Chapter 1737: Chapter 77: Battle of Heavenly Dome Mountain
Li Changsheng couldn’t help but let out a ’hiss’: "Lord Chen, is this your attitude when asking others for help?"
He then sneered: "I can help you, but you have to beg me! You must earnestly beg. And besides, you can’t expect us to help out for nothing regarding your Western Regions matters."
In the past, the Formless Divine Sect stood alone against the Night Wolf Giant Spirit, single-handedly suppressed the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, and alone held back the demon beasts along the coasts of the You and Ji states, yet Dutian Divine Palace never stepped in to assist.
Even if they occasionally lent a hand, it came with a price.
Chen Nailuo’s fist suddenly clenched tightly, emitting a series of ’crackling’ sounds, Vigorous Force burst out, disturbing the surrounding air.
His eyes flared with boundless anger, seemingly capable of burning through the Cloud Sky, and his silver teeth were gritted almost to the point of breaking.
However, after a moment, Chen Nailuo took a deep breath, struggling to suppress his rage.
He spoke as gently as possible: "Sect Master Li, though the Ten Thousand Cave Mountain is in the Western Regions, once the Daluo Ant Clan breaks free, the disaster will befall the entire Divine Continent Clan. Sect Master Li is an upright hero of remarkable caliber, surely aware of the saying ’when the lips perish, the teeth feel the cold?’
Today, I only ask for the sect master to agree to lend us your sword, and Dutian Divine Palace is willing to undertake three tasks for your sect, as long as it’s within our ability and doesn’t violate righteousness, we will definitely strive to fulfill them. Additionally, our palace can promise not to interfere with the royal succession disputes in the Divine Continent, and we agree to honor Chu Xisheng as the contemporary Human Emperor!"
Chen Nailuo’s gaze was incredibly sincere: "We earnestly ask Sect Master Li to let bygones be bygones and send troops to assist quickly. Both I and everyone in Dutian Divine Palace would be deeply grateful!"
"That’s more like it!"
Li Changsheng smiled lightly: "Upright hero, remarkable caliber, world-class hero~tsk, it’s rare to hear Lord Chen sincerely utter such flattering words. Feel free to say it again, I quite enjoy listening."
Crack!
Chen Nailuo’s back molar was instantly ground to bits, and he clenched his fists tightly once more.
Just as the nerves in Chen Nailuo’s mind were on the verge of breaking, Li Changsheng’s tone shifted: "Our sect’s Blood Vengeance Candidate ’Thousand Martial Divine Machine’ Qin Xiyang has already gone over there. I can’t control Xisheng, but as far as I know, he’s already on his way to Liang State, right now he should——"
Before Li Changsheng could finish speaking, Chen Nailuo directly waved his sleeve, extinguishing the seven-colored bubble.
"Find a way to confirm Chu Xisheng’s location."
Chen Nailuo turned expressionlessly to gaze behind him: "Exert every effort to gather manpower, Dutian Divine Palace doesn’t need to hold back, summon all disciples stationed here. We must hold the Heavenly Dome Mountain line before Chu Xisheng arrives."
The few elders behind him exchanged glances, looking at each other: "Palace Master, holding the Heavenly Dome Mountain is fine, but what if——"
"No what ifs!"
Chen Nailuo’s lips slightly curled up, his smile decisively cold: "The foundation of Dutian Divine Palace lies in the people of the various states in the Western Regions. As long as there are still people on this land, the Dao Tong of Dutian Divine Palace will naturally be inherited and remain undying. But if the people are gone, then even if we hold our mountain, what significance would it have?"
Li Changsheng, this person, however infuriating, detestable, hateful!
Yet the words he spoke, Chen Nailuo still trusted.
※※※※
Seven thousand miles away from Heavenly Dome Mountain is Heavenly Phenomenon Mountain, where fifteen thousand sword cultivators from the Guiyuan Sword Sect are arrayed.
The news from Dutian Divine Palace was slightly delayed; the Guiyuan Sword Sect initially set out with only nine thousand sword cultivators but has been continually dispatching disciples.
Thanks to Chu Yunyun overcoming Yan State, the exiled dominators of the Northwest, the Yuan Yi Clan, are forced to significantly retract their forces, reducing the pressure on Guiyuan Sword Sect in the North, allowing for large-scale dispatch of disciples southward for reinforcement.
Their timing was just right, as the blood-red Daluo Ant Swarm reached the vicinity of Heavenly Phenomenon Mountain, only to be intercepted by the Guiyuan Sword Sect.
At this moment, their battle line has already extended north and south of Heavenly Phenomenon Mountain.
One side aims to bypass and breakthrough, while the other fully blocks, causing the one thousand two hundred miles of North and South to be filled with sharp Geng Metal Sword Qi.
And at this time, on the mountainside of Heavenly Phenomenon Mountain, there is a fresh and extraordinarily handsome young man, quietly observing the sides of the battlefield, muttering: "Suddenly feel our sect’s Sword Dao doesn’t seem very useful. Even the first-in-slaughter ’Ten Thousand Killings No Life Sword’ struggles against these ants."
That is ’Divine Sound Sword Lord’ Ren Zhongshou.
This person once entered the Time Secret Realm with Chu Xisheng in the past, one of the few who returned intact from the secret realm as Outer Sect Super Pillar.
Four years later, Ren Zhongshou also made a name for himself in the Northwest.
Although he didn’t achieve the same worldwide fame as Chu Xisheng, he also attained Fourth Grade Upper cultivation and earned the title of ’Divine Sound Sword Lord.’
"Looks like the Geng Metal Killing Technique still has its limitations—"
Before his voice could fall, someone gave him a heavy slap on the back of the head.
"What nonsense are you saying? The Vengeful Blade Lineage is also Geng Metal Skill, yet it can fight one against ten thousand. Various slaughter techniques have endless potential. Formless Divine Sect merely got lucky, producing a Blood Revenge, and then an Infinite Blade Lord."
It was a white-haired, bushy-bearded old man, blowing his beard and glaring at Ren Zhongshou: "As our sect’s Holy Inheritor Disciple, instead of improving our sect’s Sword Dao to surpass that Blood Revenge, you’re demoralizing in front of this army formation, what kind of behavior is this?"
Ren Zhongshou heard this and awkwardly smiled.
Seeing his comrades around him looking over with surprised looks, he could only act nonchalant and mutter under his breath: "Uncle Master, I ask you to lower your voice, give me some dignity. After all, I’m a leader among the younger generation, it wouldn’t be nice if people see this.
I was just saying, you know I’ve been dedicating great effort to the ’Qiu Niu’ path lately. Isn’t it always being researched and improved?"
