Lin Chen's strength is not low, neither is his status nor his fame, but the attendees at this banquet hall could be said to be the big shots of the entire Immortal Realm, Lin Chen can't compare with these people.

Lin Chen sat next to Jiang Yunfeng, quietly enjoying the delicacies, quietly watching the drama unfold.

Today's drinking party was for celebrating military achievements, with numerous participants, but the core is clearly the three disciples of the Immortal Emperor.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch sat in the Master's position, chatting with the three, guiding the topic of conversation in the hall.

This was the first time Lin Chen saw Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, as a Hall Master, showing such a low posture, but thinking of the three's identities, he was relieved.

With guests of such noble status, naturally, the topics revolved around them, whether it was Shepherd Heavenly Monarch or other guests attending the banquet, they all inadvertently talked about the past glorious deeds of people like the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, with words full of admiration.

Witnessing this "official drinking party," Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh that even immortals, strong enough to be quasi-saints, still couldn't escape the atmosphere of flattery at the wine table.

While Lin Chen was reflecting, he suddenly heard Qingluan Immortal Monarch above speak up: "I heard that previously, a small team from the First Corps of the War God Mansion became trapped in the Demon World during an attack and returned safely after several years. Is there such a matter?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch smiled slightly: "Indeed, that small team, though cast away in the Demon World, did manage some significant feats, causing substantial trouble to the Demon God Temple and indirectly relieving our frontline pressure."

Qingluan Immortal Monarch chuckled: "Oh? That impressive? Please do tell."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch did not decline, and succinctly narrated the events that were led by Lin Chen's Third Squad.

Many in the hall had heard of Lin Chen's deeds, but the details were unclear; now that they were listening, everyone was quite amazed.

A small team of a thousand managed to stir up so much trouble?

To join the Great Wilderness Palace, to contend with the Demon God Temple, to gain the trust of the Palace leader of the Great Wilderness Palace, and even get assistance from the Great Wilderness Saint to return to the Immortal Realm?

That's quite impressive.

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch praised: "This Small Team Captain is truly impressive, a meritorious individual indeed. I would like to meet him if the opportunity arises."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch laughed: "What a coincidence, that Small Team Captain Lin Chen happens to be here."

Sea Burning Immortal Monarch laughed out loud: "He is? That's fantastic, I'll have to drink three cups with him!"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch's gaze fell on Lin Chen, who was sitting quietly, and with a smile said: "The First Corps was severely damaged and almost disestablished, but thanks to Lin Chen's Third Squad, there is now hope for reconstruction. For his outstanding military merits, he has been promoted from the Small Team Captain to Vice Corps Commander of the First Corps."

"Lin Chen..."

Since Shepherd Heavenly Monarch had named him, Lin Chen naturally couldn't just sit there any longer; he stood up neatly and bowed his hands in greeting.

"Vice Corps Commander Lin Chen of the First Corps, greeting the three Immortal Monarchs!"

The gaze of Seven-colored, Qingluan, and Sea Burning fell on Lin Chen, scrutinizing him.

Qingluan, smiling, picked up the wine glass: "Not to mention anything else, you dared make a move against the Demon God Temple, destroyed the Demon Saint Valley, and even escaped from under the Demon Emperor's nose. Just for this courage and skill, I must toast to you!"

Lin Chen raised his wine glass: "The Immortal Monarch flatters me; at that time I merely had a lucky escape, and even I broke out in a cold sweat."

Lin Chen drained his cup, and just as he set it down, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch next to him followed up quickly by asking: "Vice Captain Lin, I'm very curious, how exactly did you escape from right under the Demon Emperor's nose? Could you elaborate?"

After pausing for a moment, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch added with a smile: "I'm not doubting you, just purely curious. After all, we're equally curious about the Demon Emperor and hope to learn more about him, or rather, the methods to avoid him."

Lin Chen felt a shiver in his heart. He had relied on the Linglong Tower to evade the Demon Emperor's detection, but that was something he absolutely could not reveal.

Lin Chen looked at the Jade Star Lord and noticed that he was sitting quietly at the table, holding a wine glass, his eyes fixated on it as if he was deep in thought or as if there was something fascinating inside the glass that had caught his attention.

Thinking of what the Jade Star Lord had said to him, Lin Chen replied: "I once received a Magical Treasure Qiqiao Hall from Senior Jade Star Lord that has its own space, capable of concealing millions of people and isolating all external sensations. On my journey here, I've escaped danger multiple times with this treasure."

"At that time, when we went to the Demon Saint Valley, due to the great danger, the master of the Great Wilderness Palace gave me a Talisman, saying it could mask my aura, whether it's people or magical treasures, either could be concealed."

"When the Demon Saint Valley exploded, causing a huge impact, it broke through the barrier of the Demon God Temple. Seizing the opportunity, I escaped. Knowing that running away wasn't realistic, I put everyone else into the Qiqiao Hall. I myself then used the Earth Escape technique to burrow deep into the ground, I stuck the talisman on the Qiqiao Hall and also entered it, then I stayed inside for a very long time."

"During that period, I indeed felt the powerful Divine Sense of the Demon Emperor sweep over us, but probably due to the talisman combined with the Qiqiao Hall, the Demon Emperor did not discover us. After waiting a long while, I guessed that the search above ground had already stopped, and that's why I revealed myself from the depths and distanced myself using Earth Escape..."

As Lin Chen spoke, his eyes were on the three above. Indeed, when Lin Chen mentioned the Jade Star Lord, all three of them showed a momentary subtle emotion in their eyes.

Lin Chen felt delighted inside, it seemed the rumors were true; this White Cloud Star Lord might really be a disciple of the Immortal Emperor!

Otherwise, why would the three show such a subtle expression?

The Jade Star Lord looked up, giving Lin Chen a glance with arguably a subtle look.

When you spoke to me earlier, you did not mention this talisman!

Lin Chen was not worried about being found out, after all, when he spoke with the Jade Star Lord before, he had mentioned that in addition to the Qiqiao Hall, he had used other methods; now mentioning this talisman just matches the story, doesn't it?

As for whether the talisman exists?

Unless the Palace lord of the Great Wilderness Palace comes out personally to deny it, no one can say my words are false!

Zhuang Susu is still in the military camp, and this matter has nothing to do with her, naturally, she wouldn't come to expose me.

Among cultivators, who doesn't have their secret techniques?

After hearing the story, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch laughed: "So it was like that. The talisman given to you by the master of the Great Wilderness Palace must have come from the Great Wilderness Saint. Coupled with that magical treasure, it's no wonder you were able to deceive the Demon Emperor."

"Lin Chen, you are so young and yet capable of such great feats, truly remarkable. I'm someone who greatly admires talented youths; with limitless future potential. Let's have a chat alone later, I'm very curious about your adventures in the Demon World."

When the people in the hall heard the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch say this, their gazes toward Lin Chen were filled with a bit more envy.

An exclusive invitation from the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch!

Even though the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch gives a plausible reason, wanting to hear the details of Lin Chen's adventure in the Demon World, the invitation itself reveals too much confidence.

Is the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch taking a liking to Lin Chen, preparing to take him under his command?
