In a large hall in the Clear River Sect, a mountain range outside the Chen Nation:
There were twenty-odd people in the hall, clearly divided into three factions.
The group on the left frowned as they looked at a large map in the center of the hall. The leader was a middle-aged man in azure robes. Frustration flashed in his eyes.
The group on the right wore white robes. At this moment, they appeared extremely happy. The middle-aged man leading the group suddenly laughed and said, "Clear River Sect Master, it looks like you have lost this battle. The Chen Nation has lost three passes and cannot even withstand a single strike. Hahahahaha! "
The group of people in white robes laughed along with him.
However, the group of azure-clad people glared at each other. The leader, the Clear River Sect Master, clenched his fist and said, "First Song Sect Master, this is not the end yet. Are you so sure that the Chen Nation will lose?"
The white-clad First Song Sect Master smiled coldly and said, "What's wrong? The Song Nation's military strength was already marked on this map. Right now, the Song Nation was united and unstoppable. Gao Xianzhi had even killed six hundred thousand Chen Nation soldiers, leaving only one hundred thousand soldiers at Hulao Pass. Even if an ordinary general led an army, there would be no suspense. Furthermore, Gao Xianzhi's leadership was so exquisite. You should stop resisting and surrender as soon as possible! "
"You!" The Clear River Sect Master glared.
No matter how stupid the others were, they could tell that the Chen Nation would be destroyed in this battle.
However, the Clear River Sect Master was unwilling to accept this. It was not that the Clear River Sect Master lost a nation. Instead, there was an extremely important character standing beside him. The Clear River Sect Master had been paying attention to the battlefield. He lost so miserably before this person, leaving an impression of incompetence in this major character's heart. How could the Clear River Sect Master not feel frustrated?
As the two Sect Masters bickered, they were actually paying attention to the other five people.
Although this place was the Clear River Sect, these five people stood at the north of the main seat.
The leader was a black-clad young woman dressed in men's clothes.
This young woman's legs were extremely slender and looked firm and strong, looking very pretty. Her figure was well-proportioned, revealing her slender, snow-white neck. Her black clothes made her look even more dazzling and eye-catching. She combed her hair into a man's bun. However, when a strand of hair fell to the side of her face, it added to her charm. Although she was dressed like a man, it was difficult to conceal her peerless beauty. In fact, because she was dressed like a man, it made her even more alluring.
The disciples of the two sects looked at the young girl with envy in their eyes. However, they knew the young girl's identity and immediately suppressed the throbbing in their hearts.
The girl held a folding fan in her hand and looked at the huge map in front of her. There were various markings on the map, describing the battlefields of the Song Nation and the Chen Nation in detail.
Behind the girl stood four people. Three of them were expressionless, like guards. They didn't say a word. Only one of them was special. He was a bald monk. He wore a moon-white monk robe. He stood there, exuding an otherworldly aura. His face was very elegant and handsome. He held a string of eighteen small prayer beads in one hand. He looked at the map with the girl.
"Venerable Liu Nian, what do you think of this battle?" the young woman asked with a smile as she looked at the map and patted her folding fan against her other palm.
"Hall Master, just because you wanted to see a battle of the mundane world, you ended up causing such a massacre. Six hundred thousand soldiers were all killed. May the Buddha live forever!" the bald monk chanted a Buddhist mantra as though he was sighing for the soldiers that died.
"Venerable, I heard that before you became a monk, you killed many more people than this. Furthermore, I did not cause this massacre. They killed each other on their own accord. I have the cause, but it is not the effect, "the young woman said while shaking her head.
Venerable Liu Nian smiled bitterly and said, "The past is like smoke."
"My grandfather once told me that I should watch a battle of the mundane world if I have the chance. Although they do not have much strength, they sometimes contain boundless wisdom. This battle is very interesting. Venerable, what do you think? "the young woman asked with a smile.
Venerable Liu Nian looked at the map and nodded. "That Chen Taiji is indeed pretty good. To think that he could control such a huge battle so freely. Even in our world, he would be considered a pretty good general. He fought steadily and stably. Originally, the Chen Nation should have defeated the Song Nation one-sidedly. Unexpectedly, the Song Nation produced a Gao Xianzhi."
The young woman nodded and said, "That's right. This Gao Xianzhi is indeed incredible."
"Gao Xianzhi is known as the Song Nation's War God. He lives up to his name. He is even better at leading troops than Chen Taiji. He uses proper coordination and surprise to win. In just a few short months, he came up with many schemes, using troops like a god helping him. His ability to predict is extraordinary. Furthermore, he took a few risks and obtained startling results, defeating Chen Taiji. Unexpectedly, it was a psychological battle. In the end, he even created a diversion, breaking through three obstacles in a row. How incredible! "
"This Gao Xianzhi is indeed somewhat interesting. What do you think of this Gao Xianzhi's level?" the young woman asked as she looked at Venerable Liu Nian.
"Hall Master is very intelligent. I believe you already have an idea. Why ask me?" Venerable Liu Nian smiled.
"Although he does not have many magic techniques, every time he uses troops, it is like an expert exchanging moves. He is incredibly exquisite, worthy of a general!" the young woman said with a solemn expression.
"I agree with Hall Master!" Venerable Liu Nian nodded.
"It looks like this trip is not without harvest. At the very least, we met a talent!" the young woman said with a satisfied smile.
However, the young woman's praise made the First Song Sect Master raise his eyebrows.
"Hall Master, that Gao Xianzhi is just an ordinary person! He is only in the Acquired Realm! "the First Song Sect Master said anxiously.
The young woman glanced at the First Song Sect Master indifferently and said, "There is no need to worry. He is not on your list."
Upon hearing the young woman's words, the First Song Sect Master immediately showed joy on his face. "Hall Master is wise!"
What the young woman valued was talent, not cultivation. Cultivation could be slowly improved, but there was a limit to how much one could improve one's intelligence. How could the young woman let such a talent be covered in dust?
"Venerable Liu Nian, do you think that the Chen Nation can still retaliate?" the young woman asked as she looked at the map.
Venerable Liu Nian remained silent for a while before shaking his head slightly. "Without the participation of the sects or other nations, the Chen Nation is already at the end of its road. After three passes are lost, it will be a smooth journey. The Song Nation is of one mind, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will gather outside Hulao Pass. Although Hulao Pass has one hundred thousand soldiers, it has never seen blood. This time, not to mention resisting, it would already be good if they did not surrender. Furthermore, the news that came earlier said that Chen Taiji was severely injured, and his heart was injured. Even though he has the will, he does not have the strength. In another half a month, Gao Xianzhi will arrive at the city, and the Chen Nation will become history."
Venerable Liu Nian's theory made the First Song Sect Master rejoice. However, the Clear River Sect Master showed a sullen expression.
The young woman nodded as well. The Chen Nation could no longer turn the situation around.
"Sect Master!" Suddenly, an anxious cry came from outside the hall.
Whoosh!
It was Chen Tianshan, who rushed back from the Gu Residence.
"Tianshan?" The Clear River Sect Master's face sank.
This time, the Clear River Sect Master sent Chen Tianshan to the Chen Nation so that he could help the Chen Nation in secret. Unexpectedly, the Chen Nation still lost. When the Clear River Sect Master saw Chen Tianshan, he showed some frustration.
The moment Chen Tianshan entered the hall, he felt slightly stunned. Clearly, he had not expected so many people, including the First Song Sect's people and that major character.
"The Clear River Sect's Chen Tianshan greets the Hall Master!" Chen Tianshan said respectfully.
The young woman nodded, ignoring Chen Tianshan.
"Tianshan, why are you back at this time? Is Chen Taiji injured? How are his injuries? "the Clear River Sect Master asked.
Chen Tianshan replied bitterly, "That grandnephew of mine died half a month ago. His heart and meridians were shattered."
The Clear River Sect Master's face sank.
"Hahahahaha! With Chen Taiji dead, the Chen Nation is hopeless. Clear River Sect Master, you should get them to admit defeat!" the First Song Sect Master guffawed.
The Clear River Sect Master showed an extremely unsightly expression.
The black-clad young woman frowned slightly as well. Earlier, she had been thinking that Chen Taiji could not turn the situation around. Now that Chen Taiji was dead, the war between the two nations was over.
"Hall Master, my Clear River Sect has lost face this time!" The Clear River Sect Master bowed bitterly to the young woman.
His final hope was gone.
Before the young woman could say anything, Chen Tianshan immediately said anxiously, "Sect Master, we have not lost yet. There is still a chance to win it back!"
"Hahahaha! Chen Tianshan? What did you say earlier? Things are already like this. How can we win it back? "The First Song Sect Master guffawed in disbelief.
"Tianshan, shut up! Are you not ashamed enough? "the Clear River Sect Master shouted.
"This disciple is here for this matter. We can still win!" Chen Tianshan said firmly, bracing himself.
"Oh?" The black-clad young woman revealed some curiosity.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Chen Nation was finished with this battle. However, was this person trying to play up the crowd?
"Humph! Good! Chen Tianshan, tell me. How can we win?" the Clear River Sect Master demanded coldly.
Losing to the First Song Sect was already embarrassing enough. However, Chen Tianshan did not reflect on himself. Instead, he came over and boasted shamelessly that he could turn the situation around.
Chen Tianshan could only brace himself and say, "Sect Master, before my grandnephew Chen Taiji died, he recommended someone. He said that this person would definitely be able to turn the situation around, just like how the Song Nation promoted Gao Xianzhi back then."
"Oh? Just like Gao Xianzhi? "The young woman's interest was piqued.
"How can that be the same? Back then, the Song Nation only showed signs of defeat and had not suffered any losses yet. At that time, the Song Nation promoted Gao Xianzhi. However, the Chen Nation is already on the brink of destruction, suffering significant losses. Do you think they can turn the situation around? How is it possible to cook without rice? Do you believe that? "the Clear River Sect Master asked in disbelief.
However, the young woman smiled faintly and said, "Tell me. Who is it?"
Since the young woman spoke, the Clear River Sect Master naturally did not stop her. He only glared at Chen Tianshan.
Chen Tianshan also felt tormented. However, he could only brace himself and say, "Before Chen Taiji died, he recommended this person, saying that this person would definitely be able to turn the situation around. He seemed to be telling the truth, so I went with Crown Prince Chen to look for that person. That person is called Gu Hai. I believe that all of you senior brothers have seen him before. "
"Gu Hai? That old fellow reeking of money? "
"It's him? That person with a poor bone structure who wants to join my sect? "
"He started cultivating at the age of thirty. To think that he dares to dream about it. Maybe in his next life!"
…
…
…
Everyone immediately reacted. To Chen Tianshan's shock, he discovered that it was not just the Clear River Sect disciples. Even the people behind the First Song Sect Master seemed to know Gu Hai.
"Oh? He is willing to help the Chen Nation? "the young woman asked out of curiosity.
When the young woman spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.
Chen Tianshan smiled bitterly and said, "No, he said that he wants to help the Chen Nation win it back. However, he needs Sect Master's agreement. After he helps the Chen Nation turn the situation around, Sect Master will help him break through to the Innate Realm from the consummation Acquired Realm. Furthermore, he will be allowed to learn Innate Realm Cultivation Techniques in the Clear River Sect. "
"What? He is already at the consummation Acquired Realm? "everyone in the hall exclaimed in shock.
However, the young woman felt somewhat confused. She gave Chen Tianshan a strange look.
"Hall Master, that person's name is Gu Hai," Chen Tianshan explained. "There was no news of him in the past until forty years ago, when he suddenly appeared out of nowhere. At that time, he had yet to cultivate, and his foundation was extremely poor. He only started cultivating when he was thirty years old, and he couldn't cultivate internal energy, so he chose to cultivate external energy. He bitterly tempered his physical body and wanted to join our sects. At that time, we naturally didn't think much of him. Who would have thought that in just forty years, he would establish a huge business in the secular world and become the richest man in the Six Nations? Furthermore, he had reached the peak of the Acquired Realm!"
"Cultivating external energy to the consummation Acquired Realm? What strong perseverance! "Venerable Liu Nian revealed some shock.
"Cultivating external energy allows one to reach the consummation Acquired Realm?" The young woman looked at Venerable Liu Nian.
Venerable Liu Nian nodded and said, "It is extremely rare. At the very least, this is my second time hearing of it."
"Second time? In that case, who did you hear of the first time? "the young woman asked, feeling confused.
"Your maternal grandfather!" Venerable Liu Nian said.
Buzz!
The young woman's pupils constricted. Her expression turned grave.
"Sect Master, Gu Hai said that as long as you agree, he will help the Chen Nation turn the situation around. He needs your promise," Chen Tianshan said.
"What wishful thinking. An old man in the Acquired Realm wants to turn the situation around? He must be dreaming! "the First Song Sect Master said in disbelief.
However, the Clear River Sect Master looked at the young woman and saw some curiosity in her eyes. His heart, which had already sunk earlier, became lively again. He had already embarrassed himself. At most, he would do it again. Perhaps …?
"Alright! Promise him! "the Clear River Sect Master said solemnly." Yes.
Many thanks, Sect Master! "Chen Tianshan said excitedly.
However, the young woman at the side patted the folding fan in her hand and said, "Since that is the case, let's watch a little longer."
"Hall Master, there might not be enough time!" Venerable Liu Nian said somewhat worriedly.
"It's fine. I also want to see what this Gu Hai is relying on to dare make such a boast!" the young woman said with a smile.
"However …" Venerable Liu Nian frowned slightly.
"I know that this is already a foregone conclusion. However, haven't you noticed that everything has become interesting?" the young woman smiled.
"Alright!" Venerable Liu Nian smiled bitterly.
