Chapter 2940: Chapter 2960: Remember, We Didn’t Do Anything!

Lin Chen led all members of the Third Team back to the army camp behind the War God Mansion, and the moment they returned, they instantly attracted the attention of innumerable people within the camp.

"That must be a squad returning from combat duty, but why does it seem like they have so many people? They’ve hardly lost anyone, have they?"

"Not only have they not lost anyone, there are even very few injured among them!"

"What’s going on?"

"Could the Demon Race be so weak that they were simply steamrolled to victory?"

"Weak? Did you see the teams that came down earlier? There were two teams that were almost decimated, perhaps this team simply had weaker opponents and got lucky."

"That must be it. Hey, they’re really lucky, barely any casualties and they can rest now, waiting for the next round of battle!"

In the Second Corps’ camp, Chen Quan, Li Ke, and others looked at the team in the sky and their expressions suddenly changed slightly.

Li Ke exclaimed, "Isn’t that the kid?"

Chen Quan frowned deeply and turned to give an order, "Find someone to find out what exactly happened."

Chen Quan knew about the Haoran Sect where Lin Chen was from; after the past war, their strength had diminished a lot and could only be considered average, or even slightly below that.

If they were sent out to fight, how could there be no casualties or even very few injuries?

This is unscientific!

Could Lin Chen’s damn luck be so good that he just ran into a Demon Race squad that was a pushover?

Soon, the news was relayed back.

"The Ninth Team drew the Fifth and Third Teams for battle. The Fifth Team had an evenly matched fight with the opponent, and had quite a few casualties, but especially many injuries..."

Chen Quan interrupted impatiently, "Talk about the Third Team."

The subordinate spoke hurriedly, "The Third Team encountered a very strong Demon Race team. According to the leader of their team, the number of Demon Lords they had was twice that of the Daluo Initial Immortals of the Third Team, holding an overwhelming advantage."

Li Ke asked in surprise, "If that’s the case, why did the Third Team suffer almost no losses? Did they run away without fighting?"

"They fought."

The man who gathered intelligence said with a complicated gaze, "In the moment when both teams were about to clash, Team Leader Lin Chen took out a banner and directly summoned fifty Great Demons comparable to Demon Lords from it. Alongside the Third Team’s Daluo Initial Immortals, they immediately broke through the Demon Race team’s front ranks and then completely tore apart and scattered their defensive line..."

"Wait a minute!"

Chen Quan’s eyes widened, staring at his subordinate in shock, "Lin Chen summoned fifty Great Demons comparable to Daluo Initial Immortals?"

"Yes!"

The subordinate’s face showed shock, "The Demon Race team instantly collapsed under the impact of this group of Great Demons, suffering heavy casualties and death, while the entire Third Team took the opportunity to continue hunting and killing. They fought all the way close to the Demon Race main camp before they stopped, with virtually no casualties..."

Li Ke, with a grave expression, asked, "Where did that banner for summoning Great Demons come from?"

The subordinate shook his head, "I don’t know that, I just gathered this news near the defensive line."

Chen Quan waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave, his expression rather ugly.

When the First Corps set out for the front lines, Chen Quan had been very hopeful, because he already knew the current battle rules. Since it was a matter of drawing teams to fight, Lin Chen would inevitably be sent out by his maternal uncle.

With Lin Chen’s mere strength, amidst the chaos, he could very well meet his death. And his third-rate team wasn’t impressive either; they’d definitely be pulverized!

However, the outcome had slapped Chen Quan in the face hard. Who could have expected Lin Chen to hide such a powerful trump card?

Li Ke’s face was filled with disbelief, "He’s just a Daluo Ultimate Immortal, yet commands fifty Great Demons comparable to Daluo Initial Immortals. By what right?"

Chen Quan’s face was cold as he responded, "Does it matter now?"

Li Ke furrowed his brows, then lowered his voice and said, "Could it be that the Magical Treasure is a reward from the Hall Master? Given his weak strength and the fact he’s a meritorious figure, maybe the Hall Master was afraid he would die, so he gave him a Magical Treasure to save his life?"

Chen Quan thought about it, then shook his head and said, "It’s possible, but unlikely."

Li Ke didn’t ask why, but rather asked worriedly, "No matter where his Magical Treasure came from, this kid is tougher to deal with than we thought. What do we do next?"

Chen Quan’s face darkened. "No wonder Zhou Daocang made his move before, but Lin Chen remained completely unscathed. Lin Chen has hidden his cards deeply indeed!"

Pausing briefly, Chen Quan turned to look at Li Ke, "We don’t know anything, we didn’t do anything, and we won’t do anything... Understand?"

Li Ke naturally understood, and said with displeasure, "Just like that?"

Chen Quan snorted coldly, "By staging that act, he’s now the center of attention in the entire War God Mansion. If we continue to target him, we’ll be playing with fire. Besides, with so many subordinates supporting him and fifty strong Great Demons at his side, even if you want to go after him, how would you do it?"

Li Ke’s expression stiffened, with nothing to say.

Indeed, this is in the military camp, surrounded by powerhouses, and he himself commands so many Great Demons. How indeed could they confront him?

Hopeless!

Previously, due to his title of meritorious warrior upon entering the War God Mansion, Lin Chen had already left our group with lost dignity. Now, after gaining renown from a single battle, not only the War God Mansion but also the entire Demon Race knows of him – a youth of modest strength who can command fifty Great Demons to fight for him. With such a famed reputation, to continue opposing him would be asking for trouble, wouldn’t it?

Although Chen Quan made his decision, his heart burned with fire, filling him with agonizing frustration.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Ke spoke with reluctance, "We’ve been thoroughly humiliated by him, can we really let it go at that?"

Chen Quan replied with icy eyes, "Of course we won’t let it go just like that. However, now isn’t the right time to trouble him further. We’ll bide our time and wait for another opportunity!"

"This war has only just begun. There will be opportunities!"

Li Ke could only nod in agreement, helpless. Although he and Chen Quan held positions of status, some things they couldn’t afford to do too brazenly, too excessively, for the other party was not some nameless figure they could bully at will.

If things escalated, no one could suppress it!

"What about your uncle..."

Chen Quan softly said, "I will send a message to my uncle, telling him to temporarily drop his pursuit of Lin Chen, to avoid attracting unwanted attention."

Seeing the unwilling look on Li Ke’s face, Chen Quan reassured him softly, "Although we’ve indeed lost face, at least for now we haven’t done anything concrete, and we’re not deeply mired. My uncle had every reason to send him to battle, so as long as we endure for a while, we won’t be connected to him."

"Zhou Daocang once sent men to deal with Lin Chen, but Lin Chen emerged unharmed. Although Lin Chen didn’t retaliate, who knows what he’s planning in his heart. If anyone should panic, Zhou Daocang is far more anxious than us at the moment..."
