist salute.

"If Junior Brother Lin Chen has important matters to attend to, then please go ahead. I’ll wait for your return, Junior Brother Lin Chen, to continue our game of chess."

After Qin Kaifeng spoke, he took flight and left.

Qin Kaifeng’s courtesy with Shen Rui here was naturally not for the sake of engaging in these meaningless actions.

Instead, he used a secret sound transmission to convey a message from his Qin Family to Lin Chen.

The most important piece of information was that the Peak Master of Tianyuan Peak, Ouyang Jin, had emerged from seclusion.

It’s well known that Ouyang Jin’s master is Ding Xingzheng.

Within the Formation Sect, excluding the current Sect Leader Shi Wanshan, among the Peak Masters, Ouyang Jin’s strength is the strongest.

This man is only just over two hundred years old, yet ten years ago his Cultivation had already reached the Half-step Nirvana Realm.

Within the Formation Sect, no one within the Half-step Nirvana Realm could match him.

It is said that Ouyang Jin is the person with the most formidable talent in the past thousand years of the Formation Sect.

And now, the second piece of news brought by Qin Kaifeng is that Ouyang Jin’s Cultivation has already broken through to the Nirvana Realm.

When Ouyang Jin was only at the Half-step Nirvana Realm, within the Formation Sect, aside from the ancestors and the Sect Leader Shi Wanshan, there was no one who could oppose him.

Now that this fellow’s Cultivation has made a breakthrough, naturally it has become even more difficult for anyone within the Formation Sect to suppress him.

Therefore, the first thing Ouyang Jin did after coming out of seclusion was to convene an Elders Council and summon Lin Chen.

Even the Qin Family didn’t know about this matter initially, and even if they wanted to protect Lin Chen, it was already too late.

The Qin Family speculated that the reason Ouyang Jin convened the Elders Council was very likely due to the Thousand Years Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine in Lin Chen’s possession.

After all, Ouyang Jin’s master had reached a bottleneck in his Cultivation, and this Thousand Years Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine would be of great benefit to him.

Thus, the Ouyang Family would certainly want to obtain the Thousand Years Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine from Lin Chen.

The Qin Family instructed Qin Kaifeng to tell Lin Chen to avoid confronting the Ouyang Family for the time being and to temporarily endure by giving up the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine.

However, apart from the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine, there was no need to hand over anything else. If the Ouyang Family pressured him, the Qin Family would naturally back Lin Chen.

Lin Chen, upon learning this, was quite puzzled.

After all, the representative of the Ouyang Family was Ouyang Jin, a Nirvana Realm powerhouse, and the Patriarch of the Qin Family, namely Qin Kaifeng’s father Qin Shangfeng, was only at the Half-step Nirvana Realm. How could he compete with the Ouyang Family?

Could it be that the ancestors behind the Qin Family would also make a move?

This made Lin Chen even more perplexed.

Considering his friendship with Qin Kaifeng, the Qin Family wouldn’t go so far to assist him unless there was another reason behind it.

Whatever the reason, since the Qin Family was helping him so much, Lin Chen was not someone who would not repay kindness.

Since the Qin Family was offering him protection akin to shelter, Lin Chen naturally had to show his gratitude.

Aside from the Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine, Lin Chen still had many Sixth-Grade elixirs and even Seventh-Rank elixirs.

Since Qin Shangfeng had been at the Half-step Nirvana Realm for many years, perhaps he too had thought about trying to break through to the Nirvana Realm, but never had the assurance.

Yet if Lin Chen were to provide some resources to assist him, there was a very high chance for the other party to break through to the Nirvana Realm.

By then, even if the ancestors behind the Ouyang Family were to take action, the Qin Family would have nothing to fear.

After all, the foundation of the Qin Family, if the Nirvana Realm powerhouses were set aside, was much more profound than that of the Ouyang Family.
