The war was over.
In the end, the Barbarian army failed to break through the human's defense line and kill Chen Zong. Instead, they were stopped again and again. Their fearless momentum was also hindered.
The first burst of energy was like a tiger, but the second was weak and the third was exhausted.
Under the situation of heavy casualties, the Barbarian warriors had no choice but to order a retreat and take away the bodies of the dead Barbarian warriors.
Tens of thousands of Barbarian warriors swept over. In the end, more than ten thousand of them died. This was an extremely heavy loss.
The human side did not gain any advantages. The number of casualties was also more than ten thousand.
For the first time, many people saw the cruelty of war for the first time. Looking at the corpses floating in the air like a lake, and sensing the deathly stillness in the air, their hearts sank. They did not have the excitement they had when they first heard that war was about to begin.
Those who survived were more or less injured. However, when they looked at the floating corpses around them, they secretly rejoiced that they did not become one of them.
Most people's rejoicing disappeared in an instant. Instead, it was replaced by an unparalleled heaviness.
The ten Generals were still alive, but they were injured to a certain extent. Similarly, the nine Barbarian Heroes were still alive, but they were also injured.
This war was not won, but it was not lost either.
The bodies of the dead were collected and sent back to where they came from. The living had to be treated, because they did not know when the Barbarians would attack again.
Chen Zong's heart sank. This war lasted less than a day, but more than ten thousand people died. It was extremely cruel.
As for how many merits he had gained, Chen Zong did not have the mood to check at all.
The ten generals took medicine as fast as they could. After treating their injuries, they immediately held an emergency meeting.
"Li Hanchao, look at the disciples of your Heavenly Palace. They are really outstanding." General Yunshe said in a sarcastic tone, as if he was pushing the responsibility of this war to Chen Zong.
"Whether my disciples are outstanding or not is not for you to judge." Li Hanchao naturally heard the sarcasm in General Yunshe's voice, but he replied unhurriedly.
Was the Heavenly Palace strong?
Were the disciples of the Heavenly Palace outstanding?
Was there a need for other people to confirm it?
Perhaps it was necessary, but it was definitely not something that could be led by one or two people.
At the very least, General Cloud Snake didn't have the qualifications to do so, unless he was a dominator rank expert.
"Humph, Li Hanchao, if it weren't for your Chen Zong from the Will Heavenly Palace, the Barbarians wouldn't have started a war with us, causing more than ten thousand casualties." General Yun She snorted in anger.
"Casualties are inevitable in war. The fact that the Barbarian Tribe launched a war with such great fanfare only proves Chen Zong's excellence," Li Hanchao said unhurriedly.
Of course, Chen Zong was the reason for the Barbarians to start the war, but it also showed that the Barbarians were afraid of Chen Zong. It was because of this fear that they did not hesitate to start the war. They wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible to prevent him from becoming a big threat.
In that case, were they going to force Chen Zong to bear the responsibility for the heavy casualties caused by the war?
"There's no need to argue. This battle was not Chen Zong's fault." General Zhan Long spoke directly. He was from the Eternal Battle Fort and was the strongest general here. He was the most powerful and respected general.
General Cloud Snake curled his lips but didn't say anything. In fact, he knew very well that no matter how much he said, he couldn't convict Chen Zong.
How could he convict him?
Because he was so outstanding that the Barbarians were afraid of him and didn't hesitate to launch a war to convict him?
If word got out, he would become a laughing stock.
General Cloud Snake just didn't like Li Hanchao, and Chen Zong was Li Hanchao's junior brother. That was why he said that. His purpose was to make Li Hanchao unhappy.
"General Zhan Long, why don't you get your junior brother here? I'm curious. What did he do in the Northern District?" General Zhan Long laughed.
"Yes, yes, yes." General Qingyun also laughed.
"That's right, General Zhan Long. Quickly get your junior brother here."
Apart from General Cloud Snake, the other generals all expressed their interest.
Even though the Barbarians had already told them the reason, they were still curious about the specific process.
After receiving the news, Chen Zong naturally entered the meeting hall and faced the ten generals. However, Chen Zong wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he was very calm.
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Chen Zong told them about how he sneaked into the Northern District. Of course, he omitted some information about his breakthrough and cultivation. He tried to simplify it as much as possible.
However, the ten generals weren't ordinary people. They understood a lot from just a few words.
The more they listened, the more amazed they were.
Only with a sword, he broke into the Northern District without the help of others. He even went to the inner circle and killed many Barbarian Warriors, including many Warriors with ten-star combat strength. He even killed a Barbarian Warrior.
Even though it was the power of a secret treasure, Chen Zong had the means and courage to do so.
The more General Cloud Snake looked at Chen Zong, the more he disliked him. However, the other generals were different. They looked at Chen Zong with admiration.
"Chen Zong, now that the Barbarians have regarded you as a thorn in their side, you'd better stay in the battle fortress for a while," General Zhan Long said seriously.
Earlier, Chen Zong had been attacked by human cultivators. This made the generals even more worried.
Chen Zong nodded because he planned to cultivate well in the following days to improve his strength and combat strength as much as possible.
Thus, the great purge began.
The assassination attempt on Chen Zong was the fuse that ignited the fire.
In just three days, a total of 23 human traitors were found. Some of them realized that something was wrong and planned to escape, but they were intercepted and captured alive.
However, most of them weren't discovered. They were either gone or hidden too deeply and couldn't be detected.
All in all, the great purge had come to an end for the time being. However, investigations were still ongoing in secret.
News about Chen Zong was also brought up by many battle teams and cultivators.
In the room, Chen Zong was cultivating when someone knocked on the door.
Yang Tianxing, the leader of the Sky Walking Battle Team, came to visit.
Just as Yang Tianxing entered, Li Tianbeng, the leader of the Sky Walking Battle Team, also came to visit.
"Li Tianbeng, first come, first served," Yang Tianxing said coldly with a dark face.
Both of them came for the same purpose, which was to recruit Chen Zong into their battle team.
In the previous battle, Chen Zong had proven his amazing combat strength and ability. He was invincible among those with ten-star combat strength. He even killed an eleven-star Barbarian Warrior, which was a miracle.
With such combat strength and talent, he had a bright future ahead of him. They must recruit him as soon as possible.
Before Chen Zong could express his opinion, the two captains of the Sky Traversing Battle Team and the Heaven Crushing Battle Team had already started arguing. They were at daggers drawn, and it looked as if they were about to come to blows. This made Chen Zong speechless.
"Thank you both …" Just as Chen Zong was about to speak, someone knocked on the door again. This time, it was a little forceful.
As soon as they opened the door, Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng both frowned. It was one of the three eleven-star Warriors of the Sky Walking Battle Team.
"Lie Guang, what are you doing here?" Li Tianbeng asked cautiously.
"I'm here to do whatever you're here to do." Lie Guang smiled slightly and said with a hint of provocation.
Li Tianbeng and Yang Tianxing moved in a flash and blocked Lie Guang's line of sight.
They were both very alert because the other party was from the Sky Walking Battle Team.
The Sky Walking Battle Team was the number one battle team in battle zone number nine. They were the strongest battle team. They had three eleven-star Warriors, and their captain, the Sky Walking Battle Team, was the strongest. He was known as the number one in the Path Controlling Realm.
The other two eleven-star Warriors were also very strong. Lie Guang's combat strength was not inferior to Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng.
"Chen Zong, I'm here on the captain's orders to inform you that you've passed the test that you applied for. From now on, you're a member of the Sky Walking Battle Team." Lie Guang's gaze seemed to penetrate Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng as he spoke to Chen Zong. Then, Lie Guang swung his arm, and a stream of light flew past Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng towards Chen Zong.
Chen Zong caught it and saw that it was a badge. It was the badge of the Sky Walking Battle Team.
"Remember, our Sky Walking Battle Team has strict rules. You're not allowed to act without permission. Even if you want to act alone, you have to apply and report it. You can only do so after it's approved. Otherwise, you'll be expelled," Lie Guang continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light flashed and flew over. Lie Guang grabbed it and frowned. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Chen Zong, what's the meaning of this?" Lie Guang's tone was filled with displeasure.
"I have no intention of joining the Sky Walking Battle Team." Chen Zong walked out from behind Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng. He looked calm and unhurried. "Also, I've never submitted an application to the Sky Walking Battle Team. So, don't flatter yourself."
Hearing Chen Zong's words, Lie Guang's eyes suddenly shone with a shocking coldness. A terrifying aura suddenly spread out from his body. It was like a monstrous rage, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng also released a powerful aura to block Lie Guang's aura.
"Go back and tell Sky Walking Battle Team that I'll remember that slap." Chen Zong didn't seem to feel the pressure at all. He stared at Lie Guang and said calmly. However, there was a hint of sharpness in his words.
"You have made the wrong choice," Lie Guang said to Chen Zong with a cold smile. Lie Guang suppressed his anger and sneered.
In this place, he couldn't attack no matter what. Moreover, he couldn't teach Chen Zong a lesson even if he wanted to because Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng were present.
The two of them were very strong and weren't inferior to him at all. If he really attacked, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Chen Zong. On the contrary, he might not be able to gain any advantage and end up in a sorry state.
After giving a warning, Lie Guang turned around and left in anger.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have no intention of joining the Battle Team," Chen Zong said to Yang Tianxing and Li Tianbeng seriously.
Acting alone might be more dangerous, but it was also more freedom. It was more suitable for one's style and habits.
