Chapter 1551 War is Coming

Voices of dissatisfaction, anger, and frustration began to sound among different clans in the Blood Demon Territory.

Who could forget that the guy named Lin Xun had slaughtered his way from the depths of the Spirit Refinement Forest to the City of Protection?

Who could forget that that guy had besieged a city all by himself and killed so much that the Blood Demon Ancient Domain had lost all face and reputation?

But Xue Qingyi... Instead of taking revenge, he chose to endure!

He even withdrew all of the experts from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain who had been invading the Ancient Wasteland Territory!

That incident had already caused them a lot of shame and had made them become the laughing stock of other domains. But now, when faced with the best opportunity to break through the Ancient Wasteland Territory, Xue Qingyi actually decided to wait again!

He didn't even plan on sending a single expert!

Was he still that same Xue Qingyi who was one of the Azure Blue Eight Supremes? Wasn’t he supposed to be the leader of the younger generation of the Blood Demon Ancient Domain?

Why was he being so cowardly?

But no matter how angry they were, no matter who they were, they couldn’t change Xue Qingyi's decision. In the Blood Demon Territory, Xue Qingyi still had the final say.

No matter how aggrieved or dissatisfied the experts from the Blood Demon Ancient Domain were, they could only swallow those grievances down!

"Each territory is dispatching ten supreme Saints and an army of thirty thousand people. That comes out to a total of seventy supreme Saints and an army of 210,000.

"If Lin Xun cannot defend against this, then all the cultivators in the Ancient Wasteland Territory will be wiped out.

"But what if... Lin Xun manages to win?"

Xue Qingyi stood alone in the main hall with a sneer on his handsome face.

"Last time, thirty supreme Saints from our Blood Demon Ancient Domain were slaughtered by Lin Xun. This time, even if Lin Xun's sword ends up broken, he will inevitably drag a group of people down to be buried with him. Why does our Blood Demon Ancient Domain need to make such unnecessary sacrifices?”

He paused before continuing, "Just sit back and watch the show, as long as it's a good show... No matter who wins or loses, it will be beneficial to our Blood Demon Ancient Domain!"

Xue Qingyi took a deep breath. His previously downcast mood had returned to its usual calmness and tranquility.

...

When Xue Qingyi's decision reached Kun Shaoyu's ears, he couldn't help but be startled.

When did this guy...become so tolerant?

And when this news spread among the other seven domains, it caused countless people to burst out laughing.

"Is Xue Qingyi scared to death by that little bastard?"

"Hmph, I think it's time for him to be removed from the Azure Blue Eight Supremes. He has no balls at all."

"Isn't Xue Qingyi worried that his own reputation will be damaged?"

"Such an embarrassment. What on earth was he thinking?”

Amidst the heated discussions, the Blood Demon Ancient Domain suddenly became the object of ridicule from the other seven territories.

Regardless, the news that forces from seven of the eight domains would be dispatched together to launch an attack on the day Lin Xun would start building his city still caused a sensation on the Nine Domains Battlefield.

Within this turbulent period where the situation could change in the blink of an eye, many powerful experts from the Ancient Wasteland Domain came towards him from all directions.

The temporary camp immediately became lively. In addition, Lin Xun was also reunited with many familiar old friends, such as Xiao Cangtian, Ye Chen, Ji Xingyao, Mi Hengzhen, etc.

But Zhao Jingxuan was the only one who didn't appear.

This made Lin Xun sigh in his heart. He came to the decision that he would leave to find news about Zhao Jingxuan after the City of Protection was built.

Time went by, and about fifty thousand powerful experts from the Ancient Wasteland Domain had now gathered in the temporary camp. Most of them were ordinary longevity kings.

There are also some True Saints, but in terms of overall combat power, they were indeed very different from the other eight domains.

Even among the supreme figures, only Lin Xun, Shaohao and Ruowu had been able to set foot in the supreme Saint realm so far.

It can be said that in terms of overall power, the Ancient Wasteland Domain had no qualifications to compete with any of the other eight domains!

Thus, when the news came out that seven out of the eight domains had joined forces to attack Lin Xun on the day he would start building the city, the originally lively atmosphere in the huge temporary camp became depressing.

Many cultivators of the Ancient Wasteland Domain still felt worried under such circumstances even though they had made up their minds to go all out with Lin Xun.

The disparity between them was too great!

They didn’t see much hope.

Even powerful experts like Ruowu and Shaohao who had great confidence in Lin Xun couldn't help but feel heavy in their hearts.

If the city could be built successfully, it would be worth it no matter how much sacrifice had to be made.

But what if...

What if they didn't succeed?

Then they would be bound to come to the tragic end where all of their forces would be defeated and killed in one swoop!

As the day came closer, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more depressed, and many cultivators even felt uneasy.

In fact, many people couldn’t help but regret their decision, blaming themselves for coming over rashly when their emotions got hot...

Seeing this situation, Ruowu and Shaohao couldn't help but frown. The enemy had not yet come, but their internal fighting spirit was wavering. This was not good.

Ruowu couldn't help but murmur, "I don't know what Lin Xun is thinking."

Recently, Lin Xun had been acting as if nothing was going to happen. He simply took the aeth veins he unearthed and arranged them in different areas nearby, laying out and organizing the already refined Andalusite Golden Sand one by one.

He was completely indifferent to the situation in the camp.

Shaohao smiled. "Whenever big events happen, the more casual and calm he is, the more confident I am in him. If he was just like everyone else, worried and sighing, then I’d think there would be no point in trying to build the City of Protection. Instead we should just admit defeat."

"You can still laugh at this time?" Ruowu glanced at him.

Shaohao chuckled, "I'm just enjoying the taste of hardship."

"Enjoying the taste of hardship? Why does it feel like you don’t have enough to do?" A burst of laughter rang out, and they saw Lin Xun walking towards them from a distance. Although his expression was relaxed, his fatigue was evident.

For the past few days, he had been the only one setting up the formation. The array was as vast as the sea, so getting it ready took up an extraordinary amount of energy and effort on his part.

Of course, there was no room for any mistakes in setting up such a powerful formation, so no one else was able to help him at all. Lin Xun could only work hard by himself.

"The formation is complete?" Shaohao's eyes lit up.

Lin Xun nodded. "Now, there is one more thing to do."

"What's that?"

"If we want to build a city, it must be indestructible. Using the enemy's corpses and blood are simply embellishments. To support the foundation of a city, it needs to be based on divine materials." Lin Xun continued, "So, I need the help of two of you to refine a batch of Andalusite Golden Sand. The more, the better. It is best to meet the needs of building a city."

Shaohao and Ruowu both took a deep breath, "Build a city out of Andalusite Golden Sand?"

This idea was simply crazy!

"That's right. There’s no point in trying to do things half-heartedly. Since we’re going to do it, then we should at least build an immortal city that no one in the Nine Domains Battlefield can break apart!"

Lin Xun's black eyes sparkled, and his tone were firm, "That way, even if another Conflict of the Nine Domains breaks out again in the years to come, the experts of our Ancient Wasteland Domain will no longer have to hide like vagabonds and will only need to rely on the power of this city. They will be in an invincible position!"

Shaohao and Ruowu both looked moved.

Only then did they understand that Lin Xun's intention to build the city was actually bigger and more far-reaching than they had imagined!

After a while, Shaohao joked, "I thought you really planned to use the enemy's bones as materials to build a city, but it turns out you had other ideas."

Lin Xun smiled slightly. "Don't worry, the enemy's bones will definitely be piled on every brick and stone in this city!"

...

In the following period, Shaohao and Ruowu also became busy. One of them went to collect Andalusite Golden Sand, and the other led a group of True Saints to refine piles of Andalusite Golden Sand into huge bricks.

Then, Lin Xun carved each brick with different dao rune patterns.

As for the other experts in the camp, they also divided the work and cooperated to sort the bones and blood in the bone mountains and blood pools one by one, refine the raw ingredients, and polish them into city building materials.

It was getting closer and closer to the day of building the city.

One day, Shaohao hurriedly returned to the temporary camp and brought back a piece of news. "The forces of the seven domains have reached the border areas of the Ancient Wasteland Territory!"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire temporary camp became incredibly solemn and serious. Everyone became tense. The storm was coming. Who wouldn't be nervous?

Only Lin Xun was a little surprised, "Why didn’t Blood Demon Ancient Domain come?"

"Apparently Xue Qingyi decided to pass this time, but now he has become a laughing stock in the eight regions, and his reputation has hit rock bottom."

Shaohao had an odd expression on his face.

Lin Xun was startled, and then made a comment, "That guy is actually smart."

As he spoke, he flew into the sky, standing high, and his spirit sense spread, overlooking the surrounding fields.

He could see that within a radius of a hundred miles centered around the temporary camp, tall golden mountains made of bricks were placed at regular intervals.

These golden mountains were all made up of huge stone bricks refined from pieces of Andalusite Golden Sand.

For this purpose alone, Shaohao had almost emptied all the Andalusite Golden Sand distributed in a secret realm!

And below this hundred-mile area, under the ground where no one could see, was a gigantic dao rune array.

The formation diagram was engraved on the formation materials, and below the diagram were Saint-level aeth veins criss crossed all around!

Lin Xun, who had seen all this, couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. "A sacrifice of blood is needed to build this city..."

Ten days later.

There were only seven days left before the day that the city would be built, but on this day, Shaohao, who had been patrolling around the area, returned to the temporary camp at full speed.

"Everyone, be prepared, the enemy is coming!"

Shaohao's loud shout was like thunder, resounding over the temporary camp. For a moment, all of the experts in the camp froze, and their expressions changed drastically.

The enemy had come seven days early?!

Swoosh!

At the same time, Lin Xun soared into the sky. He was dressed in moon-white clothes, his handsome face was full of energy, and his black eyes were deep and bright.

"I knew a long time ago that they wouldn't be so stupid as to wait for the day of building the city!"

His cold voice resounded through the camp, making everyone stunned. It turned out that Lin Xun had expected this?

Thinking of this, every expert felt themselves relax, as if they had been infected by the confidence in Lin Xun's words.

Someone couldn't help but shout, "Brother Lin, war is coming. How sure are you?"

For a moment, countless eyes were focused on Lin Xun, some were worried, nervous, and expectant.
