Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 624 Fallen leaves return to their roots
The royal prince has passed away!

Under Lin Chen's unusual threat, he left immediately.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

……

……

The destruction of the Illusionary Spirit Sect was much simpler than that of the Blood Moon Sect.

After the two royal princes left, the sect leader of the Illusionary Spirit Sect, along with many elders, took the initiative to leave the sect and surrender to Lin Chen before Lin Chen even arrived at the sect.

The Illusionary Spirit Sect is willing to merge into the Azure Wave Sect.

The martial artists from various forces who came with Lin Chen were not surprised that the Illusionary Spirit Sect would make such a choice. The Illusionary Spirit Sect no longer had any experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and with the royal family gone, they were powerless to resist.

Furthermore, although the Illusionary Spirit Sect is supported by the royal family, in order to maintain secrecy, the only people in the sect who are truly connected to the royal family are those at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. No one who has not reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm will know about the relationship between the sect and the royal family.

The disciples of the Illusionary Spirit Sect did not have much of a sense of belonging to the royal family.

Faced with the Illusionary Spirit Sect's decision to surrender, Lin Chen did not kill them. Instead, he left the matter to the sect leader to decide, and after touring the sect, he left.

The Illusionary Spirit Sect had no treasures that he found appealing.

Lin Chen could understand this. The Illusionary Spirit Sect was backed by the royal family. If the royal family chose to abandon the Illusionary Spirit Sect, they would inevitably empty its treasury. Although the Illusionary Spirit Sect was a super sect, it did not have much foundation. Unlike the Azure Wave Sect, which had Azure Wave energy, or the Myriad Fire Sect, which had innate fire, it was even inferior to the Blood Moon Sect.

The reason why the Illusionary Spirit Sect was able to become a super sect was largely due to the continuous resources provided by the royal family.

Three days later, Lin Chen left the Illusionary Spirit Sect, but the matter between the Illusionary Spirit Sect and the Azure Wave Sect did not end there.

The entire Yan Dynasty's martial artists were shocked by the decision made by the Canglan Sect.

The Canglan Sect refused to incorporate the Huanling Sect, and even gave up the territory of the Blood Moon Sect.

"Ye Feiran of the Canglan Sect is indeed decisive."

Some people didn't understand why the Canglan Sect was willing to give up such a large territory, but many more powerful figures were amazed and admired the decisiveness of the Canglan Sect's leadership.

The Canglan Sect's absorption of the Bahuang Sect will not cause any covetousness or dissatisfaction among other forces. Moreover, the two sects are adjacent to each other, so it is essentially just an expansion of the Canglan Sect's territory.

However, the Blood Moon Sect and the Illusion Spirit Sect do not cross borders with the Azure Wave Sect. Even if these two domains fall into the hands of the Azure Wave Sect, the Azure Wave Sect will have to put in a lot of effort to govern them.

In the years-long sect war with the Eight Desolations Sect, the Canglan Sect also suffered many casualties, and simply could not send out too many disciples to control and govern these two regions.

However, none of these are the most important things. The most important thing is that Lin Chen's lifespan is running out.

The other super powers are now allowing Lin Chen to conquer the Blood Moon Sect and the Illusionary Spirit Sect, partly because these two sects participated in the sect war between the Eight Desolate Sect and the Azure Wave Sect, and Lin Chen's actions are now a reasonable form of retaliation.

Secondly, it's because of Lin Chen's strength. In the battle of Canglan City, Lin Chen killed four experts at the Myriad Manifestations Realm. Only a few months have passed, but he still has a deterrent effect on many forces.

Thirdly and most importantly, Lin Chen's lifespan is limited. Even if the Blood Moon Sect and Illusion Spirit Sect's territories fall into Lin Chen's hands now, the various forces can wait until Lin Chen's death before fighting with the Canglan Sect for control.

Under these circumstances, it was a wise move for the Canglan Sect to voluntarily abandon the Blood Moon Sect and the Illusionary Spirit Sect.

That's the logic, but when faced with the enormous interests involved in the two territories, making such a decision is by no means an easy task.

The wages of avarice is death!

For a faction, the desire for territory is much like an individual martial artist's desire for martial arts resources.

However, the Canglan Sect did not gain nothing by giving up the territories of the Blood Moon Sect and the Illusionary Spirit Sect.

The treasure troves of both sects were completely emptied by the Canglan Sect. As for the Blood Moon Sect's territory, the Creation Sect immediately arranged for its elders and disciples to seize it the day after the Canglan Sect withdrew.

Seeing this, the other super powers knew that the Canglan Sect must have notified the Creation Sect in advance, otherwise the Creation Sect would not have reacted so quickly.

Similarly, in this matter, the Creation Sect owes the Azure Wave Sect a favor. ...

……

Thousand Machine Domain, Thousand Machine City.

"Yan'er, there's no need for you to worry about me."

Living in Murong Yan's courtyard, Lin Chen stopped her as she was about to go out again.

He had been in Qianji City for seven days. In the first few days, Murong Yan was unwilling to give up and took him to see the other two Supreme Elders of Qianji Sect, hoping to find a way to solve the problem of his soul dissipating.

Lin Chen didn't stop her at first, because he knew that Murong Yan wouldn't give up if he didn't let her try.

Now that the three Supreme Elders of the Thousand Machines Sect have all expressed their helplessness, Yan'er should give up hope.

Murong Yan stopped, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, but she didn't leave the courtyard. Instead, she stepped back to Lin Chen and nestled against him.

"Lin Chen, I want it!"

Murong Yan grasped Lin Chen's hand and placed it on her body, her beautiful eyes filled with deep affection and determination.

She hoped that she could leave Lin Chen with a child.

Jiang Qing is a princess of the Flower Clan. No matter how deep Jiang Qing's love for Lin Chen is, the Flower Clan may not agree to Jiang Qing being pregnant with Lin Chen's child. But it's different for me. As a princess of the Yan Kingdom, I am nothing in the Yan Dynasty.

She conceived Lin Chen's child, raised him to adulthood, and showed him what a truly great and upright person his father was.

She remembered that when she was at Canglan Martial Academy, she once talked to Lin Chen about death, and Lin Chen said something like, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural course of life, but that does not mean true death. True death is being forgotten. When no one in this world remembers a person, that is true death, because there is no trace of him in this world, and he has been completely erased from the dust of history."

She didn't want Lin Chen to be erased from history. Lin Chen, who was so radiant, should be remembered forever in the martial arts world, for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years...

The red phoenix soars high among the mountains, yet remains silent to others.

……

……

Ten days later.

A flying boat took off from Thousand Machine City and headed towards the East Sea.

On the airship, Lin Chen and Murong Yan nestled together on the deck, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

Returning to Canglan Island was Lin Chen's decision.

He didn't know if he could rebuild after the initial setback, so he needed to be prepared for failure.

He wanted to see his parents, his eldest brother, Instructor Yu, and Minister Kong.

As for his master and senior brothers, he had already bid them farewell when he left the Canglan Sect, so there was no need for him to return to the sect to say goodbye again.

Lin Chen's departure did not escape the notice of some people who were interested.

When they saw that the flying boat was heading towards the East China Sea, all the forces understood that Lin Chen probably knew his days were numbered and wanted to return to his roots.

……

"They've returned to the East China Sea. It seems they know their days are numbered and want to be buried in their homeland."

Upon receiving the report, Dongfang Canglang's eyes flashed with ruthlessness: "If you want to be buried in your homeland, you have to agree to it yourself. Once the news of Lin Chen's death comes, he will raze the entire Canglan Island to the ground."
