Chapter 536: The Demon and Aberrant Troops! Golden Toads, Wild Boars, Illegitimate gods Assaulting the Military Camps!
“We’ll withdraw tomorrow. Qingfeng Ridge may be treacherous terrain, but it can’t stop those demon clans and cultivators. There’s no need to fight a bloody battle here.” General Wei made a decisive call.
Large-scale participation of cultivators in warfare was exceedingly rare, and it left him feeling deeply constrained.
At this moment, a slightly plump young monk beside him suddenly stood up.
“Master Wuse, is something the matter?” someone asked.
This monk was none other than Wuse, the abbot of Jinguang Temple.
He had not appeared during the battle that destroyed Jinguang Temple, because at the time his inner demon had manifested and was on the verge of breaking free. Yet, thanks to the final heavenly lightning bolt back then, the inner demon within him had been suppressed and never resurfaced.
This time, after Prince Qing’s Mansion killed officials, seized military authority, rebelled in Donglin Prefecture, colluded with Demonic Daos, and massacred Huaiyang City, Master Wuse had only just arrived at the army and was now serving as General Wei Pingchuan’s personal guard.
He was a third realm Yang Spirit expert; alone, he could match thousands upon thousands of soldiers. However, the opposing army also had a Yang Spirit powerhouse. To strike rashly might trigger unforeseeable consequences. Thus, Wuse had not acted directly.
“Someone is coming. The one approaching is extremely strong, no weaker than this poor monk,” Wuse said in a low voice, his brows knitting as he carefully sensed the disturbance.
Wei Pingchuan’s expression changed. Master Wuse was a Yang Spirit expert capable of subduing dragons and tigers. Could it be that Daoist Spiritual Master Jiugong on the other side had made his move?
Wei Pingchuan reacted swiftly, picking up a white horn from the desk before him before he poured his true qi into it.
Suddenly, long, resonant horn calls instantly echoed throughout the entire military camp. This was a magical artifact refined by the court’s master artificers, one that could be activated even with a martial artist’s true qi.
