Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 3021 - 3041: Has It Already Developed into a Family? Is It That Impressive?

Bai Manmei had been traveling with a complex mood.

Lin Chen saw it all and chuckled inwardly, guessing Bai Manmei must have regretted the decision to hunt and kill the two of them that day, her guts must be turning green.

Speaking of which, Bai Manmei really was unlucky. Among all the defeated soldiers of the First Corps, it was unlikely that any other could have captured her, but she just happened to run into them.

Chu Jiaxue was a Half-step Quasi-Saint, suppressing Bai Manmei easily. Moreover, even if Chu Jiaxue couldn’t hold her, there were Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian, she couldn’t have escaped.

Bai Manmei was young, strong, ambitious, skilled, and highly intelligent, only her luck was a bit lacking.

She must have been constantly calculating how to convince them to eventually spare her life?

As the group traveled westward, they moved away from the bustling central area of the continent, where the distances between cities grew further and the size of the cities shrank, and the wilderness became more desolate, teeming with various Demonic Beasts.

All the while, Lin Chen was mostly silent. Lu Sen occasionally tried to test the waters, but Bai Manmei resolved it, and the group continued onward, eventually reaching the Extreme West of the Black Sky Demon Domain.

"We are now within the influence of the Great Wilderness Palace, so as we discussed earlier, we are mercenaries you hired to protect you on your journey to find someone in the Great Wilderness Palace, ensuring your safety throughout the journey."

"We don’t know your identity, not even that you are from the Human Clan; our relationship is merely that of employer and hired..." frёeωebɳovel.com

Bai Manmei reiterated this, clearly directing it at Lu Sen and his companions, implying that they should stick to the agreement and not mess things up.

"Alright!"

Lu Sen nodded in agreement.

After another two days of travel, they were stopped by someone. The interceptors weren’t very strong; they were the kind that the group could easily eliminate with a simple motion.

The interceptors were two middle-aged men who surveyed the group briefly, their expressions turning solemn as they bowed and said, "I am Qian Heng from Black Cloud Ridge. May I ask where you all are coming from and where you are heading?"

Bai Manmei presented her mercenary identity card and politely said, "We are registered mercenaries with the Mercenary Association, escorting a client to the Great Wilderness Palace."

Qian Heng’s gaze lingered on Lin Chen. "Your Excellency is traveling to the Great Wilderness Palace. May I know your business there?"

Lin Chen calmly said, "Visiting a friend."

Qian Heng probed further, "May I know the name of Your Excellency’s friend so I can report your arrival in advance?"

Lin Chen asked, "Is Black Cloud Ridge a subordinate force of the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Qian Heng responded, "We are under the orders of the Demon God Temple, but since our sect is located here, some things are naturally not so absolute..."

Qian Heng’s vague response was clear to Lin Chen.

If you were to ask, then Black Cloud Ridge would be a local force staunchly supporting the Demon Emperor and following the orders of the Demon God Temple. If you didn’t ask, those underneath him would be doing work for forces under the Great Wilderness Palace.

It was just like the ancient principle of imperial authority not extending into the counties; nominally, they were the Emperor’s officials, following the Emperor’s orders, but in practice, it was a different story altogether.

"I heard there are a group of immortals from the Immortal Realm in the Great Wilderness Palace, and I am here to find them. Fellow cultivator Qian, you know of them, right?"

Qian Heng slightly frowned and sized up Lin Chen. "I do know. Seeing your stature, are you also from the Human Clan?"

Lin Chen nodded openly. "Within the influence of the Great Wilderness Palace, humans aren’t attacked on sight, right?"

Qian Heng laughed, "Elsewhere, you’d definitely be walking a path to death, but not here. Those immortals here are living quite well, many have even married and started families, becoming part of this place."

Lin Chen asked, "Are these marriages between immortals and immortals, or immortals and the Demon Race?"

Qian Heng answered, "Immortals and the Demon Race. Although the two clans differ, the differences are not that significant..."

Lin Chen felt a mix of emotions; he had initially thought they might be hiding in some safe place, secluded from the world, but to his surprise, they were openly living in the Great Wilderness Palace, even intermarrying with the Demon Race, and had established their families!

Impressive indeed!

"The atmosphere in the Great Wilderness Palace really is different from the outside world!"

Lin Chen casually remarked and laughed, "I’ve been concealing my identity all this time, fearing that someone would see through it, worried about being captured for rewards. Now that I’ve reached the Great Wilderness Palace, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Qian Heng asked, "Are you a military person from the Immortal Realm?"

Lin Chen replied, "I have some connections with a certain immortal who resides in the Great Wilderness Palace. I’m mainly here to find her and settle some trouble. Could you lead us there? I can pay you a reward."

"No need for a reward. Just take off your hat, and let me verify your identity."

Lin Chen removed his hat, and after examining him for a moment, Qian Heng nodded and said, "Follow me."

Lin Chen put his hat back on and followed behind Qian Heng.

After covering a significant distance, Qian Heng stopped, raised his hand, and shot out a Spell arrow.

Shortly after, two people flew towards them. Qian Heng spoke to them briefly, then with a smile said, "I can only take you this far. Follow them, and you’ll be fine..."
