Chapter 2640: Chapter 2660: Have you finally appeared after waiting for so long?

The appointed meeting place was instantly recognized by Lin Chen, who saw Yue Chengtian looking around anxiously.

"Chengtian!"

Upon turning his head, Yue Chengtian beheld Lin Chen’s sudden appearance like a ghost, and his face broke into an expression of delighted surprise.

"Brother! You’re finally here; I’ve been waiting for you for so long! I thought you might have left me behind and gone off on your own."

Lin Chen glanced around: "Alone?"

Yue Chengtian chuckled: "Yes."

Filled with curiosity, Lin Chen asked, "Your mother is the City Lord, and you’re off to seek adventure. Didn’t she assign you any guards? Doesn’t she worry about you?"

Yue Chengtian’s face immediately fell: "I ran away in secret."

Lin Chen couldn’t help but chuckle: "She wouldn’t let you wander the world, huh?"

"Yes!"

Yue Chengtian let out a sigh and said, "I told her I wanted to go with you, but she said it was too dangerous and wouldn’t allow it. She locked me up in the city, but luckily, I was prepared and managed to escape using the Array Formation. Otherwise, I’d be trapped like a bird in a cage by now."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Your mother just wants what’s best for you. Following us is fraught with dangers!"

Yue Chengtian made a face: "Staying cooped up at home all the time, building chariots behind closed doors is no fun. It’s more thrilling to adventure through Jianghu with you. It’s just a pity that my strength is not up there, and I can’t even help you fight. If I’m not careful, I might even become a burden to you."

Lin Chen offered words of comfort: "An Array Master’s role is no less significant than that of more powerful cultivators. It’s just that we’re always on the move, and there’s little opportunity to use Arrays."

Yue Chengtian’s eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Chen: "Brother, I want to go to the Crimson Immortal Domain. I’ve heard that the Eternal City Wall is filled with countless Array Formations. If I could join their ranks, I’m certain I could be of use!"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. This guy was really thinking long-term.

"Do you know much about the Crimson Immortal Domain?"

At the mention of the Crimson Immortal Domain, Yue Chengtian’s eyes lit up: "As you just said, Array Formations have the advantage that once they are set up, even the weakest strength can manipulate them to exert tremendous power. Their drawback, however, is that they are not portable. The more powerful the Array, the greater the demands, which virtually eliminates the possibility of on-the-spot deployment."

"Because of this, Arrays are most commonly used in sects and battlefields in the Immortal Realm; the Mountain Protection Array outside the sect, and the various small arrays within, are layered upon each other. On the battlefield, the number of Protective and Attack Arrays is vast, with immense power."

"Didn’t the Jade Star Lord mention earlier that the Demon Race is on the move again and war between Immortals and Demons is imminent? There will definitely be a massive demand for Array Masters on the battlefield. That’s why I want to go to the Crimson Immortal Domain, to contribute my strength and not waste the skills I’ve learned."

Lin Chen gave Yue Chengtian a thumbs-up: "Ambitious!"

Yue Chengtian blushed slightly: "I just feel that I can best exert my abilities on the Eternal City Wall. I wouldn’t dare to go alone. Brother, please don’t look down on me."

Lin Chen patted Yue Chengtian on the shoulder: "How could I look down on you? Since you’ve made your decision, then let’s go. I’ll protect you along the way. Who knows, once we’ve reached the Crimson Immortal Domain, you might rise to prominence, and then I might even need your help."

The flustered Yue Chengtian replied: "Brother, stop teasing me. You’re so outstanding that even the Shepherd Heavenly Monarch and Jade Star Lord see you in a different light. How could I compare to that?"

"Don’t sell yourself short."

Lin Chen reassured with a smile: "For all we know, you might become a legend on the Eternal City Wall in the future."

Having met up with Yue Chengtian, the three set off once more, heading straight for the City of Nether Fire.

In the City of Nether Fire, Lin Chen altered his appearance and entered the city alone.

As before, he waited in line, and after half a day, it was finally Lin Chen’s turn.

Pretending it was his first visit, Lin Chen made some inquiries and again received a quote.

Lin Chen took out two Snow Spirit Ice Crystals: "I have Snow Spirit Ice Crystals. Two should cover 1 billion Spirit Stones. When can the City Lord lend a hand?"

The staff member was taken aback and quickly summoned the manager.

After verifying the Snow Spirit Ice Crystals and finding them authentic, the manager’s face lit up with a smile.

"Sir, I will queue up your application for an appointment right away, please wait a moment."

Taking Lin Chen’s application, the manager stepped behind the counter and quickly completed the arrangement, then looked up with a smile: "Sir, your application is successfully booked. Please come back three days later in the afternoon."

Lin Chen pressed further: "Next time I come, will the City Lord personally take care of my problem?"

The manager replied with a smile: "We provide services in exchange for fees, with clear and fair pricing. Naturally, that’s the case."

"Alright, I’ll be back in three days!"

After Lin Chen left, the manager’s smile vanished as he immediately left the counter and headed into an inner room.

In the room sat a man, resting with his eyes closed in a chair.

The manager saluted the man: "Great One, someone has applied to sever the bond of their split good and evil nature. The case matches one we’ve recorded before, but the person who came this time is different. He’s paid with two Snow Spirit Ice Crystals, and I’ve scheduled him for three days later in the afternoon."

The man opened his eyes, an excited gleam within: "We’ve waited so long for him to show up, has he finally appeared?"
