Chapter 1904: Chapter 1924: Is This Reason Reasonable and Justifiable?_1

"We’re nearing the Heavenly Fox Palace. The fact that we haven’t caught up with anyone at this speed suggests that we’ve gone off course!"

Xuanyuan Feiying stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a frown creasing his forehead.

After confirming that Lin Chen had come to the Heavenly Demon Continent, an ominous shadow had settled over his heart.

This kid was really strange!

After all, he was just a newly ascended Golden Immortal. Xuanyuan Feiying hadn’t cared at all before, but after dealing with him twice, he realized how much of a nuisance this kid was.

He was like a thorn stuck in flesh — not fatal, but incredibly annoying.

His pursuit of Lin Chen was driven by the desire to eradicate him while he was stranded and helpless on the Heavenly Demon Continent, and simultaneously uncover Yao Xiong’s motives for sending him here.

Regrettably, they hadn’t caught up.

Xuanyuan Feiying turned to a companion and asked, "Chen Xueshi, are you sure they’re heading to the Heavenly Fox Palace?"

Chen Lingtian replied with a bitter smile, "They asked the guards about the location of the Heavenly Fox Palace, claiming to be on official business under the Domain Lord’s orders. However, we can’t be sure if they headed to the Heavenly Fox Palace immediately."

Left Envoy Yang Mengqi chimed in, "We’ve been rushing all the way, never stopping. They couldn’t possibly move faster than us. They must be behind us."

"They’re a man and a woman, right? Perhaps they’re lovers, wandering aimlessly and taking regular breaks on their journey. But that’s not important. As long as we confirm that they’re coming, we can lie in wait here."

"Regardless of the path they take, they will eventually reach the Heavenly Fox Palace. He’s just a Golden Immortal. We can easily ambush and kill him here, without alerting the Heavenly Fox Palace."

Xuanyuan Feiying nodded, "Okay, we’ll wait for him here. Left Envoy, Right Envoy, each of you take one direction. The rest of you, form groups of three or four, and lay ambushes along all possible routes. We absolutely cannot let him slip by. If you see him, don’t hesitate to strike immediately!"

"Kill first, talk later!"

"Yes!"

...

"We should be close to the Heavenly Fox Palace now."

"Yes, we should be there soon. Are you still planning to visit in the guise of an Immortal Palace Envoy?"

Lin Chen chuckled, "Why not? Even if there’s no trouble, why can’t we stir some up?"

"The Heavenly Dao Alliance has a Blood Envoy presiding over each mainland branch, covertly recruiting powerhouses, organizing sects, and expanding their strength. It’s no exception for the Heavenly Demon Continent."

"The Immortal Palace and Heavenly Dao Alliance are already at odds like this, with the Immortal Palace hunting down the Alliance everywhere. As an Immortal Palace Special Envoy, I’m here to warn the Great Demons of the Heavenly Demon Continent not to collude with the Heavenly Dao Alliance or oppose the Immortal Palace."

"Doesn’t that sound like a convincing reason for a visit?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord chuckled under her breath, "It’s very much so. It’s unassailable!"

Lin Chen laughed, "It’s not about flaunting our identity. Given that the Heavenly Demon Continent highly respects the Demons, we need some form of status. Otherwise, who knows how those Great Demons would treat us? By the way, do you have connections with the Palace Master of the Heavenly Fox Palace?"

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord responded, "We’ve interacted once. I helped her with something, and she gave me a token in return. I never intended to deal with her again, so I gave that token to your friend. So it’s not really a connection."

Lin Chen nodded, about to say something, when Purple Cloud Immortal Lord suddenly shouted, "Be careful!"

At the same time, a sudden surge of spiritual Qi filled the air, and an immense hand descended from the clouds, reaching out to grab the two of them.

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord released the Golden Dragon Scissors, casting an art spell. The scissors soared into the air, transforming into two golden dragons which lunged at the gigantic hand.

The huge hand was instantly split in two, but the attack did not stop. Countless petals floated mid-air, instantly trapping both Lin Chen and Purple Cloud Immortal Lord.

Each petal radiated a terrifying aura. They were somehow connected, as if invisible threads strung all the petals together, each transformed into blades sealing the space.

The petals contracted instantly, each one like a sharp blade, slicing towards the two figures at the center.

Lin Chen took hold of Purple Cloud Immortal Lord’s hand, stepped out, and vanished in an instant.

Countless petals intersected, stabbing into the afterimage they had left behind, tearing it apart.

"Want to escape? Not so easy!"

The sky darkened as someone chuckled coldly.

Lin Chen looked up to see a large black flag screening off the sky, shrouding all around, completely blocking the light. The space quickly turned dark. In the blink of an eye, Lin Chen felt as though he were lost in the dead of night, unable to see any light.

Lin Chen once again stepped forward. His figure appeared at the edge of the area surrounded by the flag, but was unable to cross this space region. It became obvious that this flag could seal the space.

Lin Chen’s heart sank. The attackers were the cream of the crop among the strong.

Who were these people?

Why did they suddenly attack him?

Could it be robber cultivators?

They were already near the Heavenly Fox Palace. Weren’t these robber cultivators being a little too bold?
