Chapter 168 Return the Favor and Annihilate Xinliang City

Xinliang City.

Lin Chen successfully sneaked into the city.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar city, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Xinliang City was originally just a small city with a small area.

But when the Righteous Alliance was stationed there before, there were more than 100,000 mortals and thousands of cultivators.

But now...

Lin Chen looked around and saw ruins everywhere.

Blood stains and some blood clots were seen everywhere on the ground, which seemed to be some parts of the human body.

Lin Chen used the Decayed Wood Art and walked around Xinliang City.

The original more than 100,000 mortals were almost dead.

Only a few thousand mortals were left, enslaved by the demon cultivators in the city to satisfy the selfish desires of these cultivators...

The beautiful women became the venting tools of these demon cultivators.

All the old and weak were sacrificed and refined into magic weapons for the demon cultivators...

As for the adult men, they did dirty and tiring work to ensure the basic life of the demon cultivators in the city.

Lin Chen hid in the shadows and occasionally saw one or two mortals passing by.

But these mortals were carrying goods, with scars all over their bodies, and their faces were numb and dull, like walking corpses.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was silent. At this time, Xinliang City was a real purgatory on earth...

"Some people are alive, but they are actually dead."

Lin Chen suddenly thought of this sentence.

"In this case, there is no need for this Xinliang City to exist..."

Lin Chen sneaked into the south of Xinliang City, where there were fewer mortals, but thousands of demon cultivators were stationed.

After burying a ten-foot-long "nuclear peace activist" in an unmanned house, Lin Chen sneaked back underground.

In the next three days, Lin Chen went to Beiwang City, Beiliang City and other cities through the underground safe house.

And buried several nuclear bombs in corners that no one noticed.

These cities are strategic points occupied by the Demon Sect. After Lin Chen detonated the first nuclear peace, other cities will certainly strengthen their defense.

Therefore, Lin Chen buried it in advance in case of emergency.

After doing all this, Lin Chen returned to Qinghe City.

At this time, the righteous and the evil were still in a standoff.

The evil cultivators would occasionally come out of Xinliang City and harass Lingxuan and Qinghe City on a small scale.

That day, Lin Chen climbed up to the top of Qinghe City and activated the detonation button in his hand.

With a tremor, a grand fireworks show took place over Xinliang City, which was 600 miles away from Qinghe City.

The red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the huge movement could be sensed by Qinghe City 600 miles away.

For a time, all the cultivators in Qinghe City were shocked.

The leader of Zhenfeng quickly gathered a group of elders and foundation-building disciples and climbed up to the top of the city.

"What happened?"

"Why is there such a big movement..."

Han Jihai looked a little frightened, sneaked up to Lin Chen and asked.

Lin Chen shook his head and said:

"I just heard the noise and rushed here. It seems... something happened over there in the Demon Sect."

As he said that, Lin Chen pointed to Xinliang City 600 miles away.

After seeing the iconic mushroom cloud, Han Jihai reacted and quickly exchanged glances with the master of Zhenfeng.

The master of Zhenfeng said immediately:

"I will contact Lingxuan City now to see what the situation is like there..."

As he spoke, the master of Zhenfeng took out a communication jade slip.

Lin Chen stood in place, looking at Xinliang City, six hundred miles away.

He watched the mushroom cloud gradually dissipate.

After a long while, the master of Zhenfeng put away the communication jade slip.

His eyes were three parts solemn and seven parts joyful.

"Something happened! A Tianleizi was detonated in Xinliang City!"

"According to the news from Lingxuan City... This Tianleizi was detonated in Xinliang City! More than half of the demon cultivators in the city were killed or injured!"

"At this time, the entire Xinliang City has been in chaos..."

After hearing this, the other Jindan elders on the side were excited.

Obviously, the origin of this Tianleizi is self-evident.

Some time ago, the old demon with blood pupils raised the bounty of Fengling Yueying Sect...

Xinliang City was destroyed today. There is no doubt that this was a counterattack from Fengling Yueying Sect!

Han Jihai also saw this. He winked and said to Lin Chen:

"My dear disciple, you really guessed it right!"

"The Fengling Yueying Sect was also forced to join the war, and now they are on the same boat with us..."

Lin Chen smiled and said nothing after hearing this.

How could he guess it right? When Lin Chen and Han Jihai talked about it, they had the idea of ​​nuclear peace.

It's just that they have found a suitable reason to do it now...

Lin Chen looked at the master of Zhenfeng Peak.

The leader of Zhenfeng Peak made a prompt decision:

"Old Han, you and Lin Chen stay in Qinghe City..."

"The rest of the Jindan elders, come with me to Lingxuan City!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Now Xinliang City is in chaos! We must take this opportunity to expand our victory!"

Soon, the leader of Zhenfeng Peak led four or five Jindan cultivators to Lingxuan City.

After gathering with the cultivators in Lingxuan City, a total of twelve Jindan cultivators flew towards Xinliang City.

Lin Chen nodded slightly when he saw this.

This is indeed a good opportunity to counterattack.

The Yuanying cultivator of the Demon Sect, the Blood Eyed Demon, is still healing in the rear.

And the nuclear bomb detonated by Lin Chen, although it will not kill all the Jindan cultivators in one second.

After all, the farther away from the nuclear bomb, the lower the lethality.

Those who are close may be injured or killed, and the Jindan who are far away should be fine.

But the problem is that the nuclear bomb detonated by Lin Chen will definitely make it impossible for the demon cultivators in the foundation building stage and below in the city to survive.

Thousands of demon cultivators, at least half of them were killed or injured...

The ensuing chaos will definitely be huge!

"Unfortunately, it is safer for me to stay in Qinghe City..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

He returned to the mansion and practiced quietly for half a day.

Half a day later, the master of Zhenfeng returned with three Jindan cultivators.

He summoned Lin Chen and Han Jihai as soon as possible.

"Old Wang, how is it?" Han Jihai looked a little expectant.

After hearing this, the master of Zhenfeng sighed and said:

"Alas, it was a half-catty... We killed a lot of demon cultivators, but our losses were not small..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

In such a good situation, the Righteous Alliance only fought a half-catty?

The gap between the righteous and the evil is really huge...

At this time, the master of Zhenfeng said:

"Originally, when we first started fighting, we had an absolute advantage."

"We killed five Jindan demon cultivators and at least hundreds of foundation-building demon cultivators..."

"The power of the Thunder Child is indeed terrifying. When we just arrived, the city was in chaos. Several Jindan demon cultivators died, and more than half of the Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators in the city were injured or killed..."

After a pause, the master of Zhenfeng changed the subject and said:

"But unfortunately, we just killed a few injured Jindan demon cultivators... and then the old monster Wu came!"

Old monster Wu...

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly. The master of Zhenfeng should be talking about the master of the Puppet Hall, Wu Xingkui!

Wu Xingkui is a nine-turn Jindan cultivator. His strength is not inferior to that of the old monster of ghost eyes, and he is even better.

But can Wu Xingkui alone turn the tide of the battle and repel twelve Jindan cultivators?

Lin Chen looked at the master of Zhenfeng with some doubts.

However, the head of Zhenfeng Peak said with a somewhat unpleasant expression:

"That old monster Wu is good at driving puppets. He directly summoned several puppets comparable to Jindan..."

"If that's all, we can still fight... But what's more terrifying is that one of the puppets seems to have the strength of Yuanying Stage!"

"In the end, we had to return in defeat, and the four Jindan elders who were left behind also died..."

Yuanying Stage Puppet?

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows. Does this Puppet Hall have such ability?

If they can refine a Yuanying puppet, how can the Righteous Alliance survive...

At this time, Han Jihai was also a little surprised:

"Old Wang, you are not mistaken, right? Is it really a Yuanying puppet? When did the Puppet Hall have such a foundation..."

The head of Zhenfeng nodded:

"I am sure that the puppet does have the strength of a Yuanying real person..."

"Moreover, it is a body comparable to that of a Yuanying cultivator. I suspect it is a human puppet!"

What is a human puppet? It is a puppet made from a dead cultivator.

But the problem is that a Yuanying human puppet means that the cultivator's body was at least in the Yuanying stage before his death...

"A body-refining cultivator comparable to that of a Yuanying..."

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the Red-faced Dark Ghost.

Or, Luo Ming!

In the previous battle with the Ghost Eyed Old Monster, Lin Chen learned from Li Tianhan that Luo Ming was a Yuanying cultivator thousands of years ago.

And he was a Yuanying cultivator who refined both body and law!

But after being killed by the Demon Sect, his soul was sacrificed and refined into a red-faced ghost...

But what about Luo Ming's body? That is the body of a Nascent Soul cultivator...

It is definitely not that easy to destroy.

"Could it be... that puppet was made with Luo Ming's body?"

"If so, I'm afraid it really has the strength of the Nascent Soul stage..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

No wonder the Puppet Hall can have such a strong foundation and sit firmly on the throne of the three major demon sects.

This Nascent Soul puppet alone is extraordinary.

"It seems that the gap between the Righteous Alliance and the Demon Sect is quite large!"

"Since the Puppet Hall also has the combat power of the Nascent Soul level, what about the Sacred Heart Sect?"

Lin Chen remained silent.

He suspected that the Demon Sect might have three Nascent Soul-level combat forces.

But on the other hand, the ancestor of the Righteous Alliance, the ancestor of the Spirit Beast Sect died in battle, and the ancestor of the Changchun Sect disappeared and there was no news...

Even the founder of the Tiandan Sect has not appeared for a long time.

"Right now, it's just the Jindan cultivators fighting desperately... The Yuanying cultivators haven't joined the battlefield directly yet."

"But if the Yuanying of the three major demon sects attack together, how can the Righteous Alliance hold out for so long?"

Lin Chen's mind kept turning.

One Yuanying cultivator can turn the tide of the battle.

Two Yuanying cultivators can destroy the Righteous Alliance like a dead tree or rotten wood...

But why didn't the Demon Sect do this?

Instead, it has been fighting a tug-of-war with the Righteous Alliance...

Lin Chen didn't know this, and he couldn't figure it out.

But there must be a deeper reason hidden in it.

Han Jihai was also shocked when he heard about the puppet at the Nascent Soul level, and asked:

"Old Wang, what should we do next?"

Han Jihai smiled bitterly and said:

"What else can we do? Just stay here and don't go out!"

"Although we lost four Jindan monks this time, the casualties of the Demon Sect were even more severe!"

"The power of this Sky Thunder is too great, and most of Xinliang City has turned into ruins... It is estimated that the Demon Sect will find it difficult to form an effective offensive for a while."

After a pause, Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen and said:

"Elder Lin, I'm afraid we need to improve some formations next... to prevent accidents!"

"It would be best to build a strong enough formation to protect the entire Qinghe City and Lingxuan City..."

Lin Chen nodded and said:

"It is our responsibility to share the worries of the Righteous Path Alliance."

…

After the explosion of Xinliang City, the morale of the Demon Sect dropped sharply.

However, the gap in strength between the good and the evil cannot be ignored, especially Wu Xingpuppet's Nascent Soul stage puppet, which makes the Righteous Alliance dare not act rashly.

The situation became deadlocked again.

On the one hand, the Demon Sect began to recruit demon cultivators from the rear to the front.

The entire occupied Purple Smoke Realm has become fertile soil for cultivating demonic cultivators.

Under various blood sacrifices and evil ways, the level of the demon cultivator improved much faster.

In just a few years of fighting, the number of demon cultivators in the foundation-building period had even more than doubled.

But the price paid was the death of hundreds of millions of mortals.

At the same time, due to the explosion of Tianleizi in Xinliang City, the demon cultivators who came to the front line to aid no longer gathered together.

Instead, they are stationed at a certain distance from each other, which not only ensures that they can assist each other, but also ensures that too many people will not be directly killed by Tianleizi.

Compared with the demonic cultivators, the Righteous Alliance is still holding on to the two cities of Lingxuan and Qinghe.

The Tiandan Sect sent several more Jindan monks, plus the formations arranged by the Changchun Sect.

It has the meaning of making the two cities impregnable.

The only difference is that Lin Chen or Xu Shi's bounty has increased again.

Reached eight million spirit stones!

Not only would Lin Chen be moved by such a terrifying price, but even some Nascent Soul monsters would be moved by it.

Until one day two months later.

Lin Chen sent the new Long Ba and Feng Jiu to trade at the Guangyuan Auction.

After meeting Long Ba, President Liu still had the same surprised expression.

"Fellow Daoist Long! It's great to see that you are okay!"

"This is the spiritual stone from the past few months..."

President Liu handed over a storage bag containing the five hundred thousand spirit stones that had been mailed and auctioned in the past three months.

Long Ba nodded slightly without being verbose.

He directly took out Jin Yuandan and a batch of magic weapons.

"President Liu, this is the auction for the next six months."

Long Ba's tone was cold, and he wanted to leave after speaking.

But he was quickly stopped by President Liu.

"Wait a minute, Fellow Daoist Long Ba... I wonder, is Fellow Daoist Xu Shi okay?" President Liu asked tentatively.

"He's fine. I'll be in charge after the transaction. President Liu doesn't have to worry about it." Long Ba paused for a moment.

President Liu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said:

"Oh, it's okay if it's okay! It's okay if it's okay!"

"In that battle three months ago, I heard that the old devil with blood eyes took action himself..."

Speaking of this, President Liu suddenly blamed himself and said:

"Fellow Taoist Long Ba, you blame me for not being able to detect people. As for Yang Rong, I really didn't expect that she would betray..."

President Liu showed a frightened expression.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Dragon! Our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce has always been based on integrity!"

"Although Yang Rong is dead...our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce will definitely give an explanation to your sect!"

At this time, Lin Chen was far away in Qinghe City.

Looking at the synchronized screen from the device in his hand, a sneer appeared on his face.

Thinking of Yang Rong who followed Long Ba three months ago, Lin Chen murmured:

"That Yang Rong, a dignified alchemy monk..."

"Did the deacon of Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce really betray the chamber of commerce... and stab me in the back?"
