Chapter 868: 777 Race War (not today)

The Fire Fusion Mountain Range, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, was the age-old residence of the Fire Fusion Clan.

Deep within the mountain range, secluded in a quiet red estate, sat a rosy-cheeked old man dressed in red robes next to a green stone table. Yan Xiao and Jin Yuyan were reporting to the elderly man in red robes.

"Did you encounter Yun Lang?"

The old man in red robes was somewhat surprised.

Yan Qiu, patriarch of the Fire Fusion Clan.

"Yes! They were dueling with Taoist Friend Shen of the Qianling Sect, who deployed the Divine Skills from the ’Myriad Demons True Scripture,’ summoning seventh-rank Monster Beasts to serve him. Attracted by the commotion of the duel, we intervened with the aid of Madam Qin and two others, ultimately eliminating Yun Lang and his company."

Yan Xiao reported.

"I didn’t expect such an unintended gain. You’ve done well; keep this matter confidential. Go back and rest now!"

Yan Qiu instructed.

"Yes, Patriarch."

Yan Xiao and Jin Yuyan readily agreed and then withdrew.

...

A millennium passed swiftly.

Qianling Sect, Golden Roc Peak.

Inside a practice room, Shen Long sat cross-legged on a green cushion, his eyes slightly closed, enveloped in a sheen of green light.

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew in, landing in front of him.

Shen Long sensed something, the green light around him dissipated, and he opened his eyes. With a flick of his fingers, a beam of green light shot out, striking the Sound Transmission Talisman.

The talisman self-ignited, transmitting Sun Lin’s voice: "Uncle Shen, the Wang Family has sent someone, delivering a Conscription Order specifically for you to accept."

"A Conscription Order? For me to accept?"

Shen Long was momentarily stunned.

He took out a red-light-flashing Messaging Plate, input a spell, and asked, "Master Nephew Mo, where are the people from the Wang Family?"

"They’re in the reception hall; Uncle He is entertaining Senior Wang, who explicitly requested Uncle Shen to receive the order."

Mo Bingbing’s voice resonated.

"I understand. I’ll be right there."

Shen Long stored the Messaging Plate and got up to leave.

He arrived at the reception hall and saw He Zixiao casually chatting with a tall and thin man in a green shirt.

"I am Wang Yunlin; it’s a pleasure to meet you, Taoist Friend Shen."

The man in the green shirt greeted warmly, clasping his fists.

"I am Shen Long, Taoist Friend Wang; I am here to accept the order."

Shen Long spoke formally.

Wang Yunlin produced a green-light-flashing token, handing it to Shen Long, and said solemnly, "Taoist Friend Shen, our Wang Family has allied with the Fire Fusion Clan to wage a war against the Bloodvine Clan and Crystal Clan. Your Qianling Sect is required to dispatch three Unity Cultivators to the battle, and your participation is mandatory."

"What? A race war?"

Shen Long furrowed his brows.

The last race war involved only parts of the Human Clan clashing with the Bloodvine Clan. This time, the alliance of the Human Clan and the Fire Fusion Clan versus the Bloodvine and Crystal Clans significantly escalated the scale of the conflict.

"That’s right, besides the three Unity Cultivators, your sect must also send a hundred Void Refinement Cultivators and three thousand Divinity Transformation Cultivators to the battle. Should you achieve significant merit, our Wang Family promises substantial rewards."

Wang Yunlin explained.

"Taoist Friend Wang, why initiate a war so suddenly?"

Shen Long asked curiously.

"I’m not sure myself-I am merely following orders. From the moment you receive this order, your Qianling Sect must arrive in Tianxuan City within two months. Any delay will be severely punished. You must mobilize immediately!"

Wang Yunlin spoke gravely.

"I understand; I will organize our forces immediately and head to Tianxuan City."

Shen Long agreed.

"I have other places to relay orders; I won’t stay any longer. Taoist Friend Shen, I’ll see you in Tianxuan City."

After saying this, Wang Yunlin transformed into a green Escape Light and departed.

"Junior Brother Shen, I’ll go with you!"

He Zixiao spoke up,

"Let’s head to Red Flood Dragon Garden and discuss it with Senior Sister Qin!"

Shen Long said.

He Zixiao had no objections, and he left the reception hall with Shen Long. They arrived at Red Flood Dragon Garden and met Qin Wei smoothly.

"Conscription Order! It seems the Wang Family and the Fire Fusion Clan have big plans, taking the initiative to start a war. This is indeed rare."

Qin Wei frowned as she spoke.

"Senior Sister Qin, let Shen Senior Brother and I go!"

He Zixiao volunteered.

"Your cultivation is too weak. How about this: I, Junior Brother Shen, and Junior Sister Chu will lead the team. You and Senior Brother Qin will stay behind at Qianling Sect. The scale of the war this time is larger than before, and it’s not suitable for you to go."

Qin Wei said.

"Yes! Our strength is stronger. Let us lead the team this time, Senior Brother He."

Shen Long said.

"Alright! Then please be extra careful."

He Zixiao didn’t refuse and agreed.

After discussing for half an hour, Shen Long and He Zixiao bid farewell and left. The orders of Qianling Sect were quickly passed down, conscribing high-rank cultivators from subordinate forces to participate in the war.

...

Bloodvine Mountain Range, a tranquil manor.

Fu Sheng, Teng Xiong, and Xiao Yan sat in a Green Stone Pavilion. Xiao Yue was reporting to them.

"What? The Human Clan and the Fire Fusion Clan have joined forces to attack our Bloodvine Clan’s territory?"

Fu Sheng’s face showed shock.

The Human Clan rarely initiated wars, let alone join forces with the Fire Fusion Clan to start one.

"That’s right, many major cities under our control have been attacked by Human Cultivators, while Fire Fusion Cultivators have attacked many major cities controlled by the Crystal Clan."

Xiao Yue reported.

"I will lead a team to Bloodvine City to deal with the Human Clan."

Xiao Yan volunteered.

"Count me in."

Teng Xiong joined in.

"Alright! You both go to the Bloodvine Clan and command the city’s cultivators to deal with the Human Clan. I’ll send other clan members to support other major cities. Don’t rush to battle with the Human Clan. Send someone to find out the purpose behind the Human Clan’s initiation of the war."

Fu Sheng instructed.

"Yes, Clan Leader."

Xiao Yan and the others agreed in unison.

The Human Clan, Fire Fusion Clan, Crystal Clan, and Bloodvine Clan all mobilized troops and generals, rushing to the frontlines.

...

Tianxuan City, one of the seven major cities at the border of the Human Clan on Green Lotus Continent, was bustling with streams of people and constant traffic.

Qin Wei, Shen Long, Chu Buyu, Su Changfeng, Yuan Rui, and others walked on the spacious streets, attracting the attention of many cultivators.

"The Qianling Sect’s Senior Qin, Senior Shen, and Senior Chu have also come. That’s wonderful."

"I heard Senior Shen destroyed three Unity Cultivators over a thousand years ago. I wonder how many Unity Cultivators he can kill this time."

"There are also many experts mobilized from the Bloodvine Clan. It won’t be easy for Senior Shen to achieve the same results as last time."

...

The cultivators were abuzz with discussions. Shen Long had already become a well-known expert, and the cultivators from the Human Clan were all looking forward to him achieving greater feats.

Before long, they stopped in front of a vast manor whose sign read "Qianling Garden." It served as the lodging for the cultivators of Qianling Sect.

Qin Wei, Shen Long, and others entered, and Li Xin was responsible for arranging accommodations for the cultivators.

Qin Wei, Shen Long, and Chu Buyu seated themselves in a Green Stone Pavilion, sipping tea and chatting casually.

"I heard that before we set out, the Unity Cultivators from the Wang Family had already led teams to attack major cities controlled by the Bloodvine Clan. I wonder how the situation is!"

Shen Long said curiously.

The cultivators from the Wang Family took the lead in attacking the major cities controlled by the Bloodvine Clan, before the Wang Family issued the Conscription Order, calling upon various major forces to participate in the war. The major forces had little to say in response.
