Chapter 550

Ten Thousand Mountains City.

Lin Chen and his senior brothers were in the City Lord's Mansion at this moment. Lin Chen quietly listened to his senior brothers recount the things that had happened on the battlefield of the two sects over the past two years.

Over the past two and a half years, the number of Xiantian martial artists who had died or been injured in the entire Canglan Domain had already exceeded two thousand, and the number of ranked martial artists was already countless.

Nearly twenty percent of the Xiantian martial artists in the entire Canglan Domain had lost their lives; this was an extremely terrifying number.

Of course, the losses on the Eight Desolations Domain side were about the same, or even slightly higher.

Originally, the Canglan Sect still had a slight upper hand, but this situation was reversed after the appearance of those thousand Xiantian martial artists. By now, the Eight Desolations Sect had already gained the upper hand.

"Junior Shidi, since you have returned, go back to the sect first to see Master and the Sect Master." Lin Lin Shixiong Tu Ruoxing spoke slowly.

"Right, Junior Shidi, you go back to the sect first. The Sect Master and Master know your current realm, and they will surely be happy."

Liang Hanyang also followed closely and spoke. Chai Daoqi looked at the two senior brothers and understood their intentions.

The sect issued a Return-to-Sect Order for all disciples. Disciples in the outer domains who returned to the Canglan Domain did not need to return to the sect but were arranged nearby, arranged by the sect deacons or elders responsible for that area.

Ten Thousand Mountains City, and the surrounding hundred cities, were all under the jurisdiction of Elder Qu.

The three of them were responsible for the surrounding ten cities.

If Junior Shidi joined, the pressure on their side would drop sharply, but the martial artists on the Eight Desolations Domain side would also report the situation, and they would inevitably send corresponding Xiantian powerhouses, while the sect side could no longer send out powerhouses.

Their own Master was not in the sect but on other battlefields.

Lin Chen pondered. Although he didn't know the inside story, he could also guess the purpose of his three senior brothers asking him to return to the sect.

The situation was unfavorable to the Canglan Sect, so how could Master stay in the sect? Lin Lin Shixiong asking him to return to the sect to see Master was just wanting him to leave the front-line battlefield.

"Good, I will return to the sect first."

In the end, Lin Chen accepted the good intentions of his senior brothers. It wasn't that he wanted to escape the battlefield, but only by returning to the sect could he understand more about this sect war and make better countermeasures.

"Better early than late, Junior Shidi, you go now."

Lin Lin Shixiong Tu Ruoxing looked at Lin Chen. Although they had wiped out the martial artists of the Eight Desolations Domain this time, he couldn't guarantee that there were no spies from the Eight Desolations Domain in the city. With Junior Shidi's talent, if the Eight Desolations Sect knew Junior Shidi was here, they might disregard everything and send a Xiantian Fifth Realm powerhouse to deal with Junior Shidi.

"Good, then take care, senior brothers."

Lin Chen nodded heavily; he was not the kind of indecisive person.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Chen left the city and headed toward the direction of the Canglan Sect, but after traveling a hundred miles, he changed direction and headed toward the border of the battlefield.

In the City Lord's Mansion where Lin Lin Shixiong was, there was a map hanging, on which was the latest battlefield distribution, and with Lin Chen's memory, he memorized this map by heart after just a few glances.

At this moment, Lin Chen changed his figure and restored his appearance of being in his forties.

Clear Wave City!

The city gates were tightly closed. This was a small city, and the Canglan Sect had only arranged one Xiantian martial artist to sit in command.

"Lord, the martial artists of the Eight Desolations Domain at Clear Wave Pool are all dead!"

A First Rank martial artist ran in hurriedly, his voice extremely excited.

"All dead, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"There will absolutely be no mistake, and there are also the corpses of two Xiantian martial artists."

Zhang Qi pondered. If this was a conspiracy by the martial artists of the Eight Desolations Domain to trick him out of the city, the cost of this conspiracy was too high. Using the lives of two Xiantian martial artists as bait?

Their Clear Wave City simply didn't have that kind of value.

The only possibility was that these corpses were all martial artists of the Eight Desolations Domain who had died in other places, including those two Xiantian martial artists, and the martial artists of the Eight Desolations Domain outside the city had borrowed the corpses of the dead martial artists to lay out a layout.

"That's not right either. If they used the corpses of their companions to lay out a layout, the news spreading out would inevitably shake the morale of the martial artists of the Eight Desolations Domain. The Eight Desolations Sect doesn't need to do this."
