Summoning the Great Heavenly Venerate

"Seven people?"

Hua Wanliang was startled. "Brother, jest not. Is there a missing ten thousand at the end? Or a thousand would do, too."

Chen Shi shook his head. "They are all right here."

Hua Wanliang could not help being speechless. Seven people wanted to guard Siyuan Mountain Pass? His Wood Character Camp of over a thousand men had nearly failed to hold it!

Had Chen Shi and the others not arrived just now, Siyuan Mountain Pass would likely have been conquered already!

Niu Qingqing stammered, "Originally there were thirty-three of us, but twenty-six died the moment we arrived here..."

Hua Wanliang fell silent for a moment, unable to help asking, "Did you offend Heavenly King Li? Even if you offended Heavenly King Li, your crime shouldn't warrant this. Heavenly King Li is truly petty..."

When he reached this point, he abruptly stopped, not continuing further.

Heavenly King Li's petty-mindedness was common knowledge. Should there be any spies of Heavenly King Li by his side, these few words alone would suffice to give him a hard time.

"Never mind seven people, not even seven thousand could hold this Siyuan Mountain Pass."

Hua Wanliang said, "According to righteousness, I should stay no matter what, accompany you through life and death, and resist the Devil Race. However, I still bear the lives of the soldiers of the Wood Character Camp, and I cannot sacrifice their lives here for the sake of righteousness. Everyone, farewell."

He turned around, mustered his remaining troops, and led them away.

Chen Shi and the other six watched them leave. They saw that most of these Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were injured, their wounds rather severe; missing arms and legs were not a few, and some even had half their heads shaved off, barely surviving on powerful vitality.
