Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Lin Chen’s Proposal

At this moment, Dragon Fang lay silently submerged within Lin Chen’s Soul Sea, not daring to speak, aware that he had indeed been careless this time.

He had not expected that Xue Yuanba’s strength would be so terrifying, with the Plain Blade Soul Cutter barely able to withstand 90 percent of the opponent’s single punch.

Seeing Lin Chen injured, Dragon Fang knew that making a move now would be futile, so he hid inside the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, fearful that Lin Chen would find trouble with him.

Although Lin Chen was hit by a punch from Xue Yuanba and injured, his Ancient Divine Body possessed astonishing recovery power. With the aid of some elixirs, his injury rapidly improved.

"Young Master Lin Chen, are you alright?"

Yan Yue approached Lin Chen, asking with concern.

Lin Chen waved his hand, signifying that he was not in serious trouble.

"Senior Yan, I am already deeply grateful that you were willing to lend a hand, how could I possibly blame you."

Lin Chen said gratefully.

Yan Yue had refused Red Soul Hall’s request to hand over Lin Chen and had just helped Lin Chen block Xue Yuanba’s attack; Lin Chen felt deeply grateful at heart.

"These Red Soul Hall rascals are getting increasingly arrogant. They’ve even made such outrageous demands this time. It seems that even this competition is nothing but a stalling tactic; who knows what schemes they’re preparing."

"Alas, as Martial Artists, we’re used to opposing Red Soul Hall, but the dawn’s civilians..."

Yan Yue said this, his eyes filled with concern, obviously worried about the lives of those civilians.

Looking at Yan Yue, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel great respect for him. Yan Yue truly lived up to being the strongest of the Divine Flame Alliance, caring about these matters, whereas other strong individuals did not regard the lives of ordinary civilians as significant.

"Senior, if things go on like this, our Divine Flame Alliance will only become more passive. I think we should take the initiative to strike and assault the Red Soul Hall."

Lin Chen looked earnestly at Yan Yue, voicing his own thoughts.

Lin Chen wasn’t as burdened with concerns as Yan Yue, but with the Demon Cultivators of Red Soul Hall committing many evils, Lin Chen could no longer stand it and resolved that they must not be allowed to continue their wicked deeds.

"Take the initiative to strike and assault the Red Soul Hall?"

Yan Yue was somewhat surprised upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, thinking he was joking.

After all, the Divine Flame Alliance has always been on the defensive against Red Soul Hall and has never mentioned taking the offensive before.

"That’s right, a proactive attack. The strength of our Divine Flame Alliance is now sufficient to face Red Soul Hall head-on. Why should we continue to be hesitant?"

Lin Chen spoke earnestly. Over the years, both the Formation Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sect had developed, especially the Jade Cauldron Sect, which had grown to rival the Six Great Superpowers under Lin Chen’s investment of numerous resources.

Even in terms of War Department might, the Jade Cauldron Sect vastly outstripped other Sects, with the Spirit Sword Sect, famous for its Sword Array, paling in comparison.

This was Lin Chen’s greatest confidence. Now, the Jade Cauldron Sect’s power consisted of an army of more than five hundred thousand from the War Department alone.

Among them, the Battle Eagle Squad made up one fifth, nearly a hundred thousand strong, with each member being outstanding. Combined with the forces of the Warship Battalion, Inscription Battalion, and the New Recruits Battalion, Lin Chen’s power was already formidable enough not to fear Red Soul Hall.

However, while the Jade Cauldron Sect possessed a formidable War Department army, it was sorely lacking in top-tier experts.

To unleash the full might of the War Department army, the cooperation of top-tier experts was indispensable.

Therefore, Lin Chen’s suggestion naturally aimed to unite with other powers of the Divine Flame Alliance to attack Red Soul Hall collectively.

Lin Chen understood that eradicating Red Soul Hall with just Jade Cauldron Sect’s power alone would be extremely difficult. However, with the assistance of other powers within the Divine Flame Alliance, this task would be much easier.

Moreover, all the factions within the Divine Flame Alliance were already mortal enemies with Red Soul Hall. Now more than ever, the two sides were irreconcilable, giving Yan Yue no reason to reject Lin Chen’s proposal.

The situation was already such that if the alliance members didn’t fight Red Soul Hall, Red Soul Hall would take the initiative to attack them.

Hearing Lin Chen’s words, the old ancestors of the various powers within the Divine Flame Alliance fell into silence.

All this time, the different powers of the Divine Flame Alliance had been deeply suppressed by Red Soul Hall, including the Spirit Sword Sect, the leading force among the Six Great Powers.

Thus, everyone still held their previous attitudes towards Red Soul Hall, not daring to be its enemy, much less harbor thoughts of offensive action.

However, Lin Chen’s reminder made them recall the changes within the Divine Flame Alliance over the years, especially the battle at the Endless Sky Mountain Range, where the Lin Family Army had shown its might in resisting countless armies from Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race.

The Jade Cauldron Sect now stood on equal footing with their several great powers.

After two years of battle, both Red Soul Hall and the Divine Flame Alliance had suffered great losses. If they joined forces with the Jade Cauldron Sect, it might be possible to defeat Red Soul Hall.

With this in mind, Yan Yue was the first to express support for Lin Chen’s proposal.

"In that case, let’s follow Young Master Lin Chen’s suggestion and launch a proactive strike, letting the Red Soul Hall scoundrels taste our fury," Yan Yue said coldly after thoughtful deliberation.

Yan Yue’s gaze fell upon the other factions of the Divine Flame Alliance and inquired, "What do you all think?"

"As the old ancestor of the Formation Sect, I naturally agree with Lin Chen’s proposal," spoke Qin Batian as he stood out first to support Lin Chen.

With both Qin Batian and Yan Yue agreeing to Lin Chen’s proposal, the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect immediately affirmed their agreement as well.

That left only Third Person Pavilion and Dark Fragrance Hermitage.

Li Ziyue looked at her Master, worried that her Master would not support Lin Chen, which made her anxious.

What if her Master disagreed? What should they do?

"Young Master Lin Chen, we at Third Person Pavilion naturally agree with your proposal,"

"However, over the past two years, our various powers have expended considerable resources in opposing Red Soul Hall. We’re already hard-pressed to defend ourselves; launching a war now, I fear our reserves are inadequate!"
