Chapter 1922: Chapter 1942: How about giving me some face and changing the city, huh?"_1

The mosquito swarm parted, allowing Lin Chen and his companion to move forward. They quickly passed through the sky-full of mosquitoes and arrived at Cangyun City.

The outer city of Cangyun had already been conquered. All the creatures that didn’t escape in time, including people, livestock, and pets, had been turned into mummified corpses—it was an awfully terrifying scene.

In the direction of the inner city, a colossal spiritual energy shield was shimmering, bearing the onslaught of countless mosquitoes.

"There are still people holding on; we didn’t arrive too late," Lin Chen commented.

They continued towards the inner city, the swarm of mosquitoes along the path parting before them, allowing them free passage.

"He intentionally let us enter to meet up with those inside," Lin Chen inferred.

Purple Cloud Immortal Lord sneered, "He probably wants to use the people inside to hold us back, or perhaps he plans to catch us all in one net."

Looking at the vast swarm of mosquitoes surrounding him, Lin Chen chuckled, "Then it miscalculated."

With the Linglong Tower on his side, it didn’t matter how numerous or massive the mosquitoes were, could they still bite him?

Should they still dare to suck?

They made their way to the inner city, standing just outside the light shield.

Through the light shield, they could see that the inner city was packed with people—residents of the city who couldn’t flee in time.

A massive Array Pile was placed at the center of the inner city, from which the light shield originated. Around it were demon cultivators, each one seated cross-legged and looking tense.

"Friends inside, is Nalan Wushuang from the Heavenly Fox Palace here?" Lin Chen suddenly asked, attracting the attention of those inside. All eyes landed on him—surprised and worried.

Lin Chen and his companion were not under attack from any mosquitoes—a puzzling sight to behold.

"Who are you? Are you in league with the Mosquito Monster?"

Lin Chen showed his Immortal Palace Order, "I am Lin Chen, Special Envoy of the Immortal Palace. Is Nalan Wushuang here?"

An Immortal Palace Special Envoy?

The numerous demon cultivators exchanged puzzled glances.

The Immortal Palace doesn’t usually intervene in matters of the Heavenly Demon Continent, so why suddenly did an envoy from them come here, and why did he appear in this place?

Near the Array Plate, a dignified middle-aged man replied solemnly, "In order to cover for civilians to evacuate, we fought with the Mosquito Monster. Nalan sustained injuries..."

Lin Chen frowned, understanding—he realized that the many powerhouses of the Heavenly Fox Palace had battled with the Mosquito Monster, which was what allowed the people to escape.

"How badly is she injured?"

The middle-aged man sighed, "Her injuries are serious. On top of that, she’s greatly exhausted her spiritual Qi and is currently unconscious."

With concealed curiosity, the middle-aged man asked, "Why aren’t those mosquitoes attacking you?"

Lin Chen replied, "I just created fire, they’re probably afraid I’ll burn them to death. Can you lower the Protective Shield for me to go in and check? I’m an old friend of Nalan Wushuang’s. I visited the Heavenly Fox Palace a few days ago and met your lord."

The middle-aged man hesitated, "If I temporarily lower the Protective Shield, those mosquitoes will definitely take advantage of the opportunity to swarm in..."

Lin Chen nodded, "That makes sense. Then I won’t enter for now. Is Nalan Wushuang’s life in danger?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "There’s no immediate danger to her life, but these mosquitoes can absorb spiritual Qi. Our spiritual Qi is depleting rapidly; I’m afraid we can’t hold on for much longer."

Lin Chen looked up at the sky full of mosquitoes. Each one seemed to be watching him, waiting for his decision.

Summoning his courage, he spoke loudly, "Great Mosquito Demon, let’s negotiate. Since I’m an Immortal Palace Special Envoy - Lin Chen, I propose for the sake of my friend inside, why don’t you admit defeat? Once you withdraw, why not try attacking another city instead?"

Like a thunderbolt, Lin Chen’s words echoed in all directions.

The many demon cultivators inside the city exchanged strange glances.

This guy sure talks big!

Do you really think that monster will leave just because your friend is inside? And advise it to attack another city instead?

That’s an overstatement!

Could it really agree to his terms?

The mosquitoes blanketed the sky, making it look like night had fallen early. An icy voice suddenly echoed in the sky.

"Kid, do you think just because you can create fire, I can’t deal with you?! I simply let you in to kill you all at once!"

The voice resounded through Heaven and Earth. Lin Chen looked from left to right. The voice seemed to come from all directions, as if each mosquito was speaking. Each voice culminated into a resounding echo.

Laughing, Lin Chen said, "I’ll have you know, I’m not easily bullied. Your ability to divide yourself into millions may be extraordinary, but I don’t believe you can best me. If you push me too hard, I might capture you for questioning and find out how your ability to split yourself into millions was achieved, I’m quite interested in that."

Again the cold voice rose, brimming with mockery, "You really have a big mouth. Come on then, try to find my true body!"

Of course, Lin Chen had no way to find the true body. "I may not be able to find your true body, but I can burn as many of your bodies as you send my way. I don’t believe that your bodies are endless!"

With a roar of laughter the cold voice said, "Let’s see if you can burn all my bodies first, or if I can turn you into a mummy first!"

Holding the Water and Fire Mirror, Lin Chen laughed and said, "Let’s give it a try."

With Lin Chen’s words, the mosquitoes filled the sky and swarmed towards him. Without further ado, Lin Chen released the Sun’s True Fire.

In an instant, the Sun’s True Fire spread across the sky, enveloping several miles around them.

The blaze was monumental!
