Chapter 506: Chapter 120 Bitter Silence Frost Calamity

In the distance, Yujiang City was enveloped by an ice dragon whose chilling aura swept through like a white curtain, transforming the whole city into a frozen nest. Undoubtedly, the common folk within had all become sacrificial offerings for the True Demon Sect.

It soared across heaven and earth, circling the city once, causing an invisible Law Domain to envelop the surroundings. The cavalry of Iron Li burst into resounding cheers, unaware of the Heavenly Demon’s true nature, still believing it to be their ancient Earth Spirit Dragon—a totem and Guardian.

Whereas in Linjiang City, the presence of the Divine Repository True Dragon, concealed among the clouds and fog with its icy blue dragon eyes, caused chills among the citizens. They could not see the details clearly, but as the Huai Xu people, they could discern that the enemy’s strength was not merely that of a Grandmaster, but that of the rare ’True Person’ they could hardly ever encounter in their lifetime.

Yet, An Jing was not particularly frightened.

To put it bluntly, an immobile Divine Repository was nothing more than a living Divine Weapon.

Even accompanying the army in attack would require a significant sacrifice for this Ice Dragon, as if he didn’t have a Civil and Military Formation Plate at his disposal, but the situation between the two sides remained balanced.

The people of Da Chen are not accustomed to wars of evenly matched disadvantage; having experienced breezy victories, they feel disadvantaged unless overwhelmingly dominant.

"How many Break Magic arrowheads do our crossbow carts have?" An Jing enquired Xu Tai.

"Less than fifty" Xu Tai, still stunned, replied instinctively: "But there’s still enough reserve of Mysterious Iron in the city, and there are craftsmen from the Bright Mirror Sect who can forge. We could process a batch of Mysterious Iron arrowheads, and after applying Skills, their power wouldn’t differ much."

Realizing what An Jing intended to do, Xu Tai was incredulous: "Do you intend to confront that Ice Dragon? That’s a Divine Repository realm!"

"Within the Law Domain, with a single thought, the Ice Dragon could freeze all the Break Magic arrowheads!"

An Jing shook his head: "We just need to harass it, that’s clearly not a normal Divine Repository, otherwise it would have pushed over directly."

"If it were a normal Divine Repository, until reinforcements from the Prefecture Government arrive, we would have no power to resist—yet conversely, if the opponent uses the Divine Repository and the Prefecture doesn’t send aid, then Da Chen shouldn’t claim to be an Imperial Dynasty or Heavenly Ancestor, they should rather be cowards."

At this point, a shallow silver glint sparked in An Jing’s eyes. Utilizing Subdue Evil’s Spiritual Vision, he observed the Earth Vein thoughtfully: "I see, it has leveraged Yujiang City’s Earth Vein, and the frigid chi accumulated over years by the Yujiang Frost Calamity, as well as many Dragon Blood Demon Spirits to take form."

"Besides not being able to move freely, it definitely has many vulnerabilities. We need to probe from various angles to find weaknesses."

"That’s indeed correct."

Bai Qinghan nodded, half a moment ago she had been using her own Mysterious Yin Star Mandate to observe the Ice Dragon, which also possessed Xuanyin Qi, and had made revelations: "The Ice Dragon lacks a spine and outer skin, its defense relies entirely on Divine Skills, and its action time is also limited..."

"Such an Earth Spirit, while formidable in defending the city, if it dares to leave the city, we are not without means to threaten it."

"We need to force them into battling outside the city." An Jing said, "How many Martial Artists are in the city?"

Xu Tai replied: "Apart from the scouting troops led by your disciple, there are thirty-six Martial Artists who can still act. This just suffices to form a Small Complete Circuit, manipulate it a bit, and shape a Small Martial Formation, which while defending the city, can at least withstand several times the impact of a Martial Army."

"No need." An Jing shook his head, already strategizing in his mind: "No need for them to defend the city."

"This way, I will work overtime in Artifact Refining, striving to equip each of the thirty-six Martial Artists with an Iron Kite. Grouping everyone into threes, coordinated by Water Mirror, they will go behind enemy lines based on intelligence to ambush Dust Li’s Supply Line."

"Meanwhile, mobilize all the city residents. Those who need to repair fortifications should do so, those who need to build new crossbow carts should do so. It doesn’t seem like the enemy will attack the city directly, we can’t waste this time."

After Xu Tai received the order to leave, An Jing looked towards the young girl by his side, signaling her to observe the location of the rocket box: "Bai Qinghan, you must learn how to use this new weapon, and later you’ll teach the martial artists how to use it."

"Understood." Bai Qinghan also received the order and left with several boxes of rocket launchers.

After An Jing finished giving his instructions, he also had to attend to other matters, but before that, he wanted to ask Virtuous King about some issues.

This went very smoothly.

"The Heavenly Demon Bitter Silence, is a ’Exalted Great Heavenly Demon’ from the Ancient Times. Every Exalted Great Heavenly Demon has caused destruction at least once or severely damaged the Upper Gate Heavenly Ancestor during the Demon Calamity, their destruction sweeping across the entire continent, and their demonic nature is nearly impossible to completely exterminate."

"Their demon soldiers are known as ’Frost Calamity’. Yes, the current disaster sweeping through the Northern Border, is most likely due to the revival of its demon soldiers altering the Heaven and Earth Law of the Extreme North Icefield."

In An Jing’s place, there wouldn’t be a situation where critical information is not shared due to communication issues, thus preventing key clues from being known to all and allowing the enemy’s bizarre plans to succeed.

As soon as Virtuous King saw the Ice Dragon in Linjiang City, he immediately understood the calculations behind everything made by the True Demon Sect, and An Jing figured it out immediately with more comprehensive sources of information.

Therefore, when An Jing came to inquire about relevant information, Virtuous King didn’t bother to have Zheng Mo relay messages privately, but directly used Zheng Mo’s body to relay to An Jing, "In legends, the Heavenly Demon Bitter Silence originally was a Half-demon Ice Dragon, often committed good deeds, but ultimately succumbed to demonic degeneration and became a Heavenly Demon, annihilating seven sects and three clans, causing the original North Mysterious Sacrifice Continent’s northern islands to collapse, a hundred thousand miles of sea frozen, turning into today’s Extreme North Icefield."

"Its descendants, are the most terrifying demons in the Extreme North Icefield, the ’Ice Demon’, a serpent-like entity that can bewitch people’s hearts and manipulate endless snow and ice."

"In ancient legends, Bitter Silence was slain by the ’Heavenly Sword’. This Heavenly Sword refers to a group of the most powerful sword cultivators and Immortal Gods during the Dao Sect Heavenly Ancestor era; they patrolled all heavens, slaying the Heavenly Demon across myriad realms, but even such a powerful Heavenly Sword faced a hard battle against Bitter Silence...in short, among the Exalted Great Heavenly Demons, Bitter Silence is one of the most powerful, if it were to revive, even just a fragment, the resulting Demon Calamity would be no less severe than the Hanhai Demon Disaster."

An Jing listened attentively.

The Da Chen Imperial Court is supported by the Divine Court, and the Divine Court also inherited the scriptures and records from the previous Heavenly Ancestors, passed down generation after generation, even though the Heavenly Ancestor changed several times, secrets from the Ancient Times were still preserved.

It’s not just the Heavenly Demon; even the organization "Heavenly Sword" which Subdue Evil belonged to was recorded.

"Subdue Evil, do you remember?"

An Jing asked inwardly, while Subdue Evil’s voice was full of doubt: "Heavenly Sword? I don’t remember it? I remember being quite a loner, not quite fitting into joining any organizations?"

"Think again."

An Jing felt that there must be some misunderstanding— with Subdue Evil’s personality, could he really be a loner? It would be good enough if he didn’t brag about defeating an enemy! But the Sword Immortal in his memories indeed had a reclusive and isolated demeanor, so maybe Subdue Evil got confused.

After thinking deeply for a while, Subdue Evil indeed recalled something, "Right... and wrong? I think I did indeed join. But it feels like it wasn’t as simple as the books described. The reason sword cultivators gathered was definitely not to hunt Heavenly Demons, but for..."

He faltered again, whenever Subdue Evil encountered information about the Ancient Times, he felt like a counterfeit Immortal Sword, either ignorant or with unclear memories.

But it didn’t matter to An Jing, "Actually, it’s already very valuable, at least sword cultivators from the Ancient Times indeed came together for some reason and engaged in extremely important matters."

"I was just wondering, if Bitter Silence was indeed sealed by you, would you have some kind of special attack against it? Like, one sword strike could severely shock and directly disintegrate that Sewing Monster Ice Dragon..."

"You’re overthinking it," Subdue Evil commented, "There’s no such pleasant scenario."

"Besides, I’ve already told you about the resurrection of the Heavenly Demon, after being sealed and destroyed, the Heavenly Demon that breaks free from its seal is no longer the original one, or should I say, it has completely transformed into a different self, allowing it to leave the seal targeting it."
