Only then did Chu Yao and the others notice the illusory figure.
At first, I didn't care about the other person's existence.
In this world, nothing is surprising.
Until Shen Tang went over to talk to him.
The illusory figure was hidden in the shadow of a hood, with only a section of its smooth chin visible. From this, it could be inferred that the person appeared to be quite young. Chu Yao and the others speculated that the nature of this illusory figure was similar to Ning Yan's [Falsehood].
"It is my honor to be driven by my god."
Shen Tang narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, tilted her head, and sighed softly.
"Little friend, you are still so polite."
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of the illusory figure.
"Not now, I'll find you to play next time."
The illusory figure nodded slightly: "Waiting for my god."
Snap!
A snap of the fingers.
The illusory figure vanished from the spot.
Seeing this, Gu Ren could no longer help but step forward: "Prefect Shen, wait! Does Prefect Shen know this High Priest of the Gongxi tribe?"
Shen Tang stretched and yawned.
"What Gongxi tribe high priest?"
She looked at Gu Ren with clear eyes, her little face full of doubt.
Gu Ren: "That illusory figure from just now."
Shen Tang thought carefully: "You mean children?"
He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't know any Gongxi tribe high priests, but the child is indeed a high priest."
Gu Ren was even more puzzled by her answer, but he still didn't forget his purpose and said urgently, "Little friend? Then can Prefect Shen tell me where this 'little friend' is? I have something very important to ask for his help... If Prefect Shen can help, then in the future, as long as it doesn't violate morality, I will do anything for Prefect Shen, even if it means going through fire and water!"
Shen Tang obediently shook her head again: "I don't know."
Gu Ren asked anxiously, "When did Prefect Shen meet him?"
Shen Tang said, "Youli doesn't know him."
Gu Ren: "..."
Shen Tang pouted as if she were scared, hid behind Chu Yao and the others, and pitifully covered her head with her hands: "You Li only knows that he is a child, but You Li does not know where the child is, nor does she remember when she met him. You Li does not know anything."
Gu Ren was baffled by Shen Tang's logic.
"But……"
Chu Yao raised his hand to stop Gu Ren from stepping forward. He said solemnly, "My lord is seriously injured, his mind is confused and disordered. I'm afraid he cannot answer Prefect Gu. Even if it is a matter of utmost importance, we should wait until this battle is over and my lord has recovered from his injuries."
Gu Ren eventually managed to restrain himself.
He lowered his hand and sighed, "There's no other way."
Gu Ren returned defeated.
Huang Lie and Zhang He exchanged a glance.
The former stood up, walked to Chu Yao's side, and bowed to him.
Chu Yao returned the greeting: "Greetings, Alliance Leader Huang."
He knew why Huang Lie had come and handed over Jiang Ao's head.
Huang Lie held Jiang Ao's head high, focused his energy, and used his martial aura to spread his voice across the battlefield: "Jiang Ao, the garrison commander of Chaoli Pass, has been beheaded by the prefect of Longwu County. Now, the traitor's head is here!"
boom--
The impact of this news was earthquake-level.
The morale of the troops at Chao Le Pass visibly waned, the morale clouds above each legion trembling violently before thinning considerably. On the front lines, fear gripped the soldiers of Chao Le Pass, while the allied forces, their morale soaring, unleashed a torrent of drumbeats that overwhelmed the enemy! In another battleground, soldiers, aided by the [Flooding Seven Armies] buff, pierced straight into the heart of the enemy formation.
Kang Shi shouted, "It's done!"
He silently cried out, "My lord is mighty!" to save him from dire straits.
He was just in a terrible predicament.
His bad luck manifested in every aspect; wherever he went, he encountered the elite of the elite, resulting in immense pressure on the battlefield. During the same period, the number of enemy attacks he suffered was two to three times that of his allies.
Even Yu Zi, who was an official, was hit in the arm by a stray arrow. Fortunately, the arrow was formed from martial energy and was not contaminated with any kind of poison or disgusting golden liquid, so the risk of infection was not high. Unfortunately, the arrowhead was peculiarly shaped and could not be pulled out once it was embedded in the flesh. If it was pulled out, the arrowhead would shred the flesh of her wound into a piece of rotten flesh!
The only way to get the arrow is—
Yu Zi, expressionless, forcefully pierced the arrow through her arm.
He used a dagger to cut off the arrow shaft before removing it.
Immediately nourish the wound with warming herbs to stop the bleeding.
Yu Zi cursed loudly, "What do you mean 'accept'! I almost died! Kang Jishou, couldn't you have found someone else to replace me?!"
Kang Shi was so guilty that he dared not utter a word.
Yu Zi has indeed suffered an undeserved misfortune this time.
The previously stalemate in the battle began to tip in favor of the allied forces as Huang Lie raised Jiang Ao's head. The greater their advantage, the stronger their morale; and the stronger their morale, the further their advantage would widen. However, defeating the troops at Chaoli Pass was not easy.
at the same time--
Shen Tang also squatted uncomfortably on the ground.
Her cheeks were flushed, and you could feel the burning heat just by getting close: "Chu Yaoyao, Youli seems to have a fever."
The war was still raging, and Chu Yao, worried about Wei Shou causing trouble, left only a wisp of his avatar to protect Shen Tang. His main body went to reminisce with his childhood sweetheart. Chu Yao's avatar gently touched Shen Tang's forehead with the back of his hand, and was startled by the intense heat: "Your forehead is so hot?"
Shen Tang said, "Youli is feeling so uncomfortable..."
He added, "It looks like there are insects gnawing at the base of the young pear..."
He asked him for help: "Chu Yaoyao, go find the children."
Chu Yao, in his avatar, had no idea how to find the illusory figure. He then heard Shen Tang say in a whimpering voice, "Find some insecticide. If you don't have insecticide, a woodpecker will do... Young Pear is sick."
Chu Yao said with concern, "Find a military doctor to take a look."
Shen Tang countered, "Can military doctors catch bugs?"
Chu Yao, in disguise: "...Catching bugs?"
Shen Tang's eyes welled up with tears: "The young pear has worms in it."
Chu Yao's avatar: "..."
"My lord thinks he's a tree infested with worms," Gu Chi, in his avatar, said languidly. "What's so difficult about getting rid of worms?"
He can do it too, why go to the trouble of looking for something far away?
However, Shen Tang's state didn't last long. She remained in a squatting position, her forehead tilted forward. Chu Yao, in his guise, used his hand to support her until the temperature under his palm gradually returned to normal, and her restless sleeping face calmed down peacefully…
Gu Chihua looked at Shen Tang with a complicated expression.
Unaware outsiders would assume those conversations were just "childish ramblings," but he knew many secrets that even Chu Yao and Qi Shan were unaware of. Not long after, Shen Tang slowly opened her eyes and found that her gaze was very low, and her forehead was still pressed against Chu Yao's palm.
"I...I just fainted?"
Shen Tang's thoughts were in complete disarray at this moment.
But soon, memories from before I drifted off to sleep flooded my mind.
Shen Tang: "!!!"
Her money!!!
His expression twisted instantly, and his facial features shifted accordingly.
"Hanzhang—my money!!!"
The voice was shrill and mournful, as if the parents of the deceased had been lost.
She felt even her own back looked gloomy!
Shen Tang's voice was full of energy, unlike the cold indifference he had when drunk, or the naive sweetness he had displayed after his mental decline. Gu Chi smiled with relief. This was the lord he knew! He said, "Money is just an external thing; we can earn more."
Shen Tang nearly collapsed forward in frustration, her head hitting the ground.
Thinking of Xun Zhen, she thought of Jiang Ao, the real culprit who had burdened her with debt. Her heart was filled with boundless hatred, and she wished she could grind him to dust: "Where is Jiang Ao? Where is that old bastard? Damn it, if I don't beat that son of a bitch to a pulp today and turn him into human sashimi, then I'll have failed all the years of training I've put into the Motherly Sword!"
Shen Tang jumped up and rolled up his sleeves.
He seemed determined to settle things with Jiang Ao to the death.
Huang Lie handed over a severed head: "Jiang Ao's head is here."
Shen Tang stared blankly at the lifeless face, nearly speechless with shock: "Holy crap? Who did this?"
Jiang Aoren's head was just taken off like that?
Huang Lie understood the next sentence: "Prefect Shen".
Shen Tang subconsciously replied, "What is it?"
Huang Lie said, "It was Prefect Shen who beheaded him."
Shen Tang: "..."
Shen Tang: "???"
Shen Tang: "!!!"
She pointed to herself: "Me?"
Did she eat spinach while she was unconscious?
Wow, I'm actually this awesome?
However, similar things had happened before, and the outcomes were always good. Now was not the time to dwell on the truth. After much thought, she attributed it to the fact that this body had a powerful origin and triggered a protective mechanism in a moment of crisis, allowing her to AFK and gain experience.
only--
Will using cheats really get your account banned?
I looked up at the overcast sky with considerable worry.
Gu Chi asked softly, "What will happen if my account is banned?"
Shen Tang shook her head: "I don't know."
Gu Chi: "But I only recognize you as my lord."
He became increasingly curious about the secrets hidden within his lord.
As for Shen Tang's concerns, he hadn't worried about them at all. Whether she was drunk or her mind was blank, it was just one side of her. Once he accepted this, Gu Chi could calmly deal with any bizarre events that might occur.
To outsiders, their conversation sounded like a cryptic exchange.
Huang Lie wanted to say something to test her, but Shen Tang, already full of fighting spirit, drew her long sword. She couldn't stay in the rear for even a moment longer.
Although Chao Li Pass lost Jiang Ao, a 16th-rank Grandmaster, and its overall morale plummeted, it showed no signs of collapse. Compared to Shen Tang's severely underdeveloped team, Chao Li Pass had quite a few capable martial artists to offer.
This is also the main reason why the front line did not completely collapse.
"Your ancestors have returned!"
Shen Tang was about to make an arrogant announcement, but then—
As if sensing something, she looked up at the sky above Chaoli Pass, where a giant hand emerged from the clouds of morale on one side of Chaoli Pass.
How big is this hand?
With a single palm, half the battlefield is covered.
Shen Tang and the others' expressions instantly turned serious.
Clearly, the owner of this hand belongs to Chaoliguan.
As expected—
A majestic male voice rang out from beneath the sky.
"Who killed Jiang Qianshen?"
Shen Tang said, "It's me!"
The giant index finger pointed at Shen Tang: "You?"
Shen Tang retorted defiantly, "So what if it's me?"
The giant hand instantly solidified into a burly man with a solid physique. This man was fully armed, and his aura was powerful, definitely surpassing Jiang Ao's. However, Shen Tang was not flustered, because the other party was not the real body, but merely an avatar that could not last.
The other party said, "He should be executed!"
Shen Tang was amused by the other party's pretentious manner.
Damn, they're all so good at pretending.
It would be a waste of talent not to sell oneself to work on an assembly line!
The posture was quite intimidating, and the aura looked very intimidating, but this avatar's strength was only around the fifteenth level of the Lesser Upper Realm.
Haha, she can fight!
Wei Shou spoke to his childhood friend across the crowd.
"Chu Liangliang, aren't you worried about your lord?" The avatar is not something that someone like Jiang Ao, who got in through connections, can compare to.
"My lord needs no of your concern."
Wei Shou only needs to mind his own business.
After saying that, he became even more ruthless.
Wei Shou looked at Chu Yao with a headache.
The initial boost from the "one-shot" approach has long since worn off. After the "second wave" and the "third wave" approach, it seems that Chu Yao, that old man, has taken some kind of magic pill and is even more impulsive and aggressive than when he was young.
Given this situation, our outlook is not optimistic.
The faces of the allied soldiers were not very good.
There's no other reason than that the avatar that arrived was an old rival.
Another 16th-rank Grand Master under Zheng Qiao.
Jiang Ao had only recently entered the sixteenth-level Grand Upper Realm and had not yet solidified his foundation; his aura was still frivolous, and his true strength lay between the fifteenth-level Junior Upper Realm and the sixteenth-level Grand Upper Realm. Even so, Shao Chong and Shen Tang fought so hard at the beginning, ending up covered in bruises. But the original body of this avatar was different; he had successfully advanced several years ago and made great contributions to Zheng Qiao's hegemony.
This same man led his troops to defeat the allied forces, leaving them completely disoriented.
With no one to restrain the sixteenth-level Grandmaster, it would be a meaningless sacrifice to send in more of our high-level martial arts warriors...
Now, Shen Tang is challenging the other party in person.
"Should be executed? You think you're worthy?" Shen Tang laughed angrily. "The last person who bragged like this is drinking Meng Po soup right now!"
Regardless, Jiang Ao is indeed dead.
The avatar displayed remarkable composure, remaining unperturbed by Shen Tang's few words. He merely raised his hand, summoning his weapon with a cold expression, and calmly (pretentiously) declared: "You merely managed to defeat that piece of trash Jiang Qianshen by sheer luck, yet you think you can truly threaten a sixteenth-rank Grand Master? You're far too naive. I'll show you what a 'natural barrier' truly is!"
Shen Tang was on high alert.
Despite her brave words, she's actually quite uncertain. She's not at her peak right now, and she knows absolutely nothing about the enemy, having no intelligence whatsoever. If she doesn't exercise caution and engages in battle rashly, she'll likely suffer a great loss.
The avatar merely delivered a casual blow to her.
A crimson wave crashed down on Shen Tang.
Wherever it passed, it seemed as if thousands of eagles were crying out.
But upon closer inspection, these were not thousands of eagles and falcons, but rather, within the crimson waves, the faces of ferocious ghosts. They were densely packed together, their eyes filled with greed as if they were seeing Tang Sanzang's flesh when they saw Shen Tang.
Shen Tang: "..."
She narrowly escaped.
Upon closer inspection, however, there was no ghost at all.
It's just an ordinary air blade...
She frowned slightly, realizing that the other person was somewhat strange.
It seems to possess abilities similar to mental attacks.
Before I could even stand firm, a sharp blade came at me from behind.
The air was thick with the nauseating stench of decay.
But she soon realized that it was also an illusion.
Shen Tang: "..."
She never expected that the same setback she hadn't suffered against Jiang Ao would befall her by an avatar. Fortunately, Shao Chong, seeing the situation was dire, came to her aid. Seeing her ashen face, Shao Chong asked, "Shen Jun, can you still hold on?"
Shen Tang forced a smile and said, "Of course."
Shao Chong's martial energy had only recovered to 60%. Knowing that they were in such a state, they probably wouldn't fare well against this avatar, even if the opponent was only at the 15th level of the Lesser Upper Realm. So he said, "Shen Jun, if you can't hold on, let's run away."
Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best.
Shen Tang: "The martial energy avatar can't last too long."
It's not like any incarnation is entirely fictitious.
Under normal circumstances, neither the literary nor the martial aura can stray far from the main body. The greater the distance, the greater the energy consumption, the shorter the duration, and the inability to receive replenishment from sources outside the main body. Shen Tang surmised that Zheng Qiao wouldn't bring out both of his sixteenth-rank Grand Masters, meaning that this person's main body was very far from Chaoli Pass…
They just need to persist until the incarnation can no longer persist.
Shao Chong chose to listen to Chen Tang.
"good!"
Unfortunately, the two young men were not true sixteenth-level Grand Masters, and coupled with the misleading influence of the inexperienced Jiang Ao, they overestimated themselves and underestimated their opponent. As a result, they were chased around by an avatar, constantly on the verge of danger…
After rolling around repeatedly, Shao Chong couldn't take it anymore and shouted at Chen Tang, "Shen Jun, why are you so weak?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Is it something she can control to cheat?
"Shut up if you can't speak properly! Always thinking about cheating, be careful you don't get banned by the GM one day!" Shen Tang was increasingly frustrated by the avatar, racking her brains for a solution. Just as she was considering whether to have a drink, a giant axe suddenly flew in from the horizon. The axe was golden, and its target was the avatar.
"The cheat didn't work, now helpers are here."
Shao Chong, panting, asked, "Help?"
Shen Tang: "A Gold Saint under Athena's command."
_(:з」∠)_
Guess who it is?
First, we can rule out Gong Xichou, the incompetent teammate.
