Chapter 328 Returning to Nancheng
Not to mention the Grand Elder, even the Tree Ancestor couldn't possibly perceive the true truth.

Only Zhang Jin could possibly be the person closest to the truth.

Zhang Jin previously worked with Zhong Nanshan, and he personally handled many aspects of the Bagua Jiucheng Project.

These things were all written in Zhong Nan's documents, and Lin Chen remembered them clearly.

Zhang Jin sat down and said, "Actually, when I went to Nancheng, I also thought that the only way to resolve this monster chaos might be the Bagua Nine Cities left by my teacher."

After a brief pause, Zhang Jin told Lin Chen that the solution Zhong Nan had proposed was indeed without any problems.

Because on that day, Zhong Nan was preparing to build the strongest defense system for the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, which was the Bagua Nine Cities Plan.

According to Zhong Nan's calculations, as long as this Bagua Nine Cities system is perfected, the Cangling Ancient Kingdom will be fearless against demons and foreign countries in the future.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen frowned and asked, "Did they have such methods that day?"

Zhang Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Bai Ling's strength should have been at its peak at that time. If someone wanted to harm her, she should have been able to sense it."

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true.

Given Bai Ling's strength at the time, she would have been able to detect if anyone wanted to harm her.

However, Lin Chen had a feeling that this matter was not so simple.

This matter is just too strange.

Zhang Jin thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything.

Zhang Jin's appearance did provide some relief for Bai Ling.

When they were at the National Teachers' College, Zhang Jin took the best care of Bai Ling, and Bai Ling always regarded him as her senior brother.

At this moment, they are by her side, and this companionship gives Bai Ling's heart something to rely on.

About five days later, Bai Ling's mood finally improved a lot, but she was still confused about the future.

Lin Chen believed that Bai Ling was capable of pulling herself together. Although she had lost Xiu Xiu, she still had three spirit beasts.

These three spirit beasts are like her children, and she will become strong again.

However, Bai Ling's roots are now severed, making it impossible for her to cultivate or even contract with spirit beasts.

This is extremely dangerous.

Lin Chen also personally consulted the Tree Ancestor, who told him that it was possible that Bai Ling had failed to catch the final lightning strike from the Devouring Beast, which was why she only survived but not her cultivation.

Lin Chen remained silent after listening.

In the past, the Devouring Beast relied solely on its physical strength to withstand the power of its destiny.

To achieve such a feat, the Devouring Beast would have been incapable without an unwavering belief.

Seven days later, with the help of the Tree Ancestor, Lin Chen and his group had traveled halfway through the southern part of the city.

Along the way, they heard a lot of news.

Under the call of the Tian Shu Pavilion, humanity launched a major counterattack against the demon race.

Without the Nine-Headed Serpent, the demon race's morale is nowhere near that of the human race.

In just a few days, they were utterly defeated and routed.

At this point, the demon race proposed a reconciliation and used the human cities they controlled as a threat.

They told the humans that if they did not choose to negotiate, then the end result would be a lose-lose situation.

"What do you think?" Lin Chen asked.

During the last beast tide, the demon race pulled the same stunt to force the human race to negotiate.

Therefore, the chaos caused by monsters today has come about.

Zhang Jin saw things very clearly. He said, "Pain is temporary. No matter how big the scar is, it will eventually heal. But if you don't pull the nail out, the wound will keep hurting."

Lin Chen felt that Zhang Jin's words made a lot of sense.

However, no one knows what choice Heaven will make.

Only one day had passed when things changed.

Before the Tian Shu Pavilion could make an announcement, the human race was the first to speak out.

These people have already stated that they will not accept reconciliation, because enough people have already died in the demon race's rebellion. This time, the demon race dares to break off relations, so they will force a war.

This statement received responses from city after city, a result that surprised even the demon race.

No one expected that the human race would be so tough now.

The war between the two races was like a complete falling out, with constant and fierce fighting.

Lin Chen and Zhang Jin knew that the most difficult battle to fight was probably in the south.

Because on that day, the demon race took the lead in launching a war in the south, attempting to control the south and establish a demon empire.

Sure enough, within just a few days, news of war began to arrive from the south.

A demon clan massacred the city, intimidating the human race.

However, the humans quickly retaliated, slaughtering all the demons in the city. After that, whenever they encountered a demon, they killed all the prisoners of war.

This tit-for-tat tactic proved effective.

Humans were afraid, but they overcame that fear through sheer willpower.

The demon race is different.

They fear that one day they too will fall into the hands of humans, who will not give them a chance to speak and will kill them all.

In a short time, two factions emerged among the demon race.

The first group is the surrender faction.

The second group is the pro-war faction.

When Lin Chen passed through several cities, he also heard about the Monster Hunter Guild.

The Monster Hunter Guild played a vital role in this Southern Uprising, and it could even be said that it protected the safety of the vast majority of the population.

Therefore, many people spontaneously join the Monster Hunter Guild.

Its popularity even surpasses that of the Monster Hunter Guild of yesteryear.

Lin Chen thought this was a good thing, as that was the true nature of the Monster Hunter Guild.

At this moment in the south, the Monster Hunter Guild's power is growing stronger and stronger, to an unimaginable degree.

Seven days later, Lin Chen and his group finally arrived in Nancheng.

Before even entering the door, I saw Chen Yun.

"Lin Chen?!"

Chen Yun was acting as a support team, preparing to leave the city to pick up the wounded. When she saw Lin Chen, she walked up to him.

"Sister Yun?" Lin Chen stepped forward, about to speak, when Chen Yun glanced at Bai Ling.

She had heard some of the information, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "If you need anything, just go directly to Chen Ming."

Lin Chen nodded.

Now that the southern city is destroyed and many places are being rebuilt, it's uncertain whether Bai Ling's home still exists.

Someone had delivered the message, and soon Chen Ming arrived with Li Zhen and the others.

Upon seeing Bai Ling, Chen Ming and the others all knelt on one knee and said in unison, "Greetings, Immortal Venerable."

Bai Ling looked at them, pondered for a moment, and finally just nodded.

Lin Chen quickly said, "She's in a bad mood right now, please understand."

“We know,” Chen Ming said earnestly. “The Immortal Venerable saved our lives. No matter what the future holds, she will always be the Immortal Venerable in our hearts.”

After saying that, Chen Ming quickly said something else.

They have done their best to restore Bai Ling's home, and now she can go back.

Lin Chen expressed his gratitude with both hands, and then said, "I'll take her home first, and I'll come to visit again later."

"Okay." Chen Ming nodded.

After Lin Chen left, Li Zhen followed beside him. He didn't know Bai Lingsu, so he naturally didn't care about him. Instead, he said, "Has your power been exposed after all?"
