Primordial Divine Emperor-Chapter 159 - 111: Array Master? Senior Brother Lin, You Can Ask Junior Brother Ye
The few watched Brother Jiang leave, all sighing heavily.
"Why did it have to be a disciple from Sword Peak? Alas!"
Someone’s heart was filled with rage, and with a flick of their sleeve, they were full of despair.
Though Brother Lin also appeared quite dejected, he nevertheless forced himself to muster up all his energy and said, "Since things have come to this, let’s all put away the look of defeat on our faces. Don’t forget, there are so many new junior brothers and sisters watching us."
After speaking, Brother Lin took a deep breath, tidied his clothes, and stepped toward Ye Xiaofan and the others.
As for the others, though they also looked helpless and angry, upon hearing this, they still slightly bowed to Ye Xiaofan and the others, then turned to follow Brother Jiang.
On the other side. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Brother Lin approached Ye Xiaofan and the others, trying his best to maintain a smile, and gave a slight bow, saying, "Junior brothers and sisters, you must be weary from your journey. Next, I will lead you and explain our current situation."
Upon hearing this, everyone bowed in return to Brother Lin, "We have seen Brother Lin."
Brother Lin slightly nodded, not holding back his smile.
Seeing how approachable this senior brother was, many of the new disciples relaxed quite a bit, finding him much more amiable than their frosty senior sister.
Through further exchanges, Ye Xiaofan and the others learned the identity of this senior brother.
His name was Lin Changkong, a senior brother from Divine Sword Sect who entered the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ three years ago, and was the leader of that cohort, much like Ye Xiaofan now.
"So it’s Brother Changkong?"
"The winner of the Thirty-First Small Peak three years ago, a peerless genius among peerless geniuses, known as ’Changkong Single Sword’—is it that Brother Changkong?"
"I also know, it’s said that back in the day, Brother Changkong struck from the sky and even shattered an Alchemy Furnace of a Pill Peak Elder. The tale spread far and wide."
Many veteran disciples of Divine Sword Sect were startled; even they hadn’t expected that the first senior brother they met in the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’ would be the famous Lin Changkong.
Lin Changkong gave a wry smile upon hearing this. Back then, in his youthful arrogance, he shattered the Alchemy Furnace of a Pill Peak Elder, and he felt apologetic about it to this day. He hadn’t expected that, after so many years, there would still be disciples in Divine Sword Sect who remembered him.
"Ha ha, junior brothers and sisters, you’re joking. Back then, in my youthful arrogance, I acted unwisely, and I’m truly ashamed, truly ashamed." Lin Changkong said with a helpless smile, and as these past events were mentioned, everyone seemed to gradually forget their current predicament, enjoying a moment of happiness.
However, after speaking, Lin Changkong glanced at Ye Xiaofan, and remarked, "Speaking of feats, Junior Brother Ye’s achievements are truly astounding. After just two and a half years in the sect, he’s already the master of the Seventeenth Small Peak. Compared to Junior Brother Ye, I’m really ashamed."
Lin Changkong spoke sincerely. Though this junior brother wasn’t the Array Peak disciple they had longed for, the information on the sheepskin scroll was truly astonishing. In just two years and five months since joining the sect, he had already fought his way to the Seventy-Two Small Peaks of Divine Sword Sect.
Not only that, he had become the master of the Seventeenth Small Peak. This alone was a record that countless genius prodigies could only dream of achieving.
But unfortunately, this was the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’, not Divine Sword Sect. Among the senior brothers here, any one of them might have a realm more terrifying than that of the master of the Seventeenth Small Peak, as the peerless genius before him had not yet truly matured.
However, this didn’t matter. The Demon Sect disciples were currently being held back by those senior brothers in the ’Main Battle Domain’, and there was still time before the large-scale counterattack by the Hundred Sects. As long as one’s talent was truly formidable, it wouldn’t be long before these new junior brothers and sisters could grow strong enough to hold their own before the counterattack.
As they walked and talked, they traversed the ruins of the ancient city.
With Lin Changkong’s introduction, Ye Xiaofan and the others came to understand the current situation of this ’Battle Domain’.
"The Demon Sect came with an imposing momentum, and we couldn’t react in time. Even though countless disciples of the Hundred Sects quickly responded, it couldn’t stop the flood-like assault, and most of the Hundred Sects’ young talents were driven out of their own ’battle domains’...."
After hearing Lin Changkong’s words, everyone finally understood.
This ancient border city they now saw wasn’t the true ’battle domain’. It was an ancient city hundreds of miles away from the ’battle domain’.
At the time of the full-scale invasion by the Demon Sect into the ’Hundred Sects Battle Domain’, the Hundred Sects’ young talents couldn’t respond in time and were driven out of all battle domains almost completely. Now, most battle domains have fallen, with only the ’Main Battle Domain’ struggling to hold on.
And the ’battle domain’ where Ye Xiaofan and the others arrived was not much different from ninety-nine percent of the ’battle domains’. The Hundred Sects’ disciples, originally scattered everywhere, only came to their senses after being driven here and began organizing a counterattack, but it was already too late.
Even though they began gathering all the prodigies for a frantic counterattack, they were firmly doomed to this place by the Demon Sect people.
"These places are poor in Spiritual Qi, which is extremely unfavorable to us, while the ’battle domain’ is abundant in Spiritual Qi. They not only stubbornly defend the entrance to the ’battle domain’, but even launch fierce attacks on us every so often."
"They want to wear out the disciples of the Hundred Sects!"
