Soon, the Array Peak Master and the Changchun Sect Leader initiated communication.

A moment later, he ended the call and said:

"Taoist Friend Xu, after discussions between my Changchun Sect and the Celestial Pill Sect, we would like to purchase five Celestial Thunder Master from your sect... is that quantity sufficient?"

The Array Peak Master spoke with a pained expression.

The ongoing war between the Orthodox and Demonic Party over the years has nearly drained the millennia-old foundations and reserves of both sects...

Of course, most of the resources were drained by the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.

"Five Celestial Thunder Master, huh? No problem..."

Lin Chen nodded, having already buried more than ten Celestial Thunder Master behind the Demon Sect lines.

Each was hidden in a critical location.

Now, it was time to trigger them.

At the same time, Lin Chen felt a bit of anticipation.

Five Celestial Thunder Master meant earning five million Spirit Stones.

Originally, Lin Chen had planned to reach the Third Stage of the Spirit Root in several years, which was already quite good.

But now it seemed that reaching the Third Stage of the Devouring Spirit Root was within reach!

Thinking about this, Lin Chen asked:

"Peak Master Wang, when will these Spirit Stones be delivered?"

"As soon as the Spirit Stones arrive, I can detonate them at any time."

The accumulations of both the Orthodox and Demonic Party were truly almost exhausted by Lin Chen.

So he tentatively asked:

"Taoist Friend Xu, could you detonate two first to test the waters?"

"The two hundred thousand lower grade Spirit Stones will be delivered within three days."

"The remainder will be guaranteed to be collected within a month!"

Though Lin Chen felt it was a bit slow, he still nodded.

"Alright, as Peak Master Wang says."

...

Three days later, in Lingxuan City.

The Sect Leader of the Changchun Sect personally rushed to the front lines to discuss the detonation of the Celestial Thunder Master with Lin Chen.

In a hidden room within the Guardian Mansion, Wang Changchun treated Lin Chen with respect.

"Taoist Friend Xu, is it true what you said before about detonating the Celestial Thunder Master?"

Wang Changchun knew the importance of this matter. If they could really detonate the Celestial Thunder Master and cause chaos in the rear of the Demon Sect.

In the next ten years, the Demon Sect might not have the strength to launch large-scale attacks on the Righteous Alliance.

Therefore, Wang Changchun traveled from afar to Lingxuan City to confirm this matter in person.

"Taoist Friend Wang, as long as the Spirit Stones are in place, I can guarantee chaos in the rear of the Demon Sect."

Upon receiving Lin Chen’s affirmative answer, Wang Changchun felt somewhat shaken.

Had the methods of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect become this cunning?

The Celestial Thunder Master could reach the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect thousands of miles away...

What kind of concept was this?

Not to mention Nascent Soul Cultivators, even a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation couldn’t cause chaos in the rear of the Demon Sect from thousands of miles away, right?

Moreover, if the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect could easily detonate the Celestial Thunder Master and cause chaos in the rear of the Demon Sect.

Doesn’t that also mean they could easily cause chaos in the rear of the Righteous Alliance?

Thinking of this, Wang Changchun cautiously asked:

"Taoist Friend Xu, how do you manage to detonate the Celestial Thunder Master from thousands of miles away... could you possibly disclose a little?"

Lin Chen smiled and shook his head:

"Sect Leader Wang, this pertains to the secrets of my Wind Spirit Moon Shadow sect, please pardon that I cannot disclose it."

"However, I can assure you that as long as the Spirit Stones are in place, the rear of the Demon Sect will definitely descend into chaos."

Hearing Lin Chen’s confident tone, Wang Changchun nodded and said:

"In that case, let’s wait for good news from Taoist Friend Xu. Can we unleash chaos in the Demon Sect within ten days?"

Saying this, Wang Changchun handed over a Storage Bag, his tone somewhat urgent.

According to his intelligence, the Demon Sect had already started preparations at the rear, readying for a full-scale attack on the Righteous Alliance.

As quickly as in ten days, or as slowly as half a month, the Demon Sect might dispatch its forces, threatening Lingxuan City.

Lin Chen took the Storage Bag, scanned it with his Divine Sense, and after counting the three hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones inside, he smiled with satisfaction.

"Sect Leader Wang, why wait for ten days?"

"How about causing chaos in the Demon Sect’s rear today?"

Saying this, Lin Chen took out a map.

This map showed the deployments of the Demon Sect’s major city locations within the Purple Smoke Realm.

Including the occupied Beiwang City, Beiliang, Zhongliang, and Nanliang cities, among others...

"Sect Leader Wang, our Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect always ensures excellent service."

"Select three Demon Sect outposts on this map, and I guarantee that today, we will throw the Demon Sect’s rear into chaos!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lin Chen displayed a meaningful expression.

This surprised Wang Changchun greatly after hearing it.

Not only could they use the Celestial Thunder Master to destroy cities at the Demon Sect’s rear, but they could even let him choose the locations.

Were these methods not terrifying?

Wang Changchun took a deep breath and then tentatively selected three cities.

Nanliang, Zhongliang, and Beiwang City.

Lin Chen nodded in agreement; obviously, these three chosen cities were carefully considered by Wang Changchun.

Among them, Nanliang and Zhongliang were important supply cities for the Demon Sect.

They served as transit cities behind the Demon Sect’s front lines, initially built by the Righteous Alliance.

After being occupied by the Demon Sect, they were seen as key strategic cities.

In these cities, most of the Demon Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage or above were gathered, totaling no fewer than five thousand.

As for Beiwang City, there’s no need to elaborate.

Originally a fortress guarded by Wan Xun, and after being breached by the Demon Sect, it became a major rear stronghold for them.

Destroying these three cities would surely disrupt the Demon Sect’s rear, leaving them unable to maintain supplies, thus slowing their attack preparations.

Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Very well, according to Sect Leader Wang’s wishes."

"I hope Sect Leader Wang prepares a bit... and tonight, we shall enjoy a fireworks show with our fellow Daoists!"

Fireworks show?

Wang Changchun showed a hint of confusion in his eyes.

...

That night.

Eight hundred miles southwest of Nanliang City.

Lin Chen brought Wang Changchun to this place, flying to a high altitude of thousands of feet.

Then, Lin Chen pointed in the direction of Nanliang City and laughed:

"Sect Leader Wang, this location has a broad view, just perfect for seeing Nanliang City."

"And it’s not far from Lingxuan and Qinghe City. We can return anytime..."

"Indeed, it’s a great place to watch a smoke show!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Changchun could no longer contain himself and asked:

"Taoist Friend Xu, the smoke show you mentioned is..."

Lin Chen waved his hand, signaling Wang Changchun not to rush.

After a brief moment, Lin Chen pointed in the direction of Nanliang City and said:

"Sect Leader Wang, look, isn’t the smoke show coming?"

With that, Lin Chen secretly activated the nuclear weapon’s switch.

As his words fell, brilliant and bright colors instantly erupted over Nanliang City, eight hundred miles away.

Like a sun rising into the sky, turning the surrounding hundreds of miles into daylight.

Boom!

A huge mushroom cloud soared into the sky, followed by the earth shaking and mountains quaking.

Wang Changchun stared blankly in the direction of Nanliang City, ultimately swallowing his saliva.

"What a... grand smoke show!"

Although he had long heard of the power of Celestial Thunder Master.

This was still Wang Changchun’s first time witnessing it firsthand.

The site was still eight hundred miles away from Nanliang City, yet he could discern the terrifying power of Celestial Thunder Master.

Imagine being within the city; how terrifying would it be?

Within a radius of ten miles, cultivators below the Golden Core likely have no chance of survival!

Even the nearby Golden Core Cultivators face a nine-death-one-life situation!

After a moment, that splendid mushroom cloud slowly dispersed.

Lin Chen smiled and said:

"Sect Leader Wang, dare you accompany me to the other two cities and watch the next smoke show?"

Wang Changchun took a deep breath and also laughed:

"Why wouldn’t I dare? Such a beautiful scene, rare in a thousand years!"

Thus, the two then successively headed to Zhongliang City and Beiwang City.

These two cities, though deep in the Demon Sect’s territory.

But with the tunneling speed of Lin Chen and Wang Changchun, unless they encounter the Blood-Eyed Demon, the other demon cultivators have no chance of catching up.

Moreover, the vast Purple Smoke Realm makes it unlikely for the Blood-Eyed Demon to find the two.

Until late at night, after several consecutive smoke shows had ended.

Lin Chen then took Wang Changchun back to the Lingxuan City front line.

Seeing the thoroughly excited and triumphant Wang Changchun, Lin Chen smiled and said:

"Sect Leader Wang, the smoke show I arranged for tonight... are you satisfied?"

Wang Changchun quickly nodded and said:

"Satisfied, extremely satisfied!"

"With this Celestial Thunder Master, why need we fear the Demon Sect?!"

"After this, the Demon Sect’s overall strength is reduced by at least thirty percent, while the Righteous Alliance hasn’t lost a single soldier..."

Wang Changchun’s mind kept turning.

Tonight, three smoke shows killed no less than eight thousand demon cultivators.

Among them, most should be Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Stage demon cultivators, but perhaps some Golden Core demon cultivators also perished in these explosions.

Wang Changchun quickly realized this might be a great opportunity to counterattack the Demon Sect!

Not to mention completely reclaiming the entire Purple Smoke Realm.

But attacking to reclaim Xinliang City might be very possible...

Thinking of this, Wang Changchun decided on the spot:

"Taoist Friend Xu, I wish to contact Taoist Friend Chen Danxin and discuss the matter of counterattacking the Demon Sect."

"At that time, a friend may need to support a bit more, at least detonating another five Celestial Thunder Masters!"

Lin Chen listened, smiling and nodding:

"As long as there are sufficient Spirit Stones, not to mention five, even fifty... the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect will satisfy you!"

Wang Changchun heard this, and inwardly laughed bitterly.

He indeed wanted to buy fifty, but the problem is... he’s broke!

Even buying five more would mean the Righteous Alliance would have to sell off everything.

This feeling of watching a priceless treasure but unable to purchase...

It’s like watching a stunning beauty offer herself, yet powerless to take action...

...

Soon, Wang Changchun contacted Celestial Pill Sect leader Chen Danxin.

After a discussion, they decided to purchase from Lin Chen the right to detonate another five Celestial Thunder Masters.

The detonation time was unknown, estimated to be within a month.

However, five million lower-grade Spirit Stones were paid upfront.

Immediately, the Righteous Alliance quickly gathered the rear cultivators, deciding to counterattack the Demon Sect.

And Xu Shi, Lin Chen’s guise, temporarily left, returning to Qinghe City to cultivate diligently.

...

At the time of the Righteous Alliance’s morale being boosted, the Demon Sect side was already in bitter distress.

Continuous detonation of three Celestial Thunder Masters severely depleted the Demon Sect’s vitality.

Thousands of Qi Refining demon cultivators, and over a thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators died in the explosions.

Even three unfortunate Golden Core cultivators were also blasted to death.

This caused panic throughout the Three Great Demon Sects.

Ultimately, even the Blood-Eyed Demon had to be alarmed again, rushing to the front line.

Zhongliang City.

Originally, this was a prosperous city in the Purple Smoke Country, occupied by the Demon Sect, causing a massacre of a million mortals.

Simultaneously, the whole city became a cradle for nurturing demon cultivators.

But after this explosion, half of Zhongliang City turned into ruins.

Everywhere are scorched demon cultivator corpses.

Those demon cultivators lucky enough to survive gathered together in misery.

Upon arriving, the Blood-Eyed Demon scanned the ruined Zhongliang City, his gaze uncertain.

Biting his teeth, he said:

"Quick, let the new Hall Master of Puppet Hall come to see me!"
