Chapter 1798: Chapter 1818: I Want to Fight You One-On-One_1

After discovering the Spirit Vein, the Hundred Calamities Sect had already constructed an array at a suitable location, capable of accommodating fifty people for simultaneous cultivation.

In accordance with the agreement between the Hundred Calamities Sect and the Dragon Clan, the sect will allow thirty internal disciples to cultivate within the array at the same time.

Having helped the Hundred Calamities Sect rescue the captured disciples, Lin Chen had rendered a great service to the sect. Coupled with his special status as an Envoy of the Immortal Palace, it was not unreasonable for him to request a cultivation spot.

Xi Junshan was very cooperative. When Lin Chen and Bai Mo came back from their conversation, he proactively brought up the matter.

"Special Envoy Lin, it is all thanks to your help that the issue has been resolved. I don’t know how to express my gratitude. The Spirit Vein will soon be operational, and you are welcome to cultivate there if you are not in a hurry. Consider it a token of appreciation from the Hundred Calamities Sect."

Lin Chen naturally would not reject an opportunity to rapidly enhance his strength.

"Thank you, Sect Master Xi. I will not stand on ceremony then."

Xi Junshan laughed heartily, "Envoy Lin, don’t stand on ceremony at all!"

With the agreement reached, Lin Chen entered the Spirit Vein with the others, ready to begin his cultivation.

While waiting for the Array Formation to be initiated, twenty selected disciples were seen walking over from the Rock Tribe, ready to join the Array. The leader was none other than Meng Ke.

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Meng Ke walked over.

"Lin Chen, we meet again."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Nice to see you again, Miss Meng!"

Every time Meng Ke saw the smile on Lin Chen’s face, she found it utterly annoying, wanting to land a solid punch on his face.

Meng Ke mocked, "The human world stories you were telling me before are not finished yet. The Array hasn’t been activated and we have nothing better to do. Would you like to continue?"

Meng Ke was mocking Lin Chen for his previous actions, but Lin Chen simply responded with a smile, "If Miss Meng is interested, that’s no problem for me."

Meng Ke didn’t expect Lin Chen to react that way, her mocking words lodged in her throat.

His smile is so irritating!

"I wouldn’t dare to. You are an envoy from the Immortal Palace, unlike a captive or a slave with no rights. But Special Envoy Lin, when you were playing the captive and the slave, you were quite convincing. Is that how you serve in the Immortal Palace?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Miss Meng, the past is the past. Any more thought to it would be unhealthy. It’s not necessary."

Meng Ke rolled her eyes, "Shameless!"

Of course, Meng Ke knew she was somewhat unreasonable, as the human clan and Dragon clan had been warring for who knows how long. It wouldn’t be a problem for whatever tricks Lin Chen used. After all, had not the Rock Tribe ambushed the Hundred Calamities Sect before?

Lin Chen wasn’t doing anything when he captured her. This was totally normal. If he didn’t just capture her and instead killed her, that would also be normal. The reason why Meng Ke kept on being frustrated was because she blamed herself.

Hadn’t she foolishly trusted Lin Chen? Would she have been captured by him otherwise?

Even a Heavenly Fairy was unable to break the defensive Array Disk, but she let Lin Chen in, leading to her being ambushed and captured.

This was a downright insult!

It’s very upsetting!

Lin Chen felt a bit guilty about her, after all, he had taken advantage of her kindness, so he didn’t take her scolding to heart.

Losing a piece of meat didn’t bother him a bit!

Bai Mo, who was on the side watching everything, had a gleeful look in his eyes.

Junior Brother had only mentioned that he captured Meng Ke, but the details of how it happened seemed to have a lot of secrets.

"How did you manage to capture her? She looks really angry. It seemed like you abandoned her after a whirlwind romance....."

As Lin Chen briefly described the incident, Bai Mo chuckled, "I see. It’s no wonder she is so upset. Junior Brother, your actions really stabbed her in the chest."

Lin Chen rolled his eyes, "Second Senior Brother, you really should be more ethical when speaking. If it wasn’t for saving you, would I have done that?"

Meng Ke saw Lin Chen and Bai Mo whispering to each other. Bai Mo was grinning, and she suddenly realized that Lin Chen must have been talking about how she had been captured.

"You’re his friend, aren’t you?"

Bai Mo coughed, "Yes, that’s correct. We were fellow disciples in the Barren Wilderness."

Meng Ke gritted her teeth, turned to glance at Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, I challenge you to a duel!"

Lin Chen wasn’t surprised by Meng Ke’s proposal, he asked, "How strong are you?"

"Mid-stage True Immortal."

Lin Chen laughed, "I’m only an early-stage True Immortal. I won’t be able to compete with you."

Meng Ke sneered, "Don’t kid with me, you are likely born with an Innate Dao Body, with Phenomenon, your combat power won’t be weak."

Lin Chen shook his head, "I refuse!"

Meng Ke was angry, "Why won’t you fight?"

Lin Chen laughed, "There’s no point in fighting. If I lose, it would be embarrassing, and if I win, there’s no benefit. So why fight?"

Meng Ke was filled with frustration. After all, Lin Chen was an Envoy from the Immortal Palace. She dared not confront him directly, hence this feigned eagerness for a duel.

Her aunt advised her to not provoke Lin Chen, but a public challenge, a fair fight, and a severe beating leading to Lin Chen’s severe injury would likely cool her anger. That should be all right, right?

Seeing Lin Chen’s rejection, Meng Ke was somewhat anxious, "If you beat me, I’ll tell you an important piece of news..."
