Chapter 72 They Are All Stepping Stones for Me to Build My Foundation
“Who?!”
There are a large number of scouts in the surrounding area of Wanwei City, with a radius of 100 miles. There are also scouts in key locations within a radius of 1,000 miles. There are also scouts in other remote places. ˜”*°•.˜˜.•°*”˜
As long as there is any movement in the surrounding area, it can be clearly seen.
These scouts are also very nervous when they hear the movement.
After all, if someone does not follow the rules, it will be the end of sending people in the foundation building and dragon transformation realms.
But they don’t know that the Tongtian election is imminent, and all the major holy places are preparing for the Tongtian election. If the sects in the continent dare to make trouble, they will really die.
A strange sound came, and soon a short puppet came into view. The next moment, it staggered two steps and fell to the ground. It was obvious that the inlaid spirit stones were exhausted.
The scouts hiding in the dark waited quietly for a moment, and seeing that there was indeed no movement, a scout carefully stepped forward to check.
He found that this was indeed just an ordinary puppet, but soon he saw several pieces of blood-stained image stones.
He picked up the image stone and activated it. The next moment, he saw a shocking scene that made him exclaim.
"The essence of heaven and earth!"
--
"Report!"
Wanwei City, City Lord's Mansion.
City Lord Zhu Xianming is a great cultivator in the Yuanling Realm, but this place is the Red Valley Battlefield, so as the city lord, he must not leave the scope of Wanwei City.
His existence is to deter the little rats in Wanwei City, and at the same time to defend Wanwei City. Unless it is absolutely necessary, he must not step out of Wanwei City.
This is the commission of the Five Sects of Hengshan.
After all, if he leaves for a moment and is known by the other two domains, once Wanwei City is lost, it is very likely that a spark will spread like wildfire, leading to the loss of the southern part of Hengshan Domain.
However, this tacit understanding has lasted for countless years. None of the three domains has broken the unspoken rules of the Red Valley Battlefield, and all of them have tacitly accepted that this place is the training battlefield for their outer disciples.
A "report" disturbed Zhu Xianming's tea tasting time.
"What's the matter?"
"Sir, I found a heaven and earth essence in the Soul-Broken Valley." The man knelt on one knee and raised several image stones above his head with both hands.
Heaven and earth essence?
Zhu Xianming muttered, but there was no ripple in his heart.
First, he was a casual cultivator, his parents had passed away long ago, he had no Taoist partner, no children, and no apprentices, so this thing was of little use to him.
He guarded Wanwei City because he had something to ask the five sects for, and promised to guard it for a hundred years.
Second, he was not an alchemist, so he was naturally not interested in heaven and earth essence.
Of course, if he could get a heaven and earth essence and go to the holy land to exchange for resources, it would be a good thing.
He stretched out his hand to take the image stone, and after activating it, a place with a faint mist appeared in front of him.
This terrain is the Soul-Broken Cliff at first glance. Only the Soul-Broken Cliff is surrounded by mist all year round due to the reasons of heaven and earth. Although there is a road leading to the three domains, it is not a major pass.
The main thing is the terrain. If the army of body building and Qi gathering passes by and there is an ambush, they will basically be wiped out. This terrain is really stupid.
Only some profiteers who resell materials will pass through here.
The perspective of the image stone is from bottom to top. Through the faint mist, you can vaguely see a dreamlike spiritual flower on the cliff of the valley.
At a glance, Zhu Xianming knew that this was indeed a plant of heaven and earth essence.
"It's just that it's a bit clumsy."
The mist of the Soul-breaking Cliff just faded, and a plant of heaven and earth essence just appeared?
Although the image on the image stone was shaky, there was a fatal flaw, that is, the blood on the image stone.
What? You were bleeding during the battle, and you still used the image stone to record it?
Thinking about it, Zhu Xianming took a sip of tea and said, "Come here."
"Sir!"
"Go and issue the city lord's mission, recruit 30,000 troops, and say that there is a heaven and earth essence in the Soul-breaking Valley. As long as you can seize it, the whole army will be rewarded. Let Gongsun Li lead the army this time."
"Yes, sir."
After giving the order, Zhu Xianming no longer cared about the matter.
As for why he went there even though he knew it was a poor plan, it was naturally because 30,000 troops were a drop in the bucket for Wanwei City.
There are more than 200 million people in the entire Wanwei City, not including the large number of counties, towns and villages around Wanwei City. If added together, there are even more cultivators who are training their bodies and gathering their qi.
More than 70% of the cultivators in Wanwei City are trained in the body and gathering their qi. They all come to Wanwei City to train or take on tasks to earn spirit stones.
Although he doesn't care about the heaven and earth essence, if he can get it, it would be best to take it.
It's better to have it than not. This thing is a good thing to make friends with those great cultivators who like the younger generation.
As for sending scouts to investigate, wouldn't that be a waste of time? In addition, with the terrain of Broken Soul Valley, it would be useless no matter how many people there are. Thirty thousand troops are just right.
If they can't get it, it will just waste the time of thirty thousand troops.
If they are ambushed? Only thirty thousand troops will die, and the loss is affordable. Anyway, these people are here to gain experience, and there is no place to go that is not a place to gain experience?
Fragrant, this Dragon Leap Tea is really fragrant, Zhu Xianming squinted his eyes and enjoyed it.
…
Gongsun Li is an old man with a white beard and hair at the ninth level of Qi Gathering. After receiving the task from the city lord, he naturally accepted the order.
Because it is the city lord's task, and the Red Valley battlefield has been at war for many years, the thirty thousand troops are recruited and assembled quickly.
In addition, Gongsun Li is an experienced commander. Many people who are still considering whether to accept the task made up their minds when they saw him.
"The goal is the Broken Soul Cliff. Except for the major generals, everyone will walk."
Unless it is a demon beast mount, as a cultivator, he is not afraid of cavalry charge.
A heaven and earth essence appeared. Since the city lord recruited 30,000 troops, there must be a bloody battle under the cliff of broken souls.
Gongsun Li looked up, as if he had seen an unusually bloody meat grinder.
"Let's go!"
Although the body-building realm and the Qi-gathering realm are not placed in the realm of cultivators, they are much stronger than mortals.
Just as the foundation-building can easily slaughter the body-building and Qi-gathering realms, they can also easily slaughter mortals.
When Gongsun Li led the army and had not yet reached the cliff of broken souls, he heard the deafening shouts of killing that resounded through the sky. The thick smell of blood could be clearly smelled even from a long distance.
Gongsun Li's face changed. He was not surprised that there were people here, because the city lord did not tell him the details. He only knew that there was a heaven and earth essence in the cliff of broken souls.
And his purpose was to bring back the heaven and earth essence.
Now the shouts and cries of killing were deafening in the Cliff of Broken Souls. Gongsun Li was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to rob the essence of heaven and earth.
He first sent out several teams of the ninth level of Qi Condensation to search for the essence of heaven and earth, and then rushed directly into the thick fog with the remaining people.
"Kill!"
It was already evening, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the Cliff of Broken Souls, making the outline of this dangerous place even more steep.
At the same time, it also covered the Cliff of Broken Souls with a thin layer of golden gauze, and with the fog surrounding it, one could sigh at a glance that it was a beautiful place like a fairyland.
However, in this beautiful place, blood and limbs could be seen flying through the fog.
It was a pity that there was thick fog covering it, otherwise it would be a cruel and bloody battlefield picture with the sunset.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan, who was standing on the cliff, had no expression on his face. When he saw someone in the Qi Condensation Realm coming forward to snatch the dreamlike flower, the flying sword on his waist flashed like a thunder shadow.
These Qi-gathering monks only felt a flash of purple in their eyes, and before they could react, they were beheaded.
I don't know how many Qi-gathering monks were killed. When Zhou Xuan heard the sound of the earth shaking not far away, he couldn't help but reveal a cruel smile:
"Good, good! Finally you are here. You can become a stepping stone for me to build my foundation. Your life is much more valuable than others."
