Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3032 - 3052: A Fuse?

Lin Chen and his companions did not have to wait long before a military force brimming with murderous intent appeared on the horizon.

The third squad quickly formed into a battle formation, ready to strike.

Zhou Wu, looking at the frightful aura of the third squad, felt shocked in his heart. Was the strength of the Immortal Realm so formidable?

Was the combat capability of a lowest-ranked thousand-man team actually this terrifying?

Such a powerful Immortal Realm legion was defeated?

"Everyone, no panic, this is the military of the Great Wilderness Palace."

The military approached with the wind, like Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, a dark and dense mass floating above the sky, led by Qi Shouzhen, the Left General of the Great Wilderness Palace.

Qi Shouzhen was of impressive stature, with a resolute and stern face, and his sharp eyes surveyed the third squad arrayed in battle formation.

Zhou Wu stepped forward and reported the situation to Qi Shouzhen, whose tight facial expressions gradually relaxed a little.

Qi Shouzhen flew forth, hovering in front of Lin Chen and the others.

"I am Qi Shouzhen, the Left General of the Great Wilderness Palace. Have you come here to join the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Lin Chen bowed and gave his name, "We wish to join forces with the Great Wilderness Palace to combat the Demon God Temple. I wonder if the Great Wilderness Palace is willing to accept us?"

Qi Shouzhen spoke gravely, "The Great Wilderness Palace has no relations with the Immortal Realm. Whether we accept you or not, that is for the Palace lord to decide. You may first return to the Great Wilderness Palace to meet the Palace lord."

Lin Chen nodded calmly, "Will we be safe if we enter the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Lin Chen’s question came because inside the Great Wilderness Palace, there was actually controversy over the Human Clan.

Initially, when the Eighteen Ancestors entered the Great Wilderness Palace, they too weren’t accepted at first. It was only after a Space Quasi-Saint who led them helped the Great Wilderness Palace greatly that they accepted the Eighteen Ancestors and now had a considerable number of Human Clan branches in the palace.

Now that the Immortal Demon Channel was permanently sealed, fusing the Immortal and Demon Worlds into one, there had also been debates within the Great Wilderness Palace on whether to take the initiative to ally with the Immortal Realm against the Demon God Temple.

Supporters argued that we were nearly being crushed to death by the Demon God Temple; why care about whether they’re of the same race or not when we’re enemies to begin with? Allying with the enemy of our enemy to overturn our opponent is a perfectly normal tactic, isn’t it?

Opponents stated that the feud between the Great Wilderness Palace and the Demon God Temple was an internal conflict of the Demon Race. If the Great Wilderness Palace were to collude and ally with the Immortal Realm, it would be akin to betraying our own kind, not only shameful but also likely to provoke a terrifying backlash from the Demon God Temple, or even the wrath of a Saint.

The two factions argued endlessly, with no victory or defeat concluded, and decided to temporarily put the matter aside since the Immortal Demon Channel stayed in the hands of the Demon God Temple. Even if the Great Wilderness Palace wanted to ally with the Immortal Realm, the conditions for an alliance simply weren’t available!

If they couldn’t even form an alliance, what was there to argue about?

Isn’t that like a couple imagining how to spend their lottery jackpot, only to end up in a dispute that leads to a divorce?

Given that the Great Wilderness Palace already harbored many from the Human Clan, even if a few scattered Immortal Realm troops fled to the Great Wilderness Palace, they would be taken in; after all, a few scattered soldiers didn’t represent much and couldn’t change anything. This was also why Lin Chen, upon entering the Great Wilderness Palace alone previously, was treated amicably.

However, now Lin Chen had brought out the entire third squad. This was a formal Immortal Realm army, and though their numbers were indeed fewer and incomparable to a legion, they were not like the few scattered fleeing soldiers.

Under such circumstances, would they still be warmly received by the Great Wilderness Palace, happy to join forces?

Would they worry about angering the Demon Emperor and dare not accept the third squad or even act against them?

Qi Shouzhen frowned slightly, his tone turning slightly cold, "Regardless of the final decision of the Palace lord, in light of your four battles today, the Great Wilderness Palace will naturally treat you as guests. There is no need to worry about your safety."

Lin Chen smiled, "That’s good to hear. I would also like to meet with the Palace lord of the Great Wilderness Palace and talk to him in person."

Qi Shouzhen waved his hand, "Zhou Wu, lead them back to the Great Wilderness Palace."

Zhou Wu took the command, "Yes."

Lin Chen’s eyes fell on the formidable Great Wilderness Palace troops in the distance, inquiring, "May I ask General Qi, are you preparing to continue attacking the enemy’s defensive positions?"

Qi Shouzhen nodded, "You have already torn a sizable gap in their defenses, whether you are of the Human Clan or the Desert People, this account will certainly be attributed to the Great Wilderness Palace. Since the fight is on, might as well completely shatter their defensive line!"

"Our Great Wilderness Palace has concealed our light and bided our time for so long, always waiting for an opportunity. Now happens to be the right moment to display the true strength of our palace, lest the Demon God Temple think we’re an easy target!"

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened. From Qi Shouzhen’s words, could it be that the Great Wilderness Palace was much stronger than what they seemed?

A show of weakness to the enemy?

Now that the Demon God Temple and the Immortal Realm were locked in an indistinguishable combat, with the Demon Domain’s forces depleted, was the Great Wilderness Palace prepared to reveal the fierce teeth they had concealed for a long time to deliver a harsh blow to the Demon God Temple?

Had the actions of the third squad today become the fuse?
