"I can't wait any longer. I have to take action early."

Lin Chen returned to his residence, shared the information he'd gathered with the three women, and finally stated his decision.

Gu Yuexi asked, "Do you need our help?"

Lin Chen shook his head. "No, not only can you not show your faces, but even I won't appear. Until everything is under full control and ensuring nothing will go wrong, the only one who will act is the Charm Demon Lord."

With Lin Chen's explanation, the three women understood.

He was going to shift all the blame!

Even if Qingluan Immortal Monarch found a way to inform the Immortal Emperor, what would be exposed would be the Abyssal Demons.

The Five Saints, with their kryptonite, have now pushed the Abyssal Demon Clan to the brink of extinction. If the Abyssal Demons retaliate by killing the Immortal Emperor's disciple, wouldn't that be perfectly reasonable?

"When are you leaving?"

Lin Chen replied, "I will find an excuse to go into closed-door cultivation and then go over. I'll return once the task is done."

"Then be careful!"

Soon, after another conversation with a Quasi-Saint, Lin Chen excitedly announced that he had made a breakthrough and began his closed-door cultivation under the watchful eyes of many people.

Meanwhile, in the Crimson Demon Domain.

Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Yanran were chatting leisurely with two Quasi-Saints when a slight spiritual power fluctuation came from the token hanging at Chu Jiaxue's waist.

Chu Jiaxue looked down, but the token remained quiet and still, as if everything was just her imagination.

After finishing their conversation, Chu Jiaxue calmly asked, "Nalan, isn't that thing you were working on almost done?"

Nalan Wushuang turned, glanced at Chu Jiaxue, and smiled lightly, "It should be. Let's go back and take a look."

She then explained to the others, "It's nothing, just some small gadgets for practice."

The others didn't pay much attention, as it was common to pass the time with such little projects.

After becoming Quasi-Saints, comprehension is key to cultivation; sitting idly is useless, and one must find ways to spend the abundant time.

The two of them left the group and returned to their residence.

After entering the restricted area, Nalan Wushuang spoke, "What's up?"

Chu Jiaxue pointed to the token at her waist. "Brother Chen has contacted us."

Nalan Wushuang's eyes lit up. "Is he coming over?"

"Probably."

After a while, the token emitted another wave of spiritual power, much stronger than the first, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Chu Jiaxue raised her hand and set up several more layers of restrictions around them, then the two women silently waited.

After waiting for a long time, a violent spiritual power fluctuation erupted from the token, accompanied by a white light. Then, within the radiance, a light-shadow appeared, and Lin Chen emerged midair.

"Brother Chen!"

Upon seeing Lin Chen, Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang were delighted.

"Why did you come?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "The three of them have all successfully broken through the realm."

Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang exchanged a look of joy. "All of them? That's wonderful. Where are they?"

"Still in the camp."

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "This time, I've come to kill someone."

Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang exchanged glances and asked in unison, "Who do you want to kill?"

No wonder Lin Chen was using the prearranged method to notify Chu Jiaxue instead of directly transmitting over. It was to hide his whereabouts and prevent anyone from knowing he was here.

"Qingluan Immortal Monarch."

Lin Chen recounted the incident of capturing the Charm Demon Lord, leaving Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang stunned.

"Qingluan Immortal Monarch is at the camp. How do you plan to do it?"

Lin Chen laughed, "It's not me who's going to do it; it's the Charm Demon Lord. She can change her appearance at will. As long as she transforms into someone and lures Qingluan Immortal Monarch to a secluded spot, it should be very easy to catch him."

Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang exchanged another glance, still unable to comprehend the fact that Chen Shimei was the Charm Demon Lord.

The Charm Demon Lord had been mingling around them all this time!

If she had wanted to, she could have killed both of them, transformed into their likenesses, and returned to Lin Chen. Even with kryptonite, Lin Chen might not have realized it in time.

"It's frightening. If she had acted against us back then..."

Lin Chen mentioned this with a bit of lingering fear. "It was thanks to the camp having all Quasi-Saints, as well as the Saints guarding it. Knowing the Five Saints had kryptonite, she would have risked her own life if an unexpected situation arose."

Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang agreed. With her strength, killing the two of them was easy, but they might have had powerful magical treasures. If anything were revealed and a Saint was present, she could have been taken down. Perhaps, due to these concerns, she did not act against them. Later, thinking the victory was assured, disguising as Chu Jiaxue or Nalan Wushuang could easily be spotted by Lin Chen, so appearing as Chen Shimei bypassed those risks.

"How is the battle situation here?"

Chu Jiaxue answered, "Similar to the Sacred Heart Fairyland. The Five Saints first select their targets and strike, destroying structures on the ground before we clear out the remaining Abyssal Demons."

"So far, we've taken down five purple crystal pillars without encountering significant resistance. Lord Ao Jue and the Lord of Incineration are nowhere to be seen; perhaps they've gone into hiding."

Lin Chen sighed, "The power of kryptonite, indeed. Is it a landslide victory then?"

"More or less."

Lin Chen's determination shone in his eyes, "In that case, I need to act quickly. If the war ends, I might lose my chance."

"To avoid drawing attention, you need to find a way to smuggle me out of the camp."

"Remember, as far as anyone is concerned, I was never here. The rest has nothing to do with you."

The two women nodded, "Alright!"

Lin Chen hid inside the Exquisite Tower. Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang casually strolled out of the camp.

Everyone was a powerful Quasi-Saint, mostly minding their own business without many rules.

Lin Chen had to be cautious. After all, the Five Saints were leading; even when not in battle, they stayed within the camp.

Once they were far enough, the two women dropped the Exquisite Tower, leisurely returning.

Inside the Exquisite Tower.

Lin Chen stood in front of the Charm Demon Lord. She scrutinized Lin Chen, eyes filled with confusion.

This Lin Chen seemed so weak.

Wasn't he a Quasi-Saint?

"Stop looking. This is just an avatar. Killing me serves no purpose."

"An avatar?"

The Charm Demon Lord realized, smiling leisurely, "Aren't you overly cautious? My life is in your hands; you don't need to be like this."

Lin Chen laughed, "Better safe than sorry. You're a powerful Demon Lord, and I'm just a small Quasi-Saint, like an ant to you. Caution is necessary."

The Charm Demon Lord pouted, "Long time no see. Summoning me suddenly, do you have a task for me?"
