Chapter 1073: Chapter 46: Jiayong Pass
Ci Jing tilted his head back and drank all the remaining wine in the gourd in one go, then threw it heavily on the ground!
The Battle of Poison had ended more than sixty years ago.
All these years, he had been confined in the back mountain of Golden Turtle Peak, practicing day and night.
For the sake of...
One day avenging Lian Venerate!
And now, the ti had finally co!
The Demon Country was invading south, the great war had resud!
Just as Ci Jing was filled with heroic spirit, ready to head north for a battle.
A stream of Sword Qi suddenly shot out, soaring from the small pavilion into the sky.
Xie Xuanyi, controlling the sword, once again crossed the void, leaving the back mountain directly.
"???
Ci Jing was instantly dumbfounded.
He didn’t even have ti to trick Xie Xuanyi into guarding the mountain for him, and the boy ran away!
"!@#￥..."
Ci Jing glared at the fading stream of Sword Qi, so angry he swore.
Is this still human?
This guy surnad Xie is such a bastard!
He could at least say a couple of words, even if just for appearances, couldn’t he?!
He ran off just like that!
"Senior Brother just ran off?!"
Jiang Miaoyin looked at the Sword Qi disappearing on the horizon, stunned for a mont.
Then her expression beca peculiar, and an ominous premonition arose in her Heart Lake.
Ci Jing wanted to grab soone to guard the mountain.
Senior Brother Xuanyi was gone, leaving herself as the next option?
She had just "condensed her Dao"; her realm was not yet solidified, but she could handle a Yin God Realm opponent... Guarding the mountain would make sense.
But the north was already in chaos.
Jiang Miaoyin had no desire to stay in the Sword Palace; she didn’t know what was happening in Qing State or with the Jiang Family.
"Take care, Senior; Miao Yin must take her leave first!"
Saying this, Jiang Miaoyin quickly took advantage of Ci Jing’s lack of reaction, rose with Qi Control, and followed right after Xie Xuanyi.
Though a chronic illness is not as sharp as Chen Ke,
Crossing the void wasn’t much slower.
Jiang Miaoyin didn’t dare to linger for even a mont, heading straight toward Qing State!
"Wait, wait..."
By the ti Ci Jing realized sothing was wrong, the back mountain of Golden Turtle Peak was already empty, restoring its cold and lonely scene.
"I can’t believe this!"
After his initial shock, the Vermilion Bird Demon looked at the broken wine gourd on the ground, arms crossed, so angry he was grinding his teeth, "They’re truly Senior Brother and Sister; they even run away at the sa speed!"
Of course, he also wanted to escape.
Even though Zhao Tongtian wasn’t there...
The guy behind the stone door of Lotus Peak must be "watching" him.
Xie Xuanyi and Jiang Miaoyin were both proud disciples of that old fellow, so they could run if they wanted to.
If he were to run away, he feared a giant hand would descend from Heavenly Peak just as he took off.
Thinking of this.
Ci Jing heaved a long sigh, squatting down sowhat desolately, picking up the fragnts of the wine gourd.

Northern Territory, Jiayong Pass.
More than sixty years ago, the sweeping southern surge of the Demon Country broke through this pass, learning from past mistakes. Now, Jiayong Pass is heavily fortified, personally guarded by the Xu Family’s iron cavalry from Bingzhou. During these decades, while the surface of Great Chu seed peaceful, the internal strife sparked by the Holy Empress consud much of the Northern Territory’s strength.
Even though the Book Tower took asures to patch things up, it still couldn’t reverse the decay quickly.
From the small, we can see the big.
Today, Jiayong Pass is like a dead land; even if the Great Wall Formation operates, it still cannot generate Primordial Energy. The land is barren, difficult for cultivation.
That night.
The beacon fires on Jiayong Pass’s walls continually burned. The Xu Family Master donned iron armor, standing at the city head, gazing into the distance.
"Master."
The female Venerable hurriedly arrived with Qi Control, lowering her voice: "The third wave of Beast Tide is expected to reach north of Jiayong Pass in an hour... Scouts already detected ’demon energy’ just 120 miles away!"
This Northern Border Great Wall is the largest military defense project since the founding of Great Chu, stretching 8,000 miles from east to west with nearly a hundred outposts. However, it doesn’t lie on the "national line." Several hundred years ago, the Northern County of Great Chu bordered the Southern Domain of the Demon Country, with the thousand-mile Snow Mountain as a natural barrier between them. This area is a "natural danger," almost uninhabitable for the mundane. Over the years, Great Chu never built cities or stationed troops here because... Great Chu needed a buffer zone. Establishing a city in such treacherous terrain would scarcely withstand the Beast Tide’s assault. Those awakening Transford Great Demons might not appear on ordinary days, but with so guidance and a bit of Essence Blood given to the "fierce beasts" in the Snow Mountains, they could be elevated to the level of Human Race’s Qi Refining Masters.
For the Demon Country, cultivation is much harder than for the Human Race, but they possess "Bloodline" inheritance!
This was why the last Battle of Poison was so arduous... The Demon Country’s Beast Tide seed endless; any Venerable arriving could quickly illuminate hundreds of Qi Refining Fierce Beasts with Essence Blood Secret Techniques!
These fierce beasts wouldn’t defect!
"120 miles?!"
Xu Qi’s expression beca severe imdiately.
The 300 miles north of Jiayong Pass is all buffer zone. Naturally, the iron cavalry in the city wouldn’t wait till the "troops were at their doorsteps" to barely respond.
Half a year ago.
Jiayong Pass experienced its first Beast Tide impact—
It was truly the heavens’ favor on Great Chu; after the Holy Empress’s fall, the garrison commanders of the Dark Prison Imperial City were gradually reinstated, returning to the Northern County, reinstating the old patrol regulations. Because of this, the first Beast Tide’s gathering was detected in advance. Jiayong Pass’s iron cavalry set an ambush 200 miles away, going through a day and night of fierce sieging, ultimately crushing the wave of barely over a thousand in its cradle, sending a warning signal to the Imperial City. Within three days, Xu Qi arrived to take direct control of Jiayong Pass, followed by a hundred days of peace.
For a hundred days.
The Black Scale Guards’ investigation of the Jiayong Pass Beast Tide concluded.
The condensed Beast Tide was likely orchestrated by a "Yin God Venerable"... not a collaborative southern invasion from the Demon Country.
Just as everyone subconsciously sighed in relief, a massive beast tide burst from the front, crashing down, dealing a severe blow to the Northern Border Great Wall’s western defenses. The buffer zone was compressed by half. Only then did the Northern Territory officials realize that the seemingly accidental Beast Tide at Jiayong Pass a hundred days prior was definitively not a coincidence!
The Demon Country was preparing to recreate the "Battle of Poison" from back then!
The second Beast Tide was extrely violent!
Jiayong Pass suffered a heavy blow during that surprise attack; two Demon Clan Venerables joined forces, nearly shattering the wall formation!
If not for the Book Tower’s prior redeploynt of the Xu Family to guard this pass.
Jiayong Pass might have been breached.
Now this "Beast Tide" is the third southern assault.
This distance of 120 miles is already quite dangerous. Considering the increasingly forceful assaults from the Demon Country...
This third Beast Tide might even feature a Yang God realm expert!
"This Beast Tide is very dangerous."
Xu Qi said gravely, "We must not let our guard down. How has the Book Tower arranged?"
"The closest Yang God to Jiayong Pass is the Palace Master of Qiantian Palace, Yu Wenbo..."
The Yin God woman quickly reported, "He has been notified and will arrive soon."
"Good!"
"Inform the Array Master; it’s ti to consu Primordial Stones, activating all formations set on the ’Iron Wall’ of Jiayong Pass—"
Xu Qi lowered his voice, "Deploy the iron cavalry, archers, follow
out of the pass!"
