"Dawn Camp?"

Shangguan Wenyin said with a laugh, "Have we been incorporated by the Great Wilderness Palace?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, from now on, we are the natives of the desert people, descendants of the Eighteen Ancestors, one of the military troops that Great Wilderness Palace has strategically raised in concealment over recent years. Our unit is known as Dawn Camp."

"We report directly to the Palace Lord, following his orders and fighting alongside the desert people. We might also undertake some special operations. In short, for the time being, this is our new home."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Though they had been hiding in the Qiqiao Hall, they still felt uneasy at heart. After all, being in the Demon World, danger lurked around every corner.

Now, at last, they had found a sanctuary. With the Great Wilderness Palace as a protective canopy for everyone, they no longer had to feel as insecure as before. Not to mention, at the very least, they didn’t have to worry about being casually extinguished by a saint.

It had to be said that the saints were indeed too powerful; the actual gap between the saints and those below them was a chasm that could not be bridged by mere numbers.

The Great Wilderness Palace occupied a corner of the Black Sky Demon Domain, and the power of the Demon God Temple was many times that of the Great Wilderness Palace. If the Demon God Temple really decided to obliterate the Great Wilderness Palace, they might only need to exert a fraction of their strength, and with a casual strike, the Great Wilderness Palace would turn to ashes.

Why didn’t the Demon God Temple do this?

Wasn’t it because the Great Wilderness Palace had a Great Wilderness Saint?

If they completely annihilated the Great Wilderness Palace, angering the Great Wilderness Saint to emerge from seclusion, it was feared that the entire Demon World would run with blood, and possibly the entire Demon Domain would be shattered!

In the war between the Immortal and Demon Worlds, millions from the Human Clan and Demon Race fought on the battlefield. Yet, the victory tipped towards the Demon Race just because they gained a Little Demon Emperor, Cheng Tuo.

The majesty of the saints was truly fearsome!

Lin Chen pulled a chair to the center of the barracks and sat down, turning his head to Bai Manmei, who had been obediently following him, and said with a smile, "What do you think?"

Without any hesitation, Bai Manmei knelt on one knee, bowed, and said, "Please spare my life. I am willing to serve loyally. I will prove my worth!"

Lin Chen replied with a laugh, "For now, you’ll be my personal guard."

Bai Manmei breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the role respectfully, "Yes!"

Bai Manmei was fairly strong. Since her life was in Lin Chen’s hands, he wasn’t worried about her causing trouble.

Moreover, Lin Chen might need to travel through the Demon World later on. Having a member of the high ranks of the Mercenary Association from the Demon Race by his side could reduce a lot of trouble.

Once everyone was settled, Lin Chen went alone, once again, to the main hall where the human tribes lived.

Like always, Mr. Qi was lying on his lounge chair, a book in his hands that he read with rapt attention.

Lin Chen approached Mr. Qi and respectfully saluted, "Senior!"

Mr. Qi looked up, saw Lin Chen, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You’re quite capable. I must say I misjudged you..."

Lin Chen apologized with a smile, "I was hiding my identity before, as the demons were present. They would recognize my name. Please forgive me, Senior."

Mr. Qi put down his book, extended his hand, and a chair appeared in front of Lin Chen, "Sit and talk."

Lin Chen, not being one to stand on ceremony, thanked him and took a seat crisply.

Mr. Qi asked with a smile, "Your identity?"

Lin Chen replied, "Team leader of the Third Squad, Ninth Division, First Corps of the War God Mansion."

Mr. Qi frowned and said, "Squad leader? Those demons should not have gone to the battlefield, so how do they know your name?"

Lin Chen explained the whole situation, including how he thwarted the demons’ transmission strategy and made a name for himself on the battlefield.

Mr. Qi looked at Lin Chen with surprise, "So, you are a great hero of the Immortal Realm. If their plan had succeeded, the Immortal Realm would have surely fallen into chaos, with unthinkable consequences!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "It seems that Heaven is still on the side of the Human Clan."

Mr. Qi exclaimed, "No wonder you are hiding your identity. If this gets out, there will definitely be Quasi-Saints from the Demon Race coming to kill you... "

Lin Chen replied, "Those who knew the inside story have all been taken down by me. Even if the Demon Race learns of this matter in the future, at most I will just have a common name. After all, I am now a bona fide person of the Desert People!"

Mr. Qi asked, "Did you come to see me because you want to ask something?"

Lin Chen nodded, "I’m just inquiring about the matter of the Eighteen Ancestors. I may pay a visit to one of them later."

Mr. Qi stared at Lin Chen, "Who?"

Lin Chen replied, "Lv Shuyi."

Mr. Qi rubbed his chin, "Do you have a relationship with her?"

Lin Chen explained, "There is a Senior, whose daoist couple was friends with her previous daoist couple. Entrusted by that Senior, I am visiting her to ask some questions."

Mr. Qi thought for a moment, "Her daoist couple? Huo Tianyu?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes."

Huo Tianyu was the former owner of the Yin Yang Water Fire Mirror and also a close friend of True Person Tai Xu.

Without waiting for Mr. Qi to ask, Lin Chen took the initiative to add, "The Senior who entrusted me is True Person Tai Xu. I don’t know if Mr. Qi has heard of him?"

"Him?"

Mr. Qi nodded, "Of course, I’ve heard of him. At that time, besides Mei Mingzhi, he was the most famous for excelling in spatial traversal. It was said that they even considered having him lead the team, but in the end, Mei Mingzhi volunteered for the dangerous mission, taking it upon himself... How is he now?"

Mei Mingzhi was the Senior who led the team into the Demon World to investigate. He was skilled in spatial traversal, and True Person Tai Xu once said that Mei Mingzhi’s accomplishments in spatial traversal were no less than his own.

When True Person Tai Xu said this, it had already been ten to twenty thousand years since that time. He should be comparing the present Mei Mingzhi with Mei Mingzhi from back then, which means that Mei Mingzhi might have been even stronger at the time.

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "A famed space divine ability user in the Immortal Realm, part of the top stream among quasi-saints. He participated in this war, too, but I’m not clear about his current situation. At that time, the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation scattered everyone."

Mr. Qi sighed, "No matter how powerful a quasi-saint is, they only have one path - defeat - against a Saint. At best, they have a bit more ability to escape."

Mr. Qi’s face showed a bitter nostalgia, "Back then, the eighteen of us broke through the Immortal Demon Channel and immediately faced a massacre by numerous powerhouses in the main camp. Fortunately, Mei Mingzhi was prepared and led us to break through space and waste no time escaping."

"No matter how strong an individual is, they seem incredibly insignificant against the backdrop of the Immortal Demon War. We tried many ways, but we still could not return. While the Immortal Demon Channel was open and the two worlds were connected, we had to pass through the Immortal Demon Channel. Spatial traversal cannot bypass the space passage."

Mr. Qi paused, "Previously, how the Demon World sent people to the Immortal Realm when the Immortal Demon Channel was not yet open, I am also curious about that. If there’s a chance, you could investigate. If we understand it, maybe we can bypass the Immortal Demon Channel and return directly to the Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen nodded, "I’ll keep that in mind. If there’s an opportunity, would you all go together, Senior?"

Mr. Qi was silent for a few seconds, then said with a wry smile, "I suppose it’s too late for that... "

Lin Chen frowned and asked softly, "Is it that you cannot go, or that you do not wish to go?"
