"Young master Chen, please don''t be reckless. I will be waiting for you inside the Yellow stone city", Zi Ningxi spoke. Her body was still sensitive because of all the sweet things she had done with Zhan Chen. She wanted some more time but unfortunately the battle had began once again.


    "Princess, don''t worry. I will be safe as long as I am not facing a consummate expert", Zhan Chen replied. He nted a good bye kiss on Zi Ningxi''s lips and walked out of the stone house.


    Inside the city wall, the Xuantian sect cultivators werepletely ready. There was another group of cultivators who hade to fight the devils.


    Zhan Chen asked around and found they were from the Lee n. They were a first rate n of the Earth province. They had good rtionship with the Xuantian sect since hundreds of years. So, they hade to assist the sect during the moment of danger.


    ''Zhan Chen,e here. What do you think about the situation", Ying Chao spoke as he propped up Zhan Chen towards the sky with his essence energy.


    "Elders, what do you think?", Zhan Chen looked towards the surrounding elders. The situation was indeed dire as more powerful devils hade from the spatial crack. They, the Xuantian sect didn''t hold edge any longer as the advantage had shifted to the devil army.


    "The situation is very difficult at the moment. We have eight tribtion realm experts in our side. Six more were waiting in a nearby area but we shouldn''t call them to fight at the moment. If more powerful devils pour in, them we are done for. Contrary to us, devils have twelve tribtion realm experts by their side. All of them seemed ferocious. I don''t know how the battle will pan out", an elder sent a mental message to Zhan Chen.


    "Zhan Chen, your previous idea was correct. We should have attacked with all of our might and ughtered these devils. Unfortunately, we held back and the situation is very drastic now", Ying Chao spoke.


    Other elders also looked towards Zhan Chen as they were really interested to hear the opinion of Zhan Chen. Previously, they considered him someone from the junior generation. He was talented but he couldn''t sway their opinion.


    The battle in the Yellow stone city changed their attitude towards Zhan Chen. His performance came as a shock to them as Zhan Chen had killed approximately hundred Core condensation realm devils in few hours. Even, Martial ascension realm cultivators had struggled against their opponents but Zhan Chen didn''t. He single-handedly ughtered devils as if they were mere chickens.


    He was only eighteen year old at this moment. So, the elders could not even imagine, how far he would grow in the future. At the least, he would be an emperor. So, the elders view Zhan Chen as someone important for the sect.


    "Elders, it is not like we do not have a way out. We should separate the devils and engage them in different groups. There army is almost double than us. So, a frontal collision is not desirable", Zhan Chen spoke.


    "Even, we divide ourselves in groups, there number will be more than us. All of our cultivators will be in pressure in that case. There is also their Tribtion realm experts. What if they choose to strike a group? We can''t protect our disciples if we divided them", Ying Chao spoke with a frown. He couldn''t understand why Zhan Chen was suggesting to divide their troops.


    "Do as Zhan Chen is saying. If we don''t do anything out of ordinary, then their is no chance that we will prevail. Divide ourselves in ten groups. We, Xuantian sect has eight Tribtion realm experts, Lee n has one and city lord of the Hundred blossom city has one Tribtion realm expert. Together all of you can keep an eye on all the groups we create", a voice rang inside the mind of Ying Chao. It was Fu Deming who had just spoken. He was the true leader of the Xuantian group who was hiding at the moment.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Everyone, senior Deming has spoken now. He wants us to follow Zhan Chen''s n", he spoke to all the elders present.


    "How can this be?", an elder murmured. He was against the idea that Zhan Chen had proposed.


    "Let''s try out what Zhan Chen is suggesting. If it fails, we can always fall back inside the city and think about another n. Moreover, imperial family can''t ignore the condition much longer", another elder spoke.


    "Then it is decided", Ying Chao looked towards other elders. Everyone nodded their heads. Few of them were doubtful about the sess of the n but they still agreed because of Fu Deming''s order.


    "Zhan Chen, you will lead a group. You are no longeer allowed to act alone. It will be too risky if you fall into an ambush", Ying Chao spoke.


    "Senior, as you wish", Zhan Chen replied.Inwardly, he was rejoicing because they would divide the devils into various groups. That would give him more freedom to target the tribtion realm experts of the devil army.


    Ying Chao waved his hand and Zhan Chen was sent downward. He walked towards Lan Yueyue after talking with the Xuantian sect elders.


    "City lord, have you recovered?", he asked Lan Yueyue. There was many cultivators present nearby. So, he behaved as formal as possible while talking with Lan Yueyue.


    "Yes, I have recovered. What are you discussing with the elders?", Lan Yueyue asked.


    "We are talking about dividing our force. In short, all the cultivators will be divided into various groups. Out strategy will be to divide the forces of devils and force them to fight us after getting separated. Element of surprise will be with us and if we can properly implement the n, then we may outwit the devils", Zhan Chen spoke.


    The elders soon finished discussion among themselves and flew down to organise the troops. This time, the forces from Lee n and the existing cultivators of the Yellow stone city were added, making the forces under Xuantian sect muchrger.


    Zhan Chen was given the charge of one of the ten groups and he epted the responsibility. He took Lan Yueyue with him and together they walked towards the group assigned to Zhan Chen.


    "Everyone, I am Zhan Chen. She is city lord of the Hundred blossom city. I hope all of you consider us as one group. I need full cooperation from each of our members. So that, we can fight together and vanquish our opponents", Zhan Chen spoke.
