Chapter 2911: Chapter 2931: Kid, you’ve got some thick skin!

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch wore a peculiar expression, looking at Lin Chen before him with a nuanced gaze.

This kid really is bold!

Offending Domain Lords and Quasi-Saints without hesitation, and this kid probably has quite a few tricks up his sleeve, that sentence "Sidao Wang thought he killed me" has already explained a lot.

"So, you’ve come to the Crimson Immortal Domain for refuge?"

Lin Chen sincerely said, "Yes, I came to seek patronage, it just depends on whether the Hall Master is willing to protect me."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch asked, "How will it help you if I protect you, and what if I don’t?"

Lin Chen earnestly replied, "If the Hall Master protects me, I’ll peacefully serve as the Sect Master of Haoran Sect and follow the orders of War God Mansion, participating in this Immortal-Demon war. If the Hall Master is unwilling to protect me, with my life in danger, I’ll definitely run away. After all, my life is precious."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch laughed, "And where would you run to, Mount Taixu to seek True Person Tai Xu?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Not necessarily. The Immortal Domain is vast and there are many places I can go. After all, I’m just a minor character. Although I’ve offended those big shots, they wouldn’t go to such lengths to hunt me down over such a trifle, right? As long as I stay far away, avoiding their presence, that should be enough."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch laughed heartily, "After what you’ve said, how could I not protect you? As long as you’re one of War God Mansion’s people, nobody else can bully you. If someone from War God Mansion bullies you and you’re in the right, not to mention how to handle it, the bottom line is I won’t let you be wronged. Is that acceptable?"

Lin Chen stood up, bowed with hands clasped, "Thank you, Hall Master. With these words from you, I can finally have peace of mind."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch stared at Lin Chen, "Though your strength isn’t all that formidable, the adventures you’ve lived through show that you’re a man of destiny. I hope you can bring this destiny to the Immortal-Demon Battlefield and once again achieve outstanding feats like those you’ve earned in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain."

Lin Chen nodded, "Since I’ve decided to stay, then I am a soldier of the War God Mansion. Whatever the military order tells me to do, I’ll do it. I’ve heard that those who establish military merits can enter the Spirit Ascending Array for cultivation, and I hope to earn more merits to enhance my strength, so I’m not always bullied by others."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch smiled, "Very well, then be at ease and fulfill your role as Team Leader. Anything else you’d like to ask?"

Lin Chen quickly spoke up, "There’s a personal matter... Where is Chi Zai now?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch looked at Lin Chen, "What do you need him for, to catch up like old friends?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Although I traveled with Senior Chi Zai for half a year, I wouldn’t dare call him a friend. I just want to ask him about some things concerning the Starry Sky Demon Beasts..."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded, not asking further, "He’s on the western front, assisting the Sixth Legion. You can find him at their station."

Having learned of Chi Zai’s whereabouts, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking it over and finding no other matters, he took the initiative to say goodbye, "I have nothing else to ask. With the Hall Master so busy, I won’t take up more of your time. Farewell!"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch watched Lin Chen, "Planning to return to Haoran Sect?"

Lin Chen reported honestly, "First I’ll meet with Senior Chi Zai, then return to Haoran Sect for Closed Door Cultivation, striving for improvement, so I won’t just be killed by someone at random on the Battlefield."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch gestured, "Go on, then. Cultivate diligently, and I look forward to hearing good news from you on the Battlefield."

"Yes!"

Lin Chen, without wasting words, walked out of the Lake Heart Pavilion. However, he hadn’t gone far when he stopped in his tracks, his eyes fixed intently on the Ten Thousand Immortals Lotus in the heart of the lake.

The voice of Shepherd Heavenly Monarch came from the pavilion, laced with a mix of amusement and resignation, "Fancy the Ten Thousand Immortals Lotus of mine, do you?"

Lin Chen turned back, with an innocent face, "My apologies, Hall Master. I’ve long heard of the king among lotuses, the Ten Thousand Immortals Lotus, but this is my first time seeing it in person, and it’s even bearing lotus seeds. I’ve heard these seeds have miraculous effects on Breaking the Realm, so I couldn’t help but take a few extra glances..."

"You kid, you’ve got quite the thick skin!"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch chuckled and then said, "Since you’ve earned considerable merit, I’ll give you one. However, I must remind you, the Ten Thousand Immortals Lotus is only effective the first time a person uses it, so think carefully about when you want to use it."

Lin Chen, grinning broadly, clasped his hands in gratitude, "Thank you, Senior. I will definitely strive in my cultivation and slay more of the Demon Race to repay this great favor from the Hall Master."

A ripe Ten Thousand Immortals Lotus seed flew out from the center of the lake, hovering in front of Lin Chen.

"Take it and get lost!"

"Got it!"

Lin Chen happily secured the Ten Thousand Immortals Lotus seed and left cleanly, passing by the Divine Consort Bamboo without further delay. After all, he wasn’t lacking in cultivation resources, what he needed was just something mystical to help with Breaking the Realm.

Upon leaving the garden entrance, the guards waiting there looked at Lin Chen with subtle expressions.

They had originally thought it was just a simple inquiry that wouldn’t take long, but Lin Chen had stayed inside for quite some time. Such a lengthy private conversation seemed to suggest Lin Chen was highly regarded!
