Chapter 2509: Chapter 2510: Another Deal

When Lin Chen first came to this place, he always believed that the trump card in his hand was his identity as a Wangzun, but later realized the real trump card was Xiao Ying.

Lin Chen could withstand the mad attacks from all enemies in this world but could not bear betrayal and deceit from those close to him.

For Lin Chen, this was always a taboo in his heart. Upon hearing it, he swallowed his saliva and was unwilling to say more.

"Young man, are you now willing to consider the request I made to you before?"

Just then, Lin Chen heard a distant voice coming from inside the cell.

Lin Chen could clearly and strongly feel that he had definitely heard this voice somewhere before, but for a moment, he couldn’t recall under what circumstances they had met.

"Who are you, old man? Can you come out and meet me?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

"Young man, are you sure you really want to see me?"

The voice of the old man in the air carried a slight teasing tone.

Since Lin Chen gave a fairly certain answer, he indeed wanted to know who still wished to visit him when he was in such a dire state.

"Very well, I will speak at once."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old man dressed in black appeared before him, tall and upright, his long white hair like a waterfall cascading down his back, with his back facing Lin Chen.

Looking at the old man in front of him, Lin Chen always felt as if he had seen him somewhere before, but couldn’t immediately recall who he was.

After a while, the old man slowly turned around and looked at the young man standing before him.

So it was him.

Unlimited Heavenly Venerate.

"I didn’t expect it was you, old man. I was wondering who it might be."

Previously, Lin Chen would have had a strong aversion to Unlimited Heavenly Venerate, after all, he had dealings with the demon Kuang Tian. However, after experiencing so much, his attitude towards Kuang Tian had changed, let alone towards Unlimited Heavenly Venerate.

"What’s the matter, young man? You seem a bit unwelcome towards me."

Lin Chen immediately gave a negative response, how could that be?

"Please don’t misunderstand me, old man. I didn’t mean that. I’m just a bit surprised to see you here so suddenly," Lin Chen replied with a sigh.

"Young man, do you know why I am here to see you this time?"

Unlimited Heavenly Venerate is a presence with considerable determination; once he decides to do something, he will not stop until he achieves his goal. He did not expect that the deal he proposed earlier would hit a snag.

Unlimited Heavenly Venerate felt his timing was not right then. Now that so much has happened, his attitude towards the demon Kuang Tian would surely change.

Unlimited Heavenly Venerate thought he might achieve his goal by seizing this moment.

Although Lin Chen did not hear the other party clearly express what he wanted to say, he could also understand what the matter was.

"If I am not mistaken, old man, you have come to discuss the matter of the demon Kuang Tian with me again."

Unlimited Heavenly Venerate did not speak, replying with silence.

Indeed, that was exactly what Unlimited Heavenly Venerate intended.

"That’s precisely my intention. Young brother, do you still want to stick to the decision you made in your heart as before?"

If it were in the past, he would have undeniably rejected the requests and conditions proposed by the other party without hesitation, but after experiencing so many things, he finally saw the true nature of those so-called righteous individuals.

"Maybe those so-called righteous individuals are unwilling to believe you, but I am willing to believe you. I know that the real wrongdoer is not you," Unlimited Heavenly Venerate replied.

The reason Unlimited Heavenly Venerate spoke with such decisive certainty was not because he wanted to win Lin Chen over to change his stance deliberately.

Instead, Unlimited Heavenly Venerate genuinely believed that the young man in front of him was definitely not someone who did evil deeds, but rather someone who was deliberately framed and set up.

It’s just a pity that those so-called people of righteous sects are unwilling to discern the true facts of the matter, the nuances, and intricacies.

"That’s right, those people of righteous sects simply do not wish to trust me. To them, I am responsible for this whole series of events."

This time, he suddenly felt that the so-called sense of right and wrong really didn’t have a specific standard for judgment, that the positions of good and evil are sometimes just a matter of perspective, depending on which side you stand on.

The Medicinal Immortal once claimed to be a person of righteous ways, taking on the mission of saving all living beings, but now he hasn’t seen what contributions that person has actually made to the world.

"Think carefully about what those people of righteous sects have done? Besides deliberately framing you, what else have they done for your benefit? Moreover, your beloved girl was so tormented by them, don’t you hate them?"

Lin Chen actually didn’t need the other party to fan the flames, the raging fire in his heart was enough to make his opinion of the righteous people reach its peak.

"The most despicable guy, I suppose, is the one known as the Medicinal Immortal, isn’t he? To gain other’s recognition, he is willing to sacrifice you. Is your life not a life? Is his reputation more important than your life?"

Only at that moment did Lin Chen realize the real despicable one between Unlimited Heavenly Venerate and the Medicinal Immortal wasn’t necessarily Unlimited Heavenly Venerate. Even if he was evil, he did so openly and notoriously, whereas the Medicinal Immortal was a hypocrite, sanctimonious.

"I think, in their hearts, you are not really a living being, but just a lackey. Do you know why they haven’t harmed you yet? They want to use your life force."

Lin Chen was well aware of the interests behind this, and he knew what the old man said was indeed correct; this was the true thought in their hearts.

"I am different. In my eyes, you truly are an equal being. As long as you genuinely agree to the demon Kuang Tian’s deal, I can guarantee that you will become my master, and I will respect you greatly."

Now, when Unlimited Heavenly Venerate spoke to him, it was with full respect, without displaying a condescending attitude, a world apart from the so-called people of righteous sects.

Undoubtedly, the favor Unlimited Heavenly Venerate brought to Lin Chen now far surpassed the collective of all righteous individuals.
