"I need to deal with someone, and I need your help."

Lord Charm Erosion stared into Lin Chen's eyes: "It's not a Saint, is it?"

Lin Chen replied calmly: "Saints have kryptonite. If I sent you to deal with a Saint, wouldn't I be sending you to your death? Do you think I'm that stupid, or that I could bear to lose you?"

"That's true."

Lord Charm Erosion smiled leisurely: "Before you become a Saint, I am your strongest hidden card. You should indeed cherish me. Also, I'm so beautiful, don't you find me attractive at all? Or do you prefer another type? Like this, or this?"

As Lord Charm Erosion spoke, her appearance changed rapidly. Within a few breaths, she transformed into various forms: a mature enchantress, an innocent maiden, a cold goddess...

Lin Chen frowned: "Stop changing. I have no interest."

Lord Charm Erosion transformed into a cute-faced but voluptuous figure, asking pitifully: "So, which kind do you like? I can change into any type. Although I'm just an avatar, I'm no different from a real woman. By having me, you have all the women you desire in the world..."

Lin Chen was speechless: "I admit, the women you turn into each have their own charm and are very enticing. But when I think of your true form as a Demon Lord made up of crystal stones, I lose all interest."

Lord Charm Erosion instantly reverted to her original flawless form: "I really can't do anything about you. Tell me then, who do we need to deal with?"

"Qingluan Immortal Monarch!"

Lord Charm Erosion looked at Lin Chen in surprise: "Qingluan Immortal Monarch is the direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor, and you actually want to target him. Aren't you afraid that the Immortal Emperor will come after you?"

Lin Chen answered calmly: "Qingluan Immortal Monarch is known to have brought back kryptonite, making him the greatest contributor. The kryptonite he brought back killed so many Demon Lords, and the Five Saints also relied on it to destroy numerous Purple Crystal Pillars. As a Demon Lord, don't you hate him immensely?"

"The Five Saints have kryptonite, so you're afraid to touch them. But killing the Immortal Emperor's direct disciple, the greatest contributor who brought back the kryptonite, isn't that a form of revenge against the Immortal Emperor? And such revenge is quite reasonable, isn't it?"

Lord Charm Erosion clapped lightly: "Brilliant and reasonable! From beginning to end, you won't be involved, which means this whole situation is retaliation by the Abyss Demon Clan against the Human Clan, with no connection to you, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Chen smiled calmly: "At this moment, I'm still in closed-door cultivation in the Crimson Immortal Domain. I haven't been here at all."

Lord Charm Erosion nodded: "Indeed very meticulous. I'm curious, why do you want to target him? I remember you previously saved a direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor..."

Lin Chen replied: "Qingluan Immortal Monarch has his eyes on my Starry Sky Jumping Divine Ability, and because of his achievements, there's a high likelihood the Immortal Emperor will help him ascend to become a Saint..."

Lord Charm Erosion understood: "I see, preemptive action makes sense. Where is he now?"

"In the military camp."

Lord Charm Erosion frowned: "The Five Saints are there too, right?"

Lin Chen answered: "During each battle, the Five Saints will advance first. At that moment, it's your opportunity. You just need to disguise your identity, enter the camp, take Qingluan Immortal Monarch out, control him, and then escape, creating a Forbidden Land to ensure you aren't tracked."

Lord Charm Erosion nodded: "How will I know when the Five Saints have left?"

As long as she didn't have to face the Five Saints, Lord Charm Erosion had nothing to fear.

A direct disciple of the Immortal Emperor would be easy to handle.

After all, Lord Charm Erosion had even captured the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch right under the Immortal Emperor's nose before.

Lin Chen replied: "Jia Xue and Nalan Wushuang are in the camp. They will give me the signal."

Lord Charm Erosion nodded: "Everything is planned out well. It seems you've thought this through thoroughly. Once I capture him, will my part be done?"

"That should be it."

Lord Charm Erosion nodded: "Alright, I'll wait for your notification."

This waiting lasted several days because the Saints always took some time to recover and ensure they were in peak state before taking action. Although things had gone smoothly, who knew if the Abyss Lord had other means?

Finally, Lin Chen sensed the signal from Jia Xue through the token.

The Five Saints had set out!

They had already left the camp!

Linglong Tower shed golden light and released Lord Charm Erosion.

"The Five Saints have departed, go now!"

Lord Charm Erosion seemed to have already thought it through, as she swiftly transformed into Shepherd Heavenly Monarch.

Seeing this, Lin Chen couldn't help but secretly marvel.

Lord Charm Erosion was indeed clever!

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch was one of the Immortal Emperor's most trusted subordinates, in charge of the War God Temple and currently stationed in the Crimson Immortal Domain. Seeing him appear here and directly calling out to Qingluan Immortal Monarch, Qingluan Immortal Monarch would undoubtedly think there was something important and fall for the trap!

In the end, this matter wouldn't be blamed on the real Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, and it would be uncertain whether anyone could even guess it was Lord Charm Erosion.

Who could know who had transformed into Shepherd Heavenly Monarch?

...

In the camp, all the Quasi-Saints were ready to go.

Once the Five Saints launched their attack and destroyed the Purple Crystal Pillars from a distance through the starry sky, killing most of the demons, it would be their turn.

Taking advantage of the chaos and the mountains trembling from the destruction, they would charge in and kill everyone.

As everyone waited, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance, rushing toward the camp.

Everyone turned their heads and saw it was Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, who was supposed to be stationed in the Crimson Immortal Domain.

"Shepherd Heavenly Monarch!"

"Hall Master, what brings you here?"

"Seeing you in such a hurry, has something happened in the rear?"

Many Quasi-Saints greeted Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, but he waved them off and headed straight for where Qingluan Immortal Monarch and the others were.

The three Immortal Monarchs were gathered with Cheng Tuo, Zhuang Susu, and others, as they were the leaders of their respective factions.

Seeing Shepherd Heavenly Monarch approaching, everyone's eyes turned toward him.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch greeted everyone, then fixed his gaze on Qingluan Immortal Monarch and walked straight toward him.

Qingluan Immortal Monarch was slightly surprised: "Hall Master, is something the matter?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded, looked around, and said in a low voice: "There's something that shouldn't be discussed here. Can you come with me?"

Qingluan Immortal Monarch wasn't suspicious. Instead, he was curious about the urgency that brought Shepherd Heavenly Monarch here.

Could it be about the Land of Opportunity?

By right, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch should report such matters to his master, but since his master wasn't around, and Qingluan was the chosen one for Sanctum Ascension, perhaps he wanted to discuss it first?

In a flash, Qingluan Immortal Monarch imagined many scenarios but nodded readily: "Sure."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch turned and walked away, with Qingluan Immortal Monarch following closely behind.

The two of them quickly left the camp, disappearing from everyone's sight.
