Chapter 1805: Chapter 1825: I just want to beat them up, don’t panic!_1

All the mockery and laughter suddenly disappeared.

Everyone glared at Lin Chen, their eyes filled with unmistakable rage.

"Just you?"

"You certainly know how to boast, don’t you!"

"Let me knock some sense into you first and see if you’re still as arrogant."

Lin Chen answered with a slight smile, "My strength is insignificant compared to all of you. I’m only at the mid-stage of a True Immortal."

Before the crowd could continue their tirades, Lin Chen’s tone turned slightly colder, "Whether you’re True Immortal Realm combatants or have artificially constrained your strength to that level, I’m ready to accept your challenges. I want to see whether the Dragon Clan’s arrogance really has any validation, or if it’s just mere hubris, and you’ve only mastered the art of idle talk."

If you want to challenge me, bring it on!

The Dragon Clan members across from Lin Chen were thrilled, each eager to join the fight.

"Zi Yuan, let me deal with him!"

"Allow me!"

As Meng Ziyuan looked at Lin Chen, his gaze grew more serious.

Being a strong contender for the position of Junior Clan Leader, he was not obtuse. Lin Chen’s words had provoked a sense of caution within him.

Could it be that this Lin Chen is really formidable?

Just as Meng Ziyuan was about to speak, the door to the room swung open, and Meng Shuyu walked out, asking coldly, "What are you all doing?"

Meng Ziyuan responded offhandedly, "Just chatting with Special Envoy Lin, preparing for a friendly competition to kill some time."

Meng Shuyu coldly retorted, "He is a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, carrying the Immortal Palace Order. He represents the Immortal Palace and, by extension, the Domain Lord. Can you represent the Azure Dragon Clan, let alone the entire Dragon Clan?"

Meng Ziyuan’s face darkened visibly at her words. They were a clear slap in his face. Was she implying that his status was insufficient, that he wasn’t worthy to challenge Lin Chen on equal footing?

With the Immortal Palace Order, Lin Chen’s words represent the Palace’s stance. But what about you?

Who can you represent?

If Lin Chen gets provoked, he can launch a war against the Dragon Clan on the Immortal Palace’s behalf. Would you dare to respond?

Can you handle the consequences?

True, the Dragon Clan has always been defiant against the Immortal Palace’s orders, but that doesn’t mean the Dragon Clan can disrespect and oppose the Immortal Palace.

Meng Ziyuan retorted coldly, "Meng Shuyu, you don’t need to exaggerate the situation. We just invited Special Envoy Lin to a friendly competition. He agreed, so there’s no need for anyone to represent anyone else. I guess representing myself should be enough?"

Meng Shuyu wanted to say something more, but Lin Chen cut in casually, "Ms. Meng, if they want to compete with me, then let’s have a go. It’s no big deal. However, I hope that during our competition, none of you utilize the powers beyond that of a Golden Immortal or Heavenly Immortal. Otherwise, that could be troublesome."

Meng Ziyuan looked indignant, "Rest assured, we will never resort to using the powers of a Golden Immortal."

Lin Chen smiled lightly, "Then I’ll take your word for it."

Meng Ziyuan turned and called out, "Meng Haoxing, you’re up."

A burly young man stepped forward from behind Meng Ziyuan, a fist thumping into his palm and a smug look on his face, "Brother Zi Yuan, don’t worry. I’ll go all out and have a good bout with Special Envoy Lin. I won’t disappoint him."

Meng Shuyu looked at the group of intimidating figures on the other side, then turned to look at Lin Chen. She whispered, "Special Envoy Lin..."

Lin Chen merely smiled and replied, "As a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, I can’t be treated with disrespect. If they want to fight, I’ll play along. You don’t have to worry. Besides, you don’t support them anyway, do you?"

Meng Shuyu looked into Lin Chen’s icy eyes and felt a sinking feeling in her heart.

Others might not know about Lin Chen’s combat strength, but she had an idea.

When he was only an early-stage True Immortal, he dared to infiltrate the Rock Tribe and get close to Meng Ke. It should be noted that Meng Ke was being guarded by two Heavenly Immortals and more than a dozen Golden Immortals!

Seizing Meng Ke and killing three Golden Immortal Guards during a chaotic battle, how many True Immortals could have done that?

Moreover, Meng Shuyu had heard that Lin Chen held a one-on-one duel with Meng Ke a year ago. It was an early-stage True Immortal against a mid-stage True Immortal, and Meng Ke lost!

He didn’t just lose; he was completely overwhelmed, with no chance of fighting back!

How strong must Lin Chen be to make Meng Ke, who had a combat strength comparable to a Golden Immortal, lose so completely?

Now, after a year of arduous cultivation in the spirit vein, Lin Chen’s strength had advanced to the mid-stage of a True Immortal. Yet these ignorant people dared to challenge and humiliate him.

Meng Shuyu knew Meng Ziyuan’s hostility towards Lin Chen was more about her than the Immortal Palace.

After all, wasn’t Lin Chen brought in by her?

Even though she was unsure of the exact reasons, wasn’t humiliating Lin Chen equivalent to humiliating her?

Meng Shuyu took a deep breath and whispered, "Special Envoy Lin, their attitudes don’t represent the Azure Dragon Clan. We have no intention of being enemies with the Immortal Palace."

Lin Chen, smiling, gave Meng Shuyu a profound look.

This woman presumably had some inkling of what might be about to happen; hence her hurry to assert her position in advance.

"I understand. At this moment, I don’t represent the Immortal Palace. I just want to teach them a lesson on my own behalf."
