Chapter 2619: Chapter 2639: Crimson Immortal Domain, The Battle Is About to Begin

Bai Yunfei had mentioned to Lin Chen before that he wanted to invite him to join the Shenkong Sect, but he didn’t expect that he would bring up the old matter again in front of the Divine Void Sect’s Saint of Thieves.

Lin Chen quickly glanced at Sun Yixiao and noticed he was just smiling and watching without any intention to stop it. Lin Chen thought to himself, could it be that this old man also wants to take me under his wing?

Because of my Avatar Ability?

Or perhaps, he finds me a bit interesting?

Although joining the Shenkong Sect might mean receiving the care or even protection of a Quasi-Saint, Lin Chen still tactfully refused, "Thank you, Brother Bai, for the invitation, but as you know, my departure from my sect was a ruse to prevent bringing trouble upon the Dragon Mountain Sect. In fact, I am still a disciple of the Dragon Mountain Sect; it’s just that I cannot return openly. My master has been very kind to me, how could I join another sect?"

Bai Yunfei was not surprised by the rejection, and laughed, "Alright, I guessed you would refuse, but I still wanted to try. In any case, whenever you want, the gates of the Shenkong Sect will always be open to you."

Lin Chen once again expressed his sincere thanks. After all, he was currently opposing the Myriad Immortal Hall. In such a situation, it was quite good of them to be willing to take him in.

Sun Yixiao took a turn around the entire Qiqiao Hall and finally returned to the White Jade Statue, giving Lin Chen a mysterious smile, "Would you like to have a chat with the Jade Star Lord?"

Surprised, Lin Chen turned his head, "Chat? How would we do that?"

Sun Yixiao, with his hands clasped behind his back, nodded towards the White Jade Statue in front of them, "This White Jade Statue was personally carved by him, and it contains an Array Formation. Through this formation, you can communicate with him..."

Lin Chen widened his eyes in shock, saying, "Really?"

After obtaining the Qiqiao Hall, Lin Chen had also studied the White Jade Statue, but he had never noticed an Array Formation within it.

Sun Yixiao let out a chuckle, raised his hand, and cast several Art spells. The spells landed on the White Jade Statue, quickly merging into it. A few seconds later, the White Jade Statue began to emit a hazy radiance, and a faint Array Formation appeared at the position of the statue’s heart.

Sun Yixiao then sent another Art spell directly into the Array Formation, which instantly caused the radiance to surge, forming a milky white mirror of light.

The light from the mirror flickered rapidly, soon stabilizing, and then the figure of a predecessor that Lin Chen had met years before appeared within it.

He looked exactly as he had before, identical to the White Jade Statue, without a single change.

The Jade Star Lord was walking between the White Mountain and Black Water, seemingly sensing the call of the Array Formation, his expression turned to one of surprise as he halted his steps, turned his head, and looked over at the people in the hall.

His gaze swept over the crowd, eventually settling on Sun Yixiao’s face, and he spoke with a warm smile, "Isn’t this the Saint of Thieves from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain? Where did you find my statue?"

Sun Yixiao smiled slightly, "This statue wasn’t found by me. It was something you actively gifted to someone else. He didn’t know about the Array Formation within this White Jade Statue, I merely helped activate it for him."

"Gifted?"

The face of the Jade Star Lord showed a brief look of puzzlement, as he looked carefully around the environment, as if he finally remembered this "little toy" he had once refined.

"Is this Qiqiao Hall?"

Jade Star Lord’s eyes swept over the crowd again and finally settled on Lin Chen, his eyes lighting up slightly, the gaze becoming intrigued.

"Eh, isn’t this the little guy who refined all his bones into Sword Bones? How many years has it been since we last met, and you’ve already reached the Great Luo Realm, your strength has improved quite swiftly!"

Lin Chen bowed respectfully, "Junior Lin Chen, I’ve seen the Senior before. Today, I learned of the Senior’s name from his lips. Thank you, Senior, for gifting me the Qiqiao Hall that day. It has helped me avoid many calamities."

Jade Star Lord laughed heartily, "It was just a trinket, don’t mind it. Back then, you gave up that opportunity to save your disciple, and I quite admired you for that. By the way, where is your disciple now?"

Lin Chen replied truthfully, "My disciple received the Senior’s opportunity and entered the Great Luo Realm ahead of me. After we moved to the Myriad Immortal Domain, she participated in the Myriad Immortal Hall’s selection for apprentices, passed the selection as the runner-up, and joined the Myriad Immortal Hall. She is currently serving in the Battle Hall of the External Five Halls, and her strength should be above the Daluo Ultimate Immortal."

Lin Chen and Shu Zi Feng had met in haste and didn’t have much time to talk, so he didn’t know her current situation, but since she had caught the eye of Jiang Wanchun, her strength must be no less than that of a Daluo Ultimate Immortal.

Jade Star Lord smiled and said, "The little girl is indeed talented. With such achievements, she truly deserves the opportunity you sacrificed for her. By the way, how did you end up teaming up with that old rogue, the Saint of Thieves? That kid is not a good person."

Lin Chen instantly felt somewhat embarrassed, not yet sure how to respond, when Sun Yixiao had already jumped up and started cursing, "Who are you slandering here? Who’s not a good person? If I’m not a good person, are you?"

Jade Star Lord was not angry, and he smiled, "When we first met, you already had your eye on my treasures. If I hadn’t been careful, you might have stolen them. And to think I even offered you wine!"

Sun Yixiao’s face turned slightly red, and he tried to justify himself, "You knew perfectly well that I am the Saint of Thieves, yet you flaunted those treasures in front of me. Can you blame me for that? Besides, I only wanted to scare you; I didn’t really make a move. If I had really acted, would I, the renowned Saint of Thieves, have come away empty-handed?"

Jade Star Lord laughed loudly, "I haven’t seen you in thousands of years, why are you still in the Myriad Immortal Domain? Don’t you want to go out and explore?"

Sun Yixiao noticed the background behind Jade Star Lord, "Aren’t you from White Mountain and Black Water, not the Nine Serene Immortal Domain?"

Jade Star Lord nodded, "I’m in the Crimson Immortal Domain. The Immortal Emperor has ordered me to come and take a look around."

Sun Yixiao’s brows suddenly furrowed, and his voice grew more serious, "The Crimson Immortal Domain, is there a war brewing?"

Jade Star Lord hummed in acknowledgment, "A thousand years have passed since the last great war. The Demon Race has been nurturing its strength, ready to strike back. A fierce battle is bound to happen. Daoist Brother Sun, your Stealing Technique is unparalleled in the world. Why not join in? There are plenty of fine treasures in the Demon Race’s possession that you could fancy stealing..."

Sun Yixiao queried, "Has the Immortal Emperor summoned many?"

Jade Star Lord replied, "The battle hasn’t started yet, so only a few have been summoned to take a look at the situation. If war breaks out in full scale, then surely all Immortal Domains will be summoned."

Sun Yixiao hesitated, then responded, "I still have some matters to attend to here. Once I have taken care of them, I will come to the Crimson Immortal Domain for a visit."

Upon hearing Sun Yixiao’s reply, Jade Star Lord’s face broke into a smile, "Good, true to the spirit of the Saint of Thieves! When you arrive, I’ll treat you to a drink!"

Sun Yixiao laughed heartily, "I’ll take you up on that drink. But better hide your treasures well; otherwise, if anything goes missing, don’t blame me..."
