Chapter 2843: Chapter 2863: When the Sky Falls, the Tall Ones Bear the Brunt!

The matter of the Demon Race was merely speculation, without solid evidence, and the guests had arrived, so the longevity banquet proceeded as scheduled.

On the lively occasion at the Void Sect, Wen Mengsheng’s figure appeared outside the mountain gate.

He looked weary, his face solemn, his eyebrows tightly knitted, and a few shades of worry piled upon his usually calm visage.

He was respectfully welcomed into the mountain gate and led to the banquet area.

"Senior Brother!"

Gong Jianying hurried over at the first opportunity, her tone concerned, "How are you, have you been injured?"

Wen Mengsheng smiled warmly, "I’m fine, just a bit tired from the prolonged fight with my adversary."

A prolonged fight?

Gong Jianying asked, "Did he escape?"

Wen Mengsheng nodded, "The opponent was very strong, especially his Ancient Bell Magical Treasure and black stick, which were formidable. Although I exerted my full strength, I only managed to wound him in the end and could not capture him."

Gong Jianying wasn’t surprised by this outcome. Although she believed her senior brother was powerful, the adversary was, after all, a Quasi-Saint with formidable magical treasures, so how could he be easily captured?

Gong Jianying leaned in closer and whispered, "Senior brother, did you see his true face? We suspect that this black-robed person is from the Demon Race..."

Wen Mengsheng’s expression changed slightly, and he pondered, "Find a place and tell me about the previous incident."

"Alright!"

Gong Jianying, Lin Chen, and Wen Mengsheng walked to an inconspicuous place, where Lin Chen recounted the experiences of the two encounters with the black-robed person.

Wen Mengsheng’s expression fluctuated as he sighed, "Your speculation is correct, that guy is indeed from the Demon Race!"

Gong Jianying covered her mouth with both hands, shocked, "Is that true?"

Wen Mengsheng nodded, "Yes, during our encounter, I shattered his hood and saw the single horn on his forehead. This is the most significant trait of the Demon Race. How could the Demon Race appear here? I even doubted my own eyes, but after listening to your accounts, I am almost certain—they must be from the Demon Race."

"These demons have reached the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain through some special means, intending to establish a Teleportation Formation to summon their people here, thereby bypassing the heavy defenses of the Crimson Immortal Domain, and starting a war directly in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain. If they move quickly enough, they could completely occupy the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain before the Immortal Realm reacts, turning it into a bridgehead for the Demon Race’s invasion."

"The Bitter Sea Immortal Domain has connections that lead to various major Immortal Domains, making it extremely convenient. Once they occupy the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, a constant stream of demons will flood in, and the Immortal Realm will soon become a land plagued by war, with the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain entirely becoming the base for demons, and all cultivators might become their prey or slaves."

Wen Mengsheng’s eyes fell on Lin Chen, "Perhaps it is divine favor that you happened to come to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain at this time, seeking medical aid, looking for Leap Void Beasts. Your junior sister accompanied you and gave you a Space Bomb, eventually causing the nearly completed Teleportation Formation of the adversary to be utterly destroyed."

"Reluctant to fail, they attempted to capture Su Hao and Dai Yunshen to seize enough materials, and to force both of them to help in refining the Array Core, and rebuild the Teleportation Formation. However, you stumbled upon them, prevented the Teleportation Array Core from being refined, and protected everyone as you made your escape, exposing this matter."

"You have made a significant achievement this time; had it not been for you, the enemy would have quietly built the Teleportation Formation, and the entire Bitter Sea Immortal Domain would likely have fallen into disarray, and the whole Immortal Realm would have faced drastic changes."

I’ve already made such a significant contribution?

Lin Chen was unexpectedly delighted. Although he had little connection with the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, he was, after all, part of the Human Clan, a member of the Immortal Realm. Who would want to be invaded and ruled by the Demon Race?

Being able to thwart the Demon Race’s invasion plans naturally made Lin Chen happy.

Not bad at all!

He was originally planning to seek the support of Shepherd Heavenly Monarch in the Crimson Immortal Domain, but before he even arrived, he had already made a great contribution to the Immortal Realm. Once he reached the Crimson Immortal Domain, he would surely be treated with even greater importance.

It was indeed good news, but Lin Chen did not let it get to his head. After all, that black-robed person was still alive.

As long as he was alive, restarting the Teleportation Formation was still a possibility!

"Senior Brother Wen, what should we do now?"

Wen Mengsheng reached out and patted Lin Chen’s shoulder, laughing, "I have already sent a message to the Domain Lord. This matter concerns the safety of the entire Bitter Sea Immortal Domain and naturally requires the Domain Lord himself to deal with it. After all, I alone am not enough to bring down the adversary."

"This matter is temporarily unrelated to you. Carry on with your duties without worry. Knowing I could not defeat the adversary, I employed a little trick. With the gathering of powerhouses, we will capture him in one fell swoop."

"I must return to report to Master. Considering so much time has passed, his matters should be nearing completion. As long as Master returns to preside over the situation, a few demons will not stir any trouble."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "With the True Person taking action, success is guaranteed!"

With taller people to handle the sky if it falls, Lin Chen, with his small arms and legs, would hardly come into the picture.

Lin Chen felt no burden on his conscience; having done so much was already quite extraordinary.

The rest was up to the powerhouses of the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain to worry about.

Having already encountered the black-robed person twice, he surely wouldn’t be so unlucky as to run into him a third time, would he?
