Chapter 1689: Chapter 1709: The Confidence of the Immortal Palace_1

Lin Chen agreed to Yao Xuanji’s request and undertook this task.

He came to the Immortal Palace with the original intention of assisting Yao Xuanji if possible. Now that there was a task to be done and Yao Xuanji trusted him, there was no reason not to accept it.

He had handled numerous sect annihilation situations before, so he was quite experienced. And the task at hand was much simpler than sect annihilation.

The Devil Palace is located in the southern part of the Heavenly Mystery Continent. According to the distribution of the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s influence, this area falls under the jurisdiction of the white-clothed Blood Envoy, one of the ten great Blood Envoys. The Palace Master of the Devil Palace, Feng Zhiyin, had been subdued by the white-clothed Blood Envoy. Even Meng Kaihui, who held the position of vice palace master, could not ascertain the true identity of the white-clothed Blood Envoy.

Yao Xuanji deemed this matter significant because Meng Kaihui had mentioned that Feng Zhiyin and the white-clothed Blood Envoy maintained a close relationship, and the former was aware of the true identity of the latter.

The true identity of the white-clothed Blood Envoy, one of the four blood envoys of the Heavenly Mystery Continent, was of great importance. It was undoubtedly worth a special trip.

The real mission this time was to apprehend Feng Zhiyin and interrogate him to reveal the identity of the white-clothed Blood Envoy.

According to the information provided by Meng Kaihui, there were five strong Celestials in the Devil Palace. The Palace Master Feng Zhiyin was the strongest, with late-stage Celestial Immortal strength, which is why he could control the Devil Palace so powerfully.

Besides the Palace Master, there were three mid-stage Celestial Immortals: the vice palace masters Gong Weihe, Chen Kelong and Meng Kaihui, and Zhao Chiha, the Enforcement Hall Master with early-stage Celestial Immortal strength. Gong Weihe and Zhao Chiha explicitly supported the master, Meng Kaihui opposed it, while Chen Kelong seemed to be neutral, avoiding involvement and focusing on his closed-door cultivation.

During the time Lin Chen was in isolation, the letter sent out by Cao Hechuan had produced results.

Two late-stage Celestial Immortals, Mu Tianxing and Luo Yun, came to the Immortal Palace along with five mid-stage Celestial Immortals and eight early-stage Celestial Immortals. With them came around fifty peak Golden Immortals and late-stage Golden Immortals.

Lin Chen had previously felt that the Immortal Palace seemed quite desolate, much like a withered flower from the day before, or the setting sun in the west. However, it was only until this moment that Lin Chen truly felt the might of the Immortal Palace.

Cao Hechuan was just the first Guard Commander of the Immortal Palace, and he had even resigned long ago. But just a few letters from him had summoned so many powerhouses. What if it were Domain Lord Yao Xiong who spoke?

What kind of spectacle would it be?

Although Lin Chen had previously analyzed the strategy for Yao Xuanji, it now seemed that the authority of the Immortal Palace was deeply ingrained in people’s hearts. Even though the Heavenly Dao Alliance had many strong members, such as the three kings, four ghosts, five loose immortals, and ten great Blood Envoys, all undoubtedly Celestial-level powerhouses, the Immortal Palace still held an absolute advantage in the overall view.

The advantage lies with us!

Yao Xuanji attached great importance to this operation. It was an opportunity for the Immortal Palace to flex its muscles and also investigate the identity of the white-clothed Blood Envoy from the Heavenly Dao Alliance. If it went well, they could lead to the disclosure of more members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

Yao Xuanji deployed Cao Hechuan, one late-stage Celestial Immortal, three mid-stage Celestial Immortals, and three early-stage Celestial Immortals, for a total of eight Celestial Immortals.

In addition to the Celestial Immortals, the team also included thirty Golden Immortals, which left Lin Chen in awe.

The Immortal Palace is truly impressive!

Although this power was not enough to completely overpower the likes of the ten major sects, it was more than sufficient to handle the first-class forces like the Devil Palace.

In the main hall, Yao Xuanji sat high on the throne of the Domain Lord with a solemn expression.

"Everyone is clear about the situation. Cao Hechuan is the team leader of this operation, and Lin Chen is the deputy team leader..."

Cao Hechuan and Lin Chen were calm, as they had been aware of this arrangement for some time, so there was no big reaction.

Making Cao Hechuan the team leader was Lin Chen’s suggestion. Originally, Yao Xuanji wanted to make Lin Chen the team leader directly, but Lin Chen felt that wasn’t right.

Having Cao Hechuan as the team leader, with his strength and prestige, would be accepted by everyone. As his deputy, although it might seem like nepotism, as a deputy, there would be less resistance.

Lin Chen didn’t necessarily want to stand out. He just wanted to do a good job while gaining more worldly experience.

In the end, Lin Chen had been in the Immortal Domain for less than ten years and was still quite unfamiliar with this world.

In the battle between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance, involving the top forces of the Immortal Domain, as he was already involved, it was better to actively participate. Perhaps this would bring him more opportunities.

"Lin Chen?"

"Who is this person? I’ve never heard of this name before."

"He looks very young. He’s not from the Immortal Palace. Which sect is he from?"

Yao Xuanji waited for everyone to express their confusion and surprise before speaking. "Lin Chen is not originally from this Immortal Domain. He comes from the Barbarian Realm, one of the Lower Realms, and is the Barbarian Realm Human Emperor. Ten thousand years ago, I was harmed by Weijiao. My body was suppressed in various places in the Barbarian Realm. It was Lin Chen who saved me and helped me deal with Weijiao, allowing me to resurrect and return to the Immortal Domain. Not long ago, I went to the Cloud Sky Continent and was ambushed by Weijiao. Once again, it was Lin Chen who saved me and others, thwarting Weijiao’s dark plot. Furthermore, Lin Chen has fought Weijiao several times, and several of Weijiao’s Celestial Immortals have died at Lin Chen’s hands. So, although his strength might not be as good as yours, he is more than qualified."
