Chapter 343: War Situation (1)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The war between the Nine Suns Sect and the Blood Sea Sect was in full swing.

Although Lin Shen didn’t pay much attention, he heard that the sect seemed to be at a disadvantage.

After all, their opponent was a powerful sect that ruled a large city, while the Nine Suns Sect was only one of the three major sects in Dragonside City. Even if the difference in strength wasn’t huge, it was very obvious.

Because of this, the Nine Suns Sect issued a spirit cave recruitment mission in the Merit Hall. The rewards were abnormally generous, just to attract more disciples to partic.i.p.ate in the spirit cave war.

Lin Shen first went there and accepted the recruitment mission. He received the token to enter the underground spirit cave before leaving the mountain gate and rushing to the Dragon Abyss Mountain Range.

Riding the Cloud Vessel, Lin Shen arrived at the underground spirit cave not long after that.

The once desolate and secluded mountain peak had now become noisy and lively. Clouds and flying ships were everywhere.

The light emitted by spells and Dharma treasures almost dyed the sky above the entire mountain in a rainbow of colors.

Lin Shen released his spiritual senses and quickly sensed the layers of restrictions that enveloped the entire mountain peak.

Even without personally experiencing it, he could clearly sense the power of these restrictions.

Even if a Reverse Elixir Stage mighty figure came, they probably wouldn’t be able to break through these layers of restrictions any time soon.

“Looks like the sect has put in a lot of effort here!” Lin Shen thought to himself.

Most of these restrictions were to stop people from coming out. It was obvious who the target was.

After putting away the flying ship, Lin Shen took out a token, opened the restriction, and landed on the mountainside.

Immediately, the disciples came forward to check the tokens.

Although it was a checkup, his expression was very respectful.

After all, those who could accept the recruitment mission were all cultivator masters.

The patrolling disciples on the mountain peak were all at the Bright Aperture Stage. Naturally, they didn’t dare to slight these cultivator masters.

After making sure that everything was in line, the disciple handed the token back to Lin Shen with both hands and said respectfully,

“Senior Brother Lin, this is the first time you’ve accepted a recruitment mission. According to the rules, you need to go to the Elder guarding the place, and the Elder will arrange the specific mission.”

Wars between sects were different from ordinary battles. It was impossible for disciples to act on their own. Instead, it was planned by a few guarding Elders. They would issue missions, and disciples who completed the missions could obtain merit points and use them to exchange for various resources.

Lin Shen nodded slightly and asked where the guarding Elders were. Then, he thanked the patrolling disciples and turned to walk into the cave.

The wide cave was filled with array flags. In the center of the white jade fence, the deep eye of the cave was suffused with a large amount of silver light. They intertwined to form a vortex-like ball of light that slowly sank.

After the war with the Blood Sea Sect broke out, the Sect Master personally set up an array formation to maintain the opening of the spirit cave so that the sect could continue to send disciples in.

However, this method consumed an astronomical amount of resources. The entire Nine Suns Sect wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

If they were unable to defeat the Blood Sea Sect in the next few years and completely occupy the spirit cave, the Nine Suns Sect would undoubtedly fall into a predicament.

At that time, they would either give up on the spirit cave or take a step back and allow Raging Waves Sect and Azure Frost Sect to partic.i.p.ate in the battle with Blood Sea Sect.

In that case, although they had to share the spirit cave with the other two sects, it was better than losing it completely.

While he was thinking, Lin Shen had already jumped into the ball of vortex light.

When his vision returned to normal, he was already in the spirit cave.

Looking around, there were densely packed caves in all directions. It was unknown where they led to.

The stalact.i.tes hanging overhead were like sharp stakes.

The scene was exactly the same as when he first entered the spirit cave.

However, Lin Shen acutely sensed that the spiritual essence in the air was clearly much more restless than before. Perhaps it was because there had been too many battles in the spirit cave recently.

After calming himself down, Lin Shen took out a map and identified the direction before flying toward the sect camp.

The sect camp was set about a kilometer away from the entrance of the spirit cave.

This distance was nothing for Lin Shen. Before long, a series of towers and courtyards came into view, extending horizontally for a few kilometers.

A faint spiritual light enveloped the entire building complex. That was the protective array formation set up by the Elders.

The token was useless here because they didn’t want a Blood Sea Sect cultivator to steal the token and pretended to be a Nine Suns Sect disciple. Lin Shen stopped in front of the array formation and reported his name and Master to the two cultivators who came forward.

Upon hearing Lin Shen’s name, the two cultivator masters were immediately shocked. They sized Lin Shen up as if they were looking at some rare beast.

It was obvious that the battle between Lin Shen and the Shan family had already spread to the spirit cave underground.

When he returned to his senses, one of the cultivator masters cupped his fists hurriedly. “Brother Lin, please wait a moment. I’ll report to the elders now!”

After saying that, he quickly turned around and flew into the array.

The other cultivator master seemed to be worried that Lin Shen would be dissatisfied and immediately explained,

“Cultivators who come to the spirit cave for the first time need the Elder guarding the spirit cave to collect a trace of aura and integrate it into the array formation. There’s no need to check if they enter or leave in the future.”

Realization dawned on Lin Shen. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t mind.

A moment later, the cultivator master who left returned with a handsome man in his thirties.

After taking a few quick steps forward, the man came in front of Lin Shen and said with a smile,

“Uncle-Master, please follow me. The guarding Elders are currently issuing missions.”

Uncle-Master?

Lin Shen was stunned. What was going on?

Seeing the puzzled expression on Lin Shen’s face, the man seemed to have thought of something. He patted his forehead and explained..
