Chapter 38: “This Sect Is Too Cowardly”
“Please come in, Immortal Masters!” Outside the camp, an armored general welcomed Chen Mu and Li Lingqi inside.
“When will the supply team set off?”
“Tomorrow morning, Immortal Masters, you can rest in the camp for the night.” The general said respectfully.
Although he commanded thousands of troops, cultivators were still high and mighty in his eyes.
“Yes, prepare two sets of ordinary soldier’s clothes for us. Tomorrow, we will dress up as ordinary soldiers and leave with you.” Li Lingqi said.
“Alright, I’ll get someone to prepare it.” The general replied respectfully. However, he had some complaints in his heart.
According to what he knew, some sects in the other prefectures had already secretly used their storage rings to help transport rations…
Although they did not dare to transport too much, it was more or less a token of goodwill.
Ordinary soldiers or commoners could only transport half a stone of ration to the front line.
Cultivators were not only fast, but they could also transport as much as they wanted, which greatly reduced the pressure on the army.
But these two Immortal Masters…
Not to mention transporting ration, they were very careful when killing monsters. They even had to sneak into the main group.
Sigh…
But he could not say anything.
It was a favor for them to help.
It was not their duty.
After all, the affairs of the mortal world were strictly unrelated to the cultivation world. Even if the emperor was changed, it would not affect the Azure Yang Sect much.
…
The night passed.
The supply convoy set off.
Taking advantage of the two Immortal Masters’ protection, the general directly sent all the provisions to the transport wagon. The entire transport wagon extended for nearly twenty miles!
If something bad were to happen, he would likely be executed.
Chen Mu and Li Lingqi were in the middle of the supply team.
The two of them had outstanding auras. Even though they were wearing the clothes of ordinary soldiers, one could tell from the crowd.
However, this did not matter. After all, they were going to deal with a monster.
…
The transport team was huge and did not move fast.
Half a day later, the team entered the mountain.
If they wanted to transport goods out of the Flying Bull Continent, they had to cross this mountain range.
Meanwhile, this mountain range’s path was extremely difficult to traverse. It could be said to have eighteen bends, the Flying Cloud Cliff being one of them.
After entering the mountain, Chen Mu could sense that the atmosphere had become much more solemn and oppressive.
…
At the same time, in a deep mountain forest near the Falling Rainbow Cliff, a figure wrapped in black robes was hiding above a towering tree.
A hundred meters below him was a rugged mountain road.
If he continued forward for another fifteen miles, they would reach Flying Cloud Cliff.
A breeze blew, rustling the leaves.
The black robe of the black-robed man was lifted slightly, revealing an old face.
His name was Shen Yuan, a cultivator from the Beast Control Sect of the Country of Zhao.
It was all because of him that the Flying Bull Continent’s ration transport team was attacked.
The Immortal Alliance stipulated that the cultivation world was not allowed to participate in wars between mortals. However, things had already developed to an uncontrollable stage.
As far as he knew, the earth vein dragon qi was related to the great secret of the cultivation world. The cultivation world of Zhao had almost reached a consensus. No matter what, no matter the cost, they had to completely control that area.
In other words, this war would most likely turn into a war between the cultivation world’s forces.
As for the Immortal Alliance… The two Alliance Leaders were trapped in the secret realm and had yet to come out. The elder in charge was not able to do anything alone.
The entire Immortal Alliance was fighting for power and profit, and they were already busy with their own affairs.
How could they care so much?
In fact, the reason why the Country of Zhao knew about this was because of an Elder who held a position in the Immortal Alliance.
This was also the person who secretly colluded with the various sects of the Country of Zhao.
On the other hand, the cultivation world of the Country of Yan was still unaware of this matter.
Of course, the Country of Zhao was still in a state of secret planning. Some sects had yet to join the alliance, and were still in the process of being convincing. Not many people knew about this.
He only knew some inside information after accepting the relevant missions.
…
The thought of this mission to destroy the rations made Shen Yuan feel ridiculous.
“This Azure Yang Sect is too cowardly and afraid of trouble! They are too foolish!”
In fact, all the prefectures within the Country of Yan would gather rations and fodder to be shipped to the front line.
Among them, there were many countries that would secretly allow cultivators to use their storage rings to transport some rations.
Although the cultivation world and the mortal world were very distinctly separated, many cultivators came from the mortal world, so how could they be completely indifferent?
Some cultivators’ relatives were in the army. If their father asked for help, would they refuse?
Therefore, it was meaningless to interfere with the transportation of food in other countries.
The transport trucks were probably empty, just for show.
Only the Azure Yang Sect of the Flying Bull Prefecture… abided by the rules and did not interfere with the affairs of mortals.
Previously, he had controlled the black tiger to destroy real rations.
Right now, Country Yan did not lack provisions, and it would not affect them because they lost the batch of rations.
However, this battle would last for a long time. In the future, the meaning of these rations would be obvious.
…
Time ticked by.
Faint figures began to appear in the distant mountain fog. The creaking sound of the transport truck could be heard.
Shen Yuan held his breath as his eyes narrowed.
In order to prevent himself from being exposed, he had used the controlled spiritual beasts to destroy the rations the previous few times. Logically speaking, the Flying Bull Continent should have requested help from the Azure Yang Sect after these few times.
Did the Azure Yang Sect send any cultivators to participate in this matter?
When he accepted the mission, he had already made up his mind that as long as the cultivators from the Azure Yang Sect participated in this matter, he would immediately flee after killing them and end the mission.
One could not be too greedy when doing things, or they would get into trouble.
He knew this very well.
The distant supply convoy was getting closer and closer. Looking at the long line, Shen Yuan was secretly delighted.
With so much rations, if he destroyed them all in one go, his mission this time would be considered complete.
If he wanted to, he could even store some in a storage ring and bring away rations.
The Flying Bull Prefecture dared to transport so much rations at once?
There must be a cultivator escorting them, right?
Shen Yuan’s gaze was like a torch as he searched the crowd.
He was not flustered at all.
The black tiger was only at the third or fourth-stage of Qi Refinement. It had long been exposed to many people.
What kind of cultivators would the Azure Yang Sect send out to deal with spirit monsters at the third or fourth-stage of Qi Refinement?
At most, they would be at the fifth or sixth-stage of Qi Refinement!
As for him, his cultivation had already reached the perfected stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Killing Qi Refinement Cultivators was akin to slaughtering dogs.
However…
Once he made a move, he would have to kill all the people below.
Although he was dressed as a member of the evil faction, he still had to be cautious.
It would be best if this matter became an unsolved case!
Shen Yuan planned as he searched the crowd.
However, he could not find any cultivators who dressed differently.
“Why is this Azure Yang Sect so cowardly?”
“They even changed into ordinary soldiers’ clothes just to kill a spirit monster? Why? Are they afraid that the spirit monster would recognize them?”
Shen Yuan was speechless, he started to search the crowd again.
Very soon, he discovered Chen Mu and Li Lingqi, who had completely different auras from the ordinary soldiers around them.
“It must be these two. They even sent two people. This really matches the style of the Azure Yang Sect… Let me see what cultivation level they have.”
Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at Li Lingqi.
With a glimpse, he was left speechless.
This female cultivator who was wearing ordinary soldier attire had reached mid-stage Foundation Establishment!
“Is the Azure Yang Sect… crazy?”
“To think that they would send a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator to deal with a spirit monster at the third or fourth-stage Qi Refinement Realm!”
“I’ve never seen a more careful sect before!”
“They are simply too cowardly!”
Fortunately, he was able to deal with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Next, Shen Yuan looked at Chen Mu.
Hmm, it was hard to tell his cultivation level.
But it was fine. His hearing was very sharp, and he could already faintly hear Chen Mu calling that female cultivation senior sister.
More importantly, this kid looked like he was only 18 or 19 years old. It was obvious that he came out to train.
“To be able to kill a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator and gain a lot of additional rewards, this trip is worth it.
“The Azure Yang Sect is extremely careful, but they would never have expected… that things would be different from what they imagined!”
Shen Yuan calculated in his heart and began to concentrate, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
The supply convoy approached bit by bit, and the distance between him and the two cultivators was also getting closer!
Just as he was about to attack, the female cultivator suddenly frowned and turned to look in his direction!
In an instant!
The two of them looked at each other from nearly a hundred meters away!
“Such keen intuition! I’m afraid she’s an extremely outstanding core disciple! This trip is worth it!”
Shen Yuan did not hesitate any longer. The red blood mist around his body instantly filled the air. At the same time, his figure flashed and rose into the air. Like an arrow released from a bow, he flew towards Li Lingqi, who was currently in the supply team!
