Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Confrontation Head-On

"The things that the Vice Sect Leader has mentioned, I admit, indeed, I possess numerous magic treasures and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures obtained from the ruins!"

Lin Chen looked at Ouyang Jin and said with a faint smile.

At this point, even if Lin Chen refused to admit it, there would be no meaning in denying it.

He was actually curious to see what Ouyang Jin would come up with to deal with him next.

"Haha, truly worthy of being my nephew Lin Chen. Having such numerous magic treasures and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, along with that Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine, you surely must be willing to contribute them to the Sect for its prosperity. With such first-class merits, you truly deserve the title," Ouyang Jin laughed heartily, thinking that Lin Chen had no more moves and could only resign himself to fate.

"So that’s it. Lin Chen truly is a blessed star for our Sect, bringing back so many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures and Magic Artifacts. To issue him the first-class meritorious service order is indeed the most appropriate thing to do," spoke an elder, previously echoing Ouyang Jin, now chiming in to complement Ouyang Jin’s words.

Upon hearing Ouyang Jin’s words, the elders in the great hall immediately fixed shining eyes on Lin Chen, looking as ravenous as a pack of wolves eyeing a plump sheep.

They had always thought that Lin Chen only had one Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine aged a hundred thousand years.

Although they were immensely tempted, facing the two powerful forces of the Ouyang Family and the Tang Family, they knew that even if they made a move to vie for it, the chances of obtaining it were slim.

But now it was different, Lin Chen actually had a significant number of hundred thousand year-aged fifth-grade spiritual medicines as well.

These fifth-grade spiritual medicines were also valuable to them. If obtained and utilized, they too could bring great benefits to them, even potentially helping them achieve breakthroughs to the Nirvana Realm.

"Hehe, what if I don’t hand them over?" Lin Chen said with a somewhat colder tone, looking at Ouyang Jin.

If Ouyang Jin hadn’t been so greedy, only coveting that batch of Sixth-Grade Spirit Medicine, Lin Chen might have handed it over.

However, the guy actually wanted all of the resources Lin Chen had acquired from the ruins. Wasn’t this practically the same as flaying and deboning him?

"Hmph, such an ungrateful wretch."

"The Deputy Sect Master was even considering granting you the title with first-class merits, and yet you’re unwilling to make even such a small contribution to the Sect. Your behavior is very disappointing to us," another elder spoke out critically after hearing Lin Chen’s remarks.

"Is this how you honor your identity as a Formation Sect disciple?" the elder who had previously echoed Ouyang Jin, now stood up to sternly rebuke Lin Chen.

"Hehe, a small contribution?" Lin Chen laughed upon hearing the elder’s words.

These people were clearly coveting the treasures he possessed, yet they downplayed them as trivial resources, pretending not to care too much. Yet in their hearts, they were more eager than anyone else.

"If the Formation Sect comprises such robbers who plunder others’ resources, then I really don’t care for this identity as a Formation Sect disciple," Lin Chen said coldly, looking at the Formation Sect elder.

The other’s words were truly nauseating to him.

These people really thought he was an ant in their hands, to be pinched and manipulated at will?

"Presumptuous! Who do you think you are? Is the identity of a Formation Sect disciple something you can take up or dismiss as you please?" Ouyang Jin, angered by Lin Chen’s words, immediately stood up and stepped forward.

The pressure of the Nirvana Realm powerhouse’s aura burst forth from him in an instant.

In the great hall, every elder, including Qin Shangfeng and Shi Wanshan, felt the oppressive force of this aura.

Only Qin Shangfeng and Shi Wanshan, who had deeper cultivations, were not greatly affected.

However, the other elders involuntarily took several steps back as their complexions turned sour.

Even Yu Chuan and Ye Wenhao, two of the Ten Great True Disciples, were affected.

The aura of a Nirvana Realm powerhouse was indeed formidable.

Yet, when this oppressive aura swept over Lin Chen, it was dissolved by an invisible force with ease, just like when Qing Wanrong attacked him earlier; it felt like a gentle breeze upon Lin Chen.

In the great hall, only Lin Chen stood unharmed under this immense oppressive aura.

Suddenly, everyone witnessing this scene displayed expressions of utter amazement on their faces.

They knew that Ouyang Jin and Qing Wanrong were not on the same level.

Half-step Nirvana and true Nirvana Realm were worlds apart.

The power that Qing Wanrong had released was already shocking when Lin Chen had neutralized it.

Yet now, Ouyang Jin’s power was also dissolved by Lin Chen.

It made everyone in the hall think of the rumor from the ruins, that Lin Chen possessed the power to instantly kill Nirvana Realm or even Creation Realm powerhouses.

Everyone swallowed hard, looking fearfully at Lin Chen.

They had just been coveting the treasures on Lin Chen.

If Lin Chen unleashed that power against them, wouldn’t he indeed be able to eradicate them?

If not for this trump card, how would Lin Chen dare to confront Ouyang Jin head-on?

"Deputy Sect Master, your demands are indeed a bit excessive," Lin Chen spoke up.

"If we go by your reasoning, should the disciples who venture outside for training and obtain magic treasures through life-and-death struggles have to surrender everything to the Sect, who then would be willing to leave for training, who would be willing to serve the Sect?" inquired Qin Shangfeng, who didn’t hesitate to stand after witnessing Lin Chen’s power, joining Lin Chen’s side, and addressing Ouyang Jin with a smile.

Qin Shangfeng always remembered Qin Batian’s directive to take great care of Lin Chen and find ways to befriend him.

But Ouyang Jin’s attack on Lin Chen had been too swift, he hadn’t had the chance to intervene.

Declaring his position before Ouyang Jin made a move would have certainly won Lin Chen’s favor.
