Yang Immortal Venerable's Hesitation

With a cold expression, Yang Immortal Venerable swung his demon-subduing Demon-Subduing Pestle and chopped at the head of the Demon Venerable in front of him.

Golden Thunder coiled around his Demon-Subduing Pestle, bursting forth from its tip and instantly cleaving the Demon Venerable's entire upper body into a bloody pulp. The remaining force then poured into the earth, leaving a massive crater resembling a nuclear explosion.

The dust kicked up by the explosion dragged a large group of Demon Race into the fray, crushing them into pieces.

Then the Immortal Imperial Army formed ranks and charged forward, wiping out a large number of Demon Race in the vicinity with overwhelming force.

Yang Immortal Venerable withdrew the golden halo behind his head, and the Five Paths Reincarnation phantom images of reincarnation that had appeared behind him gradually disappeared into nothingness. Then, he instructed, "Enter meditation here for one hour to recover your energy, and then continue on your journey."

The Immortals, who should have preferred freedom and ease, did not object to his Spartan-style strict orders. Instead, they immediately began to meditate and recover the energy they had consumed in the battle.

Their behavior was as if they had received some kind of order or mission in advance, and as if they were soldiers who always obeyed orders.

And indeed, this is the case. In the Immortal Realm connects to many Mortal World, the life and death of Mortals and Cultivators within a single world are naturally less important to the Immortal Venerable Immortal Emperor than a single step in their power struggles.

After the Immortal Imperial Army members sat down to meditate, Yang Immortal Venerable also found a place to sit down. He did not meditate; after the Reincarnation Realm, the Six Paths of Reincarnation within his body would continuously convert Spirit Qi into Immortal Power. Generally speaking, Immortal Venerable would not have the problem of lacking mana.

He pulled a charred, square object from his pouch, stroked it, and hesitated.

Although His Majesty has reached an agreement with that thing, this is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin. Once it gets out of control, even Immortal Emperor would not be able to withstand the backlash from that thing.

"... Immortal Venerable."

Should I give him the thing or not...?

"Yang Immortal Venerable."

Hearing others calling his name, Yang Immortal Venerable snapped out of his reverie, looked up, and asked, "What is it?"

"Reporting to the Immortal Venerable."

His Adjutant bowed and reported, "An hour has passed, and the brothers have all rested well."

"Yeah?"

Yang Immortal Venerable stood up, packed his things, and ordered, "Then, everyone assemble, let's depart immediately."

It took Bai Qiuran quite a while to help Su Xiangxue finish those tedious tasks.

There's no way Records it; paperwork like this isn't like fighting. No matter how strong his fist is, when faced with this kind of written work, he can only sit down obediently, read it word by word, and write it stroke by stroke.

After completing these tasks, Bai Qiuran became even more determined to "slack off whenever possible" in her work.

Bai Qiuran stayed in Yunzhou for nearly half a month, helping the Hehuan Sect and the Immortal City Jade Tower with the post-disaster reconstruction work. Then he immediately set off for Yongzhou, the region where the headquarters of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, the Divine Army Camp, was located.

All the Demon Race along the way have been defeated, and the few remaining ones will be dealt with by the Cultivators in the foreseeable future.

After a period of travel, and taking care of the Demon Race encountered along the way, Bai Qiuran successfully arrived at the headquarters of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, the location of the Divine Army Camp.

As the most militarized of the Five Great Sects of the Righteous Path Alliance, the Headquarters of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army is essentially a fortress nestled in a valley, impregnable and unassailable.

However, this supposedly invincible castle has already been breached once by the Demon Race. A Demon Venerable destroyed the castle's Formation and gates with Fist Force fist, leaving a trench at least 150 miles long in the Divine Martial Heavenly Army's main camp.

Bai Qiuran could clearly see the huge mark in the sky, which symbolized the shame and pain of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army sect. However, now, there were no Demon Race to be seen in the city, and a group of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army disciples, led by their Battalion Commander, were carrying out reconstruction work.

Bai Qiuran quietly descended and entered the sect of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, searching for someone she knew and wanting to inquire about the Immortal Imperial Army.

The Divine Martial Heavenly Army disciples passing by him all had faces full of exhaustion and sorrow. In this Demon Tide, the Divine Martial Heavenly Army was also the super sect that suffered the most severe damage. After this blow, if the Divine Martial Heavenly Army does not continue to recuperate, it may not even be able to remain a first-grade sect.

After walking around, Bai Qiuran couldn't find anyone he recognized, but someone suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Is that Senior Bai?"

Bai Qiuran turned around and saw a woman standing behind him wearing tattered armor of a Shenwu Divine Martial Heavenly Army officer. She was tall and slender with a dignified air, and her long black hair was tied into a neat ponytail, but her face looked somewhat tired.

This person was none other than Zuo Yanfei, Bai Qiuran's good friend in the Divine Martial Heavenly Army, the one who held the Steel Plate in her family.

"So it's Miss Zuo."

Bai Qiuran cupped her hands in a respectful gesture.

"You flatter me, senior, you are a benefactor to our village."

Zuo Yanfei shook her head, then asked, "Are you looking for someone, senior?"

"Yes, but I'm not specifically looking for anyone. I just want to ask around through an acquaintance."

Bai Qiuran shook his head, then said to Zuo Yanfei, "Since Miss Zuo is here, may I ask where those Immortal Imperial Army went?"

"Sure."

Zuo Yanfei nodded and replied, "They crossed the Western Lands and headed towards the Savage Lands."

Do you know exactly which direction they're heading?

Bai Qiuran.

He had only asked casually, without much expectation, but to his surprise, Zuo Yanfei replied, "I know, the Battalion Commander thought the Army Commander might be in the Savage Lands, so he sent out scouts to search for him. The scouts also took a look and discovered that the Immortal Imperial Army was heading due west."

"Due west... I understand."

Bai Qiuran.

"You just said... that Army Commander Zhao Tianzong might also be in the Savage Lands, is that right?"

"Yes."

Zuo Yanfei nodded, and then explained it to Bai Qiuran.

It turns out that after obtaining the Spatial Arts from the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode, the Divine Martial Heavenly Army had been dedicated to researching how to apply Spatial Technology to warfare on a large scale.

They have initially developed a talisman that allows users to quickly Teleportation long distances, but the spatial positioning is not accurate, so it is still in the experimental stage.

Zhao Tianzong possessed such a talisman, whose location was set in a relatively safe spot in the Savage Lands.

When the Demon Race stormed into the Divine Martial Heavenly Army Divine Army Camp, Zhao Tianzong, like Jueyunzi and the others, immediately decided to have his disciples take refuge in the Wisdom Immortal Cave Abode through the Spatial Passage.

However, this Army Commander was rather reckless and unlucky. While he was personally covering the rear, the Spatial Passage was accidentally shattered by a Demon Venerable, causing him to become separated from his sect's disciples.

Zuo Yanfei and the others originally thought that their Sect Master had died in battle or been captured by the Demon Race, but now that the Demon Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou have been wiped out by the Immortal Imperial Army, there is still no trace of Zhao Tianzong.

Within the sect, the Life Stone linked to Zhao Tianzong's life indicates that this Army Commander is still Mortal World.

Therefore, the members of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army believed that the only possibility was that Zhao Tianzong had used an unfinished talisman before the crisis and was randomly Teleportation to some place in the Savage Lands.

"Is Senior Bai going along?"

After she finished speaking, Zuo Yanfei asked another question.

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran understood what she meant, and seeing the girl's shy expression, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, if I find Zhao Tianzong's whereabouts, I will bring him back with me."

"Thank you very much, Senior Bai."

Zuo Yanfei bowed apologetically and said, "Currently, the sect is short-staffed, and we really don't have any more manpower to send to the Savage Lands to search for the Army Commander's whereabouts."
