Chapter 112: Preparing for Battle

Five people set out from the Kunlun Mountains, heading towards the capital. More than half a century had passed, and human society had undergone dizzying changes. Strange architectural structures appeared everywhere, and peculiar tools could be found in abundance.

However, this place was not the capital, it was merely the first densely populated area on the way to the capital. The five of them stopped and observed their surroundings. Jun Wu Xiao remarked:

"Wow, it seems we are truly outdated now. From the architecture to the transportation and even the daily items people use, everything is so unfamiliar to me."

The other four nodded in agreement. Yue Guang said:

"It’s true, ever since humanity unified, they have developed much faster than before. After all, they no longer waste resources and manpower on meaningless wars, so it’s understandable that civilization has advanced more quickly."

"Right, we’ve been on the mountain for so long that we’ve become primitive people now." Chen Wo Lun nodded.

"I wonder if there are any new sword-forging technologies or inventions of materials that are hard enough?" Feng Shuang said.

Dao San Qian frowned upon hearing this and said:

"You can crush a sword with your bare hands now, and you still like using swords?"

"Of course, whether it’s effective or not is not important. What’s important is that I like using it." Feng Shuang nodded.

"Alright, let’s quickly head to their cultivated place. The capital probably has many more interesting things. After all, this is just a small place." Jun Wu Xiao said.

Everyone nodded, then immediately rushed towards the capital. The place where the others were in seclusion for cultivation was not inside the capital but in a large forest about a hundred miles away.

After all, the capital was too restrictive for extremely powerful individuals. Only some cultivators in the body refinement realm chose to cultivate within the capital.

Chu Wu and the others, who were cultivating, sensed that five powerful individuals were approaching.

They also ran out to greet these guests, it had been a long time since they had gathered in such numbers in one place. Chu Wu smiled and said:

"Ha ha, it’s indeed rare. What brings you here?"

"I..."

Jun Wu Xiao was about to speak but Dao San Qian interrupted him:

"Anyone who wants to hit Jun Wu Xiao, come to the desert and join in. He wants to take on ten at once."

The six of them were stunned. Sheng Yuan asked:

"Do you need to see a doctor?"

Jun Wu Xiao, slightly annoyed at constantly being talked about this way, said:

"This is the last time. I’m not sick, and I’m not stupid. Do you want to fight or not? Speak up."

Zhu Ji Feng, seeing this, laughed and said:

"Ha ha, don’t be in such a hurry. I’ve wanted to hit you for a long time... ops, I mean, I also want to join."

His slip of the tongue made everyone except Jun Wu Xiao think:

"Ha ha, excellent. We’ve got bait, I’ll use him to lure Jun Wu Xiao."

Jun Wu Xiao squinted at Zhu Ji Feng, feeling an unusual urge to punch that face. He said:

"Alright, I’ll remember that."

This made Zhu Ji Feng shiver. He coughed and said:

"Cough cough, I’m feeling a bit under the weather. Sorry, I need to see a doctor."

He turned to leave but was stopped by someone grabbing his shoulder. It was none other than his beloved Path companion, Yan Meng Long. She said:

"Hey, where do you think you’re going? Everyone is here, and you plan to escape?"

"Exactly. Everyone’s here, so don’t even think about running." they all said.

Zhu Ji Feng stopped and smiled, but inwardly he was in despair. He thought:

"A bunch of traitors, even my Path companion betrayed me. Damn it, my stupid mouth. No worries, I can run fast, so I’ll be fine... Fine my ass, he’s two minor realms above me. This time, if I’m lucky, I won’t be bedridden. If not, I don’t even want to think about it."

"Ha ha, great. Then let’s go. If it’s a big desert, it must be that one." Xia Ni said.

"Huh? You know which one?" Jun Wu Xiao asked.

"I guess. Based on the places you’ve been, the desert should be either to the west or the south. We’ll just head to the biggest desert in that area." Xia Ni replied.

"Good, then let’s go." Jun Wu Xiao said.

All eleven of them headed straight towards the desert. As they went, Yan Meng Long asked:

"Why the desert? The entire eastern continent is already a battlefield, so why not go there?"

"Seriously? If we went there, everyone would run away instead of fighting. You know how destructive you can be." Jun Wu Xiao said.

"I don’t think it’s that bad. The area we fight in is just a few hundred miles at most." Yan Meng Long said.

"I’m not saying we can destroy the entire continent, but we will scare them. Imagine a bunch of running roaming explosives going off outside. Would anyone dare to go out?" Jun Wu Xiao said.

"He’s not wrong. Another thing is that we promised that area to them. Even if we fight within a few hundred miles, the land and resources there already have owners. It would be too unfair to them." Xia Ni said.

Although they didn’t participate in the affairs of the continents, they were not ignorant of them. When policies were issued, the Evaluate Council sent a letter to Xia Ni, as this was a significant matter.

"I see. The desert works for me too. Fighting there won’t damage the ecosystem too much. After all, there are fewer living creatures and plants." Yan Meng Long nodded.

.....

A short while later, they arrived at the desert. With their incredible speed, the journey didn’t take long.

Now, where they stood, they were surrounded by nothing but sand. It was an ideal place for them to wreak havoc without worrying about affecting too many people or creatures.

"Alright, how do you want to fight? Should we stop when someone loses the ability to continue?" Jun Wu Xiao asked.

"Agreed." everyone nodded.

Though they didn’t enjoy fighting, it was rare to have such an opportunity. A serious fight to gain more experience would be beneficial.

Jun Wu Xiao switched to a battle-ready position and said:

"Let’s start now."

"Wait!" Yue Guang said.

Jun Wu Xiao looked puzzled and asked:

"Huh? What do you want?"

"If we’re all going to fight you, we need to discuss our strategy. Run straight over there, more than a hundred miles away. When we get there, just start fighting." Yue Guang said.

"Got it." Jun Wu Xiao said and immediately took off.

Dao San Qian smirked and said:

"He used to say he wouldn’t follow everything she said. Now he doesn’t argue and just does it."

"Ha ha ha." everyone laughed.
