Chapter 271
For a military leader like him with a superior record, the Blood Battle City command group would turn a blind eye within the scope of the rules...
Cheng Hui applied for leave smoothly.
For a military leader like him with an excellent record, the command group of Blood Battle City will turn a blind eye within the scope permitted by the rules.
I'm not going to desert, I just want to take a few months off, it's no big deal.
It’s not that Blood Battle City doesn’t allow leave, but after taking leave, you have to work double the shifts to return it.
After completing their mission, the cannon fodder troops, constantly on the brink of life and death, certainly didn't want to continue fighting. Who knew if a few extra battles would cost them their lives?
Therefore, even if their military leader had something to do, he would not dare to ask for leave.
But Cheng Hui came here for the purpose of fighting. During his rest time, he would take the initiative to go to the city wall to take turns. It was just to increase the fighting time, which was a small matter.
Both parties were very straightforward, so the fake approval was completed very quickly.
The application submitted in the morning was rejected before noon.
Cheng Hui instructed Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou to guard the Guangping Army while he was away. They should keep a low profile and avoid conflicts with others. If there were any issues, they should wait until he returned to deal with them.
Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou patted their chests and promised that they would definitely guard the Guangping Army for him and that no accidents would occur.
Before leaving, Cheng Hui left a talisman for Zheng Kai and Wei Yuanzhou, and specifically asked them to carry it with them.
The two had been in Blood Battle City for so long and had come across more information, including the existence of the Natural Way Amulet.
This kind of thing is only in the hands of cultivators, and each one is very expensive. They know that it is a good thing, but they really can't afford it.
They didn't expect the military leader to be so generous and actually gave one to each of them. This is a real good thing, a treasure that can save their lives. The two of them were so grateful to Cheng Hui that they would definitely reach the highest point if their favorability could be realized.
Cheng Hui handled all matters concerning the Guangping Army, while Lin Qingyang also had to settle the scumbag army.
Lin Qingyang has always maintained a laissez-faire attitude towards this group of scum.
If you need to go to the battlefield, go to the battlefield. If you are lucky enough to survive, continue to live. Anyway, everyone here is a criminal who deserves to be put to death, so just treat them as waste.
Before leaving, he went to warn the leaders again, handed them three months' supply of antidote, and arranged for them to distribute it.
"Master, is there only enough for three months?" Poison Hand Young Master said with a bitter face. "If your trip is delayed... our lives will be in danger."
Lin Qingyang glanced at him with a half-smile: "Then you'd better pray that everything goes well for me."
Poisonous Hand Man: ...I knew this bastard had no conscience at all!
But one has to bow his head under the eaves. Although he is a poisonous man, he is at a loss as to how to deal with the poison Lin Qingyang has given them. What else can he do except to obey?
Integrity? What is that?
If they had that thing, would they still be scumbags?! Hilarious!
After dealing with the matters in Blood Battle City, the two set off.
Riding fast horses, we headed towards the desert along the road.
The ancient god ruins are essentially located in the void, but there is an entrance connected to the small world of the Forbidden Demon Battlefield.
In other words, as long as they enter the ancient ruins, their abilities as cultivators can be fully utilized.
Cheng Hui also considered whether he needed to bring the Guangping Army with him on the way to the entrance to avoid accidents.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
After all, the Guangping army was quite large, and they needed a lot of supplies to feed their men and horses. Most importantly, what would the Guangping army do after he entered the Ancient God Ruins? Would they stay where they were and wait for him?
God knows how long he will stay in the ancient ruins. Not to mention whether the Guangping Army can afford to wait, if they are besieged and ambushed, wouldn’t the Guangping Army, without its leader, be waiting to be eaten?
After much thought, it is safest to leave people in the Blood Battle City.
So Cheng Hui and his companion set off in a simple carriage, riding two horses.
It took less than half a month to travel all the way and they had already entered the desert.
On the way here, the news that a secret realm of immortals had been opened spread completely, causing an uproar on the continent. Countless people were ready to take action, and almost the entire continent was boiling with excitement because of this news.
The existence of cultivators is no secret among the upper class, and even in the martial arts world, many people know about it.
Cultivators possess countless valuable items, and it's unknown how many people have ever caught their eye. Many people don't know what's inside the secret realm, but they do know one thing: a secret realm coveted even by cultivators must contain a lot of treasures.
In addition to the royal families of various countries, many forces in the world have also begun to plan something in secret.
In addition to encountering many legions along the way, Cheng Hui and his companions also encountered many lone knights.
"There are too many people here..." Cheng Hui was stunned when he saw a troop of tens of thousands of soldiers that just passed by.
This was a legion that could make him feel immense pressure just by its presence. If such a legion went to the Blood Battle City, they would be able to station themselves in the middle section of the city wall where the intensity of the war was the highest.
Facing such an enemy - if they were an enemy - Cheng Hui's scalp tingled. Not to mention that these were tens of thousands of soldiers who cooperated well with each other, even if they were just ordinary people, they would be exhausted to death by relying on human wave tactics.
What's more, they are powerful warriors with legion skills. Even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot withstand such enemies!
"Don't worry..." Lin Qingyang chuckled and said, "They can't get in."
Cheng Hui:?
"Why?"
"What do you think the Ancient God Ruins are?" Lin Qingyang curled his lips. "That's where a group of gods live. If ordinary people go in without permission, they will turn into pus in a short time. Their bodies can't withstand the high concentration of spiritual energy."
Cheng Hui:!!! So cruel?
On second thought, these gods originally became gods through the faith of human beings. Not to mention that their divinity was distorted by faith after they became gods, just based on the fact that those people worship them, it is impossible for these gods to put humans on an equal footing with themselves.
Of course, people just want to live in their own house and be happy. They will definitely not make changes to suit the needs of others, not to mention that this other person is a human being whom they have never treated equally.
"Wouldn't it be very dangerous for the people who went in?" After all, it was he who spread the rumor, and Cheng Hui didn't want these people to suffer too much harm.
"No." Lin Qingyang said decisively: "These people are not fools. It is impossible for such an organized army to go in right away. As long as a few people get unlucky, the rest will learn their lesson."
Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them rode at full speed towards the depths of the desert.
The exact location of the entrance to the ancient ruins is still unknown, but what is certain is that it must be a place where those "special items" are produced in abundance.
As long as you look carefully in that area, you will definitely find it.
With the same goal in mind, everyone quickly gathered in the area where special items were produced.
At this point, the underworld and the imperial court were divided into two distinct groups.
Most of the troops on the imperial court side are organized legions, with the largest number being tens of thousands and the smallest number being at least a few thousand.
On the other hand, the underworld forces consist of at most a few hundred people, and most of them are small groups of dozens of people.
In addition to these two groups, there is another group of cultivators.
They are a group of their own, floating between the two, with a very special status, and both sides are trying to win them over.
The locals all knew very well that they had no idea what was in the secret realm, they only knew that there must be treasures inside.
There is no doubt that the cultivators are very familiar with the secret realm. If you want to gain something in the secret realm, bringing three or two cultivators with you is the best choice.
For cultivators, these large armies are also very intimidating. No matter when, if you want to gain more benefits, you must first have a strong fist. These armies are obviously the fists of the locals.
They may not be able to help much in exploring the secret realm, but they can definitely make everyone lose nothing.
To put it bluntly, with tens of thousands of people blocking the entrance, no one can get in, no matter whether you are a cultivator or a martial arts master.
In this world where magic cannot be used at will, numbers are an advantage.
The cultivators are not a united group. Not only do the various sects compete with each other, but those evil cultivators who are like troublemakers can make the idea of everyone uniting to suppress the locals bankrupt.
"Enough... There's no point in us all standing here. After all this talk... We haven't even found the entrance to the secret realm. Is that interesting?" A monk with a frivolous tone leaned against his companion and said impatiently.
Standing next to him was a middle-aged man with a serious expression. He was dressed in armor and behind him stood tens of thousands of soldiers.
"What you said makes sense, sir. I think we should all go look for the entrance first. Speaking of which... the news is a bit strange, and it's hard to say whether there is such an entrance or not." The woman in the peach-colored skirt giggled.
A female cultivator with a cold expression glanced at the woman indifferently: "I also think it's best to find the entrance first. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke for so many of us to come here with such fanfare for so many days?"
A Taoist priest bowed and smiled, "Don't worry, Fairy Gu. If we didn't have accurate information, we wouldn't have come here so easily."
The cold female cultivator glanced at the Taoist priest and nodded: "That's good. In that case, let's stop talking nonsense. Everyone's goal is nothing more than the treasures in the secret realm. The current situation is very clear. It is impossible to take it all for oneself. In that case, everyone should rely on their own abilities." After that, she turned around and left.
The Taoist priest didn't expect that Fairy Gu would just leave without caring about the overall situation, and he felt distressed.
But looking at the various expressions on the faces of the people present, it was obvious that everyone had their own thoughts, so he could only smile bitterly, "Well, let's just go with the flow."
The remaining people were stunned for a moment, looking at each other, and found that there was really no one who came forward to take the lead. The little thoughts in their hearts jumped out again.
Unfortunately, none of the remaining people have such high prestige to bring everyone together. There was originally a Taoist priest who could be considered highly respected, but now he has left. The remaining people are fighting for power, but no one can grab it.
In the end, everyone simply dispersed, just as the old Taoist priest said, leaving everything to chance.
Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang had already arrived and were hiding in the crowd.
Considering the limited number of cultivators, joining them rashly would likely result in discovery. Even if they weren't discovered, two strangers would certainly draw attention, so it would be better to join the Jianghu sect.
The reason why they did not join the court was mainly because most of the people in the court came with their legions. People like Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang who came alone would not be taken seriously even if they joined. It would be better for them to join the people in the martial arts world, at least they would have enough freedom.
