Chapter 1713: Being Surrounded

What infuriated Long Chen and the others was that the Xuantian Dao Sect, whose construction had almost been completed, was now in ruins . The soaring pavilions and unending mountain range had been destroyed .

“There’s no need to be so angry . As a leader, you can’t always let your emotions affect you over some minor things . It will affect your judgment . ”

Li Tianxuan’s voice rang out, and he walked out of the mountain gate . All the Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples walked out along with him .

“Senior apprentice-brother Long Chen!”

When they saw Long Chen and the others return safe and well, these disciples’ eyes brimmed with tears of excitement . They had thought that they would never see them again .

When they returned to make their report of what had happened, they found that the Xuantian Dao Sect had met a surprise attack from the Corrupt path .

At that time, when those Corrupt experts retreated, they had said to wait for Long Chen’s corpse . Those disciples had turned cold . They knew that the target of these experts was Long Chen .

Now seeing that he was alive, they all cheered emotionally . After fighting together for over two months, their bonds had been reforged with blood, as well as the sacrifices of many lives . These kinds of bonds could only be understood by them .

Long Chen was also extremely moved to see these disciples’ emotions . He cupped his fists toward them .

Li Tianxuan was still as calm as ever, as if he couldn’t see the damage to the Xuantian Dao Sect . He patted Long Chen on the shoulder . “Good job . You’ve won face for the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Eastern Xuan Region, and the Martial Heaven Continent . ”

“What face? It seems more like we lost all our face this time! It’s my first being beaten so miserably by someone’s schemes . If it weren’t for… ugh, I won’t say it, it’s too infuriating . ” Long Chen clenched his teeth .

This time had been truly dangerous . It made an alarm go off in Long Chen’s head . Being targeted by Heavenly Fate Island meant he would have to be especially careful in the future .

“We were just about to finish the construction of the sect, and those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds destroyed it all! f.u.c.k, let’s charge into the Corrupt path right now and kill them all!” raged Gu Yang .

Li Tianxuan smiled . “What you’re seeing is just some superficial damage . The foundation of the Dao Sect isn’t harmed . Actually, this was all done deliberately by me . Let’s go . We can talk inside . ”

Li Tianxuan led them inside while the disciples cheered .

“Deliberately? You mean…?” asked Long Chen .

“If I didn’t do this, how do you think I could trick the Corrupt path’s three Devil Kings? How else do you think I could cripple one of them? The damage to the surface is rather bad, but the foundation is fine and the formation is undamaged . The formation diagram that Xia Chen sent us is even stronger than we expected . It supports the Xuantian Tower, giving it enough power to almost kill one of the Devil Kings . We destroyed his physical body, and while he got away in the end, his Yuan Spirit is essentially crippled . He was on death’s door when he fled . Crippling one of the three great Devil Kings of the Corrupt path will win us a giant reward from the Martial Heaven Alliance, which is more than enough to make up for this damage . Most importantly, we managed to show our power, and no one will be able to shake our position as overlord of the Eastern Xuan Region . Those rumors that the Xuantian Dao Sect is an empty sh.e.l.l have all collapsed . As for you, Long Chen, you managed to get first place on the Devil Slaughter Rankings . It can be said that the Xuantian Dao Sect’s glory has surpa.s.sed all previous generations . ” Toward the end, Li Tianxuan and the patriarch’s eyes were filled with pride .

This was an indescribable glory . As the sect leaders of the Xuantian Dao Sect, they had had a mission to revive the sect’s glory . Now, that had been made reality during their time . They couldn’t suppress their pride .

“They all told me what happened . You did very well this time . Even if I was personally leading, I wouldn’t have been able to do any better . ” Li Tianxuan patted Long Chen on the shoulder .

Li Tianxuan didn’t specialize in fighting, he specialized in control and planning . In the Devil Abyss, Long Chen had led his troops steadily, without any trace of the carelessness of youth .

During the battle between heavenly geniuses fighting for first, Long Chen hadn’t shown any compet.i.tiveness . He had given orders based on the big picture . That was the style of a general .

“Xuan Master, if I didn’t know you better, I’d think you were being ironic . ” Long Chen bitterly smiled .

Just as they were speaking, they arrived at the core of the Xuantian Dao Sect . Only now did everyone see that while the damage looked terrible from the outside, it wasn’t actually that bad . The broken mountain ranges were deliberate . As long as the formation was activated, they would be restored .

The broken buildings only had their top floors damaged . Their foundation hadn’t been rattled at all .

Upon returning to the Dao Sect, the disciples that had fought returned to their residences to rest . Healing experts had already examined all of them to see if there were any hidden injuries .
