"clang!"
"clang!"
"clang!"
When the deep bell rang, the entire Zongguan Mountain Gate suddenly seemed to come alive.
Beams of light converged from all directions toward the main hall.
When Bai Cang arrived at the main hall, there were already three five-toothed warships hovering in mid-air. Each one was as large as a mountain peak, and its hull was covered with array patterns and restrictions, flowing with spiritual light.
This is the most prized treasure ship of the Crimson Dragon Temple, and also a rare war weapon.
Each deployment consumes a massive amount of resources, making it a veritable gold-devouring behemoth, burning countless spirit jades every moment.
Corresponding to this enormous consumption is its terrifying offensive power.
In particular, the Five Elements Dragon Tooth Tide-Shooting Crossbow at the bow of the ship is known as "one arrow to pierce the sea, slay dragons and shoot the tide." Dragons below the Golden Core stage cannot withstand the power of a single arrow. It is also extremely effective against mountain-protecting formations. It is a powerful weapon for destroying mountains and temples and is not used lightly.
Once the "five-toothed warship" is deployed, there must be enough "sacrifices" to justify its massive consumption.
This battle was regarded by Yuan Tiangang and other high-ranking officials as Xia Guo Heshan Sect's "battle of showing its sword," a desperate gamble with a determination to win!
"brush!"
Bai Cang rode the blue clouds and flew onto the deck, where dozens of cold and sharp gazes instantly fixed on him.
However, they were soldiers clad in black armor, carrying flags and spears, and with long swords hanging from their waists.
This is another trump card of the Crimson Dragon General Observation: the Five Yin Ghost Riders!
Each of the Five Yin Ghost Riders was a congenital martial artist in their previous life. After being refined by secret methods, they were in a state between life and death. The flags and spears they carried were all monkey-style Yin Soul Banners, imprisoning a ten-year-old ghost.
Once in battle, the Five Yin Ghost Riders draw five ghosts into their bodies, unleashing a burst of combat power that rivals that of a Hundred Apertures cultivator.
Moreover, they are fearless and indifferent to pain and dread, always ready to perish together with the enemy.
The reason is that after the five ghosts enter the body, the five Yin ghost riders will not live for long anyway.
At most, they will die from exhaustion of their essence and blood within a short period of time; they are disposable.
However, the dead Five Yin Ghost Riders will not be wasted. As long as their corpses are intact, they are the best materials for refining corpse soldiers.
Another trump card of the Crimson Dragon General Sect: the Copper Armor Corpse Guards, many of whom were "transformed" from the Five Yin Ghost Riders.
Such a powerful pseudo-Taoist weapon is naturally quite valuable.
Throughout the entire Crimson Dragon Temple, the number of Five Yin Ghost Riders that have been maintained for a long time is only around five hundred.
This time, the campaign against the Water Palace involved the deployment of three hundred troops at once, which can be described as a huge investment!
In addition, numerous deacons, each wielding a magical weapon, led patrolling guards, pacing back and forth on the deck, exuding a menacing aura.
However, when they saw Bai Cang's face clearly, they all lowered their heads and said, "We pay our respects to Master Bai."
Bai Cang nodded, strolled leisurely across the deck, and stepped into the ship's upper deck.
"Bai Zhen Chuan".
"Greetings, Senior Brother Bai."
"Senior Brother Bai, it's been a long time. I hope you will take good care of me in this battle."
There were already more than ten inner disciples in the ship's tower. When they saw Bai Cang, they all stood up, bowed, and greeted him warmly, forming a scene of stars surrounding the moon.
Although Bai Cang had only recently joined the sect and ranked last among the nine true disciples, he had hardly interacted with anyone inside or outside the sect.
However, Bai Cang's "popularity" is surprisingly the highest among the nine true disciples, which means he has won the hearts of the people.
Apart from Yao Chonggu, who has already become the master of the miscellaneous courtyard, there is almost no Qi Refining cultivator below the Dao Foundation True Person level who is more popular than Bai Cang.
Even Li Chunfeng, who had painstakingly cultivated his power, paled in comparison to Bai Cang.
There's no way around it; that's just how arrogant a genius alchemist can be.
Among the inner disciples present, who hadn't received a "Nourishing Essence and Spirit Pill" as a return gift from Bai Cang? And who wouldn't want to establish a relationship with him?
"Hello, fellow disciples."
Bai Cang nodded, a gentle smile on his face, "I am late, I apologize for keeping you all waiting."
Upon hearing this, everyone said, "Senior Brother Bai has arrived just in time; we've come too early."
Seeing this scene.
Zhao Yunlong, sitting upright on the left side of the head seat, couldn't help but put on a frosty expression.
Seeing Bai Cang in such a glorious state was even more painful than killing him.
If his previous public expression of "dissatisfaction" with Bai Cang was indeed somewhat intended to sabotage Li Chunfeng, then he didn't actually take Bai Cang too seriously.
However, as Bai Cang rose to prominence against all odds, Zhao Yunlong's jealousy and hatred towards Bai Cang indeed deepened.
Especially Fang Baoliu, who had always been indifferent to him and whom he "loved but could not have," was getting very close to Bai Cang and was rumored to be Bai Cang's "lapdog," which made Zhao Yunlong even more jealous and resentful.
It hurts! It hurts my heart! It hurts so much!
He even had the illusion that Bai Cang was his "nemesis," which made him so jealous that his mind became twisted and his body was torn apart.
Whether it was Han Qinhu or Fang Baoliu, everything they could not obtain was readily available to Bai Cang.
How could he possibly accept this?
"Hmph! A scoundrel who seeks advancement, a slave to three masters!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yunlong's eyes suddenly sharpened, his cold gaze fixed on Bai Cang, and he said with a sneer, "You think you can climb the social ladder? You've probably chosen the wrong mountain."
"Such a cunning opportunist may thrive within the sect, but in this battle, it would be fortunate if he didn't hinder us. To expect him to protect you is simply wishful thinking!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned solemn and dared not speak to Bai Cang again.
Bai Cang glanced at Zhao Yunlong with some confusion, wondering where the other man's hatred came from.
Did I steal his wife? Or did I accidentally wipe out his entire family?
However, none of this mattered, and Bai Cang had absolutely no interest in arguing with him.
Why bother arguing with a dead man? Just find a chance to kill him!
Bai Cang merely glanced at Zhao Yunlong indifferently before sitting down on the cloud bed on the right side of the head of the table.
Ignoring it is the greatest contempt!
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yunlong's face turned bright red, like a pig's liver, and he began to breathe rapidly and tremble all over.
Just as he was about to say something, a beam of light suddenly descended and landed high on the throne.
"Zhao Yunlong, a major battle is imminent, can't you have a little sense of the bigger picture?"
Zhang Yuanfeng gave Zhao Yunlong a cold look and reprimanded him without any politeness: "Don't say such things that are detrimental to unity again."
"Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you!!!"
After saying that, he turned to Bai Cang and smiled gently, making no attempt to hide his bias.
What kind of joke is this?
On one side is the prospective son-in-law, and on the other is Zhou Ganzheng's disliked servant.
Does Zhang Yuanfeng not know whose side he should take?
If it weren't for the impending great battle, and the promise he made to Yuan Tiangang that day to stop fighting among themselves.
He absolutely had to find a reason to teach Zhao Yunlong a lesson and then kill him on the battlefield.
At this moment, under Zhang Yuanfeng's coercion, Zhao Yunlong dared not speak, but his heart was in turmoil, and he immediately entered a "red temperature" state.
Damn it! Is the whole world against me?
You damn brat, you just wait!
