Master Ice Silkworm Reached the Front Lines
Golden Crow Grassland, Golden Crow City.
In a magnificent golden hall, a voluptuous Purple-Skirted Woman sat on the main seat, her gaze authoritative.
A man of medium build, dressed in a blue robe, was reporting to Purple-Skirted Woman, his expression grave.
"Two strongholds of the Golden Ape Tribe were attacked, all guards were killed, and two Nascent Soul Cultivator perished. The number, cultivation level, and Divine Ability of the enemy are unknown."
The man in the blue robe reported.
"Give the order: all major tribes should strengthen their defenses, gather their forces, and prevent Human Race cultivators from launching sneak attacks. Dispersing the Nascent Soul Cultivator will create opportunities for the Human Race cultivators to divide and annihilate them. Select one Nascent Soul Cultivator from each major tribe to form a team specifically to capture Human Race cultivators who have penetrated deep into our Barbarian Race territory."
The Purple-Skirted Woman gave the order.
Wu Na, Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, is a descendant of Wu Xiao.
"Yes, Elder Wu."
The man in the blue robe agreed and left to carry out the order.
······
In a secluded underground cave, Shen Long, True Monarch Golden Crow, Lin Qing, and Xu Mei were talking about something, with a topographical map laid out on the ground.
"We have already captured a mine and a large Spirit Herb Garden, which is quite an achievement. This has definitely attracted the attention of the Barbarian Race. I am a high-ranking member of the Barbarian Race, and they will surely organize experts to capture us. I suggest we lay low for a while and then strike again."
Shen Long suggested.
"That's right, we shouldn't continue our attack. We should lay low for a while and wait a bit before making any moves."
Lin Qing expressed his strong agreement.
Xu Mei shared the same idea. They had captured two strongholds of the Golden Ape Tribe and obtained a considerable amount of cultivation resources. They should be content and wait a while before launching another attack.
True Monarch Golden Crow nodded and said, "That's what I meant too. Let's Secluded Cultivation here for a while and then launch our attack."
······
Barbarian-Resisting City, Spirit Control Garden.
Master Ice Silkworm and Du Yinyin were sitting around Zhang Qing stone table, talking about something.
"He's away on an important mission? What mission?"
Master Ice Silkworm frowned and asked.
He made a trip to the Southern Border Cultivation World and used Law Treasure to exchange for four Inner Core of fourth-tier demon silkworms. He fed them to the Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm, which successfully advanced to the fourth tier.
When he and Han Yuwei returned to the East Hua Cultivation World, they learned that the Human Race and the Barbarian Race had gone to war, so they rushed over immediately. Shen Long had already gone out on a mission.
"I don't know. Fellow Daoist Lu asked him to keep it a secret. Junior Brother Shen won't be back for a while. I suspect he's gone deep into the Barbarian Race territory to cause trouble."
Du Yinyin guessed.
Human Race and Barbarian Race have been fighting for millions of years and are familiar with each other's tactics.
"To infiltrate deep into Barbarian Race territory and cause trouble?"
Master Ice Silkworm frowned. This mission was very dangerous; they might end up surrounded by Barbarian Race.
Du Yinyin nodded and said, "Yes! This is also a good thing for Junior Brother Shen. Staying on the front line is still very dangerous. He has killed many Nascent Soul Cultivator, so he must have been targeted by the Barbarian Race. He might end up repeating Wang Yinghu's mistake."
Wang Yinghu was powerful and was targeted by Barbarian Race cultivators. They used the Soul-Extinguishing Bead to ambush Wang Yinghu Wang Yinghu, severely damaging his soul.
"I wish I had arrived sooner."
Master Ice Silkworm sighed.
"Don't worry too much. Junior Brother Shen is very strong, and he also has two mutated fourth-tier Spirit Insect. He'll be fine."
Du Yinyin comforted her.
"Let's hope so! Then again, more than forty Nascent Soul Cultivator have fallen in the more than twenty years of war. Who knows how long this will last?"
Master Ice Silkworm frowned and said.
"Anyway, the Barbarian Race will definitely not be able to hold out first. After this battle, we will be able to expand our territory. With the merits of our Spirit Control Sect, we should be able to gain some territory."
Du Yinyin's face showed anticipation.
She and Shen Long joined forces to kill several Nascent Soul Cultivator, which were all merits of the war. If the Human Race could expand its territory, the Spirit Control Sect could also obtain a piece of land. This was Mo Wuya's promise to boost morale; otherwise, who would fight bravely?
"You and Shen Long have worked hard. It's my turn to contribute in the upcoming battles. My Life Spirit Insect has just advanced to the fourth rank."
Master Ice Silkworm: Confident.
Du Yinyin nodded, and after chatting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Master Ice Silkworm went back to rest.
······
A continuous, Emerald Green Mountain Range stretched out before a streak of Cyan Escape Light appeared on the distant horizon. It stopped abruptly, revealing a shimmering azure flying boat. A tall man in azure robes and a short, Yellow-Shirted Man robes stood aboard, both at the Golden Core Realm.
"The Spiritual Qi here is weak; they probably wouldn't be hiding here!"
The Yellow-Shirted Man looked curiously down at the Emerald Green Mountain Range.
"You're not really going to conduct a serious inspection, are you?!"
The man in the blue robe frowned as he spoke.
"Fellow Daoist Tu, what do you mean by this? A hefty reward has been offered for information leading to their whereabouts. Don't you want the reward?"
The Yellow-Shirted Man asked, puzzled.
"Compared to the reward, I'd rather save my own life. Even Nascent Soul Cultivator can't do anything to them, so what about us? Before we set off, we handed over our Life Soul Lamp, supposedly for unified management, just to make it easier to track the enemy. If something happens to us and our Life Soul Lamp go out, they'll seal off this area as quickly as possible, drag out the Human Race cultivators, and use us as cannon fodder to Human Race Nascent Soul Cultivator out."
The man in the blue shirt explained.
"But this is an order from above, are we supposed to disobey?"
The Yellow-Shirted Man asked, puzzled.
"Who said we disobeyed orders? We've been diligently carrying out our mission; we just haven't spotted the enemy yet."
The man in the blue robe spoke solemnly, and the blue flying boat flew forward.
They didn't use their Divine Sense to explore; they simply circled the mountain range and left.
In a secluded underground cave, Shen Long and his three companions gathered together, with a map laid out in front of them.
"These two guys are quite sensible, otherwise I would have killed them."
Lin Qing said.
"The Barbarian Race are now sending their juniors as bait to lure us out. We're not stupid. But we've been recuperating for more than half a year, so it's time to find another target."
"That's what the True Monarch Golden Crow said."
"In my opinion, the Ice Bear Tribe is a very good target. They have more large-scale Spirit Herb Garden, and not many Nascent Soul Cultivator left behind. They're an easy target."
Shen Long said.
"According to our intelligence, all three locations have large Spirit Herb Garden belonging to the Ice Bear Tribe, with the Green Bamboo Mountain Range being the most remote."
Xu Mei pointed to the map and said.
"Then let's attack this Spirit Herb Garden! But before that, we need to mobilize some high-level Barbarian Race cultivators. First, kill a few Core Formation Cultivator to lure the high-level Barbarian Race cultivators to another location, and then attack the Spirit Herb Garden in the Green Bamboo Mountain Range."
"That's what the True Monarch Golden Crow said."
"Leave this to me! I'll meet up with you later."
Shen Long volunteered.
True Monarch Golden Crow nodded and instructed, "Fellow Daoist Shen, do not linger in battle. Retreat immediately after you have succeeded."
Shen Long agreed, and after chatting for an hour, Shen Long left, while the three True Monarch Golden Crow headed towards the Green Bamboo Mountain Range.
