The impassioned voices of the disciples from the Four Sect Alliances reverberated throughout the mountain path. Following their voices, more and more people appeared on the cliffs on both sides.
These people wore all sorts of clothes and came from different factions in the surrounding area. At this moment, all of them were gathered here to fight the Assassination Society to the death.
And the figure on the cliff was the blue-armored Prince Namgong.
This included Lin Yun, Prince Namgong, Hana Mio, and a few others who had left their divine senses on them so that he could contact them at any time. This also included Lin Yun not letting Prince Namgong return to the Misty Clouds Sect after he found out that he had subdued the surrounding 100,000 soldiers.
Actually, two days ago, Prince Namgong had already subdued 100,000 soldiers. However, Lin Yun had split the 100,000 soldiers into 10 groups to constantly harass and assassinate the surrounding factions' troops.
Not long ago, when he found out that the Misty Clouds Sect was being attacked by the Assassination Society, he immediately informed Prince Namgong to lead the entire army here.
Prince Namgong leaped down from the cliff and landed beside Lin Yun, bowing respectfully.
Lin Yun placed his hands behind his back and looked at Ma Xuan in silence.
"There's still time! Today, let's stop here. Everyone, retreat! " Ma Xuan stared at Lin Yun resentfully. This person was too much of a hindrance to him. If he didn't get rid of him, he would become a huge enemy of the Assassination Society in the future.
Although the numbers of both sides were about the same, the Assassination Society still had hundreds of thousands of troops, so there was no need to panic.
After leaving this time, they could regroup and attack the Heaven Fiend Mountain Range again very soon.
Following Ma Xuan's voice, all the soldiers of the Assassination Society turned around and retreated cautiously.
The soldiers from the surrounding factions were all rubbing their fists on the cliff, waiting for Prince Namgong to give the order for their army to attack. These days, they had had enough of the endless pursuit of the Assassination Society.
Boss, are we going to chase? "Prince Namgong looked at Lin Yun and asked respectfully.
"Don't chase a cornered enemy." Lin Yun shook his head. After a night of battle, although the Assassination Society had suffered heavy losses, the Four Sect Alliance wasn't much better off.
Even though the Assassination Society had retreated, the disciples of the Four Sect Alliances were all in a state of exhaustion. If they were to continue the chase, they would only be at a disadvantage. Thus, it was better for them to return and recuperate for another battle in the future.
The retreating army stirred up a cloud of dust. They didn't even deal with the corpses of their comrades, leaving the ground littered with corpses.
After the Assassination Society's army left, the disciples of the Four Sect Alliances sat powerlessly on the ground with their hands covering their eyes. They were unwilling to see their relatives, brothers, and even lovers amongst the corpses.
When the rest of the people saw this, they all lowered their heads and remained silent. A sorrowful atmosphere filled the air, and even the gentle breeze brought with it a cold aura.
Looking at these people, Lin Yun sighed and shook his head helplessly. This had nothing to do with who was at fault. This was how war was. Families were torn apart, countries were destroyed, and people were killed. The ones who suffered were the most helpless soldiers.
"Sect Leader Xiao …" After a long time, Guo Zhuyue came to the side of Xiao Yin and Lin Yun with a sorrowful expression.
"How many?" Xiao Yin couldn't bear to ask this question. Just now, she had asked Guo Zhuyue to count the number of people who had died.
"A total of sixty-nine thousand two hundred and eleven disciples." Guo Zhuyue's face was pale. In this battle, his Moon Chasing Sect had lost the most disciples. None of them were cowards, or rather, none of those who died were cowards.
On the battlefield, they didn't take a step back even when facing an enemy that was twice their number. This was because they knew that behind the checkpoint was the home that they relied on for survival. There were still their relatives, friends, and lovers there.
"Bury all the disciples who died. Burn the dead members of the Assassination Society on the spot. Also, take out a portion of the funds and distribute it to the families of the deceased disciples. Treat them well." Lin Yun took out a storage ring and handed it to Guo Zhuyue.
There was a large amount of Primordial Stones in the ring. To him, it was useless. However, to the families of the deceased, it was a form of compensation. Although it wasn't enough to make up for the pain of losing their loved ones, it was better than nothing.
Lin Yun didn't wait for Guo Zhuyue's reply. With a leap, he landed on the cliff. Looking at the retreating Assassination Society's army and their camp, he fell into deep thought.
"Sect Master Xiao … This …" Guo Zhuyue looked at the storage ring in his hand. He had just taken a look at the Primordial Stones in the storage ring and was shocked. The Primordial Stones in the storage ring were almost the lifetime savings of a clan. Yet, Lin Yun took them out just like that?
Xiao Yin smiled and waved her hand. "It's alright. Just listen to Lin Yun's arrangements and distribute them to these families." After saying that, Xiao Yin looked around, only to realize that someone was missing. "Where's Chu Liuyun?"
"Sect Master Chu seems to be a little dissatisfied with the Tianxuan Clan in front of Sect Master Xiao Yin. I was afraid that he would disrupt the morale of the army, so I asked him to take the disciples of the Tianxuan Clan to investigate the surrounding situation," Guo Zhuyue explained.
"The Assassination Society sent out 5,000 people to attack Tianxuan City. If we hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid that the rear would have already fallen into the enemy's camp." Xiao Yin sighed and explained, "Now that we're facing a formidable enemy, we shouldn't have any internal strife. Don't bring it up now. Just pretend that it never happened."
"Yes!" Guo Zhuyue responded and then left.
Xiao Yin looked up at Lin Yun's figure on the cliff and jumped up, coming to Lin Yun's side.
"Grandmaster, what should we do next?" Xiao Yin asked. After the Assassination Society retreated this time, they would attack the Tian Sha Mountain Range with their entire army.
"In this battle, the Assassination Society lost close to 120,000 people, and dozens of branch presidents died. They probably won't attack the Tian Sha Mountain Range for the time being," Lin Yun said, looking at the thin fog in front of them.
"Now, with the reinforcements that Nangong brought, excluding the troops guarding the four sides, there are only 180,000 people who can participate in the battle." Xiao Yin wrinkled her nose. In terms of numbers, it was still a lot less.
"There are less than 700,000 people left in the army of the Assassination Society. Hana Mio still has 100,000 reinforcements outside." Lin Yun said casually. Hana Mio, like Prince Namgong, had led the army to win over the surrounding soldiers.
He told Lin Yun that after he visited more than 20 forces, he finally got 100,000 soldiers. At this moment, all of them were gathered in the forest outside the Tian Sha Mountain Range and could enter the Tian Sha Mountain Range at any time.
