Chapter 529 Each Goes to the Battlefield
As far as Wu Shaogan was concerned, he had plenty of means to protect himself, but his wife, A Cai, not only needed to be safe, but also needed a simulation room to assist in her research. Therefore, the ancient city should naturally be placed with his wife, A Cai.
With the shield hanging at his waist, Wu Shaogan's gentle gaze vanished, replaced by a blank expression as he stared ahead.
For a moment, the aura around him subsided.
Many disciples sensed that something was amiss.
Everyone is a very perceptive person. When a sudden, unusual feeling makes the hairs on their arms stand on end, it naturally makes them sense a crisis and prompts them to quickly search for the source of the crisis...
And just like that, they found their Wu Shaogan.
Many people couldn't help but think:
—Truly worthy of being a Level 7 Battle King! What terrifying intimidation!
—Everyone here has just come from the battlefield, but it's rare to see someone with the aura of Senior Brother Wu.
—Brother Wu seems quite different from usual now.
—I remember someone telling me that Senior Brother Wu is very easy to talk to.
—Is Senior Brother Wu really like this...?
It seems that many disciples noticed their companions were also surprised, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
Upon looking at each other, they realized that everyone's emotions were similar, and they were even able to exchange glances.
Some people's eyes flickered, as if they had some guesses.
—Could it be because Zhong Danwang isn't here?
—Our Senior Brother Zhong? It could really be him. Usually, the two of them are inseparable whenever they're together, but now there's only one of them, and I'm really not used to it.
—That's probably it.
Despite the speculation, none of the cultivators from the two factions dared to speak.
There's no other reason than the atmosphere was too terrifying.
Moreover, the number of people rushing to the aid this time is in the hundreds of thousands, so it's impossible for them all to be on the same warship.
The leader of the group they were in was Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan stood motionless on the deck, as if the air itself had frozen. It was a miracle they could even make eye contact; how could they dare to actually speak?
·
A little distance behind Wu Shaogan stood two familiar faces.
—That's right, it's Wu Dongxiao and Xuan Bing!
When Wu Shaogan was mustering his troops for this mission to aid Jiuyinmen, he brought along his two fellow disciples, Wu Xuan and Wu Shaogan.
It wasn't that he really wanted to lead the group, nor that he wanted to create any hardship for the protagonist. Rather, Wu Dongxiao simply couldn't stay idle and only wanted to fight those bastards from the Sun-Covering Alliance and earn another round of military merit.
Therefore, Wu Dongxiao volunteered himself, and also brought along his senior brother.
What can Xuanbing do?
He wasn't comfortable letting that unlucky guy Wu Dongxiao go alone.
Although Xuan Bing never said it, he did have a lingering worry. He always felt that Wu Dongxiao might easily disappear if he wasn't under his watchful eye—for a time, he was even very worried that his junior brother might suddenly disappear after he woke up from a nap—so much so that he couldn't sleep soundly and had to cultivate day and night.
His strength improved greatly as a result... which was a "byproduct" of his constant fear.
At this moment, Xuan Bing looked at Wu Shaogan and felt that his current state was very different from when Zhong Cai was by his side.
It was at this moment that his sleeve was tugged.
Xuan Bing didn't need to lower his head; he could tell from the force that it was his junior brother, the lively and restless Wu Dongxiao.
【What? 】
For some unknown reason, Xuanbing felt that it was not appropriate to speak now.
Wu Dongxiao's telepathic message rang out in his mind the very next instant.
[Senior brother! Uncle misses Uncle Zhong!]
Xuan Bing: "..."
If you miss someone, why get so worked up?
Wu Dongxiao, however, appeared terrified in his mind.
[It's not that I'm agitated, it's that my uncle looks like a freak. He's like he's dead the moment Uncle Zhong isn't around, it's terrifying. I have a feeling he's going to beat me up any second!]
Xuan Bing's lips twitched slightly.
You probably overestimate yourself.
Wu Dongxiao's lips twitched as well.
Xuan Bing has continued to transmit his voice.
[Since Junior Brother Wu misses Junior Brother Zhong so much, he probably won't have a single thought for you, so the idea of beating you up is absurd.]
After transmitting his voice, Xuan Bing suddenly paused and added a sentence.
But if you don't behave well under his watchful eye while you're on the battlefield, you might have a tough time.
Wu Dongxiao was momentarily speechless.
He immediately expressed his strong agreement.
That's right, senior brother.
Actually, Wu Dongxiao was just bored on the way. In the past, he would amuse himself by listening to other people chat and talk. But this time, his uncle made everyone else afraid to speak, so he could only chat with his senior brother.
As a result, I got roasted by my senior...
Never mind.
So what if I get criticized? It's better than being bored.
So Wu Dongxiao started making small talk with his senior brother, chatting idly.
The final result was that Xuanbing was left feeling helpless.
However, Xuan Bing had already developed the habit of always paying attention to his junior brother, and he had also played a significant role in cultivating this behavior in his junior brother, so he could only "reap what he sowed."
·
Wu Shaogan paid no attention to the flirtatious glances, winks, and whispered complaints behind him.
He simply stared straight ahead, a bright smiling face already appearing in his mind.
It's been half an hour since I left Acai, and I miss him.
Wu Shaogan sighed almost imperceptibly.
I miss him so much.
As he pondered this, Wu Shaogan placed his fingers on his waist and touched the shield hanging there.
This was something A-Cai specially found for him.
I miss Acai.
Wu Shaogan unconsciously gripped the shield and continued to rub it.
·
On the other side of the warship, a group of men with murderous intent stood at the bow.
The one in the lead, clad in armor, was none other than Jiang Chongguang.
Jiang Chongguang also brought along several palace masters who had a good relationship with him and were willing to step forward. However, each of them occupied a ship and was also responsible for protecting the disciples who came to their aid along the way.
As for Li Zhaotian... he was stationed inside the cabin of a level nine warship.
Jiang Chongguang didn't say much; he just kept walking and observing his surroundings.
Occasionally, his gaze would also sweep over his only disciple.
What is Shao doing?
—That shield is nice.
Jiang Chongguang looked away again.
·
When Jiang Chongguang and Wu Shaogan, master and disciple, were together, they rarely chatted except for exchanging martial arts experiences and the master instructing the disciple.
The same thing happened on the battlefield this time. After receiving the same mission, all that happened was that Wu Shaogan paid a visit to Jiang Chongguang, and Jiang Chongguang gave him a few more instructions on what to do on the battlefield.
·
The warships flew very fast, and in order to travel quickly, the level 9 warships carried other warships with them.
Therefore, at this speed, even though the location of the Sun-Covering Alliance was far from the Red Mist Mountain Range, it did not take long for the warship fleet to arrive at the battlefield—the Sun-Covering Mountain Range.
As they approached, many of the cultivators who came to their aid couldn't help but frown.
Simply put, the smell of blood was too strong.
It has a very pungent smell.
It felt as if every breath filled my mouth with the stench of blood.
At the same time, everyone saw hundreds of heretical cultivators fighting a female cultivator who was covered in wounds.
This female cultivator had a sharp fighting strategy and a high level of cultivation, but there were too many cultivators attacking her. Even though she had held out for several hours, her injuries were piling up. These injuries kept holding her back as time went on, and gradually brought her to her limit.
However, the female cultivator was lucky and happened to encounter reinforcements.
As one of the ringleaders who were named, now is the perfect time for Wu Shaogan to make his move.
His expression was indifferent, and a large bow had appeared in his arm without his knowledge.
Immediately, Wu Shaogan drew the large bow.
In a split second, a rain of arrows fell.
Although he seemed to have merely pulled the bowstring, the countless arrows rained down upon every evil path below.
Wu Shaogan had used this secret technique more than once; he did it casually, but it was particularly effective against multiple targets.
Therefore, those hundreds of evil cultivators who had trapped the female cultivator to the point of near exhaustion were quickly wiped out by this rain of arrows.
The female cultivator's movements were also very swift. No one knew how she used her methods, but she managed to absorb all the fallen evil cultivators with a gourd-shaped mystic artifact.
The haphazardly laid corpses of the evil cultivators on the ground vanished completely.
Then, the female cultivator rose into the air, hovering about ten feet away from the first warship. She cupped her hands in greeting and said sincerely, "Lin Zhaoyue of the Nine Sounds Sect thanks you all for saving my life!"
As she spoke, she sent the gourd toward Wu Shaogan.
"Brother Wu, please accept this."
It is obvious that Lin Zhaoyue knows Wu Shaogan.
The corpse of the evil cultivator will drop a lot of resources after being processed. These are Wu Shaogan's spoils of war and he cannot keep them all to himself under any circumstances.
Wu Shaogan did not refuse and directly took the gourd, storing the evil corpse inside into his empty mustard seed ring, planning to deal with it later through logistics. He then returned the gourd to Lin Zhaoyue.
At the same time, Wu Shaogan said, "We have come to your aid, so there's no need to be polite."
Lin Zhaoyue laughed heartily and then bowed to the palace masters on the warships.
Then she saw a familiar figure walking out of the cabin.
It's the Supreme Elder!
Yes, the Supreme Elder mentioned that his clone was still stationed on the battlefield, while he himself went to the battlefield in the Red Mist Mountain Range to seek help.
I didn't expect you to be back so soon.
They even brought so many reinforcements, saving her life!
Li Zhaotian said, "Zhaoyue, come aboard too, and heal your wounds first."
Lin Zhaoyue boarded the ship as ordered.
She is actually quite famous, not only as the daughter of the sect leader of the Nine Sounds Sect, but also as the only cultivator in the sect to have made it onto the seventh level of the Sky Ranking.
That's why she recognized Wu Shaogan's image.
However, Lin Zhaoyue was ranked in the seventies or eighties, which was much inferior to Wu Shaogan, and the difference in combat strength was also significant.
Meanwhile, the Spirit Transformation cultivators and Level 7 Alchemists on the War God Temple side also recognized Lin Zhaoyue.
·
After Lin Zhaoyue boarded the ship, she found an empty cabin, sat cross-legged, and took pills to heal her injuries.
—She was lured to this relatively remote place by the evil sects and ambushed, but she was lucky enough to survive.
But the injuries are severe and require immediate treatment...
The warships continued flying towards the battlefield in the Sun-Covering Mountains.
·
While Zhong Cai was busy studying the medical records with the people from the Lingxian Sect and the War God Hall, he also made sure that Gu Cheng would absorb the level-nine resource Gale Wings on its own, which would then increase Gu Cheng's speed.
From now on, the ancient city's movement speed should be comparable to that of a normal cultivator at the Tongtian realm.
