Chapter 218: Opponent’s Purpose
Lin Shen had just finished dealing with the attack on Xianling Island when he received a message from Lin Yueru, "Anos, where have you been? We searched the entire Shushan Mountain but couldn't find you."
Lin Shen smiled bitterly in his heart and said, "My dear Miss Lin, if I don't leave, Xianling Island will be doomed."
Lin Yueru, who was in Shushan at the time, gasped when she heard this and asked, "What? Something happened on Xianling Island?"
Zhao Linger, who was beside Lin Yueru, screamed "Ah!" when she heard this, and then she also sent a telepathic message to Lin Shen, "What? Xianling Island was attacked. How are Master and Grandma?"
Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, I got back in time this time, and they are all fine.
However, after this battle, Xianling Island was hit hard again, and the people in Shuiyue Palace have been very busy these days."
Zhao Linger finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad everyone's alright. Brother Anos, are the people who attacked Shushan this time the same ones who attacked last time?"
Lin Shen said, "I just finished the fight when you guys wrote to me. I haven't had time to read it yet.
But the most likely reason is that the one-eyed and one-horned giant appeared again this time.
Ling'er, Yueru, wait for me in Shushan. I'll take care of things here and return to Shushan to meet you."
Zhao Linger said, "I know. Be careful."
Lin Shen said "hmm" and stopped talking. At this time, a palace servant took the clothes from the minion. Lin Shen picked it up and saw the mark of Qionghua Sect on it.
Because Lingyue Palace Master had never seen it before, he asked, "Young friend, look at this mark. Which gang or organization does it belong to?"
Lin Shen said, "This is from the Qionghua Sect."
When Lingyue Palace Master heard this, he was shocked and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I've heard about the Qionghua Sect, but wasn't it destroyed five hundred years ago?"
Lin Shen said, "I'm also very confused as to what's going on. It's happening in Shushan and Xianling Island as well.
I really can’t figure out what happened now. But fortunately there were no major casualties this time.”
Grandma Jiang interrupted at this time and said, "Since the last night attack, we have learned our lesson and have never relaxed the training of our disciples."
Lin Shen said, "That's good. I should go back to Shushan to meet up with Ling'er and the others."
The Palace Master of Lingyue Palace bowed and said, "My friend, we will meet again later."
Lin Shen nodded and said, "Master, Grandma, we'll meet again later."
After saying that, Lin Shen snapped his fingers and used the Yuexing technique to return to Shushan.
After returning to Shushan, he found that Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu, Jiang Waner, Li Xiaoyao, Taiwu, and Cao Gu were all waiting for him outside Lin Shen's room.
After Lin Shen came back, Zhao Linger said, "Brother Anos, you are back."
Lin Shen noticed that in addition to a few acquaintances, there were two other people this time.
One of them was holding a scroll of bamboo slips, a handsome man in his twenties, dressed in green.
Another man who looked about the same age, with gray hair in a ponytail and was blind.
Lin Shen took a look and immediately recognized the two people as Qingshi and Yushu from the Seven Sages of Shushan. In the games "Chinese Paladin V" and "Chinese Paladin V Prequel", these two people usually appeared in a group. He didn't expect to meet them at this time.
The man holding the scroll bowed to Lin Shen and said, "My name is Yu Shu. You must be Anos, I have heard of you for a long time."
Lin Shen smiled and bowed in return, saying, "So it's Taoist Master Yu Shu. My apologies. May I ask who the person next to you is?"
The blind man also responded, "My name is Qingshi, nice to meet Anos."
Lin Shen replied, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Okay, Anos, why did you go to Xianling Island?"
Lin Shen told everyone about the attack on Xianling Island and how he rushed to provide reinforcements.
Qingshi said, "It can now be confirmed that the people who attacked Xianling Island and those who attacked Xianling Island are the same group of people, and this group of people is related to the Qionghua Sect."
Lin Shen said, "This is certain, but the two sects should have no grudge against them.
Five hundred years ago, Shushan was just a small, unknown sect, and the Shuiyue Palace on Xianling Island probably didn't even exist at that time. What was the reason for attacking these two sects?
Tai Wu said, “Maybe they want to take revenge on all the immortal sects in the human world.
Recently, we received news that, in addition to Shushan and Xianling Island, Kunlun Sect, Penglai, Luoluo Mountain, and other immortal cultivation sects were attacked."
Everyone present gasped. Zhao Linger said, "So what happened to the sect that was attacked?"
Cao Gu sighed when he heard this and said, "Don't mention it. Although the attacks were repelled, the attacked sects suffered heavy casualties."
Lin Shen complained, "I seriously suspect that the leader of this group of people is stupid and has never studied military books."
Li Xiaoyao said, "Anos, why do you talk like that?"
Qingshi seemed to understand Lin Shen's meaning and said, "Junior Brother Xiaoyao, you don't understand what Brother Anos means.
What he meant was that the enemy's behavior of dispersing their forces and attacking in multiple directions was not a wise move.
We should gather our forces and attack them at one point."
Lin Shen clapped his hands and said, "That's exactly what I meant. If we were to gather all our forces to attack Shushan or Xianling Island, I'm afraid I would have been overwhelmed long ago."
Yu Shu said, "Perhaps there is a possibility that their scattered attacks this time are a demonstration to the other immortal cultivation sects.
This is just a show of force. If you don't behave, the next time we'll try to destroy your sect."
Lin Shen crossed his hands, tapping his arms lightly with his fingers, and after a while he said, "Master Yushu's point of view is not without reason.
Because in these two battles, if it was really the Qionghua Sect that did it, none of their four guardian beasts appeared."
Anu asked, "What are the four guardian beasts of Qionghua?"
Yu Shu immediately interrupted, “They are Kaiming Beast, Luwu, Lizhu, and Yingzhao.
They didn't appear during the attack on Mount Shu. Judging from what Anos described, the four guardian beasts also didn't appear during the attack on Xianling Island."
Jiang Wan'er said, "If that's the case, then there's a possibility of a demonstration. Then, the people from Shushan and Xianling Island who are trying to surrender will probably come to us soon."
At this time, the system prompt sounded "
Congratulations to the host for protecting Xianling Island.
Reward the host with 5000 system coins!
Reward the host with one Nine-Transformation Great Rejuvenation Pill and one Ten-Ingredient Great Tonic Pill!"
Lin Shen said, "It's not a good idea to passively take a beating now. I think we should go to the old site of Qionghua and take a look. Maybe we can find some clues."
Zhao Linger, Lin Yueru, Anu, and Jiang Waner answered in unison, "I'll go!"
Li Xiaoyao wanted to go, but was stopped by Lin Shen, who said, "Xiaoyao, you stay in Shushan. Among all the people in Shushan, I only signed a sound transmission contract with you.
If there is any change in Shushan, please inform me immediately."
Li Xiaoyao thought about it, sighed helplessly and said, "Well, you guys should be careful. Protect Ling'er and Yueru."
Lin Shen smiled, patted Li Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, they will be fine with me here."
Afterwards, Lin Shen pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, using the Yuexing technique to leave Shushan. Everyone else dispersed, leaving only Li Xiaoyao standing there in a daze.
