Chapter 746: Chapter 746
The Wang Family of Myriad Wood is the most powerful force of the Human Clan on Green Lotus Continent, and the Five Thunder Divine Monarch is from the Wang Family.
Under normal circumstances, the Wang Family would not issue a Conscription Order; it would be issued only in the event of a clan war.
The Void Refining Cultivators present had varied expressions: some frowned deeply, some looked excited, while others wore faces full of worry.
The outbreak of a clan war meant that quite a number of high-ranking cultivators would perish, which also represented one way to obtain precious cultivation resources, especially for Loose Cultivators and smaller forces.
"That’s right, the frontline has already engaged, and we belong to the second batch of troops. According to the Wang Family’s orders, our Qianling Sect must dispatch one Unity Cultivator, fifty Void Refining Cultivators, and over a thousand Soul Transformation Cultivators to join the battle. We must hurry to the Divine Weapon Marketplace to assemble at the fastest speed and follow the people from Divine Weapon Sect to the frontline."
"What? Calling up fifty Void Refining Cultivators to the battle? That many?"
Wu Yingyue exclaimed in surprise.
As per convention, a clan war can last a long time, and if there are heavy losses at the frontline, reinforcements would be summoned from the rear.
"The Divine Weapon Sect, Shennong Pavilion, and other major forces are deploying hundreds of Void Refining Cultivators. I expect that forces like the Yinluo Sect will also be sending many Void Refining Cultivators,"
Mo Bingbing speculated.
Whenever there is a clan war, the Wang Family will issue a Conscription Order to forces with Unity Cultivators in command, summoning a certain number of cultivators to join the war according to the strength of their forces.
When the Wang Family calls up experts from Qianling Sect to join the battle, Qianling Sect will, in turn, summon Void Refining Cultivators and Soul Transformation Cultivators from its subordinate forces to participate in the war.
Cultivators participating in the clan war can earn Kind Attribute by slaying enemies, which can be used to exchange for cultivation resources.
"Senior Sister Mo, who will lead our Qianling Sect?"
A tall and thin young man in a green robe asked.
Qin Yan, at the Hollow Phasing Late Stage.
"Master Aunt Liu will lead personally; Junior Brother He, Junior Sister Wu, Senior Brother Qin, Junior Brother Shen, all of you must take part in the battle. These are Master Aunt Liu’s orders. Our sect will summon twenty Void Refining Cultivators and two hundred Soul Transformation Cultivators; the remaining quotas will be filled from our affiliated forces."
The four people named by He Zixiao responded in unison, and with Liu Xin calling their names, they had no choice but to accept.
Mo Bingbing publicly called upon twenty Void Refining Cultivators to join the fight, instructing them to prepare to return and gather at the Qianling Platform in seven days. They must arrive at the Divine Weapon Marketplace as swiftly as possible.
If there was any delay, the Wang Family would punish them severely.
Upon returning to Golden Roc Peak, Shen Long and Chu Buyu sat down in a green stone pavilion, with Chu Buyu also heading to the frontline.
"It seems that Taoist Friend Li’s dual cultivation ceremony will have to be missed. It’s unclear why a clan war has erupted."
Shen Long furrowed his brow and said.
The Human Clan on Green Lotus Continent has had no shortage of clan wars with other races; if this is just a routine war, it won’t last too long. The fear is that it could be a war of annihilation.
Over time, not only the seven great clans, but many large clans have vanished into the long river of history.
"I reckon only the upper echelons of the Wang Family know the reason. We have limited access to information, and the truth is not easily known to us."
The strategic intentions of high command aren’t easily disclosed. Knowing the enemy’s strategy can better prepare and minimize one’s own losses.
"Let’s get ready then!"
Shen Long said in a solemn voice.
Yinluo Mountain Range, a serene manor.
Zhang Mi was reporting to Chu Feng with a grave expression.
"They want us to call up sixty Void Refining Cultivators and one Unity Cultivator? That many?"
Chu Feng frowned and said.
"The situation at the frontline is fierce, which is why they have summoned so many Void Refining Cultivators."
Zhang Mi’s face showed concern.
"I will lead the team this time! Extract thirty Void Refining Cultivators from our sect and another thirty from our subordinate forces. I hope this clan war will not last too long."
Zhang Mi responded, accepting the order and leaving.
Divine Weapon Marketplace, the streets teemed with crowds and bustled with activity.
In an expansive manor, a voluptuous woman in a golden dress and a portly old man in a green robe were sitting inside a red stone pavilion; Fairy Qianhuo was reporting to them.
"Madam Wu, Master Uncle Chen, the people from Blood Flame Sect, Li Family, Nine Flames Sect, and Qi Family have all arrived. We’re only waiting on Yinluo Sect and Qianling Sect."
"See that they’re well accommodated. Once the Yinluo Sect and Qianling Sect arrive, follow me to the frontline,"
the woman in the golden dress ordered.
Wu Xuan, mid Unity stage.
Fairy Qianhuo agreed and took out a red light flashing Law Disk, input a spell, and exclaimed with surprise, "They’ve arrived, led by Senior Liu Xin from the Qianling Sect and Senior Chu Feng from the Yinluo Sect. Junior Brother Xu has invited them over."
"It’s actually Madam Liu leading the team, I thought Taoist Friend Wu would personally lead the team, it’s been many years since I last saw him."
The man in the green robe spoke.
Chen Shen, initial Integration stage.
"After all, Taoist Friend Wu is the head of the Qianling Sect. It’s quite normal for him not to lead the team," Wu Xuan said.
Before long, Liu Xin and Chu Feng walked in, followed by a young man in a green shirt.
"This humble one is Liu Xin, I have met both of you Taoist Friends," said Liu Xin, greeting them with a bow.
"Madam Wu, Taoist Friend Chen, how has the battle on the frontlines been?" Chu Feng inquired about the state of the frontline.
"The losses at the front have been considerable, but the Bloodvine Clan hasn’t gotten any significant advantage," said Wu Xuan truthfully and gestured for them to sit.
"What about the foreign races on the coast? Have they not made any moves?" Liu Xin asked.
"Of course, there has been activity. Several minor clans, like the Haixi Clan, have been harassing the coastlines, clearly instructed by the Bloodvine Clan. The Four Seas Sect is stationed at the Qinglian Archipelago, so there should be no major issues. Currently, only the Bloodvine Clan and our Human Clan are engaged in combat; the scale of the war is not very large," Chen Shen explained.
It was just the Human Clan and the Bloodvine Clan at war, and the Human Clan had not deployed their full strength but had only conscripted a portion of the forces to the battle.
"Madam Wu, Taoist Friend Chen, what caused this great racial conflict to start?" Liu Xin asked.
"Several subordinate clans of the Bloodvine Clan took the initiative to attack Tianxuan City. They initiated the battle, and we are not clear about their strategic intentions," Wu Xuan said.
"Since everyone’s here, let’s head to the frontlines! Taoist Friend Wang is urging urgently, sending reminders every now and then," Chen Shen suggested.
Liu Xin and Chu Feng had no objections; they could better understand the battle conditions once on the frontline.
"I’ll lead the Divine Weapon Sect. Master Nephew Lin, inform the others to assemble at the Hundred Arms Hall, and we’ll teleport over," Wu Xuan ordered.
"Yes, Master Aunt Wu," responded Fairy Qianhuo, accepting the command and setting off.
A vast red stone plaza housed a majestic hall with the plaque "Hundred Arms Hall" written in golden characters.
Many cultivators gathered from all around, with Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and others among them.
They had just arrived at the marketplace and were already hurrying to the frontlines.
"Taoist Friend Shen, Madam Shen, you’re also participating in the war?" Li Yunpeng approached with surprise.
"The situation on the frontline is urgent; we wanted to contribute our efforts as well," Shen Long nodded and looked at a slender woman in a yellow dress next to Li Yunpeng, saying, "This must be Fairy Lin. I am Shen Long, and this is my wife, Chu Buyu."
"I am Lin Wan, pleased to meet Taoist Friend Shen and Fairy Chu," the woman in the yellow dress said with a greeted bow. She was Li Yunpeng’s Dao companion.
They had planned to hold a dual cultivation ceremony in three years, but due to the impacts of the great racial war, they canceled the ceremony and rushed to the frontline.
After some casual conversation, a loud bell rang out.
Wu Xuan, Chu Feng, Liu Xin, and seven other Unity cultivators descended from the sky, landing at the entrance of the Hundred Arms Hall.
"The situation at the front is urgent; no need for further talk. We’ll teleport in batches. Once you arrive at Tianxuan City, someone will handle your accommodations," Wu Xuan stated.
Under the direction of Fairy Qianhuo, the cultivators entered the Hundred Arms Hall in groups and teleported away.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, He Zixiao, and over a hundred other cultivators walked into the Hundred Arms Hall.
The hall was spacious and well-lit, containing a transference array hundreds of feet across.
They stepped onto the transference array, a guard input a spell into the array, and a dazzling spiritual light flared up, engulfing their figures.
After a moment of intense dizziness, Shen Long found that they had appeared in an even more spacious great hall.
They stood on a transference array hundreds of feet across, and a tall, thin young man in a golden robe stood beside the array.
