novelDefending the Kingdom of the Nine States With Our Lives
| ← Ch.1477 | Ch.1479 → |
Xu Xiaolan immediately provided an explanation, "All of them are fighting the war at the border of the Kingdom of the Nine States. We're only at the Four Nine Immortal Sect as we recently completed a mission."
An Lin nodded upon hearing this. The war appeared to be even more intense than he had anticipated.
"Xiao Ze and Xiao Tu are the two most powerful beings in our Four Nine Immortal Sect. They've led the Dragon Pavilion to the Ancient Void State, where they're combating the Heavenly Human Tribe army on the eastern front, " Xu Xiaolan explained.
There were almost no powers that could cooperate with the Kingdom of the Nine States in their defense against the Heavenly Human Tribe. As such, this was the most vulnerable front, and it was reasonable for the Four Nine Immortal Sect to send their most powerful cultivators there.
"Holy Leader, our Blood Pavilion had been working very hard in defending the southern front as well. Do you think you could give us some holy blood as a reward?" Cassidy requested with a seductive light in her eyes.
"My blood is a lethal poison to everyone below the Return to Void Final Stage. Don't go drinking it recklessly, " An Lin cautioned.
It would be a massive farce if the entire Blood Pavilion committed suicide from drinking his blood.
"Don't worry, at least half of the Blood Pavilion can drink your blood now. There's me, Merlin, Tobias, Ada, Jin Ling, Jin Yao, Bryce, Jesse..." Cassidy compiled a list with a smile on her face.
"That's awesome!" An Lin praised.
All of the members of the Blood Pavilion were at the Return to Void Intermediate Stage or above, with eight of them at the Return to Void Pinnacle Stage.
A wide smile appeared on Cassidy's face upon receiving praise from An Lin. If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Xiaolan was still around, she actually wanted to wrap her arms around the Holy Leader's neck and communicate with him on a deeper level. After all, she had made some significant improvements during the past century, so the Holy Leader should give her a reward..
An Lin was extremely grateful to his Blood Tribe slaves who had remained loyal to him despite his century-long absence, and he immediately filled up a small vial of blood for Cassidy.
"One hundred years. I've waited for decade after decade amid boundless despair and darkness..." Cassidy held the small vial of blood, and her body began to quiver with irrepressible sobs."Thank God... I didn't give up..."
An Lin's lips twitched slightly. An oblivious bystander might be under the impression that this was a very touching scene. However, he knew that she was only sobbing over the vial of blood rather than his return.
Tina turned to him with a smug, dainty smile."Our Realm Pavilion is also responsible for the southern front, and we have a near unlimited supply of troops, so we're confident that we can wear our opponents down in a prolonged war!"
An Lin nodded slightly. The Realm Pavilion was essentially summoning the power of the entire Divine Mirror World to fight the enemy! The Divine Mirror World had also made significant improvements. Ever since the realm core became complete, it began to develop more and more quickly, and the population and overall power level of the living beings within were improving drastically.
Only a hundred years had passed in the Tai Chu Continent.
However, Tina was still able to accelerate the flow of time in the Divine Mirror World. Even though her ability to accelerate the flow of time in the Divine Mirror World was steadily diminishing as the world became more and more advanced, over a thousand years had passed in the Divine Mirror World, and there were already exceptional prodigies who had attained their divine dao!
An Lin speculated that the Divine Mirror World would undergo another monumental transformation once a living being progressed to the Dao Integration Stage there!
Bai Ling also delivered a report, "Our Purple Star Pavilion is responsible for combating the Heavenly Human Tribe army in the White Nectar Sea. We're only missing materials and energy resources at the moment. With enough resources, I can destroy the entire Heavenly Human Tribe!"
Big Sister Bai was making a very bold claim, but no one doubted her.
At the very least, enemies below the Dao Integration Stage and Heaven Pioneer Stage weren't even enemies in her eyes!
The Flame Pavilion and Spirit Pavilion were mainly responsible for the northern front. With Xu Xiaolan and her phoenix there, the Heavenly Human Tribe wouldn't be able to make any progress there unless they deployed a Divine Heaven Stage powerful being.
"Our Moon Pavilion mostly consists of pill refinement masters from the Moon Palace, and they're responsible for making medicine and treating injuries, " Su Qianyun said in a mellow voice devoid of any prestige that was expected of a pavilion lord.
However, An Lin knew better than to be fooled by her outward appearance.
He knew that this seemingly harmless beauty would become a goddess of slaughter when night fell, harvesting countless lives under the moonlight!
The Moon Pavilion was mostly responsible for logistics, and it was filled with beautiful Celestial Maidens. However, their most beautiful pavilion lord was a goddess of slaughter. Hmm... What a paradoxical setup.
After that, Xuanyuan Cheng's Spirit Pavilion, Da Bai's Beast Pavilion, Little Lang's Man Pavilion, and Liu Qianhuan's Sword Pavilion all elaborated on their duties.
What was worthy of note was that the Snow Pavilion that comprised the entire snow maiden race all participated in the war on the Gem State and led the way from the front.
They had already confirmed An Lin's death, but they still upheld their vows to harm no humans and were even willing to participate wholeheartedly in this war for the sake of the human race.
An Lin was very surprised and also very touched by this gesture.
The humans of the Kingdom of the Nine States now had a much better impression of the snow maidens. They weren't exactly friends, but they were certainly no longer enemies.
An Lin could actually understand the thought process of the snow maidens. After interacting with Shangguan Yi, he learned that although the snow maidens were all quite aloof and cold, they were a very straightforward race that had a very clear sense of right and wrong.
An Lin had given up his life to save their entire race, so they were willing to give up their lives to repay An Lin.
Thus, the sect leader now had a rough understanding of what was happening in the sect.
After that, An Lin began to recount his experiences of the past hundred years to everyone present.
All of them were astonished to hear about how he had entered a strange space following the Heavenly Time God's self-detonation.
They were even more shocked to hear about how the rate of cultivation in that space was several hundred times that of the outside world, but one day in that world was also the equivalent of a year in the outside world. Only Tina wore a thoughtful expression upon hearing this.
All of them wanted to weep for An Lin after hearing about his eighteen-year life as a blade of grass.
Tears were beginning to well up in An Lin's eyes. He was struck by the urge to cry every time he thought back to those indescribable experiences.
He was just about to dive into Xiaolan's arms when a white, furry body crashed into his arms.
"Big Brother An, everything's alright now, I'm here for you, woof!" Da Bai hugged An Lin with a sympathetic expression.
He recalled back to his horrific experiences in Bai Ling's trial, where he had lived the life of a dog... Looking at it now, his experiences were nothing compared to An Lin's life as a blade of grass!
An Lin had no choice but to dive into Da Bai's arms. They continued to sob.
At the same time.
On the Heavenly Court floating continent.
The Celestial Thearch snuck back.
When he discovered that all of the Heavenly Court mighty figures, including the other four emperors, had joined the Heaven Crushing Sect, he felt like the world had played a massive prank on him! He was the second-in-command of the Heaven Mending Sect, and now, all of his friends and comrades had pledged their allegiance to the enemy. What was he supposed to do?
The Celestial Thearch also began to sob after hiding in a corner.
