Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 367 - 357: Not Really? Senior, Are You Serious?!
"I don’t know."
"Just follow the orders."
Han Xiaopao responded via voice transmission.
Don’t be fooled by Han Xiaopao’s laid-back demeanor; he is also the marshal of the 49th Main Force Legion.
There’s no choice, his strength has reached such a level that even if he wanted to step down, he couldn’t.
Some years ago, Han Xiaopao originally wanted to retire, step back, and handle some logistical matters for his master.
But unexpectedly, he couldn’t find a successor to take over his position as the marshal of the 49th Legion!
Back then, when Han Xiaopao was running for the position of marshal of the 49th Legion, he single-handedly defeated ten other candidates. He wasn’t precise with his moves, showing no restraint at all, and directly beat those ten competitors so severely that they were bedridden for half a year.
After that battle, Han Xiaopao’s reputation was firmly established, and his position as the marshal of the 49th Main Force Legion was unshakeable!
Later, it reached a point where when Han Xiaopao wanted to step down, no one dared to take his place.
There was even an instance when he publicly expressed his desire to retire and let someone else take over, but nobody dared to speak up, not one person stood up to shout: "I’ll do it!"
Not a single one!
Because in their perspective, they translated Han Xiaopao’s words to: "I dare you to look like someone is eyeing my position today!"
Actually... Han Xiaopao was serious; he genuinely wanted to retire and let someone else take over! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
But no one believed him. Who would willingly give up such a high position, second to none, overseeing a main force legion? That’s the pinnacle!
He even privately consulted his master about his intentions to retire and was met with a "You little brat" and a slap.
Left with no choice, he had to continue in his role.
.....
Within the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, there are a total of fifty main force legions.
Under each main force legion are dozens or even hundreds of subsidiary legions, and under them, countless large, medium, and small-sized legions.
Because there are simply too many cultivators within the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, the legion system is too vast, spreading across various worlds.
.....
To have reached the position of marshal of a main force legion is considered reaching the core of the alliance’s power.
Xiao Huo managed, in just forty thousand years, to rise from a small Domain Master of a Lower-Rank Immortal Realm to this position.
Luck and opportunity accounted for four parts, while talent and strength accounted for six parts.
It’s primarily due to Xiao Huo’s formidable potential. Otherwise, even as the personal disciple of the Alliance Leader, it’d be useless if he couldn’t learn anything or show significant improvement.
...
Bong——
The sound of a Celestial Chime resonated, echoing throughout the Longevity Immortal Realm.
The next second, a majestic man appeared in the void.
At this moment, the marshals and generals of the main force legions all looked up to the figure in the void with respect and reverence.
Because this dignified man was none other than the Grand Alliance Leader of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance!
In other words, the second person in command, next only to the master, with major decisions of the alliance largely being finalized by the Grand Alliance Leader.
For today’s battle, the fact that the Grand Alliance Leader personally led the army indicates the importance of this battle.
Soon, the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Alliance Leaders appeared successively, pushing the atmosphere to its peak!
On the ground, the generals within the crowd were visibly excited.
"Target... Celestial Peace Divine Realm."
"Advance!"
Wu Zhong didn’t say much; instead, he charged at the forefront, leading the army to press against the formidable Celestial Peace Divine Realm!
The next second, morale reached its pinnacle.
Above the Longevity Immortal Realm, magnificent arks rose from the ground, with enormous holy beasts and flying creatures pulling the army forward. Chariots, arks, flying creatures, holy beasts, shuttles, and steeds—all radiant with immortal lights, rose from the land of the Longevity Immortal Realm towards the void, grand and magnificent, filled with holy light and majesty!
At this moment, the leaders personally leading fifty main force legions, the full might of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, were in motion.
The soldiers and generals under the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, with their strength, competing against the Celestial Peace Divine Realm was akin to hitting a stone with an egg, yet not a hint of fear could be seen in their eyes—in fact, there was a trace of excitement!
This is the greatest trait of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance—fearlessness!
This is also one of the main reasons why the Heaven Shepherd Alliance has developed so rapidly.
...
At this moment, beyond the border of the Celestial Peace Divine Realm, stood two figures.
Although the Celestial Peace Divine Realm is the closest Lower Divine Domain to the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, the distances between such high-level worlds are measured in trillions.
Thus, even an Immortal King, traveling at full speed, would require a full day.
Yet Li Qiye and Li Changyuan, took only three breaths to arrive beyond the border of the Celestial Peace Divine Realm from the Longevity Immortal Realm!
Three breaths, which was Li Changyuan’s limit, not Li Qiye’s.
Because Li Qiye thought Li Changyuan was too slow, he dragged him along the way, so they were delayed by two breaths. Otherwise, with Li Qiye’s speed, only one breath was needed!
They had been standing there motionless for nearly a month now.
Finally, Li Changyuan couldn’t hold back anymore and asked, "Elder Li, who are we waiting for?"
"Waiting for your alliance’s army."
Li Qiye folded his arms, speaking lazily.
If Alliance Leader Wu is a smart man and believes him, he would undoubtedly lead the army to come, deal with the aftermath, and take over the Celestial Peace Divine Realm.
Even if Alliance Leader Wu is not a smart man, isn’t there still a smart person in the Heaven Shepherd Alliance?
That Li Dong’Er, surely she is smart.
So, the alliance’s army should be on its way.
By the calculation, they should arrive in a few days, right?
"Forget it, let’s not wait."
With that, Li Qiye looked toward the Celestial Peace Divine Realm in front of him.
"Not waiting?"
At this moment, Li Changyuan had just received information from his eldest brother, stating that they could arrive in at most two days.
"Eldest brother has sent a message, saying our alliance’s army will arrive in two days."
"No need, let’s first solve the main trouble."
With that, Li Qiye began to walk step by step towards the Immortal Realm Barrier at the border of the Celestial Peace Divine Realm.
"Huh?"
Having heard these words, Li Changyuan was stunned.
This meant, without waiting for the alliance’s army, the two of them... the two of them would single-handedly attack the entire Celestial Peace Divine Realm?!
Even someone as proud and fearless as the third brother wouldn’t dare to solo a Middle-Rank Immortal Realm, at least he would have to bring a team.
This is the Divine Realm!
Are they really going to take it on with just the two of them???
At this moment, even the fearless Li Changyuan felt a bit cowardly.
However, he still braved the situation and followed along.
What’s there to be afraid of!
When the two neared the border, it triggered the protective grand array of the Celestial Peace Divine Realm.
The next second.
A man dressed in golden armor blocked their path, holding a silver spear, the tip pointed at them:
"Ahead is the Celestial Peace Divine Realm, halt!"
"If you dare take another step, you will be killed!"
The voice of the golden-armored man was deep and powerful, with a kind of lethality that made the surrounding void tremble.
