The river was so wide that they couldn't see the other side. The waves were yellow and surging as if the Dragon King was angry.
When Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others returned to the World of Gods and Demons, the first thing they saw was the Nu River. The ancient gods and demons had come to the world and fought here. The earth was split into a river that lasted for tens of thousands of years. The aura of the gods and demons gradually merged with the river and the terrain to reach the Ninth Heaven. Birds and Exterior masters couldn't cross it, so they had to rely on boats made of special wood to cross it. Even grandmasters could only tread on the water for a few hundred feet. Once they fell into the water, it would be extremely difficult to float again.
Even though an Exterior master could hold his breath for a long time and sink to the bottom of the river by stepping on the mud and rocks at the bottom to cross the river, it was still unknown how many strong and strange monsters were hiding in the depths of the river under the influence of the breath of the gods and demons. It was only because of the successive generations of masters that they could not enter the surface of the river that some of them slipped through the net. Unless one was very confident in himself, no one would choose to cross the river by stepping on the bottom.
The terrifying, vast, majestic, and breathtaking aura turned into a cold breeze. Mengqi shivered slightly and recalled the introduction of the Dominator of Six Realms to the Nu River. He looked around and spread his senses to find the barracks of the 18 Revolutionary Army.
"There's the aura of soldiers and iron there." Qi Zhengyan pointed to the left.
In the Death Task, he didn't want to hide anything and went all out.
Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng were all surprised. They had never heard of Qi Zhengyan's ability in this aspect. Mengqi pretended not to notice their emotional changes and reminded them, "Be careful. We may not be on Du Huaishang's side. Maybe we've been thrown to the other side."
Since it was a Death Task, anything could happen.
Putting away her surprise, Jiang Zhiwei and the others concealed themselves. Together with Mengqi and Qi Zhengyan, they proceeded cautiously to the left. After a while, a high platform appeared beside the river. Banners and flags were fluttering in the wind. There was a Restrictive Spell secretly set up, connecting the eighteen camps into a long line.
Flags with the words "Du", "Hongyi", "Zhu", "Pinghai", "Miao", "Jiushan", and "Jiushan" came into view. Mengqi heaved a long sigh of relief. The beginning was not too bad. At least he was not thrown to the other side of the river and had to cross the river with great difficulty, or lurk behind the enemy lines to wreak havoc.
"The camp's layout is rigorous, and it gathers the murderous aura of all living beings. There must be a formation master in the Revolutionary Army …" Zhao Heng sighed.
Mengqi looked at the riverside and saw that there were only about a hundred boats. His heart skipped a beat. The battle situation seemed to be unfavorable.
Seeing that the camp was heavily guarded and that it would be difficult for them to sneak in, they all changed their appearance and attire from the last time they arrived. They swaggered to the front of the camp with the words' Red Shirt 'and' Du 'written on it.
Du Huaishang still owed them some benefits!
"We are Dissimilated Men who are acquainted with Heavenly King Du. We heard that he had rebelled against the Revolutionary Army and lost his way, so we came to help." Mengqi cupped one hand in the other before his chest and said to the soldiers guarding the camp gate.
One of the soldiers, who seemed to be the leader, looked Mengqi and the others up and down before saying, "Please wait for a moment, masters. I will go and inform them now."
His attitude was not warm but rather cold. Mengqi, Jiang Zhiwei, and the others looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.
The Revolutionary Army seemed to be at a disadvantage. Why did they treat the Dissimilated Men with such an attitude?
Could it be that a spy had infiltrated in the name of seeking refuge and caused damage?
Relying on his great kindness to the Red Shirt Army, Mengqi stood in front of the camp and waited patiently.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed like a general came out. He was full of smiles and was as warm as the weather in June. He apologized repeatedly, "Please forgive us for our negligence."
"It's okay. There must be strict rules when it comes to marching and fighting." Mengqi said calmly.
The general glanced at the beautiful people and smiled even more brightly. He turned around and led the way. From time to time, he exchanged greetings and asked about the origin of Mengqi and the others.
"We were born near Daning and we are old friends with Heavenly King Du." Mengqi answered concisely.
"No wonder." The general laughed and said, "I am Xu Wei. I feel that the imperial court has lost its way and the world is in chaos, so I joined the Revolutionary Army."
"Mentioning the Revolutionary Army but not the Red Shirt Army?" Mengqi felt strange when they arrived in front of a tent. Xu Wei did not report but directly opened the "door" and entered.
The decoration inside was simple. There was only a table with documents, pens, ink, and other things on it. Behind the table stood a burly man who was eight feet tall. His scalp was green and smooth without hair. His eyes were sharp as if they were real. There was a dark green vertical eye between his eyebrows. His breath was so majestic and heavy that even the sea of Primordial Qi between heaven and earth could not shake.
"This is Lord of the Naval Conquests." Xu Wei introduced flatteringly.
"Lord of the Naval Conquests?" "Not Du Huaishang, the Peacekeeping Heavenly King?" Jiang Zhiwei quietly held the hilt of the sword with her right hand. Ruan Yushu slightly changed the posture of his hands. He leaned the Zither of Seven Deities to his left arm and freed his right hand so that he could play it at any time.
The man in front of him was definitely at the level of a guru!
Mengqi carried the sword and blade on his back. He was vigilant but his expression did not change. He pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Lord of the Naval Conquests of the Red Shirt Army?"
"No, no." Xu Wei quickly denied.
At this time, the burly man laughed. "It seems that you have not been in the secular world for a long time. I am the leader of the Naval Conquests. Everyone respects me and calls me 'Lord of the Naval Conquests'."
"So he is one of the 18 Revolutionary Armies …" Mengqi cupped his hands and saluted. "Lord of the Naval Conquests, but this seems to be the camp of the Red Shirt Army?"
He deliberately showed his doubts.
The burly man sighed. "I am on duty here today."
"The Red Shirt Army needs the leader of another Revolutionary Army to be on duty? Is he too overbearing or is he in a disadvantageous position? " Mengqi was a little worried. The Death Task was always so troublesome. "Did something happen to the Red Shirt Army?"
Lord of the Naval Conquests sighed again. "Yes. In the battle on the river a few days ago, Heavenly King Du was ambushed by 'Martial Emperor' and was seriously injured. If not for Immortal Wanshi's desperate rescue and the divine weapon automatically protecting its owner, he would have died. Alas, he has been in a coma for many days and is not getting better. Everyone in the Revolutionary Army is in danger. Miao Hu of the Nine Mountains Army, Feng Jingtang of the Earth-overturning Army, and Liu Shunshui of the Progeny Army all have other ideas. I have no choice but to be on duty to prevent any mishaps."
"The divine weapon automatically protecting its owner …" Mengqi's eyelids twitched. "The difficulty of this task is really terrifying!"
"We are good at medicinal pills and can save Heavenly King Du." Mengqi deliberately pretended not to understand the hidden meaning in Lord of the Naval Conquests' words.
Lord of the Naval Conquests shook his head with a solemn expression. "Healing pills alone are enough. Why delay until now and make people panic? Moreover, a spy tried to assassinate Heavenly King Du yesterday and almost succeeded, which worsened his injury. Now Immortal Wanshi has sealed off the central army camp and forbade anyone from entering. "
A worried expression appeared on his face. "If Heavenly King Du dies, the Revolutionary Army will no longer have anyone who can convince the masses. Perhaps we will go our separate ways and let the imperial court catch its breath. I am not strong enough to stop them. I only hope to preserve the power of life for the common people. I hope you can help me."
He straightforwardly expressed his intention of soliciting them.
Mengqi and others did not conceal their breaths. Their realms could be roughly judged. To the Revolutionary Army, which did not have many grandmasters, they were definitely a force worthy of attention.
"They came directly to the territory of the Red Coat Army to recruit people. This Lord of the Naval Conquests probably has more ulterior motives than Miao Hu and Liu Shunshui …" Mengqi was not clear about the situation of the entire Revolutionary Army and the imperial court's army, so it was not good to fall out with them directly and make a big deal out of it to draw out the current leader of the Red Coat Army.
Therefore, he said sorrowfully, "We are old friends with Heavenly King Du and originally came to seek refuge with him. If he unfortunately dies, we can only help those who care about the common people in the world."
Lord of the Naval Conquests nodded with satisfaction. "I will not let you down, Xu Wei."
"Yes, sir." The general stood out.
"Lead you to the unoccupied tent and wait for news from Heavenly King Du." Lord of the Naval Conquests' solemnly 'paid his respects. "I will go to the central army camp to help you talk to Immortal Wanshi and let you meet Heavenly King Du. Alas, let's try everything we can."
As for whether Lord of the Naval Conquests would really go, Mengqi could guess with his toes. He followed Xu Wei to the back of the camp and entered an unoccupied tent.
Xu Wei said with a smile, "Lord of the Naval Conquests has been courageous since he was a child. He has a strong bloodline and extraordinary talent. After many battles, he founded the Naval Conquests and unified the southeast coast. Now he is a Level Two expert and one of the best in the Revolutionary Army. If not for Heavenly King Du's divine weapon and the help of Immortal Wanshi, with his Level Five strength, the leader of the Revolutionary Army would be Lord of the Naval Conquests. If we follow him now, we will have a bright future!"
He flattered Lord of the Naval Conquests and then asked about Mengqi and others in a roundabout way. However, Mengqi and Jiang Zhiwei were so experienced that they talked a lot without any substance.
After Xu Wei left, Jiang Zhiwei suddenly said, "There are experts watching nearby."
Sky-reaching Sword Heart!
Meng Qi also sensed it. He smiled bitterly and transmitted his voice to his companions, "The Revolutionary Army is weak to begin with, and there are many internal conflicts and infighting. The Death Task this time is really difficult, and a Divine Weapon has appeared."
"Fortunately, the divine weapon belongs to Du Huaishang." Zhao Heng exhaled.
"The opposite side is the imperial court that has ruled the world for many years. Maybe they also have a divine weapon …" Mengqi paced a few steps. "I will change my appearance first and find my acquaintances in the Red Coat Army to figure out the situation. If Du Huaishang's injury is not special, one Immortality Elixir of East Pole will be enough."
