My Avatar Has Entries - Chapter 188

  Chapter 188 War Situation

  The war between Jiuyangzong and Xuehaizong is in full swing.

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

   After all, the opponent is a powerful sect that rules a large city, but Jiuyang Sect is only one of the three major sects in Linlong City. The gap in strength is very obvious, if not huge.

  Because of this, the mission of recruiting spiritual acupoints released by Nine Yang Sect in Gongdeyuan, the rewards are extremely generous, just to attract more disciples from the sect to participate in the spiritual acupoint war.

  Lin Shen first went to the Gongdeyuan, accepted the recruitment task, and received the amulet to enter the underground spiritual cave, then left the mountain gate and rushed to the Longyuan Mountain Range.

   Riding on the flying boat Juyun, Lin Shen arrived at the underground spiritual cave in a short time.

  The desolate and secluded mountain peaks in the past have become noisy and lively, with clouds and flying boats constantly coming and going.

  The brilliance emitted by the technique and the magic weapon almost dyed the sky above the entire mountain peak with a layer of misty seven colors.

  Lin Shen let go of his spiritual sense, and quickly sensed the layers of restrictions covering the entire mountain.

  Even if he didn’t experience it personally, he could clearly perceive the power of these restrictions.

  Even if the alchemy master comes, it is estimated that he will not be able to break through these layers of restrictions for a while.

   “It seems that the sect has invested a lot of effort here!” Lin Shen secretly said.

  These prohibitions are mostly internal, and it is self-evident who the target of prevention is.

   Putting away the flying boat, Lin Shen took out the amulet to open the restriction, and landed on the mountainside.

   Immediately, disciples greeted him and checked the card symbols routinely.

  Although it was an inspection, his demeanor was very respectful.

   After all, all those who can accept the recruitment task at the moment are monks without exception.

  The ones patrolling the mountain are all disciples of Mingqiao Realm, so naturally they dare not neglect these monks in the slightest.

  After the check was correct, the disciple held the amulet in both hands and handed it back to Lin Shen, respectfully saying:

   “Brother Lin, this is the first time you have received a recruiting task. According to the rules, you need to go to the guarding elder, and the elder will arrange specific tasks.”

  The war between the sects is different from ordinary battles. It is impossible to let the disciples act at will. Instead, several guarding elders make overall plans and issue tasks. The disciples who complete the tasks can get meritorious service and exchange them for various resources.

  Lin Shen nodded lightly, asked where the guarding elders were, thanked them, turned around and walked into the crypt.

  The wide crypt is filled with array flags, and in the center of the white jade fence, there are large patches of silver light in the deep holes, interweaving to form a swirl-shaped light cluster, which is slowly sunken downwards.

  After the war with the Blood Sea Sect broke out, the real master personally took action and set up a formation to keep the holes of the spiritual cave permanently open so that the sect could continue to send disciples into it.

  However, the resources consumed by this method are astronomical, and the Nine Suns Sect can’t last long with all the strength of the whole sect.

   It can be foreseen that if the Blood Ocean Sect cannot be defeated in the next few years and completely occupy the spiritual acupoint, the Nine Sun Sect will undoubtedly be in trouble.

   At that time, either give up the spiritual acupoint, or take a step back, and let the Jingtao Sect and the Cyan Frost Sect also participate in the war with the Blood Sea Sect.

  In this way, although it is necessary to share the spiritual acupoint with the other two sects, it is better than completely losing the spiritual acupoint.

   While thinking, Lin Shen jumped into the vortex of light.

  When the vision became clear again, Lin Shen was already in the spiritual acupoint.

  Looking around, there are densely packed caves and deep ditches in all directions, and I don’t know where they lead.

  The breast columns hang upside down on the top, like sharp piles.

  The scene in front of me was exactly the same as when I entered the spiritual cave for the first time.

   It’s just that Lin Shen keenly felt that the aura in the air was much more restless than before, perhaps because there were too many fights in the acupoint during this period.

  Calm down, Lin Shen took out the map, discerned the direction slightly, and flew towards the Zongmen camp.

  The camp of Zongmen was set up two or three miles away from the entrance of the spiritual cave.

   This distance was but a fleeting moment to Lin Shen. Not long after, a stretch of rolling towers and courtyard houses came into view, stretching horizontally for several miles.

  A faint spiritual light enveloped the entire building complex airtightly, which was the protective formation set up by the elders.

The talisman is useless here—in case a cultivator from the Blood Sea Sect kills and steals the talisman and pretends to be a disciple of the Nine Sun Sect—Lin Shen stopped in front of the formation, and reported his name and affiliation to the two monks who came forward .

  When they heard that the person in front of them was Lin Shen, the two monks were taken aback. They looked Lin Shen up and down, as if they were looking at some rare beast.

   Obviously, the confrontation between Lin Shen and the Shan family has spread to the underground spiritual cave.

   When he came back to his senses, one of the monks hurriedly cupped his hands and said, “Brother Lin, wait a moment, I’ll report to the elders right away!”

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

  Another monk seemed to be worried that Lin Shen would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly explained:

  ”The monks who come to the spiritual cave for the first time need to be collected by the guarding elders to integrate into the formation, and there is no need to interrogate them when they enter and exit in the future.”

  Lin Shen was stunned, and waved his hand to express that he didn’t mind.

  A moment later, the monk who had left returned, accompanied by a handsome man in his thirties.

   Walking forward a few steps quickly, the man came to Lin Shen and said with a smile on his face:

   “Uncle, please follow me, the guarding elders are just releasing tasks right now.”

  Uncle?

  Lin Shen was stunned, what’s going on?

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

   “My memory is poor, I forgot to mention, uncle, my name is Liao Sen, and my teacher’s name is Ji Yunze.”

  Ji Yunze?

  A doubt flashed in Lin Shen’s eyes.

  He just came to the mountain gate not long ago, and spent most of his time practicing on Jinchuan Island, so he is not very familiar with many interpersonal relationships in the mountain gate.

  But the name Ji Yunze still has some impressions, it seems that Xia Mengran once mentioned it to him.

   It seems to be a deacon of the Bingfa Yuan.

  Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Lin Shen’s mind, and he asked, “Who is Principal Huo?”

  Liao Sen smiled slightly and said, “He is my master.”

  Lin Shen suddenly understood.

  Principal Huo refers to Huo Enrong, the principal of the Bingfa Academy.

  When Lin Shen heard this name for the first time, it was when the Zongmen was crusading against the Tiger Department.

  The person in charge of the crusade at that time was Huo Enrong.

  The head of the Bingfa Academy, regardless of status or power, is enough to rank among the top ten in the entire Nine Suns Sect.

   More importantly, Huo Enrong belongs to the line of master and apprentice, and he and Yu Siyu are brothers and sisters.

   In other words, based on seniority, Lin Shen and Liao Sen’s master Ji Yunze belong to the same generation.

  From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Liao Sen calling him uncle.

  Lin Shen was a little dumbfounded.

  Liao Sen was at least one round older than him. It felt really weird to be called Master Uncle by such a person.

  Lin Shen simply said: “Brother Liao, regardless of seniority between me and you, you should still call me by my name.”

   “This…” Liao Sen hesitated for a while, but finally agreed, “Then I’d rather be respectful than obedient, brother Lin please!”

  To be honest, Liao Sen was still relieved.

   After all, calling a young man who is more than ten years younger than me an uncle, I always feel that something is wrong.

  Of course, he still admires Lin Shen very much.

  The matter of Lin Shen and the Shan family has long been known to everyone.

  It is really admirable to be able to defeat characters like Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan in his early twenties!

  If it were him, he would not be sure of victory against Shang Shan Jingchun, let alone Shan Liangshan.

   It was precisely because of this that he volunteered to meet Lin Shen after hearing that Lin Shen was coming.

   After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two walked side by side towards the camp.

   “Blood Ocean Sect has been very restless recently, and it is estimated that a new wave of offensive is brewing. After discussing with several guarding elders, they decided to preemptively strike and seize a few positions!”

  On the way, Liao Sen told Lin Shen about the condition of the spiritual acupoint.

  Under his narration, Lin Shen also had a general understanding of the current situation of Lingxue.

  The war between the two sects can be simply divided into two parts.

   One is the confrontation at the top level of combat power.

   That is the battle of Xuanguangqi monks.

  For the monks of the Xuanguang period, the monks of the Yunling period are just ants that can be killed easily, and even the monks of the Yunling period who have condensed the seeds of Xuanguang are just bigger ants.

  Once the monk Xuanguangqi takes action against the monk Yunlingqi, it will definitely be a disaster for the latter.

  So the two sects gradually formed a tacit understanding, that is, the Xuanguangqi monks on both sides would not attack each other’s Yunlingqi juniors, and they, the Xuanguangqi monks, would fight each other.

  Of course, this does not mean that the monks in the Yunling period played a small role in this war.

   In fact, they also bear very important responsibilities.

  Blood Sea Sect and Jiuyang Sect used array flags to lay out a large number of array points in the spiritual acupoint, and they were connected to each other to form a large-scale array similar to the spirit-gathering array.

  With the help of formations, monks can mobilize the aura in the spiritual acupoint in battle, thereby greatly improving their strength.

  The more points there are, the more aura a monk can mobilize.

  The battle between Xuanguangqi monks will also be affected by the formation.

  However, there are limited places in the spiritual cave suitable for setting up formation points. In order to compete for these formation points, the two sects frequently fought.

  Evolved later, the task of the Yunlingqi monks became to occupy more positions and provide assistance to the Xuanguangqi monks of their own sect.

   This is the second part of this war!

   “How many positions do we occupy now?” Lin Shen asked.

  Liao Sen sighed, and said solemnly: “There are now 183 points in the spiritual cave, and our sect only occupies 79, not even half of them!”

   “Because of this reason, the elders have often been at a disadvantage in the fight against monk Xuan Guangqi of the Blood Ocean Sect.”

  Lin Shen frowned slightly.

  Seventy-nine vs. one hundred and four, this is a bit far off.

  Nine Yang Sect was not as strong as Blood Sea Sect, if they could gain an advantage in the number of formations, there would be no possibility of victory.

   Looking at the current situation, the situation is obviously very unfavorable to Jiuyangzong.

“Blood Ocean Sect has many more monks entering the spiritual cave than us. Whether it is to sit in the formation or capture the formation, our sect is facing the dilemma of insufficient manpower. Now it is very good to be able to defend the formation in hand .” Liao Sen shook his head and sighed.

  During the conversation, the two had come to the tower in the center of the camp.

  Liao Sen restrained his expression and stepped into it with Lin Shen.

  The space inside the tower is far more spacious than it looks from the outside, obviously because of the use of some kind of formation.

  Many monks were walking back and forth, and all of them were in a hurry and looked solemn.

  Liao Sen gestured to Lin Shen, and immediately led the way upstairs.

  He is obviously well-known here, many people looked at him along the way, and even noticed Lin Shen beside him.

   Soon someone recognized Lin Shen.

   “It’s Lin Shen!”

   “The Lin Shen who defeated Shan Jingchun and Shan Liangshan?”

   “Who else? I didn’t expect him to come to the underground spiritual cave.”

   “It’s normal, the rewards for this call-up mission are too generous, it’s not surprising that Lin Shen would be tempted!”

  In today’s Nine Suns Sect, Lin Shen is undoubtedly the most popular young monk.

  Especially the recent conflict between him and the Shan family, which made many people hear his name like a thunderbolt.

  As more and more people recognized Lin Shen, the tower building unsurprisingly caused a commotion.

   “Quiet! How noisy and noisy!”

   A deep shout suddenly came from upstairs, suppressing the noisy discussion at once.

  All the monks shut up one after another, and continued to busy themselves with their own affairs.

  Liao Sen winked at Lin Shen, and the two stepped up and walked upstairs.

  In the spacious and bright hall on the top floor, seven elders sat around each other with solemn expressions.

  These seven auras are not visible, they look like ordinary people, but only monks know how powerful these seven are.

   Sitting in the first place was a twenty-four or five-year-old man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a handsome appearance.

  At the level of monk Xuanguang, appearance is meaningless.

  As long as he wants to, the Xuanguan cultivator can restore his appearance to any age at will, even when he was a child.

  Because the inside and outside of the body are cleansed and thoroughly nourished by spiritual energy, monk Xuanguang has almost no ugliness, and all of them are handsome men and beautiful women without exception.

  However, there are some Xuanguang monks who deliberately keep their appearance in an old state.

  For example, among the seven Xuanguang monks in front of me, three of them have white hair on their temples, long snow-white beards under their jaws, and an image of a fairy-like old man.

  Early before coming here, Liao Sen had introduced to Lin Shen the guardian elders in the camp.

  Combined with the general hearing before, Lin Shen quickly recognized the identities of the seven elders present.

  The young man sitting at the top is Elder Qi Dao.

  Although he is only an elder and does not have the position of head of the sect, Qi Dao’s status in the sect is not lower than that of the head of the sect, second only to the master of the sect.

   And it is said that he had reached the ninth level of Xuanguang ten years ago.

  Many disciples are guessing that it won’t be long before Elder Qi Dao will be promoted to Dan Dan.

  Among the remaining six people, except for the two elders, the other four are all the heads of the courtyards.

   It is worth mentioning that, apart from Qi Dao, among the remaining six elders, people from the master-student line and half from the family influence each accounted for half.

  As soon as Lin Shen stepped into the hall, the eyes of the seven elders all cast their gazes over.

  After looking at it for a while, Qi Dao nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

   “That’s right, he is a good seedling. Director Yu has taken in a good apprentice.”
