Although this outcome is very good news for the Immortal Realm, Lin Chen is also very happy, but he can't help feeling a sigh, Cheng Tuo, this Saint's capabilities are truly overstated!

The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and the others are formidable, but in the end, they are only Quasi-Saints, aren't they? As a Saint, you can't even handle three Quasi-Saints?

No wonder no other Saints look up to him, the gap in strength is not just a little bit!

But thinking about it the other way around, it may not be that Cheng Tuo isn't powerful enough, but that the three of Seven-colored Immortal Monarch are too powerful!

If Cheng Tuo weren't powerful, he wouldn't have killed so many troops when he hosted the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation. At that time, he crossed the space with just two hands and one foot, less than half of his body whole, Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian exhausted all their strength, and only reluctantly sealed the Teleportation Gate. They were also severely injured because of this, if it weren't for the Soul Nourishing Vessel, Duan Tian might not have been able to recover for a long time.

Thinking like this, Lin Chen felt a sense of awe, after all, as things stand now, Qingluan Immortal Monarch is the most likely to be the true mastermind behind Gu Yue's being surrounded and attacked, if I want to rescue Gu Yue, then I might have to face Qingluan Immortal Monarch in the end.

The stronger his strength is, the stronger his power is, the harder it will be to succeed.

Lin Chen returned the Jade Slip to Jiang Yunfeng and said with a smile, "It's a good thing. The previous attack on the Demon World was due to the intervention of the Little Demon Emperor, which caused such heavy losses. I've always been worried that he would intervene in the wars between the legions again. Now that the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch and the others can stop the Little Demon Emperor, we won't have to worry anymore."

Jiang Yunfeng laughed heartily, "Yes, although the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo is a half-baked Saint, he is not someone we can counter. I've had the same concerns as you before, but now the hanging worry has finally settled."

Lin Chen nodded, "In such a situation, as long as the Demon Emperor and others do not intervene in the legion wars, it will no longer be difficult for us to recover lost territory!"

Jiang Yunfeng nodded with a smile, but there was a bitter taste in his smile, "Yes, alas, it's a pity..."

Lin Chen pondered for a moment and immediately understood why Jiang Yunfeng's smile was bittersweet.

"Commander, are you reflecting on the first failure?"

Jiang Yunfeng said with a wry smile, "Yes. Although we fell into a trap that day and suffered numerous deaths and injuries, the main reason was the Devil Flame Swallowing Heaven Formation prepared by them for a long time. The Little Demon Emperor hosting the Array Formation was just icing on the cake. But looking at today's battle report, I can't help but think that if they had made a move during the first full-scale war, even if it wouldn't change the defeat, perhaps there would not have been so many casualties in our First Corps..."

Lin Chen fell silent.

Yes, if they had taken action earlier, even if it wouldn't change the outcome, it would definitely have saved many lives. But from their status, from their perspective, what does it have to do with them?

They took action now only because the Immortal Emperor spoke. If he hadn't, perhaps they would still maintain a detached attitude and not get involved with the Little Demon Emperor.

Lin Chen spoke softly to comfort, "Perhaps, they also have their difficulties. After all, their identity is special. If there were any accidents, it would likely have a great impact on the morale of everyone."

Jiang Yunfeng thought about it and nodded, "That's true. They are disciples of the Immortal Emperor, and although not Saints, they represent to some extent the Immortal Emperor's face. If they died, or were captured, it would be as if the entire Immortal Realm lost face, which would indeed have a big impact on military morale."

What Lin Chen said wasn't just comforting nonsense, but the truth.

In war between two countries, the Emperor sits securely upon the High Stage, generals lead soldiers into battle, and the result is that just at the start of the war, a prince of one side is killed or captured. That is a disaster of epic proportions.

Lin Chen changed the subject: "I see there's a request for you to return to Lion Soul Mountain, Commander?"

Jiang Yunfeng nodded: "Yes, the first wave of our offensive has achieved its goal. Next, we should be discussing the plans for the second stage of the attack. And perhaps there will be a victory celebration. Come back with me."

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment: "The Jade Slip didn't say I should return..."

"I am the Army Commander, of course, it only told me to return."

Jiang Yunfeng chuckled: "But as the Army Commander, it's reasonable for me to bring a few people back with me, right? And who I bring back is up to me, isn't it? Didn't you say earlier that you wanted to meet the three of them?"

Seeing Jiang Yunfeng say this, Lin Chen naturally stopped objecting.

He did indeed want to see the three of them. No, to be more precise, he wanted to meet Qingluan Immortal Monarch.

As he told Qi, whether they can be saved is a question for later. At the very least, he should gather more information and make more preparations. The more he knows and the better prepared he is, the greater the chances of success.

"Alright, I'll go back with you then. My wife will stay here; there shouldn't be any problems under normal circumstances."

Jiang Yunfeng was very pleased with Lin Chen's arrangement. With Lin Chen's two wives and Master Floating Cloud here, that was equivalent to having three Quasi-Saints stationed here. Unless the enemy was a group of Quasi-Saints attacking, there shouldn't be any problems.

Having agreed, Lin Chen, along with Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian, followed Jiang Yunfeng on the journey back.

30,000 li, an unimaginable distance for ordinary people, is but a short journey for Da Luo Immortals, requiring just a slight delay in time.

At this moment, everyone on Lion Soul Mountain was overjoyed, for this was the first resounding victory since the Demon Race's invasion.

Although this advancement of the battle line did not inflict significant damage on the Demon Race, it was a victory in a direct confrontation.

If we could win this time, then we can win again next time!

Moreover, the Immortal Emperor's three Direct Disciples personally took part in the battle and fought Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo to a draw. With them present, there's no longer any need to worry about Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo.

All Army Commanders of the various corps had returned. Once everyone had arrived, all the Army Commanders were invited to the Conference Room to discuss the plans for the second stage.

This was a top-level tactical planning meeting. Although Lin Chen was a Vice Corps Commander, he did not have the privilege to participate and could only wait outside.

The meeting did not last long and ended promptly. Everyone from the War God Mansion's senior management emerged from the Conference Room with smiles and appeared relaxed, suggesting the meeting went very smoothly.

Jiang Yunfeng approached Lin Chen and smiled: "The meeting is over. There will be a small victory celebration later. Well, it's nominally a victory celebration, but it's actually a welcome party. Let's go together later."

Lin Chen understood as soon as he heard. The Immortal Emperor's three Direct Disciples came and rendered great aid on the battlefield, how could they not show some gratitude?

If you say that the Immortal Emperor is the Emperor, and Shepherd Heavenly Monarch is the general, then the three Seven-colored Immortal Monarchs are like princes. With the three princes arriving, isn't a banquet to welcome them called for?

Though they are being polite, saying things like they came to help, that they are just soldiers, and that they should be treated the same as others, those are just pleasantries one should only listen to. Could you actually take them seriously?
