Chapter 2571: Chapter 2591: Every Snake Bites, None of It is Easy!

"Which one to choose?"

Shang Wenyin’s main purpose for this trip was to accompany him, regardless of which task Lin Chen selected, they would work hard together to complete it.

Having overheard the staff present the tasks to everyone, Lin Chen had roughly figured out the high difficulty and high rewards of these tasks.

"Wanlong City and the City of Nether Fire are archenemies. He Shuiyang is a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal, killing him won’t be easy. Although the bounty for this task is the highest, who would take it? Basically, it’s just hanging there to annoy people, and it’s possible that Wanlong City might have a bounty for Gu Qinghai as well."

Yue Chengtian chuckled, "Mutually annoying each other, huh?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Once one’s power reaches their level, unless one possesses some special magical treasure or the overwhelming strength of a quasi-saint, who would have the confidence to kill a peak Great Luo Celestial Immortal?"

At this, Lin Chen and Shang Wenyin subconsciously exchanged glances, both thinking of the battle between True Person Tai Xu and the Sea God, where the Sea God, possessing the Sea God’s Seal, was no match for the quasi-saint strength of True Person Tai Xu. This highlighted how vast the chasm was between a peak Great Luo Celestial Immortal and a quasi-saint.

The difference in realm was minuscule, but the disparity in strength was like that between clouds and mud.

"Ice and Snow City’s special product, the Snow Spirit Ice Crystal, is said to come into being only once every thousand years, indicating its scarcity. Ice and Snow City, one of the Twelve Immortal Gates of Myriad Immortal Palace, is filled with powerhouses. Obtaining the Snow Spirit Ice Crystal from their hands is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"The Yan Dragon of the Hongfeng Mountain Range, a Dragon Clan mutant contaminated by demonic qi, reportedly has the strength of a Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal on its own. Its demonic qi greatly reduces its opponents combat power, so although its own power falls short of the peak, its combat prowess does not."

Lin Chen bitterly smiled and said, "Every snake bites, none of them are easy."

Shang Wenyin laughed lightly and said, "If the task were easy to complete, it wouldn’t be held in such high esteem, and nobody would care about it."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Cutting off the Dark Ancestral Dragon’s fetters is not urgent. Besides, although one billion Spirit Stones is a lot, as long as there is enough time, even if I earn money slowly by refining pills, I could amass one billion Spirit Stones. So let’s not consider dangerous tasks like assassinating city lords or slaying Yan Dragons. Safety first."

Shang Wenyin’s eyes curved slightly as she asked, "So you’re choosing to collect the Snow Spirit Ice Crystals?"

Lin Chen patted Yue Chengtian’s shoulder next to him and said with a laugh, "I inquired around; Snow Wind City is not far from Ice and Snow City, and Snow Wind City is directly under Ice and Snow City. Let’s just go sightseeing, drop off Yue Chengtian on the way home. I hear the scenery in The Extreme West is really beautiful, perfect for a visit."

Shang Wenyin pursed her lips and replied, "Okay!"

Yue Chengtian was overjoyed, "Brother, are you going to send me there specially?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Well, it’s on the way to Ice and Snow City to find the Snow Spirit Ice Crystals."

Yue Chengtian was very happy, "Brother, once I find mother, I’ll figure out a way to help you inquire about the Snow Spirit Ice Crystals. My mother is in Snow Wind City; she must know a lot about it."

Lin Chen extended his hand and slung it over Yue Chengtian’s shoulder, saying with a big smile, "Alright, then I’m counting on you when the time comes."

Since the Snow Spirit Ice Crystals were part of a collection task that could be repeatedly submitted, Lin Chen did not report it; the three of them directly left the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City of Nether Fire was a grand city, thriving with an assembly of various cultivators, bustling and extraordinary.

Lin Chen spent some Spirit Stones and finally managed to buy a map of Western Hell.

The map was not detailed, featuring only those powerful cities or places with special landmarks such as mountain ranges, lakes, etc.

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the western side of the map and immediately found Ice and Snow City, being one of the Twelve Immortal Sects of Myriad Immortal Hall. It was clearly marked on the map quite prominently.

Apart from Ice and Snow City, there were Molong City and Fenglei City, which also belonged to the Twelve Immortal Gates. Ice and Snow City was situated in The Extreme West, Molong City laid in the central area of Western Hell, relatively close to the City of Nether Fire, while Fenglei City was in the South, with a great distance separating the three cities.

Lin Chen’s eyesight roamed over the map, quickly settling on a particular spot.

Black Soul City, noted on the back, the headquarters of the Soul Association.

Black Soul City was to the west of the City of Nether Fire, quite a distance away, but it could barely be considered on the way if they were headed to Ice and Snow City.

"This journey is filled with constant troubles. Why don’t we simply take a ship? If we hide in a cabin, surely no one will give us trouble."

"That works too!"

After a brief discussion, the three headed towards the pier of the City of Nether Fire, where over a hundred huge flying boats were moored.

The three checked the routes and found a boat heading to Black Soul City, so they bought three tickets.

To avoid drawing attention, Lin Chen did not purchase the most luxurious suite on the top deck but opted for a small cabin in the middle level. With at least two hundred small cabins on this giant boat, Lin Chen and the others disguised themselves, mixed in with everyone else, and were inconspicuous.

The flying boat set sail, stopping at cities along the way much like bus stops, with people disembarking and others boarding.

In order to avoid trouble, Lin Chen didn’t even leave his cabin, just sat cross-legged in meditation, contemplating his cultivation technique.

After an unknowable amount of time, the swiftly advancing flying boat suddenly screeched to a halt, jolting Lin Chen from his focused state. At the same time, a sound like thunder boomed in Lin Chen’s ears.

"Molong City is pursuing a criminal. Everyone leave your rooms and stand at the entrance. Do not move or run about, or else, there will be no mercy in executing you!"
