Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 542 The Reunion of the Master and Disciple

The Thousand-Layer Mountain Range.

A figure darted through the mountains; it was Lin Chen, who had just emerged from the Thousand Layers Secret Realm.

After leaving the Thousand Layers Secret Realm, Lin Chen spent a day in the village, learning about the events that had occurred outside while he was inside.

First, he was most concerned about Yin Yue's situation. After Teng Cheng and the others came out, he handed the storage box to Yin Yue, and then Yin Yue returned to the Moon Soul Clan and quelled the rebellion.

However, that happened a year after he entered the Thousand Layers Secret Realm.

Qianshan and Qianlang also mentioned that the Yunyi Clan had sent a Xiantian expert, but the Yunyi Clan had not sent anyone over for a year.

This includes Feng Haoyu helping him cover it up, and the Entropy Clan helping him cover it up.

The reason he only stayed for one day before leaving was because he learned from Qian Shan that the Canglan Sect had issued a return-to-sect order a month ago.

All disciples of the Canglan Sect, regardless of whether they are from the inner or outer sect, or whether they are young or old... upon hearing this order, shall return to the sect immediately.

This news made Lin Chen restless. After asking the Entropy Clan to help him send a message to Yin Yue, Lin Chen chose to leave the Entropy Clan's territory.

Sects rarely issue orders to return to the sect. When they went to war with the Eight Desolations Sect, they issued an edict ordering disciples traveling outside the sect to return immediately without delay.

However, the order to return to the sect was issued primarily to protect sect disciples from assassination by the Yama Palace's killers, and also to reassure the other martial artists in the Canglan Domain, informing them that the sect was not only sending them to the battlefield to die, but also that all sect disciples would be recalled to fight.

The Order of Returning to One's Origin only needs to be issued once.

However, the sect's second announcement means that they are at a disadvantage in this battle, and there are not enough martial artists. They urgently need to replenish their forces.

As a disciple of the Canglan Sect, Lin Chen naturally returned immediately.

On the outskirts of the Thousand Die Mountains, Lin Chen suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and threw a punch at the mountain peak on his left.

boom!
On the left side of the mountain, a middle-aged man's expression changed drastically. He was clearly surprised that Lin Chen could sense his presence. In a panic, he struck out with his palm to meet the attack.

Click!

The collision of fist and palm produced a crisp sound of bones breaking in the middle-aged man's arm. His face was filled with terror as he tried to retreat, but Lin Chen took a step forward and arrived in front of him, throwing another punch.

This punch sent the middle-aged man slamming his body against the cliff behind him, embedding his entire body in it before he rolled to the ground along with the shattered rocks.

The middle-aged man lay on the ground, his body dented in several places, but his eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.

As a mid-stage Innate Realm cultivator, he was assigned by his clan to guard the outer perimeter of the Thousand Layers Secret Realm, specifically to keep an eye on Lin Chen.

Although the clan believed that Lin Chen had already left the Thousand Layers Secret Realm, they had not been able to find any trace of him in the Yan Dynasty. It was under these circumstances that the clan sent him here to guard the area.

Lin Chen is only at the third level of the Innate Realm. According to the potential rules of the Thousand Layers Secret Realm, he can only break through to the fourth level of the Innate Realm at most before he has to leave. I am at the middle stage of the fourth level of the Innate Realm, which is more than enough to deal with Lin Chen.

Even in death, he couldn't understand why he couldn't even withstand two punches from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at the middle-aged man on the ground and immediately took the storage box from his body. He did not intend to leave him alive, because he could guess the man's background from his clothing.

People of the Yunyi clan.

The presence of Yunyi warriors here indicates they are lying in wait, and even if they are kept alive, not much useful information can be obtained.

……

……

A month later.

Canglan domain.

Wanren Mountain.

Blood energy surged to the sky. At the highest peak stood three innate martial artists, and behind them were thousands of other martial artists. All of them looked solemnly at the plain ahead, where thunderous drums resounded, and a massive black torrent could be vaguely seen rushing in.

Warriors from the Eight Desolate Domains have arrived.

The black torrent stopped hundreds of feet away from the mountain peak. Thousands of martial artists exuded a murderous aura that soared to the sky, causing the expressions of many martial artists on the mountain peak to change.

In terms of numbers, the other side outnumbers them several times over.

"Junior brother, proceed according to the plan arranged by our senior brother in this battle, and do not act rashly."

"Don't worry, Second Brother, I understand."

Chai Daoqi nodded. His second senior brother was worried that he might be too impulsive and lead everyone down the mountain to fight the warriors of the Eight Desolate Domains.

The enemy outnumbers us far more than we do. Once we descend the mountain, we are likely to be surrounded. And since we cannot form a complete encirclement in these mountain ranges, our numerical advantage is not as significant.

What they need to do is stall for time until their senior brother finishes his battle and comes to their aid.

Three figures stepped out from the ranks of warriors from the Eight Desolate Domains. Upon sensing the aura of these three individuals, Liang Hanyang and Chai Daoqi's expressions became solemn.

Three martial artists at the mid-stage of the third realm of the Innate Realm.

Liang Hanyang's eyes narrowed slightly. On his side, only he and his third junior brother were at the third level of the Innate Realm, but his third junior brother had only recently broken through to the third level of the Innate Realm and was no match for any of the three opponents.

"Third junior brother, try to hold off one of them. I'll deal with the other two and then come help you."

"Don't worry, senior brother. Although our cultivation level is a bit lower, we still have some tricks up our sleeves."

Chai Daoqi agreed. Although he had only just entered the third stage of the Innate Realm, as a disciple personally taught by an elder and a prince of the dynasty, his cultivation techniques and treasures were far superior to those of ordinary martial artists in the third stage of the Innate Realm.

"Your Canglan Sect is already at a disadvantage on the battlefield. I advise you to surrender, and you may still be able to save your lives."

The voice of the warrior from the Eight Desolations Sect opposite was cold and sinister, yet it resounded throughout the entire mountain.

"Enough talk, let's fight!"

Chai Daoqi interrupted the other party directly. The current battlefield situation is unfavorable to the sect, so the sect disciples naturally have no thoughts about it. The key is that the martial artists of other forces in the Canglan Domain are likely to be restless.

"Since you're so eager to die, then so be it!"

The three innate martial artists from the Eight Desolations Sect exchanged glances and, without further ado, their three figures transformed into rainbows of light and headed towards the mountain peak.

"Well done!"

Chai Daoqi and Liang Hanyang exchanged a glance, and the two brothers shot out simultaneously.

The five separated upon contact. Chai Daoqi staggered a few times before regaining his footing in mid-air, suffering a loss in this first encounter.

"My two senior brothers, please hold Liang Hanyang back for now. After I have eliminated Chai Daoqi, we will join forces to kill Liang Hanyang together."

The three warriors from the Eight Desolations Sect communicated telepathically. One of them headed straight for Chai Daoqi, while the other two attacked Liang Hanyang.

The warriors of the Canglan Domain on the mountain peak were extremely tense at this moment. The outcome of this battle could very well determine the outcome of their current battlefield.

"I'm afraid we'll lose more than we win this battle."

The elders below, who were at the Innate Realm, also had worried expressions in their eyes. They were only at the first level of the Innate Realm and were nothing in the Canglan Domain. However, they could tell that the two direct disciples of the Canglan Sect were probably no match for the three people opposite them.

Just as these elders at the Innate Realm were worrying, a laugh suddenly rang out across the mountain range.

"Since it's a joint effort by fellow disciples, how could I be left out?"
