Chapter 420: Chapter 368: Who Cares About The Torrential Flood (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2

The emergence of the Ten Evils from the Ten Thousand Mountains plunged Shu into chaos, yet it did not force this figure to surface, naturally because the place presided over by this Demon Suppression General is of greater importance!

Eight Demon Kingdoms.

This place is known as the Eight Heavenly Tribes’ Dragons of the Buddhist realm, and the horror of it lies not only in the fact that these members of the Eight Tribes are eight ferociously exceptional demons with vast Divine Skills. Most importantly, these demons have significant ties to the Western Pure Land.

Inside, some fellows have been recruited and become the Protecting Sect, akin to having an official role, adding a layer of complexity. If they err, escape and devour humans, and are captured and hunted down, there will be a powerful monk chanting Amitabha Buddha to lead them away. Where would you even begin to reason with that?

Rumors say the closer you get to the Pure Land, the more terrifying it becomes, resembling a hell on earth, with scenes of skeletons like ridges, bones like forests, human hair tangled into felt, human flesh rotten into dust, sinews wound around trees, dry and gleaming like silver, mountains of corpses, oceans of blood, foul and stinking.

The Western Pure Land lies right next to this hell on earth, a bizarre and ironic juxtaposition!

Worst of all, unrest in this place indicates that the mysterious lands of the Western Pure Land are also in turmoil, making the dangers within hard to fathom.

The Heavenly General, Qi Tian, has been stationed in this place for years; one can only imagine the terrifying extent of his strength.

Outsiders know very little about the Demon Country and cannot comprehend it, naturally unaware.

Zhongli, however, has learned from secret communications within The Overseers that this General possesses a bow, fashioned from Asura Bone for the bow body, Yaksha Horn for the arrows, and the sinews of Dragon Naga for the string, with boundless power.

These demons are equivalent to the Human Clan’s Dragon and Tiger!

Mad?

Zhongli thinks that if he had such strength, he might be even crazier than this General.

As for what he mentioned in his message about the "biggest variable", naturally, the Three Families had not originally considered that this Demon Suppression General, who has been stationed in the Demon Country for years and rarely shows his face, would intervene.

In any case, there were too many surprises. The machinations of the Three Families were thoroughly dashed this time. They might as well accept it and make new plans.

It’s clear that this Demon Suppression Envoy is not muddled; his considerations are very clear.

After hearing Zhongli’s message, the faces of the Three Families’ Martial Vault twitched a few times, but in the end, they remained silent, swallowing the breath in their throats for the time being.

Seeing Zhongli’s stance, the Demon Suppression General Qi Tian did not say much else, but looked meaningfully at the Court-appointed assistant General, smiled, then gave the order:

"Since you have reached a consensus, Envoy Zhongli, then lead your army and set out immediately."

"Time waits for no one!"

Zhongli was decisive, accepting promptly with a "Acknowledged!"

He expressed his respect with a salutation, then turned around, exchanged a glance with the Three Families’ Martial Vault, and soared up into the sky, heading towards the Central Army.

The Martial Vault of the Three Families followed, though their expressions were somewhat somber. They too could only take one step at a time and wait for news from home.

Before leaving, they all gave Chen Yuan a deep look.

Soon, the sounds of whistles rose one after another in the Court’s army camp, orders were issued by flight, and the scattered troops began to assemble and form ranks.

And at this moment, on the flying eaves above the ruins, only Qi Tian and Chen Yuan remained.

"Chen Yuan!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Qi Tian turned his imposing face to call out to Chen Yuan.

"Great General!"

Chen Yuan responded.

"I often hear your name mentioned!"

"You’ve done well, ruthless enough, but consider your contingency plans before you act. You’ve killed countless demons in the Ten Thousand Mountains, you might be used to it, but human hearts are more ferocious and venomous than demons. You need to be on your guard."

"That Northern Sea Dragon Girl helped you today, revealed her True Body; that might cause trouble, you should be careful."

What Chen Yuan did not expect was that the Demon Suppression General did not reprimand him but instead offered him a few pieces of advice, as if he knew quite a bit about him. He did not even need to ask about the events that transpired, even knowing the identity of the Northern Sea Dragon Girl.

This surprised him.

"How does the General know all this?"

Qi Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his resolute and imposing face cracked a rare smile, "The General ought to know all matters, not one less, but sometimes, human power has its limits."

Upon saying this, a hint of solitude appeared on the face of the Demon Suppression General.

"Old generations are replaced by new ones; many have died. Even when cultivating to the realm of this General, there’s often little that can be done."

"Chen Yuan, your potential in Martial Arts is astonishingly brilliant, and your future is promising. Sometimes, there is no need to be burdened by fame. If the day comes when the war situation is beyond salvation, just leave; there is no need for unnecessary sacrifice."

Chen Yuan did not expect his direct superior to say these things upon their first meeting, which seemed to contain deeper meanings.

A situation in the war that cannot be salvaged?

He was very perceptive and felt a sense of foreboding.

"General, your teachings are gratefully received. May I ask if there is any new situation prompting your words?" Chen Yuan asked directly.

After all, everyone has cognitive biases.

It is only upon reaching higher mountains that one can see further vistas.

This Demon Suppression General, elusive as a dragon showing its head but not its tail, has already transcended the Martial Vault and stepped into the Dragon Tiger Realm. Speaking such words made Chen Yuan feel that he had to be extra cautious.

Qi Tian was somewhat appreciative of Chen Yuan’s sharpness; unexpectedly, Chen Yuan had sensed his implications from just a mere exclamation.

He admired Chen Yuan, the rising star of The Overseers, paying him much attention. After all, Chen Yuan was a native talent cultivated by The Overseers themselves, and with the current heavy casualties and no one to succeed the ranks, it was both rational and emotional for him to feel a certain closeness.

He did not hide anything from Chen Yuan, his gaze drifting to the snowstorm, his tone profound,

"This time my appearance is not really for you, but because there’s trouble in the west. We need more hands, and I am here to recruit these people."

"Those people at the Court, most of them cherish life and fear death, only focusing on protecting themselves. Seeing that Shu has Treasures, they want to reach out for them. There’s no such cheap bargain in the world; the key is to involve more people in the issue."

"But human resources will eventually be exhausted!"

"Chen Yuan, leading the brothers of The Overseers, consider more for yourself. I will issue an order that allows you to mobilize forces from other Prefectures. If anyone causes you to grow cold-hearted, just act as you did today, regardless of the torrents or skies, you’re free to follow your heart."

Qi Tian spoke like someone who had been there before, knowing the worries and difficulties Chen Yuan faced.

And Chen Yuan’s heart could not help but be moved.

When others accuse you of being rebellious and arrogant, yet there is someone telling you that you are doing the right thing and should continue without hesitation, such feelings left a sour taste in his heart.

The loneliness he had felt on his journey seemed to dissipate at this moment.

"Many thanks, General!"

He bowed deeply!

This time, it was a bow of genuine respect from the heart.

Qi Tian’s eyes slightly curved,

"I hope you can advance valiantly in Martial Arts and one day stand shoulder to shoulder with me in battle, to carve out a bright day under the wide sky."

"That’s all I wanted to say."

"Order the others to disperse, and let the army pass through the gate!"

........

Thirty minutes later,

The entirety of Tianxiong Pass was focused.

On the main artery of Southern City, the troops of Tianxiong Pass Mansion Army and Jiange Pass stood aside, saluting as they looked toward the cleared main route.

At this moment, on the main route, the rumble of iron hooves and the clanking of iron armor reverberated, shaking Southern City.

The Court’s 150,000-strong army, reorganized and ready, with flags fluttering, faced the wind and snow. From the sky to the ground, they became torrents of force, rushing towards Southern City Pass beyond the gate.

Exiting Tianxiong Pass, entering Shu territory, and advancing westward!

This also marked the end of a battle that had shaken Tianxiong Pass, with a conclusion now reached.

Countless people could not calm their feelings for a long time.

Nine Colonels, Demon Suppression Envoy, the stand-off between two armies, the three Dragon Tiger figures, the Silver True Dragon, the Demon Suppression General, the appearance of each character, seemed to herald an age of great waves and grandeur about to arrive in Shu.

A mad song of Martial Arts, the Demon Battlefield, great changes between heaven and earth, leading heroes to compete for supremacy.

And this battle was destined to shake Shu, spread throughout nearby Worldly societies, and then reach all the way to the Court!
