Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Preparing for War

"Third Person Pavilion can support Young Master Lin Chen’s proposal to continue fighting against Red Soul Hall, but our resources indeed cannot keep up, so we can only offer moral support."

The elder Shang Wenming of Third Person Pavilion stood up and spoke indifferently.

Cui Cai from Dark Fragrance Hermitage also stood up, saying with a wry smile: "Our situation in Dark Fragrance Hermitage is similar."

Upon hearing their words, everyone fell silent.

In fact, the situation of their Sects was also not good.

But as Lin Chen said, if they do not unite and take the initiative to attack, would the people from Red Soul Hall simply sit back and spare them?

Although the responses from Shang Wenming and Cui Cai sounded reasonable, they were actually excuses for them to preserve their strength.

Although everyone could understand, after all, war consumes a tremendous amount of resources, and in these past two years, all parties involved have fought too many battles against Red Soul Hall, indeed resulting in massive consumption.

After hearing from Shang Wenming and Cui Cai, Lin Chen fell silent, lost in thought.

He was not dissatisfied with their answers, especially since he himself had been chased by Zhao Lingxi for resources.

Without resources, Jade Cauldron Sect would indeed have a hard time operating.

If it were not for Lin Chen obtaining many opportunities in various Secret Realms and ruins, he might be in the same predicament as them.

"Both of you, as long as Third Person Pavilion and Dark Fragrance Hermitage agree to join the fight against Red Soul Hall, I will cover all resource expenditures for the war," Lin Chen said indifferently looking at Shang Wenming and Cui Cai.

Lin Chen made such a decision after much deliberation. These two Sects were, after all, Super Powers of the Eastern Domain.

Without their participation, the likelihood of success against Red Soul Hall would decrease, and Lin Chen did not want to take that risk.

If this battle were to fail, all efforts would be in vain, so naturally, Lin Chen would provide resource support to these two Sects.

Of course, how much of the spoils of war the two Sects would receive after defeating Red Soul Hall, would be decided by Lin Chen.

"Young Master Lin Chen, are your words true?"

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Shang Wenming and Cui Cai were immediately overjoyed.

If what Lin Chen said was true, they naturally would want to join the battle against Red Soul Hall.

After all, the various forces of the Eastern Divine Flame Alliance harbored deep-seated hatred towards Red Soul Hall, and the reason they had not agreed to Lin Chen’s proposal before was due to the Sects’ empty treasuries and lack of sufficient resources to support a major war.

If they forcibly engaged in a big battle, regardless of victory or defeat, the Sect might face a period of decline.

But now, with Lin Chen providing resources, they could both fight and enhance their strength, which is undoubtedly beneficial to them.

Fighting could hone their skills, which is even more advantageous.

Jade Cauldron Sect is an example; its rise within just a few years was not only due to Lin Chen’s guidance but also because they honed their skills through battles.

To hone the power of the War Department’s army, Lin Chen had once expended countless resources, engaging the enemy forces slowly in battle.

"Of course, it’s true; I, Lin Chen, never lie."

"Moreover, this matter is of great importance; how could I possibly deceive on this matter."

Lin Chen looked at them and said earnestly.

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Shang Wenming and Cui Cai’s faces immediately showed joy, and they completely put their minds at ease.

Other forces hearing this news, each showed somewhat awkward expressions, feeling envious of Third Person Pavilion and Dark Fragrance Hermitage.

"Lin Chen, my friend, we were only putting on a brave face just now; our situation is actually similar to these two Sects, could you possibly..."

The elder from Ten Thousand Buddha Sect looked at Lin Chen and spoke somewhat embarrassingly.

Yan Yue also looked at Lin Chen, hoping for his response.

So did Qin Batian, his gaze filled with a hint of expectation.

Seeing the expressions of the people, Lin Chen felt somewhat helpless.

But he understood that handling matters required a unified standard, otherwise it might cause dissatisfaction.

After much deliberation, Lin Chen proposed that during this battle against Red Soul Hall, all resources from the War Department would be provided by him, but after defeating Red Soul Hall, he alone would decide how the spoils were distributed.

Upon hearing this proposal, the people agreed without hesitation.

After all, removing Red Soul Hall from the Eastern Domain was already a good outcome, and with Lin Chen providing the resources for war preparation, they naturally dared not make other demands.

"Young brother Lin Chen is a straightforward man; such a good occasion definitely calls for a celebration, bring out the wine."

The elder from Ten Thousand Buddha Sect was very forthright, immediately bringing out wine to drink merrily with everyone.

Lin Chen, watching everyone’s behavior, couldn’t help but sigh internally.

These old eccentrics, who had lived for who knows how many years, were also taking advantage of him, a junior.

Although somewhat dissatisfied, Lin Chen did not voice it out.

After all, he indeed had the resources, and the most pressing matter currently was dealing with Red Soul Hall.

However, Lin Chen’s helplessness was not missed by others like Li Ziyue and Deng Yue; they were surprised by the behavior of the elder.

They had not expected that the revered elder still had such a side.

However, at the moment, Lin Chen could only reluctantly accept this reality, resigned to being seen as the ’big prize’ by others.

Yet what others did not know was that this was also what Lin Chen wanted to see.

After all, having already been targeted by Red Soul Hall, for his own protection, Lin Chen could only be at ease by removing Red Soul Hall.

Therefore, if the other forces of the Divine Flame Alliance did not agree to assist Lin Chen, he was prepared to take action together with the Array Formation Sect and Jade Cauldron Sect.

After discussing, everyone then returned to Spirit Sword City.

The journey back was uneventful.

Upon returning to Spirit Sword City, all forces went back to their respective Sects, starting to prepare for the war immediately.

With the war resources provided by Lin Chen, all they needed to do was to mobilize the War Department’s army.

"Elder, are we being too rash in completely following Lin Chen’s arrangements this time?"
