Chapter 1472 - 1473: Confrontation
Dick's face looked awful as he said, "We can't be sure about that. No one knows what happened inside. That old man suddenly disappeared; there's definitely something suspicious on his mind."
The captain of the M Nation nodded with a sinister look in his eyes, "Alright, this must be kept confidential. We can't let anyone know."
"Yes!" Dick replied solemnly.
"This is the last opportunity to kill Lin Chen. People from our X Squad aren't to be trifled with; no matter what, he must die," said the captain of the M Nation with a cold gaze.
"However, the rules this time permit killing on the island, and that old fellow Zhang Sanfeng is on Devil Island too," one of the high-level officials in the X Squad said apprehensively.
"Zhang Sanfeng, he's just one person. I've already mobilized all the elites from the X Squad, and martial artists from all over the world won't let Lin Chen go. This time I want everyone to know who truly rules this world," the M Nation captain said coldly.
While the X Squad was erupting in frustration, Zhang Sanfeng looked at the pitch-black sea, his brows furrowed tightly.
He had caught wind of some rumors that those guys wanted to make a move on Lin Chen.
Zhang Sanfeng had made up his mind; even if he had to risk his life, he wouldn't let anyone harm Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, what's happening on the island? Why haven't you returned yet?"
For some unknown reason, that Daoist Master Xuanzhen gave him a very strange feeling.
Daoist Master Xuanzhen and he were old acquaintances, but this meeting, his aura and some traits were completely different from the Xuanzhen he knew.
Zhang Sanfeng had a feeling there's a strong sense of conspiracy in this.
He knew well Lin Chen's character. If Lin Chen had killed a few members of the X Squad, he would believe it, but to kill all the martial experts who landed on the island, Zhang Sanfeng wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
Lin Chen is not bloodthirsty, let alone killing everyone, so there must be a reason behind it.
Dawn finally broke, but the atmosphere on Devil Island grew more tense because everyone knew Lin Chen was about to emerge from Death Island.
On Devil Island, the atmosphere at this moment was extremely heavy.
Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed on the sea.
Although the trial meeting had ended, instead of fewer people on the island, there were actually more.
And the tense atmosphere seemed even heavier than before the competition.
Everyone knew a great drama was about to unfold.
At this moment, several figures sped across the sea.
These people were actually riding sharks.
Upon witnessing this scene, many experts were secretly astounded.
To tame sharks as mounts, as expected, Lin Chen possessed formidable strength.
As the silhouettes came closer, everyone finally saw who they were.
It was the three martial artists from the Chinese Martial Arts, along with Alice and Qima from the Pantheon.
Seeing them, the corners of many people's mouths couldn't help but twitch.
More than four hundred people entered the island, yet only these five survived, a truly shocking survival rate.
Everyone knew that upon entering the island, the Chinese Martial Arts and Pantheon had formed an alliance.
This meant that Lin Chen's side suffered only one loss, while the other countries' martial artists were completely wiped out.
As the few figures were about to land, the originally bustling Devil Island suddenly fell silent as death.
All eyes were on the figure walking at the forefront.
Lin Chen's eyes were calm, unaffected by the crowd's gaze.
As soon as he landed on the island, Lin Chen sensed the chilly stares and the strong killing intent coming from the cliff.
"Looks like someone has already leaked information about the island," Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Just as they stepped onto the island, several figures, exuding intense killing intent, charged toward Lin Chen.
"Kid, how dare you kill our Holy See's martial artists.
"Lin Chen, you have no conscience. Our Magic Alliance had no grudges against you, yet you killed them all."
"You brat, today we're going to kill you to atone for the fallen heroes."
...
Angry voices came from the leaders' mouths.
At this moment, a loud voice rang out from above: "What are you yelling about? Which of your eyes saw Lin Chen killing your disciples?"
The person who stepped out wasn't anyone else but Zhang Sanfeng and Elsa.
Zhang Sanfeng and Elsa's figures flashed, appearing beside Lin Chen and his group, glaring coldly at the leaders of various countries.
Seeing this scene, everyone gasped; it seemed a great battle was unavoidable.
From the cliff above, intense auras of killing intent swept out, causing many martial artists observing from a distance to feel terrified.
At this moment, whooshing sounds came from nearby.
When they saw the newcomers, everyone's faces changed instantly.
These people turned out to be elite members of the X Squad.
They surrounded the entire cliff tightly.
"Lin Chen, you few are truly audacious, slaughtering over four hundred martial artists on Death Island, and yet you dare to return?" the M Nation captain questioned coldly.
"Captain of M Nation, what evidence do you have that Lin Chen and the others killed those martial artists? Without evidence, don't speak recklessly," Zhang Sanfeng said coldly.
"No evidence? The overseer himself said it was Lin Chen who killed the martial artists from various countries, is that wrong?" the M Nation captain said coldly.
"His words are just a one-sided story, and it seems he doesn't have any evidence, right?" Zhang Sanfeng retorted coldly.
"Zhang Sanfeng, what do you mean by this? Are you doubting me?" Daoist Master Xuanzhen frowned at Zhang Sanfeng's words, speaking coldly.
"You're right, I do doubt you," Zhang Sanfeng said coldly, looking at Daoist Master Xuanzhen.
Daoist Master Xuanzhen snorted coldly, "Zhang Sanfeng, you've gone too far this time, and you must pay a price."
"Yes, no matter what, the Chinese Martial Arts and Pantheon must pay a price," the crowd accused one after another.
Hearing the crowd's words, Elsa suddenly laughed, "Your faces are really thick. Given whether Lin Chen and the others killed those people or not, what difference does it make? You voted to allow killing on Death Island, promising no accountability. Now that your people have died, you refuse to own up?"
Elsa's words left the crowd speechless.
During the Five Alliances Conference, the Holy See, X Squad, and Magic Alliance all voted in favor, Pantheon abstained, and the Chinese Martial Arts was the only one against. Obviously, coming after Lin Chen now seemed unreasonable.
"Hmph, Elsa, allowing killing doesn't mean indiscriminately murdering innocent people. Lord Luo De has already issued orders to take a few of you back to the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters for punishment." Seeing them silenced by Elsa, Daoist Master Xuanzhen decided to leverage the Alliance Hierarch.
"If you want to take Lin Chen, you'll have to ask me and the old man Zhang first," Elsa said coldly.
"Indeed. Do you take us, Chinese Martial Arts, as pushovers? You think you can detain our disciples at will; it's simply outrageous," Zhang Sanfeng said coldly.
"It seems you're choosing to resist to the end, daring to defy the orders of Alliance Hierarch Luo De?" Daoist Master Xuanzhen said coldly.
