Emergency Recall

Tu Miangou looked at the Silver Crown in Li Weiyi's hand, his eyes changed drastically, and he quickly took it to examine it carefully. Then, he used his magical energy to activate it.

On the Silver Crown, dense, Ghost Script appeared.

"This is impossible! Where did this come from?" Tu Miangou's voice was full of astonishment, his eyes almost bulging out.

Li Weiyi said, "While patrolling the territory of the Old Ye Province, I encountered a ghost marquis and knocked it off its head."

"Old Ye Province?"

Tu Miangou was incredulous and explained, "This is the Silver Arsenic Crown, also known as the Yin God Crown, forged from Silver Arsenic Iron."

"Only Ghost Marquises in the army under the Dongxu Ghost Emperor Ruins are qualified to wear it. Corpse Marquises are not qualified, Bone Marquises are not qualified, and other miscellaneous marquises are even less qualified. In other words, Jingzhe, you have encountered the Ghost Emperor's Personal Guard."

Li Weiyi's expression turned solemn.

Xu Daoqing stood up, walked over, and took the Silver Arsenic Crown to examine it. "The Dongxu Ghost City is at least 400,000 miles away. It is a forbidden zone that the light cannot reach, separated by countless mountains and rivers. How could the Ghost Emperor's Personal Guard appear in the Seven Grievances Plain?"

Tu Miangou said, "That's right. Dongxu Ghost City hardly cares about these outer areas; they let the various Kings of the Dead govern themselves, and all they have to do is pay tribute every sixty years. This matter is strange and must be reported immediately."

A whistle sounded softly.

Li Weiyi and his two companions looked outwards from the outpost's defensive formation.

Liu Ye, blowing her whistle, stood in the wind and snow alongside four other sentry spirits and sentries.

Li Weiyi, Tu Miangou, and Xu Daoqing immediately put on white masks and released their Mana Qi Domain to conceal their figures.

After checking the waist tags of the group, Tu Miangou activated the formation.

Liu Ye walked in first. "The brothers I met down the mountain, here to relieve you of your duties."

"Didn't you say it would take six months? It's only been three months!" Li Weiyi said.

The newly relieved sentry captain, looking at the four mysterious and powerful Lesser Yang Guard before him, clasped his hands in a salute, then took out a handwritten order from the Deputy Sentinel Lord: "There must be an emergency that requires your Lesser Yang Guard to handle. We are ordered to take over the Ye City Sentry Post."

Xu Daoqing personally checked the waist tags of the four people and verified the secret codes.

After the handover was properly handled, they began packing their belongings, preparing to head to the main outpost of the Spatial Teleportation Array, tens of thousands of miles away.

"Captain, what are we going to do with this batch of pills?" Tu Miangou asked.

"I'm not going to try anymore, since I can't succeed anyway."

Xu Daoqing poured out all the medicinal herbs from the Copper Furnace, only putting the furnace into his storage bag. Alchemy was merely a hobby for him, and he was still in the research and learning stage.

Spatial Teleportation Array are extremely rare, often shared by more than ten outposts.

Every trip between the outpost and the teleportation array is a thrilling and dangerous journey and a life-or-death experience. One cannot reveal any fluctuations of magical energy and can only rely on one's own two feet to travel. One must also avoid some dangerous areas. It is common to spend ten days or half a month on the road.

The four returned to the Immortal Mist Sect Dongxu Camp half a month later.

In the Teleportation Hall, each of them left a drop of blood, checked their boundary bags, and looked in the Sky-Hanging Mirror. The four of them had just stepped out of the hall when Li Weiyi had not yet had time to bring Tang Wanzhou out.

The Deputy Sentinel Lord's voice transmission reached their ears. "All Lesser Yang Guard, proceed to the Camp Hall immediately."

A year has passed since they entered the camp, Immortal Mist Sect camp has become much quieter, with most of the sentries and sentry spirits being sent out to guard posts and gain experience.

When the four arrived at Qingyu Square on the mountaintop, they discovered that they were the last group of Lesser Yang Guard to return.

Chi Haohan, Chang Yujian, Lu Qing, Nangong, Qing Ziqin, the scholar, the Pipa Woman, and Qiu Cheng, a young man from the Mo Yue Clan, were all dressed in white robes and stood amidst clusters of magical energy or spiritual light.

They possessed extraordinary qualities, some handsome, some majestic, and some beautiful, like a group of young celestial beings, chatting and laughing in perfect harmony.

After spending more than half a year together, and three months of mutual trust and dedicated assistance in facing danger together while guarding the outposts in the secluded realm, the originally unfamiliar group gradually lowered their guard and began to build friendships.

Even the usually taciturn Nangong and the aloof Qing Ziqin would occasionally exchange a few words, their faces sometimes revealing a captivating smile.

In the half year since joining the Lesser Yang Division, everyone's cultivation has greatly improved, and they are all full of fighting spirit.

"Master Xu and the others are back!"

"Why are you back so late? We've been waiting for you for three days."

"Brother Xu, how about a game of chess tonight?"

"Let's have a drink together at the camp tonight, Liu Ye. Staying in this secluded place for so long has made us too tense; we need to relax."

The group gathered together, chatting and laughing, asking each other if they had encountered any dangers in the secluded realm, and inquiring about their cultivation progress.

Among the Lesser Yang Guard, there is no concealment of identity, and they rarely address each other by the solar terms.

Tu Miangou looked curious and asked Li Weiyi in a low voice, "Brother Li, isn't there twenty-four Lesser Yang Guard in the Lesser Yang Division? Why do we never see the other twelve?"

Li Weiyi's expression was serious as he transmitted his voice, saying, "The Lesser Yang Division is divided into two groups: one Visible Guard and one Hidden Guard. I have the lowest cultivation level, the youngest age, the weakest strength, and the least mature mind, so I don't know much. Only the Holy Division knows about this."

"I see."

Tu Miangou's eyes were introspective, as if he were deep in thought.

Chang Yujian walked over, first bowing to Tu Miangou, and then began to chat with Li Weiyi: "Brother Weiyi, how is it? Have you broken through the Longevity Shackle?"

Li Weiyi sighed and shook his head.

Tu Miangou comforted Li Weiyi with a few words, then walked over to the group of Lesser Yang Guard, and they quickly became friends.

Chang Yujian comforted her, "It's alright. With your talent in mental power, your Battle Power within the same realm won't be much weaker than that of the Ancient Sect True Disciple. Those Saint Spirit King Mind Master hold a status in the Demon Kingdom that is far beyond ordinary and transcendent. The path of mental masters becomes more and more extraordinary the higher one goes, and it won't be inferior to the path of martial arts."

Li Weiyi gave a wry smile, neither confirming nor denying, and asked in return, "And you, have you reached the peak of the First Realm?"

Chang Yujian said, "It's not that easy. I've only just finished refining a ball of Dragon Soul Origin Light. There's still a long way to go before I reach my peak."

The higher one's cultivation level, the faster one can refine a ball of Dragon Soul Origin Light.

Tang Wanzhou, at the Second Realm, spent half a year refining a single wisp of Dragon Soul Source Light. Chang Yujian, at the First Realm, spent nearly a year refining a single wisp of Dragon Soul Origin Light.

"There are important figures in the Demon Kingdom who already know you're in the Dongxu Camp. There's nothing we can do; there are too many Demon Kingdom martial artists in the camp, including many of that person's direct subordinates. We can't hide it from them," Chang Yujian whispered telepathically.

Li Weiyi knew without guessing that the so-called "that person" was most likely the Demon Country Crown Prince.

The Demon Country Crown Prince was certainly not targeting him.

He was far from being someone the Demon Country Crown Prince would bother to deal with; the other party wanted to use this opportunity to find Yu Yaozi.

Is it possible to find a weakened Stored Son of Heaven through a Dao Seed Realm Martial Cultivator?

Nobody believed it.

This is very likely just a casual move by the Demon Country Crown Prince. It's even possible that some Demon Kingdom officials under the Eastern Palace's command, trying to guess the Emperor's intentions, have turned their attention to Li Weiyi as a breakthrough point.

Chang Yujian, a martial arts practitioner from the Demon Kingdom, took the initiative to tell this story because the Chang family and the Demon Country Crown Prince had a deep-seated conflict that had lasted for thousands of years.

The Demon Consort Changyu Lu is deeply favored by Yu Baxian, and her cultivation has become increasingly profound over the past thousand years. It is said that she is now on par with the Yu Baxian of the Demon Country Crown Prince. Some say that if Yu Baxian had not devoted his cultivation resources to Changyu Lu, the Demon Country Crown Prince might have already reached the level of Martial Path Son of Heaven.

There are also rumors that Yu Baxian cultivated Changyu Lu and the Chang family in order to suppress the exceptionally talented Crown Demon Country Crown Prince.

The king does not meet the king.

One Country, Two Sons of Heaven is naturally incredibly glorious.

However, the emergence of two different supreme voices and two different supreme decrees is not necessarily a good thing. Advantages and disadvantages often coexist, depending on the mindset of the supreme leader and the ambitions of those who follow.

"Don't worry, I will inform you in advance of any news from the Demon Kingdom."

Chang Yujian smiled, then said frankly and sincerely, "As long as that person fails to achieve their goal, it's a good thing for the Chang family. Since ancient times, in the internal power struggles within the Demon Kingdom, the losers suffer terribly, and even the extinction of their clan is considered a dignified end... I'm sorry to have made my Brother Weiyi laugh!"

Thank you.

Li Weiyi really liked the straightforwardness of Chang Yujian.

Chang Yujian glanced at Tu Miangou in the distance. "Did he reveal any weakness?"

Li Weiyi gently shook her head. "Not a drop of water leaked."

The Lesser Yang Division investigated the Hai Envoy of the Twelve Taiyin Envoys, and all clues pointed to Tu Miangou.

The reason for recruiting him into the Lesser Yang Division was to train him to be a tool for transmitting special messages to Chu Yutian.

As for whether Tu Miangou will expose the members of Lesser Yang Division, firstly, the identities of Lesser Yang Division members are not difficult to investigate. Half of the members were guessed by this generation of Sentinels and Sentinel Spirits.

Secondly, if he were to leak detailed information about the Lesser Yang Division, it would be tantamount to admitting guilt without being asked.

"The Deputy Sentinel Lord arrived!" Chi Haohan like thunder.

The twelve Lesser Yang Guard immediately fell silent and bowed in unison to Liu Tianchen as he walked out of the Camp Hall.

Liu Tianchen scanned them one by one. "Your cultivation has improved very quickly; you truly deserve to be top Outstanding Person from various major forces."

"Reporting to the Deputy Sentinel Lord, I have reached the Mid Third Realm." Chi Haohan was very confident, certain that if he were to encounter Tang Wanzhou again, who was nine months ago, he could definitely hold his own.

Liu Tianchen said, "You're already getting cocky? Your opponents won't wait for you to catch up. What about the Holy Master of Lesser Yang Division?"

"Saintess acts alone and is very secretive; it's difficult to contact her," the scholar said.

Liu Tianchen said, "You recruits have been in the camp for a year now; it's time for your first Annual Exam."

"Deputy Sentinel Lord, the Holy Priest said we don't need to participate in the Quarterly Exam and Annual Exam; she has the final say in everything," Liu Ye said.

Liu Tianchen said, "The Lesser Yang Division doesn't usually have Annual Exam, but a rare opportunity is presented to us now. The Withered-Prosperous Belt on the edge of the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin has entered a weak cycle. This special Training Ground can't be entered at any time. It's a once-in-a-decades opportunity, so before the Holy Division returns, you should think carefully about whether you want to go."

"After all, it's too dangerous. If more than half of the Lesser Yang Guard don't participate, then this matter should be dropped."

"More than half of the participants must attend; the rest must participate unconditionally."

Qiu Cheng, a young man from the Mo Yue Clan, said coldly, "What's there to think about? I joined the Sentinel Spirit Army because I knew that the Dongxu Camp possessed a Time Years Ruins God Token. The Hundred Realms Longevity Crossing only has five years left. I advise you all to seize this opportunity. Anyone who dares to be a coward will face my wrath."

After saying this, Qiu Cheng turned and left quickly, actively preparing supplies for entering the Ancient Kingdom of the Years Ruin, his eyes burning with excitement.
