Chapter 2745: Chapter 2765: The Army Approaches, Troops at the City Gates

Fairy Lan slightly tilted her head, her gaze puzzled as she looked at Lin Chen.

Disaster?

What disaster could there be?

In this part of the world, there is only Gathering Immortal Island; there are no other Immortal Sects, what could possibly happen?

Lin Chen stared into Fairy Lan’s eyes, "Black Demon Cave must have been inhabited for a long time by a Starry Sky Demon Beast, and after it left, a large brood of Demonic Beast Spiders took over. They have been transformed by the Demonic Qi into Magical Beasts, occupying the world beneath the Black Demon Cave."

"Now the number of these Demon Spiders has reached a terrifying level, and they are very powerful. I don’t know what disturbed them, but I discovered that they have all left the underground and have come to the surface, and they are marching towards the South like an army."

"I’m not sure how intelligent they are, I can’t confirm if they’re targeting this place, but if they are, then Gathering Immortal Island’s residence will face a terrifying onslaught, and it’ll be a disaster."

Fairy Lan’s expression became serious, "Did you figure out the truth about the Black Demon Cave?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "I used some unconventional methods and caught a glimpse of a corner of the Underground World. I didn’t dare enter further. As I was about to return, I saw them emerging in droves, so I ran back here first."

"I’m just a Loose Cultivator, this matter is of great importance; others might not believe what I say, plus there could be unpredictable troubles, so I was hesitant to disclose this news."

"You are the Saintess of Li Hai Sect, part of the Twelve Immortal Gates of Myriad Immortal Palace; your status carries weight, and your words can draw attention. Even if there’s trouble, Gathering Immortal Island would consider your position and wouldn’t do anything to you."

Lin Chen paused, then sincerely said, "I have only one request, don’t reveal my existence. I think if this turns out to be true, it should count as a great merit. You will receive a substantial reward."

"Of course, if you don’t wish to speak of this matter, we can act as if we know nothing, evacuate this place first, and then decide what to do afterwards..."

Fairy Lan’s gaze held a subtle expression, "You seem to trust me a lot?"

Lin Chen nodded, "You are a good person and have treated me well, so naturally, I trust you."

Fairy Lan was silent for a few seconds, "If you weren’t planning to tell anyone, were you planning to leave alone?"

Lin Chen replied, "I will inform you before I leave."

Fairy Lan’s lips curled up faintly, "Because I am a good person?"

Lin Chen’s gaze was forthright, "I am no saint; I don’t plan on saving countless innocent people. When disaster strikes, I act within my abilities, first protecting myself, then those I care about. Fairy Lan, you have looked after me before, so if it’s within my power, I will definitely inform you."

Fairy Lan nodded, "Alright, I will take care of this matter. Rest assured, no one will know of your existence."

Lin Chen sighed in relief, "Thank you!"

Fairy Lan shook her head, speaking softly, "I should be the one thanking you. I was just about to head north, and if it weren’t for your timely return, I might have run right into them."

"Alright, Black Demon Cave is not too far from here, and time is of the essence, so let’s dispense with the small talk. I will go find the person in charge of Gathering Immortal Island right now."

Lin Chen agreed promptly, "Alright!"

Fairy Lan turned around and left. Before long, a voice thundered across the sky.

"All residents, please note, return to within the Protective Array immediately, do not linger outside, and certainly do not leave.

All Daluo Initial Immortals, please come to the Main Hall at once, to the Main Hall!"

Lin Chen stepped out of the house. Outside, people were already moving swiftly across the sky, while more gathered in the open space, discussing the situation with puzzled faces.

Fairy Lan’s face indeed carried influence!

Even though it has not been confirmed whether the Demon Spider army is on its way, Gathering Immortal Island chose to believe and take immediate action.

Lin Chen believed that Gathering Immortal Island must have already sent people to the North to search for the Demon Spider army’s whereabouts.

With such a number and strength of Demon Spiders advancing like an army, no one could possibly miss them; their Divine Senses would detect them from afar. The truth of the matter could easily be confirmed with a simple investigation.

Fairy Lan flew back from outside, immediately attracting the gazes of many.

Zuo Dongxu called out directly, "Fairy Lan, do you know what’s happening?"

Fairy Lan shook her head, "There may be an invasion of outsiders. Gathering Immortal Island has already sent people to investigate, and the outcome will soon be known."

Gu Maduo asked in confusion, "Isn’t it that there are no other Cultivators in this part of the world? Where did the invaders come from?"

Fairy Lan landed on the roof of a house and looked off to the North without answering Gu Maduo’s question.

Time passed in waiting, and just when Lin Chen was starting to wonder if he was being overly paranoid, that the Demon Spiders were not actually targeting this place, several streaks of light suddenly appeared on the horizon.

The streaks tore through the sky, racing towards the residence at incredible speed. Then, in the next second, several huge figures emerged like ghosts on the horizon, instantly catching up with the streaks of light.

Lin Chen’s pupils dilated, they were really here!
