Chapter 1242: Chapter 1262: She chose you, not me_1

"The Way of Refining exists in the Immortal Realm as well. The situation is similar to that in the Barren Wilderness. After all, you can imagine, such a self-serving cultivation method would definitely be disapproved of by many. Yet, they persist like maggots, you never really get rid of them completely."

Yu Wen Tuo candidly answered: "Weijiao has gained a lot of powerful subordinates, and one of them practices the Art of Refining. Weijiao trusts him a lot."

"His cultivation requires a large number of Wanling Blood Pearls, so Weijiao sent him to the Barren Wilderness. She hoped he could both help her deal with you, Boss, and refine human beings to collect blood beads."

"However, he recently encountered some problems in his cultivation, and cannot temporarily descend to the Lower Realm. So, Weijiao handed this task to me. But, he is still reluctant to part with these blood beads, so he sent a subordinate to assist me in heading to the Lower Realm."

"Once we three arrived at the Demon Emperor’s Palace, we found the Demon Emperor and gave him two choices. Either he declares war on the Human Clan directly, forcing you and Boss to reveal yourselves, or if he chose not to fight, we would kill him and replace him with someone who is willing to lead the demon race into war."

"The Demon Emperor immediately agreed to declare war on the Human Clan. On that guy’s suggestion who practices the Way of Creation, wherever our army went, the people of all cities were refined into Blood Dan."

"The Demon Emperor disagreed, arguing that if the Human Clan were to be eradicated, the demon race would lose their slaves. Then, even if they unify the continent, it would lose half its meaning."

"Seeing his discontent, I interjected in favor of the Demon Emperor. After seeing his helplessness, that guy took a step back and proposed that we spare the cities that surrendered without resistance. However, the cities that resisted would be besieged and sealed. All cultivators and civilians in those cities would be refined."

After listening silently, Lin Chen asked: "Where did those people from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect come from?"

Yu Wen Tuo replied: "When we descended to the Lower Realm, we did not go straight to the Demon Emperor’s Palace. We went to East Emperor State to investigate the disappearance of Weijiao’s primordial spirit avatar. We found out that you, the Human Emperor, were the last person she had seen."

"We hurried to South Yue Heng Mountain in the West Dogs State, intending to either capture you or threaten you with your relatives. However, entire South Yue Heng Mountain was deserted, absent of anyone but a few old and weak left behind as doorkeepers."

Lin Chen’s pupils dilated as he inwardly felt a surge of fear. He felt relieved about his instinctive reaction to let Senior Sister return and alert everyone to relocate upon seeing Weijiao’s primordial spirit descending to the Lower realm.

Without his foresight, the South Yue Heng Mountain would certainly have turned into a river of blood and no one would have been able to escape.

"Along the way, that guy made contact with the people from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect. It turns out, those who practice the Way of Refining in the Barren Wilderness are actually their disciples and grandchildren. Upon seeing people from the Immortal Realm, they were overjoyed as though they were celebrating the New Year. Without a second word, they followed us to Dongshengzhou, eventually winning by bluffing. They joined us in the military campaign, and any city that resisted was completely refined into Blood Dan."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen finally understood the complete story."

Lin Chen silently healed Yu Wen Tuo’s injuries before standing up: "All done."

Xuanji Fairy calmly said: "We will rest for two hours and then leave!"

Yu Wen Tuo promptly agreed: "Alright, Boss!"

Xuanji Fairy did not mind him calling her ’Boss’. Whether it’s Master or Boss, as long as he is dedicated to work for her, that’s fine. If he proves himself in the future, she will not only refrain from killing him but also promote him.

On the contrary to Weijiao, Weijiao is only his boss, who he can betray anytime. But Yu Wen Tuo’s True Soul is in the hands of Xuanji. If he dares to betray her, Xuanji can kill him anytime. Naturally, she can trust such a person to work for her.

Xuanji Fairy turned to Lin Chen: "Go for a walk with me."

Lin Chen blinked: "Alright!"

The two of them flew up into the air and landed on top of a mountain peak. Xuanji Fairy stood at the highest point of the peak. Her clothes swirling around her, she looked like a painting of an immortal.

Well, she is indeed an immortal. What an elegant temperament!

"I am leaving."

Xuanji Fairy’s voice was clear and carried a faint hint of melancholy.

Lin Chen pursed his lips, not surprised at all in his heart.

From the moment Yu Wen Tuo revealed the plan, Lin Chen knew that Xuanji Fairy was going to leave.

After they capture the other two immortals, they must seize the opportunity before the others react, fly directly to the Immortal Realm, and blend into the Boundary Gate. If they miss this opportunity, it’s likely they will never be able to enter the Immortal Realm.

If Weijiao learns that all three immortals have been captured, in order to prevent Xuanji Fairy from returning to the Immortal Realm, who knows what crazy action she will take.

For Weijiao, a loss probably equals death. Given this, she will naturally put up a desperate fight to kill Xuanji Fairy without blinking an eye.

Lin Chen replied: "Alright."

Xuanji Fairy turned her head, her beautiful eyes glistening like stars studying Lin Chen: "I want to borrow the Ghost Tower..."

Lin Chen chuckled: "The Ghost Tower hasn’t signed a Master-Servant Contract with me yet, it’s free. As long as Sister Qi agrees, it’s okay."

Xuanji Fairy said seriously: "Although it hasn’t signed the contract yet, it chose you, not me."

Lin Chen was slightly puzzled and said, "I’m just a small cultivator at the Nascent Soul Stage, while you are a Heavenly Maiden, the Lord’s Daughter, and an immortal. Why wouldn’t she choose you directly?"
