Transporting Troops

The Purple Bamboo Mountain Range are located in the central part of Yu State, stretching for tens of thousands of miles. This is the ancestral home of the Qian Family.

The Qian Family has a history of over three thousand years. At its peak, the Qian Family had two Nascent Soul Cultivator. Later, the Qian Family encountered several great calamities, and the two Nascent Soul Cultivator died.

Over the years, the Qian Family has been on a downward spiral, but fortunately Qian Family still have Core Formation Cultivator, which allows them to barely maintain a semblance of dignity.

Deep within the Purple Bamboo Mountain Range, flames soared into the sky, revealing numerous corpses, all members of the Zhang Family.

A deafening explosion came from high above, and a huge golden light shot into the sky, very conspicuous.

A figure fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

With a loud bang, a huge crater appeared in the ground, billowing smoke and dust.

As the smoke cleared, a purple -Purple-Robed Elder Purple-Robed Elder, covered in wounds, could be seen inside the pit. His face was filled with resentment, his chest was sunken, and he was lifeless.

The golden light dissipated, revealing a burly man in a golden robe with a pair of Golden Feather Wings on his back.

The burly man in the golden shirt wore golden gauntlets on his hands, exuding a Sha Qi aura.

Several Escape Light flew in from a distance, then stopped in a flash, revealing the figures of five men and one woman.

"Did you catch up?"

The burly man in the golden robe asked.

Wu Tu, Core Formation Late Stage, hails from the Black Crow Tribe and possesses Human Race blood.

"We've caught up. From this day forward, the Qian Family is history."

A burly Red-Robed Elder said in a deep voice.

"Quickly clean up the battlefield, scavenge cultivation resources, and leave immediately. If we're blocked by the main force of the Human Race, that would be troublesome."

Wu Tu gave the order.

They were ordered to penetrate deep into the Human Race territory, causing chaos everywhere, attacking Human Race transport convoys, Marketplace, or cultivation Lineage.

"Yes, Fellow Daoist Wu."

Everyone readily agreed and dispersed to scavenge cultivation resources.

After a short while, they left. Several days later, a cultivator passed by and discovered the ruins of the Qian Family land. The news spread, and the major powers of the Yu Kingdom strengthened their defenses.

At almost the same time, Barbarian Race cultivators appeared in all Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the East Hua Cultivation World. These Barbarian Race cultivators attacked Human Race Marketplace, mines, and Spirit Herb Garden everywhere. Some Evil Cultivator also joined in, burning, killing, and looting.

Several major powers mobilized their forces to eliminate these Barbarian Race cultivators and Evil Cultivator, while simultaneously strengthening their defenses.

······

The Qin Kingdom, the Thousand Spirit Mountain Range.

A streak of blue Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards the Thousand Spirit Mountain Range.

A flash of blue light appeared, and the blue Escape Light stopped, revealing a flying boat shimmering with blue light. Shen Long and the others stood on it.

"Finally back."

Qian Dafu breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, they heard about the Barbarian Race cultivators causing destruction everywhere, but fortunately they did not encounter Barbarian Race them.

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat immediately emitted a dazzling blue light, flying forward.

A patrol team approached, led by a tall young man in a gold shirt.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Shen and Uncle Xu."

The young man in the golden shirt bowed deeply, his expression solemn.

Shen Long's deeds spread throughout the Spirit Control Sect, and many disciples had seen Shen Long portrait.

"Is everything alright within the sect?"

Shen Long asked.

"No! About half a year ago, a group of Evil Cultivator Evil Cultivator attacked the Lin Family. Fortunately, our people arrived in time and wiped them out."

"That's what the young man in the gold shirt said."

Shen Long nodded, made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat flew forward.

After a while, the Sea-Crossing Boat landed on a Bluestone Square, and the cultivators disembarked. He Xin led a group of cultivators out to greet them.

"Junior Brother Shen, Junior Brother Xu, you've worked hard."

He Xin said.

"Senior Brother He, send someone to take good care of these wounded. We need to report to our Sect Master leader."

Shen Long said.

"No problem, leave it to me. You guys go find the Sect Master leader!"

He Xin said, "Send people to settle these wounded."

Shen Long stowed away the Sea-Crossing Boat and went with Xu Yang to Chen Xiao's residence to report the battle losses to Chen Xiao in person.

"Such heavy losses? Hasn't the final battle even begun?"

Chen Xiao frowned and said.

"Currently, there aren't many Nascent Soul Cultivator killed or wounded, but I estimate the Barbarian Race have suffered greater losses. We are saddened, but they are not faring well either."

Shen Long analyzed.

"Sect Master Leader, this is what Uncle-Master Liu asked us to bring back. We need these cultivation resources, and we also need to mobilize five hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivator to go to the front lines with us."

Xu Yang took out a Golden Jade Slip and handed it to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao scanned the area with his Divine Sense, nodded, and said, "Supplies are easy to arrange. We can't draw all five hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivator from our sect; we need to recruit Foundation Establishment Cultivator from affiliated forces. This will take some time, so you should all rest well first."

"Sect Master Leader, the battle at the front is intense, and there isn't much time. We need to recruit those affiliated forces. Just tell us, and we'll go directly there, take them with us, and then head to the front."

Shen Long said.

"Yes! We brought back a group of seriously wounded soldiers. Many of our disciples were injured. The sooner we get to the front lines, the fewer casualties we'll suffer. We can't let them continue fighting the Barbarian Race cultivators while they're injured."

Xu Yang said.

Every time they clash with Barbarian Race cultivators, all major powers must send a certain number of cultivators to participate in the battle. This is the rule. The Ten Thousand Swords Sect Ten Thousand Swords Sect sets an example by sending many disciples to fight every time they go to war with Barbarian Race cultivators. Other powers do not avoid the battle either.

"Alright! We will transfer two hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivator Foundation Establishment Cultivator our Spirit Control Sect and three hundred from our affiliated forces. I will provide you with a detailed list."

Chen Xiao said.

He took out paper and pen and wrote in front of everyone.

The strength of the subordinate forces varies. Stronger subordinate forces will recruit more Foundation Establishment Cultivator, while weaker subordinate forces will naturally not need to send too many Foundation Establishment Cultivator to participate in the battle.

Chen Xiao drafted a list, contacted He Xin, and requested resources to be drawn from the sect's Treasure Vault, as well as Foundation Establishment Cultivator from within the sect.

A cup of tea, and everything is settled.

Chen Tianxue has also recovered. Upon learning that Shen Long and Xu Yang have returned, she immediately rushed to Chen Xiao's residence, intending to go to the front line with Shen Long and the others.

Shen Long, Xu Yang, and Chen Tianxue arrived at a Bluestone Square where two hundred disciples of the Spirit Control Sect had gathered. Ning Qianqian was also among them; she was currently in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. He Xin and Chen Xiao stood to the side.

"Greetings, Uncle-Master Shen, Uncle Xu, and Aunt Chen."

Ning Qianqian and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivator bowed respectfully, their expressions solemn.

"The situation at the front is critical, so I won't waste any more words. This is also an opportunity for you; it's up to you to seize it. Come with me."

After saying this, Shen Long summoned the Sea-Crossing Boat.

"Junior Brother Shen, these are the cultivation resources that Uncle-Master Liu requested. Please take them with you!"

He Xin took out a Cyan Storage Bag and handed it to Shen Long.

Shen Long scanned the area with his divine sense, nodded, and walked onto the cross-sea boat. Xu Yang, Chen Tianxue, Ning Qianqian, and the others followed one after another.

Shen Long made a hand seal, and the Sea-Crossing Boat emitted a dazzling blue light, flying into the sky.

"I hope the war ends soon! If it continues, we won't be able to hold out any longer."

He Xin sighed.

"Give the order to convene the Immortal Ascension Assembly ahead of schedule and open the gates to accept disciples."

Chen Xiao gave the instructions.
