Chapter 241

According to Chen's Jade tile, he has to return to Phoenix Cry.
"Wan-er, I have to leave for a while. I'm putting you in charge temporarily." Long Chen put away the map and gave Tang Wan-er the jade tile.
That jade tile was called a transmission tile, and it was used to pass along information. The runes inside were able to transmit information through spiritual fluctuations.
Long Chen had just seen that the diagram of which large sects were protecting which areas had come out. He had seen the Bloodnet Sect's name.
He remembered that name. The Bloodnet Sect had tried to devour the spirit stone mine underneath the Phoenix Cry capital all for themselves. But in the end, they had failed.
From the diagram, he had seen that the Bloodnet Sect was in charge of defending the Jialuo Mountain Range, a perimeter of four hundred miles.
That was only three thousand miles from the capital and was considered the border of the Phoenix Cry Empire. If the Corrupt path invaded but the Bloodnet Sect acted as if they couldn't stop them and let them through, then those Corrupt disciples would unleash a calamity on the capital.
Back then, all the powerful sects had split the spirit stone mine up. Only the Bloodnet Sect had been kicked out.
An Elder from the Bloodnet Sect called Zhao Changxing had even wanted to humiliate Long Chen, only to be driven away by Tu Fang.
Now that they were in charge of guarding the area ahead of Phoenix Cry, then with their hatred from that matter, it was very likely for them to do something sinister.
That was why Long Chen's expression changed. His parents were still in Phoenix Cry. He was worried and he had to make a trip there.

Meanwhile, Long Tianxiao and Shi Feng prepare battle against the invading Evil Path.
At the same time as Long Tianxiao was gathering his soldiers, a hundred miles away, there were a dozen young men wearing robes of the Bloodnet Sect. They were quietly observing Long Tianxiao and the others.
"Senior apprentice-brother Luo, is it really ok for us to do this?" asked one of them worriedly.
"What are you so afraid of? Elder Zhao Changxing has already given us approval."
A man with an extremely gloomy expression icily responded, "Those damn idiots from Phoenix Cry should all die. Especially that father and son from the Long family. They should die a hundred thousand times over.
"Originally, Phoenix Cry's spirit stone mine was long since noticed by our Bloodnet Sect. If it weren't for that father and son from the Long family ruining our plans, all those spirit stones would have landed in our Bloodnet Sect's pocket."
That man, who had been called senior apprentice-brother Luo, clenched his teeth.
That white-robed man, who Long Chen had killed back then, was his little brother. He had thought to give his little brother an opportunity to stand out a bit, but his little brother had ended up dying instead. Even he had ended up punished afterward.
The matter of the spirit stone mine had caused the Bloodnet Sect to suffer a double loss. Furthermore, they were then treated as a laughingstock by the other surrounding sects.
And so by now, everyone within the Bloodnet Sect hated Long Chen and Long Tianxiao. They were delighted to find out that they were lucky enough to be appointed to this position that was near Phoenix Cry's border.
They could borrow this opportunity to let someone else do their dirty work. Zhao Changxing, the Elder who had been kicked out of the spirit stone mine discussion by the other sects, had directly told the disciples to purposely let a squad of Corrupt disciples through to slaughter everyone near Phoenix Cry's border.
Although they would be punished for negligence, the punishment wouldn't be that bad. For a couple of commoners to die wouldn't bring about many repercussions.
They couldn't personally go kill Long Tianxiao, but letting him die to the Corrupt disciples was also pretty good revenge.
