Chapter 247: The Great Battle Of Tianling Province
I wonder how the battle is unfolding over at the five elements grotto-heavens.
From what Li Fan understood, the Myriad Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Council had not entered into a full-scale war for nearly three hundred years. Any friction between them had usually been limited to a single province at most.
A situation like this, where the entire territory was mobilizing for war, was exceedingly rare.
He continued asking around, probing one acquaintance after another in hopes of confirming his suspicions about the cause of the conflict.
Unfortunately, information regarding the war was tightly sealed. Every reply he received amounted to little more than vague uncertainty.
As the dark clouds of war gathered overhead, the once calm and leisurely atmosphere of Myriad Immortals Island turned heavy and austere. Unease and anxiety were faintly etched onto every face.
As an array maintenance technician of the Strategy Array Hall, Li Fan was soon assigned duties of his own.
He was to form a patrol squad together with members of the Martial Hall, tasked with guarding the borders of the Congyun Sea.
In addition, they were responsible for setting up arrays and maintaining constant vigilance against infiltration by spies from the Five Elders Council.
The squad leader was Shan Wu, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator. The rest of the team included several Foundation Establishment cultivators, among them Huan Sui, who had previously worked with Li Fan during the mission to exterminate the red-haired exotic beasts.
Li Fan’s squad was only one among many.
The Myriad Immortals Alliance had mobilized nearly all of its grassroots forces on Myriad Immortals Island, a clear indication of how seriously the Alliance’s higher-ups regarded this war.
