Xiuzhu nodded: "He sent me here to borrow someone from you!"
"Borrow someone? Borrow what kind of person?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Shu Yiyao's beautiful eyes.
"Ten Nascent Soul cultivators!"
Xiuzhu gritted her teeth and said a number.
Chen Tianwen had only instructed her to come and demand the person.
She wasn't told the exact number of people.
Ten people was the maximum number she estimated the Chifeng Mercenary Group could handle.
Upon hearing that Xiuzhu wanted to borrow ten Nascent Soul cultivators.
Shu Yiyao neither agreed nor refused.
Instead, he asked, "May I ask, Lord Chen, what are you planning to do with these people?"
"Is that so..."
Xiuzhu recounted the events in general terms, including the invasion of the sea creatures and Chen Tianwen's instructions to seek help.
As for the others...
Since she was also unclear about the relationship between Shu Yiyao and Chen Tianwen, she did not discuss it in detail.
"...That's the situation. Commander Shu, please consider the safety of Elder Chen and the millions of lives lost in Qingzhou, and send some reinforcements..."
As she finished speaking, Xiuzhu's voice carried a hint of pleading.
After listening to Xiuzhu's words.
A hint of surprise flashed in Shu Yiyao's eyes.
The Shu family was a powerful force that spanned ancient times.
They naturally knew the gravity of the sea creature invasion.
Every invasion is a catastrophe that brings devastation and death to the races on the continent.
But... such a severe calamity.
Chen Tianwen actually only allowed the Shu family and the Chifeng Mercenary Group to send ten Nascent Soul cultivators!
With the Chifeng Mercenary Group and the Shu family behind her, it wouldn't be a problem to gather dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators.
Chen Tianwen only asked him for ten, and even then, it was under the guise of "borrowing." Did he think of him as an outsider?
"Mr. Chen, have you forgotten that he is still the Supreme Elder of my Shu family?!"
A sense of resentment arose in Shu Yiyao's heart.
No, this can't be done. We must let Mr. Chen know that he is still the head of the Shu family.
Shu Yiyao smiled slightly, a strange light flashing in her eyes, and said calmly, "No."
The moment those two words were uttered, Xiuzhu's heart sank to the bottom.
He thought he had overestimated the relationship between Chen Tianwen and the Chifeng Mercenary Group.
He immediately gritted his teeth and said, "If Commander Shu really can't spare any more people, sending five or six Nascent Soul cultivators will do."
Hearing Xiuzhu's words, Shu Yiyao smiled and shook her head.
"Senior misunderstood. When I said no, I meant no, ten Nascent Soul cultivators were not enough."
"The invasion of the sea creatures concerns every human being; how can we stand idly by!"
Shu Yiyao's words left Xiuzhu stunned on the spot.
She hadn't expected that Shu Yiyao's "no" meant this.
Shu Yiyao continued, "...Besides, this was something Mr. Chen instructed us to do. He is the supreme elder of our Shu family, and his word is law!"
Shu Yiyao paused deliberately when she heard the words "Supreme Elder," and then, as if having made up her mind, said, "How about this, I'll send twenty Nascent Soul cultivators with you to provide support."
Hearing Shu Yiyao's words.
A look of surprise appeared in Xiuzhu's eyes.
She originally thought that getting ten Nascent Soul cultivators on this trip would be enough.
Unexpectedly, Shu Yiyao was so generous, offering twenty Nascent Soul cultivators in one go.
This is almost half the power of a large force.
Shu Yiyao just handed it over like that!
Although the stated reason is for the sake of millions of lives, and for the greater good.
But the main intention was to please and win over Chen Tianwen.
Having held a high position for many years, Xiuzhu was naturally able to see it.
Cutting off her thoughts, Xiuzhu cupped her hands in thanks: "Thank you, Commander Shu..."
I haven't finished saying thank you yet.
But Shu Yiyao suddenly interrupted him, saying, "Twenty Nascent Soul cultivators are still too few."
Shu Yiyao seemed to have a thoughtful look in his eyes as he said, "Senior Xiuzhu, please take twenty Nascent Soul cultivators ahead. I will gather thirty more Nascent Soul cultivators and we will set off for Qingzhou in a month!"
Shu Yiyao's voice was firm.
She was now eager to demonstrate the strength of the Chifeng Mercenary Group and the Shu family to Chen Tianwen!
At the same time, I also want to remind Chen Tianwen that the Shu family are not outsiders!
Fifty Nascent Soul cultivators!
Shu Yiyao's eyes were practically overflowing with surprise.
This is already close to the current number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Divine Sword Sect.
Fifty Nascent Soul cultivators, if placed in any state, could form a large force.
But Shu Yiyao just casually brought it out.
This level of support far exceeds the average level.
It should be noted that Chen Tianwen, the head of the Chen family, only dispatched twenty Nascent Soul cultivators to provide support.
Shu Yiyao was unaware of Xiuzhu's shock.
He was still talking to himself, saying, "If I could have two more months, I could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and I would have a better chance of success then."
Shu Yiyao's voice carried a hint of regret.
She has been at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for three years, and her Nascent Soul has recently opened its eyes, just one step away from becoming a Deity.
If she were given another two months to return to the Shu family's ancestral land for quiet cultivation, she was confident that she could directly break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
The difference in strength between Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation is like heaven and earth!
Unfortunately, the timing of this sea creature invasion was too coincidental, falling right at this inopportune moment.
"It seems I'll have to slow down my breakthrough."
She's still young; it won't matter if we delay a bit.
Moreover, Chen Tianwen has already broken the curse of defying fate to become an immortal. With her talent, it's only a matter of time before she breaks through to the Fusion stage.
Moreover, after this period of trying...
