Chapter 657: Changes on the Battlefield
While speaking, he searched his storage ring and finally took out a triangular token.
The token had a shield and spear on the front side, and an etching of the four divine beasts on the back side.
"It’s the border guard’s token." Jiang Yue muttered with a solemn expression.
"It’s not glowing, so the situation is not dire." Yang Xu observed but also had a solemn expression.
"Let’s go." Yu Nianzhen said, and without waiting for the group’s agreement, he activated his token, teleporting everyone to the foreign devils’ battlefield.
Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue had never been to the battlefield.
On first arrival, both frowned and forcibly suppressed the urge to leave.
"The aura..." Jiang Yue muttered, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
"The battlefield is not only connected to the Cangxing world but also to the foreign devils’ world. Because of this, the aura is tainted with devil qi, making it more violent than ordinary aura." Yang Xu explained, and Jiang Yue nodded but still had a solemn expression.
[Azhen, the aura in this place...] He started, and Yu Nianzhen nodded.
[I know. Let’s talk about it after finding out what’s going on.] The swordsman replied.
At this time, a group of six cultivators arrived before them.
"Senior Yu, Senior Jiang, Senior Ao, Senior Xiaolan, Senior Yang, these juniors are guilty of disturbing your peace." The leader, a late-stage nascent soul realm female cultivator, said.
Hearing this, Jiang Yue waved his hand and looked at the six with a serious expression.
"What’s going on?" He asked.
"Seniors, let’s go inside and talk." The female cultivator said, pointing at a five-storey building.
After that, the eleven walked to the building and climbed to the top floor.
"Seniors, my name is Wei Ling, the current leader of the border guard’s faction." The female cultivator said and bowed.
"Mmh." Jiang Yue nodded and continued.
"Your eyebrows and demeanour resemble your ancestor’s. Are you a spear master?" He asked, and Wei Ling nodded.
"I have heard that my great-great-great-great-grandfather, Wei Ge, is also a spear master." Wei Ling said, her chin raised with a hint of pride.
"He is a master of the spear; the best I have ever seen." Jiang Yue praised, and Wei Ling couldn’t help but be happy.
She had grown up hearing about her ancestor Wei Ge and had always wanted to meet the legend.
Hearing an outsider praise her ancestor, she was naturally happy and proud to be a member of the Wei family.
"Your ancestor should be returning soon. You may be able to learn from him if you are lucky." Jiang Yue said, and the six from the border guards’ faction couldn’t help but be excited.
"Will Ancestor Wei be returning soon?" One asked.
"It’s been almost nine thousand years since our generation went to the Reincarnation world. It’s only a matter of time before they return." Jiang Yue confirmed.
"That’s good news." Another border guard said, and the others nodded.
"Did something happen?" Yang Xu asked.
"Seniors, it’s like this..." Wei Ling said and began explaining what had happened.
From her retelling, more and more powerful foreign devils had been able to enter the battlefield because the Cangxing world had been upgraded from a low-level world to a high-grade world.
Fortunately, the way of heaven protected the world and usually suppressed the foreign devils, allowing the border guards to deal with them.
However, the natural order did not allow the way of heaven to unreasonably suppress the foreign devils.
As a result, immortal realm foreign devils could now enter the battlefield without being suppressed, while immortal king realm devils would be suppressed to the immortal realm.
Jiang Yue and the others frowned when they heard this.
"How many immortal realm foreign devils have entered the battlefield?" Yang Xu asked.
"We’ve seen three so far. Fortunately, they haven’t taken action. Otherwise, our army would be destroyed in the blink of an eye." One of the border guards said.
"It’s good that you summoned us." Jiang Yue said.
"There is another thing..." Wei Ling started with a solemn expression.
"What is it?" Yu Nianzhen asked.
"Our spies discovered that the foreign devils have managed to modify our border guard’s token. They can now use them to enter the main world." Wei Ling said, and Yang Xu couldn’t help but turn pale.
"The foreign devils can now enter the main world?" He asked, and Wei Ling nodded.
"They can enter, but it doesn’t seem easy. Also, we have just discovered the situation and don’t know if any foreign devils have already slipped into the main world." She said.
"What’s their motive?" Jiang Yue asked.
"All we know is that they are trying to arrange a formation in the main world." One of the border guards said and quickly continued.
"Unfortunately, we don’t know what kind of formation they are trying to arrange." He said.
"It can’t be a good thing." Xiaolan said, and everyone agreed.
After all, the foreign devils’ world and the Cangxing world had been enemies for countless years.
"We need to get ahead of the situation." Yang Xu said with a thoughtful expression.
A moment later, he turned to Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen and spoke.
"Nianzen, Ayue, why don’t you return to the main world to investigate?" He suggested.
"We will leave Ao Tian and Xiaolan with you." Yu Nianzhen said, and his master didn’t refuse.
After all, he was only a mid-stage immortal realm master while Ao Tian and Xiao Lan were level eight demonic beasts.
With the three of them on the battlefield, Yang Xu was sure that they wouldn’t encounter any problems that they couldn’t solve.
"Can you tell us more about foreign devils?" Jiang Yue asked, looking at Wei Ling.
"Of course." Wei Ling nodded and began.
The most obvious characteristics of the foreign devils were leathery red skin, a long tail, and blonde hair.
Additionally, depending on their cultivation level, foreign devils either had small bumps on their foreheads or horns.
Below the immortal realm, foreign devils had bumps, but the number of bumps also depended on cultivation level.
Origin forging realm devils had one bump, qi transformation realm had two, origin tempering realm had three, core formation realm had four, and nascent soul realm had five.
Similarly, immortal realm devils had one horn, the immortal king realm had two, the immortal emperor realm had three, the saint realm had four, and presumably, God realm devils would have five.
"Are foreign devils good at disguising themselves?" Jiang Yue asked.
After all, based on their characteristics, foreign devils would stick out like a sore thumb if they dared enter the Cangxing world without changing their appearance.
"That’s the thing." Wei Ling said and sighed.
