Chapter 1863: Chapter 1883: Giving you a choice, let’s see what you choose! _1

The future of the sect is determined by five of the most powerful individuals!

Yang Mengqi’s words backed Dugu Potian into a corner, leaving him no choice but to agree because the suggestion was reasonable.

If the five most powerful individuals couldn’t fend off others, it simply meant that the sect’s strength was inferior to others.

In that case, what right did they have to occupy a position among the Ten Great Immortal Sects?

Just as Dugu Potian was about to agree, a sudden shout echoed through the area.

"Wait!"

Everyone turned to look, and the voice came from the Black Cloud Ship.

The Immortal Palace was about to take action!

Everyone immediately grew tense. Was there going to be a huge battle soon?

Lin Chen flew down from the Black Cloud Ship with Cao Hechuan number by his side.

Yang Mengqi looked at the approaching Lin Chen with a somewhat surprised gaze.

Was this the young man they had been discussing earlier?

The one who had given the Blood Envoys a hard time, a fortunate kid they failed to kill despite repeated attempts?

"Lin Chen?"

Lin Chen gave a faint smile: "Yang Left Envoy, I’ve heard of your name for a long time. Seeing you today, you are indeed formidable!"

Yang Mengqi was surprised: "You’ve heard of me?"

Lin Chen smiled and said: "Left and Right Envoys, the Three Kings, Four Ghosts, Five Loose Cultivators and the Ten Great Blood Envoys are all notable figures. Although I have only heard of them, I have had dealings with a few of the Blood Envoys and have a deep impression of them."

Yang Mengqi wasn’t surprised that Lin Chen knew of the upper echelons of Heavenly Dao Alliance. He chuckled: "Special Envoy Lin, I’ve also heard of your outstanding achievements at a young age. However, I don’t know what your objective is in blocking my duel with the North Profound Sect?"

Lin Chen laughed: "It’s not a big issue. I just want to take care of a small matter before your duel."

Yang Mengqi nodded: "Special Envoy Lin may feel free to share."

Under the attention of thousands, Lin Chen appeared calm, not appearing shy: "I just wanted to ask the Heavenly Dao Alliance for a person."

Yang Mengqi nodded: "Who?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Red-clothed Blood Envoy Wei Jiao, you should be quite familiar with her, right?"

Yang Mengqi furrowed his brows: "Why should I give her to you?"

Lin Chen said loudly: "Wei Jiao, originally the daughter of the Chief Guard of the Immortal Palace, was well-acquainted with the current Domain Lord, Yao Xuanji. He treated her as his sister, but in return, she stabbed him in the back. She lured the Domain Lord to the Lower Realm, concealed the Heavenly Secret, killed the Domain Lord, and suppressed him for Ten Thousand Years."

"The Domain Lord should not have been doomed to this fate. He returned to the Immortal Realm because his father, the old Domain Lord Yao Xiong, was absent. He temporarily took over the Immortal Palace on his father’s behalf. During this period, Wei Jiao even led people to ambush the Domain Lord twice. For such behavior done to the Domain Lord and the Immortal Palace, a hundred deaths are not enough to atone for his sins!"

"I don’t know if you knew about this or not. If not, naturally, you should hand Wei Jiao over to keep your Heavenly Dao Alliance reputation. If you knew and deliberately sheltered Wei Jiao, would that mean that you want to be enemies with the Immortal Palace, and fight to the death?"

Yang Mengqi frowned as he looked at Lin Chen, his gaze turning serious.

The Immortal Path certainly values strength and who’s fist is harder, but when neither side can directly annihilate the other, being in the right becomes very important.

Lin Chen did not directly target the Heavenly Dao Alliance but aimed at Wei Jiao. Wei Jiao’s guilt was indeed undeniable.

Lin Chen spoke in front of all cultivators present, detailing Wei Jiao’s vile behavior, thereby occupying the moral high ground and leaving the choice to Yang Mengqi.

Hand Wei Jiao over, who would trust you then?

Everyone relies on you, and you still betray them!

Not handing over?

That means your Heavenly Dao Alliance isn’t reasonable and is a bunch of vile people. Is this kind of person worth following?

Lin Chen hadn’t originally planned to intervene so early, but he hadn’t expected the North Profound Sect to fall so quickly, being driven into a dead end with just a few words.

The Immortal Palace, despite gathering so many powerhouses could not necessarily take down the Heavenly Dao Alliance. If the Heavenly Dao Alliance concentrated its power on the North Profound Sect, wouldn’t that be a sweep?

If they waited till all five battles were over, and if they were all lost, then the might of the North Profound Sect would have already manifested, their aura unleashed. But by then, any words from the Immortal Palace wouldn’t matter, they would have had to resort to action.

Lin Chen intervened before their clashes and put pressure on the Heavenly Dao Alliance with Wei Jiao’s case, effectively sharing the burden with the North Profound Sect.

The North Profound Sect has pledged their diehard loyalty to the Immortal Palace. They couldn’t just watch them lose the competition, losing all their dignity, right?

Even if the matter is nullified afterwards due to the interference of the Immortal Palace, the lost face would be hard to recover.

Yang Mengqi, of course, understood these principles, yet he hesitated for a moment.

He had thought that the Immortal Palace might directly attack when he entered the competition, then everyone would just start the fight. However, he hadn’t expected that Lin Chen wouldn’t target the Heavenly Dao Alliance, but would only target Wei Jiao, leaving Yang Mengqi with the choice.

This was forcing him to choose one out of two, either give up Wei Jiao and lose face, or initiate a war with a low reputation.

Both choices were terrible!

Just as Yang Mengqi was in distress, a clear laughter resounded through the arena. The elegantly handsome Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Dao Alliance appeared in midair with a smile.

"So that’s what’s going on. I was wondering why the Immortal Palace was targeting our Heavenly Dao Alliance when we haven’t really done anything. The matter concerning Wei Jiao has caught us blindsided. Since we know about it now, I will certainly give the Immortal Palace an explanation..."
