2391: Chapter 2411: The Villain Dies from Talking Too Much, You Really Don’t Get It!
The mountain cave was lit by a fireball, illuminating the surroundings.
Shangguan Wenyin stood at the edge of the flas’ radiance, half of his body in the shadows.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Shangguan fellow cultivator, why make things so mysterious?”
“Soone’s watching , I have to be careful.”
With a wave of Shangguan Wenyin’s hand, the Array Formation’s light suddenly flashed within the cave, enveloping the entire space and sealing off even the cave’s entrance completely.
Lin Chen didn’t move.
He slightly tilted his head and scrutinized Shangguan Wenyin at the boundary between light and shadow, then let out a sigh, “After all this, it turns out to be a fake.
No wonder you had to be so secretive.”
“Hm?”
The “Shangguan Wenyin” from the darkness lifted his head, his tone now carried an extra hint of surprise, “How did you recognize that I am a fake?
Is my disguise not convincing enough, or did my voice give away?”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “You hide at the junction of light and shadow.
Even if there are discrepancies in your disguise, it would be hard for to detect.
Although there are subtle differences in your voice, it’s not the reason I discerned you’re not Shangguan Wenyin.”
“Shangguan Wenyin” asked with a light chuckle, “I’d like to hear the details.”
Lin Chen replied casually, “Shangguan Wenyin is magnanimous, with a proud bone in his body.
No matter where he stands, there’s a special temperant about him.
You, on the other hand, standing there, I couldn’t feel that temperant at all, but rather sothing quite ghostly…”
“Clap clap clap!”
The man walked out from the light and shadow, clapping his hands gently, his tone mocking, “Your Excellency indeed has penetrating eyesight.
But fortunately, my calculations weren’t wrong.
If Shangguan Wenyin had asked you for a favor, you definitely wouldn’t have gone to the Sea God Sect to verify the truth and would have co directly to the appointnt.”
Lin Chen nodded, “Yes, you guessed right.
Before you activated the Array Formation to block off the surroundings, even if I found it a bit strange, I didn’t harbor too much suspicion.
But now that we’ve co to this point, aren’t you going to tell who you are?”
The man stepped into the light of the fireball, took off his hat, and pulled off a delicately made mask from his face, revealing his true appearance.
“You just used ‘ghostly’ to describe .
I think you described it quite aptly.
Allow to introduce myself.
My na is Lou Zihan, and I am known as Ghost Young Master…”
“Ghost Young Master?”
Lin Chen frowned, assessing the pale and handso man before him, “Do you have any relation to Ghost True Man?”
Lou Zihan smiled and said, “Ghost True Man is indeed my master.”
However, disappointnt was clearly evident in Lin Chen’s eyes, “Ghost True Man was left half-dead by the combined assault of the powerhouses from the Three Sects.
Unless there’s an accident, he’ll probably need a few hundred years to recover.
He holds a grudge against in his heart, so he sent you, his disciple, to take revenge on his behalf?”
Lou Zihan said proudly, “Yes, I ca here before the sectarian strife began and have been watching you secretly.
But you were always inside the Three Teachings Camp, and I couldn’t find an opportunity to deal with you.”
“I waited in the dark, biding my ti.
Recently, the news about you and Shangguan Wenyin spread everywhere, and I felt there must be a significant relationship between the two of you.
Now that he is preparing to leave, I took this opportunity to send you a letter.
Even if you wanted to verify it, you would only check whether the Sea God Sect’s people were retreating and not inquire in detail about Shangguan Wenyin…”
Lou Zihan suddenly stopped speaking, his eyes looking at Lin Chen with a trace of confusion, “Why aren’t you scared, and instead look quite disappointed?”
Lin Chen smiled and pointed at the surrounding Array Formation, “Do you really think this Array Formation can stop ?”
Lou Zihan sneered, “Why don’t you give it a try?
If you can escape, I’ll turn around and leave!”
Lin Chen didn’t hold back; he stepped forward.
However, as he stepped out, the space rippled with waves, yet Lin Chen remained in place, not stepping through the void.
Lou Zihan laughed heartily, “This Array Formation, though small, effectively blocks spatial passage.
If your strength was just a bit stronger, even if only slightly weaker than , you could rely on your strength to tear open a rift in the Array Formation and escape.
Unfortunately, you are too weak, with only death waiting for you.”
Lin Chen nodded in approval, “The Array Formation is indeed remarkable; you’ve gone through a lot of trouble to capture .”
Lou Zihan saw that even now, Lin Chen showed no panic at all, which made him furrow his brow: “You’re about to die, why aren’t you afraid?”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “If I acted more scared, would you decide not to kill and let go?”
“Don’t flatter yourself!”
Lou Zihan sneered, “Not only will you not escape death, but I also won’t spare any of your three won.
After you die, I will catch them one by one, heh heh, each of your three won is stunningly beautiful…
I’ll show them my affection before their death…”
Lin Chen’s face remained calm, but a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes: “Like master, like disciple, both you and your master deserve to die!”
Lou Zihan laughed loudly, “That’s right, we should die.
Many have wanted to kill us, but we live on just fine.
On the other hand, those who wish to kill us all ended up dying by our hands.
You won’t be an exception!”
Lin Chen shook his head and calmly said, “My first reaction was that it was those hidden in the darkness who wanted to kill and then bla Shangguan Wenyin, to cause greater conflict between the Dragon Mountain Sect and the Sea God Sect, creating chaos to seize their own gains amid the turmoil.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disciple of Ghost True Man…”
Lou Zihan was taken aback, “Your disappointnt was because of that?”
Lin Chen nodded, “Yes.”
Lou Zihan’s brows furrowed, and a trace of unease appeared in his eyes: “Did you know this was a trap before you ca to the eting?”
Lin Chen shook his head, “I didn’t know, but, you see, it was quite normal for to let my Master know I was going to et Shangguan Wenyin.”
Lou Zihan looked at Lin Chen, who spoke calmly and confidently, and the bad feeling in his heart grew stronger.
Suddenly, he lunged at Lin Chen, shouting fiercely, “As long as your life is in my hands, even if Master Floating Cloud rushes over, he won’t be able to do anything to !”
Lin Chen did not resist, letting Lou Zihan take control of him, his face still bearing a light smile: “Your thinking is not bad, but unfortunately…”
Lou Zihan, holding Lin Chen, his eyes flashing fiercely: “Unfortunately what?”
Lin Chen chuckled, “If the mont you saw , you activated the Array Formation, imdiately tried to kill , and then ran away imdiately after, maybe you would have had a chance to escape.
Unfortunately, you wanted to tell how you had hidden and arranged today’s trap, to show off your actions to , to let experience the fear before death.
But you seem to have forgotten one saying…”
Lin Chen gazed at Lou Zihan, who was so close, articulating each word, “The villain dies talking too much!”
Lou Zihan’s face turned grim as he carried Lin Chen towards the entrance.
Just then, a hazy figure appeared outside the Array Formation that sealed the entrance.
The hazy figure raised a hand, as though knocking on a door, gently tapping on the light curtain of the Array Formation.
“Bang!”
The Array Formation instantly shattered, with rushing air flows and Sunshine pouring in, illuminating the man at the entrance.
Master Floating Cloud stood at the entrance, his gaze sweeping over Lou Zihan before settling on Lin Chen, a strange smile appearing on his face.
“Eh, you’re not dead yet?”
Controlled tightly by Lou Zihan, Lin Chen responded with a dismissive tone, “This guy is Ghost True Man’s disciple, Lou Zihan, self-proclaid Ghost Young Master.
He lured in here, then went on and on with a bunch of blah blah blah…”
