Urban Peerless Expert-Chapter 1916 - 1936: Who Do You Think You Are?_1

Lin Chen was very annoyed.

There are seven seats at the Demon Clan Roundtable Meeting on the Heavenly Demon Continent, but aren’t you from Hundred Monster Door not among them?

Even Su Quan, the chief lord of Heavenly Fox Palace, wouldn’t dare to treat me with such an attitude. You, just a mere elder of the Hundred Monster Door, act so arrogantly, disregarding the Immortal Palace. Who gave you the courage?

The faint smile originally on Lin Chen’s face disappeared. He said indifferently: "I’m sorry, but the Immortal Palace has some things to understand from the mermaid. I was just about to take him back to the Immortal Palace. Whatever grievances you Hundred Monster Door have with him, I suggest you wait until after the Immortal Palace’s matters are concluded to discuss."

The mermaid looked surprised, a glimmer of hope appearing in his formerly desperate eyes.

He certainly didn’t expect Lin Chen would speak up in his defense. After all, if he were to die, wouldn’t Lin Chen be free of his promise to him?

The old man’s face changed drastically, his eyes becoming cold: "How dare you meddle and protect this mermaid! I must remind you that this is the Heavenly Demon Continent, not the Immortal Palace!"

Lin Chen sneered coldly, his voice suddenly becoming harsh and vigorous. His arrogance rose instantaneously: "Does the Immortal Palace need your Hundred Monster Door’s approval to interrogate someone? Even the Palace lord of the Heavenly Fox Palace wouldn’t dare speak to me with such an attitude. You, an elder of the Hundred Monster Door, think you are so important? With such an attitude and disregarding the authority of the Immortal Palace, you want the Hundred Monster Door to be annihilated?"

Lin Chen’s rebuke reverberated through the skies, all the disciples of Hundred Monster Door’s faces changing drastically, with anger rising in their eyes.

Lin Chen is practically grinding the Hundred Monster Door’s face into the ground!

However, as angry as everyone was, none of them dared to utter a word.

While the Immortal Palace doesn’t involve itself in the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Continent, it doesn’t mean that the Immortal Palace isn’t powerful. The Domain Lord who unified the Thunder Immortal Domain had to have incredible strength. Who would willingly submit if they weren’t sufficiently strong? freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

The Immortal Palace not involving itself in the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Continent doesn’t mean it lacks the power to wipe out the Hundred Monster Door!

All those present had their eyes trained on the elderly man, as he was the one they respected.

The elder’s face turned red, his eyes full of rage. He had never imagined that Lin Chen would confront him so directly and publicly humiliate him.

Thinking himself important?

That simple sentence sent the elder tumbling into an abyss of embarrassment. If he did nothing today, he would lose face completely. Not just today, every subsequent time this issue was mentioned, he would suffer humiliation.

Although everyone could understand his predicament – given that the other party was an envoy from the Immortal Palace with special status – who asked him to be humiliated?

We are the independent citizens of the Heavenly Demon Continent. We are the demon race!

With gritted teeth, the elder stared at Lin Chen: "Even if you are a special envoy from the Immortal Palace, you should be reasonable. This mermaid killed our Hundred Monster Door’s disciple. It is only natural that he should be executed by us for revenge!"

Lin Chen scoffed at the elder’s statement: "When I was polite, you treated me as incapable. Now that I take a firm stance, you want to reason with me, huh?"

Huh!

That nonchalant laughter, filled with indescribable mockery, made people feel a lingering sense of humiliation.

Lin Chen couldn’t be bothered to deal with the elder. He pointed at the mermaid below: "I know you demon race of the Heavenly Demon Continent are used to roaming freely, thinking that the Immortal Palace is too far to reach you. But let me make this clear: this mermaid is wanted by the Immortal Palace. Anyone who dares to make a move on him is making an enemy of the Immortal Palace. If you’re not afraid of having your door annihilated, then give it a try!"

Lin Chen’s words were definite, domineering and staunch.

As a special envoy of the Immortal Palace, now that he had revealed his identity, he represented the Immortal Palace. If he retreated today, wouldn’t the Immortal Palace appear weak?

If he backed off, who knew what this group of people would turn the story into!

Lin Chen could not bear to engage in underhanded ways such as watching the mermaid be killed so that he could get out of fulfilling the trade agreement.

Since the mermaid helped him just now, he couldn’t just stand by and watch him get killed.

If it were beyond his capabilities, that would be a different story, but since he was capable, he had to stand up and protect him.

The elder was caught in a dilemma, to act or not to act?

This guy was just a special envoy. Did he really have such great authority?

If he punished him, would the Immortal Palace really dispatch a powerhouse to take action against Hundred Monster Door on his behalf?

Upon second thought, the elder realized that if the people from the Immortal Palace forcefully intervened in the affairs of the Heavenly Demon Continent and oppressed the Hundred Monster Door, it could escalate into a serious issue.

If the Immortal Palace could suppress the Hundred Monster Door today, it could suppress the Heavenly Fox Palace tomorrow!

The Heavenly Demon Continent had an unspoken agreement: they resolved internal issues on their own, but united in resistance against the rule of the Immortal Palace. So if that day were to come, the Demon Clan Roundtable Meeting would definitely not stand by and watch.

Reflecting upon this, the elder’s heart grew bolder.

Even if he offended Lin Chen, if there were real trouble, the other demon races wouldn’t stand by and do nothing.

I’m not afraid of you!

Yes, I dare not kill you, but I can always block you, right?

As long as I block you, as the rest of us kill this mermaid, what can you do?

With this thought, the old man waved his hand and pointed at a few people on his left: "You, block them, the rest of you, immediately move, execute the mermaid!"

At the shout of the elder, the disciples of the Hundred Monster Door’s eyes lit up, their gaze hot. They quickly divided into two groups, one surrounding the mermaid while the other charged towards Lin Chen.
