Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 203 Retreat to Yanlai, Changchun Zhenren’s decision!
Yanlai Realm, Changchun Gate.

A few hours later, two flying boats landed on Changchun Mountain.

More than 2,000 disciples from Changchun Sect and Tiandan Sect got off the spirit boats in batches and entered the mountain gate under the arrangement of a group of elders.

Han Jihai stood at the gate of the sect's main hall, looking far to the north, and said to Lin Chen:
"Disciple, do you think our master can bring the sect master back?"

Lin Chen thought about it and nodded:
"If Master Wang were still here, he should be able to bring it back..."

Judging from the previous conversation between Changchun Zhenren and the Blood-eyed Demon, the strength of these two people should be on par with each other.

Perhaps the old demon with blood pupils is stronger, but if Changchun Zhenren wants to fight to the death, it will be disadvantageous to both sides.

Besides, Changchun Zhenren dared to go to the Demon Sect alone to ask for people, so I think he had some confidence.

The only thing we don’t know is whether Wang Changchun and the others are still alive after several hours?

There was a hint of sadness in Lin Chen's eyes.

Looking back inside and outside the sect, the disciples had different expressions.

Some of them escaped death and returned to their homeland, almost in tears. These were the disciples of Changchun Sect.

There were also disciples who looked pale and dejected. They were disciples of the Tiandan Sect whose sect was destroyed.

Most of the sect's disciples joined the sect in their teens and stayed in the sect for decades.

For them, this is a lifetime...

The place where I have lived my whole life was destroyed by the demon sect. It is impossible not to feel sad...

Soon, Li Zhenqian and Li Fengping came over and said to Han Jihai:

"Uncle Han, we want to go back to the Li family first..."

Han Jihai thought about it and agreed, "Okay, you go home to visit your parents... Remember to come back to the sect in three days."

Among the more than 2,000 disciples who escaped back, some were from the three major families and the royal family of Yanlai Realm.

They haven't been home for several years, and now the situation has changed drastically.

Yanlai City and Yudai City in the north naturally became the first line of defense... It would be unreasonable not to go home and take a look.

Soon, hundreds of disciples came to return home.

Han Jihai did not stop them and agreed to everything.

Most of the other disciples in the sect also returned to their residences or went down the mountain to visit relatives and friends.

Looking at the sect hall which was becoming increasingly deserted, Han Jihai sighed.

"Alas, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter... Is the great Righteous Alliance gone just like that?"

Lin Chen silently looked at his master who was looking sad, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Master, let's wait until our grandmaster comes back." Lin Chen advised.

……

It was not until evening that a green light flashed across the sky, drawing a long arc in the air.

This is a dragon that is dozens of feet long.

It is not a real dragon, but a wooden dragon formed by thick and twisted vines.

This wooden dragon looks lifelike and exudes dragon power.

It flew across the sky from afar and landed on the sect square.

"Look, the Grandmaster is back!"

"And the Sect Master, the Sect Master is back too..."

The disciples' surprised calls were heard from the square.

Han Jihai, who had been sad for the entire afternoon, suddenly became energized and ran directly to the sect square.

"Grandmaster, Senior Brother!"

Han Jihai looked surprised as he looked at the dozen or so people who had returned to the square.

In addition to Wang Changchun, several Jindan elders from the Tiandan Sect and Changchun Gate were also rescued.

"Senior Brother, you are still alive!" Han Jihai was a little bit unbelievable.

Wang Changchun rolled his eyes when he heard this and asked, "Why, do you still want me to die?"

At this moment, he was covered in blood, his face was pale, and his left arm was cut off at the root.

But his overall mood and spirit seem to be good.

"Ahem, how can that be possible? I don't care about this sect leader... or you should do it, senior brother!"

Han Jihai returned the clan leader token to Wang Changchun as if he was holding a hot potato.

Seeing this, Changchun Zhenren smiled and said:

"Han boy, after two hundred years you are still the same... you always hide behind others when doing anything."

"You've reached the Golden Elixir stage, but why haven't you become any more courageous?"

"Humph, it seems your master really taught you bad things..."

Han Jihai smiled awkwardly after hearing this, but did not dare to refute.

Lin Chen also had a strange look on his face.

In terms of seniority, Changchun Zhenren is the master's teacher of Han Jihai and Wang Changchun.

Wang Changchun's master is the eldest disciple of Changchun Zhenren, and Han Jihai's master is the second disciple of Changchun Zhenren...

However, a thousand years passed and those Jindan cultivators of the second generation of disciples had already passed away.

By the time of Han Jihai and Wang Changchun, they were the third generation of disciples.

Lin Chen is Han Jihai's direct disciple and can be considered a fourth-generation disciple.

In the sect, there are also some fifth- and sixth-generation disciples, but the relationships are not that close.

Changchun Zhenren looked around and said:

"Changchun, Jihai, the two of you call all the core disciples and elders of the sect to the main hall."

"I have something to announce."

"Ancestor, some disciples and elders have gone home. They will not be back until three days later..." Han Jihai reminded at this time.

After hearing this, Changchun Zhenren thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, a few days won't be too much of a hassle." "Three days later, I'll announce something in the sect's main hall..."

……

Three days later, in the main hall of Changchun Sect.

Many elders, including Lin Chen, and some core disciples in the late stage of foundation building entered the sect's main hall.

The sect elders and disciples who had returned home to visit their families also rushed back, totaling about a hundred people.

Changchun Zhenren sat casually in the position of the sect leader, looked around and said:
"Now that everyone is here, I will announce a few things."

Changchun Zhenren paused, and the disciples and elders below looked respectful.

"First of all, the Righteous Alliance will be disbanded starting today."

"Master Patriarch!"

"This……"

After hearing this, the disciples and elders below were all surprised, but they did not dare to ask more questions.

Lin Chen glanced at Wang Changchun and his master Han Jihai, and seeing that they looked normal, it was obvious that they had communicated in advance, so he felt relieved.

But there are still elders who are puzzled:

"Grandmaster, this demon sect is coming with great force... If we disband the Righteous Alliance, how can we fight against the demon sect?"

Upon hearing this, Master Changchun glanced at him and said calmly:
"What? Even if I don't disband... can you be a match for those demon sects?"

"We've been beaten to our doorstep! Our Changchun Sect has a thousand years of heritage... and yet you've completely wiped it out in just over a decade!"

Seeing that there was a hint of anger in Changchun Zhenren's words, the elders shut up and dared not say more.

After a while, seeing that no one dared to object, Changchun Zhenren said:
"The first bird to stick its head out gets shot..."

"Qingzhou is so big, and we are not the only three of us, Changchun Sect, Tiandan Sect, and Lingshou Sect..."

"Why should we be at the forefront? It's time for those other forces to worry about it."

There was a hint of profound meaning in Changchun Zhenren's tone.

"From today on, the Righteous Alliance will be disbanded."

"All disciples and elders, retreat back to Yanlai territory...with Yudai City as the border."

"We will not care about the demon cultivators north of Yudai City. But if those demon cultivators are so blind as to break into Yanlai's territory... don't hold back, beat them up!"

After hearing this, the elders and disciples below also looked excited.

In this way, the Righteous Alliance was only disbanded in name, but in reality it was no different from before.

Because whether they disband or not, all the disciples and elders of Changchun Sect can only retreat to Yanlai Territory.

Changchun Zhenren paused, then continued:
"The second thing is that from today onwards, the disciples and elders of the Tiandan Sect and the Lingshou Sect will be incorporated into our Changchun Sect..."

"The elders of the Tiandan Sect will be incorporated into Danfeng and serve as Danfeng elders... As for the elders of the Lingshou Sect... our Changchun Sect will open another peak, named Yushou Peak."

Speaking of this, there was a hint of reminiscence in Changchun Zhenren's eyes.

"Alas, eight hundred years ago, I came to this Eastern Region with those two old friends and founded a sect together..."

"Our three major sects are closely connected..."

“Now, they are one step ahead.”

After hearing this, several Tiandan Sect elders in the hall almost shed tears and said in trembling voices:

"Master Changchun... the founder of our Tiandan Sect, is he really gone..."

After hearing this, Changchun Zhenren nodded slightly and said:
"Yes, before you leave, fellow Daoist Tiandan, let me take good care of you..."

Upon hearing this, the elders and disciples of the Tiandan Sect all looked dejected.

After a while, an elder took the lead and said:

"In this case, I will rely on Grandmaster Changchun to take care of me from now on..."

"It's all up to the Changchun Patriarch!"

All the disciples of Tiandan Sect and Lingshou Sect said in unison.

Inside the hall, Lin Chen looked at this scene thoughtfully, thinking to himself:

"Master Changchun's methods are truly amazing."

"The disbanding of the Righteous Alliance is actually a shift in the contradictions... Since the evil path is unstoppable, why should the Changchun Sect rush to the front line?"

"There are so many forces in Qingzhou, and there are many who claim to be righteous... Let them fight to the death, and Changchun Sect can recover its vitality."

After a pause, Lin Chen continued to think:

"Secondly, with the destruction of the Tiandan Sect and the Lingshou Sect, it is not easy to deal with these disciples... Although the three sects have a good relationship, they are not one sect after all."

"But Master Changchun said that Tiandan really entrusted his son to someone else... Whether it's true or not, this is the best outcome."

"After all, this is what the Tiandan Sect disciples hope to see. They also need someone to rely on..."

Changchun Zhenren avoided internal discord with just a few words.

After all, he is an old fox who has lived for more than a thousand years. He is not only powerful but also calculating.

Lin Chen thought of the previous communication between Changchun Zhenren and Blood Eyed Demon...

“Perhaps, at that time, the two sides reached a compromise?”

"For Changchunmen, they are unable to continue the counterattack, so retreating is the best option."

“As for the old demon with blood pupils, he doesn’t want to fight to the death. Qingzhou is so big that there is more than just one Yanlai Realm…”

Lin Chen quickly figured this out. This was also a strategy once proposed by the Blue Star think tank.

Conflict shifts!

Fighting against the Demon Sect is not just the business of Changchun Sect and Tiandan Sect...

Since the Demon Sect’s target is the entire Qingzhou, other righteous forces must also join the fight!

"This way, Changchunmen will have a lot of time to breathe..."

Lin Chen thought silently.

"Of course, the premise of all this is that both sides are equal in strength..."

"A Nascent Soul cultivator! The appearance of Changchun Zhenren has completely broken the confrontation between the righteous and the evil!"
