I Can Travel between Two Worlds

Elder Wan died in battle?

Which Elder Wan...

Lin Chen felt a jolt in his heart.

The Elder with the surname Wan, the Sect tolled the bell four times after his death, indicating his status was even higher than a Peak Master.

Who else could it be?

"Wan Xun... is dead?"

Lin Chen was deeply shaken and found it hard to believe.

He had interacted with Wan Xun quite a bit, having faced hardships together, fighting against Tribulation Cultivators.

He even formed a deep friendship with Wan Xun under the alias Xu Shi.

Not long ago, during the Core Formation celebration hosted by Lin Chen and Li Zhenqian, they received congratulations and gifts from Wan Xun.

At that time, Wan Xun had already achieved a Third Turn Golden Core, coupled with his Eighth Grade Golden Core talent...

Even a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator wouldn’t compare.

But such a person, who held hopes of reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, a pillar for the future of the Changchun Sect, regarded as a successor to the Sect Leader... dead?!

Lin Chen took a deep breath, standing together with the disciples.

In front of the many disciples, Wang Changchun barely maintained his composure.

But the slight trembling of his hands behind him told everything.

"Sect Leader, is this true?"

"Senior Brother Wan really died..."

"No, this can’t be! How could Elder Wan be dead?"

At this moment, the Sect Disciple Plaza was in chaos.

Hundreds of disciples, even elders, refused to believe the fact of Wan Xun’s death.

Wan Xun had joined the Changchun Sect many years ago and was the Senior Brother of Sword Peak.

He was very kind to his junior brothers and sisters...

But such an almost perfect cultivator, unexpectedly, died...

Listening to the shouts of disciples around him.

Lin Chen also fell silent.

He recalled the time during the battle to annihilate the Tribulation Cultivators, when Wan Xun handed over his share of the spoils to the family of a deceased junior brother.

He also remembered, in the Golden Yuan Sect ruins.

Wan Xun risked himself to save Li Zhenqian.

"If Junior Brother Li found out, he would be very upset..."

Lin Chen felt somewhat sorrowful, but suddenly met a gaze.

It was Li Zhenqian.

At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot, standing dazed not far from Lin Chen...

"This, this isn’t true!"

Li Zhenqian suddenly shouted.

Wang Changchun heard and frowned.

He shouted:

"Silence!"

"The death of Wan Xun... is a fact!"

"But, this is war, this is the war between the Orthodox and Demonic Party!"

"What war doesn’t have deaths? Even Core Formation Cultivators... even Nascent Soul True Men might not be spared!"

Wang Changchun’s tone was firm, maintaining the authority of the Sect Leader in his words.

He was Wan Xun’s master, had diligently trained him for decades, and viewed him as a successor...

Upon learning of Wan Xun’s death, perhaps no one was sadder than his master.

But he was still a Sect Leader who needed to maintain authority and couldn’t crumble!

If the Sect Leader collapsed, the Changchun Sect would be on the verge of annihilation.

"Zhenqian..."

Wang Changchun sighed, looking at the disciples and elders, he said:

"This time, the war report from the front indicates the Three Great Demon Sects gathered more than ten Core Formation cultivators, catching us by surprise..."

"But our Righteous Alliance has not lost yet!"

"In recent years, the Righteous Alliance has added dozens of Core Formation cultivators. The war line is simply too long; our Changchun Sect is in the Yanlai Realm, while the front line is in the Purple Smoke Realm..."

"Therefore, I have decided to fully retract the arrangements at the front line and compress the war line."

"Together with the Celestial Pill Sect, we will use the border of the Fog Country as the front line, temporarily resisting the Demon Path to seek future counterattacks..."

After a pause, Wang Changchun continued:

"Moreover, because Elder Wan fought to the end without retreating."

"Under the pressure of the Demon Path army, he bought time for the disciples and other elders at the front line, thus preserving a significant part of the cultivators..."

Wang Changchun said a few sentences to boost the morale of the cultivators in the disciple plaza.

After hearing this, many disciples regained confidence.

"That’s right! The front line failed because the war line was too long..."

"We still have dozens of Core Formation cultivators and will certainly crush the Demon Path!"

Thousands of disciples in the plaza discussed fervently, ultimately converging into one voice.

"Counterattack against the Demon Path, uphold the prestige of the Changchun Sect!"

"Counterattack against the Demon Path, uphold the prestige of the Righteous Alliance..."

Seeing the rekindled fighting spirit in the disciples, Wang Changchun nodded.

Then he cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, next... all elders and Peak Masters above the Fake Pill Period, come to my hall..."

"As for the disciples, prepare well for the upcoming battle."

"All resources in the Changchun Sect Treasure Vault can be exchanged at eighty percent contribution points."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the disciples lit up instantly.

The eighty percent exchange of resources in the vault could save a lot of money.

Lin Chen stood in the plaza, nodding slightly.

Though the situation on the front line was grim, Wang Changchun had some means to regather the Sect’s morale.

Wang Changchun scanned the crowd, and Lin Chen received his voice transmission.

"Elder Lin, you also come to my inner hall."

Soon, the disciples in the plaza dispersed.

Some went to exchange resources; others were preparing for the upcoming battle.

Yet, some timid disciples seemed already inclined to retreat.

Lin Chen, along with over twenty elders and Peak Masters at the Fake Pill Period, went to the Sect Leader’s inner hall.

At this time, Wang Changchun sat in the Sect Leader’s seat, waved his sleeve, and closed the inner hall door.

After setting up an array, he sighed.

Looking at the over twenty elders, the worry on Wang Changchun’s face was no longer concealed.

"Everyone... you are the core of the Changchun Sect. I won’t hide the war report from the front line from you all..."

"On the Purple Smoke Realm front line, our Changchun Sect had six Core Formation Stage elders, a hundred Foundation Establishment disciples, and over a thousand Qi Refining Stage disciples... all perished in battle!"

"Currently, the Demon Sect army has swept through the first three cities at the front line and is preparing to invade the last three cities. They are advancing towards Xinliang City."
