Chapter 291: Elder, Please Come Out of Seclusion Quickly!

“Old Zhang said he’s never fought such an exhilarating battle in his life. Following the Saint Master’s orders to take action was pure enjoyment.”

“Just hearing about it is exciting. Too bad we didn’t get a chance to join in.”

“My Lord, our people have already looted everything they could.”

“Great Mystery Sacred Land has probably reacted by now and will likely send reinforcements soon.”

The elders were chatting.

All of them were amazed at how this battle was a near landslide victory.

Was this really how battles could be fought?

In less than ten minutes, they had completely swept through all of Great Mystery Sacred Land’s external industries.

Even though it was a surprise attack, the enemy hadn’t responded in time.

But still, the other side was a Sacred Land.

To achieve such results was absurdly satisfying.

The elders all looked at Ye Chen expectantly, waiting for his next orders.

Ye Chen closed his eyes slightly, then smiled calmly.

“Indeed, Great Mystery Sacred Land has begun to send reinforcements.

“Foreign Affairs Elder, take six elders and secretly travel to the Dragon Blood Spiritual Vein using the teleportation array.

“Internal Affairs Elder, you take your people and lie in ambush at the blessed land that produces Divine Spirit Grass.

“Elder Wangfeng, you and Elder Wuming head to the blessed land that produces Nascent Break Flowers and set up an ambush.

“Oh, even the Divine Transformation experts are moving.”

Ye Chen’s lips curled up as he said this.

Great Mystery Sacred Land had two Supreme Elders.

One of them was Elder Jinwu, who had already broken through to the Great Advancement Realm.

The other was a Deity Transformation expert, reportedly the Great Mystery Saint Master.

Based on the coordinates, this Deity Transformation Supreme Elder had left Great Mystery Sacred Land alongside the Great Mystery Saint Master, and their destination was the Qingguang Secret Realm.

“If it’s a Deity Transformation expert, then I’ll ask Master to take action.” Although Nangong Wan appeared to be overshadowed by Ye Chen’s brilliance, in truth, she was the real prodigy.

Her primordial spirit even had a natural anomaly, an absolutely top-tier talent.

Otherwise, after being ambushed by Xue Jiumo and injuring her primordial spirit, she wouldn’t have been able to struggle back to the Sacred Land.

For Master, dealing with an ordinary Deity Transformation expert was as easy as pie.

Nangong Wan arrived at the Saint Master’s Peak.

Although her face was still slightly red when she saw Ye Chen and she gave him a playful glare, when she heard about the mission, she didn’t hesitate, “Anyone who dares to owe Heavenly Origin Sacred Land spirit stones deserves to die!”

The next moment, Nangong Wan left for the Qingguang Secret Realm without a second thought, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

—

“I didn’t expect Heavenly Origin Sacred Land to be so arrogant, knowing full well that Elder Jinwu had broken through, yet they still dared to provoke us.

“This time, I’m determined to kill a batch of Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s Nascent Soul experts to vent my anger!

“Let’s set off now.”

Great Mystery Sacred Land’s Supreme Elder, after hearing the details from the Great Mystery Saint Master, was filled with killing intent.

Just as the Supreme Elder was about to leave, the Great Mystery Saint Master quickly spoke up, “Master, wait a moment, let me post on Weibo first.”

Recently, Great Mystery Sacred Land had lost too much face.

This counterattack must restore their honor.

It had to show the entire cultivation world

That Great Mystery Sacred Land was never inferior to anyone.

Immediately, the Great Mystery Saint Master wrote a Weibo post and sent it out.

“Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s sudden sneak attack was a despicable act.

“Great Mystery Sacred Land will definitely retaliate tenfold, with an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

“This battle is only just beginning.”

When the Great Mystery Saint Master’s post went live, it naturally attracted a lot of attention from cultivators.

After all, the biggest hot topic in Great Yan Province at the moment was the conflict between the two Sacred Lands.

In a short time after the post went live, countless comments started pouring in.

“As expected, Great Mystery Sacred Land is reacting now and taking things seriously.”

“The real Sacred Land battle is about to begin.”

“I really want to see the battle between Sacred Land experts firsthand.”

“The Sect Master of True Martial Sect just posted, saying he’s willing to pay a high price to hire Nascent Soul experts to record the battle scenes with immortal stones. We might be able to buy those battle scene recordings soon.”

“Honestly, even if the two sides end up evenly matched, I’m not optimistic about Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. Once Elder Jinwu takes action, no one can stand against him.”

“I agree. Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is being reckless this time. They should’ve avoided the direct confrontation.”

The Great Mystery Saint Master’s Weibo post made countless cultivators look forward to the upcoming Sacred Land battle.

It was a rare spectacle and bound to be thrilling.

Seeing the comments and the rising attention, the Great Mystery Saint Master smiled.

He and his master had already left the Sacred Land long ago.

In half an hour, they would arrive at Qingguang Sacred Land.

But while flying midway, for some reason, the Great Mystery Saint Master suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Even though he loathed Ye Chen, he had to admit that Ye Chen was definitely an opponent worth taking seriously.

Could Ye Chen have already anticipated their counterattack?

Could Ye Chen have set up an ambush?

For a moment, the Great Mystery Saint felt anxious.

So while flying, he kept in communication with the leaders of the other three teams.

But the other three teams reported no disturbances.

They were getting closer to their target locations.

No ambushes had been encountered.

This reassured the Great Mystery Saint Master.

He chuckled bitterly.

It seemed that Ye Chen had hit him so hard, it had left a psychological shadow.

No matter how powerful Ye Chen was, he couldn’t have accurately predicted the exact location of their counterattack among so many resource points.

So, he was definitely overthinking it.

Before long, the Great Mystery Saint Master and his master arrived in the vast Demon Mountain range.

The entrance to the Qingguang Secret Realm was here.

Around the entrance, signs of a recent battle could be seen.

Countless ancient trees had been reduced to rubble.

Large areas of the mountains had been blasted into craters.

Some mountains were even half-destroyed.

The Supreme Elder’s expression was cold, “Daring to plunder the resources of Great Mystery Sacred Land is a death wish.

“Today, every Heavenly Origin Sacred Land cultivator I see must die.”

With that, he flew straight toward the entrance of Qingguang Sacred Land.

But at that moment, the Great Mystery Lord’s communicator rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was the Penalty Elder, who had led the team to the blessed land producing Divine Spirit Grass.

Could it be they had already succeeded?

But things were about to start on his end, and there was no time to waste.

He’d deal with it later.

The Great Mystery Sacred Land dismissed the call request.

He was about to rush into the entrance of the Qingguang Secret Realm with his master.

But just as he hung up, another call came in.

This time, it was from the leader of the team attacking the blessed land producing Nascent Break Flowers.

Had they also succeeded so quickly?

The Great Mystery Lord smiled.

But just after he hung up, another call came in.

This time, it was from the leader of the team attacking the Dragon Blood Spiritual Vein.

At this point, the Great Mystery Lord felt something was wrong.

How could all three teams succeed at the same time?

He immediately answered.

In his mind, the elder’s panicked voice rang out, “Lord, we’ve been ambushed...

“It seems Heavenly Origin Sacred Land knew we were coming and set a trap.

“There are too many of them. We can’t hold out.”

“Lord, we need reinforcements.”

The Great Mystery Lord’s eyes widened in shock.

They were ambushed?

Could the previous calls have been...

At that moment, a heavy sense of dread enveloped him.

The Great Mystery Saint Master felt a chill run through his entire body.

He was about to call out to his master, telling him to be cautious and wait.

But his master had already disappeared into the entrance of the Qingguang Secret Realm.

The Great Mystery Lord rushed toward the entrance to warn him.

But before he could reach it, his master was suddenly blasted out of the entrance, flying backward.

In the Great Mystery Saint Master’s disbelieving gaze, a stunningly beautiful woman with a faint smile leisurely walked out of the Qingguang Secret Realm.

Upon seeing the Great Mystery Saint Master, the woman’s face turned cold as she sneered.

“At the Dao Discussion Conference years ago, you dared to bully my disciple.

“Too bad so many people stopped me that day, and I couldn’t kill you!

“Now you’ve come knocking at my door.

“This time, I’ll deal with both you and your master...”

The Great Mystery Saint Master’s face was filled with terror.

The beautiful woman before him was none other than Nangong Wan, who had beaten him up at the Dao Discussion Conference years ago.

But why was this woman here?
