The Real Culprit?

The Five Major Barren Regions were vast in size and had hundreds of states and countless cities. As powerful as the Savage Wastes were, they were only able to conquer a few key posts and cities. It would take them thousands of years to fully digest what they had taken.

Once the main force of the Fiend Sects were eliminated, the cultivators from the Five Major Barren Regions fought back against the invaders, picking off the remaining Fiends one after another. Members of the Lin Family lead the way, slaughtering countless enemies.

By the end, only a very few perfected cultivators from the Fiend Sects got back to the Savage Wastes in one piece.

News about this battle was quickly swept across the Tianlan Region. Everyone heard the story of Chen Fan's incredible display of strength that drove the enemies away. Many people proposed to call Chen Fan the Master of Five Lands.
