Chapter 1846: Chapter 1866: Grand Appearance at the Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest_1

"The Dragon Clan has teamed up with the Heavenly Dao Alliance?"

A deep concern emerged in Yao Xuanji’s eyes, after all, the Dragon Clan was extremely powerful and were in considerable number. If they collaborated with the Heavenly Dao Alliance, it would greatly strengthen the latter’s power.

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Don’t worry, the Dragon Clan has terminated their cooperation with the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

Yao Xuanji looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "You did this?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "We’ve been on the run and didn’t even have a chance to drink tea. You invite me to tea and I’ll tell you my story."

Yao Xuanji couldn’t help but smile: "Alright, I’ll brew the tea myself."

Yao Xuanji walked up and gently leaned into Lin Chen’s arms: "You must have been through a lot. Even without hearing it, I can tell there must have been great danger."

Lin Chen held Yao Xuanji and said with a smirk, "There were indeed some surprises, but everything turned out pretty well in the end. I have now reached the Late True Immortal stage."

Yao Xuanji lifted her head in surprise while nestled in Lin Chen’s arms: "You were merely at the Early True Immortal stage when you left. In such a short time, you’ve advanced by two minor realms?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "A blessing in disguise, and I also have some good stuff that should have no problem raising me to the True Immortal Peak."

Yao Xuanji’s eyes shone bright, and her gaze was filled with undisguised admiration: "You’re really formidable. When I first met you, you were barely at Nascent Soul stage. And now in such a short time, you’ve reached the Late True Immortal stage. In a little while, you might even surpass me."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "The enemies are always too powerful. If I don’t try harder, they’ll easily crush me. There’s really no other option."

After a moment of intimacy, Yao Xuanji took Lin Chen’s hand and they sat down next to each other. Then, she took out a tea-set and gently made tea for Lin Chen.

Soon, the tea was ready. While sipping the tea with both hands around the teacup, Lin Chen narrated his journey.

Frightened to the core, Yao Xuanji listened to his story. Despite Lin Chen’s safe arrival, she still felt a lingering fear.

If Lin Chen hadn’t encountered the slave who had fled from the Soul Separation Sect, and learned about the flaws in their Array Formation, he wouldn’t have been able to escape and would have been killed underground.

If Lin Chen hadn’t coincidentally possessed the Dragon Chant Sword, he and the Dark Ancestral Dragon might have gone to their demise together, from which even he wouldn’t have escaped unscathed.

Although Lin Chen reaped plentiful rewards, with his strength increasing and the Dragon Chant Sword sealing the Dark Ancestral Dragon subsequently making his power surge, Yao Xuanji only felt lingering fears and worries.

It was too risky.

"It’s a shame we didn’t discover the Heavenly Dao Alliance’s lair. Otherwise, if we did another surprise attack, we could effectively quell their rampant arrogance."

Yao Xuanji shook her head: "These things aren’t important. The fact that you’ve returned safely is all that matters. It won’t be long before they reveal themselves."

Lin Chen raised his head abruptly: "What do you mean?"

Yao Xuanji responded: "According to the information we’ve gathered, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will participate in the upcoming Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest. They will publicly reveal themselves during this big event, no longer hiding and righteously challenge the Immortal Palace."

Lin Chen widened his eyes: "Won’t this Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest be fraught with danger then?"

Yao Xuanji nodded: "The Heavenly Dao Alliance has undoubtedly prepared for this. A major battle is likely to take place, as they need to demonstrate their power to draw people towards them. Otherwise, who would dare to join them?"

Worried, Lin Chen asked: "What are you planning to do?"

Yao Xuanji calmly replied, "The Immortal Palace has no escape."

Upon reflection, Lin Chen agreed. It wasn’t fearful to have someone rebel, nor was it if you couldn’t eradicate the opponent instantly. What was fearful was if you didn’t even have the courage or ability to stand up, then who would believe in you?

Lin Chen nodded: "In that case, we should gather more Heavenly immortals. Even if we can’t wipe out the Heavenly Dao Alliance all at once, at least we should ensure we’re not defeated by them. Otherwise, we could truly lose the people’s heart."

Yao Xuanji nodded, "Grandpa Cao is already working on this. This big event is very dangerous, you..."

Lin Chen cut off Yao Xuanji’s words, laughing: "You wouldn’t be trying to tell me not to go, would you?"

Yao Xuanji sighed softly: "I know you probably won’t listen to me, but I really don’t want you to go. If a fight really breaks out, it’ll be a chaotic struggle between the Heavenly immortals. You’re only at the True Immortal realm, a moment of distraction and your life could be lost..."

Lin Chen reassured: "Setting other things aside, do you still not understand my ability to escape? Don’t worry, I won’t risk myself unnecessarily. If things really take a turn for the worse, I’ll just grab you and flee."

"Besides, I already made an appointment with several people to meet at the Tianxuan Martial Arts Competition. You can’t expect me to cancel on them."

Yao Xuanji looked helpless: "Alright then, remember what you said yourself. Don’t act recklessly and run if things turn south."

Lin Chen chuckled: "My life is at stake, of course... How much longer before we set off?"

"Around two months."

Making a mental calculation, Lin Chen mused: "Including a month’s journey, that’s three months in total. Hmmm, that’s just enough time. I need to accelerate my cultivation now. While we still have time, I have to raise my strength to True Immortal Peak. The stronger I am, the faster I can run."

Yao Xuanji nodded: "Concentrate on your cultivation during this time, don’t concern yourself with anything else. Tell me anything you need, I will help you prepare..."
