Chapter 394: 303 Call up again_1

Time flies, ten years have passed.

At Golden Roc Peak, in a certain practice room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red cushion, his eyes tightly closed, with red dragon scales visible on his skin.

After a while, Shen Long opened his eyes and exhaled a turbid breath.

"Seven hundred drops of essence blood, that’s much stronger than the Barbarian Cultivators of the same rank,"

Shen Long mumbled to himself.

He had now condensed seven hundred drops of essence blood, far exceeding other Body Cultivators of his level.

After soul searching the Nascent Souls of the Barbarian Cultivators, he found that most Nascent Soul early stage Barbarian Cultivators had condensed over five hundred drops of essence blood. Having consumed quite a bit of Blood Serpent Fruit and a Dragon Scale Fruit, regularly taking Blood Flood Dragon Pills for cultivation, and eating the flesh of a fourth-rank Flood Dragon, Shen Long’s physical body was strong, and he had managed to condense seven hundred drops of essence blood.

Most Body Cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage would not necessarily be able to condense seven hundred drops of essence blood, not to mention that Shen Long also possessed the heavy treasure, the Lihuo Stick.

Ice Silkworm True Person and Han Yuwei rushed to the Southern Border Cultivation World to search for a fourth-rank Demon Silkworm, while Shen Long taught Su Changfeng alchemy.

Under his careful guidance, Su Changfeng made some progress, but he was unable to refine high-quality elixirs, which wasn’t surprising. Even among the second-rank Alchemists of Medicine King Valley, those who could produce high-quality elixirs were rare.

Shen Long’s green Spirit Beast bag on his waist shook slightly. He slapped the bag, and the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox flew out, still at the late stage of the third rank.

"It seems I need to get you several more demon cores from fourth-rank Spirit Foxes to consume,"

Shen Long remarked, as he took out a Beast Nurturing Pill and fed it to the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox.

He took out a Messaging Plate with red light flickering, poured a spell into it, and Chen Xiao’s heavy voice rang out, "Uncle Shen, Wanjian Sect has summoned us again, distributing the Wanjian Order."

"Since it is a summons from the Wanjian Sect, let’s accept the order! Where is Senior Brother Yuan?"

Shen Long asked.

"Master Uncle Yuan is in closed-door cultivation, Master Uncle Liu and Junior Brother Lin are out and have not returned, both Master Aunt Du and Master Aunt Li are here,"

Chen Xiao replied.

"Alright! Send someone to inform Senior Sister Li, and we’ll meet at Senior Sister Du’s place for a meeting to discuss the war matters,"

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Uncle Shen,"

Chen Xiao agreed.

Shen Long put away the Messaging Plate, a contemplative expression on his face as he muttered, "The last war started because the Barbarian Tribe was suspected of having a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure. What about this time? Do they really possess a Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, or is there another agenda?"

Unsure of the answer, he put away the Messaging Plate, put the Green-Eyed Spirit Fox back into the Spirit Beast bag, and walked out.

Shen Long left his residence and arrived at Du Yinyin’s place, where Fang Ru had been waiting for a long time and personally invited him in.

Du Yinyin and Li Rongrong sat beside a green stone table, sipping tea and chatting.

"Senior Sister Li, how come you arrived so quickly?"

Shen Long expressed, surprised.

"I was just discussing something with Master Aunt Du. I didn’t expect Wanjian Sect to issue the Wanjian Order again. Less than three hundred years have passed, and they’ve initiated two large-scale wars. That’s extremely rare in the history of the Donghua Cultivation Realm’s Human Clan,"

Li Rongrong said, frowning.

The last war had cost Spirt Control Sect multiple Core Formation Cultivators, and both Liu Zi’an and Du Yinyin were wounded. Now, with another war initiated by Wanjian Sect, who knew how many cultivators would be killed or injured.

Shen Long nodded, "This is a challenge for us, but also an opportunity. It depends on whether we can seize it."

Every war was an opportunity for powers to reshuffle and for high-level cultivators to obtain cultivation resources. It was a ruthless struggle for survival.

Du Yinyin invited Shen Long to sit down, and the three made small talk over tea.

It wasn’t long before Chen Xiao arrived.

"Master Aunt Du, Uncle Shen, Master Aunt Li, the scale of the Wanjian Sect’s summon this time is even larger than the last. The duration of this war is likely to be longer,"

Chen Xiao said with a grave expression.

"What did the Wanjian Sect say?"

Du Yinyin inquired.

"They want us to dispatch two Nascent Soul Cultivators to lead the troops to battle and assemble at Refuse Barbarian City,"

Chen Xiao explained.

"With Senior Brother Yuan in closed-door cultivation, Senior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Lin not yet returned, I and Junior Brother Shen will lead the team. Junior Sister Li will oversee the headquarters, immediately issue orders to draw a group of disciples to join us at the front lines,"

Master Aunt Du said.

Shen Long and Li Rongrong had no objections, Chen Xiao responded with an affirmation and took up the order.

Zhao Country, Hundred Ghosts Sect.

In a secluded manor, Liu Mei and a tall, thin man in a green robe sat around a green stone table while Xu Li reported to them.

"Nether Corpse Sect is calling for arms! They want us to send two Nascent Soul Cultivators to lead the expedition?"

The man in the green robe frowned and spoke.

Su Xuan, at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, was born into the Hundred Ghosts Sect and had ascended to the Nascent Soul Stage hundreds of years ago.

Xu Li nodded, "Yes! The last great war ended just over a hundred years ago; it’s indeed rare for another to break out so soon."

"Has there been no clarity yet on the cause of death for Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Qin?"

Liu Mei asked.

"No, we only know that Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect are highly suspect, but we have no proof,"

Xu Li said.

Su Liang’s Life-Bound Lamp was extinguished, and Qin Wang’s whereabouts unknown, his fate uncertain. The Spirit Control Sect was highly suspect, especially since their Core Formation cultivators also discovered that fourth-order Spirit Flame.

"Even if we had proof, there’s nothing we could do about them. Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Qin were no match for them, not to mention us,"

Su Xuan said, frowning.

"With the Nether Corpse Sect having issued the call, we mustn’t disobey. Senior Brother Su, how about you and I lead the team this time?"

Liu Mei suggested.

Su Xuan nodded and answered, "That was my intention. I hope to obtain a Spiritual Treasure. We need to establish good relations with the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Nether Corpse Sect and the Heavenly Ghost Sect. If Senior Brother Su and Senior Brother Qin were indeed killed by Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Spirit Control Sect, they might also make a move against us."

"Indeed, we must be cautious,"

Liu Mei agreed wholeheartedly.

Golden Crow Grassland, Golden Crow City.

In a tranquil manor, Wu Xiao sat by a green stone table, with Bi Xin reporting to him.

"What? The Human Clan is launching a major invasion again?"

Wu Xiao frowned and expressed his displeasure.

It hadn’t been long since the last great war, and now the Human Clan had reignited hostilities, showing utter disregard for the Barbarian Tribe.

"Absolutely certain. Refuse Barbarian City has already gathered a large number of Human Cultivators. According to our insider reports, Wanjian Sect has called upon many forces, and the scale of the war may be even larger than last time,"

Bi Xin informed him.

"What about Wu Yan and the others? Have they not returned yet?"

Wu Xiao asked with a frown, referring to Wu Yan and several other Nascent Soul Cultivators who had gone to dangerous locations to break seals and retrieve treasures.

"No news yet. We will report to the Great Elder immediately once we have any,"

Bi Xin said.

She took out a Law Disk that flickered with purple light and input a spell, her brows furrowing.

"What’s happened?"

Wu Xiao asked in a grave tone.

"The Life-Bound Lamps of Wu Yan and two others have been extinguished. It seems they’ve met with significant trouble. The lamps of three others, however, are still intact,"

Bi Xin reported.

"Understood. Command the high-ranking fighters of twelve tribes to gather and head to Skywolf City to confront the Human Cultivators,"

Wu Xiao ordered.

"Yes, Great Elder,"

Bi Xin acknowledged the command and took her leave to carry out the orders.
