Chapter 2875: Chapter 2895: So Many Quasi-Saints, It’s All an Illusion!

Lin Chen gave Chen Shuihe a glance, but that was all.

Nowadays, surrounded by many powerhouses, Lin Chen stood with an air of unyielding confidence.

Not to mention a Deputy Sect Master, he could even bulldoze the entire Haoran Sect if needed!

"Sect Master, your residence has already been arranged; I’ll take you there!"

"Alright, thank you for the trouble!"

Chi Ya led Lin Chen deep into the sect, through an environment quiet and serene, rich with spiritual Qi, very suitable for cultivation.

Lin Chen’s residence was a small manor, staffed with handmaids and servants, and because Gu Yuexi and the others were his Daoist couple, they too resided here.

Knowing that Lin Chen would surely want to communicate with his wives first, Chi Ya made some brief arrangements and then took the initiative to leave, giving Lin Chen and the others some privacy.

In the spacious room, Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I never expected such a big surprise waiting for me before I came here."

Nalan Wushuang chuckled lightly, "That’s because you’re always stirring up trouble. A visit to the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, and you managed to encounter the Demon Race, foiling their grand teleportation scheme. The war between immortals and demons hasn’t even officially started, and you’ve already made a name for yourself."

Lin Chen inquired, "How’s the current situation? Any movements on the Demon World’s side?"

Nalan Wushuang’s expression turned serious, "It is said that the Immortal Demon Channel has begun to loosen, and some scattered demons have already infiltrated the Immortal Realm. However, they were mostly eradicated. According to the information we have now, it seems that the war between immortals and demons is inevitable..."

Lin Chen frowned, "When will the Immortal Demon Channel fully open?"

Nalan Wushuang shook her head, "I don’t know. After all, the speed at which the passage opens mainly depends on how much effort the Demon Race is putting into it. In the wars between immortals and demons, it’s always been the Demon World attacking and the Immortal Realm defending."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "Why can’t the Immortal Realm take the offensive instead?"

Nalan Wushuang replied, "The environment in the Demon World is said to be unfriendly to immortals. An immortal’s strength would be affected upon entering it. Therefore, if we were to invade the Demon World, we would suffer a significant disadvantage. Additionally, given the harsh environment in the Demon World, the Immortal Realm isn’t too interested in it. On the other hand, the Demon Race has always wanted to invade the Immortal Realm and rule over the Human Clan, so they’d seize any opportunity to attack our Immortal Realm."

Lan Xinyu spoke up, "The opening of the channel is a lengthy process and not something that can be completed in a day. From the moment a crack appears, war will always be present. The former Sect Master of Haoran Sect died while on a mission."

Died on a mission?

Appointing me as Sect Master?

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch was proficient in the divination of Heaven’s Secret and had spoken to me about things concerning the "future." Could it be that he has some agenda with regards to me?

Surely not?

Even with help, I am but a Daluo Ultimate Immortal; surely not ready to shoulder such a burden.

Lin Chen pondered and then asked, "You’ve lived here for many years now, how do you feel about it?"

Yao Xiong responded, "Since you hadn’t arrived, we too have been staying here temporarily as the family of the Sect Master, without really participating in the affairs of the Haoran Sect."

"Before you came, all matters of the sect were managed by the Deputy Sect Master Chen Shanshui. After all, with the Sect Master absent, it is only right and proper for the Deputy Sect Master to act on his behalf. Moreover, he was originally the Deputy Sect Master with seniority and not inconsiderable prestige."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "So, what’s his attitude towards me, the Sect Master who dropped out of the sky?"

Yao Xiong shook his head, "Once the order from the War God Temple arrived, they announced it in front of all disciples and have been very polite to us. At least on the surface, there are no signs of opposition or resistance. As for what he really thinks inside, that’s hard for us to grasp."

"You naturally don’t like meddling in affairs and prefer freedom. Whether you want the position of Sect Master of Haoran Sect is itself questionable. So, while living here, we just consider ourselves guests, never intruding with commands, nor interfering with internal sect matters. As a result, the past few years have been quite harmonious."

Lin Chen gave a wry smile, "Suddenly feels like I’m re-enlisting in the military. How many people are in the entire Haoran Sect?"

Yao Xuanji answered, "Slightly over a thousand formal disciples, among them seven to eight are Daluo Initial Immortals, more than twenty Daluo Ultimate Immortals, and close to a hundred Daluo Mysterious Immortals. The rest are ordinary immortals, mostly consisting of Golden Immortals and Fairies."

Lin Chen blinked, "That strength sounds decent, but if we encounter a Quasi-Saint, won’t we be directly wiped out?"

Yao Xiong laughed, "There aren’t that many Quasi-Saints. In the entire Ten Thousand Gods Immortal Domain, one of the Eight Great Immortal Domains, all the Quasi-Saints put together would not exceed the fingers on two hands. Even throughout the entire Immortal Realm, the number of Quasi-Saints isn’t too high, and it’s the same for the Demon Race. Besides, there’s always a balance - soldier to soldier, general to general, king to king. If the enemy Quasi-Saints take action, our side will surely have Quasi-Saints to meet them, unless their number of Quasi-Saints far exceeds ours..."

Lin Chen chuckled, "It’s just that recently I’ve been dealing with Quasi-Saints more frequently, so I have the odd impression that Quasi-Saints are everywhere..."
