Chapter 1252: Chapter 652: Dragon Beard Vine

After returning to the Cave Mansion, upon learning Lin Tianming had returned from his trip, Qin Xi immediately came over.

Seeing the visitor, Qin Xi’s beautiful eyes fixated on Lin Tianming as she calmly asked him a question.

“Ming, how did your visit to Liang Shaoguang go?”

“Xi’er, the reactions of Yuanchen Sect’s various factions were roughly as we expected.”

“At present, they’ve retreated to the borderline areas between Yuanchen Sect and Liang Family Territory and stationed forces around Yunshui Marketplace, relying on the Defensive Great Formation there to recuperate.”

“If nothing unexpected happens next, Yuanchen Sect’s factions likely won’t make any major moves for the next month or two.”

At this point, Lin Tianming frowned slightly, then continued with a solemn tone: “However, Yuanchen Sect’s factions are still mobilizing troops and consolidating scattered personnel to gather their strength.”

“After all, the war has been ongoing for two years now, with multiple large-scale battles having already erupted during this time.”

“As Yuanchen Sect’s factions have already suffered significant losses once and are gradually losing their initial overwhelming advantage.”

“During the upcoming conflicts, they can no longer afford delays or squander precious opportunities.”

“Therefore, in order to prevent the Liang Family from making that crucial move, Yuanchen Sect will undoubtedly go all in and fight desperately.”

“Based on these observations, I feel strongly that the battles ahead will become even fiercer.”

Hearing Lin Tianming’s detailed analysis, Qin Xi nodded slightly.

Although she had been with the Liang Family for a while, she had not participated in any major battles.

Yet, from Lin Tianming’s words, she could vividly sense the brutal intensity of these wars and understand just how perilous such chaotic skirmishes could be.

Regarding the upcoming situation, she also resolved to prepare herself as thoroughly as possible, aiming to shoulder sufficient responsibility for the Lin Family and Lin Tianming.

Fully understanding this, Qin Xi casually comforted Lin Tianming with a few words.

As for the imminent battles, Lin Tianming appeared somewhat heavy-hearted—not overly complacent, but without any hint of cowardice or retreat.

After all, in the previous battle, the Liang Family’s position had already been extremely precarious.

Even so, Lin Tianming managed to achieve astonishing results, helping the Lin Family secure a resounding victory.

Moreover, even under such unfavorable circumstances, the Liang Family turned near-disaster into fortune, and Lin Tianming persevered through it all.

Given this, in the face of the new round of challenges ahead, while it is foreseeable that Yuanchen Sect’s factions will act ruthlessly, he remains relatively optimistic.

In his view, the Liang Family has been able to endure and thrive for so long, consistently dominating Yuanchen Sect and Tianqing Sect through most eras.

Such achievements are surely due to the Liang Family’s unique strengths and hidden resources.

Should the Liang Family ever be cornered with no way out, they likely wouldn’t hesitate to exact significant retribution on Yuanchen Sect’s factions.

And if fortune does not favor them, Yuanchen Sect’s factions might suffer severe losses. Even if they ultimately conquer the Liang Family, their own strength will undoubtedly be greatly diminished.

At that point, in Qingzhou Center, where experts abound, the threats from Jinfeng Nation’s surrounding forces will be considerable.

In this sense, the next eruption of war may very well lead to mutually destructive consequences for both sides.

As outsiders aiding the Liang Family, Lin Tianming and his allies are under no obligation to share their fate entirely.

Given this, Lin Tianming felt no need to worry excessively about the matter.

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Lin Tianming’s expression remained calm, and he quickly shifted topics, proactively discussing the situation in the Liusha Wasteland with Qin Xi.

Through Lin Tianming’s explanation, Qin Xi gained a general understanding of the Wasteland’s current state.

As expected, Qin Xi’s perspective aligned with Lin Tianming’s.

In her view, the Southern Qingzhou nations must have discovered traces of some Treasure, which prompted them to send their disciples, each with clear objectives.

Fortunately, as it stands, these forces have yet to engage in direct conflict, leaving the Southern Qingzhou region tentatively peaceful.

This realization brought her a slight sense of relief.

As for how the Lin Family might respond, Qin Xi’s outlook was largely similar to Lin Tianming’s.

However, Qin Xi’s understanding of the Lin Family was evidently less profound than Lin Tianming’s, so her confidence in the Lin Family’s ability to navigate these circumstances fell short of his.

In such a context, Qin Xi couldn’t help but feel deeply concerned about the possibility of the Lin Family being drawn into this storm.

Lin Tianming noticed Qin Xi’s worry and softly reassured her, eventually calming her down.

After that, the couple chatted for a while, exchanging their plans and perspectives for the coming days.

At the moment, when Yuanchen Sect’s factions might make their next move remains unknown.

But one thing is certain—it is only a matter of time.

Luckily, both of them have recently emerged from secluded cultivation, with their conditions and skills at their peak, fully ready to face any impending battles.

The only uncertainty is about Lin Tianhu and his group, who have yet to come out of isolation, leaving their current situation unclear.

If all goes as expected, the injuries they’ve sustained shouldn’t be severe, and recovery shouldn’t take too long.

Once their group emerges, all five of them will be able to join the fight.

Meanwhile, since Yuanchen Sect hasn’t made any major moves yet, the couple currently enjoys a relatively calm period.

During this time of peace, Lin Tianming plans not to idle but to take the opportunity to sort through the spoils from killing Xie Changyang and Li Wenhai.

If time permits, he intends to enter secluded cultivation again to strengthen his abilities and make more comprehensive preparations.
