682: Race against time

Wan Fei laughed, "Their Grand Elder, Zhen Sheng, is still in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Half-Step Dao Above level."

"Under such circumstances, if he were to be disturbed, he might not only fail in his breakthrough but also suffer some injuries."

"Therefore, Xu Shan Cang and the others dare not delay. If they dared to delay, Elder Tianheng and the other elders would create a huge commotion to try and disturb Zhen Sheng's seclusion."

Explaining up to this point, he looked at Lin Yang and smiled, "This is also part of Elder Tianheng's plan: to use the fact that Zhen Sheng is still in seclusion to make it easier to pressure Chu Country."

"Otherwise, if it were during normal times and they dragged it out, things would naturally be difficult to handle."

"So now, they either back down and call back the people they dispatched to Endless Spacetime, or they all go to Endless Spacetime and make it the main battlefield!"

Lin Yang immediately understood, "So that's how it is. This time, I truly must thank you."

"No need to be polite," Wan Fei waved his hand, "Now, let's just wait for the news."

Lin Yang nodded, no longer speaking much, constantly paying attention to the latest developments from Chu Country.

At the same moment, the powerhouses of the entire High-Level Spacetime were also paying attention to the situation in Chu Country.

And they were all greatly shocked.

Lanlou Country, for the sake of Lin Yang, had indeed confronted Chu Country head-on!

At that time, Chu Country went to Lanlou Country to demand someone, and now Lanlou Country had retaliated by attacking Chu Country.

This was truly exciting!

After all, this was a showdown between two super forces!

"A single Lin Yang has actually stirred up two great super countries to fight all the way to each other's royal capitals. To live a life like this, it's simply too amazing!"

Someone sighed... In Chu Country's royal capital.

Elder Tianheng, along with Second Elder Yan Hao, Third Elder Xia Houcheng, and Fourth Elder Han Haiming, stood in mid-air above the royal capital.

A vast aura and pressure permeated the area.

Just like when Xu Shan Cang and others went to the royal capital of Lanlou Country at that time.

Inside the royal capital, Xu Shan Cang and the others' expressions were extremely grim.

Clearly, they themselves had not expected Lanlou Country to go to such lengths for Lin Yang!

Directly attacking their doorstep!

"Xu Shan Cang, the situation is very unfavorable for us right now!"

Chu Country's Third Elder Suo Gu was having a headache at this moment.

Thunder was severely injured and still recovering.

Fourth Elder Yi Mi and Fifth Elder Xiang Yuning had gone to Endless Spacetime.

Now, only he and Xu Shan Cang were stationed in the royal capital.

Although there was also the power of the Formation Array guarding it, they could completely disregard Tianheng and the others.

However, Grand Elder Zhen Sheng was still in seclusion and could not tolerate the slightest disturbance!

The current situation was very unfavorable for them.

Xu Shan Cang, with a somber face, let out a low roar, "If Grand Elder can successfully break through, we will wipe out Lanlou Country sooner or later!"

He was very angry.

He also felt extremely wronged.

When had the dignified Chu Country ever suffered such a great humiliation!

Not only had their supreme Dao Weapon been stolen and an elder injured.

Now they were even being blocked above their royal capital!

This made Xu Shan Cang almost explode with rage.

"All of this is because of that little bastard Lin Yang. Kill him, we must kill him to vent our hatred!"

Xu Shan Cang cursed repeatedly, already reaching the peak of his anger.

Suo Gu's eyes also showed rising killing intent, "Killing him is definitely a must, but the most important thing right now is not to disturb Grand Elder's seclusion!"

Xu Shan Cang looked at him, "Then you mean? To temporarily cease operations?"

Suo Gu nodded, "At present, that's the only way. Lanlou Country is determined to protect that little fellow. Now, either we all go to Endless Spacetime together, or we can only cease operations."

"But even if we go to Endless Spacetime together, Tianheng and the others can still follow, still tie us down, and allow Lin Yang to cultivate in peace."

"Anyway, no matter what we do, fighting back and forth won't affect that little fellow Lin Yang, so temporarily stopping now is the best option."

Xu Shan Cang was still a bit unwilling, "To stop like this would be too easy for that little fellow and Lanlou Country, and it would make people laugh at our Chu Country!"

Suo Gu's expression was solemn, "Let's prioritize Grand Elder's seclusion. As long as Grand Elder can successfully break through, our Chu Country will then have two Half-Step Dao Above existences, and destroying Lanlou Country will be a matter of minutes!"

Currently, both Chu Country and Lanlou Country only had their respective country lords at the Half-Step Dao Above level, mutually restricting and balancing each other, unable to harm one another, and they were also suspected of not being in High-Level Spacetime for many years.

Once Zhen Sheng could break through, it would be different.

They could completely suppress Lanlou Country.

It could be said that nothing was more important than Zhen Sheng's seclusion right now.

Xu Shan Cang also understood this principle, and despite the knot in his heart, he still let out a long breath and nodded, saying:

"Then let's stop for now, call everyone back, and the day Grand Elder breaks through will be the day we destroy Lanlou Country!"

"Good!" Suo Gu was relieved to see Xu Shan Cang agree.

He was actually a little worried that Xu Shan Cang would clash with Tianheng and the others just to vent his anger.

Soon, Chu Country recalled its personnel from Endless Spacetime.

Tianheng and the others looked at Chu Country's royal capital, all feeling a bit regretful: "What a pity, Xu Shan Cang and the others endured this. Otherwise..."

After speaking, the several people all returned to Lanlou Country.

Seeing this, everyone in High-Level Spacetime also inexplicably felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts.

After all, everyone was truly looking forward to the two great super countries completely breaking out into war.

Now that Chu Country had yielded and taken a step back, many people felt it was a shame.

"The fact that Chu Country could endure this shows that the Grand Elder's chances of breaking through in seclusion are extremely high. Chu Country will definitely not swallow this insult. If they didn't fight today, next time, it will probably be a life-and-death battle between the two countries."

Some people also made conjectures based on some intelligence.

Chu Country's style of action was known for its dominance. To suffer such a great loss and still endure it could only mean that there was a more important matter that could not be affected!

Inside Lanlou Country, in Lin Yang's private residence.

Tianheng and the others had returned, including Elder Bai Guan Hong, but a Dao Tribulation Realm expert was still left in Endless Spacetime just in case.

Lin Yang solemnly thanked the several people, then said, "Chu Country's forbearance this time is entirely because of Zhen Sheng. If he breaks through, I'm afraid a full-scale war will break out. At that time..."

He was somewhat at a loss for words.

If Lanlou Country were to suffer harm because of him, he would truly feel uneasy.

Tianheng and the others exchanged glances, understood his thoughts, and immediately burst into laughter:

"Don't worry, since we have already acted, we have considered all the consequences. That Zhen Sheng has been in seclusion for so many years; if he could have broken through, he would have done so long ago."

"Moreover, even if he breaks through, it's still far from enough to destroy our Lanlou Country!"

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, you shouldn't overthink things. Right now, nothing is more important than your cultivation."

"Your cultivation speed is so fast; perhaps you will become Half-Step Dao Above even before Zhen Sheng. At that time, won't you have nothing to worry about?"

Lin Yang sighed.

Reaching Half-Step Dao Above was not that simple!

If he had a complete Dao Mark fragment, perhaps he could give it a try.

But without it, it would be very difficult.

However, Tianheng had already spoken to this extent. Lanlou Country had used its collective strength to help him gain the opportunity to cultivate in peace. What he needed to do now was to cherish this opportunity.

Subsequently, Lin Yang went into seclusion again.

Now, it was a matter of who between him and Zhen Sheng could take that step first.

Even if he couldn't reach Half-Step Dao Above, as long as he advanced a small step further, he could completely tie down Xu Shan Cang and the others by himself, which would greatly reduce the pressure on Lanlou Country.

Lin Yang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This time, it was a race against time.

But soon, he adjusted his mindset and continued to comprehend the incomplete Dao Mark fragments.

Time passed bit by bit.

One day, Lin Yang's expression suddenly changed, and he took out a communication jade slip.

On it, there was a message.

And the sender was actually Mo Mian. (End of Chapter)
