Chapter 1540: Chapter 1560: I Have Underestimated Him!_1

"This time, in our fishing operation, we underestimated the determination of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the efficiency of their call for powerhouses. It surprised us how they managed to gather several Celestial Immortals and a large number of experts in such a brief time, including some late-stage Celestial Immortals..."

"Their attack was swift and fierce. Although we managed to stop the weaker ones with the sky thunder bombs provided earlier, we could not stop the late-stage Celestial Immortals at all. If it was not for Lin Chen, who remained calm under pressure, protected Xuan Ji and bought us some time, our foe might have succeeded by now."

Lin Chen, was indeed frightened. What did it feel like to be chased by a late-stage Celestial Immortal?

It was like a primitive man running frantically in a natural disaster, where even one misstep would result in a fatal end.

He originally planned to hide in the Qiqiao Hall whenever danger appeared, but the opponent acted too quickly and decisively.

There was not even a moment of hesitation or delay; they struck with a lethal blow!

In such a situation, Lin Chen had no chance to hide in Qiqiao Hall.

As for the magical treasures on Lin Chen, they were utterly powerless against a late-stage Celestial Immortal; even his robust Sword Bone would shatter upon a single blow.

Ao Li’s subordinate came to report: "We have roughly summarized that in this battle, we have severely injured two Celestial Immortals, one late-stage and one middle-stage. We killed an early-stage Celestial Immortal, his body was destroyed and his Primordial Spirit escaped. We also killed fifteen Golden and True Immortals..."

"Good!"

Ao Li waved her hand; "Try to find out the identities of these people and compile them for me."

"Yes!"

After dismissing her subordinate, Ao Li turned around and said: "Now that the matter is resolved, we can continue our journey. I will accompany you."

"Good!"

Yao Xuanji did not say much; Ao Li’s intervention was the strongest statement of Wanli Palace’s position.

This battle would certainly spread across the entire Cloud Sky Continent.

The members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, or those who had certain intentions, would have to weigh whether they could withstand the anger of Wanli Palace before they could act.

With Ao Li and her team accompanying them, the rest of the journey would naturally not be dangerous unless someone was sick of living.

...

Somewhere in the Wastelands.

Wearing a red dress, Weijiao sat in a chair holding a glass of wine, staring blankly in the distance.

Behind Weijiao stood a white-haired woman, as silent as a guard.

"Judging by the time, they should have made their move, right?"

The white-haired woman answered: "They might have succeeded already and are on their way back."

Weijiao took a sip of wine, gently swirling the white porcelain cup in her hand, her eyes distant: "It’s still a bit regrettable if I haven’t seen her die with my own eyes."

The white-haired woman hesitated and then said: "Why didn’t Your Excellency accompany them? With the strength of your retinue, there is no doubt that you will succeed this time. Such power is sufficient to destroy any sect in this continent..."

Weijiao said indifferently: "I lost face once. I don’t want to lose it a second time."

Although the white-haired woman felt that it was impossible for them to lose face a second time, she did not bring up the matter again, only sighing: "It’s a pity that Lin Chen, with his unparalleled pill refinement skill, has to die."

Weijiao’s gaze was cold and full of hatred: "Yao Xuanji escaped from the Forbidden Land, and it’s highly related to him. It doesn’t matter if he’s a Pill King or whatever. He must die!"

"I underestimated him, the Human Emperor of the Barren Wilderness!"

The white-haired woman comforted: "The Barbarian Wilderness is just a Lower Realm. Even if he ascends to immortality, he is merely a Human Immortal who can be easily killed in a blink. Your Excellency need not worry."

Weijiao coldly stated: "This person has an extremely good fate. In just a few years, he has grown from an unknown figure to the Human Emperor of the Barbarian Wilderness. Since he entered the Immortal Realm and obtained the legacy of Su Shaoling’s Heavenly Sword, given time, he will become a major threat. Such a man will only cause trouble unless he dies. As for pill refinement, there are plenty of people in this world who can refine pills. We won’t lack one!"

After the previous failure, Weijiao sent people to investigate Lin Chen’s background. This investigation shocked her.

The youngster was actually the Human Emperor of the Barren Wilderness!

The one who rescued Yao Xuanji was him!

The one who tamed her Immortal Slave was him!

The one who destroyed her primordial spirit avatar was related to him!

After ascending to the Immortal Realm, he obtained the legacy of the Heavenly Sword, joined the White Crane Immortal Sect, destroyed the True Immortal of the Haotian Sect, annihilated the Donghua Ancestor, entered the Divine Splendor Tower, and became the Pill King...

This man, if not dead, will become a major problem!

After understanding Lin Chen’s background, Weijiao had already sentenced him to death in her heart.

The horizon was suddenly filled with a golden light.

Weijiao looked up.

A look of joy appeared on the face of the white-haired woman: "They are back!"

The golden light arrived in an instant, and a figure descended, landing in front of Weijiao. It was the middle-aged man who had fought with Ao Li before.

The middle-aged man had barely landed when he staggered, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Some of the blood splattered on the little white table in front of Weijiao, like a blooming blood-colored plum flower.

Weijiao’s face abruptly changed: "What happened?"

The middle-aged man looked up, his face pale, his eyes full of undeniable terror.

"It was a trap! Wanli Palace, Ao Li intervened!"

"The beheading plan failed. Most of our men are dead, and those who managed to escape are all seriously injured. Ge Qing even lost his body..."

"Bang!"

The wine glass in Weijiao’s hand was crushed...
