523: Shadow Sect

That Disciple looked at Lin Feng, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and he whispered, "Senior Brother Lin Feng, don't you know yet? The battle between our Sect and the Demonic Sect has escalated. Now both sides are mobilizing their experts, preparing for a decisive battle."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but ponder. He knew that this battle concerned the survival of the Sect, and as a member of the Sect, he couldn't just stand by.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand. Thank you for telling me."

Lin Feng checked Murong Xue's location. Murong Xue was currently stationed in a place called Taihe City, where three Body Integration Cultivators were stationed.

Lin Feng's current performance in the Sect was only that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator. A Sect war was not something an Outer Sect Disciple like him needed to worry about.

Therefore, he decided to go to the city where Murong Xue was located. Lin Feng checked the tasks in the Mission Hall.

After checking, he found that there was a rotation task in Taihe City, and he decided to accept the Taihe City rotation task.

Lin Feng, along with other Outer Sect Disciples and some Inner Sect Disciples of the Sect, followed a True Disciple named Kang Ming to Taihe City.

Along the way, Lin Feng silently observed the Disciples around him. They were either excited, nervous, or worried, with various emotions intertwined.

Lin Feng pondered to himself, wondering how many Disciples would perish in this war against the Demonic Sect, and how many would survive.

He took a deep breath, casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and focused on Cultivating, hoping to further improve his cultivation level on the way to Taihe City.

After several days of travel, Lin Feng and his group finally arrived at Taihe City.

Taihe City was located at the border between the Immortal Realm and the Demonic Sect's forces, but its location was somewhat remote and not a very important strategic point, so only three Body Integration Cultivators were stationed there.

At this time, Taihe City had already gathered a large number of Sect Disciples, all making their final preparations for the upcoming major battle.

He found the three Body Integration Cultivators guarding Taihe City, and after completing the handover of the rotation task, he began to inspect Taihe City's defenses.

Taihe City's defenses were extremely strict. The city walls were tall and sturdy, with various Restrictions and Formations arranged on them, which could effectively resist the attacks of the Demonic Sect.

Lin Feng was very curious as to why the Nine Stars Sect would have a dispute with the Demonic Sect, and it seemed that there was a deep-seated hatred between the two sides, with every confrontation being a life-and-death struggle, showing no mercy.

Lin Feng walked around Taihe City, pondering to himself about the cause of this war and why it was so fierce.

He found a Disciple in charge of command and asked him about the reason for the war.

That Disciple looked at Lin Feng with a somewhat complex expression, and he whispered, "Senior Brother Lin Feng, you're new, aren't you? The reason for this war is actually quite complicated."

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Yes, I just came out of seclusion, and I don't know much about the outside situation yet. Can you tell me about it?"

That Disciple sighed and said, "Actually, the cause of this war is still about resources. The people of the Demonic Sect covet the resources of our Immortal Sect and try to invade our territory, which is why we are fighting them."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but ponder. He knew that resources were crucial for Cultivators. Whether it was for Cultivation or battle, a large amount of resources was needed for support.

And since the people of the Demonic Sect coveted the resources of the Immortal Realm, then this war would probably be unavoidable.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "So that's how it is. What's our current situation?"

That Disciple said with a solemn expression, "The situation is not optimistic. The people of the Demonic Sect are powerful, and they act ruthlessly and without scruples. We have already lost many Disciples, and if this continues, I'm afraid Taihe City will be difficult to hold."

Lin Feng then asked the Soul Transformation Disciple in front of him, "Thank you, Senior Brother, for clarifying. May I ask your name, Senior Brother? And what Sect is invading our Nine Stars Sect?"

That Disciple heard him and replied, "My name is Li Chen, and I am one of the Disciples in charge of commanding Taihe City. As for the one invading our Nine Stars Sect, it is the Nether Shadow Sect from the Demonic Sect."

Lin Feng nodded upon hearing this, silently noting down the name. Since the Nether Shadow Sect dared to invade the Nine Stars Sect, they must possess considerable strength.

He asked Li Chen again, "Besides the three Body Integration Cultivators, are there any other experts stationed here in Taihe City?"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "No, there are only three Body Integration Cultivators here in Taihe City. They are our strongest force. The other Disciples' strength is far inferior and cannot contend with the experts of the Demonic Sect."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He knew that with only three Body Integration Cultivators, it would probably be very difficult to hold Taihe City. And once Taihe City fell, the people of the Demonic Sect would march straight in, posing a greater threat to the Nine Stars Sect.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Li Chen, do you know if the Sect has sent any other reinforcements?"

Li Chen shook his head again and said, "We haven't received any news of reinforcements yet. However, I believe the Sect will not stand by and do nothing. They will definitely find a way to send reinforcements."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, feeling a little relieved.

As the backing of Taihe City, the Sect would definitely find a way to support Taihe City.

He asked Li Chen again, "Are there any special defensive measures or Restrictions here in Taihe City?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Li Chen's eyes. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be interested in these things.

However, he still answered truthfully, "Taihe City does have some special defensive measures and Restrictions, but these all require Body Integration Cultivators to activate and control. We low-level Disciples cannot access them."

Lin Feng nodded in understanding. As the backbone of the Nine Stars Sect, the Body Integration Cultivators possessed extraordinary strength and methods.

And these special defensive measures and Restrictions were probably also secret weapons that only Body Integration Cultivators could master.

He took a deep breath, casting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind. The most important thing now was to find a way to improve his strength and prepare for the upcoming major battle.

He cupped his hands to Li Chen and said, "Thank you, Junior Brother Li Chen, for clarifying. I'll go inspect Taihe City's defenses first to see if there's anything that needs improvement."

Li Chen nodded and said, "Alright, Senior Brother Lin Feng, you go ahead. If you need any help, just come find me."

Lin Feng smiled slightly upon hearing this, then turned and left, beginning to inspect Taihe City's defenses.
