Chapter 2897: Chapter 2917: You’ve never even seen the Demon Race, and you’re posturing in front of me?

Manager Chen became anxious and shouted angrily, "How have I slandered the Zhou Family, stop spouting nonsense!"

Lin Chen turned his head and stared at Zhou Daocang, "Sect Master Zhou, may I ask who is the Senior Zhou mentioned on the Immortal God Stele related to you?"

Zhou Daocang, being stared at by Lin Chen like this, suddenly felt a surge of anger in his eyes.

What do you mean by this?

Are you checking my background?

He really wanted to directly scold Lin Chen, to bully him with his power, but as more and more onlookers gathered around, he began to hesitate.

If this incident got out, and the reputation of the Zhou Family collapsed because of him, he guessed the elders in his family would flay him alive!

Zhou Daocang gritted his teeth and said, "Great-grandfather on my mother’s side!"

Lin Chen asked, "Have you ever participated in a great battle between Immortals and Demons, personally slain members of the Demon Race, and established great merit?"

Zhou Daocang’s expression changed abruptly; he probably knew what Lin Chen was getting at, but now the initiative in their conversation had completely shifted into Lin Chen’s hands after his forceful and slightly tragic words had thoroughly suppressed Zhou Daocang’s presence.

He gritted his teeth and answered, "During the last great battle between Immortals and Demons, I had not yet been born... But this time, I caught up, and I will definitely do my utmost, following in the footsteps of my great-grandfather, to resist the invasion of the Demon Race..."

"So that’s a no then!"

Lin Chen directly spoke up, interrupting his righteous declaration, "Although I have only recently arrived and am not clear about what feats Senior Zhou had actually achieved, the fact that he is listed on the Immortal God Stele speaks for itself!"

"If today it were Senior Zhou who came to collect supplies, I wouldn’t need him to cut in line, I would absolutely voluntarily offer my place and invite him to go first out of respect for him, for, in my entire life, I admire no one more than those heroes who sacrifice themselves for the sake of others!"

Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, the color of Zhou Daocang’s face had already turned bright red, and he was unmistakably infuriated, knowing what Lin Chen was about to say next.

Lin Chen stared at Zhou Daocang and coldly said, "You haven’t even seen a demon, and you have no achievements to your name. What right do you have, what face do you have to cut in line?"

"Is it just because Senior Zhou is your great-grandfather on your mother’s side that you think you can recklessly wield his name and enjoy all these privileges?"

Zhou Daocang was enraged, glaring back, "I haven’t seen a demon, so you mean to say you have?"

"Yes, I have!"

Lin Chen watched Zhou Daocang with a calm expression, "Not only have I seen them, but I have also killed at least a few hundred!"

At this statement from Lin Chen, everyone’s gaze unanimously focused on Lin Chen’s face, shocked.

The originally buzzing whispers in the surroundings suddenly ceased.

The entire courtyard was wrapped in an eerie silence.

Manager Chen suddenly turned around, staring at Lin Chen in disbelief.

He killed demons?

Hundreds?

Is it true or just a fabrication?

He looks so young!

Zhou Daocang’s expression changed drastically, equally incredulous, "Impossible! This can’t be possible! Judging by your appearance, you’re not that old. The last battle between Immortals and Demons was so long ago, how could you have possibly taken part in it?"

Lin Chen laughed coldly, "When did I say I killed the demons during the last battle between Immortals and Demons?"

Zhou Daocang laughed dismissively, seeming to have caught a slip in Lin Chen’s words, "The realms of Immortals and Demons are separate, aside from the battle between Immortals and Demons, where else could you encounter demons? Are you claiming that demons secretly crossed through the Immortal Demon Channel, showed up elsewhere, and were then killed by you?"

"Yes!"

The hint of a smile appeared on Lin Chen’s face, "Exactly as you said, that’s right."

Zhou Daocang scoffed, "Sect Master Lin, if you are going to fabricate stories, at least make them believable. If there really were hundreds of demons, such a major event, how would the War God Mansion not know about it? Besides, what strength do you have to single-handedly kill hundreds of demons? You really don’t know how to make up stories."

Lin Chen looked at Zhou Daocang and smiled slightly, "How do you know the War God Mansion doesn’t know about this?"

Zhou Daocang’s sarcastic expression suddenly froze.

"The War God Mansion knows about this?"

Lin Chen spoke calmly, "You didn’t know about this, could it be that in the Zhou Family, in the War God Mansion, you aren’t as important as you think you are?"

Lin Chen’s words struck Zhou Daocang like a resounding slap across the face, making his face flush red instantly.

Who are you trying to fool in front of me?

Such a big incident and you didn’t know; are you really that impressive?

If your position were indeed high, if you truly were impressive, you would have known about this.

Zhou Daocang glared at Lin Chen through gritted teeth, "Just who exactly are you?"

Zhou Daocang’s question was clearly not asking for Lin Chen’s name but questioning his origin and background.

Lin Chen stared back at Zhou Daocang calmly, "Sect Master Lin Chen of Haoran Sect, I was just appointed a few days ago, but the appointment as the sect master has been in place for several years, the reason being that I had slaughtered hundreds of demons and thwarted their sneaking scheme, earning military honors for it."

He paused and then added lightly, "Oh, right, this position as sect master was personally appointed by the Hall Master..."
