Chapter 163 Wanxun Died in Battle, the Evil Ways Are Rampant!
Elder Wan died in battle?
Which Elder Wan...
Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat.
After the death of an elder named Wan, the sect rang the bell four times, indicating that his status was higher than that of the peak master.
Who else could it be?
"Wan Xun... died?"
Lin Chen was shocked and a little bit unbelievable.
He had quite a few contacts with Wan Xun. They had shared hardships and fought against the calamity cultivators together.
He also formed a deep friendship with Wan Xun as Xu Shi.
Not long ago, when Lin Chen and Li Zhenqian held a Jindan celebration, they received congratulations and gifts from Wan Xun.
At that time, Wan Xun was already a third-turn Jindan, and with his talent of an eighth-grade Jindan...
Even ordinary middle-stage Jindan couldn't compare to him.
But just like this, the one who was expected to be in the Yuanying stage, the future pillar of Changchun Sect, and was regarded as the successor to the sect master... died? !
Lin Chen took a deep breath and stood with a group of disciples.
In front of many disciples, Wang Changchun barely kept calm.
But the slightly trembling hands behind him said it all.
"Master, is this true?"
"Senior Brother Wan is really dead..."
"No, this is impossible! How could Elder Wan die?"
At this moment, the disciples' square of the sect was in chaos.
Hundreds of disciples, including the elders, did not believe the fact that Wan Xun was dead.
Wan Xun had been a disciple of Changchun Sect for a long time, and he was also the senior brother of Jianfeng.
He was very kind to his brothers and junior brothers...
But such a nearly perfect cultivator, unexpectedly, died...
Hearing the shouts of the disciples around him.
Lin Chen also fell silent.
He thought of the battle to eliminate the robbery cultivators, when Wan Xun gave part of his captured spoils to the family of his dead junior brother.
He also thought of the ruins of Jinyuan Sect.
Wan Xun put himself in danger to save Li Zhenqian.
"If Junior Brother Li knew, he would be very sad..."
Lin Chen felt a little sad, but suddenly met a gaze.
It was Li Zhenqian.
At this moment, he stood not far from Lin Chen with red eyes and lost soul...
"This, this is not true!"
Li Zhenqian suddenly shouted.
After hearing this, Wang Changchun frowned.
He shouted:
"Silence!"
"Wanxun's death...is a fact!"
"But, this is a war, a war between the righteous and the evil!"
"Where can there be no death in war? Not to mention the Jindan cultivators...even the Yuanying Zhenren may not be able to stay out of it!"
Wang Changchun's tone was firm, and he maintained the majesty of the sect master in his words.
He was Wanxun's master, who had carefully cultivated Wanxun for decades and regarded him as his successor...
After learning of Wanxun's death, the saddest person present might be him as a master.
But he was also the master of a sect, and he needed to maintain his majesty, and he could not collapse!
If the sect master collapsed, Changchun Sect would be not far from destruction.
"Zhen Qian..."
Wang Changchun sighed, looked at the disciples and elders and said:
"This time the battle report came from the front line, the three major demon sects gathered more than a dozen Jindan cultivators, which was unexpected..."
"But my Zhengdao League has not lost yet!"
"In recent years, there are dozens of Jindan cultivators in the Zhengdao League, but the battle line is too long. Our Changchun Sect is in Yanlai Realm, and the front line is in Ziyan Realm..."
"Therefore, I decided to withdraw the front-line arrangements and compress the battle line."
"Together with the Tiandan Sect, we will use the border of the Mist Country as the front line to temporarily resist the demons in order to counterattack in the future..."
After a pause, Wang Changchun continued:
"In addition, because Elder Wan fought to the death."
"Under the pressure of the demon army, time was bought for the disciples and other elders on the front line, so a considerable number of cultivators were saved..."
Wang Changchun said a few words to encourage the morale of the cultivators in the disciple square.
After hearing this, many disciples rekindled their confidence.
"That's right! The reason why the front line failed is because the battle line is too long..."
"We still have dozens of Jindan cultivators, and we will definitely be able to break through the Demonic Path in one fell swoop!"
Thousands of disciples discussed in the square, and finally gathered into one voice.
"Counterattack the Demonic Path and show the prestige of our Changchun Sect!"
"Counterattack the Demonic Path and show the prestige of our Righteous Alliance..."
Looking at the disciples who rekindled their fighting spirit, Wang Changchun nodded.
Then he cleared his throat and said:
"Ahem, next...all elders and peak masters above the Fake Dan stage. Come to my hall..."
"As for all the disciples, prepare for the battle next."
"All the materials in the treasury of my Changchun Sect will be exchanged at 20% off contribution points."
After hearing this, the eyes of all the disciples suddenly lit up.
The materials in the treasury are exchanged at 20% off, which may save a lot of money.
Lin Chen stood in the square and nodded slightly.
Although the situation on the front line is not optimistic, Wang Changchun still has some means to re-condense the morale of the sect.
Wang Changchun scanned the crowd, and Lin Chen also received his voice transmission.
"Elder Lin, come to my inner hall as well."
Soon, all the disciples on the square dispersed.
Some went to exchange supplies, or to prepare for the next battle.
Some disciples were timid and seemed to have retreated.
Lin Chen and more than 20 elders and peak masters in the false pill stage went to the sect master's inner hall together.
At this time, Wang Changchun sat in the sect master's position, waved his sleeves, and closed the door of the inner hall.
After setting up another formation, he sighed.
Looking at the more than 20 elders, Wang Changchun could no longer hide the sadness on his face.
"Everyone... is the core of our Changchun Sect. I won't hide the frontline battle report from everyone..."
"On the front line of the Purple Mist Realm, our Changchun Sect's six elders at the alchemy stage, a hundred foundation-building disciples, and thousands of Qi-refining stage disciples...all died in battle!"
"At this time, the Demon Sect army has passed through the three front cities and is preparing to invade the last three cities. It is marching towards Xinliang City."
After hearing this, the faces of all the elders present changed wildly.
Lin Chen also frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Sect Master, this...how is this possible?"
"Senior Brother Wan didn't take action to protect the rear, but he died in the battle..."
The person who spoke was Li Zhenqian.
The disappointment in his eyes could not be concealed. Senior Brother Wan died in the battle, which was a big blow to him.
What's even more important is that dying in battle is meaningless...
The evacuated elders and disciples were actually still dead?
Thinking of this, Li Zhenqian lost his composure and felt despair.
Wang Changchun glanced at Li Zhenqian lightly and scolded:
"Zhen Gan, you are the genius of our Changchun Sect. After the death of Senior Brother Wan... only Lin Chen and you are left among the younger generation of banner bearers... If you are so impatient, how can the Changchun Sect be left in your hands in the future?"
After hearing this, Li Zhenqian remained silent.
At this time, the peak leader of the array peak spoke:
"Senior Brother Wang, in the past few years, although we have lost battles with the Demon Sect, our losses have been within an acceptable range."
"But this time, why was such a huge loss...we didn't get any information at all?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly after hearing this.
He knew the three cities on the front line.
Although the Demon Sect is stronger, it is too difficult to break through the three frontline cities in just one or two days...
What's even more exaggerated is that the sect only got the information after the frontline completely failed.
Could it be that...the guards at the Core Formation Realm didn't even have time to deliver the message?
When Wang Changchun heard this, his face became a little ugly, and he said slowly:
"To be precise, three cities on the front line were missed...hundreds of thousands of people died, and it only happened in just half a day!"
"Because, that guy with Xue Tong took action..."
Blood pupils!
After hearing this name, the expressions of all the elders present changed drastically.
Only Li Zhenqian still looked puzzled and said:
"Xuetong, is he strong?"
After hearing this, Wang Changchun was too lazy to explain anything.
He only gave the peak master a look.
After Zhen Fengfeng realized this, he quickly pulled him behind him, and then whispered:
"The old demon with blood pupil, or you can also call him the real person with blood pupil..."
After hearing this, Li Zhenqian quickly shut up.
The two words "Zhenren" are a sign of dominance and near-invincibility in Qingzhou.
At this time, Lin Chen's master Han Jihai spoke.
I saw him stroking his long beard and saying with some doubts:
"Old Demon with Blood Eyes...Isn't this old guy running out of time to live?"
"How could he suddenly run out and personally destroy three cities?"
Wang Changchun said at this time:
"I received news from the Demon-Conquering Temple..."
"It is said that the blood of the old devil with blood eyes and the death of the ghost-eyed boy... That's why this old monster was angry."
After hearing this, the elders present had different reactions.
Not many people knew about the death of the old monster with ghost eyes.
Apart from Lin Chen, there were only those monks from Jiangmo Temple.
Thinking about it, the Ghost Exorcist Sect must have suppressed the news.
"The old monster with ghost eyes is dead? Then this is a good time for us to counterattack the Demon Sect!" An elder was eager to give it a try.
"No wonder, I haven't heard anything about this old monster in the past two months..."
The old monster with ghost eyes alone can be worth ten golden elixir monks on the front line.
Now, this ghost-eyed old monster is dead. Although the three cities on the front line have been destroyed, it seems that he can accept it?
After hearing this, some elders nodded in agreement.
Some elders also wondered:
"Old monster with ghost eyes... This guy's strength is almost invincible under the Nascent Soul..."
"Who killed him? Could it be that other forces in Qingzhou sent Nascent Soul cultivators to take action?"
Wang Changchun shook his head and said:
"When the three cities on the front line were destroyed, the old devil with blood eyes had already released the news, offering a reward of three million spirit stones... for Xu Shi's life!"
"That's right, this matter was done by fellow Daoist Xu from Fengling Yueying Sect."
After hearing this, several peak masters around him who had seen "Xu Shi" showed astonishment on their faces.
He was even more in awe of Fengling Yueying Sect.
They all know that Xu entered the ruins of Jin Yuanzong more than ten years ago.
It’s only been a few years, so it’s only the middle stage of Golden Core at most, right?
Can you kill the old monster with ghost eyes?
Looking at the elders with different expressions around him, Lin Chen touched his nose with some guilt.
After Wang Changchun told all the true situation on the front line, he said:
"Although Guimu died in battle, we are still at a disadvantage against the Demon Sect..."
"Especially, the old demon Xue Tong personally took action. I'm afraid that within a year, the entire Purple Smoke Realm will fall..."
"Therefore, it is a helpless move for the disciples to withdraw from the Purple Mist Kingdom. They must join up with the Tiandan Sect and defend the Mist Kingdom!"
After hearing this, the elders around nodded.
Wang Changchun said at this time:
"Therefore, all the elders may be sent to the front line to go to the Kingdom of Mist to prevent the Demon Sect from continuing to suppress the territory..."
"This time may be a bit dangerous. I wonder what the elders think?"
As he spoke, Wang Changchun looked around.
"Sect master, what are you talking about? We are disciples of the Changchun Sect. We should protect the sect as we should!"
Some elders care about the sect and are willing to die for the sect.
However, there are also some elders who have evasive eyes and do not have much attachment to the sect.
Wang Changchun saw all this in his eyes and said:
"Elders, what kind of temperament does the old devil with blood pupil have... I believe everyone knows."
"If the Righteous Alliance is defeated, I'm afraid there will be no peace within tens of thousands of miles. By then, it will be difficult for you all to protect yourself."
"Besides, his demon sect has Daoist Yuanying, and our Righteous Alliance may not have one either."
As he spoke, Wang Changchun showed a meaningful expression.
The other elders were stunned for a moment, making a guess in their minds.
At this time, Wang Changchun said:
"Okay, elders, please prepare for the frontline battle..."
"Danfeng and the Peak Masters of the Formation Peak stay, the other elders and peak masters should go out first..."
After hearing this, the elders prepared to leave, and Lin Chen also prepared to follow.
At this time, Han Jihai pulled him and signaled Lin Chen not to leave yet.
After only three people, Lin Chen, Han Jihai and the master of the formation peak, were left in the inner hall.
Wang Changchun sighed and said:
"There are no outsiders here. Junior Brother Han and Junior Brother Wang, you are all old people who have been in the sect for hundreds of years. I can trust you..."
"And Lin Chen, you are the most talented disciple of my Changchun sect in thousands of years. The future is in your hands."
"So, I opened the skylight and spoke out."
After hearing this, Lin Chen secretly complained in his heart.
"Good guy, I want to talk about one thing in three waves. Are you talking about three small groups?"
After a pause, Wang Changchun said:
"I can't contact Grandmaster..."
After hearing this, the Peak Master was stunned and said:
"Grandmaster...hasn't he been in seclusion in the back mountain? Could it be that he went out to travel in the world of mortals?"
"It's not that we don't know about our ancestor's irresponsible temperament..."
Wang Changchun shook his head and said solemnly:
"No, this time is different."
"The founder of the Spiritual Beast Sect, his deadline came a few years ago...otherwise, the Spiritual Beast Sect would not have been destroyed so easily!"
"There is also the Patriarch of the Tiandan Sect, who, like the Patriarch of Changchun... can't be contacted."
"I doubt……"
Speaking of this, Wang Changchun fell silent.
The Spiritual Beast Sect, Tiandan Sect, and Changchun Sect all share the same spirit.
It is because the three Yuan Ying Patriarchs came from the same sect and have a deep relationship.
They came to this Eastern Region together eight hundred years ago and founded three major sects.
But counting the years, even if you have the treasures of heaven and earth to extend your life.
The Nascent Soul cultivator is also very likely to have reached his end...
After hearing this, Han Jihai was stunned.
I saw him muttering:
"Why don't you give me a slap? The Grandmaster is gone... Let's divide the property and run away..."
After hearing this, the sect leader Wang Changchun glared at him.
"Haha, after all these years...Junior Brother Han still loves to joke so much!" On the side, the leader of the formation peak quickly explained.
"So, senior brother...what should we do next?"
The leader of the formation peak asked.
"Well, at the moment... we can only take one step at a time."
"If the Demon Sect continues to advance, we can only give up the Purple Smoke Realm."
"But... the old devil with blood eyes has lived too long and is too old..."
"I think he shouldn't be able to take action easily now, right?"
Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Nascent Soul monks are certainly terrifying, but aging Nascent Soul monks are even more terrifying.
However, if it is an already aging Nascent Soul cultivator who still wants to live a long time, it will not be so scary...
Because every time he takes action, his lifespan may be greatly reduced.
"Anyway, I will discuss with the leader of Tiandan Sect as soon as possible. Frontline arrangements..."
"But this time, we will inevitably have to go to the front line!"
Wang Changchun said this with a sad look in his eyes.
…
Lin Chen returned to Lin's Xiaoxuan and calmed down to think carefully.
"The old devil with blood eyes took action personally, Wan Xun died in battle, and the army pressed down on the border... At the same time, he placed a bounty on me..."
Lin Chen narrowed his eyes, this was definitely not good news for him.
"This is three million spiritual stones. Even the Golden Core cultivator would be jealous and fight for it!"
"It seems that Xu Shi's vest will be hidden for a while again... we can only send martial arts puppets to test it out."
Lin Chen thought silently.
Fortunately, he still has millions of spiritual stones in his hand, which will be enough for him to practice in the next few years.
But it's not an option if you don't show up all the time, especially at the Guangyuan Auction.
Not to mention the stable income of 200,000 spiritual stones per month, there are still three months of auction money that has not been recovered.
"Let's wait and see what happens for a while, and then send out martial arts puppets to find out the situation..."
Lin Chen made a quick decision in his heart.
…
In the following January, the situation in the eastern region of Qingzhou changed dramatically.
The Righteous Alliance withdrew from the Purple Mist Kingdom and headed to the North, which was only six thousand miles away from the Mist Kingdom.
At the same time, Changchun Sect and Tiandan Sect worked together to promote the relocation of the Righteous Alliance's strongholds.
The front line was shortened from ten thousand miles to six thousand miles, and the entire purple smoke realm of nearly four thousand miles, as well as hundreds of millions of mortals... were abandoned by the Righteous Alliance.
The ending that awaits those mortals is self-evident.
However, the shortened front line also allows the Righteous Alliance to better concentrate its forces.
Changchun Sect and Tiandan Sect alone jointly sent out twenty Danjie monks.
In addition to other forces in the Righteous Alliance, the four major immortal families and the Yanlaijing royal family each sent a Jindan cultivator to the front line.
The most troublesome thing about this matter is the patriarchs of the four major immortal families.
Originally, they were just foundation-building cultivators and did not have to go to the front line in person.
But now, the heads of the four families of Xiao, Li, Cai and Meng are all Jindan and must go to the front line to fight the enemy.
Except for Li Dongkun, because Li Zhenqian, as a disciple of the Li family, went to the front line in person.
In comparison, the situation at Danfeng is not good.
That day, Han Jihai called several disciples to Danfeng.
Seeing that there were no outsiders, Han Jihai spoke the truth.
"Alas, even the Yuanying old monster has come out... Well, why don't we run away?"
"It doesn't matter if Changchunmen doesn't stay, we run to the influence of the Dao Sect, I think the Demon Sect will not dare to pursue..."
After hearing this, Zhou Tieshan was at a loss.
He had just broken through the foundation-building stage some time ago and was about to go to the front line to test his skills...
"Master, are we really going to run away?" Zhou Tieshan widened his eyes, looking surprised.
"Don't run? If you don't run, you will be buried with the Righteous Alliance?"
Han Jihai said earnestly:
"The ancestors have run away... What else do we have to do not run?"
