The second Immortal Token fell precisely in the heart of Yan Mountain.
Here, a large army of two hundred thousand was stationed, equipped with various modern weapons, and the Divine-level Master Li Lingtian was in command.
Thus, anyone with a sensible mind would not dare to snatch it here.
Naturally, this Immortal Token ended up in the hands of Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian, with his calloused hands, gently caressed the Immortal Token enveloped in a myriad of colors, lost in deep contemplation.
His slightly squinted eyes also revealed a fervent desire.
It was known that this was the key to opening the path to the Immortal Sect. Anyone would be heart-pounding at the sight of it.
However, compared to other power-seekers free from earthly desires, Li Lingtian undoubtedly had more restraints on him.
He was an empire’s general, the Li Family head, a husband to his wife, a father to his children, and a descendant of the elderly. These were the shackles on his body, as well as the responsibilities he must bear.
Such restraints prevented him from pursuing the elusive Immortal Sect at will!
In the end, Li Lingtian was after all rely a mortal who couldn’t sever ties with worldly emotions.
Li Lingtian stood in place for a while, then dialed Li Chen’s phone.
His words were concise, only a single brief sentence.
"There’s an Immortal Token here, co to Yan Mountain imdiately!"
Li Chen, receiving the phone call from Li Lingtian, was also slightly taken aback.
He had originally thought that obtaining the Immortal Token would take so considerable effort.
After all, this was an Immortal Token, a key to the path to the Immortal Sect. Many people would fight tooth and nail to enter.
But he hadn’t anticipated that the acquisition of this second Immortal Token would be so unexpectedly easy.
Lian Hongshang also felt it was too easy and uncomfortably asked, "Chen, could there be a trick to this?"
Li Chen thought for a mont, then shook his head: "No, I trust Li Lingtian!"
Lian Hongshang said, "But I don’t trust him!"
Li Chen smiled calmly, and asked, "Do you trust then?"
Lian Hongshang nodded vigorously and said, "I do!"
Afterward, she added, "I only trust you, no one else!"
Ever since her master ascended to immortality. Apart from Li Chen, there wasn’t another person in this world who she completely trusted.
Li Chen stepped forward and took Lian Hongshang’s small hand, saying, "Then follow !"
Lian Hongshang gave Li Chen a charming smile, without a word, everything was conveyed in silence.
When Li Chen reached Yan Mountain, the east was already showing a hint of dawn.
At this ti, Yan Mountain was under full martial law. Whether it was openly stationed guards, secretly placed ones, or mobile patrols, it was ten tis the usual. Equipped with modern detection thods, various infrared scanners. Not even a fly could hope to get in.
As soon as Li Chen arrived, he saw an old acquaintance, Vermilion Bird.
And it seed like she was specifically waiting there for him, apparently having waited all night.
Vermilion Bird, seeing Li Chen’s arrival, her eyes brightened with delight and she quickly approached him.
"Li Chen, you’ve arrived!"
Li Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, I’m here!"
Vermilion Bird, without any superfluous talk, got straight to the point: "Let’s go, the general has been waiting for you all night!"
Li Chen nodded again and was about to enter.
Lian Hongshang also wanted to follow them in, but a sentinel stopped her.
Li Chen stopped, and with a questioning look, asked Vermilion Bird what the aning of this was?
Vermilion Bird quickly explained: "This is a military zone, outsiders are not allowed to enter, that’s the rule!"
Li Chen thought for a mont and could understand this.
He then turned to Lian Hongshang and said, "Stay here, I’ll be right back!"
Lian Hongshang was sowhat reluctant, but she did not want to trouble Li Chen, so she obediently nodded.
"Alright, just be careful yourself!"
Li Chen gave a slight smile, indicating that he understood.
Upon hearing this, Vermilion Bird felt a bit uncomfortable.
"Don’t worry, Li Chen is one of our own; no one will harm him!"
Lian Hongshang defiantly countered, "You can know a person’s face but not their heart."
Vermilion Bird: "Hmph, judging others by one’s own low standards!"
Lian Hongshang: "It’s necessary to be wary, even if you bear no malice towards others."
Seeing that the two won were about to start fighting, Li Chen quickly stepped in to diate.
"Enough, both of you say less!"
Upon Li Chen’s intervention, Lian Hongshang and Vermilion Bird both backed down.
After going through stringent security checks, about half an hour later, Li Chen t his adoptive uncle, Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian, upon seeing Li Chen, gave a very serious order to Vermilion Bird.
"Vermilion Bird, you may leave now. Without my command, no one is allowed to enter!"
"Yes, General!"
Vermilion Bird responded and then respectfully withdrew.
After watching Vermilion Bird’s back disappear completely from his sight, Li Lingtian took out the luminescent Jade Token and handed it to Li Chen.
Li Chen was startled upon seeing this, looked at the Immortal Token, and then at Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian smiled understandingly, saying, "Li Chen, keep this object safe!"
Li Chen, after a mont of silence, voiced the doubt in his heart.
"Why are you giving the key to open the path to the Immortal Sect?"
Li Lingtian replied with a light smile, "Li Chen, you are the hope of the Li Family and of all humanity. This responsibility is too great for to bear. I’m entrusting it all to you, don’t let down!"
Hearing these words from Li Lingtian, for so reason, Li Chen’s eyes slightly moistened.
This Immortal Token, obtained by Li Lingtian, who commanded the entire military district and even had the authority to deploy nuclear weapons—if he wanted this Immortal Token, no one could take it from him.
Yet now he willingly relinquished the Immortal Token to a blood-related nephew, with whom he had little emotional connection.
Li Chen wanted to say sothing, but his words choked before he could speak; he just nodded heavily.
Li Lingtian smiled gratifyingly and patted Li Chen’s shoulder firmly.
"Li Chen, go and do what you must. The Li Family will be proud to have a descendant like you!"
"Yes, I will!"
"Ah, right, uncle, here are so superior Cultivation Techniques and this Nuclear Magnetic Titanium Long Spear from the Ancient Maya, which might be useful to you!"
As he spoke, Li Chen handed over the Cultivation Techniques he had seized from the Sea God Temple and the Titanium Spear from the Ancient Maya to Li Lingtian.
Li Lingtian did not decline but accepted them respectfully.
He knew that only in this way could he put Li Chen at ease.
Seeing Li Chen co out, Lian Hongshang, with her bright eyes full of surprise, asked.
"Chen, did you get it?"
Li Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, it’s in hand!"
Lian Hongshang asked, "So where do we go now? Directly to the Overseas Immortal Sect?"
Li Chen pondered for a mont, then shook his head, "First, let’s return to Cloud Mist Mountain and take that painting as well!"
Anran obviously didn’t belong in the Mortal World; staying here offered her no benefits anymore.
Moreover, leaving this ti, it was uncertain when he could return. Hence, Li Chen planned to bring her along into the Overseas Immortal Sect.
Maybe there, the mysteries surrounding the painting and her origin could be unraveled.
Currently, Li Chen had secured two Immortal Tokens, which ant he and Lian Hongshang qualified to enter the Overseas Immortal Sect.
Thus, this ti, he didn’t choose Sword Flight. Instead, he asked Vermilion Bird for an off-road vehicle, preparing to drive back.
This way, although it might be slower, the likelihood of being targeted would significantly decrease, avoiding much unnecessary trouble.
