Heavenly General Jiang Shi said, "It was the loud thunder that startled those wandering cultivators. They thought it was the Jade Dou Fake Court attacking them, so there was chaos in the camp. However, it wasn't serious and things have calmed down now."
With this said, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King can understand. Thunder is an extremely mysterious and majestic thing. Even gods are afraid of thunder.
So the huge thunder that shook the sky just now also scared some independent cultivators, especially since they were now confronting the army of Yudou Pseudo Court. Therefore, these independent cultivators were nervous and had not received the same training as the heavenly soldiers. So they were frightened by the huge thunder, and coupled with their always tense nerves, they thought that it was the people from Yudou Heavenly Court who were coming to kill them, so they panicked. This panic was then transmitted to other cultivators, and chaos occurred, and then the camp roar broke out. In layman's terms, the camp exploded.
At this moment, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King had a little doubt about the determination and discipline of these scattered cultivators. "They were frightened to the point of blowing up their camp because of thunder. These scattered cultivators are not worthy of being used."
The Heavenly Generals nodded in agreement. At this moment, Heavenly General Chen Jiantang said, "Heavenly King, why not have them serve as auxiliary troops, transporting supplies and maintaining order in the rear?"
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "Let me think about it again. I'll send two more Heavenly Generals to the Loose Cultivator Camp tonight to prevent the same thing from happening again."
Upon hearing this, all the heavenly generals bowed and said, "I obey your command."
...
At the same time, the heavenly soldiers and generals who went to survey the mountain terrain around the ancient stone city also successfully sneaked in.
But when they began to sneak into those crucial mountains that were closely guarded by the monks of Yudou Heavenly Court, they discovered a scene that surprised them.
I saw that the hillsides of these mountains were crowded with mortals, all of them were soaked by the rain, and only a few of them managed to take shelter in some caves or under the cliffs.
These mortals were pale and huddled together to keep warm, but the heavy rain from the sky continued to fall, and the villages, towns, and even cities at the foot of the mountain were flooded.
Fu Zhenqing didn't know how to describe this scene. On the top of the mountain was the Jade Dou Pseudo Court's formation altar and the monks stationed there, while halfway up the mountain was densely packed with mortals seeking refuge from the flood. These mortals were like... like insects hiding in a dry place during the rain...
"Alas." Fu Zhenqing sighed and said to the heavenly soldiers around him, "Let's go back first."
A celestial soldier was startled when he heard this and said, "But the Heavenly King asked us to survey the terrain..."
Fu Zhenqing pointed at the mortals soaked in the rain below and said, "If we continue to survey, if the enemy detects any abnormality, they will attack in all directions, and then they will be implicated."
The celestial soldiers looked down at this, and then another celestial soldier said, "General, why don't we just take them back to Dongshubuzhou?"
Fu Zhenqing looked slightly surprised and said, "Is this okay? It looks like there are quite a lot of people here."
The celestial soldier said, "General, you are a Golden Immortal. We still have 500 celestial soldiers. Each of us can summon a cloud of light and lead 100 people. That's enough to take away 50,000 people."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhenqing said, "Indeed, I can take away 50,000 people by myself."
After saying this, Fu Zhenqing immediately gave the order: "Pass the word down. Our target has changed tonight. The survey is suspended. Everyone, listen to my command. Together, summon the dark clouds and light to take those mortals away. Each person must bring at least 500 people, and move quickly."
"yes."
Soon, Fu Zhenqing gave an order, and five hundred heavenly soldiers flew down, each of them summoned a cloud of magic power, picked up a hundred mortals, turned around and flew away on the cloud.
Fu Zhenqing himself used his magic power to summon cloud light, which swept up more than 40,000 mortals below. After carefully checking that no mortals were left out, he also rode away on the cloud.
Although Fu Zhenqing and the others made their cloud light exactly the same as the dark clouds in the sky, they still exposed their aura the moment they used their magic power, and the monks of the Yudou Heavenly Court on the mountain immediately noticed them.
The next moment, tens of thousands of spiritual lights broke through the air and attacked the heavenly soldiers. Fu Zhenqing turned around and found that those spiritual lights were all "stone arrows" and they were very powerful. It was easy to kill or injure a true immortal.
So Fu Zhenqing took the initiative to cover the rear, raised his hand and used the magical power "Cloud Screen Ten Thousand Miles", and in an instant, a white cloud immediately appeared and formed a barrier of ten thousand miles across the sky.
The stone arrows hit the barrier and shattered into pieces, while Fu Zhenqing and the five hundred heavenly soldiers had already accelerated back to their base in Feishiyuan.
After returning to the base, Fu Zhenqing temporarily settled the 90,000 mortals outside the base, and asked the 500 heavenly soldiers to stay here to take care of them and shelter them from the wind and rain, and then he went into the camp to meet the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.
After meeting the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Fu Zhenqing immediately apologized to him and temporarily modified the superior's order, which was a military order. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King could directly behead him without reporting to his superiors.
But after listening to Fu Zhenqing's report, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King simply asked, "Where are those mortals?"
Fu Zhenqing quickly replied, "It's just outside the camp."
Afterwards, Tota Heavenly King took Fu Zhenqing to personally go outside the camp to visit those mortals. After an inspection, Tota Heavenly King turned to Zhenqing and said, "You did the right thing. Although you modified my military orders, I will not punish you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Zhenqing hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Heavenly King, for your forgiveness."
The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "People in the world only think that with the 'Heavenly Sword' and 'Heavenly Mandate' they can replace Heaven. This is a huge mistake. Heaven not only has the authority to rule the three realms, but also has the responsibility to protect all living beings. They only see 'authority' and not 'responsibility', which is why they are doomed to be unable to replace Heaven."
After saying this, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King continued, "Immediately send a message to all the heavenly soldiers and generals who have gone out to carry out the exploration orders. Tell them to stop the survey immediately and search for and rescue the people trapped by the heavy rain and floods on the spot, and bring them back to the camp for resettlement."
Fu Zhenqing immediately bowed and said, "I will obey the order."
