Chapter 672 - 672 36 Venerable Wu Gou_2
672: Chapter 36 Venerable Wu Gou_2 672: Chapter 36 Venerable Wu Gou_2 It was only when Master Tang arrived at the scene that he managed to suppress the Sea Surfing King.
“The Southwestern frontline may seem like it’s separately divided, but in actuality, it is rather fragile.
The scale of Lingqu City, chosen as the initial foothold, is so small that it can hardly accommodate Treasure Ship Cultivators.
Clearly, the Great Chu Imperial Family does not expect the Southwestern frontline to play a substantial role.”
Daoist Qian Yuan spoke slowly, once again looking at the youngest among the three, Xie Xuanyi.
He paused and said, “…Otherwise, they wouldn’t have appointed such a young cultivator as the ‘Inspector’ of an entire frontline.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanyi’s expression remained unchanged, but Ye Qinglian’s expression turned somewhat grim.
An entire frontline has two Inspectors.
The selection of Inspectors is naturally based on the power of their backing and their own strength.
The two Inspectors of the Southwestern frontline are Jiang Que, the battle-hardened venerator of the Jiang Family, and Ye Qinglian, the Young Valley Master of Baihua Valley…
As for Xie Zhen, his identity is special and his reputation is unparalleled.
In a way, his role on the Southwestern frontline is even greater than that of an Inspector.
“Your Excellency is right.”
Jiang Que lightly placed a hand on Ye Qinglian’s shoulder.
He said gently, “Indeed, there is a hierarchy among the three frontlines.
The Southwestern frontline merely plays a supporting role…
The real assault on the Paperman Sect relies on the Southern frontline.”
The Southern frontline gathered the majority of the forces descending from the Great Chu Imperial City this time.
As for the frontline departing from Lingqu City, it only aims to take over one Zhanjiao Mountain.
Having three Yin Gods stationed here is already quite justified for the resources occupied in the southwestern region.
“As for youth.”
Jiang Que smiled and said, “During peaceful times, young people need to experience more…
to grow.”
“Peaceful times?”
Daoist Qian Yuan murmured softly.
He seemed pensive.
He didn’t say more but instead turned back into a red line, gliding in the direction he came from.
The three followed suit.
But…
in the next moment, a strong wind roared, and paper scraps fluttered.
“Rip!”
A tall, slender, pure white figure tore through the portal of the void and slowly stepped out, blocking the four in front.
“…?”
Daoist Qian Yuan squinted, staring at the figure ahead.
The sharp wind sound gradually became hoarse.
In the void, a slight killing intent emerged.
“…Venerable Wugou?”
Ye Qinglian’s expression turned extremely grim.
On the other side, Jiang Que took action straight away.
As soon as the paper scraps started swirling up, he had already prepared his treasure—
A small azure tower that grew rapidly in the wind!
The moment Venerable Wugou stepped through the portal of the void, the small azure tower came crashing down!
In just a few breaths.
The tower expanded dozens of times, resembling a small mountain!
“Clang!”
The tower body struck and emitted a crisp explosion.
Venerable Wugou didn’t look up.
As the shadow shrouded in, he punched directly, hitting the azure tower with a simple strike!
Jiang Que’s expression changed abruptly.
He stared incredulously at the shadowed area where the azure tower landed…
In the hoarse wind, the sound of cracking was heard!
Accompanied by the crisp sound of explosions, the azure Spiritual Treasure tower that had crashed heavily began to spread cracks from its base, inching up!
“Using a physical body against a Spiritual Treasure?”
Jiang Que was all too familiar with this kind of attack.
During the Battle of Poison, many demon cultivators fought in this way…
The bodies of these Great Demons were filled with extremely powerful ancient bloodlines, and upon reaching the Yin God Realm, their physical bodies could rival magical treasures.
But could it be that the Evil Cultivators of the Paperman Sect were also Body Refining Practitioners?
“Retreat!”
Daoist Qian Yuan said coldly.
He raised his hands and set an array.
A resonating sound of a great cauldron trembled from the void.
Jiang Que quickly retrieved the azure tower, and in the next moment, the void cracked, and blazing flames poured straight down on Venerable Wugou’s head…
Rumble!
This scene was extremely shocking!
Jiang Que did not expect Daoist Qian Yuan of the Hehuan Sect to have such a fearsome treasure at his disposal!
The temperature of the blazing flames was so high that even the void couldn’t withstand it!
For a while.
The Venerable Wugou, who was physically clashing with the Spiritual Treasure, was “fixed” in place by the fiery waterfall, attempting to move but unable to do so, only able to raise his palms to bear the fiery deluge!
“…
I’ll help you!”
Despite his age, Jiang Que was still full of vigor.
Upon seeing this, he prepared to retrieve a second treasure from his sleeve to continue the fight, aiding Daoist Qian Yuan.
At this moment, Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.
“Retreat first.”
He reached out one hand to grab the collar of Jiang Que.
The other hand grabbed the wrist of Ye Qinglian, who was about to draw her sword.
In an instant.
The two of them were transported nearly a hundred feet away—
“What speed is this?”
Jiang Que looked incredulously at the young man in black beside him.
He had no idea that Xie Zhen had broken through, only realizing at this moment that this young man seemed to match him in terms of cultivation level!
Ye Qinglian was also shocked.
The speed of Xie Zhen’s action was beyond her reaction.
In just a moment, they had moved a hundred feet away, leaving her with no choice at all.
“Quit staring at me, I’m just good at ‘Escape Skills.'”
Xie Xuanyi didn’t bother to give more explanation.
“So we’re just leaving like this?”
Jiang Que asked anxiously.
“This is the Paperman Dao Mountain Gate, and the Venerable Wugou we just encountered is at least at the Fifteenth Realm of Yin God.”
Xie Xuanyi didn’t let go, continuing to hold onto the two while moving towards Zhanjiao Mountain.
Sword Qi enveloped the three of them, swiftly navigating through the miasma.
He spoke, expressionless, “It’s good enough that we have the chance to escape…
If we continue fighting, are we risking our lives?
What if another one appears?”
“But…”
Jiang Que wanted to speak.
Back in the Northern Territory, they fought to the death.
When someone charged forward.
Everyone fought desperately, advancing without retreat!
But as soon as he started to speak, he suddenly realized today’s battle was different.
“Daoist Qian Yuan is an Evil Cultivator of the Hehuan Sect.”
Xie Xuanyi said indifferently, “Avoid unnecessary trouble…
If he dies, it would get rid of a menace.”
“…”
Jiang Que lowered his eyes, saying no more.
That makes sense.
The Great Chu Dynasty’s willingness to cooperate with the Three Great Sects to eliminate demons…
This matter had sparked significant controversy across the Four Realms, with many Holy Land Families opposing it.
Regardless of the Southern Border’s dire situation, Great Chu should not intervene; how low and filthy are the Three Great Sects?
Such a situation of joining forces with demons to defeat demons had never occurred before!
Jiang Que was actually one of the strong opposers.
But unfortunately, his position carried little weight.
Xie Xuanyi’s speed of Sword Qi was faster than both Jiang Que’s and Ye Qinglian’s.
In less than half an hour.
The outline of Zhanjiao Mountain was already visible.
Actually, leaving the Pure White Mountain gate already meant safety; no matter how arrogant Venerable Wugou was, he wouldn’t dare to leave the Paperman Dao Mountain Gate too far!
“It will be peaceful from here on.”
It wasn’t until then that Xie Xuanyi released his grip on Jiang Que and Ye Qinglian.
Jiang Que looked at the young man ahead with complicated emotions.
Ten years ago.
Xie Xuanyi died in the North Sea, and the Jiang Family was powerless.
Ten years later.
Xie Xuanyi’s disciple re-emerged.
This was the first time Jiang Que met Xie Zhen, but in the young man’s eyes, he saw something familiar.
“Wait…
What do you mean by this?”
Ye Qinglian frowned, realizing something was wrong.
It seemed Xie Zhen wasn’t planning to return to Zhanjiao Mountain!
“I have some matters to attend to.”
Xie Xuanyi said, “I’ll return after dealing with them.”
“This is too fake…
not even pretending?”
Ye Qinglian was so angry she laughed, pointed to the Pure White Mountain, and asked softly, “You’re not planning to go back to save Daoist Qian Yuan, are you?
Relying on your Escape Skills, are you rushing to your death?”
“I’m not that kind-hearted.”
Xie Xuanyi paused, “Do I look like the kind who’d fight for an Evil Cultivator?”
“…”
Ye Qinglian had nothing to say.
The person in front of her was Xie Xuanyi’s disciple; probably no one in the world hated Evil Cultivators more than him.
The four began to retreat.
