Ba Zhou was in complete chaos following the withdrawal of the Black Emperor Sect. All the powerful native forces in Ba Zhou wanted to become the overlord of Ba Zhou, while all the unaffiliated cultivators wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune. Ba Zhou was in complete chaos following the withdrawal of the Black Emperor Sect. All the powerful native forces in Ba Zhou wanted to become the overlord of Ba Zhou, while all the unaffiliated cultivators wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and make a fortune.
As a result, the martialists in Ba Zhou were in complete chaos. Moreover, it wasn't just the martialists in Ba Zhou. Many martialists from the surrounding provinces were also pouring into Ba Zhou.
Anyone could see that the current Bazhou was in a state of chaos, and this chaos just so happened to provide them with the opportunity to fight for various cultivation resources.
While Ba Zhou was in chaos, Xiao Chen and a group of higher-ups of the Sword Sect gathered in the main hall of the Sword Sect to discuss matters related to Ba Zhou.
Xiao Chen really hadn't expected that the Black Emperor Sect would actually give up on Ba Zhou. After all, the Black Emperor Sect had been operating in Ba Zhou for so many years. It wasn't easy for them to give up on Ba Zhou.
However, the facts proved that the Black Emperor Sect still chose to give up. As for the reason, Xiao Chen, Cang Xing, and the others could guess a little. It was probably because of the Sword Sect.
After all, Ba Zhou and the Sword Sect were too close. The Black Emperor Sect felt threatened as the Sword Sect's vision kept getting stronger. In order to protect the Black Emperor Sect's inheritance, He Sui chose to withdraw and give up on Ba Zhou.
Xiao Chen didn't think that He Sui's choice was wrong. He even thought that He Sui had good foresight. After all, Xiao Chen had also thought of taking action against the Black Emperor Sect. However, the time wasn't right yet.
If the Black Emperor Sect stayed in Ba Zhou and was unwilling to leave, then the final outcome would be either being destroyed or annexed by the Sword Sect.
Therefore, even though He Sui seemed to have lost a lot by giving up on Ba Zhou, in fact, he had successfully protected the Black Emperor Sect and prevented the Black Emperor Sect from coming into direct contact with the Sword Sect.
Xiao Chen understood what He Sui was thinking. However, it was useless to talk about this now that the Black Emperor Sect had withdrawn. Ba Zhou was in front of Xiao Chen now.
Ba Zhou. Since the Black Emperor Sect had withdrawn, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't give up on this delicious cake.. Xiao Chen didn't hesitate and immediately expressed his intention to take over Ba Zhou.
Cang Xing and the others did not object to Xiao Chen's decision. After all, the Ba Prefecture was now an ownerless land. Moreover, it was right next to the Sword Prefecture. As such, how could the Swords Gate let go of this opportunity that was right in front of their mouths?
Moreover, with the current strength of the Sword Sect, it wasn't difficult for them to take over Ba Zhou. On the contrary, it could be said to be very simple. This was because within Ba Zhou, no one was a match for the Sword Sect.
Everyone agreed to take over Ba Zhou. With a consensus, Xiao Chen decided, "Cang Xing, Zhou Song, Lin Qing, the three of you follow me to Ba Zhou."
Xiao Chen was prepared to personally head to Ba Zhou. Cang Xing and the other two would accompany him, along with three End Realm experts. Along with the other Sword Sect experts, this strength was enough to shock all the powers within Ba Zhou.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing and the other two nodded their heads in agreement.
After settling the matter, Xiao Chen didn't return to his residence. He brought Cang Xing and the other two along with the Sword Sect experts and left the Sword Sect, rushing towards Ba Zhou.
Xiao Chen had come to Hundred Sword City before. It was located at the border between Ba Zhou and Sword Zhou. In the past, Hundred Sword City was bustling. However, during this period of time, Hundred Sword City was in chaos.
There was a constant stream of ordinary people from the Bazhou who wanted to enter the Hundred Swords City. However, they had no choice as the Bazhou was simply too chaotic right now. It was very difficult for people like them who had no cultivation, or rather, low cultivation, to survive in the Bazhou.
The current Ba Zhou was like a barbaric world. All laws, morals, and principles were like floating clouds. Everything depended on one's fists.
As for them who lived at the bottom, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered in the current Ba Zhou. They didn't have any ability to fight back at all.
Therefore, many people began to flee towards Ba Zhou. However, with so many people surging into Hundred Sword City, it also put a lot of pressure on Hundred Sword City.
After all, it was impossible for a small city like Hundred Sword City to accommodate so many people. Therefore, many people who had rushed over from Ba Zhou were turned away outside Hundred Sword City.
These people couldn't enter the city, but they didn't dare to return to Ba Zhou. Therefore, they could only settle down outside the city for the time being.
Many people knew that the Hundred Swords City was absolutely safe. After all, no matter how chaotic the Bazhou was, there wasn't a single power in the Bazhou that dared to provoke the Swords Gate. Therefore, the Hundred Swords City was absolutely safe.
The city was already packed with people. Outside the city, if one stood on the city wall and looked down, they would see a simple slum that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were hundreds of thousands of people living here.
In order to stabilize the order of Hundred Sword City, the Sword Sect had sent many disciples to Hundred Sword City. At this moment, in the city, on the city wall and outside the city gate, youths wearing the Sword Sect's disciple uniform could be seen everywhere. There were also deacons and even elders.
However, what made everyone feel strange was that the elders and disciples of the Sword Sect in Hundred Sword City were all gathered outside the city gate. It seemed like they were waiting for a certain important person.
A person who could make the Sword Sect wait so respectfully was obviously not an ordinary person. Soon, everyone knew who the Sword Sect was waiting for. It was Xiao Chen and his group.
Under the protection of Cang Xing and the other two, Xiao Chen's figure appeared outside Hundred Sword City. When they saw Xiao Chen, the Sword Sect's disciples respectfully greeted him.
"Greetings, Sect Master."
Facing their hearts, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Then, surrounded by the crowd, he strode into Hundred Sword City.
The City Lord's Mansion had long been requisitioned by the Sword Sect. Now, Hundred Sword City could be said to be under the direct jurisdiction of the Sword Sect.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Chen sat on the main seat. He looked at an elder below him and asked, "What's the situation now?"
This elder had been in charge of the affairs of Hundred Sword City. He clearly understood the current situation of Hundred Sword City the most. At this moment, when faced with Xiao Chen's question, the elder replied nervously.
"Sect Master, more and more refugees are pouring into Hundred Sword City. The number of refugees is estimated to have exceeded a million. Hundred Sword City is unable to cope with such a number of people, so the city has been temporarily sealed."
This person was only an ordinary elder of the Sword Sect. It was impossible for him to come into contact with Xiao Chen. At this moment, in front of him, Xiao Chen, Cang Xing and the others were all the higher-ups of the Sword Sect. Facing them, the elder couldn't help but feel nervous.
