Chapter 162: 109, 110, Turmoil like fire, Song Cheng leads troops (Big Chapter - Request for subscription)_3

Song Cheng said, "Thank you for trusting me, senior brother."

He actually had no desire to lead troops; it’s just that the current situation seemed grim.

Since leading troops could strengthen his power, then... he might as well take a force of elite soldiers into his hands.

...

...

That night, the Red Tiger Camp and the White Leopard Camp received the news.

The generals of both camps had long heard of the "Northern Region Blade King."

However, that was just a martial artist.

No matter how powerful a martial artist is, in the face of the ever-changing battlefield, there’s always a possibility of death...

The larger the scale of the battlefield, the smaller the role of a martial artist.

"Greetings, Blade King," said the general of the Red Tiger Camp respectfully.

"Greetings, Uncle Master," said the general of the White Leopard Camp, being a disciple of the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, thus addressing him as Uncle Master.

Song Cheng had come with Zhao Hua.

He was leading, with Zhao Hua following behind.

At this moment, he glanced over the soldiers of the two camps.

The numbers flowed like water, murmuring and shifting.

The number of soldiers in both camps was almost the same, around 1,500 each.

The soldiers of Red Tiger Camp, when armed, had stats generally ranging from 10 to 15.

White Leopard Camp’s were 9 to 16.

Roughly the same.

The Military Momentum occasionally showed figures in the low hundreds, but the frequency was very low, virtually appearing and disappearing in an instant.

And the stats of the two camps did not intermingle, clearly indicating that the Military Momentum had not yet merged.

Both generals did not know what Song Cheng was looking at, but neither dared to ask.

After a long while, Song Cheng said, "Practice on the training field tomorrow."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

...

...

After inspecting the troops, Song Cheng did not immediately return to the An Residence. Instead, he and Zhao Hua found a tavern, ordered some wine, and started chatting.

"Hua, how have you been since you got the Medicinal Human formula?" he asked.

"There are some problems..." Zhao Hua sighed, then honestly said, "When I was researching the principle of the Medicinal Human formula, I discovered that the core element is actually the hair from a Fox Immortal.

I also tested the loyalty of the Medicinal Humans and found them to be absolutely loyal, except... in two scenarios.

Big brother, don’t get mad...

I was just trying it out."

"Go ahead," said Song Cheng casually, clinking his cup with Hua’s.

Hua had a good feeling towards him of 100, so naturally, he trusted him.

Zhao Hua said, "The first scenario is when I give them orders like killing Lady Zhushan or Ling, they will refuse.

The second, when I command them to attack Fox Immortal Su, they vehemently reject.

This indicates that the Medicinal Humans’ loyalty has a hierarchy.

Their true allegiance lies with the owner of the core element in the Medicinal Human formula.

I can control them only because that person has granted me the authority.

Also, last time big brother, you mentioned someone used Supernatural Elements to create Medicinal Humans above the Qi Realm, from this... I surmise that those Medicinal Humans are actually under the control of evil spirits and the Contemplators of the evil spirits."

He was talking about Su Houzhang.

Su Houzhang brought four Medicinal Humans above the Qi Realm, and after those Medicinal Humans died, traces of grave soil and paraffin appeared in their bodies, hence Song Cheng’s speculation.

Now, with Zhao Hua’s experiment, it furthered his understanding of the connection.

The Medicinal Humans above the Qi Realm couldn’t be used by someone else, because Su Houzhang was a "Contemplator of the evil spirit" and carried the power of the evil spirit, which is why he could control them.

He pondered.

That raised a question...

He... seemed to be a "Contemplator of the evil spirit" as well.

...

...

In order to ensure safety at home, Song Cheng indeed got busy.

He reported to the military camps and discussed the Medicinal Humans with Hua; by the time he returned home, it was before dawn.

Sister An, Ling, and Ying were already asleep.

Madam Tong was also at the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple.

He scanned a few doors, then headed for Ying’s room.

In a groggy state, Ying awoke to see her son-in-law and snuggled up to him, eager for a duel.

For a moment, the Jingu Bang pounded the Bottomless Pit, golden light burst forth, and they both exchanged moves.

Ying, the heroine, predictably suffered a major defeat...

In her drowsy state, she said softly, "Son-in-law, Miss doesn’t go outdoors and Ling keeps her company. I want to follow you... You are very strong, son-in-law, and I want to learn from you at all times."

Without comparisons, there is no harm done, Ying was quite self-conscious.

Now, among the people around Song Cheng, Miss An and Madam Tong need not be mentioned, even Ling had become the host for Fox Immortal Su, her beauty transforming into a nation-toppling beauty, and like Lady Zhushan, she could now employ the Fox Dance.

One could say, Madam Tong plus Ling, they together are the real Taoist Temple Master of Pearl Mountain.

But what about her?

She was still stuck at Force Realm Perfection, just a hair away from breaking through to Form Realm, her abilities barely comparable to a Form Realm Medicinal Human.

Song Cheng looked at the beauty in his arms.

Indeed, her skin was snow-white, her nose lovely, her lips tightly closed, setting off her frosty, fair complexion, quite valiant.

In the Martial Arts World, she was still regarded as a chivalrous heroine, formerly known as the "Willow Leaf Blade."

The hallmark of a heroine was the solid foundation in martial arts, with notably tense and powerful legs, and a body full of vitality.

However, what was known as a solid foundation in martial arts was not much in Song Cheng’s eyes anymore.

Yet, Ying had a heart that sought after the Martial Path.

Madam Tong also practiced martial arts, but her heart was not in "pursuing the Martial Path"; she was too invested in the well-being of the people. For this... she even moved to Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple to concoct medicines and treat illnesses daily, turning the position of "Taoist Temple Master" into a job akin to a "hardworking, selfless ox."

Her improvement initially involved her own efforts, but now it depended entirely on resources and the foundation laid by Song Cheng.

As for Sister An and Ling... they were even less concerned about the Martial Path.

Sister An was focused on elevating the status of the An Family, as well as him and their unborn child.

As for Ling... her passion was indulging in food, drink, and the joys of life, being complacent, wielding borrowed power, and bullying.
