Chapter 523 – Aftermath
Under Chen Fan’s lead, all the Spring Autumn Sect’s disciples had seemingly gone crazy, sweeping the lands and slaughtering the blood demons. The blood demons’ screams rang out endlessly.
No one pitied these blood demons who had committed countless atrocities, let alone sympathized with them. They killed every blood demon they could find, and if they couldn't kill them, they tried to tear a piece of flesh off them.
Curtains finally fell on this battle half a day later.
Facing the Spring Autumn Sect’s pursuit, the blood demon army, whose spirits had already crumbled, were like pigs or lambs waiting to be slaughtered. All of them were killed.
Their fates were already sealed when the eighteenth and nineteenth blood demon commanders fell.
The war at the Spring Autumn Sect shook the entire Great Chu Empire. While the sect suffered heavy casualties, the losses on the blood demons’ side were so great it shocked the people.
The blood demon army that came to attack the Spring Autumn Sect was annihilated, and even the two commanding Divine Nascent realm powerhouses failed to escape.
The blood demons’ side had suffered complete defeat in this tragic battle.
After this campaign, the Blood Demon Cave’s arrogant style was thoroughly suppressed.
The blood demons wreaking havoc across the Great Chu Empire also gradually vanished without a trace, as if they were scared from the Spring Autumn Sect’s slaughter, and had gone into hibernation again.
However, the orthodox alliance did not ease up. Instead, they mobilized numerous experts, including Divine Nascent realm powerhouses, who formed attack groups to hunt down the blood demons and eradicate their strongholds.
Through this purge, numerous strongholds of the Blood Demon Cave suffered devastating blows. Their blood demon army got wiped out, and even the presiding Divine Nascent realm powerhouses failed to escape.
In short, this expedition decimated seventy to eighty percent of the Blood Demon Cave’s forces.
Meanwhile, the Spring Autumn Sect sorted themselves out after that tragic battle. They had suffered a heavy blow. They lost about a third of their disciples, and more than thirty percent of the elders, who were their top combat forces.
If it weren’t for Chen Fan’s power-up at the critical moment, the Spring Autumn Sect wouldn’t have suffered such little losses. They might have even gotten annihilated.
As news of these events spread, Chen Fan's name sparked another storm in the Great Chu Empire. It became widely known that Chen Fan had single-handedly saved the Spring Autumn Sect in this battle.
Although Chen Fan’s cultivation has surpassed Wei Buyu, Chen Fan still showed his due respect and said, “Although the sect has experienced a tragic battle and suffered heavy losses, it is now like the springtime bamboo shoots after a rain, full of vigor and vitality.”
“You’re right. Although this battle caused the sect great losses, it also allowed the sect to shine with immense vigor. Soon, more experts will emerge.” Wei Buyu gazed far away, sighing. “The world is now in the hands of youngsters like you. It’s about time for us old timers to step aside.”
“Master, you’re not even a hundred years old. You’re still in your prime.” Chen Fan smiled.
Divine Nascent realm powerhouses could easily live to eight hundred years old, while Core Formation realm experts could live to five hundred. Wei Buyu was not even a hundred years old; he was indeed still in his prime.
“Hahahaha.” Wei Buyu laughed freely.
“Master, when is the Grand Sect Conference?” Chen Fan asked.
The Blood Demon Cave was severely weakened due to the recent purge and had completely hidden themselves like a turtle, not daring to raise their heads.
The Great Chu Empire’s overall situation had already stabilized, so the Grand Sect Conference could be safely convened.
“I was about to talk to you about this. It’s basically confirmed to be a month later. In the imperial city,” Wei Buyu said.
“A month later? That soon?” Chen Fan nodded and said.
As far as Chen Fan knew, the Grand Sect Conference was a very important event for all the sects across the Great Chu Empire.
There were a total of thirty-six nations in the Hong Domain. The sects in every nation would hold their respective Grand Sect Conference to select their best geniuses. Then, these people would be sent to an ancient ruin to undergo a trial.
Many people would successfully advance into the Divine Nascent realm in every iteration of the Grand Sect Conference, soaring to the sky in a single step.
It was also because of this that all the sects attached great importance to the Grand Sect Conference. Each nation only had thirty spots; the competition would be very fierce.
Each spot represented a Divine Nascent powerhouse.
With another Divine Nascent realm powerhouse, the overall strength of a sect would be doubled.
