Chapter 2933: Chapter 2953: Discerning Eyes Cannot Tolerate Sand

Lin Chen was quite surprised that this demon named Baili Mei could actually see through his strength realm?

This was not something ordinary people could do, and even a Daluo Initial Immortal couldn’t manage it at present, indicating it might be some kind of demonic talent or special divine power.

As soon as Baili Mei spoke, the expressions in the eyes of Chen Shuihe and others subtly changed.

This guy guessed really accurately!

Lin Chen truly had offended his superiors!

Didn’t Kong Wenlong deploy the third squad just to settle personal grievances?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t admit it, since this was an internal conflict. Even if he and Chen Wenlong fought each other to death, it was still an internal matter and shouldn’t be turned into a spectacle for the demons, right?

Lin Chen coldly responded, "I remember you, you previously fought once before. What, are your demon folks so short on manpower that they sent you again?"

Lin Chen’s tone was mocking, his voice broadcast across the world, "If you’re so short on people, don’t bother putting on a brave face here; just roll back to the Demon World and save yourself the embarrassment!"

Baili Mei was infuriated by Lin Chen’s words, "You know nothing! I can fight again because I won a great victory over you last time, slaughtered your forces into utter disarray and achieved great merit. That’s why I am qualified to fight again!"

"My demon race is crowded with talents and powerhouses as numerous as clouds. Do you think everyone gets a chance to lead a team into battle?"

Lin Chen coldly replied, "Well, I’m sorry then. After this one time, you won’t get another chance to fight!"

"Just by you?"

Baili Mei’s blood pupils shimmered with a sinister radiance, scanning the entire team, "Haha, you are merely a dozen or so Daluo Initial Immortals, while the powerhouses in my team are at least twice as many as yours. What do you have to fight me with?"

"Today, you will again become part of my military achievements, and you will be my hunted target!"

Baili Mei’s face revealed a murderous smile, "Last time, quite a few of your people managed to escape. This time, let’s make it clear, no one is allowed to escape!"

Following Baili Mei’s remarks, a loud laughter erupted from the demon squad.

The number of demon powerhouses comparable to Daluo Initial Immortals was twice that of the third squad. Although the battle hadn’t started yet, it seemed like everyone already foresaw the outcome.

This disparity in strength was simply too great.

Kong Wenlong stood before the Ninth Division Camp, his face stern, staring at the sky dome, remaining silent.

Baili Mei’s words had made his heart suddenly leap, tensing up, fearing that Lin Chen would admit it.

Even if Lin Chen admitted it, he could deny it, throwing all the blame on Lin Chen, but that would inherently bring dishonor. The Army Commander there might not let it slide easily.

Seeing Lin Chen retort and sidestep Baili Mei’s question, Kong Wenlong finally breathed a sigh of relief, cursing inwardly, why didn’t you just start fighting instead of all this jabber!

Meanwhile, at the command post of the First Corps.

Army Commander Jiang Yunfeng looked up at the sky dome, his brow slightly furrowed, "Lower Grade, how did he become a team leader?"

A deputy who knew the insider information promptly reported, "This is the Ninth Team Third Squad, a team from the Haoran Sect. The position of Haoran Sect Master had been vacant since the previous sect master’s mission resulted in a sacrifice. A few years ago, the Hall Master personally appointed Lin Chen as Haoran Sect Master."

Jiang Yunfeng turned his head, his gaze slightly puzzled, "The Hall Master personally appointed him?"

As the commander of the First Corps, Jiang Yunfeng directly managed ten division leaders and was not well-aware of changes in the positions of team leaders.

"Yes!"

The deputy reported, "Lin Chen is the one who broke the Demon Race’s smuggling plan in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, several years ago. He came to the Crimson Immortal Domain to accept the appointment when he was still a Daluo Ultimate Immortal, but now he has reached Daluo Initial Immortal, indicating a breakthrough in these years."

"It’s him?"

Jiang Yunfeng, being the Army Commander, was a core figure in the War God Mansion and certainly aware of the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain’s incidents. He knew about such a kid but hadn’t expected that this person was now a team leader under his own First Corps.

Jiang Yunfeng frowned and muttered, "What was Kong Wenlong thinking, sending him up there?"

The deputy hesitated, his expression slightly uncertain.

Jiang Yunfeng’s senses were incredibly sharp, clearly catching the deputy’s reaction. His brow immediately furrowed, his eyes filled with a frosty air.

"Is there some underlying issue?"

The deputy whispered, "A few years ago, when Lin Chen had just taken over as Haoran Sect Master, he came to see the Hall Master at the War God Hall Lake Heart Pavilion and spoke for a long time. Meanwhile, Lin Chen also helped the sect collect some overdue supplies from the Military Supply Department. When someone cut in line, Lin Chen sent him packing..."

Jiang Yunfeng stared at the sky dome, "Get to the point."

The deputy quickly got straight to the point, "A junior from the Zhou Family, Zhou Daocang, cut in line and was scolded by Lin Chen, forcing him to apologize on the spot. The next day, Lin Chen scolded Chen Quan, grandson of the Second Corps Army Commander, and a group of others in a street altercation, causing Chen Quan and others to lose face badly."

Pausing slightly, the deputy delivered the most crucial piece of information, "Kong Wenlong’s younger sister is married to Chen Quan’s second uncle."

Jiang Yunfeng’s face suddenly turned grim, a chilling murderous intent flaring in his eyes.

"Personal vengeance, sending Lin Chen to his death?"
