Chapter 2258: Chapter 2278: This is Being Pinched!_1

Lin Chen was greatly surprised, "What’s this for?"

Giving myself a Sword Talisman, to Suppress myself?

Though startled, Lin Chen remained calm and motionless, letting the Sword Talisman fall towards him.

With the Strength of such big shots, to deal with me would be a piece of cake, no need for any sneaky tactics or surprise attacks. Moreover, although Lin Chen could not fully understand the specific function of the Sword Talisman, he could vaguely sense that it was not meant for Attack.

The Sword Talisman was quite large in midair, but it kept shrinking as it descended, finally touching the back of Lin Chen’s right hand and turning into a mark the size of a seal, leaving a stamp on his skin.

"I have employed various skills in crafting this Sword Talisman, which you can study when you have time. Once you fully Comprehend it, a single Attack stored within it will be my gift to you, and it will come in handy unless you’re up against a Daluo Initial Immortal."

Really? So good?

To directly give myself a Sword Talisman for copy and study, and within it, a stored killing move, ready to use once I’ve fully comprehended it?

Isn’t this another ace up my sleeve for self-defense?

Lin Chen bowed in respect, "Thank you, Senior, may I ask for your esteemed name?"

The Young Man answered, "Shepherd Heavenly Monarch."

Shepherd Heaven?

What a domineering name!

Lin Chen thanked again, "Thank you for the guidance, Senior. May I know in which Immortal Domain does Senior reside? If fate permits, I wish to express my gratitude in person."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch answered, "The Crimson Immortal Domain. If you come, look for me in Eternal City."

Lin Chen asked, "Senior, how should we deal with your sword? it has already attracted the attention of Immortals from the outside world..."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch laughed, "Chi Zai, would you return my sword to me? Any problems with that?"

Lin Chen’s face immediately showed a subtle expression, "You’ve used this sword to Suppress Chi Zai for who knows how many years, and now you’re asking him to return your sword to you? That’s quite like stabbing at the heart."

Chi Zai was indeed angered, "Why should I return it to you? To let you Suppress me again?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch replied, "If I wanted to Suppress you, I would not have released you, and it would only take a single Sword Talisman to Suppress you till the stars fade and time ends!"

Chi Zai shouted in rage, "I won’t send it. If you’re so capable, just kill me!"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch sighed, "Alright, Recently there’s been a lot of activity from the demon race by the walls of Eternal City. I went there myself and discovered a Flowing Lustrous Gold Vein. I have refined it and brought it back. I had intended to give it to you if you came over..."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch hadn’t finished speaking when Chi Zai’s tone suddenly changed, "I’ll bring the sword over, right? A trifle matter, I’ll be there soon!"

Lin Chen stared wide-eyed, his expression odd.

You are, after all, a Starry Sky Demon Beast; just a moment ago you were so adamantly proud, and now in the blink of an eye you’ve buckled?

How is that vein so incredibly alluring to you?

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch seemed to have anticipated this outcome and smiled slightly, "If you don’t want to do it, I won’t force you."

"No, no coercion!"

Without hesitation, Chi Zai replied, "Although I harbor resentment for being Suppressed by you, I still have great admiration for your Strength, so a small matter like delivering the sword, I’ll definitely handle it well."

Watching Chi Zai’s spineless behavior, Lin Chen secretly laughed to himself, it seemed that Shepherd Heavenly Monarch had Chi Zai firmly in his grasp.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, having chosen to Suppress instead of killing Chi Zai outright in the past, was now asking him to return the sword and using that vein to entice him, foreshadowing that Chi Zai, once back by Shepherd Heavenly Monarch’s side, might find it not so easy to leave again.

Was Shepherd Heavenly Monarch trying to wear down Chi Zai’s ferocity, train him, and eventually take him for his own use?

These were merely Lin Chen’s conjectures; as for these matters, he had no say, and after all, as a Starry Sky Demon Beast, Chi Zai was not a mere ferocious beast lacking wisdom and only knowing slaughter; he surely understood all this.

After getting a handle on Chi Zai, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch turned around, raised his finger, and pointed at the Giant Sword. The sword suddenly twinkled with radiance, and then shrunk rapidly. In a very short time, the tens-of-thousands-of-meters-long Giant Sword had reduced to the size of an ordinary long sword, quietly floating in the water.

Lin Chen was deeply impressed. Such a Giant Sword, actually able to shrink to such a small size!

Impressive!

This casting Technique must have incorporated Space Supernatural abilities; otherwise, it would not be possible to achieve such an effect.

At the same time, there was a huge commotion from the underground. Chi Zai’s massive body twisted and turned beneath the ground, and with such a simple movement, it felt as if the heavens were collapsing, forcing Lin Chen to fly upwards for a while.

Soon after, Chi Zai turned over and got up from underwater. Due to the presence of Demonic Qi, Lin Chen could not sense the full extent of his body.

The surprises continued as Chi Zai’s body also began to reduce drastically in size. Meanwhile, he extended his head towards the now minimized sword and swallowed it directly into his
