Chapter 1262: Chapter 1282: Where is the Principle of Blocking Honored Guests Outside the Door?_1

Lin Chen was not the least concerned with the eradication of the remnants of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect.

If they did show up, he would naturally take care of them in passing, but he didn’t intend to go after them proactively.

He had more important things to do now.

He needed to go to Penglai!

Originally, he thought he might meet Gu Yuexi and Chu Jiaxue, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, at this gathering of worldly forces. However, neither of them showed up.

Among the ones from Cangshan Cave Heaven, there was Chen Tongxian, an old acquaintance of Lin Chen.

Chen Tongxian told Lin Chen that after receiving the information from Lin Chen’s Jade Slip, Gu Yuexi went into the Cangshan Forbidden Water Spirit Cave for Closed Door Cultivation.

She couldn’t leave the Forbidden Land until she had broken through her current level of cultivation.

The reason Gu Yuexi was so desperate was that she believed that the enemies Lin Chen faced were far too powerful. She needed to push hard in cultivation to ensure that she would not lag behind and could fight alongside Lin Chen.

Upon hearing what Chen Tongxian had to say, Lin Chen found his feelings somewhat conflicted.

Fight alongside him?

Even in the previous battles, he was not able to participate. He didn’t even have the privilege to watch from close quarters. All he could do was hang back, fearing any ripple effects from the battles.

Luckily, the Ascension Channel was expected to be rebuilt soon. Their relentless cultivation was essentially a good thing. It would allow them all to ascend to immortality together someday. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be separated between two realms again?

Since Gu Yuexi was cultivating in seclusion in the Sect’s Forbidden Land, it would be a while before Lin Chen could see her. Thus, he was anticipating meeting Chu Jiaxue.

Lin Chen was now approaching the Cave Null Middle Period. Although his realm was not the highest, his combat power was undoubtedly among the top-tier in the world. Given that he had four half-immortal servants by his side, Lin Chen had the confidence to go anywhere in the world without fear.

In the past, they might not have given Lin Chen the respect he deserved. But now, Lin Chen, known as the Human Emperor, had saved several immortals and forced the retreat of the demon army. He wanted to stay with his wife for the long term. Who would dare impede his path and offend him?

Both Cang Mountain and Xuanfeng Sect should have been rushing to express their respect. Their restraint was evident in itself.

However, throughout the main meeting, no one from the Xuanfeng Sect, or even from the Four Penglai Sects, made an appearance. This caused Lin Chen to sense that something was wrong.

Although Gao Yi was previously the Military Advisor for the King Kong Bandit Group, the group was not particularly notorious. Given that he was Lin Chen’s spokesperson, no one continued to hold that against him. He had since assumed an important position within the Human Race Union.

Accompanied by his four servants, Lin Chen sped towards Penglai at breakneck speed.

Penglai was located at the easternmost part of East Emperor State, resting on the ocean.

Lin Chen and the others stopped at Iron Sea City, a coastal city. Chu Jiaxue had mentioned that Iron Sea City belonged to the Xuanfeng Sect, so Lin Chen decided to gather some information here.

Without delay, Lin Chen went straight to the City Lord’s Mansion in Iron Sea City.

"The Four Penglai Sects didn’t send anyone?"

Incredibly surprised, City Lord Zhang Ying said, "I already reported the news to the Sect through a messenger. Given the relationship between you, Mr. Lin, and the Holy Maiden Chu Jiaxue, the Sect wouldn’t fail to send anyone..."

A feeling of heaviness filled Lin Chen’s heart, "Are you sure you reported to the Sect?"

"Yes."

Zhang Ying confidently replied, "I sent my personal guard, who is actually here now. Do you want me to call her in and ask?"

"That’s not necessary."

Zhang Ying replied, "I had initially planned to visit Penglai when I came to East Emperor State for the Herb Trade Festival. But the timing wasn’t right then. This is the perfect time for my visit. Why don’t you assign someone to guide me there?"

"Alright!"

Zhang Ying quickly asked the guard, Zhao Lan, who had previously delivered the message, to guide Lin Chen and the rest.

Zhao Lan led the group on a flying boat and after half a day’s journey across the vast sea, a gigantic island enveloped in white mist appeared before them. The island, cloaked by a barrier, was vaguely visible, appearing like a phantom, a Mirage City.

"Mr. Lin, we have arrived!"

The flying boat broke through the clouds, revealing the scene in front of them.

Majestic mountain peaks, waterfalls splashing among the mountains, immortal cranes dancing in the sky, epitomizing an Idyllic mystical landscape.

The flying boat landed on a vast square built from white jade, with the Penglai mountain gate at the end of the square. There was a giant rock, about a hundred meters high, by the mountain gate. Two giant characters appeared on the smooth, neat side facing the guests.

Penglai!

At the entrance to the mountain, four people stood, their eyes fixated on Lin Chen and his group, "Who is it that comes?"

Zhao Lan presented her Xuanfeng Sect Disciple Token, "Xuanfeng Sect, Zhao Lan."

The gatekeeper’s gaze shifted to Lin Chen and Ji Ruxue, who was wearing a mask, "What about them?"

Zhao Lan frowned and said loudly, "This is the current Human Emperor, Mr. Lin. Step aside quickly!"

Human Emperor!

The gatekeepers shared a glance, their faces brimming with irrepressible surprise.

"Please wait a moment. I will inform the Cave Master!"

After looking at each other, one guard quickly turned and entered the mountain gate.

Zhao Lan frowned and stated, "I, a disciple of Xuanfeng Sect, am escorting honored guests back to the mountain gate. Where is the decency in blocking guests at the entrance?"

An old man at the gate smiled and bowed his hand towards Lin Chen, "Mr. Lin, of esteemed standing, graces Penglai with his presence, bringing honor to Penglai. Please wait for a little while. Our Cave Master is sure to welcome you in person. Any less would be treating the valued guest unfairly."

Lin Chen slightly squinted his eyes and laughed lightly, "No rush, I can wait."
