Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 168: Return the favor and annihilate Xinliang City
New Liang 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 also more than 100,000 mortals and thousands of monks.

But now...

Lin Chen looked around and saw ruins everywhere.

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

Lin Chen used the Rotten Wood Technique and walked around Xinliang City.

Most of the more than 100,000 mortals died.

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

The beautiful woman was reduced to a tool for these evil cultivators to vent their anger.

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

As for the adult men, they do the dirty and tiring work to ensure the basic living of the demon practitioners in the city.

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

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

Lin Chen was silent upon seeing this. At this moment, Xinliang City was a real hell 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 Xinliang City to exist..."

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

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

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

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

These cities are strategic points occupied by the Demon Sect. After Lin Chen detonates the first nuclear bomb, other cities will certainly strengthen their defenses.

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 forces of good and 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 to the top of Qinghe City and activated the detonation button in his hand.

As the earth shook, a grand fireworks show took place in the sky above Xinliang City, which was 600 miles away from Qinghe City.

A red mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the huge noise could be felt in Qinghe City, six hundred miles away.

For a moment, all the monks in Qinghe City were shocked.

The master of Zhenfeng Peak quickly gathered a group of elders and foundation-building disciples and climbed to the top of the city wall.

"What happened?"

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

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 at the Demon Sect."

As he spoke, Lin Chen pointed to Xinliang City six hundred miles away.

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

The leader of Zhenfeng Peak made a prompt decision:
"I will contact Lingxuan City now to see what the situation is like there..."

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

Lin Chen stood where he was, looking at Xinliang City six hundred miles away.

I 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 thunder bomb exploded in Xinliang City!"

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

"At this moment, the entire Xinliang City is in chaos..."

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

Obviously, the origin of this Heavenly Thunder Seed is self-evident.

Some time ago, the old demon Xuetong raised the bounty for the Fengling Yueying Sect...

Xinliang City was destroyed today. There is no doubt that this was a counterattack from the Fengling Yueying Sect!
Han Jihai also noticed 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 in the same boat with us..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen smiled but said nothing.

How could it be a correct guess? When Lin Chen and Han Jihai talked about it, they already had the idea of ​​nuclear peace.

It's just that I've found a suitable reason to do it now...

Lin Chen turned his gaze towards the master of Zhen 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, follow me to Lingxuan City!"

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

Soon, the master of Zhenfeng Peak brought four or five Jindan cultivators and rushed to Lingxuan City.

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

Seeing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly.

This is indeed a good opportunity to fight back.

The Nascent Soul cultivator of the Demon Sect, the old demon with blood pupils is still recuperating in the rear.

The nuclear bomb detonated by Lin Chen was not enough to kill all the Jindan cultivators instantly.

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

Those who are close may be injured or killed, but those 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 any demon cultivator in the city who is at the Foundation Establishment stage or below to survive.

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

What will surely follow is huge chaos!

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

Lin Chen thought silently.

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

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

And he summoned Lin Chen and Han Jihai immediately.

"Lao Wang, what's going on?" Han Jihai looked a little expectant.

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

"Ah, it's a fair fight... We killed quite a few demon cultivators, but we also suffered quite a bit of damage..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this.

Under such a favorable situation, the Righteous Alliance only fought half as hard?

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

At this time, the leader of Zhenfeng said:

"Originally, when we first started fighting, we had the absolute upper hand."

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

"The power of the Thunderbolt was indeed terrifying. When we first 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 leader of Zhenfeng changed the subject and said:

"But unfortunately, just when we killed a few injured Jindan demon cultivators...that old monster Wu came over!"

Wu the Monster...

Lin Chen's heart was slightly moved. The master of Zhenfeng should be the master of Puppet Hall, Wu Xingkui! Wu Xingkui was a ninth-level golden elixir cultivator. His strength was not inferior to that of the ghost-eyed old monster, and he was even stronger.

But can just one Wuxing puppet turn the tide of the battle and defeat twelve Jindan monks?
Lin Chen looked at the master of Zhen Peak with some doubt.

However, the master of Zhenfeng Peak looked a little unhappy and said:
"That old monster Wu is good at driving puppets. He directly summoned several puppets comparable to golden elixirs..."

"If that's all, we can still fight... But what's even more terrifying is that one of the puppets seems to have the strength of the Nascent Soul 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 the Puppet Hall have such ability?

If they can refine a Nascent Soul puppet, there will be no room for the Righteous Alliance to survive...

At this time, Han Jihai was also a little surprised:
"Old Wang, you must have made a mistake, right? Is it really a puppet in the Nascent Soul stage? When did the Puppet Hall have such a foundation..."

The leader of Zhenfeng nodded and said:
"I am sure that the puppet does have the strength of a Nascent Soul True Person..."

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

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

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

"A cultivator who can be compared to a Nascent Soul?"

Lin Chen's heart moved slightly, and he suddenly thought of the red-faced ghost.

Or rather, Luo Ming!
In the previous battle with the Ghost-Eyed Monster, Lin Chen learned from Li Tianhan that Luo Ming was a Nascent Soul cultivator from thousands of years ago.

Moreover, it is a dual Nascent Soul that can be used for body refining and Dharma cultivation!

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

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

It is definitely not that easy to be destroyed.

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

"If this is true, I'm afraid he really has the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly.

No wonder the Puppet Hall has such a powerful foundation and sits 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 Nascent Soul-level combat power, what about the Sacred Heart Sect?"

Lin Chen remained silent.

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

On the other hand, on the Righteous Alliance side, the Spirit Beast Sect's ancestor died in battle, and the Changchun Sect's ancestor 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 each other... The Yuanying cultivators haven't directly joined the battlefield 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 thoughts kept turning.

A Nascent Soul cultivator can turn the tide of a battle.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators can destroy the current Righteous Alliance with ease...

But why didn’t the Demon Sect do this?

Instead, they have been engaged in a seesaw battle with the Righteous Alliance...

Lin Chen had no idea about this and couldn't understand it.

But there is definitely a deeper reason behind this.

Han Jihai was also shocked when he heard about the Yuanying-level puppet and asked:
"Old Wang, what should we do next?"

Han Jihai smiled bitterly and said:

"What else can we do? Just stay here and stay!"

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

"This Sky Thunder is so powerful that most of Xinliang City has been reduced to ruins... It will be difficult for the Demon Sect to organize an effective offensive in a short time."

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

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

"It would be best if we could build a formation that is strong enough to protect the entire Qinghe City and Lingxuan City..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded and said:
"It is our responsibility to share the worries of the Righteous Alliance."

……

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

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

The situation became deadlocked again.

On the one hand, the Demon Sect began to transfer magic cultivators from the rear to the front line.

The entire occupied Zi Yan Realm became fertile soil for nourishing demonic cultivators.

With various blood sacrifices and evil ways, the realm of the demon cultivators improved much faster.

After just a few years of fighting, the number of demon cultivators in the foundation-building stage has more than doubled.

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

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

Instead, they were stationed at a certain distance from each other, which ensured that they could assist each other and that not too many people would be killed directly by the thunder.

Compared with the demon cultivators, the Righteous Alliance is still defending the two cities of Lingxuan and Qinghe.

The Tiandan Sect sent several Jindan monks, and added the formation set up by the Changchun Sect.

It seems that the two cities should be built as impregnable as a fortress.

The only difference is that the bounty on Lin Chen or Xu Shi has increased again.

Reached eight million spirit stones!

Such a horrific price would make Lin Chen excited, not to mention some old monsters in the Nascent Soul stage.

Until one day two months later.

Lin Chen sent the new Long Ba and Feng Jiu to the Guangyuan auction for the transaction.

After meeting Long Ba, President Liu still had that surprised expression on his face.

"Friend Long! I'm so glad to see that you're okay!"

"This is the spiritual stone from a few months ago..."

President Liu handed over a storage bag containing 500,000 spirit stones earned from auctions over the past three months.

Long Ba nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

He directly took out the Jinyuan Pill and a batch of magic weapons.

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

Long Ba spoke in a cold tone and was about to leave.

But he was quickly stopped by President Liu.

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

"He's fine. I'll take care of the transaction after this. President Liu, don't worry about it." Long Ba paused.

After hearing this, President Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Oh, I'm glad you're okay! I'm glad you're okay!"

"In the battle three months ago, I heard that the old demon with blood pupils personally took action..."

Speaking of this, President Liu suddenly blamed himself:

"Fellow Daoist Long Ba, it's all my fault for not being able to judge people well. As for Yang Rong, I really didn't expect her to betray me..."

Chairman Liu showed an expression of lingering fear.

"Don't worry, Brother Long! Our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce has always been based on integrity!"

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

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

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

Thinking of Yang Rong who tracked Long Ba three months ago, Lin Chen murmured:
"That Yang Rong, a Jindan cultivator..."

"Did the steward of Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce really betray the Chamber of Commerce... and backstab me?"
