A few days remain until Jingzhe.
Sword Sect masters at the Crimson Palace Level have already begun their fasting rituals, aiming to face the demons of Konglan Mountain in their best state.
Scouts are indispensable, as can be seen from Song Yan’s constant busyness.
Initially, there were days when no one ca, but now, wounded keep arriving almost daily.
The spring rain lingers, the path outside the bamboo cabin alternately wet and dry, with many footprints temporarily solidified, so of whom are alive, others perhaps dead after returning to the battlefield.
That day, Song Yan returned from the Profound Field, placing a few new herbs on the bamboo dicine shelf, then quickly moved them inside seeing the rain was about to fall.
A few injured people hurried over from afar, and Song Yan was busy once more.
Once finished, he sat on a rocking chair under the eaves, amidst the creaking sound, gazing at the dim gray sky for a short rest.
He’s been contemplating these past days.
"The Fox and Wolf Races have already entered the arena," "The battle at Konglan Mountain has shifted from one-on-one to four-on-four," "Demon Sect disciples attacking fiercely"..... With so many intertwined elents, how much hidden scheming lies within? What will the final outco be?
He looked at the void, where the Fox and Wolf Races lay in darkness, the Sword Sect and Puppet Sect in scattered disarray...
He slowly gathered the three together, imagining them as three chess pieces.
The chessboard was: Puppet Sect, Konglan Mountain, Misty Sea.
He casually maneuvered the pieces, attempting to find a flaw in the simplest manner.
Suddenly, his pupils constricted.
Through unintentional manipulation in his mind: The Fox and Wolf Races landed at Konglan Mountain, the Puppet Sect fell into the Misty Sea, while the Sword Sect headed to Konglan Mountain...
Song Yan abruptly sat up in surprise.
In the next mont, he saw the Sword Sect elders heading to Konglan Mountain being completely consud by the Fox and Wolf Races; and the Puppet Sect reaching Misty Sea devouring the Sword Sect entirely.
Then the Fox and Wolf Races devoured the Puppet Sect completely.
At this mont, there was no buffer between the Fox and Wolf Races and "him".
The Fox and Wolf Races jumped directly over and consud "him".
The entire process was remarkably smooth.
’No, sothing’s not right... there are issues...’
Song Yan adjusted his thoughts slightly.
The Fox and Wolf Races consud the elders of the Sword Sect at Konglan Mountain, while people like Gu Huangzi from the Puppet Sect feigned attacking the Sword Sect, actually fleeing instead, leaving the Sword Sect and Puppet Sect to resist the Fox and Wolf Races and buy them ti.
But where were Gu Huangzi and the others fleeing to?
Song Yan pondered longly and added "Ancient Teleportation Array" to the locations.
The Ancient Teleportation Array’s matter is secretive, but Grandma Fox knows, and being a veteran overlord like Gu Huangzi across the Three Kingdoms, the probability of knowing is quite high.
However, does he know the Ancient Teleportation Array needs to be repaired?
Song Yan closed his eyes to relax, lying back on the rocking chair.
After a while, he shook his head; there are too many variables, and he cannot think too deeply into chaos anymore.
If he thinks incorrectly on any step there and makes a wrong judgnt based on it, it’s over.
However, the first step must be prevented.
If the Fox and Wolf Races truly await the Sword Sect elders at Konglan Mountain, then the "Crimson Palace aura" without mistake, the elders will inevitably proceed, only to be entirely consud.
’There won’t be any loss due to a wrong judgnt.’
’But it must be guarded against.’
Just one Fox Grandma is enough trouble, Song Yan does not want to face the Fox and Wolf Races directly, nor the Bilanciao Insect Race, hence he doesn’t want to easily discard these buffers.
...
...
While pondering, two rays of light descended from the sky, revealing a pair of elderly figures.
Song Yan quickly returned to his senses, stood up and shouted: "Teacher Kuye! Teacher ng!"
Blade ntor Kuye and Granny ng walked shoulder to shoulder.
Song Yan said: "I’ll go prepare so food."
Blade ntor Kuye hurriedly waved his hand, saying: "Xiuhu, no need, I and your Teacher ng are here to bid you farewell.
We are going to wait near Konglan Mountain, and when sensing the Crimson Palace aura, we will go to the mountain peak with the Grand Elder.
At that ti, the Grand Elder and the five strongest from our Sword Sect will face off against the four Peak Masters of the Puppet Sect."
After speaking, he took out a storage bag from his bosom and threw it over a distance, saying: "Xiuhu, these are so items left for you."
Song Yan accepted, paused in silence, then laughed heartily upward, "Then... the disciple awaits here for the master’s victorious return!"
Blade ntor Kuye laughed heartily upon hearing, and turning to Granny ng said, "ng Sister, I told you that child will not cry and plead for us to stay, see, I was right, wasn’t I?"
Granny ng snorted coldly, "Just like your temperant, I truly thought today we would see a scene asking us to stay."
Blade ntor Kuye laughed, "Though Xiuhu’s small virtues may be lacking, his grand virtues remain intact; this act of dealing with demons and ending calamities would not be blocked by him."
With that, air suddenly fell silent.
Song Yan cupped his fists and bowed: "Teachers, take care."
He harbors so gratitude towards these two elders.
He spent so long in the Puppet Sect without acquiring any decent cultivation techniques, yet these two elders imparted the core cultivation technique of Nanwu Sword Sect, "Profound Sword Scripture," to him completely. There may be so trickery involved, however... the two elders indeed had so genuine sentint for him.
"Take care!"
He emphasized once again.
Granny ng looked at him, a pleased smile appeared, muttering, "This child, values affection deeply."
Blade ntor Kuye had a complicated look, softly saying: "Xiuhu, clarity with the heart of the sword, you’re a good child; no matter the future, do not stray from your path. When faced with indecision, consult the sword within your heart."
