In fact, the State of Zhou now had the upper hand in the war against the State of Jin and many divisions had already occupied five or six cities.
The Wuxin Clan did not care about this and gathered most of its forces to guard a few key clans, one of which was the Qingling Clan.
The rest of the forces dealt with the White Tiger Clan, Vermilion Bird Clan, Xuanwu Clan, the Tianyun Clan, and other clans that were determined to resist.
They were obviously thinking of driving the demon clan out of the State of Jin after gaining victory.
At the same time, they could also use the Demon clan to wipe out the 36 clans of the State of Jin.

…
While the crowd was thinking hard, Chen Chen walked in with the successor of the Qingling Clan on his back.
Everyone looked at Chen Chen, the junior division master of the body refinement division, with the utmost respect. However, they were confused about the appearance of the woman with him.
'Does this junior division master have some special fetish? However, he can't bring her to the large base camp either!'
"Junior division master, who is this?" Zhou Feng stood up and asked in bewilderment, pointing to the Qingling Clan successor, who was clad in green.
At this moment, Chen Chen's gaze had become calm and he replied indifferently, "I met this woman before. She's the successor of the Qingling Clan and the daughter of the Qingling Clan master. I met her on the way and kidnapped her."
"What?!" the crowd gasped in shock.
'The Junior division master only went out for a short while, yet he returned with the successor of another clan. Am I dreaming?'
'If this is really the Saintess of the Qingling Clan, I'll have 108 ways to put Qing Heng in his place!'
Seeing the crowd look gradually evil, Chen Chen humphed disdainfully in his heart.
He certainly would not let the Demon clan win too easily, but he honestly never thought of letting them defeat the State of Jin either.
That Demon clan could not accommodate the Tianyun Clan.
His ideal outcome would be the destruction of the Wuxin Clan, and the Tianyun Clan taking the place of the Wuxin Clan to unify the 36 clans. That way, the balance of the State of Zhou and State of Jin would be restored once again.
He would have a foothold in both sides and thus become the biggest winner.
However, it would be extremely difficult to do that.
"Uh…"
While they were all stuck in their own thoughts, the Qingling clan's successor, Qing Qian, slowly opened her eyes, only to see a bunch of strange people.
There were men with hideous masks and half-rotten corpses. Some were old men who were so aged that they were only skin and bones, while others were strange women wearing only strips of cloth.
Looking at the group of people, Qing Qian was on the verge of tears, her eyes full of helplessness. At this moment, she was overwhelmed with fear.
"Where am I? Is this hell?"

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Seeing that the successor of the Qingling Clan had woken up, Chen Chen suddenly exclaimed, "I think it's better to send this successor to the front of the formation to be hung up and beaten!"
"Damn!"
Hearing those words, the weirdos unanimously turned to look at Chen Chen with shock in their eyes.
'What the hell did he just say?'
Although they were not good people, the most they wanted to do was threaten Qing Heng with his daughter's life. But Chen Chen…
'Damn it! He's not human at all!'
At this moment, Qing Qian finally understood where she was, and when she heard Chen Chen's words, she was almost frightened to death, tears uncontrollably rolling down her cheeks.
"Junior division master… We may be from the demon clan, but we should still be human," said one of the Demon clan elders while adjusting the strip of cloth around his body.
"Human? A battle between two armies requires despicable means. You people are too soft-hearted. Since I caught this person, you should follow my instructions and give Qing Heng a warning before the battle tomorrow." Chen Chen continued coldly, "If he does not obey, his daughter will be hung in front of the two armies to be whipped! Even if he gives in, we must do so to let him know the consequences of offending the Demon clan!"
After hearing his words, the members of the Demon clan subconsciously moved further away from him.
'This Junior division master is too scary… I'd better stay further away from him.'
At this moment, Qing Qian almost fainted.
…
It was midnight.
Qing Qian was locked in a certain military camp with her spiritual power sealed.
Thinking about what she was about to face tomorrow, Qing Qian could not help but burst into tears. At this moment, she wished that she could just die, so that she wouldn't have to bear the humiliation.
Looking at the black shadows that flashed outside from time to time, Qing Qian was desperate and hopeless. At this point in time, she couldn't even move anymore, let alone kill herself.
She knew how much her father doted on her, and if the Demon clan really subjected her to such humiliating mistreatment and issued such a shameless threat, her father would definitely subdue and lose the battle.
Their loss would be all because of her then.
Thinking of this, Qing Qian became more and more uncomfortable, and deep down, her hatred for the Demon clan intensified.
'The Demon clan is a bunch of inhumane bastards, and the masked junior division master is a huge villain!'
…
Meanwhile, Chen Chen secretly tried to contact his master in the Tianyun Clan.
Now that he had completely gained the trust of the Demon clan, he could occasionally make trips to places a few kilometers away without anyone bothering him.
"Master, go help the White Tiger Clan and a few other clans attract a few more Nascent Soul realm powerhouses from the Wuxin Cla as much as possible tomorrow."
After he sent that message, Xiao Wuyou soon responded.
"Yes, but when will you be able to escape from the Demon clan?"
Chen Chen stayed silent for a while, his expression gradually turning solemn. He answered, "Master, now that the two states are in turmoil, for the Tianyun Clan to survive in the cracks, we must use part of the power of the Demon clan. I'm not talented, but I'm willing to wait for an opportunity to act in the Demon clan. I want to seek hope for the Tianyun Clan!"
"Disciple… You…" Xiao Wuyou was extremely touched.
"Master, don't go on. The Tianyun Clan is my home, and for the sake of our clan, I have no regrets!"
After saying those words, Chen Chen put away the messenger token and slowly walked towards the camp, looking sorrowful and miserable.
"System, who is the most righteous in a 30-meter radius?" Chen Chen asked while walking towards the base camp.
"In the tent six meters to the left…"
"Bullshit!" Chen Chen was ashamed and infuriated. After sp
After spitting some out saliva, he ducked into the largest tent.
Soon, the bigwigs of the Demon clan began exclaiming in awe and amazement.
…
The next day, things went just as he had expected.
As soon as the Demon clan issued that shameless threat and let Qing Qian show her face, the entire Qingling Clan panicked. Qing Heng, the Core Formation realm clan master, got so furious that he was on the verge of vomiting blood.
However, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare fight the Demon clan with all his might. If his daughter was hung up and beaten, then he might as well die.
The Qingling Clan resisted passively with dejection, and regardless of how hard they fought, their efforts were futile. After fighting for a short while, the city walls were broken by the Demon clan and they fought while retreating. Half a day later, even the Qingling Clan ended up in the hands of the Demon clan.
Qing Heng, the clan master of the Qingling Clan, managed to escape under the escort of a group of Wuxin Clan cultivators.
However, the Demon clan did not have any reservations. They simply rushed to the place where the fifth division, the Weapons Division, was fighting a battle with the Divine Blade Clan.
The Divine Blade Clan was supported by the Wuxin Clan, and its loyalty to the Wuxin Clan far exceeded that of the Qingling Clan. In fact, it could be considered the right arm of the Wuxin Clan, and the battle here was the most intense.
After noticing the movement of the Demon clan, the cultivators of the Wuxin Clan who had originally assisted the Qingling Clan also moved north to support the Divine Blade Clan.
Meanwhile, in a remote corner of the battlefield, a man with a hideous mask was slowly approaching the successor of the Qingling Clan, his eyes extremely cold and ruthless.
"As the junior division master of the first division of the Demon clan, I must do what I say, and since I said that I would strip you naked and hang you up to be beaten, I will honor my word!"
Looking at the masked man who was slowly approaching her, the Qingling Clan's successor wept incessantly, even having an emotional breakdown.
"Hahaha!"
The masked man's laughter was increasingly wicked, but at this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed past them and crashed into the masked man with a loud boom, sending the masked man flying dozens of meters away!
Immediately afterwards, the white figure carried the Qingling Clan's successor away without saying a single word, disappearing into the distance in no time.
"Take chase!" the masked man yelled loudly. Soon, a bunch of Demon clan members were chasing after them.
After being rescued all of a sudden, the Qingling Clan's successor couldn't come to terms with what was going on, feeling as if she was dreaming. Looking at the aloof young man who had rescued her, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Who… Who are you?"
"My real name is Chen Ji, code name 9-5-4-2-7!"
"Huh? Code name, what does that mean?" The Qingling Clan's successor, Qing Qian, asked in confusion.
"Since childhood, I have worshipped the Wuxin Clan and lurked in the Demon clan for more than ten years!"
"Are you from the Wuxin Clan?" Qing Qian asked with joy and surprise, as if she had seen a ray of light in the endless darkness.
Looking at the silly Qingling Clan successor, Chen Chen felt guilty.
'I'm too unethical, I actually cheated an honest person!'
"Ah, I did it all for the sake of the clan," Chen Chen nodded seriously after comforting himself quietly.
It couldn't be helped, since the headquarters of the Wuxin Clan had always been a mystery and there were rumors that they were in the secret realm. Rumor also had it that there was an invisibility array around the Wuxin Clan.
Even the disciples of the Wuxin Clan who were outside would need the guidance to the location of the clan.
Hence, he had to deceive Qing Qian at this time.
"Yes, I am an undercover agent of the Wuxin Clan lurking in the Demon clan. You are kind and you often s save people, so I really couldn't bear to see you suffering this humiliation. I had to save you, even at the risk of exposing my identity!"
Seeing the look of determination on Chen Chen's face, Qing Qian was extremely touched.
In this world, there were villains like the masked man, but there were also kind Samaritans like this young man in front of her.
It restored her confidence in this world.
Bang!
Before she could thank him, a palm shot out from the distance and struck her in the back!
"Be careful!" Chen Chen yelled, shielding her while his face suddenly turned pale and he vomited fresh blood.
"Are… Are you okay?"
"I… I'm fine. Leave, quickly!" Chen Chen hollered before increasing his pace.
The demon clan disciple stopped chasing too, simply watching them leave.
The masked man took off his mask, only to see that it was Yuan Qingtian.
"Why do you keep doing such fancy things? You scared her and then had her rescued. What are you thinking?"
Shaking his head, Yuan Qingtian concealed himself in the void.
…
On the other hand, after Chen Chen escaped with Qing Qian, he spat out a large mouthful of blood once again, which was actually the result of some fake medicine in order to create the illusion of being injured.
"Chen Ji… What is happening to you? Don't scare me!" Qing Qian's heart was in turmoil as she constantly channeled vitality into Chen Chen's body, all to no avail.
Seeing this scene, Qing Qian was filled with self-reproach and remorse. If not for the sake of defending her from that strike of the palm, how could the determined young man who had been lurking in the Demon clan for more than ten years be so seriously injured?
"Saintess… Stop wasting your spiritual energy. That strike has already shattered my elixir field and the spiritual energy is surging in my body. I may not live long. Ah, I really want to go back to the clan and tell Master that I didn't embarrass him…"
After murmuring these last words, Chen Chen rolled his eyes and fainted.
Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Waking Up In Shock
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Hearing these words, Qing Qian wept miserably while constantly imagining the pain and suffering that Chen Chen had been going through for more than a decade.
'He's such a good person… but he got injured because of me!'
After thinking about that, Qing Qian wiped her tears and her gaze was full of determination.
"Junior Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely send you to the Wuxin Clan!"
After muttering to herself, Qing Qian carried Chen Chen on her back and flew towards the distance.
After completely breaking away from the battlefield and realizing that the members of the Demon clan were no longer chasing them, Qing Qian took out a communication token.
"Father, I've escaped!"
An incredibly excited reply soon came from the other side of the communication token!
"Great! You actually escaped? That's wonderful! Where are you now? I'll go to meet you…"
At that point, he paused.
"Forget it, I'm seriously injured now and the people of the Wuxin clan won't let me go out, so it's better for me to guide you. Remember, you must be careful on the way."
"Yes!"
After giving that reply, Qing Qian put away the communication token.
…
Some time later, the sky gradually darkened.
Chen Chen, who was being carried on Qing Qian's back, began to panic.
'This Saintess is so nice. While flying, she even gave me some spiritual power.'
'Foundation Establishment cultivators fly slow to begin with and now, she's even slower.'
There were even several occasions where they almost plunged from the sky because of insufficient spiritual power to sustain the flying.
"Junior Brother Chen, don't worry, you've saved my life, so I won't abandon you!"
Qing Qian's face turned pale and she took out an elixir from her storage ring and swallowed it.
At this moment, she was already struggling with a man on her back while she soared through the sky. Besides, she had previously had her mental state affected when she was in the Demon clan. Hence, she was physically and mentally exhausted.
The fact that she didn't faint immediately meant that she was already very strong.
After regaining some spiritual power, Qing Qian tried to fly in the direction that she was instructed to but she was swaying in an unstable manner and was clearly relying on her determination to persist on.
Looking at the sweet but silly Qing Qian, Chen Chen felt a little guilty.
At the end of the day, he was still a good person, at least he thought so.
"When the turmoil between the two countries is settled, I will be a good person and never harm heaven and earth again!"
Chen Chen swore silently in his heart.
…
It was getting late at night.
Qing Qian finally stopped in the middle of a barren mountain range.
There wasn't a single shoot of grass in the mountain range, which was dead silent. Qing Qian took out her communication token and said, "Father, I'm here."
Hearing these words, Chen Chen's heart dropped, and he slipped into a coma.
A few moments later, the aura in the air suddenly trembled, after which a light door suddenly appeared in the void, and a disciple wearing the costume of the Wuxin Clan came out of it.
Seeing that the successor of the Qingling clan was carrying a person on her back, the disciple of the Wuxin Clan frowned slightly and said coldly, "The Wuxin Clan does not accept any outsiders!"
Hearing this, Qing Qian hurriedly said, "He is someone from the Wuxin clan, code name 9-5-4-7. He has been lurking in the Demon clan, and this time he was also the one who saved me!"
The Wuxin Clan disciple was a bit hesitant after he heard that. The Wuxin Clan did plant a disciple in the Demon clan, but his information was absolutely confidential and even some elders did not know, not to mention him.
"He is really from the Wuxin clan. In order to save me, he did not hesitate to expose his identity, and was even seriously injured!" Qing Qian was so anxious that she was about to cry.
'If the Wuxin clan does not allow Senior Brother Chen to enter, wouldn't he die?'
Without hesitation, the Wuxin Clan disciple grabbed Chen Chen's wrist and sensed something.
"His elixir field has been destroyed, that makes him useless. The Wuxin Clan doesn't need a useless person!"
Qing Qian's heart was chilly after she heard those words.
Rumor had it that most of the people of the Wuxin Clan were cold and ruthless, and now she had finally seen it for herself.
They wouldn't hesitate to abandon a disciple once they were crippled, even if they had been in the clan for more than ten years!
"Senior Brother, please let me take him in and save my father's life, I beg you. He saved my life after all!"
While speaking, Qing Qian took out a jade pendant from her storage ring, which was made up of mid-grade Spirit Stones that were carved with complicated patterns. At first glance, it seemed to be very valuable.
Looking at the jade pendant, that Wuxin Clan disciple chuckled gently and said, "Okay, but only for one day. Unless an elder comes to claim this disciple within a day, I will have to expel him."
After saying this, he took the jade pendant and placed it on his waist before making way.
A person with a crippled elixir field wouldn't cause an uproar in the Wuxin Clan.
Seeing this, Qing Qing hurriedly brought Chen Chen into the light door.
The light door then gradually disappeared, and the barren mountain range once again became silent again, as if it had never appeared before.
…
"The air in the Wuxin Clan is so fragrant!"
Chen Chen took a deep breath and her expression gradually turned evil.
The interior of the Wuxin Clan was like a palace with countless buildings. In terms of floor space alone, it would probably more than twice the Tianyun Clan!
Most importantly, the spiritual energy there was also extremely dense, far beyond the Tianyun Clan and national.
"System, is there anything of great value nearby?"
"Yes, three meters to your left, there are Spirit Stone bricks!"
"System…"
…
As Chen Chen walked, he asked the system questions and realized that there were treasures everywhere in the Wuxin Clan, which made him begin to feel excited.
He let his master Xiao Wuyou help the White Tiger clan and several other clans, and instructed the demon clan's army to go north to exert pressure on the Divine Blade Clan. Now, the Wuxin Clan had nine Nascent Soul realm powerhouses out on the battlefield!
Before this, the Wuxin Clan had a total of eight Nascent Soul realm powerhouses which people knew of.
That also meant that it was likely that there were no Nascent Soul existences in the clan anymore.
The strong protective arrays of the sect also gave them enough confidence to send all Nascent Soul powerhouses!
If Chen Chen was correct, the barrier of the clan's protective array would be at least five or six times stronger than that of the Qingling Clan's, which even the Nascent Soul realm powerhouses could not break through!
Besides, there was also a concealment formation outside, which completely hid the Wuxin Clan.
"Where on earth did this Wuxin clan get so many Spirit Stones to maintain such a formation all year round?"
Chen Chen marveled in his heart, and the next thing he knew, Qing Qing had already carried him to a courtyard.
The entrance of this courtyard was guarded by a Core Formation powerhouse who made Chen Chen nervous.
"Obedient daughter!"
As soon as they reached the compound, Qing Heng came out and burst into tears when he saw that Qing Qian was unharmed. God knows what kind of emotion he felt when he heard that threat from the Demon clan.
If not for his high cultivation level, he would have probably slipped into obsession immediately.
"Father… this Junior Brother rescued me. Can you see if there's a way to save him?" Qing Qian asked pleadingly, pointing at Chen Chen.
Seeing this, Qing Heng's expression turned bitter and she subconsciously looked at the Core Formation cultivator of the Wuxin Clan who was standing at the door. He said softly, "I'm seriously injured, I can't mobilize the spiritual energy in my body now!"
"How is this possible?" Qing Qian exclaimed in shock.
However, Qing Heng stopped talking and instead pulled her daughter into the house. She muttered, "The Wuxin Clan has sealed more than half of my cultivation level and they want me to hand over the Spirit Clearing Technique in one day…"
"What!?!" Qing Qian was astonished. 'Doesn't this mean that Father is being put on house arrest here!?'
Chen Chen, who had passed out, was also speechless. 'He's being put on house arrest and yet he asked his daughter to come over. This honest father is indeed not very bright.'
"The Qingling Clan has been occupied and long lost its value. The Wuxin Clan wants to snatch our ultimate technique and then continue to nurture cultivators who specialize in detoxification. That's normal. After all, the Wuxin Clan has always been impartial and merciless."
Qing Heng sighed and looked a little despondent.
In this chaotic world, clans like the Qingling Clan could survive only by attaching to strong clans, and the previous attachment to the Wuxin Clan was also a move made out of helplessness. They didn't expect to be kicked away after being made use of.
However, after a moment, he was relieved again.
"My good daughter, it's good that you're okay. I was going to take the Spirit Clearing Technique with me into the coffin but since you're alive, it's not necessary. At most, we'll give it to them and leave this place in the future to go elsewhere to help the world and save people."
"I'll follow your instructions, Father, please look at Junior Brother Chen!"
Although the Wuxin clan was vile, Qing Qian subconsciously dissociated Chen Chen who saved her from the Wuxin Clan.
Hearing this, Qing Heng began to take Chen Chen's pulse and soon, he began to realize that there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the man.
"He's not seriously hurt, but his elixir field has been destroyed, and it may have impacted his internal organs. I have two wound recovery pills here, take them and rest, he should be fine!"
As he spoke, Qing Heng took out two pills from the medicine bottle he had with him and fed them to Chen Chen.
Seeing Chen Chen's face gradually redden, Qing Qing looked a bit complicated.
'The people of the Wuxin clan are so heartless, I wonder if this Junior Brother will get his master's approval after meeting him.'
Thinking about this, she couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.
…
Late at night.
After being exhausted for an entire day, Qing Qian had already fallen asleep. Previously, Qing Heng had been worried about her and now that he was relieved, he finally slipped into deep slumber.
At this moment, Chen Chen suddenly woke up while being severely ill!
His gaze became extremely stern as he looked at a certain empty spot.
"Qingtian, stop hiding, it's time to start, let's work hard and not abduct anyone!"
