Chapter 403: Chapter 116: Slaughter, Nothing but Slaughter

Lin Chen looked up, gazing toward the northwest.

There, a dense mass of shadows was flying over from the sky.

Like a swarm of locusts, black birds...

Ten enormous spiritual boats, thousands of cultivators traversing the air, heading toward the Changchun Sect.

The Demon Cultivator army presses at the border!

Like a massive black cloud, pressing toward the Changchun Sect.

"The Nether Realm army is here..."

Lin Chen felt a heavy heart.

The Demon Cultivator army from the Nether Realm arrived earlier than he had anticipated.

The fact that the Demon Sect army could reach the Changchun Sect indicated that the entire Yanlai Realm might have been suppressed by the Demon Cultivators.

However, it seems that the Demon Sect army might not have faced much resistance along the way.

The Royal Family of Yan Country led the betrayal, and the entire Yanlai City was already destroyed.

Further south, although there were a few more cities, none were a match for the Demon Sect army’s attack.

Thus, the Demon Cultivator army advanced rapidly from the north of Yanlai City directly to the Changchun Sect.

During this time, it faced almost no resistance.

"So, should I flee?"

Lin Chen gazed at the Demon Cultivator army in the air, feeling heavy hearted.

Reason told him that now was the best opportunity to escape.

To fight against the entire Nether Realm Demon Cultivators alone was obviously unrealistic.

Even though Lin Chen was a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, one wrong move could endanger his life...

But emotion told Lin Chen that he absolutely couldn’t flee like this.

After contemplating for a long while, Lin Chen took a deep breath and murmured:

"Alas, ultimately I am swayed by emotion and cannot remain detached from matters!"

"However, even if dealing with Demon Cultivators, I must not expose my own identity."

Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and a yellow-brown light flashed across his body.

Earth Escape Technique!

In almost just half a two-hour, Lin Chen escaped into the depths a thousand miles underground, entering a safe house beneath the earth.

Afterward, Lin Chen disguised and concealed his breath, transforming into Xu Shi’s appearance.

A half two-hour later, Lin Chen reappeared in a desolate mountain.

He gazed toward the northwest, where the Changchun Mountain Sect was located.

The barren mountain where Lin Chen was currently situated was hundreds of miles away from the Changchun Sect.

But even separated by hundreds of miles, Lin Chen still sensed the fierce battle vibrations.

The Demon Sect army and the cultivators of Changchun Sect... had already started fighting.

"No matter what, I must intervene in some way."

"In this world, there’s no such business that always makes a profit without any loss..."

Lin Chen took a deep breath, and with a swing of his hand, appeared hundreds of Martial Arts Puppets around him.

A full three hundred Martial Arts Puppets, each Martial Arts Puppet possessing combat power equivalent to that of a mid-stage Golden Core.

A more pure exotic metal content, combined with nanotechnology and energy devices... even incorporating the abilities of array, talisman, and other aspects of the Cultivation Realm.

"The second generation combat-type Martial Arts Puppet is certainly much stronger than the first generation!"

Lin Chen’s heart felt a slight pain.

These three hundred Martial Arts Puppets were the culmination of Great Xia’s research efforts over the past decade.

Countless materials and funding had been expended to ensure Lin Chen’s safety in the Cultivation Realm.

But now, due to Lin Chen’s whim, they were placed in a dangerous situation.

"However, if the Martial Arts Puppets are gone, they can be remade... if one’s aspirations are not achieved, it’s very difficult to compensate later on."

Lin Chen took a deep breath.

For one who cultivates the Martial Path, achieving aspiration is key.

He journeyed all the way to the Changchun Sect, witnessing thousands of miles of devastation, experiencing a living hell.

Also, from True Man Changchun’s words, he understood the so-called Demon Sect, the world’s power dynamics...

Having known so much, if Lin Chen does nothing... then his cultivation as an Immortal would have been in vain! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Hehe, since I want to repay the Martial Path with justice... then let the lives of the Demon Cultivators fill this void!"

A fierce glint flashed in Lin Chen’s eyes.

Thereafter, he issued commands to the three hundred Martial Arts Puppets.

Three hundred Martial Arts Puppets flew toward different directions.

Once these Martial Arts Puppets departed, Lin Chen’s heart stirred slightly and he summoned a special puppet.

This puppet, nearly a zhang tall, as large as a small mountain.

Unlike ordinary Martial Arts Puppets, its physique and aura were more akin to a living person, with a head of long red hair.

Except, it wore a set of battle armor, with a helmet hiding the red hair.

Luo Ming!

More accurately, it was the transformed Puppet Luo Ming.

More than a decade ago, Lin Chen had reaped significant rewards in a fight against the Demon Sect.

Besides the two Red Tassel Spears, he also retrieved the flesh body of the former Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator Luo Ming.

Originally in the hands of Puppet Hall, the strength of Luo Ming’s flesh body was already above Half-Step Nascent Soul, yet slightly weaker than an initial-stage Nascent Soul.

But after ten years of research and various weapon and equipment improvements by Great Xia Country.

Today, the strength of the Puppet Luo Ming has increased by several times.

Even when facing a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator, it doesn’t fall short.

This puppet is also one of Lin Chen’s trump cards.

Gazing at the tall figure before him, Lin Chen softly spoke:

"Senior Luo Ming, during your life you fought to overthrow the Demon Sect, but did not succeed..."

"Yet in this battle, you might be able to fulfill your unfulfilled wishes."

Lin Chen’s figure flashed, escaping to a distant place, with the Puppet Luo Ming following closely.

...

Yanlai Realm, a small town hundreds of miles away from Changchun Mountain.

Lin Chen did not choose to directly head to the Changchun Sect, as it was not the wise choice.

The main force of the Demon Cultivator army was currently stationed at the Changchun Sect.

The fall of the Changchun Sect was inevitable, Lin Chen saw no need to directly confront the Demon Cultivator main force.

Whereas in Yanlai Realm, all major towns and cultivator marketplaces were currently under full invasion by Demon Cultivators.

Small groups of Demon Cultivators were just suitable for Lin Chen to take action.

At this moment, the sky was growing dark.

Lin Chen stood on a hillside outside the town, looking at the small town a hundred yards away.
