Over the past four years, the demons had sent troops to attack the iron defense wall of the empire in the north of Winterfrost City seven times, but they were all defeated by the power of the magic crystal cannons. The magic crystal cannons were like a nightmare for the demons, stopping them from advancing. They were suppressed by Wei Chou's army in Tongtian Province, unable to advance even half a step south.
The wind in May blew the heat waves from the grassland into the fertile fields. A continuous iron defense wall connected the east and the west. On top of the defense wall, a group of generals wearing the armor of senior officers of the empire were facing the north, gazing in the direction of Tongtian Province.
It had been four years. Wei Chou's handsome face, which seemed to have been carved by wind and frost, showed a resolute contour. His eyes were a little confused as he said, "This attack has lasted for a month. I don't know when QianFeng will attack the iron defense wall again, and how many times we can resist. Sigh …"
On the side, Situ Sen still maintained his youthful appearance. He had stepped into the Sanctuary-realm three years ago, and his appearance was forever unchanged. He put his hand on the hilt of his sword and said majestically, "We must resist as many times as QianFeng attacks. The empire is in the stage of recuperation. Every province is being farmed, and there is no extra military force for us to replenish. We can only rely on ourselves."
"Yes." Wei Chou nodded and suddenly asked, "How is the situation in the Bloody Abyss?"
"There is still no news from His Highness Yu. The Bloody Abyss has now become a continuous range of mountains and jungles for dozens of miles. Many hunters and herbalists have entered the Bloody Abyss, and we can't guard it at all. Therefore, I only send a legion of a thousand to guard the Bloody Abyss every month."
"That's the only way. I really hope that His Highness can wake up soon." A flash of light flashed across Wei Chou's eyes. He said, "I always feel that QianFeng's attacks in the past year are just a feint. He must be planning something. QianFeng is sinister and cunning. We must be more vigilant."
"Yes."
"Any news from Lanyan City?"
"There's no news. We have been supplied with rations and equipment on time every month. Don't worry, Duke Wei. His Highness Qin Yan is personally supervising the rations, so there won't be any mistakes." Situ Xue said respectfully.
"That's good."
Wei Chou looked back at Winterfrost City, which stood not far away, and said, "Winterfrost City is the heart of Winter Ridge Province. Continue to strengthen the walls and fortifications of Winterfrost City. If the steel walls can't stop the demons, we can only defend Winterfrost City."
"Yes!"
As the warm wind blew past, the capes of the generals of the Dragon's Courage Legion fluttered in the wind. Soldiers with bright swords and armor stood on the wall. Today, the Longdan Army Camp had expanded to 200,000 people, and it was worthy of being the strongest army in the empire. When Lin Muyu founded the Longdan Army Camp, she probably never thought that the Longdan Army Camp would be so powerful.
…
Lanyan City, Sacred Temple.
"The Star Picking Finger emphasizes on both offense and defense. One finger to attack, and the other to defend. The starlight protects the body, and the enemy is invisible."
A crisp voice described the profound meaning of the Star Picking Finger in the hall of the Sacred Temple's Trial Hall. It was none other than Chu Yao, who was wearing the robes of the Spirit Medicine Department's Great Deacon. Chu Yao was currently 33 years old, but she had mastered the seventh level of the Star Picking Finger three years ago. After she stepped into the Sacred Domain, her beauty was forever preserved, and she still looked like a 23 or 24 year old teenager.
A group of Gold Star and Silver Star instructors and sparring partners nodded their heads, listening to Chu Yao's words.
At the side, the aged Ge Yang held the scroll in his trembling hands and said with a smile, "Someone, prepare some tea for Great Deacon Chu Yao. Yao, it's been hard on you. If it wasn't for you, I really don't know who else in the Sacred Temple is capable."
Chu Yao smiled. "Grandpa Ge Yang is too polite. The Spirit Medicine Department and the Sacred Temple are originally one of the three departments of the empire. Since the staff of the Sacred Temple want to learn my Star Picking Finger, then I am duty-bound to do it. I'm just afraid that I can't teach them well, and I will fail to fulfill Grandpa Ge Yang's trust."
"How can that be …" Ge Yang sighed.
Ge Yang sighed and said, "Ever since Great Deacon Xuanyuan Hong ascended four years ago, there hasn't been a Sacred Domain expert in the Sacred Temple. It's all thanks to you, Yao, that you often come here to teach martial arts. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Sacred Temple will continue to decline day by day. Sigh … It's a pity that that brat Yu still refuses to wake up. Otherwise, with his cultivation, it would be more than enough for him to be the Great Deacon of the Sacred Temple. There wouldn't be a need for an old bag of bones like me to sit on the seat of the Great Deacon for the second time. Sigh …"
At the mention of Lin Muyu, a hint of sadness immediately appeared on Chu Yao's beautiful face. She said, "Yu will definitely wake up, I believe in him … Perhaps, when Yu wakes up, he will also bring Her Highness Yin back alive. The two of them … are not irresponsible people, they won't throw all the burdens on us."
"Yes, that's right …"
Four years ago, in the Blood Red Abyss, Qin Yin was killed by Tang Xiaoxi. As the Great Deacon of the Sacred Temple, Xuanyuan Hong failed to protect Qin Yin. Because of this, he was depressed for nearly half a year. Finally, Xuanyuan Hong took the blame and resigned from his position as the Great Deacon of the Sacred Temple. On a night when lightning flashed, he ascended to the Heaven Realm and stepped into the Divine Domain to cultivate. As for the other elder of the Empire, Qu Chu had been missing for many years. No one knew where he had gone. There were rumors that Qu Chu had cultivated in the mountains and had already ascended. There were also rumors that a hunter had seen traces of Qu Chu in the mountains. Riding on a spiritual crane, Xiaoyao was like an immortal. As for which rumor was more reliable, no one knew. In any case, Feng Jixing and Qin Yan felt that these rumors were not very reliable. However, Qu Chu was not a person who was obsessed with fame and status, so no one could blame him.
Ge Yang held the scroll in his hand and looked at Chu Yao awkwardly. He said, "Yao …"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.
Chu Yao stood on the training platform of the Training Hall. Condensing her fingers, a ray of starlight flickered on it. She could not help but smile, "Grandpa Ge Yang, if there's anything you want to say, just say it directly. There's no need to be embarrassed with me."
Ge Yang said, "You see, grandpa is also old. My old bones will not be able to move soon. How about … I go to His Highness Qin Yan to resign from his position as the Great Deacon of the Sacred Temple. You will be the Great Deacon of both the Sacred Temple and the Spiritual Medicine Department. How about that?"
"Ah? This … "Chu Yao had a helpless expression." Absolutely not. Let's not talk about the fact that I can't split myself, there has never been such a rule since ancient times. Grandpa Ge Yang, how about this … if you really want me to help you in the Sacred Temple, I will also be a Sacred Temple Deacon. How about that? "
"Good! Good! " Ge Yang's face was full of joy. "That's great. With you in the Sacred Temple, no one will dare to bully us anymore. Yao, you are the younger sister of Chu Huaiyi, one of the Four Heroes of Lanyan. Furthermore, you have already cultivated the Star Plucking Finger to the highest realm. That is enough to convince the masses."
Chu Yao could not help but laugh. "So Grandpa Ge Yang is just worried about this."
"Yes! I really hope that brat Yu can return early. That way, I can return the Great Deacon position to him. I won't have to do everything myself. "
"Yes, no one wishes for that brat to wake up early …"
… …
In the Blood Red Abyss, there was a dense jungle. At this time, it was raining heavily. Raindrops slid down from the branches and leaves of the jungle, continuously soaking into the soil that was once known as the forbidden land.
"Sha sha …"
On the peak of the mountain, a pile of withered grass and fallen leaves were pushed aside. In an extremely secretive cave among the rocks, a young man in ragged clothes pushed open the entrance of the cave and slowly climbed out. The light outside was very dazzling. He had not seen the light for a long time. He stumbled out of the cave. Suddenly, there seemed to be something stuck in the rock at the entrance of the cave.
He exerted force, and with a "zheng" sound, a rusty longsword fell from his back. The ring of the Stellar Sword's scabbard was already rusty. This young man was undoubtedly Lin Muyu. However, at this moment, Lin Muyu had no idea who he was. His mind was blank. He did not even know what the sword was called.
"So troublesome."
He picked up the Stellar Sword and carefully looked at the patterns on the scabbard and hilt. He raised his hand to hold the hilt and suddenly pulled. However, the blade seemed to be rusty and did not move at all.
"So it is just a piece of scrap metal." He frowned and still carried the longsword on his back. At this moment, a rumbling sound came from his stomach. He was hungry. He had been hungry for four years. It was just that he did not know it.
There were wild fruits in the mountain. He leaped a few meters and climbed up an apple tree like a spirit ape. He plucked an apple and took a big bite. It was sour, but not bad. It was edible.
Not long after, a pile of fruit cores fell from the tree. Lin Muyu ate until he was half full. He leaned against the tree trunk and rested for a moment.
"Weng!"
Suddenly, there seemed to be a response in his mind. A sea of flames burned in his mind, and he even saw a beautiful face. Who was she?
Lin Muyu did not know who she was, but he knew that he must save her.
"Nine Revolution Spirit Medicine … Nine Revolution Spirit Medicine …"
He did not know why, but there seemed to be someone muttering this term in his mind. Then, he seemed to recall some memory fragments. That's right, Nine Revolution Spirit Medicine. The Heaven's Heart Grass and Soul Returning Grass were refined according to the ratio of nine to one. It could revive the dead!
"Heaven's Heart Grass … Heaven's Heart Grass …"
He did not know who he wanted to save, nor did he know who he was. However, he knew that if he could find the Heaven's Heart Grass and refine the Nine Revolution Spirit Medicine, he might be able to find the answer he wanted!
He jumped down from the tree and landed in the forest after a few jumps. Lin Muyu looked around, looking for the legendary Heaven's Heart Grass. However, Heaven's Heart Grass was a level 10 medicine. It was not easy to find it.
…
When the heavy rain was about to stop, a new traveler came to the jungle. It was a girl with a bamboo stick in her hand. She had worn out her straw sandals and her toes were pierced by sharp rocks. She was bleeding, but she couldn't care less. Her little heart was filled with her grandpa's seriously injured appearance. She had to find the spirit stone grass that could heal bones.
