Chapter 516: Chapter 401: You are buried beneath the spring, your bones dissolved in the mud; I drift in the mortal world, my hair covered in snow (seeking monthly ticket)_2

This is also the reason why he stayed at Chuanzhong Pass!

Yangshan listened silently, then raised his eyelids, looking in the direction of Zhen Nan Prefecture, gradually revealing an imposing demeanor.

"Let’s go. As fellow members of the Human Clan, how can we watch these beasts act so arrogantly!"

"I, as a mountain man, must face them."

Saying this, he extended his hand, and a treasured light flew out from his sleeve, landing in his palm.

He held a treasure robe in white and blue hues, thin as a cicada’s wing, with incredibly fine and intricate weaving, revealing its extraordinary nature.

Then, he turned towards Zhao Quanzhen and said:

"This is the Dust-Repelling Robe, woven and refined from the silk of the rare silkworm, nurtured by my two Divine Treasures of water and fire for three years. It is impervious to blade and fire and can hide one’s presence."

"Your cultivation is not yet complete. I see Demonic Qi soaring ahead, undoubtedly the Demon Cave, and there may be more than one Great Demon present. The task is perilous, wearing this robe can help you conceal your aura."

"If not for your extensive experience with these demons, your teacher and I would have gone alone, not allowing you to take the risk, here, take it!"

Zhao Quanzhen listened to this uncle’s words, understanding it as a testament of his uncle’s love, slightly bowed his body, accepted it with both hands, and felt the Dust-Repelling Robe extremely light and soft upon touch, like a cloud, "Thank you, Uncle!"

"Put it on!"

"This is the spell." Yangshan pinched his fingers, then hit Zhao Quanzhen’s wrist, a white True Qi entered his wrist, automatically navigating his acupoints, forming a route map.

This is the True Qi route to drive the robe.

Zhao Quanzhen activated the True Qi according to this method, and the Dust-Repelling Robe on his hand turned into two strands of smoke, spreading upwards from his two arms.

As Spirit Light flickered, within a breath, Zhao Quanzhen put on the robe, resembling a transparent silkworm robe, and the aura around him became faint and illusory, instantly effective.

"Your uncle has brought out this robe, it means he’s serious. Quanzhen, you go first. Your uncle and I will follow behind, and your teacher will also take this opportunity to assess the results of your recent training."

At this moment, Ling Yunzi spoke, his eyes carrying encouragement and a certain expectation.

"Yes, teacher!" Zhao Quanzhen clasped his fists, and without further words, took two steps forward, looked at the small mounds of graves beneath his feet, then stepped up, transforming into a white light, disappearing into the vast wind and snow, heading straight for Zhen Nan Prefecture.

From the barren mountain behind, Ling Yunzi and Yangshan watched him move, then exchanged a glance,

"Senior brother, I sense the Demonic Qi bubbling in Zhen Nan Prefecture, I’m afraid this journey won’t be simple." Ling Yunzi spoke, took a deep breath, vaguely feeling that something big was about to happen.

The bounty posted by the Mountain-cutting Army at Chuanzhong Pass suggested something unusual, he really couldn’t guess the intention behind it.

"No matter, you didn’t stop Quanzhen, you always treated him like a son." Yangshan questioned him back.

"This is his path, and we are old. This trip to Shu is a significant impact on him, he has met a good guide. I feel that if Quanzhen can act according to his heart this time, he should soon break through to the third layer of Tao Fruit and be promoted to Martial Vault." A look of expectation and hope rose in Ling Yunzi’s eyes.

"Really?" Yangshan was a bit surprised, then recalled something, "You are his master, you understand him best. Your words mean that the nephew’s progress recently has been substantial, no wonder he was reluctant to participate in the Luotian Grand Sacrifice. If he can advance to Martial Vault, he would not pale compared to those future rising stars on the ranking of each mountain!"

Saying this, he suddenly thought of something, his eyes held a bit of curiosity, "My brother just said Quanzhen met a very good guide? As his master, those words are a bit odd, who is it?"

Ling Yunzi looked solemn, a silver-armored figure emerged in his shimmering eyes, "It’s the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel of the Mountain-cutting Army, senior brother should have heard of this person in Shu!"

"Is it him! I indeed heard of him, after entering Shu, I heard this person’s deeds several times. Not long ago, at the Tianxiong Pass, it caused quite a stir."

"Hmm, my disciple and I had a chance encounter with this Colonel, and participated in the last battle, charging back with the Ninth Mountain’s troops from outside the border, where we witnessed the cruelty of the Demon Battlefield. I think it was then that Quanzhen’s Tao Heart changed, hence this talk." Saying this, the Martial Vault suddenly showed a movement of expression, associating the Luotian Grand Sacrifice, and said to the somewhat surprised senior brother:

"Senior brother, not having been in contact with this general may not know, this person is similar in age to Quanzhen!"

This is a detail many neglect or don’t know the truth!

Because few had real contact with the Colonel, not knowing the true background of this figure, many only heard marketplace tales, the more it spread, the more distorted it became, or rather, the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel’s deeds were so dazzling that people overlooked the matter of age.

"What?" Yangshan was surprised to hear this, "How can that be? I heard this general defeated Martial Vault figures at Tianxiong Pass, and even dared to oppose the Void Projection of Great Dragon Tiger Ability."

Faced with the brother’s skepticism, Ling Yunzi simply stated, "Younger brother is not joking."

Yangshan slowly restrained his facial expression, turning solemn, "There’s truly such a hidden talent in Shu, if this person joins the Luotian Grand Sacrifice, they’re likely to reach the top of the lists, making others a laughingstock."

"It really seems as you said, he could be Quanzhen’s guide!"

While the two Martial Vaults of Enlightenment Mountain spoke, a sudden explosion came from far away.

This abrupt commotion paused their conversation; with expressions changing, they looked toward the source of the explosion.

"Looks like Quanzhen has started to act!"

"Let’s move!"

Thereupon, the duo’s forms vanished in the wind in unison, leaving behind the small mound and the Mountain-cutting Banner flapping in the wind, as if singing a battle hymn!

.........

Meanwhile, while Zhao Quanzhen and others were barrelling toward Zhen Nan Prefecture, several thousand miles north in Jingguan City,

in the Ninth Mountain Military Camp, a crowd of armored troops lined the training grounds, their iron armor differing in style from that of the Ninth Mountain.

At this time, below the Commander’s Platform, three Red-armored Generals stood opposite a woman in a red dress.

"Elder Wu is entrusted to you three generals!"

Lian Nichang cupped her fists and bowed toward Yun Tiansheng and his company.

"Military Officer Lian, you are too formal, leaving without letting us extend proper hospitality. Our apologies for seeing you off this way."

"There will naturally be other chances, Mountains and waters always meet, and when my brother gives the word, we shall meet again at the front line! Farewell!" Lian Nichang did not speak further, turning swiftly and stepping onto a chestnut horse.

Then, tugging at the reins, she galloped away on horseback.

She sped through the ranks standing aside, charging straight through the slowly opening gates of the Ninth Mountain Military Camp.

With a shout of "Hyah,"

The chestnut horse galloped out swiftly, charging through the lined-up troops, bolting out of the slowly opening gates of the Ninth Mountain Military Camp.

Her movement sent the thousand-strong cavalry thundering out of the Ninth Mountain, heading back to Qingshan County to take command of the remaining thirty thousand troops, then proceeding as Chen Yuan instructed, leading the troops.

Thousands of riders thundered out as Lian Nichang led them, leaving the Ninth Mountain behind, heading back to Qingshan County, to take command of the remaining forces and then lead the troops according to Chen Yuan’s instructions.

She rode fast, the snow flew high, the sound of hooves thundered as they sped away.
