Chapter 660: Chapter 35: Changing Homes!

"Of course, we support that."

They all changed their stance—after all, there was no need to make an enemy of Mr. He over such a matter. If he wanted to go, let him go, because it wasn’t them who were in danger.

"Alright."

Mr. Chen, who had been silent all along, stood up at this moment. He sighed and patted Principal He on the shoulder, "I will accompany you."

"Eh?" Hearing this, even Principal He, who had made up his mind, was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, there’s no need for that, you..."

"Tsk."

However, the Cave Heaven Bloodline cultivator waved his hand impatiently, signaling Principal He to shut up. The aura of the Purple Mansion True Man began to rise gradually, transforming into layers of frosty light wheels around him.

A chilling coldness spread, making Mr. Chen’s voice, appearance, and aura regain their youthful sharpness and dignity: "Do not think that I sympathize with you. Taking risks is necessary for progress. I wager this rescue operation will not only make a name for Jingwei Academy but also... allow us to seize the initiative in the chaos of North Lake!"

"Pass my command, commence the rescue operation immediately, and request full support from all subordinate units."

"At your command!"

Before the world strife, Mr. Chen, who should have been the ’Supreme Elder’, spoke, and naturally, Sect Leader Principal He and the other elders and directors all responded.

Soon, all the businesses and armed forces related to Third Middle School entered the highest state of response.

A quarter of an hour later, a squadron of twelve military flying shuttles departed from Xuanye City, heading towards North Lake.

"An Xuan, good news!"

At the same time, Mrs. Guang also received the news that ’Third Middle School is truly mobilizing all its resources for the rescue operation’, and she was overjoyed and reported to An Jing.

Even though it was strange that a teacher was reporting to a student, everyone stationed at the foot of the hills didn’t feel anything improper.

"A good thing, but it might be too far to quench the near thirst."

An Jing listened to Mrs. Guang’s report while raising his hand to smash a meteorite falling from the sky with his newly modified heavy sword box, turning it into a sky full of fireworks.

He had just handed over various weapons in his Great Void Magical Instrument to the Steel Skeleton Mercenary Corps. The terrifying number of explosive munitions made even these battle-hardened mercenaries stare dumbfounded, completely puzzled as to why An Jing would carry so much heavy firepower, especially those rocket missiles.

An Jing was somewhat surprised by the rescue from Third Middle School; he knew his relationship with the school was only through Nian Quan and Principal He. Even being a genius, how could he deserve the support of an entire academy?

Regardless of the reason, Third Middle School was at least willing to make a move, which meant they were willing to regard him as ’one of their own’.

Unfortunately, they could not teleport.

An Jing surveyed his surroundings.

At this moment, the forest around the fortress area had almost been taken over by fierce flames; the entire wilderness was ablaze, with countless Fire Crows and Ash Crows emitting shrill cries as they flew through the flames, attacking those that were not of their kind.

With the appearance of the Golden Crow, the team of Wilderness cultivators had essentially disintegrated. Their two leading Foundation Establishment Cultivators were trying to break through with their elite guards, but as An Jing had previously mentioned, at this point, breaking through was nearly impossible.

Because waves of Demon Spirits and Monsters were coming from all directions, their converging forces resembled rushing tidal waters. Trying to break through was like rowing upstream; not making any progress was one thing, but even moving forward meant being overturned by the head-on waves.

Among these converging Monsters, there were actually other presences of the Purple Mansion, An Jing was sure that these were other Demon Kings from the surrounding Wilderness. Originally dormant, they wouldn’t have awoken for minor matters in the Fortress Area, but the appearance of the Golden Crow had startled them, and they were now approaching the Fortress Area with primitive fury.

Thick smoke darkened the skies, several forces of the Purple Mansion stood in opposition, and the Golden Crow cried out in the mountains, not attacking its supposed target—the ’Fortress Area Spirit Vein anomaly’—but instead, it subtly protected it, blocking other incoming Demon Spirits.

Without a doubt, this Golden Crow Demon King was the reinforcements from the mysterious forces.

The situation was relatively better at the hillside where An Jing and others were due to the lack of trees, giving them some ground to defend. Just now, Steel Skeleton and others had led a team that repelled an attack by a Fire Crow Flock.

But that was just a slight respite. As more and more Fire Crows noticed the group of humans here, their attacks would become more frequent and dangerous.

[What do we do, An Xuan?]

Steel Skeleton had also noticed this. He leaped up, using a long sword emitting a golden-orange glow to slash down several Fire Crows and a large flock of Ash Crows: [Even with reinforcements, we might not hold out until they arrive.]

"Definitely won’t last."

An Jing surveyed the entire battlefield, "See that? The Fire Crow Flock is targeting other humans and Demon Beasts around the Fortress Area, but inside the Fortress Area itself it’s relatively calm. Those Foundation Establishment cultivators have already hidden inside."

"Staying put or breaking through, either we get swallowed by flames or by Monsters. If we don’t want to die, we have only one choice now."

Raising his hand, An Jing signaled everyone to halt. He stepped forward, with a flash of his sword light, he cut through the completely ignited and carbonized trees in front of him, and gave an order: "Follow me, head to the enemy’s lair!"

"Target the Fortress Area!"

With that, An Jing took out some last-resort materials from his Void Magical Instrument.

[Reflecting Glow Goosefoot].

This kind of Fire-Wood Dual Elemental Spiritual Objects, common in the northwest, could enhance the Root Bone and Spiritual Wisdom of Demon Beasts. Once they appeared, they would be fought over by Demon Beasts—common though they were, mature specimens were rarely seen.

But An Jing had acquired a batch from Kanming City, and another from the Linjiang City warehouse, originally intended for trade in Xuanye City, but now they were perfectly suited for use as bait.

An Jing exerted his strength and threw out wooden boxes containing Reflecting Glow Goosefoot leaves. They burst open in mid-air, the spilling Pure Spiritual Qi instantly shifted the attention of the majority of Fire Crows. They issued exceedingly excited cries, completely abandoning other targets, and dived toward the leaf fragments.

Even some Fire Crows started fighting each other over these Spiritual Objects—the ordinarily orderly Fire Crow Flock became extremely chaotic due to the appearance of the Golden Crow.

Seeing this scene, An Jing couldn’t help but feel quite emotional; these Spiritual Objects had been at the bottom of his Magical Instrument for a long time.

Now, it seemed that if he had chosen not to enter the city back then but to hunt Fire Crows instead, he could have profited quite a lot and might even have unraveled the real mysteries behind the Golden Crow Fire Crow avian disturbances.

But now was also the perfect time to use them.

Seizing the opportunity of the Fire Crows’ frenzy, everyone rushed into the Fierce Flames.
