Chapter 1778: Chapter 1798: Important Guest of the Tribe_1

Lin Chen’s words set Xi Junshan at ease.

Lin Chen did not use his status to coerce him. Instead, he considered things from the standpoint of the Hundred Calamities Sect.

Regardless of whether the plan works or not, at least the Hundred Calamities Sect won’t be so passive.

Lin Chen said calmly, "If we want to act, we must act swiftly and deliver a Thunderbolt Strike before the Azure Dragon Clan responds. Otherwise, we’ll be put on the defensive. Unless we are ready to sacrifice those disciples, the only other option is to yield. After all, neither side fears the other, and they don’t have much to lose. If a confrontation is inevitable, their killing would be justified."

Xi Junshan nodded, "As soon as I got the news, I immediately sent out quite a few people to investigate the movements of the Azure Dragon Tribe. We should have their reports soon. Although there are disputes within our sect, we are also waiting for the news."

Lin Chen nodded, "While I worry about my senior brother Bai, the decision of the Hundred Calamities Sect is my highest priority. However, if the Hundred Calamities Sect decides to abandon this mission, please inform me in advance. I will try to rescue my senior brother Bai by my own means."

After a pause, Lin Chen added, "Everyone here must be well aware of the Dragon Clan’s attitude towards the Immortal Palace. Therefore, I can’t promise a significant amount of support from the Immortal Palace. Even if I end up going to the rescue, I might only be able to devise a personal plan to save my senior brother Bai."

There was a hint of disappointment in Xi Junshan’s eyes. They respected Lin Chen, both for honoring the Immortal Palace and hoping to borrow its strength. However, Lin Chen’s statement shattered that hope.

The Dragon Clan had been ignoring the Immortal Palace. They were self-reliant in the Dragon Clan’s territory, not giving face to anyone. Naturally, they wouldn’t give face to Lin Chen, the Special Envoy of the Immortal Palace.

That was a fact.

Lin Chen’s words were very clear. He respected their decisions as they were internal matters of the Hundred Calamities Sect and they should make their own decisions and bear the consequences.

If they chose to abandon their disciples for the honor of the sect, he would understand. But he asked for some time before they made the final decision, as he would try to rescue Bai Mo himself.

Rescuing Bai Mo was his personal endeavor, so they shouldn’t expect him to rescue anyone else.

Xi Junshan agreed without hesitation, "Of course, that’s not a problem."

Lin Chen had already given him enough respect and had not pressured him at all. Moreover, if he decided to give up, it would be his own decision, unrelated to Lin Chen.

If anyone was to be blamed for incompetence, it would be him, the Sect Master.

With that said, there wasn’t much else to discuss. Lin Chen was then arranged to stay within the sect.

Over the next two days, scouts started to return, most bearing news of little actual use, until one scout returned.

"What, an important figure of the Azure Dragon Clan has arrived at the Rock Tribe?"

The Dragon Clan does not favor communal living, especially powerful dragons. They often leave the Dragon Clan headquarters when they come of age, taking their family and followers with them to start a new, smaller tribe. As time passes, these tribes eventually grow larger.

The Rock Tribe is the name of a branch of the Azure Dragon Tribe north of the Hundred Calamities Sect. The name derives from its tribal source, the tribe’s leader, Meng Panshi.

The composition of Dragon Clan tribes is fairly diverse, basically divided into three levels.

The first level includes dragons of pure Dragon Clan lineage, such as pure-blooded Azure Dragons. Regardless of their strength, age, or gender, they all belong to the first level.

The second level includes pseudodragons who possess Dragon Clan lineage but not pure bloodline, such as Flood Dragons. They are the offspring of pure-blooded dragons and non-dragons.

The third level includes servile races that have no connection to the Dragon Clan. After all, the Dragon Clan is very powerful, so many demon races choose to serve the Dragon Clan and become their subordinates or servants.

If you split it accurately, there’s actually a fourth level, which are the slaves.

The Dragon Clan and the Human Clan on the Dragon Spirit Continent have been at war for many years. The Dragon Clan often capture humans to make up for their small numbers. They take these humans back to serve them.

This group has no freedom or guarantee of safety. They’re the Dragon Clan’s personal property, and any children they have are also slaves, bound to this life forever with no chance of ever changing their status.

As for Bai Mo and the others, if they don’t get killed, they’ll become slaves, serving the Dragon Clan for a lifetime, with no escape.

As for escape?

The Dragon Clan naturally has ways to enslave slaves, ensuring they have no chance to escape.

"Who is the important guest?"

Could it have something to do with this dispute with the Hundred Calamities Sect, or perhaps, related to the Spirit Veins?

"The identity is unclear. I didn’t dare get close to the tribe. I only saw a colored carriage being pulled by a group of two-headed dragons, surrounded by several powerful guards. I watched from afar, and inside the carriage, there was a very young woman."

"We wouldn’t have been able to see her if she hadn’t looked out the window, and that’s when we spotted her. She seems young, but she appears to be of very high status..."
