Xiuxian, I have a high martial arts world

Chapter 242: Two and a half years, Qingzhou changes
Lin Chen looked at Jiang Liqian in front of him with a shocked expression.

He did not doubt the truth of Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce's joining the Demon Sect.

After all, the Demon Sect is now very powerful and almost occupies the entire eastern region of Qingzhou.

It has become the second most powerful force in Qingzhou after the Wendao Sect.

There are even rumors.

The Demon Sect wants to replace the Wendao Sect and become the overlord of Qingzhou.

However, when asked about this rumor, the Wendao Sect seemed to be indifferent and did not make any response.

The issue is……

Lin Chen made a deal with President Zheng just a few days ago.

If the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce really defected to the Demon Sect, then he should have been ambushed by the Demon Sect.

But the problem is that the deal went exceptionally smoothly.

Jiang Liqian took a deep breath and said:
"This is indeed a little shocking, but it is true..."

"To be precise, it's not the entire Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce that has defected to the Demon Sect, but the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce's faction plus the neutral force Wenlu Academy... have defected to the Demon Sect together!"

After a pause, Jiang Liqian said:

"Do you remember the Fifth Young Master from a few years ago?"

"After the exploration of the ruins of the Dragon Spirit Sect, the Fifth Young Master gathered a group of cultivators and, under the pretext of returning the spirit stones, has been constantly contacting the cultivators who explored the ruins."

"Gradually, people discovered that the monks who had explored the ruins began to disappear."

"It was not until recently that I discovered... that the Fifth Young Master actually practiced the Devil Sect and killed thousands of foundation-building cultivators. He obtained their cultivation... and broke through the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop!"

"A few days ago, a Nascent Soul cultivator tried to capture him. But he was killed by the Fifth Young Master... I'm afraid his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul!"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

In just three years, he went from a half-step Nascent Soul to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul...

Damn, no wonder so many people want to practice magic.

This speed of cultivation is too terrifying.

"So, it was the Fifth Young Master's faction that defected to the Demon Sect?"

"If I remember correctly, the Fifth Young Master's father should be a strong contender for the next president... the largest faction in Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, right?" Lin Chen asked.

Jiang Liqian nodded after hearing this and did not deny it.

My goodness, the largest faction has joined the Demonic Sect.

What's the difference between that and joining the Demon Sect?
Lin Chen knew clearly that as a neutral faction, Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce would definitely have some people who were wavering.

For example, the Five Young Masters faction might be the pro-demon faction.

Relatively speaking... President Zheng's faction seemed to maintain absolute neutrality and did not ally with the Demon Sect.

Therefore, Lin Chen had not been betrayed by President Zheng before.

"Alas, but we must be on guard against others. It seems that we must suspend the transaction with Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Fortunately, in the past two or three years, Lin Chen has accumulated wealth worth tens of millions of spirit stones.

Temporarily stopping trading can also fully support the needs of spiritual practice.

At this time, Jiang Liqian hesitated for a moment and said:
"There is another piece of news. After listening to it... I hope you can calm down."

"The Nether Country has stopped advancing westwards and has stopped its border 50,000 miles east of Humanity City."

"At the same time, the old demon with blood pupils summoned a large number of demon cultivators and headed south..."

Going south...

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

To the south of the Underworld is... Yanlai Realm!

"Is the old demon with blood pupils going to launch a general attack on Changchun Sect?"

Lin Chen's face was serious.

Jiang Liqian nodded and said:

"To be precise, it's not about launching a general offensive... It's very likely that a general offensive has already been launched."

"The news I got was about the movements of the Demon Sect half a month ago. Now that half a month has passed, I'm afraid..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.

"Does my master know?"

Jiang Liqian nodded silently.

Lin Chen didn't have time to care about anything else and directly drove the magic weapon to the Medicine Mountain.

He was afraid that Han Jihai would be upset, so he rushed back to Changchun Gate.

If this is true, it would be tantamount to death...

……

However, when Lin Chen arrived at Changchun Gate, he was surprised by Han Jihai's calmness. He saw Han Jihai sitting on a master's chair, drinking tea and smoking welding cigarettes.

After seeing Lin Chen, he raised his eyelids and asked:
"You're here? Do you know all the news about Changchun Gate?"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.

Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen for a few seconds and asked:
"You kid, you won't do anything stupid and try to save the sect from danger, right?"

Lin Chen shook his head after hearing this.

Naturally, he would not seek death. Instead, he was worried that Han Jihai would become depressed and return to the sect.

Han Jihai heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this:

"Ah That's good."

"In fact, the founder has already planned a way out for the sect... right?"

"Five years ago, he asked us to come to Wendao City to prevent us from being dragged into the war...right?"

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said:
"Master, the demon sect is very powerful... we must leave a way out."

After getting Lin Chen's affirmative answer, Han Jihai took a deep puff of welding smoke.

The room was filled with smoke...

"Chen'er, do you still remember how your second senior brother died?"

Han Jihai asked, his voice calm.

Lin Chen nodded and said, "I know. He died at the hands of Jie Xiu..."

Cen Wushan died at the hands of Jie Xiu, but that Jie Xiu was backed by the Wild Wolf Sect.

Behind the Wild Wolf Faction are the Four Demon Sects and the old demon with blood-eyed pupils!

The Demon Sect started all this as early as twenty years ago.

Cen Wushan, Wanxun, the master of Zhenfeng...

There were also countless disciples and elders of the Changchun Sect who died in the battle with the Demon Sect.

Lin Chen knows everything.

But he also knew that the Demon Sect was now very powerful and Changchun Sect could not resist it.

Han Jihai took a few puffs of welding smoke and said:

"The death of your second senior brother is closely related to his character. You must be steady in your cultivation and never act rashly to cause trouble..."

“This is what I have been teaching you.”

"So... you must remember not to return to Changchun Gate, and just stay in Wendao City and practice well..."

Lin Chen carefully observed the expression of his master Han Jihai and saw that he did not seem to be lying.

So he felt relieved and nodded:

"Well, let's save the green mountains so that we don't have to worry about the firewood. We will take revenge when we have the chance."

"Master, shall I go back to Daocheng first?"

Han Jihai smiled and said:
"Stay for a quick meal. You can leave after dinner. It's been a while since you've had the food I cooked for you, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen thought about it and realized that he had not eaten it for a year.

Feeling nostalgic in his heart, Lin Chen nodded and said:
"Okay, then let's eat first and then leave."

That night, Han Jihai cooked a large table of dishes.

In addition to the spiritual vegetables grown by themselves, there are also some spiritual chickens and spiritual pig meat.

Although they are not top-quality spiritual food, they are all grown and raised at home.

It's all natural, and Han Jihai's cooking skills are indeed excellent.

"Chen'er, your junior brother has encountered some problems in his cultivation recently. You have the highest cultivation level among all the brothers and sisters, so you can give him some guidance." Han Jihai instructed after dinner.

"Yes, Master!"

After the meal, Lin Chen rested for the night on the medicine mountain.

That night, Lin Chen lived with his junior fellow apprentice Zhou Tieshan.

This made Zhou Tieshan very excited.

He asked Lin Chen all the questions about cultivation that he had accumulated over the year.

Lin Chen also answered them one by one, which benefited Zhou Tieshan a lot.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Zhou Tieshan sighed:

"Brother Lin, you are really amazing, much more amazing than Master..."

Lin Chen curled his lips. He was in the Nascent Soul stage while his master was only in the Golden Core stage. Naturally, his insights into cultivation were deeper than Han Jihai's.

"Alas, but Master seems to be troubled lately!"

"I noticed that he didn't sleep or meditate in the past few days. He just smoked and drank tea in the house..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Master, how long has this situation lasted?"
