Chapter 2962: Chapter 2982: We don’t want to be targeted, but we won’t shirk our responsibilities!

"Sect Master, why have they changed their attitude towards you so drastically? What did you do?"

"Yes, they seem to be quite frightened of you..."

Faced with the questioning of Chen Shuihe, Chi Ya, and others, Lin Chen didn’t conceal anything and told them about the issues with the Zhao family and Zhou Daocang.

Chen Shuihe and the others all widened their eyes in shock.

They all knew about the Zhao family’s previous assassination attempt on Lin Chen. They originally thought that perhaps at an appropriate time, Lin Chen would seek justice from the Hall Master, but what they didn’t expect was that they had completely underestimated Lin Chen.

It was one thing for Lin Chen to command the Group of Demons and annihilate the Zhao family—that was within expectations. But for Lin Chen to actively visit the Zhou Family and then kill Zhou Daocang in front of the Zhou family, that was quite exaggerated.

What kind of power was the Zhou Family?

Lin Chen was actually fearless and just went ahead and did it!

Didn’t he consider the consequences at all?

Chi Ya, worried, said, "The Zhou family is not simple, they..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Don’t worry. Although Zhou Daocang was a disciple of the Zhou Family and quite outstanding, he wasn’t even a direct grandson. I made myself very clear, the Hall Master will cover for me, and the Zhou Family won’t be foolish enough to turn against me over a disciple who isn’t that important to them."

"Even if someone does make a move against me, it will be at most Zhou Daocang’s parents or his closest blood relatives. Their actions can only represent themselves, not the Zhou family. As long as they dare come, I dare to kill. It’s no big deal since I am in the right over this matter."

Chi Ya and the others all knew that the Hall Master had said, "As long as you are in the right, I will not let you be wronged." Upon careful consideration, their originally tense hearts immediately relaxed.

With Lin Chen’s current strength, unless a Quasi-Saint made a move, who could kill him?

As long as Lin Chen couldn’t be taken out in an instant, he would be able to summon the Fifty Great Demons in the blink of an eye. Not to mention killing, avoiding being counter-killed would be impressive enough.

Chi Ya sincerely admired him and said, "Sect Master, did you tell this to the Team Leader?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I didn’t spell it out completely, but it’s clear that he understood."

Chi Ya immediately laughed, "No wonder Gao Ming and Chen Chong have changed their attitude towards you. With the lessons from the Zhao family and Zhou Daocang, even if the Team Leader is from the Kong family, he probably wouldn’t dare target you anymore. After all, no one can be sure whether, under targeting, you might just turn around and kill someone."

"If the Hall Master backs you up by saying you were in the right, wouldn’t his confrontation be in vain?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Our relationship hasn’t reached the point of fighting to the death, there’s absolutely no need to force it to the stage where both sides are destroyed. If he can be the Team Leader, he would surely understand these principles, wouldn’t he?"

Chen Shuihe let out a sigh of relief, and even his usually serious face couldn’t help but show a smile, "This is great news. Presumably, he won’t target the Sect Master or our third squad anymore. We don’t have to worry about being disadvantaged."

Xiong Yaxiong laughed heartily, "More than that. Before, his assignments for us in battle were clearly targeting us. Since he wants to mend fences, then under normal circumstances, not only will he not target us, he might even protect us."

Chi Ya said, "We also hope to prove ourselves on the battlefield. As long as we’re not targeted, we are willing to accept fair assignments, even if it means we might suffer heavy losses!"

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s the principle. We don’t want to be taken advantage of, but we’re not afraid of, nor do we avoid trouble. If it’s our battle to fight, we still need to step up!"

Chi Ya’s eyes shone as she said, "Wait until the next battle starts, Sect Master. If you achieve another great feat, and then you go to train in the Spirit Ascension Hall, maybe you’ll reach the Superior Prime level in no time... Sect Master, will you leave after the Immortal Demon War is over?"

Lin Chen was slightly stunned, "The end of the Immortal Demon War is still a long way off. Why are you asking about this now?"

Chi Ya said with eyes full of anticipation, "With the Sect Master leading us, we have a better future ahead."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Things in the future are too unpredictable, and I don’t know where I’ll be, rest assured, even if I really have to leave, I will make sure to take care of everyone’s future. Even if I’m no longer the Sect Master of the Haoran Sect, if anyone bullies you, I will definitely come back to deal with them!"

Lin Chen was only a Middle-Grade Great Luo Celestial Immortal, while everyone present was a Superior Prime Daluo Immortal; Lin Chen had the lowest realm among them, yet when he said this, it felt very natural.

He said it naturally, and everyone listened naturally, all with joyful expressions, as if they had received an important assurance.

Not a single person felt that with Lin Chen’s strength, he couldn’t do what he said, and everyone believed that Lin Chen absolutely had the capability!

"How’s the situation at the front recently?"

Chen Shuihe’s face became stern again as he said in a deep voice, "The speed at which the Immortal Demon Channel opens has increased a lot lately. Now a large number of Demon Race armies have arrived here, and the great battle is probably about to start right away!"

Lin Chen frowned, "The Immortal Demon Channel opening completely ahead of schedule?"

"Yes!"

Chen Shuihe’s eyes were filled with worry, "Although the interval between each Immortal Demon Great War has been shortening, the time for the opening and closing of the Immortal Demon Channel has always been stable. However, this time an accident occurred."

"According to the previous progress, at this point in time, the Immortal Demon Channel would have only opened to about one-third, or even less. But now it has opened to eighty percent; the situation is highly abnormal, yet the reason remains unclear."

"This time the Immortal Demon Great War might see some unexpected changes, and it’s likely to develop in a worse direction..."

Lin Chen, seeing the grim faces of the people, thought for a moment and then tried to comfort them, "We’ll meet the enemy head-on when they come and shore up our defenses when the waters rise. Cultivators are no weaker than the Demon Race, what is there to fear? If the Immortal Demon Channel opens quickly, maybe it will close quickly too."

Chi Ya sighed, "If only that were the case."

Lin Chen spoke in a solemn tone, "Don’t think too much, focus on preparing for battle! We’ve won twenty-seven times before, and this time will be no exception!"

The eyes of the people slightly brightened, all feeling inspired by Lin Chen’s words!

Indeed, among the previous twenty-seven Immortal Demon Great Wars, there were times when the defenses completely collapsed, but victory was ultimately achieved, wasn’t it?

No matter what, as long as they hold out for these two years, victory will still belong to the Immortal Realm!

With so many powerhouses in the Immortal Realm, could they not withstand just two years?

As long as the Immortal Demon Channel closes, no matter how many come, they will ultimately become isolated forces; even if they achieve temporary victories, they will be thoroughly eradicated when faced with the Immortal Realm’s counterattack.

If the Demon World wishes to win aside from possessing overwhelming and invincible combat power, they must also ensure one thing—that the Immortal Demon Channel no longer closes and the two realms permanently remain connected. Only in this way can the strength of the Demon World be continuously projected into the Immortal Realm, allowing them to capture cities and expand their territory unceasingly.

In the past twenty-seven Immortal Demon Great Wars, the closing of the Immortal Demon Channel has never failed, and this time, it was likely to be no exception.

Lin Chen, looking at the firm gaze of the people, relaxed slightly.

Morale is the most important thing for the military; to achieve victory, to avoid collapse, morale must not crumble!

After everyone left, Lin Chen sat in the chair, his brows slowly furrowing.

The Immortal Demon Channel, what on earth happened?
