Chapter 117 – Ye Qinghan Keeps Running!
Silently, the formidable legion walked along the bumpy road. However, the geography on Ghost Island restricted them from marching in a linear form; instead, they had to be arrayed in different formations, in order to cater to the specific landscape.
Among them, the busiest one was Hua Cao. As a young lord of the Hua Family, he was responsible for collecting all the reports from the scouts. In an interval of a couple of minutes, a scout would appear in front of him, informing him of the situation up ahead. Moreover, he was also in charge of marking the teleportation posts, investigating the geography, and arranging a suitable route. The most outstanding scouts of his family had already been appointed by him to check on the escape route of the enemies.
While at the same time, the two Prince-Realm cultivators of the Hua Family threw everything at their young lord, in the name of training his ability of becoming a commander. The two of them leisurely walked beside the girls of the Yue Family, chatting with them as if they didn’t know there was a war up ahead. Seeing this, Hua Cao was so outraged, that he could vomit blood.
As for the commander-in-chief, Sainan, she was also quite occupied. It was her first time to arrange such a big event. She managed to appear as composed as she could be; yet, in fact, this task had kept her nerves on edge ever since they had left the camp. It was true that she was the only daughter of Long Pifu, the first-ranked candidate on the Mortal Ranking List. The reputation of her superior-than-men personality had already spread across the Mars Prefecture. Despite her confidence in herself, the elders of her family had long held prejudice against her. As early as a couple of years ago, her father, Long Pifu, had actually appointed her as the young leader of the Long Family; yet, the elders had unanimously vetoed her father’s proposal. This bunch of stereotype-stricken elders were loyal admirers of patriarchy, thus they wouldn’t allow a woman to break this tradition.
Sainan’s purpose of attending this Prefecture War, therefore, was crystal clear: she was eager to prove herself, and persuade the elders to let her be the next young leader. Based on her identity as the daughter of Long Pifu, as well as her own personal crimson, she had successfully taken command over all the elites from the Mars Prefecture! She held rosy prospects for a triumphant battle, and she wouldn’t miss this golden opportunity to annihilate the demons and barbarians, and polish her own reputation.
However… as a commander-in-chief, she was held accountable for the lives of thousands of people. The heavier the duty, the more concerned she became. Yet, she had no time to lament on all these issues, as she was busy receiving, digesting, analyzing the reports, and giving orders, one after another…
As for Qingcheng, unlike Sainan, she had nothing special to do. The members of the Yue Family had taken care of everything for her.
As Qingcheng followed the legion, she couldn’t get rid of an image in her mind: a young man with faint smiles on his face. Her pearlescent eyes kept staring at the distance, hoping that Qinghan would suddenly fall into her view.
……
On the other hand, Qinghan took as long as half an hour to collect the rings Little Black had reaped. In total, putting all the rings together, Little Black had contributed more than one thousand credits for his master! But, right now… Qinghan was busy refining a huge amount of energy, that was gushing out from within his body. He couldn’t comprehend where all this energy was coming from.
Early in the afternoon, he had sensed something abnormal in his physical body, and found a small distortion in his chest, from which countless pure energy poured out of. Within seconds, all the energy had rushed into the nearby meridians, blending together with his Battle Qi.
At the beginning, the energy was coming out in slices, which was almost unnoticeable to Qinghan. Gradually, however, the energy had turned thick, and dense, gushing out from the chest in large amounts. Not knowing if this energy was detrimental for him or not, Qinghan came to a halt, for a closer inspection of this energy.
When he bent his head to look at his chest, he received Little Black’s conveyed voice, telling him that this energy was actually originating from the Dragon Crystal, all he had to do was to circulate his Battle Qi as fast as he possibly could.
