What? What!

Both of them almost simultaneously stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Lin Chen.

"Do you know what you're saying?"

"Of course I know what I'm saying."

Lin Chen waved his hand and set up a barrier, making sure no one outside could hear their conversation before speaking, "I'm pretty sure that's the Demon Lord Ji Ye. He said he came to my house for a free meal, and I didn't dare refuse."

"How can you be sure?" Yu Chan also became alert.

Lin Chen crossed his arms, "Why don't you go and confirm it yourself?"

"Of course." Luo Yunli took a step forward and agreed.

If the Demon Lord was really here, they couldn't go back for a while.

No one could guarantee whether the Demon Lord's visit was a coincidence or planned in advance.

Which Demon Lord would disguise themselves just to mooch a meal?

However, Yu Chan hesitated and whispered, "This is not a small matter. Shouldn't we go back and ask the sect leader?"

"You go back, I'll keep an eye on her." Luo Yunli concluded directly.

At this time, they had to keep an eye on her. In case something really happened, they could react immediately.

Lin Chen looked at the two of them, hesitated, and said, "Actually, I think we should... inform the Demon Realm, what do you think?"

"What do you mean?" Yu Chan frowned, "Are you saying you have some connection with the Demon Realm?"

"No, I have no connection with the Demon Realm, but I think this Demon Lord wandering around our immortal clan's territory is like a time bomb. She's temporarily in my yard, which is relatively safe, but what if she leaves in the future? What if she harms others? Or what if she gets hurt here?"

"I think if she just ran out like this, the Demon Realm is probably also looking for their Demon Lord. Why don't we let them secretly take the Demon Lord back?"

Lin Chen had a headache.

He had thought too much, which was why he had to hold this hot potato in his hands.

But he never expected that Yu Chan would look down on him from the bottom of her heart and speak so harshly.

He understood now that Yu Chan simply despised him!

Luo Yunli also didn't expect Lin Chen to have such a broad perspective.

She looked at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

"I think it's better to take this opportunity to kill her. After all, she came here for a free meal. Why not just poison her? Once the Demon Lord is dead, the Demon Clan will be in chaos. It will be a good time for us to reclaim the border." Yu Chan clenched her fist, her eyes filled with fierceness.

Lin Chen glanced at her, "When you say this, have you ever thought about the lives of our entire Lin family?"

"In my yard, including adults, children, and servants, there are more than a hundred people. Are all these living beings insignificant to you? Or do you think we are all expendable, and we should even feel honored to sacrifice ourselves for you? Can't you be a little more clear-headed?" Lin Chen's tone was filled with strong dissatisfaction.

He finally realized that although Yu Chan appeared kind-hearted and gentle, she was actually a wicked person at heart.

If the Demon Lord really died in their Lin family's courtyard,

then the Demon Realm would definitely do everything in its power to exterminate them.

At that time, their whole family would have to accompany him in death.

Using other people's blood to pave his own path, he didn't leave any room for others to survive.

After hearing these words, Yu Chan sneered disdainfully, "I thought you were so powerful, turns out you're just a coward."

"I'm not afraid of death, but I want to die with value. Can you guarantee that after our whole family is exterminated, you can take back the Demon Realm? Do you think there's only one Demon Lord in the Demon Realm? Let me tell you, if you kill her today, there will be a new Demon Lord tomorrow. By then, they will have a legitimate reason to attack the Immortal Clan. When a real battle breaks out, innocent lives will be lost, blood will flow like rivers. Can you take responsibility for all of that?" Lin Chen's words were firm and unyielding.

There were some things he could overlook, but this kind of thing, he had to take into account.

Yu Chan was left speechless by Lin Chen's words.

She couldn't understand why, even though she was clearly in the right, when Lin Chen spoke like this, it seemed like she was the one who was going against the natural order.

Frowning, she looked at Lin Chen and took a deep breath before gritting her teeth and asking, "What do you mean by all this? Are you suggesting that we safely send her back?"

"I don't mean anything. If the Sect Master of your Eternal Immortal Sect has the same idea as you, then I will support the Demon Lord. I will rebel to ensure the survival of my whole family. Even if the Eternal Immortal Sect has eyes and ears everywhere, they won't be able to force people to live, right?" Lin Chen coldly threatened.

"Lin Chen, what nonsense are you spouting!" Luo Yunli frowned at him.

Lin Chen sneered disdainfully, "I'm saving the Demon Lord for my own survival, and rebelling is for the survival of my whole family. Even if the Eternal Immortal Sect has eyes and ears everywhere, they won't be able to force people to live, right?"

"You're being insolent! When did our Eternal Immortal Sect ever bully you and make it impossible for you to survive? You're just spouting nonsense!" Yu Chan was furious.

She was known for her sharp tongue in the Eternal Immortal Sect, but for some reason, she couldn't retort in front of Lin Chen!

Her face turned pale with anger as she said fiercely, "Lin Chen, I'm telling you, if you dare to spread these words outside, I will definitely exterminate you with the law!"

"Is that so? Then we'll see if your Eternal Immortal Sect really wants to make it impossible for us small sects to survive." Lin Chen didn't back down. Even if a real fight broke out, he might not necessarily lose.

Seeing the increasingly tense atmosphere between the two, Luo Yunli sighed helplessly and whispered, "Alright, stop arguing. This is all pointless, why argue?"

"Yunli, you stay here and watch them. I'm going back now," Yu Chan said, turning around and leaving.

Luo Yunli looked at Lin Chen helplessly and said, "She didn't mean it, you..."

"Do you really think she didn't mean it? Just like when we were in the Divine Demon Border, do you think it was just a slip of the tongue when Liu Qingyao sent us to our deaths?" Lin Chen frowned at Luo Yunli.

With just one sentence, Luo Yunli was left speechless.

Although Lin Chen said it, they were the ones who had done it.

"Don't worry, this time is different from last time. Not everyone in our Eternal Immortal Sect is like Liu Qingyao. You're right, the Demon Lord cannot be killed." Luo Yunli tried to reassure him.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen couldn't be convinced.

He knew that in the Eternal Immortal Sect, Luo Yunli was just a small sect leader. In terms of status, she was even inferior to someone like Yu Chan.

If the Sect Master really agreed to Yu Chan's proposal, it would be a disaster for the Lin family. He couldn't let his guard down!
