Chapter 2966: Chapter 2986: The True Purpose of the Battle

Duan Tian remained silent, quietly hovering beside the Linglong Tower.

Just as this opportunity for interception presented itself, on the side of the Immortal World Camp, over ten figures instantly appeared, accurately heading to intercept the Demon Race’s Quasi-Saint. Meanwhile, numerous obscure and difficult-to-discern auras vanished into thin air, like clay oxen entering the sea, silent and traceless.

"Retreat!"

Lin Chen immediately ordered Duan Tian to retreat; facing a Quasi-Saint in battle was certainly not his mission. It was best to leave the fighting to the Quasi-Saint big shots in the rear.

Leading Team Three in battle and ensuring that the situation didn’t collapse was his responsibility fulfilled.

No sooner had Duan Tian retreated than a middle-aged man had appeared in front of the group, directly making a move against the Demon Race’s old man.

Lin Chen clearly noticed that as this middle-aged man passed over their heads, he paid attention to Duan Tian.

As for myself, nobody cared.

Now that a Quasi-Saint had arrived, I no longer needed to stick my neck out!

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, quietly leading Team Three to fall back, to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

In the midst of chaos, Lin Chen retracted the Linglong Tower. Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian had already re-entered the tower and vanished from sight.

This scene was noticed by the people next to Lin Chen, but it wasn’t important; they were all from his own side.

People like Chen Shuihe and Chi Ya now looked at Lin Chen with complicated gazes.

When those ten or so demons appeared moments ago, they brought with them a fierce and raging presence, leaving death and injuries wherever they went. However, the demon charging towards their side was actually blocked by Lin Chen!

In a dangerous moment, Lin Chen summoned two women, one of whom took action, coordinating with an ancient tower, actually managed to halt a Quasi-Saint!

Just how many hidden tactics did the Sect Master have?

The woman who intercepted the demon looked so young, yet her strength was so formidable?

Could she also be a Quasi-Saint?

But why would she heed Lin Chen’s orders?

Everyone felt their minds jumbled, but the common sentiment was one of admiration and worship!

The Sect Master is so awesome!

Heaven has truly favored the Haoran Sect by sending such a powerful Sect Master!

The situation on the battlefield shifted rapidly with the intervention of Quasi-Saints. Originally interlocked and fighting each other, the camps were now clearly divided, both sides retreating.

The skies had become a battlefield for a group of Quasi-Saints, without any communication—the two sides started fighting with their ultimate moves as soon as they met, causing mayhem.

With over twenty Quasi-Saints battling fiercely within this area, the fact that this piece of Heaven and Earth hadn’t been completely shattered was a testament to the horrifying power of the plane.

Lin Chen watched the intensely dangerous battlefield, his brow furrowing.

This war seemed normal enough, everything appeared to be in order, but Lin Chen couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off.

Shouldn’t there be more Quasi-Saints in the Immortal Realm?

Why not come out all at once, catching the enemy off guard? If they could eliminate one or two of the opponent’s Quasi-Saints, wouldn’t that be a great boost to morale?

Others aside, Lin Chen at least hadn’t seen Jade Star Lord or Saint Thief Zhou Yixiao.

The battle in the sky was intense, but Lin Chen had the feeling that these people were, in a way, buying time.

What was the purpose of this war?

As Lin Chen pondered this, urgent bells suddenly sounded from within the distant Demon Camp.

Lin Chen casually cast a spell, and a huge mirror appeared in front of him, projecting the scene of the Demon Camp.

Many demon powerhouses rose into the air, heading en masse towards the Immortal Demon Channel, each with a look of panic on their face.

Lin Chen’s eyes suddenly widened. Was there trouble at the Immortal Demon Channel?

The next second, Lin Chen looked up sharply towards the group of fighters in the sky, and noticed that the Quasi-Saints on the side of the Immortal Realm had suddenly intensified their offensive, as if they were trying their best to hold their opponents back and prevent them from leaving.

Diversionary tactics!

A secret maneuver!

Lin Chen suddenly realized that the purpose of this war was never about how many demons were killed—all of it was an act, even willing to let the enemy’s Quasi-Saints break through their lines, as long as they could draw the enemy away from their camp, and then completely trap the opponents to buy time for those really in action.

Lin Chen thought back to the subtle auras he had sensed before. Though he was not a user of Space Divine Abilities, he had cultivated techniques like Reducing Land to Inches and Carefree Walk—the subtle fluctuations he sensed were those of spatial travel, weren’t they?

Someone with Space Supernatural Abilities had infiltrated the Demon Camp, entering the Immortal Demon Channel!

What were they planning to do?

Scout?

Or perhaps destroy?

The next second, an enormous explosion erupted from within the Immortal Demon Channel, as though the entire world was violently shaking.

At the same time, several figures flashed by the entrance of the Immortal Demon Channel.

Lin Chen suddenly froze, blinking his eyes.

I couldn’t have seen it wrong, could I?

Wasn’t one of those figures Saint Thief Sun Yixiao?

He participated in this operation, too?

With the intense explosion at the Immortal Demon Channel, the entire Demon Camp became like boiling water, completely in chaos.

Just as Lin Chen was contemplating whether the side of the Immortal Realm would take advantage of the situation to storm the Demon Camp, the lines of defense suddenly echoed with the bells of retreat, accompanied by the thunderous roars of Army Commander Jiang Yunfeng.

"First Corps, full retreat!"
