Chapter 191

The disciple said respectfully, "The supervisor of the camp invites you over." Guo Shier asked curiously, "How did he know I was coming?" He had just arrived at the third camp of Donghuan and had not informed the supervisor of the camp yet.

"Nan Ya's first elder sent a message."

Guo Shier said, "Lead the way, Nan Feng and the rest of you follow."

The group of seven, including Guo Shier, made a total of eight people. They followed the disciple and quickly arrived at a stone building. The disciple said, "This is the management of Camp 3. There are three clan elders guarding it, but they don't live here. Instead, they live in the courtyards of the camp."

As soon as they stepped through the door, Guo Shier saw Nan Ya standing there with a group of Great Saint Masters around him. Nan Ya also saw Guo Shier come in and quickly said a few words. He then brought a few Great Saint Masters to greet him, "Clan elder, the temporary camp has been destroyed. I've already reported this to the clan …"

Guo Shier smiled, "This place should be safe, the Gu Jin clan won't destroy this place as well …"

Nan Ya said, "The clan will send reinforcements soon. I'll stay at Camp 3 for now, just in case the Gu Jin clan attacks." He sighed and said, "Ai, I think we'll start a war with the Gu Jin clan soon. Who knows how many disciples will die … it's been peaceful for a long time, it's finally time for war."

Guo Shier asked, "You've been preparing for a long time?"

Nan Ya nodded, "Yes, we've been preparing for war since the year before last, but it's been dragging on until now."

Guo Shier shook his head, "I didn't think it would be so soon …" He then asked, "First elder, when do you think the war will reach here?"

Nan Ya shook his head, "It should be a while, I can't be sure, but … it's not safe to go out right now."

Nan Feng brought his team members forward and bowed, "Disciple greets the first elder." Even though he was an elder of the clan, he still had to bow to the experts of the Illusionary Altar.

Nan Ya looked at Nan Feng's team strangely and nodded, "Yes, good."

Guo Shier smiled, "I plan to stay with Nan Feng's team for a while. Ah, I count as a member of Nan Feng's team."

Nan Ya smiled bitterly to himself, "You're an Illusionary Altar expert and a guest elder of the clan, aren't you just asking for trouble by hanging out with a bunch of low levelled disciples?" However, his position was not as high as Guo Shier, so he didn't dare to question Guo Shier's actions. He smiled, "Hehe, it is the honor of Nan Feng's team."

Nan Feng replied, "Elder is too polite."

Nan Ya slapped his forehead, "Oh, that's right. Allow me to introduce you, this is the overseer of camp 3, a Peak Great Saint Master, Nan Li.

Nan Li's appearance was that of a middle-aged man. His body was thin and weak, which was rare among professionals. He had a square face, deep cheeks, a protruding forehead, and a slender neck. He wore a long black robe and looked very clean and refreshing. He smiled and bowed, "Clan Elder, I am Nan Li, hehe."

Guo Shier nodded, "Nan Li, what business do you have with me?"

Nan Li said with a straight face, "Lord Clan Elder, our camp has a total of four Great Elders guarding it. I hope that Lord Clan Elder can also help our camp and temporarily stay here."

Guo Shier smiled, "Four grand elders is quite a lot. Ah, I'll be leaving with Nan Feng's team soon. Camp … give me a communication talisman. If there's anything, just send me a message. If I'm nearby, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Nan Li was overjoyed, "Yes, elder." He took out a talisman and handed it to Guo Shier respectfully, "Elder, do you have a place to stay? I can arrange it in the camp. "

Guo Shier raised his hand to stop him, "We'll be leaving soon, there's no need to arrange anything for now. I'll find you when I return."

Nan Li replied, "Yes."

Guo Shier then bid farewell to Nan Ya.

Nan Ya and Nan Li walked Guo Shier to the door and said their goodbyes. Guo Shier then asked, "Nan Feng, where are you going?"

In fact, Nan Feng didn't want to go out, but he couldn't refuse Guo Shier's request. He hesitated for a bit and said, "We're going to search around the camp to see if there are any low level mutated rune beasts. Haha, the main thing is for Nan Bao to gain some experience. He's too inexperienced in the wild."

Guo Shier's interest immediately dropped. He frowned and asked, "Just this mission?"

Nan Feng was uneasy, "Yes, elder."

Guo Shier thought for a moment and said, "If that's the case, I'll go alone. You guys will be safe around the camp. I'll go to the center of the prairie to have some fun."

Nan Feng secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The longer he stayed by Guo Shier's side, the more pressure he felt. Moreover, the current situation wasn't optimistic. He didn't want to take risks, especially when he was bringing low level disciples. He said, "Yes, elder."

The other team members didn't dare to say anything else. After Guo Shier left, Nan Xiaotong asked, "Nan Feng, why are you doing this?"

Nan Feng smiled bitterly. "We're too weak. We'll affect the elder's movements."

Nan Xiaotong asked, "Are we not going to do the original mission?" Nan Feng had only explained half of the mission. Nan Bao's training was just a side mission. Their main mission wasn't this.

Nan Feng said, "We can only give up on the original mission. Didn't you hear that we've already started a war with the Gu Jin clan? We'll go back while it's still safe. I'd rather not do the mission than be in danger. "He was a very steady person and knew the dangers of the outside world. The reason why he was able to survive until now and become a Peak Great Saint Master was because of his cautiousness.

He then said, "I can't let the team take risks just to curry favor with the elder." His voice was very low. The team members' expressions softened. After all, Nan Feng was only thinking about the team's safety.

Nan Zhao asked, "Then we'll go back to the headquarters?"

Nan Feng said, "We'll stay here for a few days. We're not in a hurry to make a move. We'll observe the situation. If there's no war, then we'll make a decision. If there's a large scale war, then we'll return to the headquarters as soon as possible and send Nan Bao and the others back."

The team members all expressed their approval of the captain's cautiousness. No one was willing to throw away their lives. Once the war began, they, the middle and low level disciples, would be unable to control their own fates. If they returned to the headquarters, then it would be much safer. As a result, everyone agreed and followed Nan Feng to find a camp.

Guo Shier arrived outside the camp. It was currently noon, but the weather was very gloomy. Thick black clouds pressed down extremely low, and several vulture-like birds circled in the sky, letting out mournful cries.

There were still many teams of the Gu Nan clan disciples that went out. The majority of them entered the Eastern Plains, while a few entered the Eastern Swamp and the Beast Fighting Mountain Range.

Guo Shier flew toward the plains. He did not fly high into the sky, but instead flew close to the ground. This was a habit he had developed. After staying in the wilderness for a long time, he knew that there were too many dangers, and it was always right to be careful. Even if he advanced to the height of a material sacrificial altar, he still had to maintain a trace of vigilance.

He felt slightly unaccustomed to the absence of Falconer and Luo Zhan by his side, and he kept having the feeling that something was missing. He only reacted to it after a long time, and he couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

Three days later, Guo Shier arrived at the depths of the Eastern Plains.

The plains stretched as far as the eye could see, and there was no end to it in all directions. Guo Shier descended onto the plains and looked at the surroundings in a daze. The weeds were dense, and as a light breeze blew past, he could see the backs of numerous animals. Those were the local herbivores, and they formed groups as they wandered in the deep underbrush. The sky grew even gloomier, and an oppressive feeling pressed down on his heart.

There was a hill not far away, and Guo Shier ascended the hill in a few steps. He noticed that he was different from before. This sort of speed was practically comparable to teleportation, but his figure didn't vanish. He looked to be extremely slow, yet he was actually extremely swift.

The hill was also overgrown with weeds. Guo Shier stood on it and raised his head to look at the sky. There were faint flashes of lightning, and the muffled sound of thunder resounded from afar. Suddenly, a gust of strong wind blew past, and the moist air made him feel extremely comfortable. He knew that a storm was about to fall.

Kacha … Boom!

Guo Shier couldn't help but shrink his neck. The sound of thunder was extremely shocking, and the tremors seemed to go straight into the bottom of his heart, causing even his soul to tremble slightly.

Pa! Pa! Pa …

Drops of rain that were the size of broad beans descended sparsely, and a wave of the fishy smell of green grass assaulted his face. The raindrops became more and more concentrated, and after a short moment, a storm poured down like a torrent. The sound of crashing filled the air, and his field of vision was covered in a vast expanse of whiteness. The violent wind whistled, sweeping up a large expanse of white raindrops that swept across the ground. The weeds rustled and swayed, and the sky seemed as if it was about to collapse.

Guo Shier's entire body was drenched. He didn't use any talismans to prevent the rain, and instead allowed the rain to pour onto his body. That refreshing feeling allowed his mood to be at ease. He couldn't help but sigh. "What a heavy rain!"

He took out the sacrificial altar and floated up. A faint golden light rose up from the sacrificial altar, blocking the heavy rain outside. Guo Shier slightly shivered, and a thick white mist suddenly emerged from his body. After a short moment, his body felt refreshed. He sat down cross-legged. A Handsome Old Man popped his head out, and asked curiously, "Kid, what are you doing?"

Guo Shier said, "Looking at the scenery."

A Handsome Old Man's head spun around, and after a long while, he said, "What's there to look at? It's a vast expanse of whiteness, and I can't see anything."

Guo Shier said, "I'm just feeling the atmosphere."

A Handsome Old Man was puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"

Guo Shier choked on his words, and couldn't say a word. He waved his hand and said, "I can't tell you …"

A Handsome Old Man laughed. He liked to make fun of Guo Shier, and he felt very happy. He said, "Kid, I've helped you reinforce the Crescent Blade. Hehe, it's a natural gold talisman. It's very difficult to duplicate this talisman, but your luck is not bad. I've found some good materials, and they're all broken down from sacrificial artifacts."

Guo Shier was pleasantly surprised. "Ah, that's great. That means, my Crescent Blade has three attributes?"

A Handsome Old Man scolded him without a trace of politeness. "Idiot, the gold attribute is the basic attribute of sacrificial artifacts. Normally, it's not counted as an attribute. The Crescent Blade only has two attributes, one is fire, and the other is lightning. Hey, can't you focus on learning the inheritance … you don't have any knowledge at all."
