Master and the Sect Master will be pleased to hear of your current realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Hanyang followed immediately, and Chai Daoqi glanced at the two senior brothers and understood their intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sect has issued a general order for all disciples to return: disciples outside the Canglan Region do not need to return to the main sect but should be assigned to nearby locations by the sect’s overseers or elders responsible for their respective areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanshan City and the hundred surrounding cities all fall under Elder Qu’s jurisdiction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My three senior brothers and I are responsible for the ten surrounding cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Younger Brother joining us, our pressure would drop sharply—but Bahuang’s cultivators will report this, and they will surely send corresponding primordial-level experts to respond; our sect can no longer afford to spare any strong cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our own Master is not at the sect—he’s on another battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen fell silent. Though he did not know the full details, he could guess why his three senior brothers wanted him to return to the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The situation is unfavorable for Canglan Sect; how could Master remain at the sect? Senior Brother’s request for him to return and meet Master is merely an attempt to remove him from the frontline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I’ll return to the sect first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, Lin Chen accepted his senior brothers’ goodwill—not because he wished to flee the battlefield, but because returning to the sect would let him learn more about this sect war and devise better strategies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Better to go now than delay. Younger Brother, leave immediately.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother Tu Ruoxing looked at Lin Chen. Though they had annihilated the Bahuang cultivators, he could not guarantee no spies remained in the city. With Younger Brother’s talent, if Bahuang Sect learned he was here, they might send a primordial fifth-rank cultivator at all costs to eliminate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Senior Brothers, take care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen nodded firmly—he was no indecisive man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a cup of tea, Lin Chen left the city, heading toward Canglan Sect—but after traveling a hundred li, he turned direction, heading instead toward the battlefield’s border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Prefect’s mansion where Senior Brother Tu Ruoxing was stationed hung a map showing the latest battlefield dispositions; Lin Chen, with his sharp memory, needed only a few glances to memorize it completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Chen altered his appearance, reverting to the look of a man in his forties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bibo City!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city gates were tightly shut. It was a small city, garrisoned by only one primordial cultivator from Canglan Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My lord, all the Bahuang cultivators at Bibo Pond are dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A first-rank cultivator rushed in, voice trembling with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“All dead? Are you certain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolutely certain. There are even two primordial cultivators’ corpses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Qi pondered: if this were a Bahuang plot to lure him out, the cost was too high—using two primordial cultivators’ lives as bait?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bibo City held no such value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only possibility was that these corpses were Bahuang cultivators who died elsewhere—including the two primordial ones—and the enemy outside the city had used their bodies to set a trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But that doesn’t make sense either. If they used their own comrades’ corpses to set a trap, the news would shatter Bahuang’s morale—they have no reason to do this.”\u003C\u002Fp>",693,"2026-06-19T20:25:58.850Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c6effddba4cabe1c85a0ebcab9f936d63534f2074ab440fd7132b781005d8707","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-551","rising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-chapter-549",591,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Frising-from-obscurity-my-martial-path-comeback-cover.jpg"]
