Chapter 1218: Chapter 1238: Breaking Promises, Demon Race Invading?_1

Oh dear!

Those who could be influenced were absent, those present either couldn’t be influenced or were uncooperative. What was originally a simple matter had suddenly become complicated.

Lin Chen pondered for a while and asked, "Don’t you have any other relatives? For example, your mother?"

Xuanji Fairy shook her head: "I’ve never met my mother. My father raised me. I asked him about her once, and he said she went to a far away place..."

Lin Chen’s gaze shifted slightly. Was she implying that her mother was no more?

Noticing Lin Chen’s change in expression, Xuanji Fairy further explained: "I asked my father, and he said that she didn’t die, but had actually gone to a distant place. But when I asked more, he wouldn’t answer. Eventually, I stopped asking. Personally, I suspect that there was some issue between him and my mother."

"The Immortal Palace stands supreme. When its Domain Lord issues an order, none dare refuse. However, the Immortal Palace itself does not host many people. It’s rather deserted, which is why I lack friends."

"With my father present, everything would naturally be fine. But in his absence, and with the powerful Guard Commander also being Weijiao’s father, not only can I not count on him, but I must also guard against him."

"Of course, although my father has been gone for five hundred years, he is still the Domain Lord. As his only daughter, I am sure there are many who would help me, just as long as I find the right people."

Lin Chen nodded: "Indeed, even in death, the tiger does not lose its might, let alone your father who has not fallen but merely left. Currently, it’s simply a case of ’monkeys rule the mountains when the tiger is not around’."

Xuanji Fairy responded: "It’s more or less like that. If possible, seeking help from Gao Yuan Gong shouldn’t be an issue. He does everything by himself and is very strong. If he finds out the truth, he will definitely support me and help us fight Weijiao."

Lin Chen, subconsciously, thought of the sisters from the True Dragon clan that he had met in the True Dragon Secret Realm. The younger sister, who was intractable, had been killed by Gao Yuan Gong and her Primordial Spirit was suppressed as punishment. The elder sister was punished to go to the Lower Realm to watch over her younger sister. After failing to kill him, she returned to the Immortal Realm.

"I had met Gao Yuan Gong’s attendant before, but it is a pity that I did not know about this at that time. Otherwise, I could have contacted Gao Yuan Gong through her..."

Xuanji Fairy curiously asked: "How did you meet his attendant?"

Lin Chen recounted the events in the True Dragon Secret Realm, to which Xuanji Fairy regretfully replied: "That is indeed a pity. If you could have contacted Gao Yuan Gong through her, then having him on my side, even if we couldn’t fight Weijiao, I could at least easily pass through the Boundary Gate and return to the Immortal Realm."

Through their conversation, Lin Chen gained a thorough understanding of the grievances between Xuanji Fairy and Weijiao, and also got a general idea about the state of the Immortal Realm, although it was limited to the stories of the Thunder Immortal Domain.

Weijiao sent a Primordial Spirit avatar of herself to deal with Xuanji Fairy, but did not expect this to give Xuanji Fairy a lot of valuable information, allowing her to make more accurate judgments.

If Xuanji Fairy didn’t have this information and recklessly returned, she might fall into a trap set by Weijiao. She would be burnt forever, never to rise again.

Leaving the Northern Icefield, Lin Chen entered North Wu State. Along the way, he planned to rest at a city, especially since it had been several months of travels.

Upon entering the city, Lin Chen found that all he saw were faces filled with anxiety.

Lin Chen, along with Si Defa and Yuan Ji, went into a restaurant. After ordering food, he asked the attendant, "Young man, I was just passing through and noticed that everyone seems worried. What happened here?"

The attendant sighed, "We are located on the eastern border of North Wu State, adjacent to Central Divine State and Dongpengzhou. The demon race is invading, and rivers of blood flow. The war is almost upon us, and those who can escape have already left. Those who can’t are just waiting for death. How can people not be on edge?"

Lin Chen widened his eyes: "The demon race is invading?"

The waiter nodded, "Yes, the Demon Army is invading. As they move forward, the cities that do not resist are only slightly better off. Those that resist are all destroyed in one fell swoop. Every citizen is killed. It’s too terrible to watch..."

Lin Chen was shocked, and even Si Defa and Yuan Ji beside him were wide-eyed.

Hadn’t the Demon Emperor agreed to Lin Chen, to cease the Thousand Cities Plan, to stop waging war on the Human Clan? So why were they now reneging on their promises and launching a war?

A person like the Demon Emperor wouldn’t change their mind under normal circumstances. So what had happened in the last half year that made the Demon Emperor overturn his previous decision?

Although there were plans to launch a war previously, it was to be an elite advance war, hence their Thousand Cities Plan, with the intention to have their elites push forward. Wherever they went, cities would capitulate and submit.

But how did such a drastic change occur in such a short period of time?

The army was pressing on, leaving rivers of blood in its wake.

What was going on?

Lin Chen frowned and asked: "Why did the demon race suddenly launch an attack?"

The attendant lowered his voice mysteriously: "It’s rumored that the demon race has the backing of an immortal. This time the demon race plans to subjugate our entire human clan and turn us into their slaves..."

An Immortal?

Lin Chen was shocked and instinctively thought of Weijiao.

Had she taken action again after detecting something wrong with her Primordial Spirit Avatar?
