Chapter 171: Chapter 107 Glad to have you, Xiao Jia_2

With so many powerful figures taking action, there was hardly any risk.

Wu Tong looked at everyone, anger simmering in his heart. His face morphed through an array of expressions, finally saying, "One month from now, assemble in full force at the Castle of No Return!"

Having said that, Wu Tong exited the grand tent.

Not long after, he arrived at a lake.

He took out a small bottle of elixir and poured it into the lake.

The originally crystal-clear lake water instantly turned blood red.

Then, a terrifying projection appeared.

"Greetings, Venerable!" Wu Tong showed a respectful expression to the projection in the lake.

"How goes things in Yuzhou?" the projection slowly asked.

"Venerable, I’ve encountered some trouble.

In the Castle of No Return, there is a strong figure, single-handedly guarding the city. He is suspected to be a disciple of Bai Di," Wu Tong said, his demeanor respectful.

How could Wu Tong not be aware of Misan’s small schemes?

At his position, he naturally saw that Misan did not want to confront the Castle of No Return and left Yuzhou.

Meanwhile, Wu Tong seized the opportunity to come here, obeying the order of the Venerable in front of him.

"A disciple of Bai Di, could it be..." The Venerable began to fear, but immediately suppressed it, "No, Bai Di certainly doesn’t know about this, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been a mere disciple who came, but Bai Di himself."

The Venerable was filled with an unbearable dread towards Bai Di.

After all, Bai Di and the Venerable were the two strongest individuals in this world.

The Venerable would not dare to confront them.

"So, everything was a coincidence." Understanding this, the Venerable’s fear dissipated. "You’re afraid you are not a match for that disciple of Bai Di?"

"Yes, I fear not death, but ruining the Venerable’s plan," Wu Tong replied.

He knew that the Venerable was plotting against both the Castle of No Return and Jialan City.

As for the specific reasons, he did not know and dared not ask.

However, if he could succeed, there would be a tremendous opportunity for him.

The eyes of the Venerable flickered with various expressions.

Suddenly, the water of the entire lake began to churn.

A whirlpool appeared in the center of the lake, and all the water was tumbling into it.

Seeing this scene, Wu Tong was somewhat moved.

He knew that this was the Venerable’s tactic.

About fifteen minutes later, the formerly vast lake disappeared, not a single bit of silt remained on the ground, all was cracked soil.

A pale purple water droplet hovered next to Wu Tong.

The voice of the Venerable came, "Take this. If you’re not a match for Bai Di’s disciple, use it.

This object contains one of my most potent strikes, capable of annihilating any mythical earthly existence in an instant.

Even a Venerable, if they are low-ranked, facing this strike could result in their obliteration.

Bai Di has 3000 disciples, excluding the most core ones,

with this object, you should be able to take over the Castle of No Return."

On hearing this, Wu Tong looked at the pale purple water droplet, filled with excitement.

"Thank you, Venerable, I will certainly help the Venerable take over the Castle of No Return!"

Taking over the Castle of No Return was only the first step.

He also needed the Venerable to find what he was seeking.

Meanwhile, in a deep abyss in the North.

A man was fully enveloped in a purple hue.

In front of him was an ancient, profound stone tablet.

He had obtained this stone tablet three thousand years ago.

In the time since, through continuous research, he had finally deciphered the secrets within that recorded a hidden tale from the Ancient Times.

"The Castle of No Return... the burial place of the demoness, the source of all maledictions; if I can get it..."

The man in the purple robe had a greedy look in his eyes.

If he could get it, then what would this Venerable and Bai Di amount to?

"Unfortunately, I can’t go there myself now, or it would surely attract attention..."

The man in the purple robe was very powerful, one of the top figures in the North.

Thus, his actions were sure to attract attention from all sides.

If he went to the Castle of No Return, he would likely reveal his intentions.

So, he could only depend on Wu Tong, that small pawn, to find the source of the malediction for him before he could go.

"It’s easy to handle the Castle of No Return... but... what about the demon’s place of demonization?" The man in the purple robe was somewhat hesitant.

That place also held enormous opportunity, not inferior to the Castle of No Return.

But evidently, it’s even harder to conquer than the City of No Return.

He had to think of a way to take it.

...

Jialan city, covered in dark clouds, felt heavy.

Dong Long, the commander in charge, showed a determined look on his face after hearing the report from his subordinates. He said, "Wu Tong is about to lead all the armies to besiege the City of No Return, how do you all see this?

The faces of the state protectors present were quite grim. "Wu Tong, compared to Misan, is tougher and more powerful. If the City of No Return falls, our Jialan city... I’m afraid."

The people present were quite worried.

Despite Misan’s power, his attacks on Jialan city were lackluster, clearly because he didn’t want to risk his life.

Wu Tong, on the other hand, seemed quite aggressive.

"Wentai, what do you think?" asked Dong Long, looking at the Liu siblings.

Liu Wentai and Liu Wenmei had seen Qi Yuan before.

"The City of No Return’s Commander is incredibly powerful... even close to... a Land Myth," said Liu Wentai, filled with awe at the thought of Qi Yuan’s stunning sword skill.

"A Land Myth is powerful, but the number of state protectors that Wu Tong has brought this time might be in the hundreds.

Adding to that, the infinite demon army, even a Land Myth would be overwhelmed, so my suggestion is to invite the commander of the City of No Return to our Jialan city."

Upon hearing this, Dong Long nodded: "If he is willing to come to Jialan city, I would even willingly give up my position as the commander."

Hearing this, Liu Wentai hurriedly said, "Gentlemen, the commander of the City of No Return would definitely not come to Jialan city!"

He thought of Qi Yuan’s single stroke of the sword, which clearly stated his stance.

Liu Wentai felt that the commander was getting a bit annoyed with him constantly persuading Qi Yuan to leave.

"Such arrogance!" an elder said, "Does he think he can do whatever he wants just because he is a Land Myth?"

Then, a heavy voice said, "Indeed, a Land Myth can do whatever he wants. If what Liu Wentai said is true, having that commander in Jialan city might become a burden for us.

In the face of Wu Tong’s siege, with that strong one’s power, if he can’t win and wants to leave, could Wu Tong stop him?

We’re better off worrying about how to protect ourselves in Jialan city after that strong one leaves rather than worrying about the City of No Return."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

It’s a fact that the City of No Return wouldn’t hold.

And the commander of the City of No Return would definitely leave.

And they, would have to face Wu Tong’s army.

The pressure they’re under is far greater than before.

Commander Dong Long of Jialan city stood on the city walls, gazing into the distance, his eyes deep: "I hope... that Land Myth can deal a heavy blow to Wu Tong’s army before he leaves."

That way, Wu Tong wouldn’t be able to organize his army to reach Jialan city so quickly, and Jialan city would have enough time to prepare.

"Liu Wentai, Zhao Ju, you take some people and keep watch on the City of No Return from a distance.

Report any news from the City of No Return back to Jialan at once!" instructed Dong Long.

What he wanted to know was not the news from the City of No Return, but the news of Wu Tong’s army.

The fate of the City of No Return has been sealed.

He wanted to know the extent of Wu Tong’s army’s damage after the fall of the City of No Return.

"Yes sir!" Liu Wentai and Zhao Ju accepted the order.

...

A month passed in a blink of an eye.

Liu Wentai and Zhao Ju hid in the vast desert, concealing their figures.

Behind them, over a dozen cultivators were also hiding their figures.

They were the guerrilla reconnaissance soldiers of Jialan city, specializing in stealth and speed.

Zhao Ju hid in the sand with a smile on his face: "That commander of the City of No Return sure knows how to show off... he’s cool.

If it were me, I’d run away the moment I saw Wu Tong’s army.

But he, he sat on the city wall alone, calm in the face of a massive army. He’s putting on a brave front, but it’s pretty cool!"

"Is there a chance that the commander is truly unafraid?" Liu Wentai recalled Qi Yuan.

The commander is not as Zhao Ju described.

"Rest assured, when Wu Tong’s army arrives, he will surely strike once and then run away!" Zhao Ju was full of confidence.

If he had that level of power, he would definitely imitate that commander.

It is indeed dishonorable not to fight honorably, but he’s still cool.

Liu Wentai gave Zhao Ju a scornful look: "Don’t judge a gentleman by the standards of a petty man."

Zhao Ju shrugged: "When I judge people, I never care about their thoughts, only their actions.

If he stays in the City of No Return, damaging Wu Tong’s army, I’ll admire him.

Although I say he’s showing off, he really is handsome. The only regret is, the City of No Return is going to fall."

Zhao Ju’s words carried a hint of regret.
