Chapter 1776: Chapter 1796: Bai Mo is Taken Captive?_1

Zhao Yuan looked somewhat hesitant.

If Lin Chen was only an ordinary disciple of the White Crane Immortal Sect, he wouldn’t speak much to him. However, Lin Chen being Su Shaoling’s disciple puts him in a special status that he cannot ignore.

Lin Chen spoke in a low voice, "Zhao Fellow Cultivator, no matter what situation Brother Bai is in, please inform me clearly. Brother Bai, to me, is like an elder brother, and is of great importance."

Zhao Yuan sighed, "Some time ago, our Hundred Tribulations Sect had a fight with the Azure Dragon Clan over a Spirit Vein resource which resulted in a loss for us because we weren’t well-prepared. Several of our experts died, and a few were captured. Bai Mo was one of those captured."

Lin Chen widened his eyes: "Captured by the Azure Dragon Clan?"

Zhao Yuan nodded, "Yes, our sect is currently negotiating with the Azure Dragon Clan and trying to rescue these disciples. If the negotiations are successful, we should be able to rescue them soon."

Lin Chen frowned and asked, "What if the negotiations are not successful?"

Zhao Yuan frowned, avoiding a direct answer to Lin Chen’s question and only said, "The sect will never abandon any disciple and will try its best to rescue them all."

Lin Chen understood.

The sect would try its best to rescue them, but can’t guarantee the outcome.

If the negotiations are successful, these disciples could return. If not, they may never come back.

Lin Chen didn’t complain. Since Bai Mo joined the Hundred Tribulations Sect, as a disciple of the Hundred Tribulations Sect. It’s expected of him to battle for the sect. If he was captured due to lack of strength, it would be an inevitable situation.

What’s most important now is to figure out how to rescue these people.

The first thing that came to Lin Chen’s mind was his status as the Immortal Palace Special Envoy, which, however, brought a bitter smile to his face.

The Dragon Clan has never respected the authority of the Immortal Palace and living in the chaotic Dragon Spirit Continent, the Dragon Clan are all militant fighters. The status of an Immortal Palace Special Envoy doesn’t hold much sway with them.

The second thing that Lin Chen thought of was the Black Dragon King. Yet, it was the Azure Dragon Clan, not the Black Dragon Clan, who had fought with the Hundred Tribulations Sect for the Spirit Vein. Even though the Black Dragon King is powerful, he probably has no control over the Azure Dragon Clan.

If the Black Dragon King went to the Azure Dragon Clan and asked for a favor to release Bai Mo, that might work. However, wouldn’t that mean the Black Dragon King would owe the Azure Dragon Clan a favor?

There is also competition within the Dragon Clan. The Black Dragon King and I are not friends, why would he lower his head for me?

If it were me in trouble, the Black Dragon King might help considering the friendship with Yao Xiong. However, in case of my Senior Brother, he is a level removed from me. He surely wouldn’t be willing to help.

Difficult.

As Lin Chen was thinking about the possible solutions, he revealed his new identity: "Fellow Cultivator Zhao, I am currently serving as the Immortal Palace’s Special Envoy. Can this status be of some help in their rescue?"

Immortal Palace Special Envoy?

Zhao Yuan was quite surprised. If the identity of Su Shaoling’s disciple can give him a little more respect, the identity as the Immortal Palace Special Envoy indeed deserved his full attention.

At present, Immortal Palace is fighting against the Heavenly Dao Alliance. In the war, they’ve killed more than a dozen Heavenly Immortals, several hundred Golden Immortals and True Immortals from the Southern Alliance of the Heavenly Dao Alliance. It was incredibly shocking.

Everyone has realized that even if the one presiding over the Immortal Palace now is not the powerful Yao Xiong, but his daughter Yao Xuanji, the Immortal Palace clearly has the terrifying combat power to suppress any sect.

Even if you internally disregard the Immortal Palace and refuse to succumb to its commands, you must maintain enough respect for the Immortal Palace or else it could bring about a big disaster!

Lin Chen revealed his token which established his identity as the Immortal Palace Special Envoy.

Zhao Yuan’s expression turned much more respectful, he once again saluted, "So it’s Special Envoy Lin, I apologize for any rudeness before!"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Don’t be so polite, Fellow Zhao. I was just coming for a visit to an old friend. I did not expect to encounter this situation. Therefore, I hope we can safely rescue the captured. If possible, I wish to understand more about the situation and participate in the upcoming rescue operation."

Putting forth his status as the Immortal Palace Special Envoy, Lin Chen has clearly indicated that he intended to use it to press the Hundred Tribulations Sect into going out of their way to rescue Bai Mo, and not abandon him so lightly.

Most sects would find it normal to abandon a disciple who is not that important in exchange for huge benefits, not all sects maintain as harmonious relationships as the Nanyue Hengshan.

Zhao Yuan agreed, "Naturally, there’s no problem with that. Special Envoy Lin, please wait a moment. I will bring Elder Liu Qingshan, who is in charge of this matter, to personally introduce the situation to you."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Fellow Zhao!"

Zhao Yuan courteously said, "Don’t mention it, Special Envoy Lin. This is what we should do."

Soon, a white-haired old man with an immortal wind aura arrived in front of Lin Chen, bowed to Lin Chen and said, respectfully and politely, "Hundred Tribulation’s Sect elder Liu Qingshan, pays respects to Special Envoy Lin!"

Lin Chen returned the gesture saying, "Elder Liu, don’t be so formal, I’m sorry to bother you."

Liu Qingshan gestured, "Special Envoy Lin, this is not a suitable place for conversation. Please follow me!"
