A few hours later, the two demons were brought back by a few dozen Golden Core realm cultivators.
Gu Qing Shan swung his sword and completed the Title Unlock Quest.
[You've perfectly performed 5 instant kills, all of them were enemies with a higher realm than yourself]
[You've completed 5 instant kills against a stronger opponent, the corresponding title will be unlocked]
[To unlock this rare top-tier title, you need to pay 100 Soul Points]
"I'll pay"
[You've spent 100 Soul Points, Title Skill unlocked]
[Remaining Soul Points Title: Ace Assassin (Assassin title has been overwritten)]
[Description: You used a single strike to kill an opponent stronger than yourself]
[Equipping this title grants you the Skill: Harvest (Advanced)]
[Harvest (Advanced): Whenever you kill an opponent in one strike, the spirit energy used for that strike will be fully replenished]
Seeing this title, Gu Qing Shan was very happy.
Although this isn't a Divine Skill, in a large-scale war, it might be even more useful than a Divine Skill.
Now, it's time to focus on breaking through to Golden Core realm.
"Thank you, you've helped me a lot this time" he patted Leng Tian Xing's shoulder.
Leng Tian Xing waved his hand, saying: "We're brothers, this is nothing"
"Then I'll be leaving first"
"You're not going to stay for a while?"
"Hm, the Quest is a bit urgent"
"Alright, I'll send you off"
Leng Tian Xing walked him out of the camp, watching him disappear into the vast wilderness.
Leng Tian Xing squints his eyes, muttering: "Strange, the entire allied army is still in the exploration phase of this world"
"The Saints have already checked this area thoroughly, there aren't any powerful monsters, where would there be an urgent Quest?"
"That brat's in a hurry, I wonder what he's up to now"
He shook his head and went back.
Being alone has its own benefits. Gu Qing Shan packed lightly, didn't stop, and finally arrived at Ding Yuan General Gongsun Zhi's camp at noon the next day.
This is a large military camp, you could even say it's a military stronghold.
The 10-meter-tall outer wall of the stronghold is protected by various defensive formations.
The cultivators in charge of guarding the array formation stood on the high walls of the outer wall. They took every few steps, their expressions solemn and vigilant.
Gu Qing Shan asked a few enforcer cultivators and got the same answer.
Gongsun Zhi was not around. It was said that he had gone out to carry out a mission ordered by the Three Saints and had not returned.
Gu Qing Shan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Previously, when they sent the Communication Talisman, they had clearly agreed on something, but in the end, Gongsun Zhi wasn't around.
Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, and the fiendish demons in this area were not that strong.
However, the Hundred Flowers Fairy would never lie to intimidate her apprentice.
There was definitely a great danger that had yet to erupt.
He wanted to reach the Golden Core Realm a step earlier so that he would have more power.
Unfortunately, breaking through a great realm was a very dangerous thing. The Heavenly Demons could attack at any time, and there were many inexplicable existences in the void that wanted to take over a cultivator's body, eat his soul, eat his flesh, and even those with pure evil intentions … All kinds of existences would seize this cultivator's weakest moment.
So he needed someone to protect him.
Unfortunately, when he was still in the cultivation world, his wounds hadn't healed yet, and he didn't have any Soul Points.
Now that he's in Shen Wu world, he has Soul Points, but Gongsun Zhi isn't here.
There's also no news of Shifu, I can't contact him.
What now?
He stood at the entrance of the military camp, letting everyone stare at him with strange gazes.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down.
I can't panic, otherwise it'll be a bad thing.
Gongsun Zhi is a man of his word.
It must have been one of those last-minute missions that he couldn't avoid that forced Gongsun Zhi to leave.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have broken his promise like this.
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, the sky suddenly darkened.
The rain of fire in the sky disappeared.
An intense spirit energy fluctuation swept over like a storm, making it hard for anyone to open their eyes.
"Amitabha!"
A loud Buddhist chant resounded between heaven and earth.
This was the Great Monk of Sorrow's voice!
Gu Qing Shan's heart tightened, hurriedly looked up.
A blinding golden light was hovering in the sky, far away.
The golden light was continuously striking the sky, but couldn't do anything.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The golden light continued to strike the sky.
Suddenly, a mystical rune appeared out of nowhere and struck the golden light.
The golden light became dim and quickly fell down.
A green figure flew up to receive the golden light, broke through the void of space and flew into it.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan was stunned.
He wasn't the only one. Almost every cultivator was the same. They stood rooted to the ground, not moving an inch.
The peaceful spirit energy fluctuation that the golden light gave off just now was very familiar to everyone.
It was the Great Monk of Sorrow.
As for the green figure, she was even more familiar to everyone.
Hundred Flowers Fairy.
The two Saints of humanity, just like that, broke through the void of space and silently left.
This has never happened before in history.
Even someone as strong as them would end up like this.
What exactly is in the sky?
Where's Xuanyuan Tianzun?
One mystery after another floated in everyone's mind, making it hard for them to calm down.
"Shifu …" Gu Qing Shan gritted her teeth.
With Hundred Flowers Fairy's personality, if the Great Monk of Sorrow's condition wasn't that bad, she would've gone up and fought him, not just turned around and left.
What exactly happened?
At this time, a tsunami like roar came from outside the camp.
The earth began to tremble.
"Demons! Demons! "a cultivator shouted in a frenzy.
"Rain of Fire! Rain of Fire! "even more people shouted, helplessly looking around.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the horizon.
Endless waves of demons were rushing towards them like a tsunami.
The rain of fire appeared once again, covering the sky and covering the earth as it chased after the demons. It was a shocking sight.
Gu Qing Shan squints her eyes, looking at the demons, she found a few Rejuvenation realm or even Ascended realm great demons.
"What now!?" someone shouted in despair.
The Ding Yuan General Gongsun Zhi isn't here.
Without a high-ranking commander's order, the cultivators don't dare to give up on this almost finished stronghold.
Deserting is punishable by death according to military law.
Two golden-armored great cultivators hurriedly rushed over.
One of them was Rejuvenation realm peak, the other was Ascended realm.
There were very few Rejuvenation realm peak cultivators, and even fewer Ascended realm cultivators, not even 50.
One of them looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: "I'm good at fighting, but not good at planning, what do you think we should do now?"
Gu Qing Shan put her hand on the ground, sensing it, then her expression changed.
"I think we need to retreat" she said.
The two You Ji Generals heard that, but didn't say anything.
The Rejuvenation realm cultivator looked at the Ascended realm cultivator.
The Ascended realm cultivator hesitated a bit, then looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: "You give the order"
This means she doesn't want to take responsibility for giving the order to retreat.
In truth, any experienced General would know that it's time to retreat in a situation like this.
The rain of fire was so powerful that even the ground itself was melted by it, let alone a mere stronghold.
Below the rain of fire, there was also a horde of fleeing demons.
Even the Saint fell from the sky.
At a time like this, if they don't run for their lives, what else can they do?
Time is of the essence, so Gu Qing Shan didn't really want to argue with him, so she leapt onto the stronghold's General Stage.
He loudly said: "Everyone get on the airship, form a formation and retreat!"
The cultivators looked at his golden armor, then at his young face, a bit hesitant.
They spent so much effort to build this stronghold, they're going to abandon it just like that?
This isn't a small matter, if they come looking for trouble in the future, no one will be able to escape.
Seeing everyone still hesitating, Gu Qing Shan was a bit worried.
If they wait any longer, it'll be too late.
He tapped his Inventory Bag, took out his badge and raised it up.
