"Let her in."

Chen Tianwen gave the instructions.

Since arriving in Yunzhou, he had not heard any news about the Divine Sword Sect for a long time.

I don't know what happened.

"I'll bring her to see you right away."

Chen Jiuzhe nodded and respectfully withdrew.

Not long after, he returned to the Sutra Repository with a purple figure.

I saw Chen Tianwen.

A glint flashed in Xiuzhu's eyes, and she immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Chen Tianwen nodded: "Elder Xiuzhu, no need for formalities."

Although he hadn't handled much sect affairs, he still recognized several Nascent Soul elders within the sect.

Xiuzhu calmly stood up, and Chen Tianwen continued, "What happened in the sect that made you come to find me in person?"

Xiuzhu paused for a moment, then remained silent, only glancing at Chen Jiuzhe beside her.

Seeing this, Chen Tianwen smiled and said, "It's alright, we're all on the same side."

Seeing that Chen Tianwen had no objection, Xiuzhu immediately said, "The sea race has invaded, and most of Yuzhou has fallen. They are already close to Qingzhou. The prefecture government has asked our four major sects for help, requesting support from cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage. Elder Xia asked me to invite you back to take charge of the overall situation."

Xiuzhu briefly explained the current situation.

Chen Jiuzhe, standing to the side, flashed a look of surprise in his eyes: "The Sea Clan? They haven't made a move for five thousand years, why are they suddenly logging in again?!"

The threat of the sea creatures once swept across the entire continent, and some of the Chen family's ancestors perished in the waves of resisting the sea creatures' invasion.

That's why Chen Jiuze was so surprised when he heard that the sea creatures were invading again.

Chen Tianwen also frowned.

With the Qilin Divine Treasury in his mind, he naturally had a clearer understanding of the wars between the sea and land in ancient times.

"Do you have any more details?"

Why did the sea creatures break the pact and reignite this war?

Chen Tian asked again.

Xiuzhu shook her head: "The report from the government was very urgent. As soon as Elder Xia learned of this news, he instructed me to come and find you."

The nine provinces of the Ming Dynasty were separated by natural barriers and dangerous terrain, making communication very difficult.

Otherwise, Qingzhou wouldn't have only learned of the situation and sought help from the four major sects after half of Yuzhou had fallen.

Thinking of this, Xiuzhu cupped her hands and pleaded with Chen Tianwen, "The sea tribe's army may enter Qingzhou at any time, but our sect has less than half of its members capable of fighting. Please, sect leader, return to the sect as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."

Her voice was pleading.

After a fierce battle with the Blood Fiend Sect, all the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Divine Sword Sect, except for Qing Lian, perished.

Only one-third of the Nascent Soul elders are able to fight.

If it weren't for Chen Tianwen.

The Divine Sword Sect couldn't even dream of swallowing up the Blood Fiend Sect.

It's still uncertain whether these four major sects can retain their positions.

After listening to Xiuzhu's words, Chen Tianwen immediately nodded and said, "No problem, but this matter is of great importance, so we need to make some preparations first."

"Prepare?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Xiuzhu's eyes.

Chen Tian asked, "It's enough that people can go back. What else do we need to prepare?"

But then Chen Tianwen stood up, turned to Chen Jiuzhe, and asked, "How many Nascent Soul cultivators can the Chen family field right now?"

Chen Jiuzhe pondered for a while and said, "Currently, the main branch of the Chen family has twenty-seven Nascent Soul cultivators serving as elders. If we include the branch branches, we can barely gather forty elders who are at least Nascent Soul cultivators."

During this period, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chen family taking over the main branch in the desolate city, he took stock of all the strengths that the Chen family could currently offer.

It was discovered that the combined strength of the collateral branches should not be underestimated.

I overheard their conversation.

A glint of light flashed in Xiuzhu's eyes.

She instantly understood what Chen Tianwen meant by "preparation".

"Forty Nascent Soul cultivators?"

Chen Tianwen pondered for a moment and said, "Send half of them to Qingzhou with me to fight against the sea tribe's invasion!"

Twenty Nascent Soul cultivators!

Upon hearing this number...

Xiuzhu's heart was instantly filled with excitement.

This number is already more than the number of Nascent Soul elders that the Divine Sword Sect can currently mobilize.

However, Chen Jiuzhe did not immediately agree. Instead, a look of worry flashed in his eyes as he said, "Patriarch, if these twenty elders are transferred away, our Chen family's defenses will inevitably be weakened. If other forces..."

Chen Jiuze offered a brief reminder and then said no more.

The Chen family does not have a good relationship with other large forces, especially the Lu family, which is also one of the three major families.

If they find out that the Lu family only has half a Nascent Soul cultivator guarding the area, who knows what kind of trouble they might cause.

Chen Tianwen instantly understood Chen Jiuze's meaning.

He narrowed his eyes, a strange glint in them, and said, "Resisting the sea race is a major event that concerns everyone, not just the Chen family. Other forces naturally cannot stand aside!"

Upon hearing Chen Tianwen's words, a strange light flashed in Chen Jiuzhe's eyes.

"Master, you mean..."

Almost instantly, he understood the hidden meaning in Chen Tian's question.

"That's right!"

Chen Tianwen nodded: "You should immediately send someone to inform the entire state of the sea tribe's invasion and recruit people of goodwill to resist the sea tribe together."

Chen Tianwen's voice carried an unyielding will.

"What about the two major families?" Chen Jiuze asked again.

Chen Tianwen smiled and said, "I will personally visit those two families to borrow people!"

Hearing Chen Tianwen's words.

A glint of light flashed in Chen Jiuze's eyes.

Even when Chen Tianwen personally came to the door.

He didn't believe that any force would dare to refuse.

But a hint of anxiety flashed in Xiuzhu's eyes on the other side.
