Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3022 - 3042: You Betray Me The Moment We Meet?

The guides changed wave after wave, and each time they had to confirm the identities of Lin Chen, Bai Manmei, and others.

Stringent!

Lin Chen silently marveled in his heart, perhaps these people were the scouts spread around the outskirts by the Great Wilderness Palace?

Anytime a powerhouse passed by, it would alert these scouts, who would use special methods to send messages back.

Lin Chen could roughly imagine that different people would definitely be treated differently; the reason why his journey was smooth sailing could be his special identity within the Human Clan.

The Mercenary Association was a neutral organization, and the identities of Bai Manmei and the others were not forged, so these people did not have such a strong guard against our group.

After traveling for many days, Lin Chen and the others finally arrived at the Great Wilderness Palace.

The Great Wilderness Palace was built atop a continuous Snow Mountain peak, with a series of huge metal structures perfectly fused with the mountains, blanketed by the Snow, inseparable in appearance as if those majestic Main Halls had grown out of the mountain peaks themselves.

The guide had now become a guard of the Great Wilderness Palace; following the guard, Lin Chen asked casually, "Is this Great Wilderness Palace the Closed Door Cultivation place of the Great Wilderness Saint?"

The guard glanced sideways at Lin Chen and grunted affirmatively, "Yes."

The Great Wilderness Saint was actually here?

Deep within the Snow Mountains, or inside one of those dignified metal Main Halls?

Lin Chen was led by the guard to the entrance of one of the Main Halls, turned around and said, "This Main Hall is where those Immortals of the Human Clan reside. For the specific person you’re looking for, you can ask the guard of this Main Hall."

This Main Hall stood atop a Snow Mountain peak; the main body of the hall was at least a thousand meters high, yet compared to the entire majestic and precipitous Snow Mountain, it seemed like the pinnacle of the mountain.

At the entrance of the Main Hall was a reclining chair, and a white-haired Elder was leaning on it with his eyes closed, his demeanor relaxed, looking just like a Security guard at a factory gate basking in the Sun.

Following the guard down from midair, Lin Chen landed in front of the old man as the guard bowed and said, "Old Zhang, someone is here to see you."

The white-haired Elder opened his eyes, and Lin Chen promptly removed his hood, revealing his true face.

The white-haired Elder, upon seeing Lin Chen, his eyes brightened, "Young man, you’re quite handsome, where are you from?"

Lin Chen answered, "Immortal Realm, Crimson Immortal Domain."

The white-haired Elder’s brows furrowed slightly, "A routed soldier from the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation?"

Lin Chen replied, "Yes!"

The white-haired Elder asked, "How can you prove it?"

Lin Chen took out his Team leader emblem and placed it on the table in front of the white-haired Elder, "Before the Immortal Demon Channel opened, an Elder told me that during the twenty-first Immortal Demon war, there was a team of powerhouses that entered the Immortal Demon Channel and then vanished without a trace."

"May I ask the Senior, do the Immortals dwelling here belong to that team, or are they others?"

The white-haired Elder picked up the Team leader emblem and looked at it, then his gaze fell back on Lin Chen, "Who told you this?"

Lin Chen candidly replied, "True Person Tai Xu."

The white-haired Elder’s face showed a look of surprise, "Are you a disciple of True Person Tai Xu?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "No, but the senior favored me because I was pleasing to the eye, and took care of me, nothing more than that."

The white-haired Elder looked at the emblem in his hand, his eyes filled with complexity.

Nostalgia?

Sighing?

"I heard that your vanguard army that stormed into the Demon World suffered heavy casualties, with quite a few Quasi-Saints dead..." fгeewebnovёl.com

Lin Chen nodded, "Nearly 200,000 people entered the Demon World, but they fell into Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo’s trap. Most of them have died. I heard that over ten Quasi-Saints were killed, and most of the survivors are injured. It’s because of this that the Demon World managed to break through the entire defense line."

"At that time, when we burst in, an immortal suddenly appeared, giving a loud warning, which triggered the trap prematurely. Otherwise, the casualties in the Immortal Realm would have been even heavier. Does that immortal have anything to do with this place?"

The White-haired Elder nodded, "That kid had high talent, and I had high hopes for him, but I didn’t expect him to be gone just like that."

Lin Chen responded with solemn respect, "He was a true hero. Despite the risk to his own safety, he sounded the warning for thousands of miles. He was killed in the end. If it weren’t for his warning, our losses would probably have been much worse."

The White-haired Elder waved to the guard, "Alright, they’re with me now. You can go."

After the guard left, the White-haired Elder’s gaze fell on Bai Manmei and the others behind, "Who are they?"

"They’re from the Mercenary Association. They brought me here and also wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the condition of the Great Wilderness Saint..."

Lu Sen and the others widened their eyes in shock and anger. Kid, you just met us, and you’ve already sold us out?

Bai Manmei wasn’t panicked, though. Her life was in Lin Chen’s hands, and it was clear that Lin Chen had established a connection with the White-haired Elder. So her life should be safe.

Lu Sen?

If he has to die, then let him. Who asked him to follow along!

But the White-haired Elder did not have the excited reaction everyone anticipated, his expression indifferent as if nothing was strange, "There are plenty of people trying to find out about the Great Wilderness Saint. No one gets to see him, so how could they find out anything? It’s just a waste of effort."

Lu Sen was startled. That’s it?

In the Great Wilderness Saint’s domain, discussing snooping about the Great Wilderness Saint and no one cares?

Lu Sen couldn’t help but speak up, "Haven’t you been living here all the time, for who knows how long? Even you don’t know about the recent condition of the Great Wilderness Saint?"

The White-haired Elder curled his lip, "We, a bunch of people from the Human Clan, are just staying here under others’ charity. Do you think we get to see the Great Wilderness Saint and that he would tell us about his injuries and recovery?"

"For years, one wave after another of spies from the Demon God Temple has infiltrated in various guises, attempting to investigate by all means, yet no one has been successful. What makes you think you could succeed?"

Bai Manmei’s expression was subtle. She had bluffed about accepting a secret task to investigate the current status of the Great Wilderness Saint, yet she unexpectedly stumbled onto the right track.

The White-haired Elder’s words provided an out for her own reasoning, so whether she found anything in the future didn’t matter.

If the spies from the Demon God Temple couldn’t find out, it would be quite normal for me not to find out, wouldn’t it?

Lu Sen was unwilling to give up after coming such a long way for nothing.

The White-haired Elder didn’t feel like entertaining them and waved his hand, "This Main Hall is a residence for the Human Clan and does not welcome outsiders. If you don’t want to leave, go to the guest Main Hall to find a place to stay."

Bai Manmei naturally couldn’t leave and casually looked back, "I’ll find a place to stay and contact you later."

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright!"

Having followed Bai for so long, Lu Sen was naturally unwilling to leave without achieving anything. Resolute, he turned and followed Bai Manmei with his subordinates.

"You seem quite happy. He has found whom he was looking for and is out of your control now, and you have gained nothing. What are you so happy about?"

Bai Manmei turned back, smiling slightly, "Since everything is out in the open now, that means I can ask openly, without having to sneak around and without worrying about being captured. Perhaps I won’t find anything out, but at least I’ll be safe. Isn’t that worth being happy about?"
