Chapter 708: Chapter 708 The Big Shots Gather

At that time, Liang Zixuan had not expected that someone would actually be able to repair the formation of the Five Elements Glaze Tower.

After all, even for the elders of the Talisman Pavilion, repairing that formation would require collaboration amongst several people and a good deal of effort to complete.

However, according to the reports of the disciples later, Lin Chen hadn’t spent much time and had repaired it by himself, which was truly shocking.

Naturally, Liang Zixuan did not want to miss out on such a talented disciple, so he immediately extended an invitation to ask whether Lin Chen was willing to join their Talisman Pavilion.

However, Lin Chen was focused only on cultivation at that time and hadn’t thought too much about it, so he tactfully declined.

Liang Zixuan of the Talisman Pavilion was actually quite good-tempered and did not feel angry because Lin Chen refused his personal invitation; considering that Lin Chen’s talent for Talisman Inscriptions did not seem very strong at that time, he did not pay too much attention to it.

However, according to rumors this time, everyone was able to escape safely from the ruins all thanks to the Talisman Inscriptions that Lin Chen had refined, which withstood the invasion of the death qi of the Dark Demon Race.

If he had known earlier that Lin Chen’s talent for Talisman Inscriptions was so strong, Liang Zixuan would have done whatever it took to recruit Lin Chen to their Talisman Pavilion.

Now, Lin Chen’s reputation was in full swing. Although many were eying Lin Chen for the treasures on him and the hundred-thousand-year-old Sixth-Grade Spiritual Medicine, there were also many old hands who wanted to pull Lin Chen to their side, even as a disciple.

So, it would probably be difficult now to persuade Lin Chen to join the Talisman Pavilion, but Liang Zixuan still decided to make a concerted effort.

Although the Qin Family seemed to have made their move, the matter had not yet been settled; Lin Chen was merely under the protection of the Tang Family and had not joined the Qin Family.

At this moment, several more elders arrived, and then, a few familiar silhouettes that Lin Chen had seen before appeared in the great hall, including Yu Chuan, Ye Wenhao, Lu Min, and Jiang Jiayun whom Lin Chen had met upon his return to the Formation Sect.

Besides, next to Lu Min was a busty long-haired woman whose cold gaze was fixed on Lin Chen, and an overwhelming aura involuntarily erupted from her body, rolling toward Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at the woman and felt a bit helpless in his heart.

With such a cold attitude towards him, it seemed she was none other than Qing Qizheng’s sister, Qing Wanrong.

Upon meeting him, this woman not only bore animosity toward him like a sworn enemy but also unleashed such powerful aura to oppress him.

Had it been an ordinary martial artist of the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm, they likely would have been crushed to death by this aura, or at the very least, would be kneeling unable to stand.

However, Lin Chen faced this rush of aura with a light smile, feeling no discomfort at all as if the formidable pressure was just a gentle breeze upon him.

Qing Wanrong might be powerful, but she possessed only the cultivation of Half-Step Nirvana; her oppressive aura was not stronger than that of the Demon General of the Dark Demon Race he faced before.

"Bastard!"

Qing Wanrong had not expected that under the pressure of her aura, Lin Chen was not only unharmed but even showed a smile looking at her.

In Qing Wanrong’s view, this was undoubtedly a provocation and mocking.

Hurt by him, her brother had ended up like that, and now he dared to provoke her which immediately caused Qing Wanrong to harbor a strong killing intent towards Lin Chen.

She had thought that since Lin Chen was able to injure her brother so badly, his cultivation must have been above Qing Qizheng’s, but not by too much.

However, now Qing Wanrong realized that she had still underestimated Lin Chen’s strength.

In the distance, Yu Chuan and Ye Wenhao, who witnessed this scene, were also surprised.

It seemed this young man was not only meticulous in thinking but also had quite formidable strength.

Over these days, they had exhausted their means to deal with Lin Chen, but he always saw through their schemes and chose to remain in seclusion, leaving them with no recourse.

As a result, they were unable to make another move against Lin Chen.

But today was different; the star of the day was Ouyang Jin of the Ouyang Family, a true Nirvana Realm powerhouse and a Peak Master.

Following Qing Wanrong’s attack on Lin Chen, one after another, the big shots arrived on the scene.

In such a situation, it was unlikely for Qing Wanrong to blatantly attack Lin Chen again.

Lin Chen eyed these influential people, and although his heart fluctuated, he did not feel too shocked.

Great Elder Xu Mingzhen, Patriarch of the Qin Family Qin Shangfeng, Master of Spiritual Treasure Pavilion Zhu Geng, and Ouyang Jin of the Ouyang Family, these significant figures in the Formation Sect, had all arrived one by one.

Among them, Shi Wanshan, the Sect Master of the Formation Sect, was also present, but he did not look happy.

During the competition for the position of Sect Master, although he had a slight edge over Ouyang Jin, he was ultimately several hundred years older than Ouyang Jin.

Now that Ouyang Jin had broken through in his cultivation, Shi Wanshan felt somewhat unable to maintain his dignity.

Although he was the Sect Master, with Ouyang Jin as the Deputy Sect Master, their powers were not much different, and some major decisions had to be made through the Elders Council.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I presume you are all clear on why we have gathered here."

"This trip to the ruins was extraordinarily perilous. Although our Formation Sect disciples suffered heavy losses, it was all worth it as we brought back numerous Magic Artifacts and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures."

"This time, Junior Brother Lin Chen has contributed greatly. If not for him, the losses of our Formation Sect would likely have been far greater."

Ouyang Jin’s voice echoed in the great hall, filled with words of praise for Lin Chen.

However, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, remembering what Qin Kaifeng had told him: Ouyang Jin was no good Samaritan.

After hearing Ouyang Jin’s speech, the various elders in the great hall frowned.

They had come here to divide up the treasures Lin Chen had on him, yet Ouyang Jin was staging this act; was he intending to hold a commendation meeting for Lin Chen?

Qin Shangfeng’s eyes narrowed as he watched the hypocritical Ouyang Jin, feeling puzzled and wondering what Ouyang Jin was planning with this move.

That crafty Ouyang Jin was referring to Lin Chen, a new Inner Sect Disciple, as Junior Brother, elevating Lin Chen’s status to be on par with the elders and Peak Masters.

While others did not dare oppose Ouyang Jin’s words, the reference to Lin Chen would inevitably cause dissatisfaction.
