Chapter 93 – People from Immortal City Came Once Again
On the human side, the super team, formed by the four families, had already defeated a considerable number of enemies; while on the demonic and barbarian side, they had raised great vigilance against this super human team, especially the two elite teams led by Yao Kaka and Man'gan respectively. The former was the son of the Saint Majesty of the Demonic Prefecture, and the latter was the son of the Barbarian Immortal.
In the following days, the barbarians and demons all sent out troops to confront the human super team. In response, the scouts of the Hua Family, had enlarged their patrolling area as per Shisan’s request. Since Shisan had discovered Yao Kaka’s team, which desperately tried to follow them, he deliberately asked the scouts to double their efforts. Every time, when the enemies sneaked into their vicinity to cut off their route, the super team would be aware, and would retreat in advance, leaving the demons and barbarians howling in fury.
The fact was, that they didn’t retreat out of fear, Feng Zi even suggested fighting with them face-to-face. But the Prince-Realm cultivators, especially Shisan, reckoned it to not be the perfect timing to fight with them. For one thing, credits were the top priority of this journey, they wouldn’t sacrifice themselves before they had obtained enough of them; for the other, since the enemies didn’t launch a battle, or kill any of their fellowmen, they wouldn’t put their young lords and ladies in great dangers by involving them in such a grand fight. After all, if the young lords were wounded or killed, they would never fulfill their liability, even by dying a thousands times over…
Therefore, these days, they wandered along the area with unprecedented caution. Under the strategy of “security first”, the super team only fought those enemies they considered to be easy to deal with, in order to collect credits. Usually, they would retreat soon after the slaughter, in case they encountered even mightier enemy groups. The reality was, the chance of obtaining more credits turned apparently slim, but they felt much safer by fighting in this way!
……
In the temporary camp that belonged to the Mars Prefecture.
This place was quite silent these days, because most of the members had gone to the frontline to fight. Only a few people were left here, including the patrollers, and the wounded members, who were carried back from the frontline. Of course, there was a whole team, which was led by young lord Wuhen, that hadn’t stepped out since the first day.
Being a lurker, Wuhen had kept his team far away from the fierce battlefield. Instead, they were busy cultivating, or just playing around. As long as his members kept themselves in the confinements of the temporary camp, he would let them do whatever they liked. In these days, he had broken through a bottleneck in cultivation, that had annoyed him for many years, and he had finally entered the first level of Realm of the Marshal. Honestly, at his age, this achievement wasn’t something to be proud of. Yet, his success depended more on his Worm Bewitchment than on his reserve of Battle Qi. His twelve Golden Beatles, represented greater power than a normal great elder in his family. Because of this, it was no wonder that he was appointed as the future leader of the Xue Family!
Since his reputation had been seriously tarnished, when he had rejected to go together with the other four families, Wuhen had seemingly determined to continue his life as a traitor. He was well aware, that the others disliked him – Feng Zi and Hua Cao had turned hostile towards him; Qinghan wished to take his life; and even Qingcheng had developed hatred toward him because of Qinghan… Surprisingly, Wuhen didn’t give much heed to other people’s reaction, he only cared about his own cultivation, and the promise Tu Qianjun had made back at the Summer Fire Festival.
Encouraged by Tu Qianjun’s promise, that he would be invited to Immortal City, if he survived in the Prefecture War, Wuhen was aspired to climb out of the “dead well”, the nickname he had given the Flame Dragon Continent. Based on these premises, he would rather stay in the camp, safe and sound, than place himself in any risky situations.
Unexpectedly, a special guest visited the temporary camp today, which made Wuhen excited in some ways.
Today, above the temporary camp, a giant monster appeared out of the blue. Looking upward from the ground, the monster was very much like a large dark cloud that shadowed over the whole camp. On the back of the monster, a young man jumped off, as he received the awes and envy from the people on the ground.
The monster was actually a pterosaur, representing a saddle-beast from Immortal City! The young man gradually descended onto the ground, with golden rays enveloping his body.
Although rules had been stipulated that no one was allowed to join halfway in the Prefecture War, as a member of Immortal City, the young man wasn’t restricted from casually joining in. Actually, he wasn’t interested in joining the war, for he went directly into the bamboo house where Wuhen stayed, and came out a short while later. At last, he disappeared into the horizon, together with his pterosaur…
Soon after the departure with the mysterious young man, Wuhen immediately instructed his team, “Prepare yourself, we’ll enter the Visionary Forest and join in the war tomorrow!”
