"Boom!"

A massive impact shook the Heavens and Earth, as energy crashes ravaged the surroundings, causing mountains to collapse, the ground to crack open, and the land to tremble.

The leader's gigantic body was blasted backwards, crashing into the ground and toppling many mountain peaks before finally stopping.

Qingluan Immortal Monarch floated in midair, the Dharma Aspect behind him imposing; though his body was small, it emanated a terrifying aura.

Lin Chen looked at the growing number of Starry Sky Magical Beasts around them, feeling a bit anxious.

Even though the two of them were powerful and fearless in chaos, they hadn't come here to fight but to seek information. If a real fight broke out, it would be hard to resolve peacefully.

Just as Lin Chen was feeling anxious, a small figure appeared in his vision.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, and he shouted loudly, "Tia!"

That small figure was surprisingly Tia, the one who left the Secret Realm with Lin Chen and eventually returned to the Star Sky Demon Beast Ancestral Land with Chi Zai!

Tia's form was tiny, appearing miniscule compared to the surrounding Starry Sky Magical Beasts. Upon hearing Lin Chen's voice, he turned his head, his eyes instantly showing a gleam of joy.

"Lin Chen!"

Tia hurried over, his face full of surprise as he exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

Lin Chen replied, "We came to visit your Clan Chief and inquire about something, but your guards wouldn't let us in, nor were they willing to pass on our message, so we came in ourselves and ended up in a fight right away."

Pausing, Lin Chen asked, "Where is your father?"

Nicholas is the greatest warrior of the Starry Sky Magical Beast Clan, holding a high status. If he could look favorably upon the fact that I once helped his son, perhaps he could mediate and this matter could be resolved smoothly.

Tia raised a forepaw and pointed at the giant Starry Sky Magical Beast battling in midair: "He's there!"

Lin Chen was taken aback; was Nicholas fighting Qingluan Immortal Monarch?

This was awkward.

As Lin Chen was contemplating how to handle this situation, Tia shouted loudly, "Father, stop fighting, they're not bad people! This is the Human Clan member I told you about who helped me..."

Nicholas, rolling up from the ground and about to launch a powerful attack on Qingluan Immortal Monarch, was drawn by Tia's shout.

Nicholas's gaze landed on Lin Chen, scrutinizing him: "Tia, is it him?"

Tia affirmed, "Yes, it's him. He's a good person, so please stop fighting."

Nicholas snorted coldly, "Human Clan, though you helped my child, trespassing into our Clan's Forbidden Land is a grave crime..."

Lin Chen raised his voice, "We mean no offense, entering here was out of desperation. This is the direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor representing the Immortal Emperor and other Saints like the Demon Emperor coming to visit, so we ask for your understanding."

Lin Chen presented Qingluan Immortal Monarch's identity, though speaking earnestly, implying to Nicholas that they were messengers sent by the Saints and deserved some respect.

Don't forget, although your Starry Sky Magical Beast Clan is formidable, you don't even have a single Saint.

If you really lack empathy and insist on pushing things to the extreme, you should weigh the consequences carefully.

Nicholas, having fought Qingluan Immortal Monarch with immense strength but gaining no advantage and slightly at a disadvantage, was both startled and considering finding a way out.

While having great force means you can dismiss reason, if your force isn't greater than others and you still refuse to reason, you'll suffer the consequences.

Nicholas coldly said, "Fine, considering you helped my son and Chi Zai, I won't hold your forced entry into our Ancestral Land against you for now. The Clan Chief is in Closed Door Cultivation; if you have questions, you can ask me, then leave promptly after."

Lin Chen asked, "We have one purpose here, to ask for information about the Abyss Demons. We are currently battling them and seeking effective means to defeat the Abyss Demons..."

Nicholas was greatly shocked, "Abyss Demons have invaded the Immortal Realm?"

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, from what I understand, you are also guarding against the Abyss Demons. If we could defeat them, or even eradicate them, wouldn't it also benefit you?"

Nicholas pondered for a few seconds, "I know some things but not much; only the Clan Chief knows in detail... Alright, you stay here, and I will report to the Clan Chief to see if he can emerge from Closed Door Cultivation."

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on his face.

If it had been handled this way from the beginning, it would have been much easier, right?

Did we really have to fight first?

But thinking about it, it's quite understandable; if someone bursts into your home, the instinctive reaction is to capture and beat them first, then ask for their purpose. However, after a fight, realizing there's little you can do against the opponent and continuing might wreck your entire home, changing the approach to direct conversation becomes the only option.

In the myriad races across the universe, the Strong Ones Rule!

Qingluan Immortal Monarch snorted contemptuously, his expression arrogant. Initially, he intended to severely chastise Nicholas to establish his power, but since the latter compromised, there was no point. After all, they were here to gather information, not to fight.

Though the fight was avoided, the Starry Sky Magical Beasts were still quite hostile towards Lin Chen and the other person, leaving the task of welcoming the two to little Tia.

Tia led them away from the ravaged area to a mountain peak where they paused.

"Because Starry Sky Magical Beasts are large, they rest wherever, with no real residence, so we don't have a place to accommodate you..."

Lin Chen laughed, "No problem, we'll take care of ourselves. We just need to meet the Clan Chief."

Lin Chen took out two chairs and sat on one of them, asking, "Tia, after you came back, have things been good for you? Have they accepted you?"

Tia answered happily, "They treat me very well, they agreed to my return, my father also loves me, and I have brothers and sisters who care for me. But their sizes are too big, and mine is too small, which is inconvenient..."

Lin Chen smiled and reassured, "You're still young; you'll grow bigger as you age. Besides, size doesn't matter; strength is what's important. Look at the battle just now. Compared to your father, Qingluan Immortal Monarch seemed small, but he still fought evenly with your father."

Tia nodded in agreement, "Yes, my father tells me the same thing; he says size isn't important, and only great strength matters. As long as I'm strong enough, even if I'm as small as a kitten or a bird, nobody would dare underestimate me."

Lin Chen asked, "Do you know the current status of your Clan Chief?"
