Chapter 262 The Clan Chief Will Take Action Personally!
What should we call this flame?
The unifying principle of the cultivation world remains the same: deceive if you can. Those who recognize this flame are not only extremely rare, but also highly knowledgeable. For ordinary enemies, it's better to just make up a name to fool them.
“I think we could call it Penetrating Flames.” The second captain raised his hand, but it was pressed down.
"I already told you not to describe its features, just give me a name that doesn't have any specific descriptions."
The second team leader also lost his temper, "You tell me, give me an example."
Without even thinking, Zhong Ming blurted out, "Strange evil fire."
After thinking about it, the group agreed that it was indeed possible, since no information had been given.
"Let's call it the Weird Evil Flame then, everyone agree on the name." The group quickly reached a consensus; after all, it was just a name.
Everyone dispersed, and now, with the support of a saturation of low-level cultivators, the city has entered a state of frantic expansion.
Under the coordination of the army's high command, countless cultivators worked together to quickly rebuild the destroyed city walls and houses.
Yushu City has not been repaired for a very long time because Pingzhou has maintained friendly "trade" with us for a long time, and Yunzhou's main focus has been on the southern battlefield.
Taking this opportunity, the Chen family's decision-makers immediately issued orders.
Expand it as much as you can!
If Yushu City was previously just a border pass, serving to scout out movements in the direction of Pingzhou and delay the enemy's advance, then now, the Chen Dynasty is rapidly transforming it into a major base for offensive operations.
The forces in the Pingzhou direction...
Don't ask, it's just for defense against the merfolk. Once or twice, it might not be the third time.
This construction is not aimed at you people in Pingtung; we are friendly, long-term business partners.
To ensure our trade routes are not disturbed by the Merfolk, we are determined to protect the waterway transportation routes.
.....
On the other hand, the Merfolk chieftain, who had already arrived at the front lines, was completely unaware that the number of high-level cultivators on the other side had increased.
"Chieftain," the merfolk's language was obscure and difficult to understand. Having spent most of their time underwater, high-level cultivators preferred to communicate through telepathy. "The Chen family hasn't sent any high-level cultivators. Considering it's been a long time since we launched our attack, they probably think we're too low a threat to warrant their attention."
The newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His mission was to attack Yunzhou to relieve the pressure on the southern barbarians and demons, and to judge the strength of the enemy's prepared forces by the arrival time of enemy reinforcements.
Judging from this mission, it seems that the forces in Pingzhou have an unclear relationship with the barbarians in the south, probably similar to their relationship with the merfolk.
As long as the Chen dynasty exists, they will be allies.
He looked up at the gloomy sky, sighed, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll take action myself. It's time to let our lads know that we are also a race with Nascent Soul level combat power."
Upon hearing that their chieftain was about to take action, the merfolk nearby instantly became excited, their morale soaring.
The news spread like wildfire from the central command tent, and then spread like a plague throughout the merfolk's territory.
Half of the true elite of the Merfolk clan remained in the rear and did not invade Yunzhou. At this moment, they spontaneously armed themselves. Originally, only the direct descendants of the clan could serve as the Imperial Guard to protect the clan leader, but now a large number of people, both dark and white, surrounded them outside.
The clan leader, now looking dashing, had his rare Golden Core Realm equipment look like scrap metal. He casually removed all his weapons and equipment, throwing the exquisite armor and spears that the entire clan had crafted to the Grand Elder. "Naked," he revealed his thick, gleaming silver scales and strode out of the tent.
He was greeted by thunderous cheers.
He was full of vigor and high spirits, and facing countless people of his clan, he uttered those words.
“Let’s go and bring our people back.”
Before the war, the Merfolk knew very clearly that they could not defeat the Chen Dynasty. They were just making a deal, using their people's bloody battles to prove their worth in exchange for a chance for their clan leader to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Today, when the elite merfolk who had ventured deep into the heart of Yunzhou to plunder learned that their chieftain had advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, it was as if they had received an order to retreat.
How did they obtain it? Of course, it was spread by people from Yunzhou.
Yunzhou could be indifferent to the power of Golden Core cultivators, but enemies with Nascent Soul realm abilities had to be taken seriously.
.....
It was the fifty-first day since Zhong Ming received the mission after drawing lots, and there were still nine days left before their scheduled departure from Jade City.
The merfolk launched a massive attack.
The Merfolk do have specialized beast tamers, but since they spend most of their time in the sea, their beast taming is mainly of sea creatures. Zhong Ming stayed on the city wall and didn't go down to the river, so he didn't encounter any.
But this time, he had no choice.
This time, it wasn't giant waves that came, but a raging flood flowing against the current.
This is not an offensive that will end after a single wave crashes down; it's an attack aimed at flooding the entire city of Yushu.
At the confluence of the Qunyu River and the two mountain ranges, not far from the dock, the subsequent river was forcibly cut off, and the rushing water was gathered into a wall of water. This wall of water gathered water from the mouth of the river all the way back through the entire Pingzhou, gathering countless rivers, towering like a mountain.
Of course, Zhong Ming, standing on the city wall, could chat and laugh with Yue Kaishan and the others, and make a few sarcastic remarks, saying, "It's far less impressive than the Twin Dragons Walking on Water."
What is the volume of the Qunyu River? What is the volume of the Yelan River?
A small fry compared to a big fish.
Zhong Ming looked relaxed. The Spring Cold and the Mother-Child Sword were polished to a shine. His dantian was full of spiritual energy, and his chest injury had basically healed. He stood steadily on the city wall, with two comrades who had reached the late stage of Qi Refining beside him.
In any case, it's much better than the previous battle situation.
The high-level cultivators in the city had solemn expressions. The city's protective formation had been activated, and countless temporary formations, restrictions, and seals had all been put into operation. Led by powerful formation cultivators, all the spiritual patterns, large and small, were being drawn together.
"Order everyone to evacuate from the city walls and move to the inner city walls. Prepare for underground operations. If the tunnels have not been destroyed, the street fighting teams will immediately rush into the tunnels."
The old Golden Core cultivator calmly issued the order, and a large number of spirit stones brought out from the military treasury were ready to be put into the great formation.
"The outer array is activated, while the inner arrays are in a preheating state and ready to go."
