Chapter 1900: Chapter 1920: Does This Kid Belong To The Dog?_1

The head guard swept his gaze over this crowd, slightly puzzled.

"Boss Zhou, your people seem unfamiliar."

The middle-aged man whispered: "This batch of goods has some special items that were requested by higher-ups. I have gone through great lengths to find them. I’m concerned about safety on the road, so I gathered more experts for escort. After all, if anything happens to these items, I will be in deep troubles."

The guard leader suddenly realized and laughed, nodding his head: "Boss Zhou, your business is getting bigger and bigger."

The middle-aged man laughed: "All thanks to the captain!"

Meanwhile, the other demon cultivators were preparing to interrogate these human clan members who looked to be of complicated background and difficult to deal with, the guard leader waved his hand: "They are part of the Wan Yao Merchant Group, let them through."

The guards let Xuanyuan Feiying and his group through at these words. The middle-aged man stepped forward, waving his hand: "Is everyone here?"

Xuanyuan Feiying nodded: "Everyone is here."

Waving his hand at everyone, the middle-aged man said: "Stick close to me, don’t fall behind."

The middle-aged man led the crowd away from the square and directly to the outskirts of the city, where a giant ship had already been waiting.

The crowd boarded the flying boat. The middle-aged man paid his respects to Xuanyuan Feiying: "Greetings from Blood Envoy Chen Lingtian!"

Xuanyuan Feiying waved his hand: "There’s no need for formalities, let’s go inside and talk."

Everyone entered the spacious guest hall, and Xuanyuan Feiying took the main seat.

Chen Lingtian’s gaze swept over the crowd, feeling a bit puzzled. He had received a sudden order from the Alliance Leader that he would be bringing a group of people to the Heavenly Demon Continent. He had been instructed to prepare for their reception and protection to prevent their identities from being exposed.

Why was the Alliance Leader suddenly visiting the Heavenly Demon Continent, a place where he usually leaves in Chen Lingtian’s charge without interfering much?

Was it for a business inspection?

He himself would not need to make the trip for a simple business inspection. Moreover, it would not require so many high ranks from the alliance.

With caution, Chen Lingtian asked: "Alliance Leader, the reason for this visit... may I ask its purpose?"

"To take refuge."

Xuanyuan Feiying did not conceal anything and answered candidly, "We started a war with the Immortal Palace during the Tianxuan Martial Arts Contest. We were originally set to win, but who knew that Yao Xiong would suddenly return and rallied all the neutral sects that were watching the show to participate, leading to our defeat. Many of our people were also captured by them."

"Now Yao Xiong is personally preparing to chase and kill us. Hiding in the Heavenly Mystery Continent is not safe, so we have come to the Heavenly Demon Continent temporarily to lay low. I have already relayed a message to the sect, asking them to send assistance. Until help arrives, we will be staying here."

"The Heavenly Demon Continent is under the control of the demon race, and the Immortal Palace has no foundation here. Furthermore, no one on this continent harbors feelings towards the Immortal Palace, so we are safe here."

Xuanyuan Feiying scanned the many silent senior members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance and solemnly said: "When reinforcements from our sect arrive, we can go back, destroy Yao Xiong and the Immortal Palace in broad daylight, and rescue our captured members."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lingtian felt numb.

Yao Xiong is back?

The Heavenly Dao Alliance was defeated?

A lot of people have been captured?

Chen Lingtian suddenly recalled the young man and woman he had seen before. His gaze shifted, and he saluted: "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, I spotted a young man and woman earlier while waiting for your arrival. They were holding the Immortal Palace Order and claimed to be envoys from the Immortal Palace. They wanted to go to the Heavenly Fox Palace on official business..."

The originally silent room suddenly became alert and everyone’s eyes fell on Chen Lingtian.

Xuanyuan Feiying’s brows also furrowed: "Do you know what the two went to the Heavenly Fox Palace for?"

Chen Lingtian shook his head: "I didn’t ask. They just disclosed their identities, and the guards let them go. They didn’t ask for an escort either. They left on their own."

Weijiao, who was dressed in a green robe and not her usual red one today, asked: "What did the young man and woman look like? What were their names?"

Chen Lingtian shook his head: "I was too far away before, I couldn’t hear their conversation clearly. I don’t know their names. Both of them seemed young, the man appeared to be in his thirties and the woman even younger, looking about 26 or 27 years old. They behaved affectionately, appearing like a couple..."

Weijiao’s eyes flickered: "Could the man in his thirties be Lin Chen, and the woman about 26 or 27 years old be Yao Xuanji?"

Someone conjured images of Lin Chen and Yao Xuanji in midair with their magic power: "Are these them?"

Pointing at Lin Chen, Chen Lingtian said: "The man is him, the woman is very pretty too, but it’s not her."

Everyone’s eyes suddenly shifted.

"That kid Lin Chen, he really came to the Heavenly Demon Continent!"

"Is he sniffing around, could he be aware that we’re here? "

"Yao Xiong is letting him go to the Heavenly Fox Palace. It must be to discuss how to target our Heavenly Dao Alliance, right?"

"Even if it’s not for us, it’s certainly for the Heavenly Fox Palace branch and for Chen here, he is preparing to advance on the whole Dazuo Continent at the same time, aiming to completely wipe out our Heavenly Dao Alliance’s influence!"

"This is outrageous, since he is here, let’s just kill him directly!"

"Yes, assassinate him. Once they’re dead, without the Immortal Palace Special Envoy, won’t we be safe? At least in the short term, we’ll be safe."

Xuanyuan Feiying stared at Chen Lingtian, asking gravely: "How long ago did they leave? Which direction did they go?"
