Chapter 3306: Chapter 3326: How Can I, a Magnificent Quasi-Saint, Simply Fall Asleep?
"I have a way."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch glanced at Lin Chen with a determined expression: "But I need to align with you first. After all, my master instructed me to take you as the primary decision-maker, so even if I take action, I need your consent."
Lin Chen had actually guessed Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s method. After some thought, he said, "If he helps us retrieve the information, then everything is fine. If the other party refuses to reveal anything, we have no other options. We must try; we can’t leave empty-handed, right?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled: "Good, as long as you have no objections."
Lin Chen feigned curiosity and asked, "Forcing it definitely won’t work. He might not reveal anything even in the face of death. Or once we make a move, he might have a way to stop the teleportation gate from working or even destroy it instantly."
Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s gaze was confident and assured: "Forcing it won’t work. I will use some other means, and you’ll see when the time comes."
Vigilance arose in Lin Chen’s heart. With Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s nature, he certainly wouldn’t want the Drunken Immortal Pot, his unexpected and mysterious method, to be exposed in front of me. After all, once such a method is revealed, I would inevitably guard against him, making it much harder for him if he wants to deal with me next time.
Thinking along those lines, could it be that Qingluan Immortal Monarch would take this opportunity to strike against the Guardian and also make a move against me?
If he acts against me, what should I do?
Lin Chen’s mind raced with thoughts. After all, each choice would lead to different outcomes, requiring different consequences to be shouldered.
"Does your method require my cooperation, or is there something I need to do?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled slightly: "You don’t need to do anything. Just chat with him as usual to distract him, and leave the rest to me!"
Huh, leave the rest to you?
Including even me, right?
If Qingluan Immortal Monarch doesn’t want to deal with me together, the norm would be to have me stayed away, allowing him to be alone with the Guardian to "persuade" him. But he asked me to stay to attract the Guardian’s attention, yet he didn’t mention any precautions, which is problematic.
Initially, Lin Chen thought even if Qingluan Immortal Monarch wanted to make a move against me, he would wait until we were on the way back, at a place not far from the Immortal Realm, before taking action. But now it seems I’ve underestimated Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s decisiveness.
Clearly, he wants to take me down along with this wave!
As long as the Drunken Immortal Pot "captures" me, he can then control my life. After entering the Ancestral Land, I would surely have to obey him and become his loyal subordinate.
If there are any achievements later on, wouldn’t they all be his?
Soon, the Guardian returned, with a hint of anger in his large eyes.
"The Clan Chief has been in closed-door cultivation since the Ancestral Land meeting, ignoring everything. I asked the manager and got scolded, so you should leave!"
The Clan Chief is in closed-door cultivation?
Lin Chen frowned: "Then could you notify Tia for me? It’s been a long time since we met, and since I’m here, I naturally want to meet my friend."
Meeting a friend wasn’t a lie, but trying to gather information through Tia was the real purpose.
Not to mention anything else, it’s said that Tia’s father, Nicholas, is the first warrior of the Starry Sky Demon Beast Clan, so his status must not be low. Whatever the Clan Chief knows, does he know too?
Circuitous rescue of the kingdom!
Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Chen was still unwilling to clash with the Starry Sky Demon Clan.
The Guardian, who had just been reprimanded, was in a bad mood and shouted, "Stop causing trouble for me. The manager just scolded me, calling me meddlesome. You should leave quickly, or I won’t be polite."
Lin Chen frowned, is it no longer negotiable?
"Tia and I haven’t seen each other for a long time, and I miss him very much. Won’t you let it slide? I have some medicinal pills here that can help enhance strength and heal injuries..."
"Don’t talk nonsense!"
The Guardian was very irritable, and even before Lin Chen finished speaking, he was already roaring loudly, echoing like Thunder.
"Given that you helped the citizens of the Starry Sky Demon Beast Clan, I’m treating you like this. Don’t push it, get out!"
Lin Chen sighed, turning his head to look at Qingluan Immortal Monarch.
Qingluan Immortal Monarch gave a slight smile, but his eyes were full of cold killing intent. He stared at the gigantic creature in front: "We showed courtesy before force. Since you’re shameless, don’t blame me... Rise!"
As soon as Qingluan Immortal Monarch uttered the word "rise," a vast white mist suddenly appeared between Heaven and Earth, enveloping the two of them and the beast together.
The Guardian was furious, with an aura surging around him: "What, do you want to take action?"
Qingluan Immortal Monarch smiled slightly, extending five fingers, aiming distantly at the Guardian: "No need to act, I just want you to sleep well."
With Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s words, the countless white mist suddenly seemed to come alive, beginning to wrap around the Guardian. Because Lin Chen stood very close to the Guardian, he was also enveloped within it.
"Boom!"
The white mist hit the body silently and tracelessly, without causing any pain. But at that moment, a tremendous drowsiness suddenly appeared in his mind.
This drowsiness came as fiercely as if someone who had been awake for several days without rest suddenly lost focus, instantly losing consciousness and falling into endless chaos.
Seeing Lin Chen about to be engulfed by boundless drowsiness, the lotus seed pendant on his chest suddenly emitted a light like ice flowers, coming alive, as if it had come to life, and the icy light rushed into his body.
It was like a bone-chilling cold rushing into his body, making Lin Chen’s skin instantly prickly with goosebumps.
This chill didn’t stay but rushed all the way up, finally stabbing directly into the depths of his mind.
"Hiss!"
Lin Chen, as if in a lethargic state typical of a midsummer day, was suddenly given an ice pop down his shirt, jolting him awake. His consciousness, about to be engulfed by endless drowsiness, suddenly cleared, and he instantly regained his spirit.
Damn!
That was close!
An infinite fear surged in Lin Chen’s heart. Qingluan Immortal Monarch’s move was too sudden.
Clearly, it was just colorless and tasteless mist like white fog, how could it have such terrifying power?
A dignified Quasi-Saint like me nearly fell asleep?
If I had fallen into this endless drowsiness, unable to extricate myself, fallen asleep on the spot, what would the situation be when I woke up later?
At that time, wouldn’t my life already be in the hands of the opponent?
This Qingluan Immortal Monarch, this kid, is really malicious!
Outwardly dealing with the Guardian, but why do I feel this is just an excuse for you to display your methods, the real person you want to deal with is me, isn’t it?
