Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1771: Chapter 1772: Crisis of the Immortal City

Lin Chen’s gaze once again shifted to Shangguan Wan’er, who was now covered in a layer of frost.

However, Lin Chen could still sense the aura from Shangguan Wan’er, otherwise, he would genuinely think she was just an ice sculpture.

”Is there any way we can help her?” Lin Chen asked in a deep voice.

Feng Jiu shook his head: ”I’m afraid there’s no way. The icy energy within her is too domineering. If external forces intervene, it will only backfire. Now she can only rely on herself.”

Lin Chen nodded helplessly, his eyes fixed on Shangguan Wan’er.

”Wan’er, you must stay strong, don’t let anything happen!”

Just then, crack, crack!

A surge of cold air suddenly burst forth from Shangguan Wan’er.

Instantly, a thick layer of ice formed on the ground, rapidly spreading to the surroundings.

Lin Chen and the others hurriedly wrapped themselves in spiritual energy, otherwise, under this fierce cold air, they too would be frozen into ice sculptures.

At this moment, Lin Chen noticed that the ice layer on Shangguan Wan’er suddenly shattered, and her whole body was enveloped by an essential cold air.

Amid the cold air, Shangguan Wan’er sat cross-legged, her face showing a hint of pain.

Suddenly, Shangguan Wan’er opened her eyes, but there was a piercing blue glow in her pupils, devoid of any emotions.

That cold gaze was like an ancient god looking down upon the heavens and the earth, full of imposing power.

Lin Chen stared at Shangguan Wan’er, but she showed no response, as if the two were strangers.

”How did it come to this!”

Lin Chen’s expression slightly changed, as Shangguan Wan’er’s current behavior was too strange, even making Lin Chen somewhat uneasy.

He didn’t want Shangguan Wan’er to lose her memory because of this breakthrough.

Unknowingly, this girl Shangguan Wan’er had already occupied his heart.

Lin Chen had made up his mind that if anything happened to Shangguan Wan’er, he would do whatever it took to save her.

Time passed second by second as Lin Chen and Shangguan Wan’er locked eyes.

But in Shangguan Wan’er’s eyes, there was no trace of emotion.

At this moment, a faint blue ice crystal appeared on Shangguan Wan’er’s forehead.

”Divine seal!”

Upon seeing the ice crystal, Feng Jiu’s face abruptly changed.

”What is the divine seal?” Lin Chen asked in a daze.

Feng Jiu spoke in a deep voice: ”The divine seal indicates that this girl is a divine reincarnation. Some divine beings would come to lower planes to train themselves, and they would refine themselves during cultivation, eventually reactivating the divine seal.”

”What? Is there really such a thing? What will happen if the divine seal is activated?” Lin Chen asked solemnly.

Feng Jiu sighed: ”She will become a true god and forget everything of this lifetime.”

”What?” Lin Chen’s face also became unsightly upon hearing this.

”This girl, it seems she’s indeed a god, but her divine seal has not fully awakened, it’s just been activated.” Feng Jiu said solemnly.

”Damn it, how could this happen?”

Lin Chen furrowed his brows tightly because he knew that once Shangguan Wan’er activated the divine seal, she would become a different person, potentially severing any ties with him, which was not what he wanted.

Seemingly seeing through Lin Chen’s thoughts, Feng Jiu sighed: ”Lin Chen, everything is predestined. Let’s watch and wait, maybe she won’t fully activate the divine seal and remain the Shangguan Wan’er you know.”

Lin Chen forced a bitter smile, nodding helplessly: ”Feng Jiu, what kind of existence is a god?”

Feng Jiu’s gaze slightly sharpened: ”If I hadn’t been hunted back then, perhaps I would also be part of the divine race. Gods are existences above the immortal race. The Immortal Realm, though sounding lofty, is nothing but the servants of the divine race. We contribute a vast amount of spiritual stones to them each year for protection, so everyone wishes to become the exalted gods.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen took a deep breath: ”So, the Immortal Realm is actually controlled by the divine race?”

Feng Jiu nodded: ”Exactly. You disrupted the rules of the Immortal Realm, so they wanted to hunt you down. I rushed here after getting the news.”

”They want to kill me, but it won’t be that easy.”

...

At this moment, in front of Vermilion Bird City, it was densely packed with martial artists.

They were the allied forces tasked with killing Lin Chen.

The reason for inviting Lin Chen to Jade Maiden Peak was to leave the Star Pavilion leaderless.

In the middle of the army stood a middle-aged man with an ugly expression.

This man was Wang Feng, the commander of this coalition force,

They have besieged Vermilion Bird City night and day for three days, but even the formation hasn’t been broken, resulting in heavy casualties.

”Elder Wu, aren’t you hailed as the world’s number one array master? How come you can’t even break this formation?” Wang Feng said with an unpleasant look.

Wu Hui sighed: ”Sir, this is an ancient formation, I simply cannot break it.”

”Damn, it’s actually an ancient formation. What kind of monster is Lin Chen to possess an ancient formation?” Wang Feng’s face turned exceptionally ugly.

This mission was meant to pave his way to becoming the Alliance Hierarch, but the initial battle was so humiliating.

”Sir, although Vermilion Bird City is protected by a grand formation, I heard Lin Chen hasn’t had the chance to set up a formation in the Immortal City.”

Wang Feng nodded: ”In that case, let’s abandon Vermilion Bird City and attack Immortal City first.”

Though they couldn’t uproot Lin Chen’s stronghold, capturing Immortal City would at least allow Wang Feng to report back with some achievement.

The troops swiftly mobilized, launching a massive march towards Immortal City.

Ahead lay a narrow gorge, and seeing it, Wang Feng suddenly smirked coldly.

”Lin Chen, such a sinister tactic. Surely, you’ve ambushed troops here.”

Saying this, Wang Feng waved his hand, halting the troops.

”Send two vanguard teams to scout the valley on both sides, see if there’s an ambush,” Wang Feng commanded in a solemn voice.

Soon, two scouting vanguard teams went to search the mountains on either side.

Several hours later, the leaders of the two teams returned.

”Report to Master Wang, we’ve scouted twenty kilometers on both sides of the mountains without finding any ambush.”

”No ambush?” Wang Feng narrowed his eyes.

”So, the reputed god-like strategist Tian Jiao is merely so-so. If ambushers were placed in this area, once we entered the valley, we’d suffer and get trapped.”

Wang Feng snorted coldly: ”This gorge is the last barrier for Immortal City. If they’re abandoning even this place, Immortal City must have no defenses.”

”Everyone, pass through the gorge quickly, occupy Immortal City, and inform the men that the treasures of Immortal City are theirs to loot, and any beauties they capture can be taken at will,” Wang Feng said with a cold smile.

”Yes!” The Messenger Officer hurried off to deliver the orders.

Wang Feng chuckled coldly: ”Lin Chen, oh Lin Chen, I hear your wives are beautiful as flowers. This time, they’re mine to enjoy thoroughly.”
