Chapter 1971: Chapter 1991: Junior Martial Uncle, you shouldn’t shoulder everything on your own!_1
Lin Chen had just stepped into the mountain gate when his footsteps came to a halt.
The Baihe Immortal Sect has many main peaks, each with numerous buildings and cultivators. But what Lin Chen saw in front of him was ruins.
Several main peaks had already collapsed into heaps of rubble.
The magnificent scenes of the past were long gone, leaving only desolation after the great battle.
Lin Chen asked, "Is the Sect Master still alive?"
The disciple answered, "Ever since the battle, the Sect Master has been unconscious. The Ancestral Master is seriously injured, and many Martial Uncles have died. The Sect is now under the management of Martial Uncle Zhou Ting..."
A sea of rage surged in Lin Chen’s heart. He was unsure whether this tragedy was caused by his own actions.
If it was, how could he face all the injured and dead fellow disciples?
"Take me to see him."
"Ancestral Master, please follow me!"
On top of one of the surviving main peaks, Lin Chen met Zhou Ting, who was now managing the Baihe Immortal Sect.
Dipping his face in sorrow, Zhou Ting was studying a prescription and his eyes suddenly brightened upon seeing Lin Chen. He threw down the prescription.
"Junior Martial Uncle! You’re back, the Sect Master might be saved now!"
Lin Chen stopped Zhou Ting from paying respects: "Tell me, what happened."
Zhou Ting replied respectfully, "Half a year ago, a group of people suddenly entered our Sect. They claimed they had an issue that concerned the life and death of the Baihe Immortal Sect. They revealed their true faces after everyone, including the Sect Master had arrived at the Main Hall. They were all people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and their leader introduced himself as the Blue-Clothed Blood Envoy, Zhao Yukun."
"Zhao Yukun demanded Baihe Immortal Sect to submit to the Heavenly Dao Alliance, threatening to kill us all if we refused. Of course, we did not agree. The Sect Master refused harshly. These people were prepared and attacked all of us in the Sect."
"Even though there was a formation in the Main Hall, the power of these people was too strong. Many were powerful celestials. Despite being protected by the formation, we suffered heavy casualties."
"They attacked our main peaks directly, causing several to collapse in succession. The Ancestral Master broke his seclusion and risked his life to retaliate using the Sect’s formation. He managed to repel these people hundreds of miles away in an instant and used the small window of time to activate the Mountain Protection Array. This finally prevented the total extermination of our Sect."
"The Ancestral Master was seriously injured, the Sect Master unconscious, and the Sect management suffered heavy casualties. Many disciples were killed or wounded. We did not dare to go out. We had no choice but to keep the Array activated and seal the mountain gate until your arrival today... Martial Uncle, didn’t anyone intercept you outside?"
The Purple Cloud Immortal Lord replied, "Certainly, when we neared the Baihe Immortal Sect, someone was spying on us indeed. However, I thought it was someone from the Sect and I didn’t pay much attention..."
Zhou Ting bitterly smiled, "It appears they still have lingering desires and have set people to keep an eye on us."
Lin Chen fell into deep thought. Half a year ago was precisely the time when Yao Xiong returned and defeated Xuanyuan Feiying. Around the same time, the Blue-Clothed Blood Envoy in Cloud Sky Continent suddenly revealed his identity and attacked the Baihe Immortal Sect. Was this order given before or after Xuanyuan Feiying’s defeat?
If it was the former, it meant that the enemy had ambitions to sweep the entire Immortal Domain, allowing the Blood Envoys in various continents to create disturbances. If it was the latter, perhaps it was Xuanyuan Feiying’s strategy to lose the chess to save the car.
This would draw the attention of the Immortal Palace to these continental Envoys and prevent their main forces from being noticed?
"Did they explain why they chose the Baihe Immortal Sect as their target?"
Zhou Ting replied, "We, the Baihe Immortal Sect, have always been loyal followers of Immortal Palace. We also played a significant role in welcoming the Xuanji Fairy back. If we, who are staunch supporters of the Immortal Palace, were to submit, others would naturally stop resisting. If we refuse, they would slaughter the chicken to warn the monkey, achieving the same effect..."
Lin Chen confirmed, "Did they mention me?"
Zhou Ting was taken aback and asked with slight confusion, "No, why does Martial Uncle ask?"
Lin Chen smiled bitterly, "I saved Yao Xuanji and disrupted several of Red-clothed Blood Envoy Wei Jiao’s schemes. I fear they might vent their anger on the Baihe Immortal Sect because of me..."
Zhou Ting realized something, confirmed, "Junior Martial Uncle, you’re overthinking it. As followers of the Immortal Palace, saving Xuanji Fairy is our duty. If the Heavenly Dao Alliance wants to take down the Immortal Palace, we would naturally be the first target. I don’t think this has anything to do with Junior Martial Uncle."
"Even if it does, everything you did was just and right, which we all know and support. If there are consequences, we will bear them together, and we can’t let Junior Martial Uncle take responsibility alone."
"While we, Baihe Immortal Sect, might not be a top-tier Sect, we’ve had our moments of glory, and we’re respectable, responsible. Junior Martial Uncle, please don’t take all this on yourself..."
Lin Chen nodded and said calmly, "Regardless, now that I am back, I must avenge this wrongdoing. But before that, take me to see the injured ones. I might be able to refine some medicinal pills and help out..."
