"Yes! Senior Xing, what do we do now? Do you still have a way to help us turn the situation around?"
Through the communication jade tablet, Jiang Ji's tone was clearly anxious.
"You just mentioned a sword-wielding legion, what kind of legion is it exactly? Tell me in detail."
"That's right. Although the commander of that legion is still at the Peak of the True Spirit Realm in terms of Spiritual Power, his sword intent is extremely high, and his strength is enough to be on par with mine."
The legion he brought only had about a thousand men, but each one was extremely strong, a veteran of countless battles. Even the combined elite legions of our four tribes couldn't stop their charge..."
Jiang Ji slowly recounted the information he had seen about the Demon-Slaying Sword.
"Where did such an elite force come from?"
After listening to Xing Le Jiang Ji's explanation, Xing Le had some guesses in his mind.
Although the Suspended Light Realm can see every corner of the Wilderness, only those whose Spiritual Power exceeds the Core Formation Realm will have their names marked on the Suspended Light Realm. Unless Xing Le actively seeks them out, he will not know that a legion has entered the Wilderness.
However, during his battles against the Otherworldly Demon these past few days, he noticed that these Otherworldly Demon seemed to be searching for a legion that used swords. He felt that the legion in Chen Village was very likely the Otherworldly Demon ' target.
"I understand! I've been quite busy lately, so you'll need to hold off for now."
Don't worry! No matter how strong Chen Village is, it can't possibly resist the rule of our Temple. You need to stay calm."
After Xing Le finished speaking, he disconnected the communication jade tablet without waiting for Jiang Ji's reply.
"Hmph! A bunch of useless trash. I gave you so much information, and you didn't accomplish a single thing."
Xing Le harbored considerable resentment towards Jiang Ji and now had no desire to engage with them.
Regardless, his identity is that of Temple messenger, and maintaining order in the Wilderness is his primary task.
He had to deal with the invasion of the Otherworldly Demon first; otherwise, if Su Wanyi found out that he had neglected his duties because of internal tribal strife, he would definitely suffer the consequences.
"I'll let you run wild for a while longer, then I'll deal with you slowly later."
He was unaware that Chen Mu had already left the Ancient Desolate Mining Area, so he acted with impunity.
Although the Suspended Light Realm could mark all the Core Formation Realm in the Wilderness, it showed no reaction to Chen Mu.
The reason for this is that Chen Mu cultivated the Fate Dao of Talismans.
The reason why the Suspended Light Realm can monitor the entire Wilderness is because it uses the power of the Rules of Heaven and Earth.
The Fate Dao of Talismans that Chen Mu cultivates is actually a kind of causal rule, which can strongly interfere with the spatial projection rules used by the Suspended Light Realm, so the Suspended Light Realm is basically useless to Chen Mu.
Chen Village, at Chen Mu's home.
Chen Mu and Mingye survived a near-death experience, and A Huo also returned from his training, making it a double celebration. Even Chen Zihu didn't stay on the front lines, but returned to Chen Village with Chen Duo.
As Chen Village has become increasingly wealthy, Chen Mu's house has undergone several renovations and is now comparable to the courtyards of many wealthy families in Central Land.
Chen Mu's mother, Meng Hui, decorated the house beautifully. Chen Zihu, Chen Hongjie, Zheng Fengdao, and others came to Chen Mu's house to celebrate the safe return of Chen Mu, Mingye, and A Huo.
" Chen Mu, you've already broken through to the Core Formation Realm?"
At the dinner table, Zheng Fengdao keenly sensed that Chen Mu's aura had become much stronger, and couldn't help but ask him about it.
"Yes, although I was trapped in the Ancient Desolate Mining Area, I unexpectedly obtained a Origin Spirit Fruit, and then naturally broke through to the next level."
Chen Mu smiled and briefly explained the reason.
Upon receiving a definite answer, Zheng Fengdao and the others at the table all showed expressions of surprise.
"Great! I want Origin Spirit Fruit too. Cultivating on my own is too hard. I don't know when I'll be able to break through."
Chen Duo said with a face full of envy.
"Forget it, Duoduo. Cultivation requires courage and diligence. Your Dao heart is not tempered enough. Even if you had Origin Spirit Fruit, I wouldn't dare give it to you. Otherwise, you'd suffer when you encounter the Heavenly Tribulation."
Chen Mu glanced at Chen Duo and warned her.
"Okay, I got it!"
Chen Duo pouted, not wanting to listen to Chen Mu's lecture anymore.
"Speaking of the Heavenly Tribulation, A Mu, I sensed the opportunity to break through a few months ago, and now it's showing signs of becoming uncontrollable. So I'll be undergoing my tribulation in the next few days, and I'll need your protection then."
This is actually one of the reasons why A Huo is coming back now.
"Alright! No problem, you can undergo your tribulation in the training ground. I guarantee no one will interfere with you."
Chen Mu wasn't surprised that A Huo could break through so quickly, because A Huo was purely cultivating Spiritual Power, unlike himself who cultivated both soul and spirit, and also studied the Dao of Talismans, making his knowledge diverse.
A Huo's breakthrough at this point is already a result of suppression. His year of honing his skills on the Otherworldly Demon Battlefield is comparable to ten years of arduous cultivation in a mountain cave. The help that life-or-death battles provide to cultivation is unparalleled by any other method.
As for the issue of undergoing tribulation, it is generally not advisable to undergo tribulation within a city.
Because of the overwhelming power of Heaven, when lightning strikes, it is easy to accidentally injure civilians in the city. If a civilian dies, Heavenly Dao will consider it a sin committed by the person undergoing tribulation. The karmic evil of the person undergoing tribulation will increase, making it even more difficult to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.
However, within the inner city of Chen Village, Chen Mu was confident in the defenses he had set up. With Xiaozhi controlling the defensive mechanisms, he was fully capable of withstanding the aftershocks of the Heavenly Tribulation without affecting A Huo's tribulation.
"Good!"
A Huo nodded gratefully to Chen Mu, everything understood without words.
"By the way, what's the situation at the front now? Are there any obstacles encountered?"
Seeing that Chen Zihu had returned, Chen Mu couldn't help but become concerned about the battle at the front.
"Don't worry! We've taken over the Jianglan Tribe's territory. The other tribes are terrified and wouldn't dare to cause any trouble."
With the Five Elements Army guarding the front line for now, I plan to rest for another ten days to half a month, appease the civilians, and then swallow up the Jianglan Tribe.
With you guys around, those people can't really cause any trouble.
Chen Zihu laughed heartily, his face beaming.
The surprise attack on the Jianglan Tribe made the Five Elements Army and the Demon-Slaying Sword famous, and now their reputation is being sung throughout the entire Wilderness.
Chen Village's current momentum is at its zenith and unstoppable. Many low- and middle-level tribes within the territories of the Jianglan Tribe and Flame Blessing Tribe have already sent envoys to surrender without Chen Village even having to attack them.
"That's good. However, the person behind this has immense power, so it's best not to let our guard down."
Chen Mu nodded and offered a reminder.
"Brother, who do you think is behind this?"
Chen Duo chuckled.
"Who else in the entire Wilderness could possess such power?"
I estimate that 90% of them are from the Temple.
After Chen Mu finished speaking, everyone nodded slightly, clearly indicating that they had already thought of this.
