Chapter 1812: Chapter 1832: Put Yourself in My Shoes, Can You Endure It? _1

In the big tent, the Azure Dragon King sat in the wide chair at the center, scrutinizing Lin Chen.

The Azure Dragon King had shoulder-length white hair, a squared face, and long narrow eyes, deeply profound like a secluded pond, seemingly possessing the power to see through one’s heart.

Lin Chen bowed in salute, "Immortal Palace Special Envoy Lin Chen, greets the clan chief!"

The Azure Dragon King stood up with a warm smile, extending his hand, "Envoy Lin, the Dragon Clan welcomes your arrival, please have a seat!"

After exchanging a few courtesies, the two sat down in their respective positions. The Azure Dragon King asked: "What brings Special Envoy Lin to our Dragon Clan?"

Lin Chen got straight to the point, "I wish to discuss with the clan chief about the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

The Azure Dragon King nodded candidly, "Indeed, we have had trade dealings with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but it is limited only to trade relations, we have not formed an alliance."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "If the Dragon Clan and the Heavenly Dao Alliance had formed an alliance, I would not dare to come here alone."

The Azure Dragon King laughed, "It’s good that you understand, Envoy Lin."

Lin Chen smiled, "I need information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

The Azure Dragon King smiled, "Even though we and the Heavenly Dao Alliance are not allies, we do have a cooperative relationship. If we give their information to the Immortal Palace, wouldn’t that be betraying a trading partner?"

Lin Chen responded, "The clan chief should be very clear about the use of those captives the Heavenly Dao Alliance trades with the Dragon Clan. For the Immortal Palace, you are also helping the enemy, aren’t you?"

The Azure Dragon King ceased his laughter, and said solemnly, "So now, whenever our Dragon Clan trades with someone, do we need to report it to your Immortal Palace?"

As he withdrew his breath, a tremendous Dragon Might emanated from him, provoking an instinctive impulse to kneel in submission immediately.

Lively Sword Intent rose from Lin Chen, confronting the terrifying Dragon Might.

"The Dragon Clan has always been indifferent to worldly affairs and not subject to the rule of the Immortal Palace. The Immortal Palace also tolerates that, but that’s based on the premise that the Dragon Clan doesn’t harm the Palace. Now, the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Immortal Palace are mortal enemies. You are still trading with the Alliance, providing them with a large number of captive warriors, who can be turned into slave army to fight the Palace. Don’t you think such an act can hardly be regarded as neutral?"

The Azure Dragon King said coldly, "What if I refuse to give the information about the Heavenly Dao Alliance and insist on continuing the trade?"

Lin Chen shrugged, "Then I will leave immediately and never come back. And the clan chief, you should pray devoutly and hope that the final victor is the Heavenly Dao Alliance; otherwise, the day when the Alliance is completely eradicated might well be the day when the army of the Immortal Palace besieges Dragon Clan City!"

The blue light in the eyes of the Azure Dragon King sprung forth like sharp blades, terrifyingly oppressive, "Are you threatening me?"

Lin Chen answered calmly, "I’m simply stating a fact. Suppose you are in a life-or-death duel with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the Immortal Palace secretly supports the Alliance behind your back, wouldn’t you settle accounts with the Immortal Palace when you eventually defeat the Alliance?"

The Azure Dragon King frowned; he could not retort Lin Chen’s words.

Indeed, if he were in the same situation, he would surely make the same choice.

How could such a thing be tolerated?

Even if endured, it still would lead to a settling of accounts eventually!

The Azure Dragon King remained silent for a few seconds: "But the Heavenly Dao Alliance has something that can help the Dragon Clan to prosper..."

Lin Chen’s tone remained calm, "Principle is principle, strength is strength. If the clan chief thinks that the Dragon Clan has the strength to fully confront the Immortal Palace, then you are free to dismiss my words as nonsense and continue as you please."

Does the Dragon Clan possess the strength to confront the Immortal Palace?

Perhaps, but they certainly have no chance of winning!

The Immortal Palace dominates seven continents and all must comply. The Dragon Clan only occupies one-third of the Dragon Spirit Continent. In terms of quantity and strength, they are evidently incomparable to the Immortal Palace.

The human cultivators, who occupy two-thirds of the Dragon Spirit Continent, have been fighting back and forth with the Dragon Clan for tens of thousands of years. If the Immortal Palace were to intervene, how long could the Dragon Clan resist?

This is why Lin Chen stood there confidently.

There was anger in the eyes of the Azure Dragon King, but he didn’t lash out.

He could kill this kid on the spot. But then what?

Cut ties with the Immortal Palace?

Join the war between the Immortal Palace and the Heavenly Dao Alliance?

Gazing at the silent Azure Dragon King, Lin Chen continued calmly, "To my understanding, there are significant conflicts among the various branches of the Dragon Clan. Each goes its own way with no one to check on others. Which means it’s the Azure Dragon Clan’s intention to cooperate with the Heavenly Dao Alliance. But do the other clans agree? If this arouses bigger trouble, how would they view the Azure Dragon Clan then?"

The Azure Dragon King said coldly, "Can you represent the stance of the Immortal Palace?"

Lin Chen calmly pulled out the Immortal Palace Order, injected spiritual power into it, and a picture of Yao Xuanji sitting supremely in the main hall immediately appeared in midair.

The Azure Dragon King was slightly surprised, "Your Immortal Palace Order seems to be different from the ones I’ve seen before?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Others’ Orders are mass-produced, mine was personally made and authorized by the Domain Lord. Other envoys may not have the power to make important decisions, but I do."

The Azure Dragon King frowned, his eyes filled with gravity, "Why can you, while others cannot?"
