The Clear Scenery Alliance's great victory brought jubilation to the entire army.
On the other hand, the Spring-Extinguishing Alliance was in complete ruin.
The Spirit-Seeking Sect.
High Person Jinke sat in the main seat, looking down at his two most promising juniors.
One had lost half an arm and his face was gloomy; the other sat on the edge, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.
True Person Wang arrived late, bowed respectfully to High Person Jinke, then sat a little further away, lowering his eyes as if lost in thought.
How could he not be furious?
He slammed his hand down, shattering the desk in front of him into pieces, and roared, "Useless! A bunch of useless trash!"
Everyone in the hall trembled, not daring to even breathe.
His voice was deep and hoarse. He should have looked like a wise and enlightened person, but at this moment, his face was dark and he was more demonic than a demon, with an uncontrollable anger.
"Thirty thousand troops! Three Golden Core! Even if things go wrong, with the natural defenses of Wild Geese South Pass, you could still hold that pass firmly and keep the enemy out... But what about you?"
"You were utterly routed by the enemy! How dare you come back to see me?"
True Person Lingguang cried out in protest, "Ancestor!"
"It's not that we're unwilling to do our best, but that old man He's strength... far surpasses that of any of us."
"And then there's Mei Yingxue, and Shi Yan... It was already a struggle for the few of us to hold off all three of them... Look at me, I've lost half an arm!"
High Person Jinke's gaze was heavy as he looked at this junior whom he usually doted on the most, and at this moment he could no longer suppress his anger.
"I told you long ago, firstly, you have the Wild Geese South Pass, and secondly, the magic Law Treasure I bestowed upon you, which should be able to hold off that old man He... So why are you fighting so aggressively? And why have you wiped out the Golden Light Guard, which you've painstakingly honed over decades?"
"Ah?"
True Person Lingguang remained silent.
He knew that the more he spoke, the more wrong he would become, but if he didn't speak... this ancestor, out of consideration for their shared bloodline, might be able to turn the matter into a minor one, and then let it go.
If you say anything more, you'll only get scolded even more severely.
High Person Jinke's anger grew even stronger, but he also knew that this was his own junior.
In the end Spirit-Seeking Sect Seeking Sect's foundation is still no match for the Jade Spring Sect... In addition, the Jade Spring Sect's elixirs are sold to various countries, bringing with them a massive amount of various precious materials and Spirit Stone.
He had been pondering how to break this deadlock ever since the start of the war.
The most urgent task.
With Wild Geese South Pass breached, Cang Province, where it was located, no longer had any natural defenses to stop the Clear Scenery Alliance from advancing unimpeded.
Despite his burning anger, he knew he couldn't afford to do anything that would cause serious harm.
Seeing that his ancestor remained silent, True Person Lingguang knew it was his turn to speak. He deliberately concealed his missing arm and stepped forward, asking, "Ancestor, what should we do next?"
"Should we strengthen the defenses of Ling Province... or...?"
High Person Jinke's face remained somber for a long while before he finally said in a low voice, "In a war of attrition, we cannot defeat a powerful sect like the Jade Spring Sect... Judging from their appearance, they want a quick victory, so we cannot grant them their wish!"
"That is..."
He paused, his gaze deepening. "The only solution now is to bring in outside help!"
foreign aid?
The three Golden Core cultivators below were momentarily lost in thought.
The True Person Xuanguang's eyes darted around, and he asked, "Ancestor... are you from the Transformation Sect?"
The old man in the Late Golden Core Stage stage from the Transformation Sect who came to the Jing Kingdom last time was beaten several times by True Person Bo and fled back in a sorry state... In addition, the Transformation Sect is currently extremely busy in the Xu Kingdom, so how could they possibly send anyone to support his Spirit-Seeking Sect?
The High Person Jinke's eyes, shimmering with a deep emerald green, said in a deep voice, " The Transformation Sect is already overwhelmed with its own troubles, how could it possibly come to our aid?"
"That is..."
True Person Lingguang looked at his ancestor with hopeful eyes.
Clear Scenery Alliance, main camp.
Wild Geese South Pass has been completely wiped out and brought under the control of the Clear Scenery Alliance.
Just like every territory they had previously conquered, the cultivators of the Jade Spring Sect swiftly stepped forward, deactivated the original formations, and re-established protective and communication formations to reconnect with the rest of the region.
The accompanying Alchemist set up a temporary medical tent and began to receive and treat the wounded.
The disciples in charge of logistics were busy counting the captured supplies, registering them, and classifying them for storage.
But the busiest among them were the disciples responsible for tallying the merits.
Those Rogue Cultivator, disciples of Dharma lineages, disciples of cultivation Lineage, as well as inner and outer disciples of the Empty Sword Sect and Jade Spring Sect, can exchange their merit points for various cultivation supplies as long as they participate in the battle.
In no time, a long queue formed at the camp where supplies were exchanged.
Chen Shuangbai didn't join in the fun.
Since he didn't lack these external resources for cultivation, he stayed in a quiet room in Wild Geese South Pass to meditate and cultivate.
Fighting and killing others is the best way to grow.
Although Chen Shuangbai did not find a worthy opponent in this battle, it was not entirely without its gains.
He also had some considerable insights into the art of sword control. Now he was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, and [ Foot-Long Silk ] transformed into a streak of frost-blue light, circling around him. Sometimes it was like a dragon weaving through the air, and sometimes it was like a few cold stars, leaving behind beautiful and sharp trajectories in the air.
He slowly opened his eyes and extended his right hand.
As if sensing its master's call, the sword [ Foot-Long Silk ] emitted a clear and melodious sword cry and landed steadily in his palm.
Chen Shuangbai gazed at the spiritual sword that resonated with his soul, channeling his Law Power into it, refining it again and again, constantly purifying its essence, and nurturing the spirituality that was gestating within it.
"The day I achieve the Golden Core will also be the day you emerge from seclusion."
As if sensing its master's mood, [ Foot-Long Silk ] buzzed, and the layer of frost-blue light shone brightly again, lingering for a long time.
Da da da.
His Divine Sense was suddenly stirred.
Chen Shuangbai used the [ Diagram of the Flying Immortal Ascending to Clarity ] to hone his soul every night. As his soul grew stronger and healthier, his Divine Sense became more and more powerful. Even when he was in deep meditation, he could still sense everything around him.
Someone approached outside the quiet room.
As Chen Shuangbai stepped out of the quiet room, she saw Lin Jingtao talking to Feiguang.
Seeing his master emerge, Feiguang stepped forward and said, "Master, Senior Brother Lin has come to see you."
Chen Shuangbai nodded and looked at Lin Jingtao, who then Chen Shuangbai to a high hill outside Wild Geese South Pass.
On this hill, there was already a magnificent-looking imperial carriage parked.
The top was made of sandalwood and inlaid with various precious stones and gems. Strings of tassels hung from the roof, each tassel bead being a Shell Pearl of excellent quality, gleaming softly in the moonlight.
Standing before the imperial carriage was a noble young man dressed in fine clothes and wearing a golden crown. The moment he saw Chen Shuangbai, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, Brother Chen."
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.
This person was none other than Gao Hao from the Jade Wave Immortal Market on the Lingluo Spirit Gauze Sea.
