Chapter 2581: Chapter 2601: Want to kill me? Then make your move!

The token from Molong City that Lin Chen held was naturally one of the spoils of war from a previous battle, and it belonged to a Molong City powerhouse, with an unknown identity.

The term ’secret messenger’ could cover all identities, and would definitely not give any clue away.

Lin Chen had even considered impersonating a secret messenger from the Myriad Immortal Hall, which would have been even more prestigious, and would have made it easier to meet Qiu Wushuang, but then he thought that before meeting the City Lord, someone might verify his identity, and since he couldn’t even produce a token from a Myriad Immortal Hall disciple, wouldn’t that give him away?

The Twelve Immortal Sects, with their formidable power, regarded their Sect Masters as Immortal Kings, and who could meet them just by wishing to do so?

Under normal circumstances, sect affairs were handled by various people in charge, and only extremely important matters would be escalated step by step to the Sect Master’s hands. To meet the Sect Master directly, one either needed to have a special status or the matter had to be of utmost importance.

The gatekeeper disciple’s arrogant attitude immediately withdrew somewhat, after all, Molong City was also one of the Twelve Immortal Sects, no weaker than the Ice and Snow City.

A secret messenger from Molong City, how could they, these guards, compare?

After confirming the Molong City token was genuine, the guard swiftly went to report, and soon a middle-aged man hurried over.

"Fellow cultivator from Molong City, greetings, I am Zhao Xiang, the manager of the Outer Sect of Ice and Snow City. May I ask what brings Your Excellency here this time?"

Lin Chen glanced coldly at Zhao Xiang and said calmly, "A secret order from the City Lord, needing to be handed over to Lord Qiu in person."

Zhao Xiang paused, his expression troubled, "The City Lord is in Closed Door Cultivation, and many affairs within the city are supervised by different people..."

Lin Chen slowly shook his head, "The City Lord has ordered, this secret order can only be seen by Lord Qiu, no one else can see it."

Zhao Xiang frowned, "But before going into cultivation, the City Lord instructed us not to be disturbed..."

Lin Chen looked coldly at Zhao Xiang, "The City Lord said, this matter concerns the life and death of Ice and Snow City. Manager Zhao, if you can confirm that Lord Qiu won’t meet with me, then I don’t need to enter."

Zhao Xiang’s face changed slightly, matters concerning the life and death of Ice and Snow City?

This was not a decision that he, a mere Outer Sect manager, could make. If his obstruction caused the information not to be delivered in time, and ultimately led to disaster, he could not bear the consequences.

"Fellow cultivator, please come inside. I will report to the authorities on your behalf right away."

If this was a burden he couldn’t shoulder, then he had to find someone higher up the ladder.

Lin Chen nodded silently and followed Zhao Xiang into Ice and Snow City, and soon he was led into a luxurious hall.

The handmaid presented the special Snow Lotus Tea of Ice and Snow City, with Zhao Xiang accompanying on the side. Soon, Yuan Qiuhong, the Deputy City Lord of Ice and Snow City, appeared in the hall.

After the introduction, Yuan Qiuhong asked, "During the City Lord’s cultivation period, I am acting on behalf of all Ice and Snow City affairs. Can this secret order be given to me instead?"

As the Deputy City Lord, Yuan Qiuhong was also one of the top leaders, one of the powerful figures in the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, but Lin Chen did not give any face, firmly shaking his head, "The secret order can only be given to Lord Qiu!"

Yuan Qiuhong’s forehead furrowed, and Lin Chen’s blunt words made her feel quite disrespected, yet there was nothing she could do.

"Then please wait a moment, secret messenger. I will personally go and request the Sect Master."

The secret messenger represented the City Lord of Molong City, and the Deputy City Lord Yuan Qiuhong had no choice but to be polite.

Lin Chenxin breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he should be able to meet Qiu Wushuang now.

It was just that he did not know what was written in Master Zhen’s Jade Slip; the danger she mentioned was probably not about meeting Qiu Wushuang, but rather Qiu Wushuang’s reaction after reading the Jade Slip.

It wasn’t long before a beautiful woman in court attire entered the hall, with Yuan Qiuhong following behind her, clearly, this woman in court attire was Qiu Wushuang, the City Lord of Ice and Snow City.

Qiu Wushuang sat down in the City Lord’s seat and looked Lin Chen up and down, "Aren’t you from Western Hell?"

Lin Chen nodded calmly, "I am, Lord Qiu?"

Qiu Wushuang was tall and voluptuous, with an oval-shaped face and Danfeng eyes that exuded sharpness and dominance. Just by sitting down simply, the aura of being high and mighty came at one forcefully, giving the impression that "such a person should naturally be above others."

Qiu Wushuang asked, "Where’s the secret order?"

Lin Chen didn’t waste words and straight away took out the Jade Slip. The Jade Slip began to float and flew toward Qiu Wushuang.

Qiu Wushuang let the Jade Slip hover in front of her and swept it with her Divine Sense. Her expression suddenly changed drastically.

From calm to angry, from angry to a deathly pale, as her emotions fluctuated, so did the overwhelming aura that rose with them.

Qiu Wushuang’s eyes were icy as she glared at Lin Chen, "You’ve got some nerve!"

Lin Chen remained calm and smiled slightly as he stood up, "I’ve always been quite bold. Lord Qiu, now that the message has been delivered, I’ll take my leave."

Qiu Wushuang said coldly, "Now that you’ve come, you think you can just leave? Do you think this is some kind of inn?"

Seeing this, Lin Chen sat down again, "Since the City Lord won’t let me go, then I shall sit a little longer. The tea from Ice and Snow City is quite nice, how about another cup?"

Qiu Wushuang’s eyes were filled with a lethal intent, "You’ve got a lot of nerve, do you think I wouldn’t dare kill you?"

Lin Chen picked up the tea and took a satisfying sip, chuckling, "I’m just a little messenger, you’re the esteemed City Lord of Ice and Snow City, what wouldn’t you dare to do, feel free to take action if you want to kill me!"
