Chapter 242 Two and a Half Years, Qingzhou Changes Dramatically

Lin Chen looked at Jiang Liqian in front of him with a shocked expression.

It was not that he doubted the authenticity of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce's defection to the Demon Sect.

After all, the Demon Sect is now so powerful that it almost occupies the entire eastern Qingzhou region.

It seems to have become the second force in Qingzhou under the Taoist Sect.

There are even rumors.

The Demon Sect wants to replace the Taoist Sect and become the overlord of Qingzhou.

However, Tao Zong seemed to ignore the rumors and did not respond at all.

The problem is...

Lin Chen just made a deal with President Zheng a few days ago.

If the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce really defected to the Demon Sect, then he should have been ambushed by the Demon Sect.

But the problem is, that transaction went extremely smoothly.

Jiang Liqian took a deep breath and said:

"This is indeed surprising, but it is true..."

"To be precise, it is not the entire Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce that has taken refuge in the Demon Sect, but the factions of the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce and the neutral force Wenlu Academy... have taken refuge in the Demon Sect together!"

After a pause, Jiang Liqian said:

"Do you still remember that fifth young master from a few years ago?"

"Since the exploration of the Longling Sect's ruins, the Fifth Young Master has assembled a group of monks, and in the name of returning the spirit stones, he has been in constant contact with the monks who originally explored the ruins over the years."

"Gradually, someone discovered that the monks who originally explored the ruins began to disappear."

"It wasn't until recently that I discovered... that the fifth young master actually practiced the Demon Sect and killed thousands of foundation-building monks. Obtaining their cultivation... broke through the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop!"

"A few days ago, a Nascent Soul cultivator tried to capture him, but was killed by the fifth young master... His cultivation level has probably reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul!"

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

In just three years, he went directly from the half-step Nascent Soul to the middle Nascent Soul stage...

Damn it, no wonder so many people want to cultivate demons.

This speed of cultivation is too terrifying.

"So, it's the Fifth Young Master's faction that has taken refuge in the Demon Sect?"

"If I remember correctly, the Fifth Young Master's father should be a strong contender for the next president... Is he the largest faction in the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Chen asked.

Jiang Liqian nodded after hearing this and did not deny it.

Good guy, the largest faction has defected to the Demon Sect.

What's the difference between that and taking refuge in the Demon Sect?

Lin Chen knew clearly that as a neutral faction in the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce, some people must be undecided.

For example, the Fifth Young Master faction may be the pro-demon faction.

Relatively speaking... President Zheng's faction seems to have maintained absolute neutrality and has not taken refuge in the Demon Sect.

Because of this, Lin Chen had not been betrayed by President Zheng before.

"Sigh, but we must be on guard against others. It seems that we must suspend transactions with the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce."

Lin Chen shook his head.

Fortunately, in the past two or three years, Lin Chen accumulated tens of millions of spiritual stones.

Temporarily suspending trading can fully support the needs of spiritual practice.

At this time, Jiang Liqian hesitated for a moment and then said:

"There is another news. After listening to it... I hope you can calm down."

"The Kingdom of Hades stopped its westward advance and stopped its border line 50,000 miles east of Humanity City."

"At the same time, the old demon with blood eyes gathered a large number of demon cultivators and headed south..."

Going south...

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment.

To the south of the Kingdom of Hades, that is... the realm of Yan Lai!

"The old devil with blood eyes is going to launch a general attack on Changchun Gate?"

Lin Chen looked serious.

Jiang Liqian nodded and said:

"To be precise, we are not planning to launch a general attack... It is very possible that a general attack has already been launched."

"The news I got is about the movements of the Demon Sect half a month ago. Now that half a month has passed, I'm afraid..."

After hearing this, Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.

"Does my master know?"

Jiang Liqian nodded silently.

Lin Chen didn't care and drove the magic weapon directly to Yaoshan.

He was afraid that Han Jihai would be distracted and rushed back to Changchun Gate.

If this is really the case, it might be the same as taking death...

…

However, when Lin Chen arrived at Changchun Gate, he was surprised by Han Jihai's calmness.

I saw Han Jihai sitting on a Taishi chair, drinking tea and smoking welding smoke.

After seeing Lin Chen, he raised his eyelids and asked:

"Here you come? Do you know all the news about Changchun Gate?"

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this.

Han Jihai looked at Lin Chen and asked:

"You kid, you won't do stupid things and want to save the sect from fire and water, right?"

Lin Chen shook his head after hearing this.

Naturally, he would not die. Instead, he was worried that Han Jihai would lose his mind and return to the sect.

After hearing this, Han Jihai breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Well, that's good."

"Actually, the Patriarch has already planned a way out for the sect...right?"

"Five years ago, he asked us to come to Daocheng to prevent us from being involved in the war...right?"

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds, nodded and said:

"Master, the Demon Sect is so powerful... we have to leave a way out."

After receiving Lin Chen's affirmative reply, Han Jihai took a deep puff of welding smoke.

The room was filled with smoke...

"Chen'er, do you still remember how your second senior brother... died?"

Han Jihai asked, his voice calm.

Lin Chen nodded and said: "I know, he died at the hands of Jie Xiu..."

Cen Wushan died at the hands of Jie Xiu, but behind that Jie Xiu was the Wild Wolf Sect.

Behind the Wild Wolf Sect are the four sects of the Demon Sect and the old demon with blood eyes!

As early as twenty years ago, the Demon Sect started all this.

Cen Wushan, Wan Xun, the master of the array peak...

There were also countless Changchun Sect disciples and elders who died in battles with the Demon Sect.

Lin Chen knew it.

But he also knew that the Demon Sect was now so powerful that it was impossible for the Changchun Sect to resist it.

Han Jihai took a few puffs of welding smoke and said:

"The death of your second senior brother is inseparable from his xinxing. You must be prudent in your practice and never be reckless and cause trouble..."

"This is what I have always taught you."

"So... you must remember not to go back to Changchun Gate, just stay in Wenwen City and practice well..."

Lin Chen carefully observed Master Han Jihai's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be lying.

So he felt relieved, nodded and said:

"Okay, let's keep Qingshan alive so we don't have to worry about running out of firewood. We can take revenge later when we have the chance."

"Master, shall I go back to Daocheng first?"

After hearing this, Han Jihai smiled and said:

"Stay and have a light meal. It's too late to leave before you finish the meal. It's been a long time since you, kid, ate the food I cooked, right?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen thought about it and realized that he had indeed not eaten it for a year.

He felt nostalgic in his heart, so Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Okay, let's finish our meal before leaving."

That night, Han Jihai cooked a large table of dishes.

In addition to the spiritual vegetables grown by myself, there are also some spiritual chicken and spiritual dolphin meat.

Although it is not the best spiritual food, it is all grown at home.

It's all natural, and Han Jihai's cooking skills are indeed excellent.

"Chen'er, your junior brother has encountered some problems in cultivation recently. You have the highest cultivation among all the brothers, so please give him some advice." After finishing the meal, Han Jihai ordered.

"Yes, Master!"

After a meal, Lin Chen rested all night on the medicine mountain.

That night, Lin Chen lived with his junior brother Zhou Tieshan.

This made Zhou Tieshan extremely excited.

He asked Lin Chen all the questions about his cultivation that he had saved up for a year.

Lin Chen also answered one by one, which benefited Zhou Tieshan a lot.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that Zhou Tieshan sighed:

"Senior Brother Lin, you are so powerful, much more powerful than Master..."

Lin Chen shook his head. He was Yuanying, and his master was just a golden elixir. Naturally, he had a deeper understanding of cultivation than Han Jihai.

"Oh, but the master seems to be very troubled recently!"

"I see that he doesn't sleep or meditate in the past few days. He just smokes and drinks tea in the house..."

Lin Chen frowned slightly after hearing this and asked, "Master, how long has this situation been going on?"
