Chapter 449: Chapter 322 The Outcome of War_1

Chen Mobai estimated the time and felt that the battle between the Core Formation elders should have had a result, so he left the barren mountains.

Rolling Thunder Mountain’s Spirit Vein was polluted and there were no longer any cultivators.

Chen Mobai had no intention of heading to Rock Country. The most urgent matter was to find out the result of the battle between the two sects.

After thinking for a moment, he headed towards a local Fang market in Lei Nation.

However, just as he began to fly into the sky, a message talisman flew towards Chen Mobai.

Upon looking at it, he couldn’t help but show a relieved expression.

It was sent by Yue Zutao. Though Rolling Thunder Mountain was broken, Fu Zongjue managed to save most of the people from the Divine Wood Sect.

They were now recuperating in the Luyang Mountain Market closest to Rolling Thunder Mountain. Chu Zuoshu had taken the severely injured sect disciples back to Giant Tree Ridge and left Yue Zutao in charge of gathering the scattered survivors of the war.

Chen Mobai had his sect nameplate with him and happened to be within the range of the message talisman, so he received Yue Zutao’s message intended for all the missing Foundation Establishment cultivators.

He immediately drove the “Red Misty Cloud Silk” towards Luyang Mountain Market.

“Brother Chen, it’s great that you’re safe.”

Yue Zutao was personally waiting at the entrance of the market. Seeing Chen Mobai unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“What’s the outcome of the battle among the higher-ups?”

Chen Mobai followed Yue Zutao into a Divine Wood Sect store in the market. The two sat in the topmost loft, and after exchanging some pleasantries, he directly asked the most critical question.

If the two Core Formation elders were defeated, their Divine Wood Sect would likely return to the Five Elements sect.

“With Elder Zhou and Elder Mo of the Golden Cliff making their moves, even if Ji Zhenshi broke through to the late stage of Core Formation, he would still meet a dead end. However, when Ji Zhenshi was about to die, Kong Lingling of Snow-blowing Palace and Yan Shaoyin of Back to Sky Valley proposed reconciliation. In addition, Nan Shidao hurried over too, leaving the two elders no choice but to spare his life.”

In other words, all the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, except the Five Elements Sect, became involved in this war.

Although it was expected, both Back to Sky Valley and Snow-blowing Palace used to rely on Mountain Shaker Peak of Liu Jia Mountain to survive in the Eastern Wilderness.

The Core Formation elders were well aware of the phrase ‘When the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold.’

If the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff joined forces to destroy the Shake Mountain and kill Ji Zhenshi today, their two sects might also meet the same fate tomorrow.

Hence, no matter how unwilling they were, Snow-blowing Palace and Back to Sky Valley had to intervene and at least save Ji Zhenshi’s life.

But there seemed to be something missing in all of this.

After discussing with Yue Zutao, both of them found the war very strange. Although Meng Hong, the sect leader, and the two elders could clearly see the signs of provocation, they still initiated the war, even involving all the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness except the Five Elements Sect.

It seemed as if they were deliberately stirring things up, trying to change the layout of the Eastern Wilderness.

“Why hasn’t the Five Elements Sect made a move?”

Yue Zutao figured out the crux of the matter, and Chen Mobai nodded slightly.

Theoretically, if the Five Elements Sect were to cooperate with the other sects, they could potentially reabsorb the separate Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff, but they showed no signs of intervention.

They allowed the Divine Wood Sect and Golden Cliff to join forces and again pressured the other four major sects to unite.

“Doesn’t Master Chu know?”

Chen Mobai asked again. Chu Zuoshu, as the next sect leader, was already the highest-ranking person under the two elders. He was also the chief commander in this attack on Mountain Shaker Peak. If he didn’t know anything, he would definitely not be so enthusiastic.

“Master said that the Sect Leader wanted to clear things inside and outside the sect before his retirement, so as to leave Master an easier control of the three halls and twelve branches. The war against Shake Mountain was roughly planned last year, and after the Spirit Stone Mine started to lose money, the Sect Leader took advantage of the situation and planned to use this as an excuse to attack Rock Country.”

Yue Zutao hesitated for a moment, but felt that Chen Mobai was trustworthy, and then revealed what he knew to him.

“What about Brother Yuan and Fu?

“The Sect Leader just wanted them to casually investigate, but who would have expected them to discover a mysterious force behind Gong Wanshan and Zheng Wulyu, after which things got a bit out of control.”

“Apart from the seven major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, are there any other forces?”

“The various chambers of commerce, and the grand leaders of areas outside the Eastern Wilderness, even the Five Elements Sect has to tread lightly.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai did not ask any more questions. At least their Sect elders had won, which was the best news.

“Brother Weng, Brother Xi, have they responded?”

Of the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators who occupied the Spirit Stone Mine, to avoid being pursued by the army of Shake Mountain, they all fled in different directions.

Chen Mobai had fought Ji Dingjin and bought them some time, but even so, their chances of survival were slim.

“Elder Brother Wang’s corpse was found at the border between Rock Country and Lei Nation. He seems to have been caught up with by the army, and there has been no news from the others. You are the first to respond to the message talisman.”

When Yue Zutao said this, his expression was gloomy.

Although the Divine Wood Sect had triumphed in this war, their losses were severe, with eleven Foundation Establishment cultivators dead.
