I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 428: Chapter 312: Post-War Harvest_2

After arranging for Bao Qiyuan to leave, Lian Chenghai returned to consult with the Divine Wood Sect on the next course of action.

When Fu Huakun made his move, it was Lian Chenghai who was controlling the Array Plate and repairing the Large Formation.

Before the two sects engaged in a war, he was the one presiding over the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array, so he was very familiar with it.

“Thanks to Junior Brother Chen’s sword light deterrence, after this battle, Mountain Shaker Peak would certainly not dare to come over,” said Fu Huakun, prompting expressions of relief from the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

All of them looked at Chen Mobai in astonishment. He simply shook his head modestly, implying that the victory was due to everyone’s joint effort.

“No wonder the Sect Leader was a bit reluctant when I said I wanted to bring you out,” Chu Zuoshu said, recalling the moment before they had left Shenmu Hall.

He had noticed the communication between Chen Mobai and Meng Hong, initially assuming the Sect Leader had given them some secret assignment, but now he understood Meng Hong’s regretful expression.

It seemed like a bit of a waste to use this unparalleled Divine Sword on the battlefield.

However, if it weren’t for Chen Mobai, Rolling Thunder Mountain might have knocked a few teeth out from Mountain Shaker Peak, but they would’ve likely suffered heavy casualties.

Moreover, being able to kill Ji Dao Yuan and Mu Hanxiong, the future and present of Mountain Shaker Peak, was already a significant gain.

“We still need to be careful of any additional support from Mountain Shaker Peak, Ji Dao Yuan and Mu Hanxiong’s deaths here wouldn’t be taken lightly by Ji Zhenshi,” said Yue Zutao, who was the most calm among them and raised the worst possibility.

After all, Mountain Shaker Peak’s stronghold is right across the Rock Country. With Mu Hanxiong, one of the nine Peak Masters dead but with six Foundation Establishment Cultivators remaining, they could not hold their ground even with the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array if Mountain Shaker Peak roused the forces of two countries under it.

“The sect’s main forces will arrive in two days, but given Junior Brother Chen’s astonishing swordsmanship talent, I fear Mountain Shaker Peak will spare no effort to stop him,” Yue Zutao said worriedly. If he were Ji Zhenshi, he would certainly do so upon hearing that the Divine Wood Sect had a prodigy who had practiced Sword Rainbow Fission in the early foundation stage.

“If Mountain Shaker Peak acts on this, they might lose half of the sect’s power.”

Chu Zuoshu laughed, then delivered some good news.

“Quan Shanlin has already led twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators from our sect here in advance, they will likely arrive tonight.”

Qi Practitioners can’t fly, so they rely on the sect’s Flying Boat or Floating Airship for transport, but Foundation Establishment Cultivators are different. Even at the expense of Spiritual Power and Magic Artifact, it only takes four to five days to get here from Giant Tree Ridge.

Of the Divine Wood Sect, it’s Penalty Evil Hall that goes to war.

But it was necessary for Quan Shanlin to wait for the Sect Leader’s order to gather Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Due to the preparation of Legal Treasures, talismans, and arrangements of aftermath prior to battle, it took three days to prepare before setting off.

Fortunately, Mountain Shaker Peak was also unprepared, enabling Chu Zuoshu to stall until this day.

“Junior Brother Chen, the mirror you used to kill Mu Hanxiong doesn’t seem to be a regular Rank-2 Magic Artifact.”

That night, while Chu Zuoshu and others were secretly welcoming Quan Shanlin and other sect cultivators, Chen Mobai and Yue Zutao were drinking tea. Suddenly, the latter posed a question.

“Right, it’s the Rank-3 Six Yang Divine Fire Mirror.”

After hearing this, Yue Zutao sighed in relief, then proceeded to say earnestly.

“Junior Brother Chen, Rank-3 Magic Artifacts are extraordinarily precious. Only the two elders and the Sect Leader in our sect own them. It’s better not to reveal them when you’re alone outside.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Brother Yue. I used it today because it was a matter of life and death, and I felt safe amongst my fellow brothers.”

Earlier, while discussing strategies, Chen Mobai sensed that everyone’s gazes were often on him. Even Chu Zuoshu seemed to want to speak but ended up keeping silent. He probably wanted to inquire about the Rank-3 Magic Artifact, but it was considered a taboo in the Tianhe Realm to probe others’ Magic Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques, even among fellow sect members.

It took a lot of determination for Yue Zutao to bring it up. It also meant that since Chen Mobai had saved him today, he now regarded him as a true friend.

“After the conflict on Rolling Thunder Mountain, Junior Brother Chen’s reputation will probably echo throughout the Eastern Wilderness. However, once the battle is over, Master will succeed the Sect Leader, so it’s better for you to focus on practicing and raising your Realm in the sect. If you form the Core, our Divine Wood Sect will be truly secure. It might even return to the Five Elements Sect and dominate the Eastern Wilderness.”

In Yue Zutao’s words, a lot of information was revealed.

“If I could, I’d love to keep practicing my swordsmanship and drinking wine in Xiao Nanshan. Unfortunately, Elder Brother Yuan was the one who brought me into the sect. If he’s in trouble and I don’t come, I won’t feel at peace.”

What Chen Mobai said was from the bottom of his heart. His bond with the Divine Wood Sect was due not just to his disciples but also to E Yun, Yuan Chiye, and even Sect Leader Meng Hong treating him sincerely.

Given Yuan Chiye’s unknown fate, he couldn’t just sit idly in Xiao Nanshan.

“Fortune smiles upon the blessed. By the way, Junior Brother Chen, you killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators, did you get a great haul?”

Yue Zutao swiftly changed the topic to lift the mood by bringing up some good news.
