Chapter 2857: Chapter 2877: The Black-robed Person is Dead?

"What kind of background can I possibly have?"

Lin Chen said innocently, spreading his hands, "Haven’t I already told you about my experiences?"

The Thousand Demon Monarch said in a ghostly tone, "With no notable background, you expect me to believe that you have two beings comparable to Quasi-Saints as your guards?"

Lin Chen sighed and explained seriously, "You’ve misunderstood, Senior Zhen was injured and borrowed my magical treasure to hide and heal. Because I helped her a little with her healing, she agreed to help me. Senior Brother Wen knows all about it, I even asked him to help treat her."

"As for Tia, it’s a Starry Sky Demon Beast, well, because its mother isn’t a Starry Sky Demon Beast, it looks a bit different. I’m taking him to the Crimson Immortal Domain to find his father, to find the ancestral land of the Starry Sky Demon Beasts. We’re traveling together as partners, and it hopes I can take it to the Crimson Immortal Domain, so naturally, it wouldn’t watch me die; it defended me, simply put."

Listening to Lin Chen’s explanation, the Thousand Demon Monarch’s expression was subtle, then with a sweep of his large hand, he laughed heartily, "Okay, I believe you, brother. I take your word for it!"

Lin Chen helplessly said, "I’m not lying to you, Senior, everything I said is true."

The Thousand Demon Monarch laughed loudly, "I’ve said I believe you, haven’t I? And stop calling me Senior. We get along so well, and you saved my life. You’ve shown me great kindness; from now on, you’re my brother. If there’s anything you need, just say it; as your elder brother, I won’t hesitate!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Is that really okay?"

The Thousand Demon Monarch barked, "What’s not okay about it? When dealing with people, it’s hearts we exchange in the Cultivation World. If we were to compare ages, it would be pointless. You may be young, but your ability is great, and you’ve helped me. It’s only right that we refer to each other as brothers. Why, do you look down on me, unwilling to be my brother?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "How could I? That would be my honor."

The Thousand Demon Monarch’s anger turned to joy, "That’s more like it! I never told you my name before. I’m Yu Qianfan. You can call me Senior Brother Yu, Brother Yu, or even Big Brother; in any case, don’t be a stranger!"

With things going this far, Lin Chen naturally couldn’t be reserved; he quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, I’ll call you Brother Yu then. I hope you won’t look down on me as your little brother with limited abilities."

The Thousand Demon Monarch snorted, "Brother, that’s like a slap in my face. If you hadn’t taken action today, I’d have been ruined, unable to chat here at all. By the way, who were those people who just arrived?"

Lin Chen replied, "Mount Taixu. True Person Tai Xu’s eldest disciple Wen Mengsheng. He had already been hunting and killing that demon Quasi-Saint for some distance, inflicting an injury on him, but the demon managed to escape. This time, I fear that demon is going to suffer once again."

The Thousand Demon Monarch said, "Ah, I see. It’s no wonder. The prowess of True Person Tai Xu goes without saying, but everyone knows that the Senior Brother of Mount Taixu is actually a Quasi-Saint himself; it’s just that he keeps a low profile, not one to show off, but his combat power is extremely strong."

After a pause, the Thousand Demon Monarch sighed, "It’s a shame I was severely injured by two people joining forces; otherwise, I would have caught up to lend a helping hand..."

Lin Chen asked again, "Pre... Brother Yu, are your injuries serious?"

The Thousand Demon Monarch answered, "The bone spurs of the Black-robed People are made from the bones of some special ferocious beast, which contain a type of unique corrosive breath. If it wasn’t for my quasi-saintly nature, just this corrosive ability alone would have been enough to kill me. However, even so, I think a full recovery might take a few hundred years."

Lin Chen widened his eyes in shock, "Is it really that severe?"

The Thousand Demon Monarch said with a wry smile, "Though a Quasi-Saint is strong, healing a Quasi-Saint’s injuries is also difficult. Usually, anything capable of injuring a Quasi-Saint is far from ordinary. This bone spur carries an incredibly evil breath, not something that can be easily dealt with. If it were otherwise, I would have caught up by now."

Lin Chen offered comfort, "A few hundred years is just a few hundred years; it’s good as long as you’re alive. Go into closed-door cultivation, and those few hundred years will pass in a flash."

The Thousand Demon Monarch replied, "Yes, for a Quasi-Saint, a few hundred years really is just a blink of an eye. It’s not a big deal, but it’s a shame I won’t be able to enjoy the company of pretty women for a few hundred years..."

Lin Chen didn’t know how to respond for a moment and turned to look at the mountains that had now become ruins. "Your palace..."

The Thousand Demon Monarch said with a laugh, "The palace is a magical treasure. I had to come out to fight, so naturally, I have collected it. As long as I’m not dead, they won’t be in any trouble."

Lin Chen uttered an "Oh," and let out a sigh of relief. Although the pretty women in those palaces were of no relation to Lin Chen, he still didn’t wish for them to be affected by the great battle.

"Let’s find another place to rest and wait for Wen."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen and the Thousand Demon Monarch changed locations. The Thousand Demon Monarch began to heal, while Lin Chen waited quietly.

No matter the outcome, Wen Mengsheng would surely return.

Lin Chen also really wanted to know if he could kill the black-robed people and eliminate future troubles.

This waiting lasted for several days, and just as Lin Chen was refining due to boredom, Wen Mengsheng suddenly came back.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and went up to greet him, "Senior Brother Wen!"

Wen Mengsheng said with a gentle smile, "Lin Chen, you truly are the lucky charm of our Bitter Sea Immortal Domain. We couldn’t find any trace of him despite searching everywhere, yet you managed to run into him!"

Lin Chen widened his eyes, full of anticipation, and asked, "How did it go, did you catch him?"

Wen Mengsheng nodded, "I was chasing them and looking for help at the same time. Eventually, more and more people joined the pursuit, and the black-robed person was finally cornered. Seeing no hope of escape, he self-destructed."

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, "The black-robed person is dead?"

Wen Mengsheng laughed, "Yes, although his greenish Ancient Bell was extremely powerful and the explosive force injured several Quasi-Saints, no matter what, he has been eradicated, which eliminates a big threat."

Lin Chen reminded, "It’s not just him that came from the Demon Race, that day when I detonated the entire Misty World, he protected quite a few people. Although these people are not as powerful as him, they still exist."

Wen Mengsheng replied, "We’ve been aware of this matter. We previously consulted with Su Sect Master and Peak Master Dai about setting up a large-scale teleportation formation. The array core is crucial, and it is definitely not something that any artifact refiner can refine."

"While we are gathering all the artifact refiners with the strength to refine the core, we are also announcing to the world, searching for traces of the Demon Race. These people are skulking around with dubious activities, and as long as they dare to show up, we will definitely be able to capture them."

"Although they are now like mice in the gutter and not easy to catch, as long as our capturing efforts are detailed enough, they won’t be able to escape. After all, they are in this region and can’t possibly hide forever."

Lin Chen exhales with relief and says with a laugh, "That’s good to hear, the big issues are settled then. Right, what about Jiang Wanli, the traitorous Palace Lord of the Spring God Palace?"

"He escaped."

Wen Mengsheng answered, "Our primary target was hunting and killing the Demon Race. At that time, Jiang Wanli fled separately, and we didn’t pay him much attention. Our first and foremost goal was to kill the Demon Race, so he got away..."
