Chong Er appeared again

Li Hao nodded. Since the other party was unwilling to talk about it, he didn't press further, and besides, he wasn't particularly interested in knowing.

As the group approached the soldiers, and one by one the people in front registered, it was soon the young man and Li Hao's turn.

"Name, background, cultivation level."

The soldier took out an Identity Token and asked.

The young man recited as if reading from a script. "Huo Xiaoqi hails from the Ember Sky Continent Secluded Shadow County, and his current cultivation level is the True Immortal Realm Eighth Layer."

As he spoke, he released his Aura, revealing his cultivation level.

The soldier nodded slightly, used Immortal Dao Laws to inscribe his information into his Identity Token, and then tossed it to him, saying, "This item must not be discarded; it is a symbol of your identity, otherwise you will not be able to enter the city."

"Furthermore, some Military Formation on the battlefield will indiscriminately attack certain areas. Wearing this token will allow you to be identified as a friendly force and avoid attack. You can inscribe your Primordial Spirit power on it. If other Primordial Spirit invade and seize the token, it will be destroyed immediately!"

Upon hearing this, the young man "Huo Xiaoqi" nodded, accepted the token, and stepped aside.

"Name."

When Li Hao stepped forward, the soldier took out another empty token.

Li Hao pondered for a moment, and like Huo Xiaoqi, he solemnly reported:

"Chong Er, hailing from the Heart Questioning Floating Pagoda City, is currently at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer!"

Upon hearing Li Hao's words, the soldiers looked up at Li Hao but did not question Li Hao name or background.

Whether these two points are true or false is not important to the Wildfire Army.

"You're only at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, what made you think of joining the army here?"

The soldier raised an eyebrow and asked.

Li Hao's expression turned serious, and he said earnestly, "I want to slay the demon!"

After meeting Li Hao's gaze for three seconds, the soldier nodded slightly and said, "Commendable courage, not bad. I hope you can survive in the Wildfire Army. If you can establish Immortal Merit and take down three Ancient Demon heads within three years, come find me, and I'll make you my soldier."

Li Hao was somewhat surprised and bowed, saying, "Thank you."

Although he didn't intend to make a name for himself here, Li Hao still appreciated the other party's kindness.

"Go."

The general waved, and soldiers in black Battle Armor led Li Hao and his men to the Wildfire Army's location.

The Wildfire Army was stationed in a certain area of the city, and along the way, Li Hao and his companions saw many warriors wearing various types of Battle Armor.

These soldiers all wore uniform Battle Armor, clearly belonging to different legions. For example, those with wolf heads engraved on their armor belonged to the Heavenly Wolf Army. The Heavenly Wolf Army also had different unit numbers and officers, and their armor shoulder plates had different battle patterns. To someone familiar with the area, it was easy to recognize which battalion the soldiers belonged to.

"This is the Wildfire Army. Go with him to collect supplies, then report for duty."

The guide explained.

Before Li Hao and the others lay a vast expanse of buildings. The Wildfire Army here wore less elaborate attire, each clad in their own True Treasure Battle Armor, varying in style but all adorned with a True Treasure epaulette. This True Treasure could unleash unique light and shadow during battle, slightly enhancing the combatant's Immortal Power.

On the battlefield, it is also a means of identification.

Someone came to hand over the epaulets and led Li Hao and the others to collect their shoulder insignia.

"There are no weapons or armor here. If you need them, you can only exchange them with Immortal Merit. Only after joining the Heavenly Wolf Army can you obtain a set of Heavenly Wolf Battle Armor, which is a top-grade True Treasure that can withstand attacks from Ancient Demon below the True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer!"

A Wildfire Army leader spoke to Li Hao and the others, and then led them to a building.

"Go report for duty. This is the Yinglong Imperial Guard Camp of the Wildfire Army. Battalion Commander Shi Tianjin is waiting for you inside."

The guide waved and said.

Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi looked around. As they entered the courtyard, they saw various Barrier with nitrogen and argon visible inside. Inside these Barrier, figures were cultivating or practicing their skills with spears and swords.

Inside the main hall of the courtyard, a burly middle-aged man, clad in a magnificent Heavenly Wolf Battle Armor, was drinking and eating heartily.

Hearing the noise, the other person looked up and saw Li Hao and the others walking in.

"The new batch."

The middle-aged man placed his wine gourd on the table, his eyes slanted slightly, a hint of drunkenness in his expression.

The others looked at each other, some were timid, and none of them responded.

Huo Xiaoqi stepped forward and said, "That's right."

"Oh, True Immortal Realm Eighth Layer, not bad for you."

Upon seeing the Aura he exuded, the middle-aged man's previously fierce face immediately broke into a smile.

He then greeted them:

"Guys, stop! We have a new friend! Come and welcome him!"

His voice was loud and clear, reverberating throughout the various Barrier.

In an instant, the many figures who were cultivating stopped what they were doing and gathered over, a total of seven or eight people.

"A True Immortal Realm Eighth Layer cultivator has arrived, not bad."

"There are also two at the True Immortal Realm Seventh Layer. The quality this time is quite good."

These men, armed with weapons, chatted and laughed casually, yet they exuded a fierce Aura.

Upon seeing Li Hao, someone frowned and said, "How come there's a True Immortal Realm Third Layer's managed to sneak in? Without True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer, how dare he come to the Frontier to die?"

Apart from Li Hao, the lowest cultivation level among the crowd was the True Immortal Realm Fifth Layer.

Shi Tianjin also noticed Li Hao's cultivation level. The smile that had just appeared on his face immediately turned cold. He gave a cold laugh, tilted his head back, drank the remaining wine in his bowl, and stood up, saying:

"Now that you've come to my Yinglong Imperial Guard Camp, you must obey my orders. If you perform well, I can recommend you to the Heavenly Wolf Army. Of course, the prerequisite is that you at least survive here first!"

"As long as you obey, I can guarantee you'll live a little longer. But when it comes time to fight, anyone who disobeys..."

Don't blame me if you die!

As he spoke, his fierce eyes swept over the crowd, radiating an aura of power.

Apart from Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi, everyone else's expressions changed slightly, their hearts filled with apprehension.

"Don't worry, I keep my word, I'll protect you."

Huo Xiaoqi sent a telepathic message to Li Hao to comfort him.

Li Hao replied telepathically, "Thank you."

"Those are vacant lodgings over there. Go and choose one yourselves. There aren't many rules here normally, but don't go out of town recklessly, cause trouble, or provoke people you shouldn't. When you get to the battlefield, just don't wander off or run away, and don't back down in the face of battle."

Shi Tianjin waved his hand, then sat down and continued drinking.

Li Hao couldn't bear to look at the cheap wine and food; having eaten too much coarse food, the sight of such rough fare made him feel uncomfortable.

"Let's go, let's choose together."

Huo Xiaoqi said to Li Hao, clearly showing his fondness for the young man and his desire to take care of Li Hao.

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't refuse and went with him to the back of the courtyard. There were several Small Courtyard there, and he and Huo Xiaoqi chose an adjacent one.

"By the way, if there's any clutter in the yard, just take care of it yourself; you can throw it away if you want."

Shi Tianjin's voice came from the front yard.

Li Hao noticed other clothes and bedding in his courtyard; they belonged to a woman and had a strong odor, indicating they had been used recently.

He subtly sensed the movement of the light, but without asking any questions, he knew without a doubt that the owner of the clothes was most likely gone.

"Let's go for a walk."

Huo Xiaoqi was very satisfied after touring her own courtyard, so she went to Li Hao's courtyard to invite him over.

Li Hao, having nothing else to do and also wanting to explore the area, agreed.

After they left the camp, one of the resting veterans said to Shi Tianjin:

"Battalion Commander, that kid at the True Immortal Realm Third Layer, we might as well just kick him out. Why let a guy like that come here..."

That's a suicide mission; we hope they don't drag us down with them.

"Exactly, don't get so scared on the battlefield that you wet your pants."

Sensing the veteran's dissatisfaction, Shi Tianjin bit off a piece of dragon tendon and said, "It's alright, just ignore him on the battlefield. A kid like that won't survive the first battle."

Upon hearing this, the others fell silent.

They also knew that once they came to this city, there was no turning back; soldiers like this would be relegated to other camps.

No one will accept it.

"That looks like the location of the Sect."

Let's go take a look.

Huo Xiaoqi led Li Hao out of the Wildfire Army's city camp and arrived at another location in the city. He seemed somewhat familiar with the place, but his actions were rather subtle.

Li Hao didn't expose him and followed him around.

Before long, they arrived at a cluster of buildings resembling spires.

High in the sky here, there are giant lists with rays of light descending from them.

Li Hao looked up and saw that these giant lists were actually the internal Immortal Merit Board of various sects.

The Immortal Merit Board of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion.

Star Palace Immortal Merit Board.

The Immortal Merit Board of the Illusory Sea Gate.

The Great Dream Nine Abyss Immortal Merit Board.

Among them, Li Hao also saw his own Sect's ranking list. The person ranked first was not Ji Qingxuan, but a person named Zhuang Wuyou.

Ji Qingxuan ranked fourth!

Ranked fourth, yet ninety-ninth on the overall Immortal Merit Ranking, it's clear that the three ahead of him are also renowned figures on the overall Immortal Merit Ranking.

Li Hao had heard that even the elders of the Sect would come here to accumulate Immortal Merit, not just the disciples.

Some Earth Sect even send their Sect Master in person, but these are rare cases. After all, the battlefield is ever-changing, and if something happens to the Sect Master, it would be a severe blow to the Sect.

Moreover, if other forces know that their Sect Master is on the Frontier, they may take the opportunity to attack their Sect, which also needs to be guarded against.

Huo Xiaoqi looked around, lingering on the various Immortal Merit Board. However, Li Hao clearly noticed that Huo Xiaoqi lingered the longest on the Illusory Sea Gate's Immortal Merit Board, and his eyes also underwent a subtle change, as if they were flashing with light, as if he were encouraging himself.

Li Hao immediately understood that the Illusory Sea Gate and the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion were equally famous, both belonging to the Heaven One Sect.

"The Heaven One Sect's foundation in Immortal Merit is indeed unmatched by other Sect; they all possess millions of Immortal Merit!"

Huo Xiaoqi sighed.

The Immortal Merit Board in each sect only record the top one hundred names, but below the Immortal Merit Board, there is a total of Immortal Merit, which are all in the millions.

The highest level among the Heaven Two Sect is only over 700,000 Immortal Merit.

The Heaven Three Sect is even lower, only around 500,000.

Among the Heaven Four Sect, the Great Dream Nine Abyss belongs to the Reliant Ones, and surprisingly possesses nearly 500,000 Immortal Merit!

Let's go.

After reading it, Huo Xiaoqi turned and left.

Li Hao glanced at it but didn't linger. He had come here incognito and had no intention of recognizing Ji Qingxuan. Otherwise, they would definitely send people to protect him, which would hinder his hunting of the Ancient Demon.

Thump!

On their way back, Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi were suddenly struck by a tremendous bell tolling that reverberated throughout the sky above Qinghe Fallen City.

The sound came from beyond the heavens, yet it resounded throughout the entire city.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi saw that the people who had been casually strolling around the roadside and haggling at the stalls all changed their expressions, and then the soldiers from various battalions, dressed in Battle Armor, hurriedly rushed Past their own camps.

"It's an enemy attack! The Ancient Demon have invaded again!"

"Hurry, hurry!"

Thump!

As the many warriors ran through the streets, a bell rang once more in the Void.

This time, the soldiers from various battalions were moving even faster through the streets.

"Two explosions! Calamity Grade attack!"

In the blink of an eye, the many soldiers who had been loitering on the street had disappeared.

Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi exchanged a glance and hurriedly returned to the Yinglong Imperial Guard Camp.

When they arrived back, everyone else in the courtyard was already waiting. When Shi Tianjin saw Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi return, his face darkened. He was about to reprimand them, but after glancing at Huo Xiaoqi, he held back. As for Li Hao, he was an unlucky guy who was about to die, so reprimanding him would be a waste of breath.

Once the two had stopped, Shi Tianjin voice, "It's a Calamity Grade attack. Attacks here are divided into four levels."

These are respectively: Evil Grade, Calamity Grade, Heaven Grade, and Demise Grade!

"Evil Grade attack typically involves the Heavenly Wolf Army, Calamity Grade attack is mainly carried out by the Tiger Lion Army, and Heaven Grade attack involves both the Dragon Battle Army and the Peacock Army. Such battles are extremely rare, occurring only once every thousand years, and will inevitably result in rivers of blood!"

He swept his gaze around seriously and said, "As for the Demise Grade,' don't ask or even think about it. In battles like that, the Wildfire Camp will only serve as cannon fodder, and the Heavenly Wolf Army might be wiped out!"

Upon hearing his words, everyone else's expressions changed slightly, while Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi's expressions became serious.

"Look."

Shi Tianjin suddenly looked up.

Everyone couldn't help but look over, and immediately saw dark shadows flying past in the distance. In an instant, they transformed into a Dark Clouds, revealing a dense army that roared overhead.

The Battle Armor worn by the soldiers, adorned with tigers on the left and lions on the right, was imposing and domineering, a dark gold color, and extremely divine and powerful.

"The Tiger Lion Army has joined the battle."

Shi Tianjin stared intently, a hint of admiration and envy in the depths of his eyes. He was from the Heavenly Wolf Army and had been assigned here as the Battalion Commander of the Wildfire Army. Once he led the Wildfire Army to establish ten level 100 Immortal Merit, he could apply to join the Tiger Lion Army. At that time, his treatment and other aspects would increase dramatically.

It took a good ten seconds for the massive army of tigers and lions overhead to finally "drift Past" from the Dark Clouds.

Before long, another howling sound filled the city, this time flashing with various colored lights, and the True Treasure carried were all different, among which a conspicuous giant sword was the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Pavilion.

There is also a path paved with Starlight, light and graceful, which is the Star Palace.

Li Hao also saw the Battle Flag of the Great Dream Nine Abyss, which was dozens of feet tall, fluttering in the wind, and extremely domineering.

Inside, Li Hao saw several familiar figures, including Ji Qingxuan, Wei Hongye, Lu Wu Chen, and Lin Yu Feng, who was among the disciples of Spear Abyss.

At this moment, they all looked solemn, gazing out of the city, oblivious to their footing and the boy's upward gaze.

"The Sect have also joined in."

"It's our turn, get ready!"

Shi Tianjin's eyes shone brightly, and his whole body exuded a powerful Aura of immortal Immortal Power, clearly indicating that he was at the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer!

As they spoke, after the disciples of the various Sect flew away, figures instantly rose into the air from the Wildfire Army's city camp. Li Hao used his Divine Sense to look down from the sky and found that they were indeed like sparks igniting on the ground, illuminating the entire city camp!

"Follow me to kill, and you will achieve Immortal Merit!"

Shi Tianjin let out a low roar and took off first.
