Chapter 444: Hidden Powerhouses of the Nine Kingdoms

"For you, the most important thing now is cultivation. You don't need to worry too much about other matters in the sect."

Lin Chen walked out of the back courtyard, his mind constantly replaying this last sentence the Supreme Elder had given him. He didn't understand what the Supreme Elder meant by this.

Other matters in the sect, don't need to worry too much.

He didn't seem to have worried about it either.

The Canglan Sect is a super sect, with Innate powerhouses like clouds. No matter how high his talent is, his current strength is only at the Second Stage of the Innate Realm, which is barely enough to be a sect deacon.

However, among personal disciples like him, not many would serve as deacons.

Serving as a deacon means having to work. Most personal disciples focus on cultivation for the first thirty years. Only when the martial cultivation realm is completely stabilized and the cultivation progress slows down, in order to obtain more resources, will they serve as deacons in the sect and complete missions arranged by the sect.

"What are you thinking about?"

By his ear came his master's voice. Lin Chen looked up and realized that he had unknowingly walked to the back door of the front hall, and his master and the Sect Master were looking at him with smiles in the main hall.

"Disciple wasn't thinking about anything, it's just that the last sentence of the Supreme Elder's instructions made Disciple a bit puzzled."

Lin Chen stepped into the front hall, paid his respects, and then said the words the Supreme Elder had given him.

Hearing the instructions his Uncle-Master gave to Lin Chen, Ji Cangtian looked at Du Xiaofeng. Du Xiaofeng understood, knowing that the Sect Master was letting him inform Lin Chen of what had happened in the sect recently.

"Disciple, not long after you entered the Canglan Secret Realm, the Bahuang Sect gathered martial artists at the border of Chixia Pass to invade the Canglan Region. Now the two sects have gone to war in an all-out manner, and the mastermind who hired the Yama Hall assassin to assassinate you can already be confirmed to be the Bahuang Sect."

"The Bahuang Sect and we have gone to war in an all-out manner?"

Lin Chen had a look of astonishment on his face. He had only entered the Canglan Secret Realm for a short while, and such a big event had happened outside.

The Yan Huang Chao only has twenty-four super sects. Although his master had mentioned sect wars to him, in his view, sect wars were very far from him, and perhaps he wouldn't necessarily encounter one in his lifetime.

Without absolute crushing strength, which sect would be willing to go to war?

You must know that this is not just a battle between two neighboring sects. Who dares to guarantee that other neighboring sects won't take advantage of the fire?

Furthermore, without a Sect War Order, at most, you can only seize half of the opponent's territory.

"Did the Bahuang Sect apply for a Sect War Order?"

"How is that possible."

Du Xiaofeng gave a disdainful smile. "The difficulty of applying for a Sect War Order is not simpler than destroying my Canglan Sect. If the Bahuang Sect had this strength, they wouldn't have waited until now."

Without applying for a Sect War Order, yet rashly going to war with the Canglan Sect, what is the Bahuang Sect plotting?

"Could it be that there are irreconcilable contradictions within the Bahuang Sect?"

Lin Chen gave another guess, but this guess made Ji Cangtian a bit surprised: "Lin Chen, why would you guess this way?"

"Sect Master, in my hometown, there are also many dynasties. Once these dynasties have intense internal contradictions, in order not to let internal contradictions erupt, and in order to maintain the stability of the dynasty, those in power of the dynasty will choose to launch wars externally to transfer internal contradictions."

Lin Chen explained. Launching wars externally is either to transfer internal contradictions or because strength has surged and they have the confidence to annex surrounding forces.

"Your explanation makes some sense, but the Bahuang Sect doesn't have this situation. All super sects in the entire Yan Huang Chao don't have the irreconcilable internal contradictions you mentioned."

Ji Cangtian smiled slightly, and these words also made Lin Chen react. It was his own thinking that had deviated.

This is a martial world, a world where strength is respected.

The strong eat everything; no one dares not to obey.

Taking the Canglan Sect as an example, everything in the sect is handled by the Sect Master. Although the elders also have the power to intervene, they absolutely dare not disobey the Sect Master, not only because the Sect Master is stronger, but also because the Sect Master has the Supreme Elder standing behind him.

Even if there are some frictions and entanglements between elders, they are all within a controllable range, or rather, the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master don't care about these private fights between elders. Once it affects the development of the sect, the Supreme Elder only needs to appear to solve it.

If you are unconvinced, then you will be cut off.

"The Sect Master has already arranged for several elders to go to Chixia Pass to support, and at the same time, the first batch of disciples of our sect has already gathered and prepared to set off for Chixia Pass. The Supreme Elder told you these things to tell you that the current battle has nothing to do with you, and all your thoughts should be placed on cultivation."

In the great war between the two sects, any disciple could be dispatched to the border.

But for disciples with talent like Lin Chen, the sect will not let them go to the border, and at this critical moment, they will be kept in the sect to cultivate with peace of mind.

No matter how high the talent of the Second Stage of the Innate Realm is, it is only the Second Stage of the Innate Realm, and it cannot determine the trend of the battle at Chixia Pass.

Lin Chen nodded. He wouldn't show the courage of a reckless man and think about going to the battlefield at this time.

"Sect Master, since the mastermind who hired the Yama Hall assassin is the Bahuang Sect, then this time the Blood Moon Sect side?"

Thinking that the mastermind who hired the Yama Hall assassin was the Bahuang Sect, Lin Chen also associated it with the Blood Moon Sect. Being able to get a spot to enter the Canglan Secret Realm, even if it was traded with the Canglan Sect at a price, the premise was that the Blood Moon Sect and the Canglan Sect had no grudges, otherwise the sect wouldn't give this spot to the Blood Moon Sect.

The Blood Moon Sect had no reason to do such a conspiracy.

If it could be said that this conspiracy could bring benefits to Li Yueshan, it could barely be justified, but the fact was that making the Canglan Beasts go berserk brought no benefits to Li Yueshan at all. Li Yueshan's goal was very clear: it was aimed at the ten Canglan Sect disciples who entered the secret realm.

"Regarding the Blood Moon Sect, I have already joined forces with other sects to question the Blood Moon Sect, but the final result of this matter is that the Blood Moon Sect will give sufficient compensation. The sect is now at war with the Bahuang Sect and cannot be distracted to go against the Blood Moon Sect."

Ji Cangtian also had helplessness in his eyes. The Bahuang Sect plus the Yama Hall—this force is not small. If they were to completely tear their faces with the Blood Moon Sect now, the Canglan Sect's martial artists would be insufficient.

The most critical point is that the Blood Moon Sect was indeed only targeting the Canglan Sect. If it weren't for Lin Chen dragging disciples of other sects into the water, letting Li Yueshan's conspiracy succeed, the final result would be that the ten people of the Canglan Sect, including Lin Chen, would have died in the Canglan Secret Realm, while the disciples of other sects would have all survived.

Because of this point, other families wouldn't really tear their faces with the Blood Moon Sect. Everyone joined forces to pressure the Blood Moon Sect, but it was just to seek the compensation they each wanted.

"Lin Chen, you don't need to pay attention to these things. The sect will handle them well."

Du Xiaofeng saw Lin Chen looking thoughtful and thought Lin Chen was dissatisfied with the decision made by the sect. After all, several disciples of the sect died because of the Blood Moon Sect's conspiracy.

"Master, Disciple understands the reason for the sect's decision. Disciple is not dissatisfied. Disciple just thought that since we are at war with the Bahuang Sect, then my relatives..."

What Lin Chen was thinking about just now was the safety of his own relatives. If the Blood Moon Sect did this because of an agreement with the Bahuang Sect, then the Bahuang Sect went to such great lengths, all to eliminate the ten of them.

To speak proudly, Lin Chen believed more clearly that the Bahuang Sect's goal was actually himself alone.

Wanting to strangle him in the Canglan Secret Realm and not letting him grow up.

And this failure doesn't mean the Bahuang Sect will give up. Staying in the sect, he doesn't need to worry about safety, but the Bahuang Sect could hire the Blood Moon Sect and the Yama Hall to take action, showing that their desire to kill him is extremely urgent. Perhaps they will use his relatives to threaten him.

The fact that he came from the East Sea Region is not a secret in the sect.

The Canglan Sect and the Bahuang Sect are both big sects. The two sects have been enemies for many years. Lin Chen believes that the Bahuang Sect should have arranged spies in the Canglan Sect, and vice versa. Some top-secret news might not be known, but for most disciples, news that is not a secret, both sects can definitely know it at the first time.

"As a master, I suggest letting your family come to the Canglan Region."

Du Xiaofeng gave a suggestion. Lin Chen could think that the Bahuang Sect was to strangle him, and he and the Sect Master could also think of it.

Hiring the Blood Moon Sect and the Yama Hall to take action, the Bahuang Sect definitely paid a high price, and paying such a price failed to succeed, which will not make the Bahuang Sect give up, but will only make the Bahuang Sect more determined to strangle Lin Chen.

And his family far away on the sea in the East Sea Region is Lin Chen's only weakness at present.

Let his family come to the Canglan Region? ===== CHAPTER 445 =====
