Chapter 462: The Merchant Guild Searches for Someone, The Desolate Sea Area

Lin Potian muttered to himself, his eyes filled with madness.

He took out a Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense.

The Jade Slip displayed Zhou Chen's last known location—Black Tide Island.

Without hesitation, Lin Potian activated his escape light and flew towards Black Tide Island.

Three days later.

Black Tide Island, Star Sea Merchant Guild Main Hall.

Xingyun sat in the center of the hall, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.

Outside the hall, Lin Potian stood at the entrance, his aura completely undisguised.

The pressure of the Third Layer Immortal King Realm caused the entire main hall to tremble.

The guards' Faces turned pale, and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.

"Have your Guild Leader come out to see me."

Lin Potian's voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

A moment later, Xingyun walked out from the hall.

He frowned slightly upon seeing Lin Potian.

"Fellow Daoist, may I ask what business you have?"

Lin Potian stared at Xingyun and spoke directly.

"I am looking for a person named Lin Dong; he is a Guest Elder of your merchant guild."

"I have a grudge against him. Please hand him over, Guild Leader, and I can pay any price."

Xingyun's heart stirred.

Lin Dong?

Wasn't that the Guest Elder who had just joined the guild a short while ago?

His Divine Sense swept over Lin Potian, and he quickly judged the other's cultivation.

Third Layer Immortal King Realm; that was quite a decent level of strength.

Xingyun pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

"May I ask what grievances Fellow Daoist has with Elder Lin?"

To put it plainly, although Zhou Chen was only a Guest Elder, he was still a member of the guild; Xingyun still wanted to try and mediate.

A flash of killing intent crossed Lin Potian's eyes.

"He killed my son; this enmity is irreconcilable."

"I have come today specifically to take his life."

Xingyun's expression changed slightly.

The grudge of a murdered son was almost impossible to reconcile.

But Lin Dong was also a Guest Elder of the guild. If they just handed him over like this, where would the guild's Face be?

Who would dare to join the Star Sea Merchant Guild in the future?

However, if they didn't hand him over, this Third Layer Immortal King before him wouldn't be easy to deal with either.

Although the Star Sea Merchant Guild was powerful, they were unwilling to provoke such a strong enemy for no reason.

If the opponent defected to the other two factions, it would be a significant threat to the Star Sea Merchant Guild.

Xingyun weighed the pros and cons in his heart and quickly reached a decision.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. I will go and invite Elder Lin out."

"However, this matter involves the reputation of the guild, so please give me some Face."

"If Fellow Daoist is willing to serve the guild for ten thousand years, I will allow Elder Lin to confront Fellow Daoist Face-to-Face."

Lin Potian sneered.

"Ten thousand years?"

"Fine."

"As long as I can kill him, let alone ten thousand years, I would be willing to serve for a hundred thousand years."

Xingyun nodded and turned back into the hall.

He took out a communication Jade Slip and probed it with his Divine Sense.

"Elder Lin, someone has come looking for you."

"This person is at the Third Layer Immortal King Realm and says you killed his son; he wants to take your life."

"I have already stabilized him; you decide what to do."

After sending the communication Jade Slip, Xingyun sat in his chair and waited quietly.

He knew Lin Dong's strength was absolutely unfathomable.

Perhaps the result of this confrontation would exceed everyone's expectations.

On the other side.

Zhou Chen was currently Cultivating in his Immortal Cave.

Suddenly, the communication Jade Slip vibrated.

He opened his eyes and probed the Jade Slip with his Divine Sense.

After reading Xingyun's message, a smile curled at the corner of Zhou Chen's mouth.

"Lin Potian?"

"I didn't expect this old thing to actually chase me all the way to the Chaotic Demon Sea."

Zhou Chen stood up and stretched his muscles.

Lin Potian's son, Lin Tian, was someone he had killed casually while at the Zixia Sect.

He hadn't expected this mad dog Lin Potian to be so insane for revenge.

"Fine, it's a good chance to test my strength in the Immortal King Realm against you."

Zhou Chen activated his escape light and flew towards the main hall.

Outside the main hall.

Lin Potian stood where he was, his eyes full of impatience.

He had waited for half an hour and still hadn't seen a sign of Zhou Chen.

"Guild Leader Xing, may I ask where Elder Lin is?"

Lin Potian asked in a low voice.

Xingyun smiled.

"Be patient, Elder Lin will arrive shortly."

Just as he finished speaking.

A streak of light flew from the distance and landed in front of the main hall.

It was Zhou Chen.

When Lin Potian saw Zhou Chen, he was momentarily stunned.

He stared fixedly at Zhou Chen, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"It really is you!"

Lin Potian's voice trembled, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

Zhou Chen looked at Lin Potian with a faint smile on his Face.

"Senior Lin, I trust you have been well since we last met."

Lin Potian took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.

"Junior, your time to die has come."

"Today, you must pay for your blood debts."

"Lin Potian, this place is the Star Sea Merchant Guild's Black Tide Island."

"If we fight here, I'm afraid it wouldn't be quite appropriate."

"Why don't we find another place to talk?"

Zhou Chen shook his head and said.

Lin Potian sneered and did not reply.

Seeing this, Xingyun quickly spoke up.

"You two, the merchant guild is indeed not suitable for a fight."

"Why not go to the outer Desolate Sea Area? It is sparsely populated and perfect for you."

Lin Potian nodded.

"Fine."

"Little beast, do you dare to come with me?"

Zhou Chen laughed: "Old beast, I'm just going to take your dog life, why wouldn't I dare?"

With that, Zhou Chen's figure vanished, flying towards the Desolate Sea Area.

"What gall!"

Lin Potian followed closely behind.

Xingyun stood before the main hall, watching the direction in which the two departed, a trace of complexity flashing in his eyes.

"I hope Lin Dong can survive."

"Otherwise, the guild will lose another great general."

Clearly, aside from the guild's business, Xingyun was not truly worried for Zhou Chen.

In the Desolate Sea Area, everything within a million miles was dead silent.

A thick Death Qi emanated from the surface of the sea.

Zhou Chen stopped above the sea and turned to look at Lin Potian.

"Old dog, is this remote enough? It's just right to be your burial ground."

"Junior, still showing off your tongue even at death's door? Die!"

Lin Potian landed opposite Zhou Chen, his eyes full of killing intent.

As his voice fell.

Lin Potian raised his hand and struck out with a palm.

Cloud Firmament World-Extinguishing Palm!

A terrifying palm print descended from the sky, containing the full power of the Third Layer Immortal King Realm.

Wherever the palm print passed, the Void Realm shattered inch by inch.

The sea surface was whipped into ten-thousand-foot waves.

Zhou Chen's expression was calm as he waved his hand.

The chaos bell flew out from his body and hovered above his head.

The body of the bell emitted a faint golden light, blocking the palm print on the outside.

Boom!

The palm print slammed into the chaos bell, producing a deafening roar.

Seeing this, a flash of excitement crossed Lin Potian's eyes.

"Today, I will make you taste all the pain in the world before I kill you!"

Lin Potian struck again, unleashing dozens of palm prints in succession.

The palm prints covered the sky and earth, stirring up countless water mists that completely enveloped Zhou Chen.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Hearing the sounds coming from the chaos bell, Lin Potian thought Zhou Chen was already at the end of his rope, and his movements became faster and faster.

"Die!"

With Lin Potian's thunderous shout, the palm prints transformed into a giant Dragon, roaring as it charged at Zhou Chen.

Clang!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, Zhou Chen still stood where he was, completely unharmed.

"Old dog, are you capable or not? If not, it's my turn next."

As his voice fell, a terrifying aura erupted from Zhou Chen's body.

Immortal King Realm, First Layer!

Lin Potian's Face suddenly changed drastically.

"Impossible, who exactly are you?! You… how could you step into the Immortal King Realm so quickly?"
