Outside the Poison Dragon Lake.
The army camp.
A gloomy and sorrowful atmosphere enveloped the entire camp.
This camp was set up outside the Poison Dragon Lake. It had been responsible for supplying rations to the frontline and transporting the wounded.
Miserable screams could be heard from time to time in the casualty camp.
Those were the injured soldiers whose legs had been soaked in the poisonous water for too long and needed to be amputated.
They were lucky that they were not directly fed to the venomous pythons.
And from yesterday onwards, even worse news came out.
The Protectorate suffered a great loss in this expedition. Not only did they lose many of their elites, but even the fifth-grade Dao Official, Perfected Hao Yunzi, and two cultivators with the Ability of God were killed!
Although the heretic cultivators also suffered heavy casualties, the culprit had escaped.
As Zhong Shenxiu entered the camp, what he saw was a bleak and bleak atmosphere. There was even a hint of resentment.
Couldn't the army leave after eliminating the foreign tribes at the periphery? Why did they have to go deeper and increase the casualties?
It was this resentment that made the atmosphere in the camp look bad.
Even the news that the superiors tried their best to suppress spread quickly.
'The Protectorate Manor suffered heavy casualties this time, and even lost three of their experts. In the end, they didn't even get a single strand of Longhu Immortal's hair. It's really tragic … But at least they've eliminated Venomous Dragon Immortal, and their mission has been completed … In comparison, the rogue cultivators and the Mirrorcloud Sect are the ones who are truly tragic. They've been killed …'
With a relaxed mood, Chung Shen-soo went to the casualty camp to bandage some of his wounds. Then, wrapped in bandages, he went to look for Feng Xi'er.
"Su Daozhi …"
Inside the tent, Feng Xi'er looked dispirited. When she saw Chung Shen-soo enter, she forced a smile. "The situation was dire. We scattered and escaped. Only a few of us returned. I'm glad that you're back."
"Lieutenant Hong Fu, I was just lucky." Chung Shen-soo appeared humble.
"Luck is also a kind of strength. This time, Zhao Zhong and the others have all died … Protector-General, prepare to withdraw your army. You will have to take charge of the affairs under my command." Feng Xi 'er picked up a brush and began to make corrections on the mountain of military documents. "The Protector-General has ordered that the deceased will be given generous compensation. The soldiers will be given meat, wine, and money. The generals will be given one credit each. When we return, you will be promoted to ninth-rank Demon-Slaying Envoy. There won't be any problems."
"I don't dare to be greedy. I only hope that the commandant can grant me a request. I want to obtain the Daoist Initiation Technique!"
Chung Shen-soo bowed again and said solemnly.
He felt that the morale of the army was unstable and that the Protector-General needed to win the hearts of the people. He could be considered to have made a contribution, and with Feng Xi 'er's promise, he could not let go of this chance.
"Of course. I've already agreed to it before."
Feng Xi 'er smiled and said as if she already knew what he was going to say. "Which technique do you want?"
"I practice the Ten Directions Beast Art and I'm very familiar with it. I don't want to change it," Chung Shen-soo said bluntly.
"Su Daozhi … As expected of a member of the Su Clan. You know more than ordinary people … Among the techniques that the Protector-General can reward, the Ten Thousand Beasts Art is the best one. If the rest is completed and comes from a prestigious sect, you won't be at a dead end in the future …"
Feng Xi 'er rubbed her forehead. "If it was a normal wandering cultivator's dao book, I would have absolutely no problem submitting it. This Ten Thousand Beasts Art inheritance is a bit serious. You have given me a problem that is neither too big nor too small."
"I hope that the commandant can grant my request."
Chung Shen-soo bowed deeply.
If he didn't use it, it would be invalid. Moreover, he had saved this girl's life before, so he didn't feel the slightest burden in his heart.
Even though the other party didn't know about it.
Moreover, he only wanted this in name.
The complete Dragon Tiger Elixir Art was in his pocket.
If Feng Xi 'er still didn't agree, then he would really be useless in the government. He might as well go out and become a wandering cultivator.
"Our clans are considered friends. I will do my best to grant your request."
Feng Xi 'er said solemnly.
In fact, she felt that she had a high chance of success. She pretended to be in a difficult position to sell a bigger favor to him.
Moreover, with Su Daozhi's talent, he might really be able to enter the Dao and become a Gang Fiend realm cultivator after obtaining the technique. His status would be different and he would be a great help to her. It was worth roping him in.
'Friends? How long has it been since I heard of this? '
Chung Shen-soo secretly rolled his eyes. Then, he bowed again. "I will remember the commandant's kindness."
Hmm, then I will take it that you have returned the favor of saving my life.
The two talked for a while more. Chung Shen-soo, who had received a bunch of missions, was sent out to work.
He only returned to his tent in the middle of the night.
When it was late at night, he sat cross-legged and flicked his finger. A layer of inexplicable barrier appeared in the tent and sealed the aura.
Then, Chung Shen-soo stretched out his hand, and a black flying sword appeared.
Poison Dragon Sword!
This was the treasure that Venerable Poison Dragon relied on to become famous. It was extremely sharp.
In this battle, the Skeleton Scholar, the Flying Flower sisters, and Venerable Poison Dragon had died. However, his corpse was a little far away, so Chung Shen-soo only managed to get a flying sword.
Other than that, there were a few treasures on the battlefield.
The Divine Night Thunder Seal and the array diagram disappeared into the void.
The Five Fires Six Qi Cauldron was destroyed. Even if there was an Artifact Spirit, it probably could not escape death.
The last Mystic Heaven Jade Ruyi was most likely in Yan Beiling's hands. He did not know if Mirror Cloud Sect would still be able to return.
Other than that, there were no more treasures in Longhu Immortal's temporary cave abode. This person had probably used up all his savings in order to collect spirit items.
Chung Shen-soo burned the corpse, burned the bones, and scattered the ashes. In the end, he only found a sleeve.
It was a storage Dharma artifact, the Heaven and Earth Sleeve. Its interior was the size of a house. There were not many things inside, just some Red Thearch Coins and Yellow Thearch Talisman Coins. There were only a few thousand of them.
Chung Shen-soo had the Headless Count's alternate dimension to store resources. Although he was a little envious of the Heaven and Earth Sleeve, he still destroyed it after transferring the coins.
Now, the entire Fufeng Protectorate thought that Longhu Immortal had escaped. No one knew that he was dead.
However, one day, this matter would be exposed.
Chung Shen-soo did not want to bring any clues that would arouse suspicion with him.
"So, to be honest … this Poison Dragon Sword is the biggest treasure I've gotten this time."
Chung Shen-soo looked at the Poison Dragon Sword carefully.
The sword was about a foot long and less than an inch wide. Its body was translucent as if it was carved out of a black crystal. There was a small snake-like black line swimming in it. It was extraordinary.
"Good sword!"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes lit up. He slowly infused his Vital Qi into the sword.
The Poison Dragon Sword trembled slightly as if it was struggling. He released a bit of inspiration and immediately suppressed it. He began to refine the sword.
"Speaking of which … rumor has it that Venerable Poison Dragon's flying sword and swordsmanship were obtained from ancient immortal ruins. It has great power. Unfortunately, I can't find a sword manual to complement it, so the power of this sword will be reduced by half … Also, I have to change it before it can be used."
As his Vital Qi continued to be infused, the Poison Dragon Sword suddenly changed. The black color on the sword slowly faded, and it turned into a thin, crystal-clear flying sword!
