Chapter 2848: Chapter 2868: Do You Think I Don’t Dare to Kill You?

Huh, is this the kind of treatment I get?

Lin Chen felt a surge of joy—what a smooth start!

A pretty handmaid stepped forward, led Lin Chen onward, and set up a table and chairs in the open space before the big bed, placing exotic fruits, fine dishes, and fine wine on the table.

The Thousand Demon Monarch lifted his cup, "Drink wine!"

Lin Chen, without any reservation, picked up his cup and drained it in one gulp, "Thank you, Senior."

The Thousand Demon Monarch laughed, "Though you came upon this unwittingly, you ultimately foiled the Demon Race’s invasion plans. Otherwise, the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain would likely be in a state of death and destruction, and my days would not be so peaceful anymore. For this favor, everyone in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain should be grateful."

Lin Chen replied modestly, "Senior flatters me. I was merely saving myself; it was entirely coincidental."

The Thousand Demon Monarch chuckled, "You said you came here specifically to visit me—what for?"

A smile stayed on Lin Chen’s face, but his heart tightened.

"I wanted to ask the Demon Monarch about someone."

The Thousand Demon Monarch nodded, "Who?"

Lin Chen stared into the Thousand Demon Monarch’s eyes and said calmly, "Taoist Duan Tian’s daughter, Zhu Yuqiu."

The amusement slowly vanished from the Thousand Demon Monarch’s face, and his eyes grew sharp as an eagle’s, fixed intently on Lin Chen’s.

"You say you come from the Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, so you couldn’t possibly know her. Who are you inquiring for?"

Lin Chen had prepared a story to tell, but being stared at by the Thousand Demon Monarch like this, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Taoist Duan Tian."

A knowing look flashed across the Thousand Demon Monarch’s face, "So the guy really didn’t die off completely. Where did you run into him?"

Lin Chen replied, "In the Land of Spatial Turbulence. His physical body has no signs of life left; though he seems unharmed, he is actually completely incapacitated. What’s left is just a Remnant Soul, hiding inside his Life-bound Magical Treasure—the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup..."

The Thousand Demon Monarch burst into laughter, "Back then when I was hunting and killing him, he managed to escape by chance. But the methods of this Demon Monarch are not so easily endured. I had confirmed he would become physically incapacitated and his Divine Soul severely damaged; I just wasn’t sure if he would die or not."

"So many years have passed, and that fellow is actually still alive; he really can endure. By my calculations, he should have died by now. It seems he’s been hiding in the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup all this time, using the power of the treasure to slow down the weakening of his Divine Soul, haha, it seems he’s lived quite an embarrassed life over these years."

Lin Chen blinked. Isn’t he in a hurry to ask me where Taoist Duan Tian is?

It’s said that he and Taoist Duan Tian have a significant grudge, the kind that doesn’t stop until death. Doesn’t he want to completely eliminate the threat?

While Lin Chen was pondering this, the Thousand Demon Monarch suddenly spoke, "Since you’ve met him and have come to inquire for him, the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup must be with you, right?"

Lin Chen was startled and replied without hesitation, "Of course it’s not on me. Otherwise, wouldn’t I be finished if you, Demon Monarch, had any ideas?"

The Thousand Demon Monarch looked at Lin Chen with a smile that was not really a smile, "What has he promised to give you for your troubles?"

Lin Chen suddenly felt that perhaps the Thousand Demon Monarch knew Taoist Duan Tian best. He spoke frankly, "He said he couldn’t rest assured about his only daughter, and hoped I would find her so they could meet once again—that’s his last wish. If I could help him fulfill this wish, he would give me the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup and all of his other collected treasures."

The Thousand Demon Monarch sneered, "You’re here to inquire, so you should know that he and I are bitter enemies. Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you for helping him, or perhaps, you think I wouldn’t dare kill you because of True Person Tai Xu?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "That’s not it. I just feel like you wouldn’t do that."

The Thousand Demon Monarch’s eyes narrowed, "And why is that?"

"Intuition."

Facing the eyes of the Thousand Demon Monarch, Lin Chen answered confidently, "Actually, before coming here, I had prepared a whole other story. But when you asked me, I suddenly felt that telling the truth might be the better option."

The Thousand Demon Monarch said coldly, "What if your intuition is wrong? I know the Sun Moon Divine Dragon Cup is on you. Hand it over, don’t force me to kill you to take it myself!"

As the Thousand Demon Monarch spoke, the space around Lin Chen seemed to freeze instantly, endless murderous intent emanating from the Demon Monarch, as if he might shred Lin Chen to pieces in the next second.

Lin Chen didn’t move, his expression calm, in a stance that said if you want to kill me, then do it.

"I can tell you the truth, but I cannot give it to you."

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly turned frigid. The many pretty women around also looked at Lin Chen with concern.

Their master was not a kind-hearted man; he was more ruthless than anyone when it came to killing. This handsome guy angering the Thousand Demon Monarch to his face was most unwise!

Suddenly, the pressure around Lin Chen dissipated, the powerful coercion in the air vanished instantly, replaced by the big laughter of the Thousand Demon Monarch.

"Kid, you’ve got some guts, huh..."
