Chapter 1370: Retreating to a Single Prefecture


    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    Right now, within the Thousand Transformations Sect, in the emperor pce, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and many experts including Bai Wuya were there.


    "The Thunder Prefecture and Yan Prefecture have already fallen into the control of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This time around, they directlyunched an attack at the Yue Prefecture. Once the Yue Prefecture falls to them, our Cloud Prefecture would instantly be surrounded by enemies on all side. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect willunch waves of attacks in a curved direction, advancing their troops from all directions. They would then start to build teleportation arrays to connect the prefectures, able to appear anywhere in the area within their control instantly.


    The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord calmly spoke to everyone. The expressions of the experts here were all extremely heavy. Clearly, they knew how serious the current situation was.


    Out of the six prefectures in control by the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, only three remained.


    Emperor-ranked experts couldn’t act ording to the silent agreement and the war was carried out by immortal kings. But on this level, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was at a clear disadvantage and was constantly forced to retreat. Right now, they were forced into this situation, to a path of no retreat.


    If they continued to retreat, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would then attack their headquarters - the Cloud Prefecture.


    "To think that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would be so ruthless, secretly mobilizing their troops to the Yue Prefecture. Also, ording to our intel, their army doesn’t simply only contain experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect." Someone spoke coldly as his expression turned grim.


    "I know, we were tricked but since we are in an immortal war, we should have expected such a situation. We can only me ourselves for not being strong enough." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord sighed. "In addition, to think that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect wanted tounch the final war so soon. They want to swallow us up in a single gulp."


    As the immortal war erupted, each battle was nned cohesively in an organized manner but the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect suddenly mobilized such arge amount of soldiers in the Yue Prefecture and before they could react, the Eastern Sage Army already broke past the defenses of the Yue Prefecture and ughtered many of their immortal kings there. Even the prefecture lord, an extremely powerful peak-level immortal king, was also heavily injured. They understood the meaning behind this, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect didn’t intend to fight a long protracted war, they wanted to end things fast.


    "Emperor Lord, what should we do now?" Someone asked. After that, the gazes of everyone turned to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. Everyone was clear about the intents of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. In that case, what they had to do next, is find a way on how to deal with it.


    "What ideas do you have?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nced at Bai Wuya beside him as he asked.


    "We will give up the Yue Prefecture and mobilize the remaining troops to return to the immortal sect." Bai Wuya spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, the eyes of everyone gleamed with sharpness.


    "What do you mean?" The Emperor Lord continued to ask.


    Bai Wuya nodded lightly, "We should get our troops in the Supreme Yin and Western Desert Prefectures to return as well, using the entirety of our strength to guard a single ce - the Cloud Prefecture. Since the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect wants a decisive war, let that location be set in Cloud Prefecture then.


    The Cloud Prefecture was the headquarters of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. By moving all their strength back and concentrating on a single location, their might would naturally be greater and reinforcements would be much more convenient.


    The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nced at Bai Wuya. He contemted for a while before nodding and made arrangements ording to the n. Initially, they nned to sap away the strength of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect bit by bit, but Qin Wentian’s fast growth speed, as well as the result of the adjudication battle, had influenced the entire situation to change. After that, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect began to ferociously advance, wanting to seize back the prefectures by force, in order to return to their former glory.


    Bai Wuya wanted to withdraw all their troops and consolidate it within a single prefecture. Without a doubt, this meant that they would give up and abandon the other five prefectures, and guard only the Cloud Prefecture, hoping to rise again from the dead.


    The expressions of everyone turned heavy. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nced at Bai Wuya and spoke, "Your words have logic to them. Since the Yue Prefecture is so unstable, if we don’t withdraw the forces now, our losses would only be more tragic. Right now, we can only depend on thest decisive battle. Since that’s the case, I would have to trouble you."


    Bai Wuya nodded. He naturally understood what the words ’trouble you,’ means.


    The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect started to withdraw their troops from the Yue, Supreme Yin and the Western Desert Prefectures. For a period of time, the situation was extremely chaotic. Back then the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord took the control rights for six prefectures away and now, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was unleashing their fury, wanting to wipe out the forces of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sectpletely.


    The other major powers in the east were paying attention to this war too. All emperor-ranked powers understood that the implications weren’t simply between the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. This war would affect the situation in the entire eastern regions.


    For the observers, one would say that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect possessed an overwhelming advantage, they would be able to destroy the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect for sure.


    Some of the top-tier experts silently snuck away from the Cloud Prefecture as the Eastern Sage Amry closed in. The Cloud Prefecture was affected by the mes of war, but now, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect didn’t choose to directlyunch an attack at the capital. They were slowly encroaching on the external areas, before advancing in steadily. The people of the Cloud Prefecture were filled with panic, everyone in the prefecture knew what sort of situation the Cloud Prefecture was facing.


    This time around, Qin Wentian didn’t head to the Southern Phoenix n on his way back. He just borrowed the teleportation array in the phoenix city and came back. On his way to the sect, he heard many rumors about the war. He didn’t expect that in the short time when he was away, such a huge change actually appeared.


    Upon sensing the seriousness of the situation, Qin Wentian’s mood turned heavy. Many of his kin and friends were out tempering themselves in the Cloud Prefecture. If a war truly erupts here, nobody would be able to predict what might happen. Seems like, the best n was to send them away.


    After all, his foster father Qin Chuan, Ye Qingyun, Medicine Sovereign and the battle Sword Sect, their cultivation bases weren’t high enough to participate in a battle of this scale. Once the aftershocks of battles came in contact with them, they might all die just like that.


    Qin Wentian brought the members of the Battle Saint Tribe and returned silently to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Since the experts of the tribe came here following Qin Wentian, the people of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect naturally wouldn’t probe too much.


    After making arrangements for the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe, Qin Wentian went to the residence where Qin Chuan and Qin Yao stayed. He discovered that during this period of them when he left, Qin Chuan, Ye Qingyun and the others have all returned. Evidently, they could sense the situation of the Cloud Prefecture and had all decided to rush back to the immortal sect.


    "Foster fathers, sister, I just wanted to look for you all. It’s good that you all are back." Qin Wentian walked over.


    "Wentian, is a war breaking out soon?" Qin Yao asked. During these days, the people of the thirteen prefectures were all discussing this matter. This was the reason why they rushed back.


    "I think so. I will go pay a visit to Emperor Lordter. If the situation is really bad, I will send someone to escort you all back to our particle world." Qin Wentian spoke. If a war truly erupted, he definitely has to send his kin away in case they die from the aftershocks.


    "How can we hide away? Wentian, we will face it together with you." Qin Chuan spoke.


    "Foster father, you guys are different from me. The aftershocks of battles between experts can be extremely terrifying, able to kill those who are at a lower level effortlessly. I naturally hope for us to be victorious in the war but nobody can predict the ending." Qin Wentian persuaded, his words causing Qin Chuan to furrow his brows. Indeed, he had heard all sorts of news when he was outside. Everyone felt that the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was finished, and the thirteen prefectures would be unified under the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect once more.


    The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect now was decisively mobilizing their forces, and intended to win with a single swoop. Now, countless people in the thirteen prefecture believed that the situation is already set. In fact, the majority of major powers in the Eastern Regions all felt this way too.


    "Wait for me here." Qin Wentian’s silhouette shed as he disappeared, moving towards the emperor pce. After some time, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord sensed his arrival, he stared at Qin Wentian and smiled, "You’ve broken through."


    "Emperor Lord." Qin Wentian nodded.


    "Entering the immortal king realm so fast, awesome." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord praised. "Are you here because you want to know the countermeasure for dealing with this situation?"


    "Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded.


    "Under the onught of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, we are nning to withdraw our forces from the remaining prefectures to the Cloud Prefecture, concentrating our strength in a single ce, forcing the decisive battle here. Right now, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect is still continuing to send in their troops." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke.


    "Understood." Qin Wentiaan nodded. The two of them conversed for a little more before Qin Wentian left. After that, arrangements were made, the majority of his kin and friends who came from the particle world, were all sent back.


    "Wentian, Qingcheng isn’t back yet." The Medicine Sovereign spoke to Qin Wentian.


    "I know where Qingcheng is cultivating, most likely, she wouldn’t be affected by the aftershocks of this war. I will quietly pay her a visit. Senior Medicine Sovereign, you guys should temporarily return back to our particle world for now. I will get someone to escort you all back. After the situation stabilizes, you all cane to the immortal realms again if you all want to." Qin Wentian spoke.


    "Mhm." The Medicine Sovereign nodded.


    "It’s too boring there. If I return, wouldn’t I proim myself as the king and lord over there?" Fatty Fan Le spoke in a depressed voice.


    "Isn’t that what you always wanted?" Qin Wentian rolled his eyes.


    "Ai, at that time, it wouldn’t be too good to have countless beauties frolicking around me." Fatty shamelessly spoke. Xuan Xin who was by the side was ring at him ruthlessly as she spoke, "Why don’t you just try it and see?"


    "It has been so many years since I brought you guys here, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect should have stopped observing our world. Isn’t it good to go back to our hometown for a visit?" Qin Wentian smiled. The Medicine Sovereign and the others nodded. Their particle world might be weak but it was the ce where they had grown up in after all.


    "Qi Yuan, I would have to trouble you guys to escort them back." Qin Wentian nced at the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe. He nned to secretly send his kin and friends away, in case the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect started paying attention to his particle world again.


    Qi Yuan and the others nodded. The group of them rode on divine weapons, and disappeared into the horizons after waving goodbye to Qin Wentian.


    "Qi Yu, follow me." Qin Wentian nced at another expert from the Battle Saint Tribe beside him. Qi Yu was one of the three strongest immortal kings of the tribe and now, given the chaotic situation, although he has always kept a low-profile, it would still be better to get Qi Yu to escort him. In this case, even if he encountered danger, he would be able to resolve it easily. Unless of course, he encountered an enemy immortal emperor.


    "Sure." Qi Yu had the look of a middle-aged man, he was quiet and steady, as he nodded in response.


    "Let’s go." Qin Wentian soared through the air. The Emperor Lord told him that although the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was mobilizing their troops, they were still preparing. The final decisive battle wouldn’t erupt so fast.


    Hence, Qin Wentian nned to use this window of time to pay a visit to Qingcheng.
