Chapter 3295: Chapter 3315: The Battle for Slots
"The Starry Sky Demon Clan knows of the existence of Abyss Demons, and they even know a lot about them?"
In the hall, the Immortal Emperor sat at the top, his eyes falling on Lin Chen, with a slightly peculiar look in his eyes.
Originally, he didn’t know Lin Chen, but in the previous incident, Lin Chen’s brilliance could not be concealed even by a Saint, making him take notice of Lin Chen and pay some attention to him.
After all, not everyone can suffer a loss even from a Saint and yet live well. Perhaps Lin Chen is the only one.
When the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch previously suggested withdrawing all the military forces, he casually asked about Lin Chen, saying he was preparing for Closed Door Cultivation to comprehend Breaking the Realm. Now, meeting again after not too long, Lin Chen actually broke through successfully.
A Quasi-Saint over a hundred years old, huh!
Even though the Immortal Emperor is now a Saint and the Lord of Immortal World, supreme and beyond, he couldn’t help but subconsciously recall his own growth journey, instinctively comparing Lin Chen with himself, feeling somewhat nuanced inside.
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, but he only vaguely heard the Clan Chief mention it; he himself doesn’t know the details. So I think it’s necessary to send someone to the Ancestral Land of the Star Behemoths to consult with the Clan Chief of the Star Behemoths to inquire about the Abyss Demon Clan’s details."
The Immortal Emperor nodded calmly, agreeing with Lin Chen’s statement: "This matter is of great importance, and it’s indeed necessary to make the trip. If there are findings, it might greatly aid us. After all, we know too little about the Abyss Demons. We’ve fought for so long, yet only know some surface information. Where do Abyss Demons come from, what kind of existence is the Abyss Lord, do they have any weaknesses, or is there any special way to deal with them? We know nothing."
"Since you have a past with the Starry Sky Demon Clan, and you know the Divine Power of Star Sky Jump, you are naturally the most suitable person. However, sending only you cannot show our seriousness in this matter. I will arrange another person to accompany you, should anything happen, to have someone to rely on."
Lin Chen did not mention Chi Zai’s words, if others go, perhaps they will get nothing. He cupped his hands, saying: "I will obey the Emperor’s orders!"
Lin Chen had told everything Chi Zai said to the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch. If it must be mentioned, let the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch bring it up. I won’t be the one to take the blame, lest it appears as "if others can’t do it, you can, right?"
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch glanced at Lin Chen, hesitated, and upon realizing Lin Chen didn’t mention Chi Zai’s words, couldn’t help but curse him as a sly little fellow inside.
This kid previously told me everything, but now, before the Immortal Emperor, he acts as if "whatever you say, I’ll do". Isn’t this shirking responsibility?
The Immortal Emperor is the Lord of the Immortal World, everyone’s superior. Whatever he dictates, that’s what will be done. Even if something goes wrong, it’s not your fault. But if I confront the superior, saying only I can do it and anyone else can’t, what will the superior think?
In the end, even if you succeed, the superior likely won’t have a good impression, let alone in failure.
If it fails, you’ll probably pay the price.
Lin Chen proposing this matter is naturally for the Immortal Realm, but he doesn’t want any trouble for himself arising from it.
If handled privately, it would indeed be well-intentioned, but if not done well, it would surely displease the Immortal Emperor afterward. Now Lin Chen reports the matter, whoever the Immortal Emperor decides to send, let them go, emphasizing responsibility avoidance!
Now the Immortal Emperor decided for me to go and find another to accompany me, then the two of us will go, and discuss specifics on the way.
Lin Chen was still somewhat uneasy inside, worried which Saint the Immortal Emperor might invite to accompany him. For in the cosmic depths, it would only be himself and the Saint, what if the Saint took a liking to the Star Chart Spirit?
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch reported: "Emperor, Chi Zai once said that the Starry Sky Demon Clan’s Ancestral Land is absolutely confidential, not allowing outsiders to enter. Lin Chen helped the child of the Starry Sky Demon Clan’s first warrior. With this opportunity, there might be gains, but if others go along, perhaps the Starry Sky Demon Clan won’t see him, and we’ll return empty-handed."
The Immortal Emperor frowned. He naturally wanted to know the Abyss Demon Clan’s details, but he hoped this firsthand information would be obtained by someone he trusted, not relayed by Lin Chen.
Although Lin Chen is himself a Human Clan member and a part of the Immortal Realm, with no reason to hide information about the Abyss Demons, who knows what kind of information will be obtained?
What if there’s some extremely critical secret information in it?
The Abyss Lord is so powerful, what kind of existence is he, where does he come from, how does he cultivate?
The Immortal Emperor even wanted to personally make the trip, but he understood very well that others would definitely disagree.
He thought this way, and others would think the same!
The only way is for nobody among the top to go, but send someone below.
The Immortal Emperor pondered for a few seconds: "Although Lin Chen is really strong now, he’s ultimately just one person. If anything happens, not having a helping hand isn’t good. So, among my three disciples, I’ll select one to accompany Lin Chen, with Lin Chen being the priority, ensuring the mission is completed first."
The Immortal Emperor is the Lord of the Immortal World, having stated so, who can say otherwise?
Lin Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Saints don’t accompany him.
The three Immortal Monarchs, although strong, but now I shouldn’t fear them, even if there are any issues, I should be able to handle them.
Lin Chen didn’t think he was ill-hearted toward the Saint, as precaution is necessary. If I acted arrogantly all this way, who knows how many times I would’ve died.
The Shepherd Heavenly Monarch turned to Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, what do you think?"
Lin Chen responded straightforwardly: "I see no problem, I just don’t know which Immortal Monarch will accompany me on this journey?"
"Wait a moment."
The Immortal Emperor communicated with the three Immortal Monarchs, and soon, the Seven-colored, Qingluan, and Ranhai Immortal Monarchs appeared in the hall.
"The situation is as such, who of you is willing to accompany Lin Chen on this journey?"
The eyes of the three Immortal Monarchs all fell on Lin Chen, their faces filled with unmistakable astonishment.
To break through in such a short time?
Lin Chen is really incredible.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was the first to speak: "Lin Chen saved my life before, so perhaps this time I should go with him. I believe our cooperation along the way should be very pleasant."
The Qingluan Immortal Monarch, not willing to be outdone, smiled, saying: "Senior brother, you were injured in an incident before, and haven’t healed yet, better rest and recover. Let me go this time."
Pausing, the Qingluan Immortal Monarch further added: "The Starry Sky Demon Clan consists of Demonic Beasts, and I too am a Demon cultivator, so we are of the same kind, inherently closer. It is most suitable for me to go for this matter..."
