War of Expansion (16)
A thousand miles outside White Ape Mountain, Yang Danglong led his Fleet, slowly making its way towards White Ape Mountain.
Not long after, the Storage Ring on his finger glowed faintly. Yang Danglong took out a mirror from it, and a line of text came into view. "Successfully infiltrated White Ape Mountain!"
"Wang Shan succeeded!" Yang Danglong breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing his expression, the other four Golden Core Cultivators guessed what was going on.
Mister Shuijing crossed his arms, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Brother Daoist, shouldn't we attack?"
"Attack!!" Yang Danglong, filled with heroic spirit, issued the order.
The Formation Furnace operated rapidly, and the Formation lines engraved on it shone brightly, with streams of Spiritual Qi flowing out and being transported to every corner of the Flying Boat.
Array Mark appeared, and an invisible, Concealment wave emanated from the Hidden Dragon Boat, instantly enveloping the entire Fleet.
The Fleet that had been exposed vanished silently under this fluctuation, becoming impossible to detect with the naked eye, and even with Divine Sense, it was difficult to find without careful examination.
Time flowed slowly, and an hour later, the Fleet arrived at Tianqiong, which was only thirty miles away from White Ape Mountain.
At this distance, the security measures on White Ape Mountain have reached their peak, and it's not so easy to hide from them anymore.
After the Fleet continued for more than ten miles, sharp monkey cries echoed across White Ape Mountain, followed by the lurking cries of monkeys all over the mountain.
At the same time, a thin but incredibly tough white shield rose from beneath the mountains. White Thunder crackled and surged across the surface of the shield, its fierce and awe-inspiring aura shaking the very soul.
"Full speed ahead! All attack Formations and War Law Artifacts on the Flying Boat, all cultivators, prepare to attack immediately upon entering attack range!!"
Yang Danglong's voice echoed throughout the entire Fleet, following the vibrations emanating from the Hidden Dragon Boat.
The moment the sound faded, a unified shout erupted, Yunxiao.
On the deck, Yang Tianxue, Yang Qiongchuan, and Yang Xuanying, three Yang Household Members, all gazed at the White Ape Mountain before them with burning desire.
The Merit are within reach. As long as enough Meritorious Service are earned in the war, a large amount of resources can be exchanged for the Lineage and used to acquire Golden Pill Spirit materials such as Golden Core Formation Pill Elixir.
For Yang Qiongchuan in particular, Merit were of paramount importance.
Yang Tianxue possessed a large amount of resources that she had obtained in the Four Symbols Nine Trials, and now she had almost accumulated enough to Golden Core Formation Pill.
With the support of her husband, a top-notch Artifact Refining Master, Yang Xuanying had no problem Golden Core Formation Pill. Wang Shan even custom-made two sets of magical Law Treasure for her to use during her Tribulation Transcendence.
This is why Yang Qiongchuan's desire for Merit was the strongest.
At this moment, he held Long Spear- shaped Law Treasure, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching White Ape Mountain, watching the thousands of white apes leaping and bounding across the mountain.
In his eyes, these were no longer the Demon Beast white apes, but rather a string of vibrant Merit!
On White Ape Mountain, Wang Shan, disguised as a white ape, followed his remaining memories to his defensive position.
Fortunately, because the white ape he was disguised as was quite strong, his position was very close to that of a Golden Core white ape, which made Wang Shan unconsciously smile, forming a cold arc.
"Roar!!"
Suddenly, a ferocious ape cry rang out.
Following the sound, Wang Shan looked up and saw a domineering White Ape Mountain, ten zhang tall, with flying hair, protruding fangs, and endless Thunder flowing beneath its skin, standing atop White Ape Mountain.
This is the White Ape King. The intelligence indicated that it had Middle Golden Core cultivation level, but what shocked Wang Shan was that this fiend's cultivation was not just Middle Golden Core; it had clearly advanced to the Late Golden Core realm.
Although his aura was somewhat unstable, suggesting he had just broken through, he still possessed genuine Late Golden Core combat power, comparable to two or three Middle Golden Core cultivators.
"Damn it, they actually broke through at this crucial juncture." Wang Shan cursed inwardly, but he didn't blame the inaccurate intelligence from above.
After all, this kind of impromptu breakthrough is no one's fault but rather a matter of bad luck on their part.
"Fortunately, we have an overwhelming advantage in Golden Core Combat Strength this time, and we made two preparations, otherwise we would have been in a very difficult situation!" Wang Shan muttered to himself, but he was not flustered.
Firstly, because their side possesses thirteen Golden Core Combat Strength.
Six Golden Core Cultivators, five Tier Third-Tier Flying Boats, and two Tier Third-Tier Puppets.
Facing White Ape Mountain, which only has five Golden Core White Apes, they still hold a significant advantage in terms of strength.
Secondly, he is hidden in the shadows, and if he were to suddenly strike, he could potentially kill a Golden Core White Ape in an instant.
Don't forget that Wang Shan is Purple Golden Core, with pure Law Power comparable to an ordinary Middle Golden Core cultivator. Furthermore, he possesses a Third-Tier Lower-Grade Puppet and numerous Forbidden Artifacts he crafted himself.
If they erupt simultaneously, it's quite possible that they could instantly kill a white ape in the Early Golden Core.
"Everything depends on when the war begins..."
