189: Chapter 188 Turning the Tide of Battle! Shocking the Entire Audience!

Representative Luo Hong's expression turned serious, revealing a sense of helplessness.

"I know, but there is no way for me to intervene."

"Your senior brothers are fine, but for people like me and those from the Martial Artist Association, our presence here only serves as a deterrent."

"If we actually enter the fray, the situation will escalate."

Representative Luo Hong shook his head and patiently explained to Chen Lin.

"We have top-tier combat power on our side, and the Ghost Race has it as well. Otherwise, do you think they would dare to attack Wu City with just a few leaders in the Life Wheel Realm?"

"They all have ancestor-level figures backing them."

Chen Lin frowned: "So... even though you haven't made a move, you've been watched by opponents in the shadows all along?"

"That's right." Representative Luo Hong nodded.

"Little Lin, when you analyze matters, you can see things clearly if you step outside the game."

"The human race has me, Representative Luo Hong, and the Ghost Race naturally has people with equivalent combat power."

"Otherwise, this attack would have been suppressed and ended long ago!"

"And once both sides possess equivalent combat power, you become restricted."

"Unless you have the true ability to break the deadlock, entering the fray directly will only result in a protracted war with the opponent."

"At our level, once a protracted war begins, Wu City won't even last ten days before it's wiped out."

Chen Lin didn't speak this time, just frowned tightly.

Representative Luo Hong continued: "I heard that the reason this battle started is because the younger brother of a leader named Han Tian from the Ghost Race's Han clan died in Wu City. He couldn't swallow this insult, so he brought people here."

"I know, that person was killed by me," Chen Lin said.

Representative Luo Hong was stunned, then said in surprise: "You killed him? No wonder Wang Gu and the others said it was because of you. I never asked for details, but now I understand."

"Wait... Since you were the one who killed him, why didn't Han Tian seek revenge on you instead of coming to slaughter Wu City?" Representative Luo Hong suddenly realized something and looked at Chen Lin with a puzzled expression.

Chen Lin was equally confused: "I don't know. I haven't been assassinated."

"Actually, I don't understand it either. Every debt has a debtor. Han Tian's brother died, so why target Wu City and Uncle Zhou instead of me, Chen Lin? Does he want to make me feel guilty???"

As soon as these words were spoken, a man nearby immediately smiled and offered guidance: "Little Lin, don't overthink it or feel guilty. The alien races and the human race have been mortal enemies for years. They will invade whenever they get the chance. The trigger itself isn't actually important."

Chen Lin looked up at the man, who had dyed white hair, looked sunny and handsome, and was smiling in a very approachable way.

"This is your Senior Brother Silver Wolf, at the ninth level of the Life Wheel Realm with five attributes. He follows the same path as Teacher Luo and is very fierce," Senior Brother Lu Mingfei introduced from the side.

Upon hearing this, Chen Lin immediately recognized him. Wang Gu had mentioned him before, and it seemed Silver Wolf had even fought the Ghost Race with them, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"As expected of the junior brother Teacher Luo values the most; you turned the tide of the battle as soon as you arrived," Silver Wolf praised.

Senior Brother Lu Mingfei also expressed admiration: "That's right. We were all being kept in check, watching helplessly as the human race weakened. Fortunately, Little Lin came."

"It wasn't that much..."

"Don't be modest."

"Just now, flying in the sky, holding an axe, your whole body shimmering with light, and the phantom of the Perfect World behind you emitting a glow that dispersed the sky full of ghost energy."

"The key is that you drove back thousands of Ghost Race geniuses with a single shout. That was seriously cool."

"If I were a woman, I would really be conquered by you."

"Senior Brother Lu, please stop joking around."

"By the way, seniors, do you know the whereabouts of my Uncle Zhou?"

Chen Lin changed the subject and directly asked about the matter he cared about most. Uncle Zhou, Zhou Tieshan, had raised him. Although he wasn't his biological father, Chen Lin had always kept this debt of gratitude in his heart. Martial generals value loyalty and righteousness. Now that Uncle Zhou had been captured by the Ghost Race and his whereabouts were unknown, it would be a lie to say Chen Lin wasn't anxious.

"Your Uncle Zhou..." When Zhou Tieshan was mentioned, Senior Brother Lu Mingfei and Silver Wolf fell silent.

"Little Lin, we had a moment of negligence when we went to pick up Teacher Luo, and we didn't expect Han Tian of the Ghost Race to bring people and directly abduct your Uncle Zhou."

"Actually, we had previously thought Zhou Tieshan was dead, but if the grudge is on you, then it is very possible that Zhou Tieshan is still alive."

"After all, you killed Han Tian's brother, and Han Tian captured your Uncle Zhou. If I were Han Tian, I would definitely keep Zhou Tieshan alive. I wouldn't kill him until I had lured you over."

"And right now, Zhou Tieshan should be on the mountain behind Wu City."

"That place is currently the temporary camp of the Ghost Race," Silver Wolf analyzed.

After hearing this, a glimmer of joy bloomed in Chen Lin's eyes. That's right. If analyzed this way, it is very possible that Uncle Zhou isn't dead. No, he definitely isn't dead!

Han Tian's brother was killed by him; Han Tian wouldn't have killed Uncle Zhou immediately after capturing him. Even if just to disgust him, he would keep Uncle Zhou alive. Thinking of this, Chen Lin clenched his fists, and hope reignited in his heart. Uncle Zhou wasn't dead. With this thought, Chen Lin stood up.

Representative Luo Hong, who understood Chen Lin best, twitched the corner of his mouth and hurriedly stopped him.

"Little Lin, don't do anything foolish first."

"The mountain behind is full of Ghost Race people right now. If you charge up there alone, although you are very strong and no one can withstand a single axe strike from you, you will eventually reach a point of exhaustion. I'm afraid that before you even get up there to see your Uncle Zhou, you won't be able to hold on anymore."

"That's right, Junior Brother. You were able to drive back the Ghost Race on the battlefield just now because they didn't have anyone who could restrict you. If they ganged up on you, you definitely couldn't hold out, but we wouldn't just watch you get ganged up on. So they had no choice but to retreat. But if you go up the mountain directly, the nature of the situation will be different. You won't have any companions by your side. If they gang up on you, you'll have no way to deal with it," Silver Wolf hurriedly chimed in to persuade him.

Chen Lin frowned, just about to say something.

Dozens of people were walking toward them from the distance, interrupting Chen Lin's train of thought. Leading them was an elderly woman. She had a smile on her face and exuded no pressure, but looking at her, Chen Lin instinctively felt danger. This woman was very powerful! Her cultivation realm was likely above the Life Wheel Realm!

The people following her were also very formidable.

"Young man, my name is Great Saint Wang Shuran, from the Martial Artist Association."

"Not bad at all. You don't make a move until you have to, and when you do, it's astonishing."

"Just now, I thank you on behalf of Wu City."

"If it weren't for you, I don't know how many more days this slaughter would have lasted, or how many people would have died."

"Little Lin, this is Great Saint Wang Shuran, who is currently overseeing Wu City," Representative Luo Hong reminded him from the side.

Hearing this, Chen Lin nodded: "You are too kind, Senior."

"Oh, Representative Luo Hong, is this your student?"

"As expected, genius matches genius. I didn't see it wrong just now, he is a Ten-Luminaries Martial Artist, right?"

"Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a phantom of the Perfect World during the battle."

"In my generation when I was young, I would have had to look up to him!"

"Cultivate him well, and strive to let him grow up to become a top-tier combat power for the Martial Arts Association and even the Great Xia."

Great Saint Wang Shuran smiled, looking very kind and approachable, but for some reason, Chen Lin felt from the bottom of his heart that it was very difficult to get close to her.

"Young man, you have made a contribution by driving back the Ghost Race this time. If you need anything, whether it's cultivation resources or something else, just ask."

As soon as these words fell, a sharp light bloomed in Chen Lin's eyes, and he then respectfully said: "Senior, I don't need cultivation resources; I have only one request."

"Come with me to charge up the mountain behind and bring my Uncle Zhou back."

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings instantly went quiet. Great Saint Wang Shuran suddenly chuckled after hearing this.

Chen Lin frowned: You are laughing... Damn, I spoke too fast!
