744: Chapter 260: Enemies on a Narrow Road!

Two white clouds had left the Castcloud Sect’s gate an hour ago, heading to the barracks in the central region of the East Continent.

Apart from the secret realm barracks beneath the Eastern Alliance’s headquarters known as Tianzhi Ruins, the Eastern Alliance had five major barracks located at the five cardinal directions of the East Continent, each stationed with hundreds of thousands to over a million celestial soldiers.

Within these places lived many of the Human Race, which were called secret realm cities.

The barracks that Li Dazhi was now heading towards was situated in the central region.

The atmosphere on the cloud ahead was somewhat…

off.

Li Dazhi sat upright and cross-legged, with his flowing wig dancing in the wind behind him, exuding a sense of authority;

Meanwhile, not far from Li Dazhi, an immortal maiden sat with her legs crossed and leaned to the side.

This immortal had delicate features, a harmonious face, and make-up that highlighted a mature and enchanting charm.

Her loose-fitting long dress did not accentuate her slender and graceful figure intentionally, yet it added an air of nobility and stateliness.

This was none other than Ye Zisang’s master, the sole female representative of the Eastern Alliance, Wen Rou.

Li Dazhi turned to look at the white cloud not far behind him.

Three Heavenly Immortal elders from the Castcloud Sect were sitting around playing cards, carefully avoiding Li Dazhi’s gaze.

After mixing with Sect Leader Dazhi for so long, which elder didn’t have some measure of insight?

What was the current situation?

Everyone had seen it all before; who couldn’t see through this kind of thing?

“Sect Leader Dazhi,” Wen Rou tried to find a topic to discuss, “There are many talents within the Human Race, and the Holy Mother’s selection of officials for the Heavenly Court is also imminent.

Actually, there is no need to rush in searching for celestial officials.”

Li Dazhi cleared his throat and did not dare to look at Wen Rou, speaking at a calmer pace,

“This matter was personally decreed by the Heavenly Emperor, to consider Centurion Fu Yu.

“Ping’an is actually worried that Centurion Fu Yu will deplete his essence and overdraw his potential, making it difficult for him to get by in the barracks in the future.

“The Heavenly Court is short of personnel, and he has some relationship with Centurion Fu Yu.

The Heavenly Court also lacks a battle formation instructor, and who better than this True Immortal who has come through life and death battles?”

Wen Rou sighed softly, “Ping’an values friendship deeply; truly a blessing for the Human Race.”

“Ahem,” Li Dazhi casually inquired, “The distribution of these barracks across the Eastern Alliance is quite thoughtful.

Are they arranged according to the five elements?

And then the five major barracks can activate a grand array that covers the East Continent…

just like in the Southern Continent?”

“How could there be such a grand array that covers the vast expanse of the East Continent?”

Wen Rou laughed,

“When the Holy Mother established the Skycutter Great Array in the Southern Continent, it took the effort of two generations of Human Emperors, gathered countless masters, and with the personal arrangement of Lord Fuxi Shi, a map of the Skycutter Great Array was set up.

This isolated the Southern Continent from the outside world, turning it into a place for mortals to flourish and become the last retreat of the Human Race.

“The East Continent has taken a different approach from the Southern Continent.

“These barracks in the East Continent also have another explanation.”

“What’s that?”

“After Chiyou was torn apart by chariots, his demonic body still did not perish, filled with resentment reaching to the skies.

These barracks serve to suppress the lands where Chiyou’s demonic body lies.”

Wen Rou, the Heavenly Immortal, said softly,

“Chiyou not only attained the Ancestral Witch’s blood essence but also absorbed the Demonic Qi of the Sea of Blood.

One fears that there are plots of the Western Sect behind this.

“The Sea of Blood harbors the Asura clan, and back in the days, Chiyou’s armies also included Eight-Armed Asuras and Six-Armed Asura demon soldiers.

“For this reason, it’s possible that Chiyou’s demonic body could be revived by the Demonic Qi, becoming something like a corporeal demon.

Minister Feng set up a grand array to use the Barracks Secret Realm to suppress Chiyou’s Demonic Body.”

Li Dazhi’s expression revealed an epiphany, followed by a laugh, “Unimaginable, that in the war that ended ancient times, our enemies were not just the Hundred Clans.”

“There are forces in this world uniting and conspiring to push the Human Race to the brink of death.”

Wen Rou let out a soft sigh and slightly lowered her head; her gaze fixed on Li Dazhi, she said softly,

“Brother…

it’s indeed fortunate for us to have you and Ping’an around.”

“Too kind, too kind!”

Li Dazhi cleared his throat, “I suddenly have some insight.

I mustn’t break through to longevity without restraint; I need to press down and ponder on it for a bit.”

After speaking, he swiftly settled into a meditative pose.

Wen Rou, however, smiled gently and said nothing more, driving her cloud towards the hidden entrance of the Barracks Secret Realm.

An hour later.

Wen Rou led Li Dazhi to a corner of the Barracks Secret Realm and pointed to a man with a limp who was adjusting medicinal herbs beside dozens of Pill Furnaces.

“That is Chiliarch Fu Yu, who now holds the same rank as a Centurion, responsible for the daily alchemy tasks.”

Li Dazhi knit his brows and carefully observed Fu Yu’s figure before strolling over with his hands behind his back.

Wen Rou stood quietly with her hands clasped in front of her; many immortal generals watched from a distance, as they had recognized the Great Wealth Immortal.

“Busy, I see?”

Li Dazhi greeted with a cheerful smile.

Fu Yu, who was picking herbs with a basket, frowned as he looked at Li Dazhi and said in a deep voice, “This is a critical area of the barracks, and outsiders must not intrude without permission.”

“Look at me, how could I be considered an outsider?”

Li Dazhi smiled, picked up a basket by his side, and examined the medicinal herbs in it, speaking in a relaxed tone,

“I am Li Dazhi, the Great Wealth Immortal, personally ennobled by the Human Emperor and currently in charge of various matters including the construction of the Heavenly Court.

I greet you courteously.”

Fu Yu paused for a moment and then nodded slightly, “Many thanks for the Heavenly Emperor’s high regard.

I am old and no longer of much use; I now only wish to refine Elixir Pills in the barracks and manage military provisions until my lifespan is exhausted, and then return to my hometown.”

“Oh, don’t say that, wouldn’t that be wasting a general’s talent?”

Li Dazhi laughed,

“After Ping’an last visited home, he keeps singing your praises to me, saying that charging into battle behind you gave him a sense of unstoppable momentum as if embracing death without fear.”

“Matters of war are serious and should not be taken lightly.

I would ask that Great Wealth Immortal not jest so.”

Fu Yu frowned as he looked at Li Dazhi.

Li Dazhi’s smile quickly faded, and he said earnestly, “General Fu, to speak frankly, Ping’an is urgently away, or he would have certainly come to find you himself.

He made me promise before leaving that, should I learn of your whereabouts, I must make a visit.”
