2647: Chapter 2667: Happy to see ?
“Your Excellency, who might you be, and what brings you here?”
Lin Chen presented his token with effortless grace, “Lin Chen, a disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall’s Battle Hall, on official duty in the Southern Wilderness, passing by this place, I sensed the breath of an old acquaintance, and thus ca to visit.
Please announce my arrival.”
The disciples guarding the sect gate were initially rather arrogant, but upon seeing the token, their attitude beca warm and respectful.
“Mr.
Lin, please wait a mont, I’ll report right away,”
A disciple hurried off to relay the ssage, while the remaining disciples cautiously accompanied Lin Chen, who asked naturally, “What’s the na of your sect?”
Because Lin Chen ntioned he was passing by and sensed the breath of an acquaintance, the fact that he did not know the na of the sect raised no suspicions with the gatekeeping disciples.
With the vastness of the Immortal Realm and the countless sects that existed, who could know them all?
“We are the Illusory Serpent Sect, a sect with an ancient history…”
The gatekeeping disciple went on to introduce the sect, and Lin Chen got the gist of the situation.
Illusory Serpent Sect was one of the oldest immortal sects in the Southern Wilderness, and while most other sects had faded into oblivion in the river of ti, Illusory Serpent Sect had survived to this day.
However, with the changing eras, the sect didn’t grow stronger but gradually weakened instead.
Luckily, the Illusory Serpent Sect possessed an ancient inheritance.
Although the number of disciples had been dwindling, the sect had a Peak Daluo Initial Immortal to bolster its presence, and its combat power was still formidable.
Moreover, the long history endowed them with a distinguished status, earning them a place in the Southern Wilderness.
The Illusory Serpent Sect did not belong to Myriad Immortal Hall, nor were they among the Twelve Immortal Kings, not even Immortal Monarchs.
How should one put it?
The Illusory Serpent Sect was like a figure in the Jianghu who had mixed in for a lifeti, possessing full credentials and reputation.
However, they could not compare in strength to the newer talents, yet others, out of respect for their long-standing status and unless necessary, were still willing to give so face.
Kong Ling joined the Illusory Serpent Sect?
If it were soone else, Lin Chen might not have thought much of it, but Kong Ling was soone whose every move was targeted, with specific intentions, prompting Lin Chen to ponder further.
With Kong Ling’s abilities and ans, if he had wanted to join an Immortal Monarch’s power or one of the Twelve Immortal Sects, it likely would not have been a problem.
Yet he joined the Illusory Serpent Sect.
Why?
The ancient inheritance of the Illusory Serpent Sect?
While Lin Chen was lost in his thoughts, an elegantly dressed middle-aged man ca out of the sect gate and greeted Lin Chen with clasped hands from afar.
“An honored guest graces our gates, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner.
Please don’t mind.”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Fellow cultivator, you are too courteous.
I was rely passing by and sensed an old acquaintance’s presence, so I took the liberty of disturbing you.
I hope I’m not being too presumptuous.”
The middle-aged man laughed heartily, “Disciples of the Myriad Immortal Hall’s Battle Hall are all geniuses with outstanding talent and limitless futures.
Having you visit our sect is an honor, where does the question of being presumptuous arise…
Illusory Serpent Sect’s Elder Guo Huai, Mr.
Lin, please follow !”
Accompanied by Guo Huai, Lin Chen entered the sect gate and headed toward the main hall within the sect.
As they entered the Main Hall, in the spacious Guest Hall, handmaids brought over fairy tea and fruits.
After exchanging so pleasantries, Guo Huai then asked, “Mr.
Lin ntioned sensing an old friend’s presence.
May I inquire who is Mr.
Lin’s old friend?”
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “I was about to ask Elder Guo about him.
His na is Kong Ling, and he should have joined your sect in the last several decades.
His strength is probably at the level of a Peak Celestial Immortal or above Daluo…”
Guo Huai scrutinized Lin Chen, his expression growing slightly solemn, “Indeed, such a person exists.
He joined when he had just entered Daluo…
Mr.
Lin, are you friends with him?”
Although Lin Chen had ntioned an ‘old friend,’ the implications behind those words could vary greatly.
It could an a dear friend or relative, or it could be a mortal enemy!
Taking into account Lin Chen’s sensitive identity, Guo Huai decided to probe further before determining his response.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Elder Guo need not worry.
When I say ‘old friend,’ I an it in the literal sense.
We are old friends.”
Guo Huai breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, “That is indeed good news.
Well, I’ll have soone call for him.”
Lin Chen readily agreed, “Good!”
Guo Huai sent out a spell, turning it into a streak of golden light that shot out from the Main Hall.
“Mr.
Lin, he will arrive shortly.
In the anti, please enjoy the tea…
have so tea…”
Lin Chen sipped his tea as he chatted with Guo Huai.
When Guo Huai spoke about Myriad Immortal Hall, Lin Chen avoided speculating and just ntioned that he had been selected as an apprentice of the Immortal Palace after participating in the selection for the Ten Thousand Immortal eting, and due to his rapid increase in strength, he was ultimately chosen by the Battle Hall to beco a Battle Hall Disciple.
To make the story more credible, Lin Chen intentionally brought up Jiang Wanchun, admitting to not knowing much since he hadn’t joined long ago or stating that he couldn’t disclose internal affairs of the sect.
Guo Huai had no suspicions of Lin Chen since the token of the Myriad Immortal Hall was unmistakably genuine.
Footstep sounds erged, and as Lin Chen turned his head, he saw a familiar figure step into the hall.
“Uncle Guo, did you call for ?”
Kong Ling first greeted Guo Huai, then turned to look at Lin Chen, and upon seeing him, his eyes widened dramatically, and he inhaled sharply.
“Lin Chen!
What are you doing here?”
