At this time, some of the other Mystic Immortal Sword Immortals who were also guarding the Mountain Suppressing Sword looked at the lotus clone with envy and even a little annoyance. They were all Mystic Immortals, but the lotus clone was not well-known in the past. It was of humble origin and was not from a famous immortal sect in the Heavenly Court. Yet, it was valued by Chu Yangzi and Guan Yuehe.
On the contrary, these Mystic Immortals had been overshadowed by the Mountain Suppressing Sword's unintentional brilliance.
In short, the group of Mystic Immortals had all kinds of feelings toward the lotus clone. They wanted to befriend it, were envious, jealous, or were unconvinced. In contrast, although Xiao Yu and the others who came here with the lotus clone could not get close to the Mountain Suppressing Sword, they could more directly feel the changes brought about by the lotus clone's increase in strength.
Originally, people like them who came from low-level Immortal Domains were not valued in this place where many Immortal Armies were stationed. Most of the time, they were even ostracized. Even when they were fighting in the Tiansang Wasteland, they were often arranged to be in some dangerous positions to lure the enemy. Not only did they have to fight bloody battles, but because of their identity and status, they usually did not receive much respect.
But now, Xiao Yu and the others could directly feel the increase in their status. Even the resources and supplies distributed by the Immortal Army were much more abundant than before.
Xiao Yu and the Immortal Army surrounded and guarded the Mountain Suppressing Sword. Most of the time, there was nothing to do. However, at this moment, as the Chi Tiger Race used the ancient beacon tower in their race to release black clouds of smoke, the area within a radius of hundreds of thousands of kilometers turned into a land of black nightmare, and the boundless darkness was rapidly spreading even further away.
The Immortal Army led by Xiao Yu was also in this black area. When they heard the tiger roars and the sounds of fighting coming from all around, they felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. The methods used by the Chi Tiger Tribe this time were not the same as before. Obviously, they were not fooling around when they put on such a big show. News of the Immortal Army's defeat kept coming from the front. Xiao Yu secretly guessed that the Chi Tiger Tribe would not be easy to deal with this time. It would probably be a fierce battle.
"Pass down the order to prepare for battle and prevent the Chi Tiger Tribe from launching a surprise attack!" Xiao Yu shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Du Liqing, Feng Wushan, Shi Xiu, Wan Jin, Zhou Feng, and the others replied. As former subordinates of the lotus clone from the Myriad Sword Sect, they had no sense of belonging to the Heavenly Court in the first place. First, they were forcefully conscripted by the Heavenly Court to the flesh mill in the Illusory Swamp. Later on, he followed the Lotus Flower Avatar in the Mukun Immortal Domain and lived a good life for a few days. However, the good times didn't last long. He was immediately transferred to the war in the Tiansang Wasteland. Previously, when he was in the Illusory Fog Swamp, he was at the bottom. However, after he joined the Mukun Immortal Domain and was sent to the Tiansang Wasteland, he was still at the bottom.
Even though Du Liqing, Feng Wushan, and the others knew that the rise in strength and status of the Lotus Avatar was not due to them. Other than the Lotus Avatar, Xiao Yu, and a few others, no one in the Immortal Army cared about their life and death. Whether such a team of thousands suffered heavy casualties or not, it had no effect on the current situation at all.
If they were in danger and couldn't deal with it themselves, no one would enthusiastically help them except for the Lotus Flower Avatar. However, the Lotus Flower Avatar was responsible for guarding the Mountain Suppressing Sword. The situation it faced was probably not much better than theirs. If the situation really became chaotic, the Lotus Flower Avatar might not be able to take care of them in time. At the critical moment, the Immortal Army still had to protect themselves as much as possible and not cause trouble for the Lotus Flower Avatar.
In the distant void, black clouds rolled. The Chi Tiger tribe and the various Immortal Army divisions were engaged in a fierce battle. The sounds of fighting surged like a tide. Xiao Yu led Du Liqing, Feng Wushan, Zhou Feng, and the others to lead the thousands of Immortal Army troops under their command to defend to the death. They were afraid that the Chi Tiger tribe warriors would suddenly charge over.
At that moment, under the shroud of the black clouds, an indifferent tiger shadow approached the Mountain Suppressing Sword from Xiao Yu's side.
The tiger shadow's eyes were cold and did not contain a trace of chaotic emotions. It was as if the battle in the sky did not exist to it.
The indifferent tiger shadow approached the Mountain Suppressing Sword lightly. It had no intention of attacking Xiao Yu's Immortal Army.
Xiao Yu and the others did not notice the tiger shadow's existence at all.
"Chi Tiger Phantom!" At that moment, a middle-aged man with a withered complexion, who was stationed near the Mountain Suppressing Sword, seemed to have cultivated some kind of magical power. He discovered the indifferent tiger shadow's existence in advance. He immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Nameless friend, are you in charge of guarding the Mountain Suppressing Sword? Is there a problem?" Guan Yuehe communicated with the Lotus Avatar with her Divine Sense.
"It's not a big problem for me to be in charge of the Mountain Suppressing Sword for the time being. However, the troops I brought are the only ones I'm familiar with in the Heavenly Court. If there's a fight later, I hope the two seniors can take care of them," the Lotus Avatar said. At that moment, his Divine Sense had discovered the vague existence of the Chi Tiger Phantom through the radiation of the sword intent.
"Alright, we'll take care of your troops appropriately," Chu Yangzi and Guan Yuehe said after looking at each other.
The Lotus Avatar had already taken over Chu Yangzi's position to assist in adjusting the Mountain Suppressing Sword's sword intent. As long as the Golden Immortal experts of the Tiansang Wasteland did not attack, there was no need to fully utilize the Seven Suppressing Swords for the time being. After all, there was a price to pay for every use, especially when part of the Seven Suppressing Swords were damaged.
The Chi Tiger Clan clearly intended to take advantage of the Seven Suppressing Swords' partial damage to inflict further damage to the Seven Suppressing Swords. Perhaps there were some other unforeseen events. At that moment, even Guan Yuehe and Chu Yangzi did not know exactly what had happened in the Tiansang Wasteland.
They also did not know that the Honghao Heavenly Court's plan had completely failed and that the Tiansang Wasteland was planning to take advantage of the Heavenly Court's failure to launch another counterattack. The Heavenly Court had already lost a large number of Immortal soldiers in the previous defeat. They had relied on the Heavenly Court's deep roots and solid foundation to mobilize an even larger Immortal Army from the Immortal Domains further away. Even the East Sea Dragon Palace had contributed a lot.
If they were defeated again this time, it would probably take three to five years for them to accumulate an Immortal Army of the same scale to launch another counterattack. After all, with the Tiansang Wasteland as the core, the Immortal Armies of the nearby Immortal Domains had almost all been mobilized. The resources consumed were uncountable. Even for the Honghao Heavenly Court, it was a huge burden. If they wanted to mobilize Immortal Armies from further away, not only would they have to go on an expedition, but the consumption would also be several times more than before.
However, Chu Yangzi and Guan Yuehe were Heaven Immortal experts after all. They could also find out from other channels that the Heavenly Court's war situation was not developing well.
Chu Yangzi and Guan Yuehe needed the Lotus Avatar to exert great strength and even coordinate with the other Mystic Immortal-level Sword Immortals. Naturally, they needed to win over the Lotus Avatar and eliminate some of its worries.
