Chapter 755: Chapter 755: The Situation Changes Again, Red Soul Hall Attacks

"Does this mean that Bodhi Hall has betrayed the Divine Flame Alliance and joined forces with the Demon Cultivators of Red Soul Hall?"

Mu Qianqiu pondered deeply and also realized the issue with Bodhi Hall.

That was an army of fifty thousand from Red Soul Hall. If there were powerhouses from the Heavenly Human Realm who were concealing their aura, it would be one thing for Bodhi Hall not to notice them. However, with such a vast army of fifty thousand, including both lower and medium grade cultivators, it was impossible for Bodhi Hall not to be aware of them.

The other party intentionally failing to report was a clear act of betrayal against the Divine Flame Alliance.

"If Bodhi Hall dares to do this, then it’s likely not just our sect they’ve laid an ambush for. The situation is probably grim for the support troops from the other sects as well!"

Lin Chen sighed, realizing that without the support of reinforcements, it would be even more challenging for them to handle the oncoming Dark Demon Race’s army.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Mu Qianqiu was so preoccupied with worrying about his own sect’s situation that he hadn’t considered this possibility.

He immediately looked awful and sent a message to the other powers to inquire about their situation.

As expected, the feedback was similar to theirs; the reinforcements from all the other forces had also encountered ambushes en route, suffering grievous losses, and the outlook was far from optimistic.

However, the circumstances of the other sects were somewhat better than Formation Sect’s, because the routes taken by the reinforcements from these forces to Luoyun Mountain Range did not pass through Qin Tianling, so they were not ambushed by the army of Red Soul Hall, only attacked by some of Red Soul Hall’s powerful cultivators.

Although the other four forces were also intercepted, without the deployment of Red Soul Hall’s entire army, mere powerful cultivators were not enough to inflict significant damage on the armies of the various forces. It merely slowed down their reinforcements.

After hearing Mu Qianqiu’s account, Lin Chen’s face did not show relief. Instead, he grew more solemn, his intuition telling him that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"This matter is probably not as straightforward as it appears on the surface!"

"If Bodhi Hall has truly completely turned and joined forces with Red Soul Hall, then Red Soul Hall sending some troops and army to block us might be a feint, showing they’re interfering with their reinforcements. But what if their real target is the headquarters of the major powers?"

Lin Chen softly said, although he didn’t understand why Red Soul Hall and Bodhi Hall would be so bold—as the headquarters of the various forces were defended by strong, top-tier sect elders.

But Lin Chen had such a premonition.

Upon hearing this, Mu Qianqiu immediately shared the possibility with the other four forces. By now, he had immense trust in Lin Chen’s hunches.

Once the four forces received Mu Qianqiu’s warning, they promptly sent a message to their sect headquarters, and the feedback confirmed their fears. Red Soul Hall had indeed launched attacks on the forces of each sect.

Similarly, the message to Bodhi Hall was also about the attack by Red Soul Hall, although the attacking troops were fewer.

Of course, whether it was because of Bodhi Hall’s true collusion with Red Soul Hall or due to geographical reasons remained unknown.

In the midst of the Luoyun Mountain Range, after the forces sent messages to their respective sects, they received another piece of dire news.

That was, their sects were under attack by Red Soul Hall and had to recall the armies originally meant to reinforce the forces within the Luoyun Mountain Range to deal with Red Soul Hall.

For the armies stationed in the Luoyun Mountain Range, this was like a bolt from the blue; their hope was shattered instantly.

Red Soul Hall had finally shown their true colors, attacking the various sects at such a time. No matter what, everyone was part of the Human Race, and stabbing them in the back while resisting the Alien Race and Evil Demons was truly outrageous.

After learning that their armies had to return to their sects, the morale of Sky Horse Camp, which had just been revived, plummeted once more. Without reinforcements, they were at a loss as to how they could continue to confront the Dark Demon Race’s army.

Fortunately for them, Red Soul Hall had not launched any attacks on the Demon Race within the Luoyun Mountain Range.

Thus, the Demon Race still had reinforcements.

It seemed that the Dark Demon Race also feared inciting collective wrath, which would lead the forces of the Divine Flame Alliance and the Demon Race to unite against Red Soul Hall. That would indeed be a loss not worth the gain for Red Soul Hall.

Red Soul Hall refrained from moving against the Demon Race partly because the Demon Race’s territory was right in the middle of the Luoyun Mountain Range—very remote. Moreover, with Red Soul Hall’s army engaged in attacks on the various powers of the Divine Flame Alliance, they probably didn’t have sufficient troops to attack the Demon Race.

After learning of Red Soul Hall’s actions, the Demon Race also dispatched some troops as a precaution. Consequently, this reduced the number of Demon Race troops heading to the frontline to support the battle against the Dark Demon Race.

Facing their own sect’s disregard and absence of reinforcements, everyone began to harbor thoughts of abandoning resistance against the Dark Demon Race’s army.

After all, staying to fight to the death and prevent the Dark Demon Race’s army from spreading to the Eastern Domain seemed like a hopeless last stand.

Especially since their sects were not sending any reinforcements, staying would mean dying in vain.

If their sects had sent help earlier, they might have had some confidence to fight and stay to the bitter end.

But it now seemed that everything they did was meaningless.

The lack of support from their sects and the depletion of resources left them with no will to fight.

And what was most worrying was that the Red Soul Hall army stationed at the ruins was still eyeing them keenly, and the Dark Demon Race oddly didn’t attack them.

This was something none of the forces could understand. Could it be that Red Soul Hall had colluded with the Dark Demon Race long ago?

Unable to figure it out, Lin Chen stopped pondering the matter and began contemplating how to deal with the current situation.
