Chapter 1782: Chapter 1802: We are your captives!_1

"What is the matter you are corresponding with the Heavenly Dao Alliance about? What is the content of your messages?"

Lin Chen was quite surprised. Although he was well aware that there was a Blood Envoy of the Heavenly Dao Alliance in charge of every continent, he never expected that even the indomitable Dragon Clan would have a connection with them.

Servant A answered, "We are not very clear on the specifics, we just accompany the young master on his travels, but it seems to have something to do with cooperation."

Lin Chen turned his gaze on Meng Yan: "They’re not sure, are you willing to tell me?"

Meng Yan did not want to speak to Lin Chen, but Lin Chen’s smile, more of a smirk, made him feel uneasy. The golden winged roc constantly staring at him heightened his fears.

Swallowing hard, Meng Yan eventually couldn’t hold it any longer.

His dignity mattered, but his life mattered too!

"The Blood Envoy in Blue from the Heavenly Dao Alliance invited our Azure Dragon Clan to cooperate with them, to jointly rule the Dragon Spirit Continent. I don’t know the exact details, my role was only to deliver the message."

Lin Chen frowned, "The Heavenly Dao Alliance invited the Azure Dragon Clan. Your Rock Tribe is just a branch of the Azure Dragon Clan, when did it fall upon you to speak on behalf of the entire Azure Dragon Clan?"

Meng Yan replied, "We are not representing the Azure Dragon Clan, just our Rock Tribe. Our tribe leader has had some cooperation with them, so our interactions with them are also a way for the Azure Dragon Clan to test the waters, to gauge if deeper cooperation is worthwhile."

Lin Chen thought of the woman who came from the Qinglong Palace and took out the sketch he had drawn earlier. "This woman must have come from the Qinglong Palace. Do you know her?"

Upon a closer look, a surprised look appeared on Meng Yan’s face: "This is Meng Ke, the granddaughter of our Azure Dragon Clan’s chief. How did you get her picture?"

The chief’s granddaughter?

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, she was a highly distinguished figure.

"How does your clan chief feel about her?"

Meng Yan replied, "The clan chief adores her. Even though she hasn’t held any positions, her status in the clan is very high because of the chief’s love..."

He loves her!

This was great news.

As long as he could capture Meng Ke, he should be able to use her to exchange for Brother Bai and others without any issues.

The chief of the Azure Dragon Clan, certainly you don’t want your granddaughter to die in my hands, do you?

Lin Chen asked, "Since she doesn’t hold any positions, why did she come to your tribe at this time?"

Meng Yan asked in surprise, "She came to the tribe?"

Lin Chen stared at Meng Yan, not saying a word.

Realizing his captive situation with a start, Meng Yan remembered that he was a prisoner, he had to cooperate with the questioning, or else he would become the food for the golden-winged roc.

"I went to deliver the message earlier, I don’t know why she came, perhaps because of our chief’s second son Meng Zhan. It is said that he fell in love with Meng Ke at first sight and persuaded his father, our tribe leader, to propose marriage to the clan chief on his behalf. I only know the basics, I’m not sure about the exact situation."

Marriage proposal?

Lin Chen was not concerned about this. Regardless of what her purpose here was, she was his kidnap target.

That was enough.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and then asked, "What kind of cooperation have you had with the Heavenly Dao Alliance? Did you directly deal with the Blood Envoy in Blue?"

Meng Yan shook his head, "We have just completed some transactions, no profound cooperation. I only met with a subordinate of the Blood Envoy in Blue to relay messages. I haven’t seen the Blood Envoy."

Lin Chen was somewhat disappointed. "Where is their base?"

Meng Yan shook his head, "I only met with the other party at the agreed time and place to deliver the message. My task was done then. My father had initially assigned this task to me just to keep me busy so that I wouldn’t annoy him."

With that said, it seemed that there was no need to probe further.

Zhao Yuan asked, "What do we do with him?"

"Just keep him for now. After all, he is the son of the Rock Tribe’s Great General; he’ll make a good hostage..."

Lin Chen looked at the two servants, "Getting us into the tribe, they can handle it... You should be cooperative, right?"

The two servants were complaining internally, but with their lives in someone else’s hands, they had no room for refusal.

They were originally not from the Dragon Clan and pledged their loyalty to the Dragon Clan only because of its might; they didn’t have much allegiance to the Dragon Clan.

"Whatever you say, I’ll do, just please spare our lives in the end!"

Lin Chen nodded, "We don’t mean to harm you. As long as you cooperate, we won’t kill you. If there’s any chaos, seize the opportunity to escape. Whether you live or die, it’s up to your fate."

The two servants breathed a sigh of relief; even though Lin Chen’s words still left them feeling insecure, his assurance made them believe him instead.

It appeared that to survive, they had no choice but to take a gamble.

"What should we do?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Is it typical for the Dragon Clan to catch human captives when going out?"

"Yes, the more captives caught, especially cultivators with strong powers, the more rewards are given in the tribes."

Lin Chen nodded, "Good, from now on, we are the captives you have caught..."
