Chapter 407: 315 Ice Silkworm True Person rushes to the front line_1

Golden Crow Grassland, Golden Crow City.

In a splendid golden hall, a full-figured woman in a purple dress sat in the main seat, her gaze authoritative.

A moderately-built man in green robe was reporting to the woman in the purple dress, his expression solemn.

"The Golden Ape Tribe’s two strongholds were attacked; all the guards were killed, and two Nascent Soul Cultivators perished. We do not know the number, cultivation, or divine skills of the enemy,"

the man in the green robe reported.

"Send word that all major tribes need to strengthen their defenses, gather their forces, and not give the Human Cultivators a chance to launch a surprise attack. By scattering Nascent Soul Cultivators, we are giving the Human Cultivators the opportunity to divide and conquer them. Call for one Nascent Soul Cultivator from each major tribe to form a team specially tasked with capturing Human Cultivators who have infiltrated deep into our Barbarian Tribe’s territory,"

the woman in the purple dress commanded.

Wu Na, in the late stage of Nascent Soul, a descendant of Wu Xiao.

"Yes, Elder Wu."

The man in the green robe complied and left with his orders.

······

A hidden underground cavern: Shen Long, Golden Crow True Monarch, Lin Qing, and Xu Mei were discussing something, with a map of the terrain spread out on the ground.

"We’ve already taken down a mine and a large Spirit Medicine Garden, which is no small feat. This is sure to have caught the attention of the Barbarian Tribe. Being a high-ranking member of the Barbarian Tribe, they will definitely organize experts to capture us. I suggest that we lay low for a while, then strike again later,"

Shen Long suggested.

"Indeed, we should not continue to strike out. It’s better to avoid drawing more attention for now and speak of further actions later,"

Lin Qing agreed wholeheartedly.

Xu Mei also felt the same way. Having taken down two strongholds of the Golden Ape Tribe, they had acquired a considerable amount of cultivation resources. They needed to be content and plan their next move after some time has passed.

Golden Crow True Monarch nodded and said, "I am of the same opinion. We’ll cultivate in hiding for a while and plan our next move after some time."

······

Refuse Barbarian City, Spirit Control Garden.

Ice Silkworm True Person and Du Yinyin were seated around a blue stone table, discussing something.

"He went out on an important mission? What mission?"

Ice Silkworm True Person asked, frowning.

He had made a trip to the Southern Border Cultivation World and exchanged Dharma Treasures for four fourth-tier demon silkworm inner cores, which he fed to the Green-Eyed Ice Silkworm, allowing it to successfully advance to the fourth tier.

When he and Han Yuwei returned to the Donghua Cultivation Realm, they learned that the Human Clan had gone to war with the Barbarian Tribe and immediately came over. Shen Long was already out on a mission.

"I’m not sure. Taoist Friend Lu told him to keep it confidential. Junior Brother Shen won’t be back in a short time. I suspect it involves causing trouble deep within the Barbarian Tribe’s territory,"

Du Yinyin speculated.

The Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe had been in conflict for over a million years and were familiar with each other’s tactics.

"Causing trouble deep within Barbarian Tribe’s territory?"

Ice Silkworm True Person’s brow furrowed; this mission was very dangerous, and there was a good chance of being surrounded by layers of Barbarian forces.

Du Yinyin nodded and said, "Yes! It’s also a good thing for Junior Brother Shen. Staying at the front line is very dangerous. He’s slain many Nascent Soul Cultivators and is definitely marked by the Barbarian Tribe. He might repeat Wang Yinghu’s fate."

Wang Yinghu was powerful, but he was targeted by Barbarian Cultivators who used a Soul Extinguishing Bead to ambush him, causing serious damage to his Divine Soul.

"I wish I had arrived a bit earlier."

Ice Silkworm True Person sighed.

"Don’t worry too much. Junior Brother Shen is powerful, and he has two mutated fourth-tier Spirit Insects. He will not be in danger,"

Du Yinyin consoled.

"I hope so. Speaking of which, the war has been going on for over twenty years now, and over forty Nascent Soul Cultivators have perished. It’s still unclear how much longer it will last."

Ice Silkworm True Person frowned and said.

"In any case, the Barbarian Tribe will surely be the first to falter. After this battle, we’ll be able to expand our territory, and with the battle merits of our Spirit Control Sect, we should be able to get some land."

Du Yinyin’s face showed a look of longing.

She and Shen Long had joined forces to slay many Nascent Soul Cultivators, all of which counted as battle merits. If the Human Clan were to expand their territory, the Spirit Control Sect could also obtain a piece of land. This was a promise made by Mo Wuya to motivate the troops; otherwise, who would be willing to brave the battle against the enemy.

"You and Shen Long have worked hard. For the upcoming battles, it’s my turn to exert some effort. Just so happens, my Life-Bound Spirit Insect has advanced to the fourth rank."

Ice Silkworm True Person said with full confidence.

Du Yinyin nodded, chatted for the time it took to drink a cup of tea, and then Ice Silkworm True Person went to rest.

...

A vast and undulating green mountain range appeared in the distance as a streak of blue Escape Light appeared in the far sky. With a quick motion, it halted, revealing a flying boat shimmering with blue light. A tall man in a green robe and a short, plump man in a yellow robe stood atop, both at the Core Formation Stage.

"The spiritual energy here is thin; they’re unlikely to hide in this place, right?"

The man in yellow robe looked down at the green mountain range below with a curious gaze.

"You can’t possibly be serious about scouting!"

The man in the green robe frowned and spoke.

"Taoist Friend Tu, what do you mean by that? The higher-ups have issued a generous bounty. If we find their whereabouts, there will be a great reward. Don’t you want the prize?"

The man in the yellow robe asked in confusion.

"Compared to the prize, I’d rather save my own life. If Nascent Soul Cultivators can’t do anything to them, how could we? Before we set off, we handed in our Life-Bound Lamps for centralized management, supposedly to facilitate the tracking of the enemy. If something happens to us, our Life-Bound Lamps will extinguish, and they will seal off this area as quickly as possible to root out the Human Cultivator. We’re being used as cannon fodder to draw out their Nascent Soul Cultivators."

The man in the green robe explained.

"But this is a mission from above. Are we to disobey orders?"

The man in the yellow robe asked doubtfully.

"Who said anything about disobeying? We are earnestly carrying out our mission, it’s just that we haven’t spotted the enemy, that’s all."

The man in the green robe responded earnestly, as the blue flying boat continued forward.

They didn’t use their Divine Sense to scout and after circling the mountain range, they left.

In a hidden underground cave, Shen Long and his group of four gathered together with a map laid out in front of them.

"Those two guys are quite sensible; otherwise, we would have had to slaughter them."

Lin Qing said.

"The Barbarian Tribe is now using the younger generation as bait to lure us out. We’re not fools. However, after recuperating for half a year, it’s time to pick another target."

Golden Crow True Monarch said.

"In my opinion, the Ice Bear Tribe is a good target. They have more large Spirit Medicine Gardens, and there aren’t many Nascent Soul Cultivators left behind to guard them. They are an easy target to squash."

Shen Long said.

"Based on the information we have, there are three major Spirit Medicine Gardens of the Ice Bear Tribe, and the one in Qingzhu Mountain Range is the most remote."

Xu Mei pointed at the map and said.

"Then let’s raid that Spirit Medicine Garden! But before that, we need to divert some of the high-ranking Barbarian Cultivators. First, we’ll eliminate a few Core Formation Cultivators to draw the Barbarian Tribe’s higher-ups to another place, and then we attack the Spirit Medicine Garden in the Qingzhu Mountain Range."

Golden Crow True Monarch said.

"Leave this task to me! I’ll meet up with you later."

Shen Long volunteered himself.

Golden Crow True Monarch nodded, reminding him, "Taoist Friend Shen, don’t linger in battle. Retreat immediately after success."

Shen Long agreed, and after chatting for an hour, he departed while Golden Crow True Monarch and the other two headed for the Qingzhu Mountain
