Chapter 344: War Situation (2)

“That was very careless of me. I forgot to mention it. Uncle-Master, my name is Liao Sen. My Master’s name is Ji Yunze.”

Ji Yunze?

Lin Shen was a little perplexed.

He had just arrived at the sect and spent most of his time cultivating on Goldstream Isle. He wasn’t familiar with many interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps in the sect.

However, he found the name Ji Yunze a little familiar. Xia Mengran seemed to have mentioned it to him before.

He seemed to be a warden of the Military Department.

Suddenly, a thought flashed across Lin Shen’s mind. He asked, “Master Huo is…”

Liao Sen smiled and said, “He’s my Grandmaster.”

Lin Shen was instantly enlightened.

He was referring to Huo Enrong, the head of the Military Department.

The first time Lin Shen heard this name was when the sect was crusading against the Tiger Tribe.

At that time, the person in charge of the crusade was Huo Enrong.

The head of the Military Department was ranked in the top ten in the entire Nine Suns Sect in terms of status and power.

More importantly, Huo Enrong belonged to the master-disciple lineage and was Yu Siyu’s Senior Brother.

In other words, in terms of seniority, Lin Shen and Liao Sen’s master, Ji Yunze, belonged to the same generation.

From this point of view, it made sense that Liao Sen addressed Lin Shen as his Uncle-Master.

Lin Shen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Liao Sen was at least ten years older than him. It felt strange to be addressed as Uncle-Master by such a person.

Lin Shen simply said, “Brother Liao, why don’t we forget about seniority? You can just call me by my name.”

“Well…” Liao Sen hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he agreed. “Then I’ll accept it respectfully. Brother Lin, after you!”

To be honest, Liao Sen was relieved.

After all, it felt wrong to address a young man who was more than ten years younger than him as Uncle-Master.

Of course, he was still very impressed by Lin Shen.

The matter between Lin Shen and the Shan family had long been known by everyone.

To be able to defeat people like Dan Jingchun and Dan Liangshan at the age of 20 was truly admirable!

Liao Sen knew he wouldn’t even have the confidence to defeat Shan Jingchun, let alone Shan Liangshan.

It was also because of this that when he heard that Lin Shen had arrived, he volunteered to greet him in person.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two of them walked side by side into the camp.

“The Blood Sea Sect has been very restless recently. They’re probably preparing to launch a new wave of attacks. After some discussion, the guarding Elders decided to strike first and seize a few array points!”

On the way, Liao Sen told Lin Shen about the situation in the spirit cave.

With his explanation, Lin Shen had a rough understanding of the current situation in the spirit cave.

The war between the two sects could be divided into two parts.

The first was a battle between top-notch combatants.

In other words, it was a battle between Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters.

To Mystic Light cultivators, Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters were just ants that they could kill casually. Even those who had condensed the seed of Mystic Light were only slightly larger ants.

Once a Mystic Light stage cultivator master attacked a Spirit Nurturing Stage one, it would definitely be a disaster for the latter.

Therefore, the two sects gradually formed a tacit understanding that the Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters on both sides wouldn’t attack each other’s Spirit Nurturing Stage juniors and only fought the other Mystic Light Stage ones.

Of course, this didn’t mean that Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters were insignificant in this war.

In fact, they also had very important responsibilities.

The Blood Sea Sect and Nine Suns Sect had set up a large number of array points in the spirit cave using array flags. They were connected to each other and formed a large-scale array formation similar to a spirit gathering array.

With the help of the array formation, cultivators could mobilize the spiritual essence in the spirit cave in battle and greatly increase their strength.

The more array points there were, the more spiritual essence a cultivator master could mobilize.

A battle between Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters would also be affected by the array formation.

However, there were only a limited number of suitable places to set up array points in the spirit cave. In order to compete for these array points, there were many battles between the two sects.

In the end, the mission of the Spirit Nurturing Stage cultivator masters became to occupy more array points and provide help to the Mystic Light Stage ones of their sects.

This was the second part of the war!

“How many array points have we occupied now?” Lin Shen asked.

Liao Sen sighed and said with a solemn expression, “There are 183 array points in the spirit cave now. Our sect only takes up 79, which is less than half of them!

“Because of this, the elders were repeatedly at a disadvantage against the Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters of the Blood Sea Sect.”

Lin Shen frowned slightly.

Seventy-nine versus one hundred and four. That was a lot of difference.

The Nine Suns Sect was not as strong as the Blood Sea Sect, to begin with. If they had the advantage in numbers, how could the Nine Suns Sect have any chance of winning?

However, judging from the current situation, the Nine Suns Sect was clearly at a disadvantage.

“There are many more cultivator masters from the Blood Sea Sect who have entered the spirit cave than us. Be it in holding down or attacking the array points, our sect has insufficient manpower. We can barely guard the array points in our hands.” Liao Sen shook his head and sighed.

As they conversed, the two of them arrived in front of the tower at the center of the camp.

Liao Sen stopped talking and walked in with Lin Shen.

The s.p.a.ce inside the tower was far more s.p.a.cious than it looked from the outside. Clearly, some kind of array formation was used.

Many cultivator masters were walking back and forth, all of them in a hurry with solemn expressions.

Liao Sen gestured to Lin Shen and led the way upstairs.

He was clearly quite famous here. Along the way, many people looked at him and even noticed Lin Shen beside him.

Soon, someone recognized Lin Shen.

“It’s Lin Shen!”

“That Lin Shen who defeated Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan?”

“Who else could it be? 1 didn’t expect him to come to the spirit cave.”

“It’s very normal. The rewards for this recruitment mission are too generous. It’s not surprising that Lin Shen will be tempted!”

In the current Nine Suns Sect, Lin Shen was undoubtedly the most popular cultivator master of the younger generation.

Especially after the recent conflict between him and the Shan family, many people had heard of his name.

As more and more people recognized Lin Shen, there was a commotion.

“Quiet! What’s with all the noise!”

A deep voice suddenly came from upstairs, silencing the noisy discussion.

All the cultivator masters shut up and continued with their work.

Liao Sen gave Lin Shen a look, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked upstairs.

In the s.p.a.cious and bright top-floor hall, seven Elders sat around the room with solemn expressions.

The auras of these seven people weren’t obvious, and they looked like ordinary people. However, only cultivator masters knew how powerful they were.

Sitting at the head of the table was a handsome man in his mid-twenties. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.

At the level of the Mystic Light Stage, appearance became meaningless.

As long as one wanted to, a cultivator master at this stage could restore their appearance to any age and could even look like a child.

Moreover, because their bodies were cleansed and nourished by spiritual essence, there were almost no bad-looking Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters. Without exception, they were all handsome men and beautiful women.

However, quite a few Mystic Light Stage cultivator masters would still maintain their appearances as elderly people.

For example, among the seven Mystic Light cultivator masters in front of him, three of them had white hair and snow-white long beards. They looked like sage-like old men.

Before coming here, Liao Sen had introduced the Elders guarding the camp to Lin Shen.

With what he had heard previously, Lin Shen quickly recognized the seven Elders here.

The young man sitting at the head was Elder Qi Dao.

Although he was only an Elder and wasn’t an inst.i.tute head, Qi Dao’s status in the sect was only higher than the inst.i.tute heads, second only to the Sect Master.

Moreover, it was said that he already reached the ninth level of the Mystic Light Stage ten years ago.

Many disciples guessed that Elder Qi Dao would advance to the Reverse Elixir Stage soon.

Among the remaining six, apart from the two Elders, the other four were all inst.i.tute heads of the various departments.

What was worth mentioning was that apart from Qi Dao, half of the remaining six Elders were from the master-disciple lineage, and the other half were from influential families.

As soon as Lin Shen stepped into the hall, the seven Elders looked over.

After sizing him up for a moment, Qi Dao nodded slightly and smiled.

“Good. You’re very talented. Master Yu has taken in a good disciple..”
