Although the rebuilt Yunfei City was not as grand in scale as Cloud Sky City, its strength was not inferior to any of the superpowers in the Eastern Domain due to the massive resources Lin Chen had transported there.
Looking at the newly built Yunfei City, everyone was filled with excitement, for they were the soldiers of this city.
The defensive capabilities of Yunfei City were particularly outstanding. Concerned that Bodhi Hall might betray the Divine Flame Alliance, Lin Chen had strengthened Yunfei City’s defenses.
After a year of construction, Yunfei City’s defenses were now sufficient to withstand an attack from Bodhi Hall.
The soldiers of Yunfei City had also been expanded and trained. Though not as regularized as Cloud Sky City’s army, their strength had improved far beyond what it was a year ago, and combined with the city’s formations, Yunfei City could effectively resist the large forces of Bodhi Hall.

Lin Chen planned to turn Yunfei City into a second Cloud Sky City to withstand the attacks from Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race forces.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen himself had established a rigorous defense line near the Divine Flame Sect, resisting the onslaught from Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race forces.
On the front lines, the armies of Red Soul Hall and the Dark Demon Race were unrelenting, yet their movements were puzzling.
People speculated that Red Soul Hall might be in collusion with the Dark Demon Race, which could explain this situation.
Under Lin Chen’s training, the various armies had now acquired combat power tantamount to that of the Jade Cauldron Sect’s forces, and were equipped with magic treasure suits specifically refined by Lin Chen to combat the Dark Demon Race.
To enhance the cohesion of the army, they were united under the name "Lin family army," which immediately received unanimous consent from all the commanders.
After all, their survival from the Luoyun Mountain Range was entirely due to Lin Chen.
"Red Soul Hall really thinks highly of our Divine Flame Sect, dispatching four Nirvana Realm experts. If it weren’t for my emergence from seclusion, I fear the Divine Flame Sect would have hardly escaped calamity," said the Hall Master.
"Young Master Lin Chen, be careful in this battle," someone warned.
At this moment, beside Lin Chen stood a beautiful matron, reminding him to be cautious of the approaching battle.
This woman, named Du Ya, was a Fifth-level Nirvana Realm ancestor of the Divine Flame Sect.
Over the past decade, Du Ya had been in seclusion, and so many of the Divine Flame Sect disciples were unaware of her existence.
Previously, when Lin Chen visited the Divine Flame Sect and heard Liu Qingxia was planning to seclude herself, he suggested she wait until after the battle to solidify her cultivation.
However, Liu Qingxia’s reaction puzzled Lin Chen, why she would react so strongly.
Fortunately, Liu Qingxia’s seclusion was due to the emergence of Du Ya, the old ancestor of the Divine Flame Sect, which eased Lin Chen’s worries.
What Lin Chen did not know was that several months after Liu Qingxia went into seclusion, she gave birth to a child.
Liu Qingxia was incredibly fond of the child, something unimaginable to her before as she had willingly decided to bear a man’s child.
A few months earlier, shortly after returning with Lin Chen, Liu Qingxia discovered she was pregnant and naturally knew the child belonged to Lin Chen.
Because of the pregnancy, her combat ability was compromised, not suited for battle and potentially endangering the fetus, so she decided to seclude herself for childbirth.
Liu Qingxia was well aware that many in the Eastern Domain, including powerful individuals like Hall Master Lian Ping of Bodhi Hall, were after her.
If these people knew that not only had Liu Qingxia taken a man but also bore a child, Lin Chen might face their envy and retaliation.
Liu Qingxia didn’t want such a thing to occur, so she decided to hide and give birth in secret.
Liu Qingxia couldn’t bear to abort the child, and as she hesitated, Du Ya emerged from seclusion, an event that brought relief to her.
Du Ya was shocked to learn of Liu Qingxia’s pregnancy. She suspected whether Liu Qingxia had been coerced, as the leaders of the Divine Flame Sect had traditionally been virgins.
But Liu Qingxia’s demeanor indicated that the pregnancy was voluntary, not by force.
Left with no choice, Du Ya had to respect Liu Qingxia’s decision, although she kept inquiring about the identity of the child’s father, which Liu Qingxia refused to reveal.
At this moment, in the seclusion area of the Divine Flame Sect, Liu Qingxia held a baby in her arms, her face full of doting affection, a stark contrast to her usual aloofness.
This exquisitely carved child was just born today by Liu Qingxia, who, despite the painful birth process, successfully delivered the child due to her status as a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.
This child was somewhat special, from birth till now, he had been very well-behaved, never crying or fussing.
Just as Liu Qingxia gently swayed the baby to comfort him to sleep, a powerful aura suddenly burst forth from the infant’s body.
