Chapter 963: Chapter 963: Conspiracy Against Lin Chen

"You, you are simply inhumane!"

Yan Yue looked at Xue Yuanba with hatred cursing.

The Red Soul Hall has always acted brutally and unethically, completely devoid of humanity.

Xue Yuanba’s decision only proved this point.

However, what Yan Yue and others didn’t know was that in Xue Yuanba’s heart, he had long ceased to consider himself part of the Human Race and became a Blood Slave of the Black Demons.

To them, be it the Human Race or the Demon Race, all lives were merely fresh blood energy to be sacrificed to Lord Black Devil. Thus, in the eyes of these Blood Slaves, there was no such thing as being part of the Human Race.

Faced with the cruel and inhuman threat from Xue Yuanba, Yan Yue’s fists involuntarily clenched tight, but eventually he let go.

"I agree, let’s compete by the changed rules you propose."

Yan Yue eventually had to choose to compromise, even though these decisions were forced upon him by Xue Yuanba.

But if he didn’t make this choice, then the lives of the tens of millions of ordinary civilians would simply be lost to tragedy.

"Haha, that’s more like it."

Xue Yuanba laughed out loud.

Lin Chen watched Xue Yuanba expressionlessly, vowing in his heart that one day, he would completely eradicate these inhumane demon cultivators from existence.

Though Lin Chen did not yet possess that power today, he believed he would certainly have it in the future.

"Gentlemen, I have wronged you. I have no choice but to accept this rule."

Yan Yue’s gaze fell upon Lin Chen and other Heavenly Prides as he spoke with a hint of apology.

"What is Senior Yan talking about? As members of the Divine Flame Alliance, it is our duty to undertake such matters."

"It’s those heretical cultivators of the Demonic Path who are to blame."

"Senior Yan, rest assured, it’s not over yet. It’s still uncertain who will emerge victorious."

Han Feiyu and other Heavenly Prides saluted Yan Yue with a cupped fist and spoke in succession.

Xue Yuanba’s use of the lives of the common people as a threat provoked immense anger in everyone’s hearts, with an urge to slaughter all demon cultivators.

As the Heavenly Prides of the Divine Flame Alliance, they were naturally unafraid of entering the Grey Marsh Plain.

"Young Master Lin Chen, what do you think?"

At this moment, Yan Yue’s gaze fell on Lin Chen.

He cared greatly about Lin Chen’s attitude, as Lin Chen’s decision was key to the outcome of this contest.

If Lin Chen did not agree to this, it would be very difficult to win the competition.

And Yan Yue could not force Lin Chen to participate, especially since Lin Chen was accompanied by three Peak-level experts of the Nirvana Realm.

Entering the Grey Marsh Plain was like gambling with their lives after all, as anything could happen there at any moment.

If Lin Chen truly did not wish to participate, Yan Yue considered whether to let nine people join instead, but that would greatly reduce their chances of victory.

"Hehe, isn’t it just about entering the Grey Marsh Plain? Senior Yan, rest assured, with me here, we won’t lose this competition."

Lin Chen revealed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, looking at Yan Yue and spoke casually.

Lin Chen’s nonchalant demeanor momentarily startled Yan Yue.

It was as if Lin Chen was confident of an assured victory.

In fact, compared to the competition itself, entering the Grey Marsh Plain indeed suited Lin Chen better.

After all, Lin Chen’s Cultivation was only at the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Human Realm, and many of his battle techniques relied on external forces, utilizing Formation, Talisman Inscription, magic treasures, etc.

Had it been the usual competition, with many restrictions in place, Lin Chen might not be able to display his full strength.

But if he could enter the Grey Marsh Plain, that would be a different story.

Lin Chen could use various tactics, which would greatly increase his battle potential.

Seeing Lin Chen assure them like this, Yan Yue felt a sense of relief in his heart.

Among the top ten Heavenly Prides of the Eastern Domain, Lin Chen’s Cultivation was the lowest, only at the Ninth Level of the Heavenly Human Realm.

But Yan Yue knew that if he was not mistaken, Lin Chen’s combat power was actually the strongest among them, even surpassing Han Feiyu and Han Tianyu, the brothers from the Spirit Sword Sect.

After all, Lin Chen was probably the first in the history of the Eastern Domain to confront the Peak of the Nirvana Realm with only a Heavenly Human Realm Cultivation.

"Hehe, arrogant brat, I hope after entering the Grey Marsh Plain, you’ll still be so tough."

Xue Yuanba looked at Lin Chen with a cold gaze and spoke icily.

The proposal to change the rules was the result of a joint decision by many experts of the Red Soul Hall.

In the past battles between the Divine Flame Alliance and the Red Soul Hall, Lin Chen had played too crucial of a role, causing great losses to the Red Soul Hall.

Lin Chen’s role differed from that of Yan Yue and other elders, but it was more significant.

Because Lin Chen’s power of the Killing Formation was incredibly strong, providing significant aid to the Divine Flame Alliance forces against the Red Soul Hall.

Therefore, Lin Chen must die. The Red Soul Hall had dispatched powerful experts to eliminate Lin Chen more than once, but all attempts ended in failure.

Even Xue Yuanqing had been dispatched but ended up with his life on the line.

Xue Yuanba had also considered taking action personally.

But with his powerful aura, he would likely be detected by Yan Yue and other elders upon entering the Divine Flame Alliance’s territory, so there was simply no opportunity to act.

Thus, the true purpose of changing the rules by the Red Soul Hall was to eliminate Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen fall for their deceit so brazenly at this moment, Xue Yuanba was secretly pleased.

Because once Lin Chen died, the defensive line of the Endless Sky Mountain Range would inevitably be breached.

When the Red Soul Hall’s forces descended upon the Divine Flame Alliance’s territory once again, it would be an unstoppable force, and the entire Eastern Domain would fall under their control.

Xue Yuanba proposed this rule change because he feared Lin Chen’s tremendous strength, unable to eliminate Lin Chen in an ordinary contest.

After all, in a normal competition, even if the Red Soul Hall’s Heavenly Prides were far stronger, it would be difficult to kill Lin Chen, as one could concede defeat during the competition.

But now that the contest was changed to entering the Grey Marsh Plain, Lin Chen would be unable to escape.

Subsequently, the competition began, and both sides started entering the Grey Marsh Plain.

"Kid, wait a moment."

However, just as Lin Chen was about to set foot into the Grey Marsh Plain, a call from Xue Yuanba made Lin Chen stop in his tracks.

"What can I do for you?"

Lin Chen faced the man before him with no shred of goodwill, immediately asking.

Xue Yuanba was quite displeased with his attitude, after all, he was also an elder from the Red Soul Hall.

"You cannot bring that Demon Wolf with you!"
