Chapter 2941: Chapter 2961: On One Side is Responsibility, on the Other is Life

The news of Lin Chen’s great victory quickly reached Zhou Daocang.

Zhou Daocang felt entirely devastated.

Panic filled his chest, as he immediately thought of the missing Zhao Pingyang.

According to the Zhou Family, at that time, he had detained Chi Ya while Zhao Pingyang pursued Lin Chen alone, after which he disappeared without a trace, alive or dead unknown.

Previously, Zhou Daocang and the Zhao Family had many speculations, wondering if Zhao Pingyang had stolen something from Lin Chen and then slipped away by himself. Now knowing Lin Chen could instantly summon fifty Great Demons, the answer seemed clear.

Zhao Pingyang was indeed formidable, but could he withstand fifty Great Demons?

Could he escape from the encirclement of fifty Great Demons?

Lin Chen, prepared against the unprepared Zhao Pingyang, had definitely been schemed against, either already dead or fallen into Lin Chen’s hands, with the latter being much more likely.

Zhao Pingyang falling into Lin Chen’s hands also meant that Lin Chen had definitely extracted information from him about Zhou Daocang being the mastermind behind the scenes!

Although openly, he had indeed not ordered the Zhao Family to kill Lin Chen, his actions during his visit to the Zhao Family had said it all.

Killing did not need to be made explicit, and revenge did not need too detailed evidence either.

What to do?

Lin Chen, this fellow, actually possessed such great abilities, commanding fifty Great Demons!

How would he take his revenge?

Zhou Daocang didn’t believe the other party would just let it go; given the right opportunity, he would undoubtedly do him in without hesitation.

He regretted it!

If only he had known Lin Chen was such a tough nut to crack, why bother provoking him?

Just to swallow that bit of grievance, and it would have been over, right?

Zhou Daocang’s mind was in turmoil, yet he had no solution, his heart anxious while pretending nothing was amiss.

...

Military camp.

The entire Haoran Sect was jubilant, the atmosphere vibrant, as neighboring team members from the five small teams looked on enviously.

"What can we do now?"

Chi Ya answered, "Cultivate and wait!"

Chen Shuihe added, "It is wartime, everything is managed according to wartime regulations, and no one should leave the camp without cause to avoid missing any urgent military information."

"Then let’s wait, those who need to rest, rest; those who should cultivate, cultivate!" Lin Chen said with a laugh.

Chi Ya was in charge of the military discipline—Lin Chen was basically a hands-off shopkeeper, only needing to move his mouth.

Expectation in her eyes, Chi Ya said, "I will compile the battlefield achievements and submit them if everything goes smoothly. The commendation and rewards should arrive soon. This time, Sect Master, you’ve made great contributions, slew countless enemies, and should be able to gain access to the Spirit Ascending Array."

Lin Chen, surprised, widened his eyes, "This might grant me access to the Spirit Ascending Array?"

Chi Ya explained, "In the Spirit Ascending Array, strength is infused rapidly. Access is exchanged for military merits, and how long one can stay depends on the amount of military merit—the greater the merit, the longer the time, and vice versa."

"This time, your decisive defeat of the demon team and countless kills assuredly earn substantial merits. If you are willing, then entering the Spirit Ascending Array should be possible, it’s just uncertain how much cultivation time it can be exchanged for."

Out of curiosity, Lin Chen asked, "It’s wartime management now, even if I obtain the qualification, can I leave the camp to cultivate?"

"At this moment, full-scale war hasn’t commenced yet. The First Corps has just rotated; there are still four other corps and other teams. Basically, we will have quite some downtime. Sect Master, you will definitely have time to cultivate," Chi Ya said with a laugh.

"Even if full-scale warfare breaks out, as long as you earn enough battle achievements, you can still go in to cultivate. This is a war between two realms; the absence of a few people won’t lead to losing the war."

"The best way for those who have earned military merits participating in the war is to quickly transform it into higher strength, so that next time they can survive better, achieve more merits. If, as you worry, one must wait until the end of the Immortal-Demon Great War to claim the merits, then many people’s efforts will ultimately be wasted, which would really dampen morale."

Upon hearing the explanation, Lin Chen understood.

Although these immortals joined the war, their primary aim naturally was to defend the Immortal Realm, and secondly, to earn military merits to exchange for top-tier cultivation resources, enhancing their own strength.

Not to mention others, just the immortals stuck at their bottlenecks, unable to advance further, heading towards death—how many are there in the entire Immortal Realm?

If it were you, would you choose to sit idly by waiting for death, or would you try to contribute and take a chance?

It had not been many years since Lan Xinyu had entered the lower grade of Daluo Initial Immortal, and she already felt her limits. She too desired to participate in this war, striving to gain access to the Spirit Ascending Array and enhance her strength.

How many people in the entire Immortal Realm were like her?
