Chapter 1716: Chapter 1736: The Mysterious and Aloof White-clothed Blood Envoy_1

"Senior Sister, what should I call you?"

Lin Chen, who was controlling the flying boat, was quite bored, so he started to strike up a conversation.

The woman sat cross-legged, speaking coldly: "Shut up."

Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Senior Sister, you seem to have suffered a severe internal injury. I happen to have a Heaven-Mending Pill which is known for curing internal injuries. Would you need it?"

The woman opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat surprised: "High-Grade, Heaven Mending Pill?"

Lin Chen pulled out a porcelain bottle and handed it to the woman, "Yes."

The woman took the bottle, opened it for a look, and her expression was somewhat surprised, "This elixir is hard to come by, even for a fortune. Where did you get it?"

Lin Chen casually made up a story, "I found it during an adventure in a Secret Realm, I only have two pills. I was severely injured at that time, so I took one, and there’s one left."

The woman was silent for a few seconds, "This elixir is very precious, why give it to me?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "You said that you would help me to become a True Immortal, didn’t you? I don’t know how to help you, so I thought this medicine might be of some use..."

The woman’s eyes were slightly surprised, "Aren’t you worried that I’m just deceiving you?"

Lin Chen laughed, "You seem to be so strong, Senior Sister. There’s no need for you to lie to me. If you just need me to control the flying boat for you, you can tell me directly. If I don’t obey, you can just kill me, I will still have to obey anyway."

The woman stared at Lin Chen for two seconds, her tone slightly softer, "I keep my words."

Lin Chen nodded, "I believe that. Where are we heading?"

The woman spoke, "Immortal Cloud Mansion."

Lin Chen was blank, "What is that?"

Perhaps because Lin Chen had given her a highly valuable high-grade elixir, her attitude towards him had softened a fair bit. She even began to explain, "The residence of the Medical Immortal, He Yunsheng."

Medical Immortal?

Lin Chen asked in surprise, "Are your injuries that serious, Senior Sister?"

The woman replied, "I already had old injuries. Now, with the new injuries compounded on the old ones, it’s even more serious."

Lin Chen had a sudden realization, and did not question anything further: "So, I should just head south?"

"Hmm, once you reach Cold Forest City, the Immortal Cloud Mansion is just a small town to the east."

Lin Chen kept the location of Cold Forest City in mind, assuring her: "You focus on your healing, and I promise I will get you there as quickly as possible."

The woman simply responded with a hum, putting the Heaven Mending Pill into her mouth and then closed her eyes.

Lin Chen sighed with relief, turned around to control the flying boat, and set course to the south.

He had given her a Heaven Mending Pill simply as a way of starting a conversation, hoping to figure out her destination. After all, if her destination was actually the headquarter of the Heaven Returning Alliance, then he had delivered himself right into their hands.

Now that he knew she was heading to the Immortal Cloud Mansion to seek treatment, he didn’t mind accompanying her on her journey. After all, he was still quite concerned about becoming a True Immortal.

Bottlenecks could be nothing if you understood and could break through them. However, if you didn’t understand and couldn’t break through, they became iron locks that trapped your future.

In fact, during the month he was stationed at the Heaven Path Alliance branch, he had attempted to understand more about this Four Seas Immortal Monarch from Wang Xue and the others. He found out that Four Seas Immortal Monarch seldom visited the branch, and it was always Alliance Vice Leader Chen Xianqiao who took care of the branch.

Wang Xue said everyone had similar impressions of the Alliance Master of the branch. He apparently didn’t care much about the development of the branch, and most people hadn’t even seen the Alliance Leader.

Those who had met the Alliance Leader in the management levels had surprisingly similar impressions about him. He didn’t seem willing to interact with others, and usually stayed in his stone chamber when he dropped by occasionally.

Mysterious, aloof.

Based on the impressions Wang Xue and others had of the Four Seas Immortal Monarch, Lin Chen speculated that although he was the White-clothed Blood Envoy, he might not be that invested in the development of the Southern Branch.

Lin Chen had also subtly asked Feng He and Mu Yan’er. The White-clothed Blood Envoy only ever appeared once to recruit from the Devil Palace which was refused by Feng Zhiyin.

After that, it was Vice Alliance Master Chen Xianqiao who used various means and threatened Feng Zhiyin into joining. All plans were released by Chen Xianqiao, and carried out by Foreign Affairs Hall Master Yan Hao.

Now having direct contact, Lin Chen began to understand the views of these people.

Four Seas Immortal Monarch was a woman, but she always appeared as a man in front of others. Lin Chen was not surprised about this, as there were many accessories and magical treasures that could conceal one’s appearance to such an effect.

Even though she was a soft and feminine woman, once she donned the concealment magical treasure, she could look like a rough and coarse man to others, and her voice could also be altered. It would be hard to notice anything strange unless there was direct contact.

Since Four Seas Immortal Monarch had such a high and revered status as the White-clothed Blood Envoy, who would dare to interact with her directly?

Perhaps Chen Xianqiao knew her real identity, but the common disciples were completely oblivious.

The Southern branch had been attacked and it seemed she already knew about it. However, she didn’t seem to care at all. She didn’t rush back to the headquarter, nor did she try to reassemble the ruins. She just headed towards the Immortal Cloud Mansion.

Having discovered that she was not as terrifying as he had expected, Lin Chen decided to take the risk and accompany her.

Who knows, she might keep her word and help him achieve the True Immortal stage.
