When Lin Xuan returned to the battlefield, the battle between the Magic Lotus Sect and the Jin Hua Army had already ended. Corpses and broken swords were strewn all over the forest. The air was filled with a thick stench of blood that could not be blown away by the wind.
Out of the thirty thousand Jin Hua Army soldiers, more than ten thousand of them had been wiped out. The rest had all knelt down and surrendered, becoming captives of the Magic Lotus Sect.
The Magic Lotus Sect had also lost more than a thousand people.
Lin Xuan stood on a high ground and looked down at the large army kneeling on the ground. His eyes were deep and his thoughts were inexplicable.
"My lord, what should we do with these captives?" Yan Hui asked respectfully.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Let them all join my sect. From now on, they will be the Guardian Army of the Magic Lotus Sect. Take this military seal and let the Jin Hua Army maintain their combat power. "
As he spoke, he threw the military seal that he had taken from Li Yanfeng to Yan Hui.
This was the Jin Hua Army's seal. It was a supreme-grade Dark Artifact. There was only one of it in the entire Jin Hua Army.
It could be said that if they lost this seal, the overall combat power of the Jin Hua Army would drop by more than half.
However, Lin Xuan was now a criminal of the imperial court. Naturally, he would not return the seal to the Jin Hua Army in Wanhua City. It was just right to give it to the captives.
Yan Hui took the military seal, bowed, and left.
At this moment, Jing Lan hesitated and frowned. "Lin Xuan, what do you need so many low-grade soldiers for? We are now wanted by the imperial court. If we bring them along, it will be easier for us to become their target.
And those Magic Lotus Sect members, other than the seven to eight hundred God Astral Realm experts, the rest are useless. They will be a burden to us.
In my opinion, it would be better to let them break up into smaller groups and retreat into the shadows to develop in silence.
With our strength, we can live freely in the Northern Wilderness. It will also be easier for us to avoid the enemy's pursuit. "
In fact, although she had always admired Lin Xuan's methods and strength, she did not approve of Lin Xuan's actions.
In her opinion, martial artists should focus on cultivation. Instead of diverting their energy to expand their forces, it was better to focus on improving their own cultivation. So long as he was sufficiently strong, then even if he was facing a vast army, he would still be able to come and go freely in the heavens and the earth.
When Lin Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "Jing Lan, the freedom you speak of, how is it different from a stray dog? Don't tell me you haven't had enough of those days of wandering and living in fear half a year ago? "
He could understand Jing Lan's thoughts, but he could not agree with them.
This was a world of martial arts. If an individual's strength was strong enough, they would be able to stand above thousands of soldiers and horses, dictating the life and death of countless people.
However, in order to grow strong enough, how could one or two years be enough to achieve that?
Even those old monsters who had cultivated for hundreds of years dared to call themselves truly free and unfettered?
Jing Lan frowned and said in annoyance, "But how are we different from stray dogs now?"
"Of course we're different."
Dun Fei smiled and pointed at the tens of thousands of soldiers below. "With these people, we can plunder resources, rule the land, and gradually expand our territory and territory! With our current forces, it won't be difficult to occupy a place in the Northern Barren Territory in the future. This is much better than being a stray dog. "
Jing Lan's eyes flashed, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
Lin Xuan drank a mouthful of wine, smiled, and said proudly, "That's not all.
Now that the Daqian Dynasty is weak, the world is in chaos, and we've been invaded by the Outsiders. It can be said to be a precarious situation. This is the best time for us to transform.
If our ambition is bigger, we can swallow the entire Northern Barren Territory, resist the Outsiders in the north, and resist the Daqian Dynasty in the south. We can gather the destiny of the entire Northern Barren Territory for our own use, and use the resources of the entire Northern Barren Territory to support us. Think about it, what can we achieve in the future? "
"Hmm?"
Jing Lan and Dun Fei heard this and couldn't help but be stunned. They looked at Lin Xuan in shock.
Even Dun Fei didn't expect that Lin Xuan would be so ambitious.
However, wasn't it a little whimsical to want to swallow the entire Northern Barren Territory and fight against the Daqian Dynasty with just a group of Divine Astral Realm martial artists?
If it was within ten years of the Human Emperor's Tablet's appearance, there might be a glimmer of hope. But what about after ten years?
After ten years, some Heavenly Transformation Realm martial artists and even Divinity Realm martial artists would return to the Northern Barren Territory.
At that time, no matter how developed the Magic Lotus Sect was, it would be just a flash in the pan.
Lin Xuan smiled and didn't say anything.
It had only been slightly more than a year since his debut, and he had already reached such a level. What kind of level would he reach in ten years?
If he didn't even have this bit of confidence, wouldn't he be letting down his incredible martial arts luck?
Under Lin Xuan's orders, Yan Hui took the 18,000 captives of the Jinhua Army into the Magic Lotus Sect and made everyone leave their soul seals in the copies of the golden book. From then on, they would become the loyal Guardian Army of the Magic Lotus Sect.
After all this was done, the sky gradually brightened, and a trace of white appeared in the eastern sky.
"Sect Master! The Tianding Army has appeared 20 miles away! "Jing Wushang reported.
Lin Xuan raised his eyes to look at the eastern sky, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he ordered, "Gather everyone and enter the Devil Lotus Seal Space!"
"Yes!"
Jing Wushang took the order and left.
Dun Fei asked in confusion, "Lin Xuan, are you going to …"
"There's no need for us to fight with the Tianding City now. Our top priority is to take down the Heaven Song City and get a place to settle down!" Lin Xuan said calmly.
He understood that Yang Tianding and Mo Xiaoyao didn't make a move previously because they weren't confident in taking him down. Now, they led the Tianding Army to pressure him because they had strong reinforcements.
Even though he was 20 miles away, he could still clearly see the huge chessboard martial arts fate in the eastern sky.
That was Maki Cangsheng's martial arts fate!
Lin Xuan knew that they wouldn't have the upper hand if they fought with the Tianding Army at this time, and there was no need to do so.
Moreover, this place was less than 150 miles away from the Scarlet Sky Mountain. In order to avoid alerting the Blood Dragon Tribe, it was better to march secretly.
Then, he opened the Magic Lotus Seal Space, and the 9,000 members of the Magic Lotus Sect and the 18,000 members of the Guardian Army entered.
After a while, this huge army disappeared. Even Mu Jianfeng, Jing Lan, and the others entered the Magic Lotus Seal Space.
Only Lin Xuan was left.
Lin Xuan climbed to the top of a small mountain and looked at the Tianding Army in the distance. He smiled playfully.
"Maki Cangsheng, don't worry. I have time to play with you."
He waved his hand and released a Snow Leopard War Horse from the space. He jumped on it and quickly galloped down the small mountain towards the northwest. Soon, he disappeared into the lush forest.
At the same time, in the marching Tianding Army, Yang Tianding, Mo Xiaoyao, and Maki Cangsheng rode side by side. The three of them looked dignified, refined, and powerful. They were like cranes in a flock of chickens among the thousands of soldiers.
Maki Cangsheng glanced at Mo Xiaoyao, smiled deeply, and said, "Brother Mo, I'm a little curious. As a member of the Demon Abyss, why are you so enthusiastic about killing Lin Xuan? Lin Xuan has been promoted to the Magic Lotus Sect Sect Master. During this period of time, he has run the Magic Lotus Sect very well. In just a few months, he has restored some vitality of the Magic Lotus Sect. He should be a good candidate for the Demon Abyss, right? "
Mo Xiaoyao smiled lightly, "No matter how powerful a dog is, if it is not loyal to its master, it is not a good dog. Its fate is to be slaughtered and eaten by its master."
"Oh?"
