Chapter Nine Hundred and Ten – Lin Qian’s Sword (2/2)
The three battalions broke through with little effort. The vast and empty Kun Lun was spread in front of them.
Gongsun Cha and the others did not choose to conquer the territory.
Kun Lun’s rule in these lands was deeply entrenched over thousands of years. The factions of various sizes here were fighting back and once Mo Cloud Sea tried to conquer these places, Mo Cloud Sea’s battalions would be tangled up in intensifying rebellions.
Therefore, the strategy Gongsun Cha and the others planned was simple and brutal.
Damage, constant damage to Kun Lun’s production capabilities and infrastructure!
Everywhere they passed, they didn’t conquer, they destroyed. This kind of destruction would not be immediately fatal for Kun Lun, but it was akin a thousand wounds on Kun Lun’s enormous body.
The bleeding would continue and Kun Lun would only becomeweaker with time.
Following behind the three top battalions were the first class battalions like Ma Fan and Tang Fei. Gongsun Cha knew that a chance like this would not occur again. He did not keep anything back. All of the first class battalions and elite battalions were mobilized.
They followed the three top battalions to enter the vast core of Kun Lun.
Time!
What was most important was time!
Gongsun Cha commanded that all battalions had to leave Kun Lun within ten days.
The jinzhi forts were being built day and night on the borders of Mo Cloud Sea. Kun Lun who had suffered so much loss was very likely to retaliate.
In these weeks, Kun Lun’s sky was covered in smoke.
The sect leader had been defeated, the main peak cut down, countless cities burned to ashes… …
Kun Lun seemed to reach the end of the road in the span of one night.
By the time the people of Kun Lun reacted, Mo Cloud Sea’s battalions had disappeared.
Seeing Kun Lun covered in wounds, everyone cried.
Lin Qian wanted to die.
Kun Lun was wailing after being trampled under the hooves of Mo Cloud Sea. Kun Lun had fallen under Wei Sheng’s sword. But at this time, he could not come out, he could not fight for his beloved Kun Lun, he could only stay in this hidden cavern and heal.
Lin Qian held the Immemorial Sword tightly. His handsome face was unusually pale. In just a few dozen days, he had thinned by a size. His bloodless lips moved, tears flowed out of his empty eyes and fell down his face.
“Master, sorry!”
“Sorry … …”
All of his pride had been completely destroyed. Kun Lun was his all, he lived for Kun Lun, he would forever live for Kun Lun!
If he hadn’t been defeated, the state of affairs would not be so bad, the main peak would not have been destroyed, Kun Lun would not have lost so, and Kun Lun would not have been humiliated!
“I am a criminal!”
“The criminal of Kun Lun!”
He said to himself as though he was proclaiming judgement on himself.
He stood up. A light suddenly appeared in his empty eyes. The light grew brighter and filled his eyes.
His wooden head slowly started to turn.
He sat silently. The excitement and madness in his eyes slowly grew. An indescribable determination was in his eyes and flowed in his body.
The Immemorial Shen Sword in his hand hummed and he felt an indescribable understanding.
His sword was Kun Lun!
Not for heaven or earth, not for the laws, not for the people, only for Kun Lun!
This body belonged to Kun Lun, this sword belonged to Kun Lun!
All the laws of the world were below Kun Lun, all the emotions of the world were below Kun Lun.
This was his sword, Kun Lun above all!
The energies in Lin Qian’s body suddenly flowed and circulated. Half of his injuries healed. His sword essence level had once again made another advancement!
In the fight with Wei Sheng that day, Wei Sheng had found his sword path. Today, Lin Qian also found the sword path for him.
Kun Lun had reached its most precarious moment.
Lin Qian did not feel any joy. At this time, his level of sword essence was just matched to Wei Sheng. His wounds had not healed, and he was still at a disadvantage.
But he did not continue to spend time recovering. Kun Lun had reached the edge of a precipice.
He must lead!
He was also below Kun Lun!

Translator Ramblings: Five more to go! Lin Qian’s epiphany really highlights the difference between him and Wei Sheng. This is a kind of zeal that I can almost admire. Both Lin Qian and Wei Sheng put their beliefs at the core of their life, but for Lin Qian, he can sacrifice anything and anyone for his beliefs. On the other hand, Wei Sheng put his friends and close people as first and his belief is a result of his conviction to protect.
