Chapter 971: Chapter 991: Even if It’s a Dog, It’s a Dog of an Immortal’s Family_1

The counter Array Formation continued to operate, and it had been running for three days.

The bad news was that the Barrier still remained unchanged, but the good news was that the vast horde of demonic beasts outside had begun to disperse gradually.

People became anxious and interrogated the captured white-haired old man again.

"It’s useless. This Array Formation was created by an Immortal. How can a Cultivator break it?"

"I can’t do anything either. Even if you kill me, I can’t help. I actually lied in the beginning. Strictly speaking, we are not Immortals, otherwise, how could you have caught us?"

"The Immortal set up an Array Formation to suppress this hand and resurrected countless undead as guards, but they lacked sufficient wisdom, so he chose us and made a deal with us."

"We guard this hand for Ten Thousand Years, and in return, we gain the Immortal’s eternal lifespan. After Ten Thousand Years, he will guide us to the Immortal Realm and let us truly ascend to immortality and become real Immortals."

"Right now, we can only be considered Immortal Slaves. Otherwise, how could you take advantage of us?"

"If you want to break the Array Formation, you might as well give up that idea. I suggest you release me and leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Immortal comes, none of you will be able to escape. Killing you would be as easy for him as crushing ants."

The words of the white-haired old man added worry and fear to everyone’s eyes.

Can Immortals really come down?

Tang Fengkong asked in a deep voice: "How do you contact the Immortal?"

The white-haired old man replied, "He gave us a talisman. As long as we burn the talisman, he will know. Yan Chusheng has already burned the talisman."

The white-haired old man suddenly laughed maliciously, "Haha, if all goes well, you’ll be able to face him soon. But don’t get your hopes up. Even though you are all big shots of your sects, you are like ants in his eyes, nothing more than that in the Barren Wilderness."

"He’s not an ordinary Immortal. Even if you manage to ascend to immortality, you still couldn’t provoke him. Can you guess how he would treat a group of people intending to destroy his Array Formation and steal the body of the suppressed Immortal?"

Everyone’s faces changed dramatically.

The talisman has been burned?

So does that mean that the powerful Immortal has already been informed about the situation here? Does that also mean he’ll arrive soon?

Anxiety spread among the people’s hearts.

The entire mountain cave fell into a depressing silence for a moment.

"Why didn’t you mention this before?"

The white-haired old man chuckled, "You didn’t ask, and I didn’t lie. I genuinely cannot break this array barrier..."

"He’s stalling for time!"

Tang Fengkong said in a deep voice, "He wants to wait for the Immortal to arrive."

Everyone glared at the white-haired old man, and some people even started cursing loudly.

The white-haired old man gave a cold smile and remained silent.

Although he had been captured, he wasn’t afraid.

These people didn’t dare to kill him.

Even if he was a slave, a dog, he was still a dog belonging to an Immortal. Harming a dog should also take the master’s face into account. Who could bear the consequences of killing him?

The Immortal might not care about his life or death, but perhaps he would take action for the sake of his own face. So, even if there was only a slight possibility, these people wouldn’t dare to kill him.

Tang Fengkong was silent for a moment and then asked in a deep voice, "The Immortal Realm is far away, but since he is a powerful Immortal, and you burned the talisman three days ago, he should have arrived by now if he could come, right?"

The white-haired old man’s expression changed slightly. This was also something he was worried about.

Initially, the Immortal had said that without the talisman, he could arrive in an instant, but now three days had passed, and there was still no news.

What had happened during this time?

They hadn’t been in contact for tens of thousands of years, and they had never verified if the talisman was still valid. Had it expired?

Or maybe the Immortal had encountered some problems and was delayed?

Couldn’t he come?

The white-haired old man said coldly, "How can I guess the actions of an Immortal? Anyway, that’s what he told us initially."

When the white-haired old man said this bluntly, everyone became unsure.

Yes, who can predict the thoughts and actions of an Immortal?

The group of big shots gathered again and began to discuss in low voices.

Lin Chen decided to secretly test his guess.

Since he had come this far, he should at least give it a try.

Otherwise, wouldn’t his trip be in vain?

As for the consequences if something went wrong, someone taller would be taking the blame anyway, so it wouldn’t affect him.

After all, he was just a small Nascent Soul. Who would pay attention to him?

There were many barriers, and there were many people watching them closely. Lin Chen walked to a secluded corner and quietly took out the Water and Fire Mirror.

With the Art spell cast, the radiance of the Water and Fire Mirror shone, and a piece of firelight fell on the Barrier.

Although some people saw this scene, they didn’t care as everyone was free to try their own methods. The big shots didn’t stop them, they even encouraged it. Over the past few days, many people had tested their own methods, so Lin Chen wasn’t any different.

The Flames fell on the Barrier and quickly extinguished, seemingly having no effect. However, upon closer inspection, one would find that a small blood spot had fallen on the light curtain of the Barrier along with the Flames...
