The mountain path was bumpy and difficult to traverse, so much so that most of the places did not have a ready-made path.
The remaining members of the Magic Lotus Sect were dragging along their families, men and women, old and young. Their speed was extremely slow, and they could only cover a few dozen kilometers in a day.
Fortunately, there was a large group of Class 2 Direbeasts accompanying them. Lin Xuan simply arranged for the weaker members to sit on the backs of the Direbeasts, which sped up their journey.
Celestial Wolf Mountain was full of danger, and every step was filled with danger.
However, Lin Xuan had the Shadow Flying Locusts to scout the way, so he could always find the most suitable and safest route, and there was no danger along the way.
Whenever he encountered a Direbeast below Class 2, he would directly crush it and use the Soul-Meld Seal to absorb the essence of the Direbeast, turning it into resources for the Immemorial Golden Body. Even a pack of wolves was swallowed by the Shadow Flying Locusts in the blink of an eye, turning into a pile of bones.
When he encountered a Class 2 Direbeast, Lin Xuan would either use the Soul-Meld Seal to subdue it or consume it.
If he encountered a Class 3 Direbeast, Lin Xuan would let Yu Tiandi go and clear the path ahead.
As for Class 3 Direbeasts and above, Lin Xuan would change his route five kilometers in advance, preferring to take the long route rather than take the risk.
For the remaining members, although the journey was bumpy and difficult, there was no danger. They admired the Lotus God and the Holy Child Lin Xuan's methods.
Gradually, their trust in Lin Xuan surpassed that of Mi Qingqing.
If Mi Qingqing was a man, a man with a strong desire for power, she would probably be wary of Lin Xuan.
However, she was a woman, a charming woman, and her heart had long been set on Lin Xuan.
She would only feel happy and proud that her man had won the loyalty and support of the remaining members, and would not feel jealous at all.
Three days later, the group of thousands of people gradually climbed over a thousand-foot-tall ridge in Celestial Wolf Mountain. Looking north, they finally saw the silhouettes of the Great River Castle and Fish Dragon Town. Everyone could not help but sigh in relief and cheer.
Lin Xuan sat down on a rock and drank a mouthful of wine, but he smiled regretfully and sighed.
"Celestial Wolf Mountain is a good place. If I can stay here for a while, I might be able to complete the Immemorial Golden Body."
Unfortunately, there were many things that could not be done without him. He could only temporarily give up on cultivating.
…
The River Sect, in a few months' time, the Immemorial Golden Immemorial Golden Direbeast, the Immemorial Golden Immemorial Golden Immemorial.
Immemorial Immemorial Immemorial, Immemorial Immemorial, and Immemorial Immemorial Immemorial, Immemorial Immemorial Immemorial Immemorial Imimimmemorial,
Imimmemorial immemorial, Immemorial, Imin that, many that that that that that many many Imimimimmemorial of Imimmortal Imimimimimmemorial of Imimimmemorial, Imimimimimimimimimmemorial, and immemorial many many people of Imimmemorial, Immortal.....
Of course, most of them were the treasured ships that came ashore to replenish their supplies, causing the northern pier to be bustling with activity every day.
In just one month, the population of the entire town had increased by tens of thousands, and it gradually showed signs of prosperity. Now, compared to some small cities, it only lacked a city wall.
However, in the past two days, a fully-armored army with unknown motives had suddenly arrived in Fish Dragon Town, casting a dark cloud over the town.
Longbow Battalion, in a study.
A female general wearing a butterfly mask stood by the window, looking at the long sword in her hand called "Xue Qing" in a daze.
"Lin Xuan, when are you coming back?"
Mu Qingxue raised her head and looked at the floating clouds in the distance, a trace of worry flashing in the depths of her beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
"Stop! Commander Jin, you can't go in! Commander Mu is not seeing any guests today! "
"How dare you! I have urgent business with Commander Mu! How can she just disappear like that?! "
The next moment, a middle-aged general with a gloomy face walked into the study aggressively.
With his hands behind his back, he looked coldly at Mu Qingxue and questioned in a low voice, "Commander Mu, the general has ordered the Longbow Battalion to move out and attack the River Sect immediately. Why are you still not sending out your troops? Are you deliberately stalling for time? "
Mu Qingxue frowned slightly and said coldly, "Vice … Commander Jin! When the army was mobilized, they needed to make all kinds of preparations. For the past few years, the Longbow Battalion did not have enough soldiers' pay and provisions, and they were lacking in military equipment. If they wanted to use only two thousand soldiers to attack the Dajiang Gang, which had eight thousand men and horses, they were afraid that their current strength was not enough. They still needed to prepare carefully for some time! I already have a plan for this, Vice Commander Jin, you don't need to worry! "
This Vice Commander Jin was called Jin Fei. He was sent by the Sirius City military town to replace Xue Datong and had just arrived yesterday.
When he arrived, he also brought with him a military order from Lian Shicheng and 500 soldiers.
The military order had already classified the River Sect as an evil sect. The Longbow Battalion was ordered to move out and eliminate the River Sect as quickly as possible to restore peace to Fish Dragon Town.
To put it bluntly, Lian Shicheng had deliberately sent people to cause trouble for the River Sect after suffering a great loss at the hands of Lin Xuan. He wanted to destroy Lin Xuan's foundation.
As for how Lian Shicheng knew about Lin Xuan's background, it was probably thanks to Ye Longyi.
Jin Fei was a late-stage True Energy Realm expert and was also Lian Shicheng's trusted aide. Following him were more than a dozen True Energy Realm experts and 500 elite soldiers.
This time, Jin Fei had come aggressively and clearly wanted to cause a big scene in Fish Dragon Town.
However, he didn't expect that the Longbow Battalion's commander, Mu Qingxue, would actually go against his wishes and refuse to send out troops.
If she waited any longer, Lin Xuan would probably return. At that time, the River Sect would have the help of the Magic Lotus Sect. It would be much more difficult to eliminate the River Sect.
Seeing that Mu Qingxue was evading him again, Jin Fei couldn't help but say angrily, "Hmph! In the end, aren't you just trying to stall for time? Mu Qingxue, are you really going to go against the General for the sake of a River Sect? "
Mu Qingxue sneered, "Sorry, I don't understand Vice Commander Jin's meaning! I'm only considering the actual situation. If we send out troops rashly, I won't be able to bear the responsibility if we lose! "
"You!"
Jin Fei gritted his teeth in anger, killing intent flashing in his eyes.
If he didn't know that this Commander Mu came from the imperial capital and had a prominent family background, he would have killed her and taken over her military power.
"Alright! Commander Mu, since you're afraid of war, then let your men stay in the camp! I, Jin Fei, am enough to suppress a small sect! Hmph! "
Jin Fei snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and left.
Mu Qingxue looked at his back as he left, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes.
The troops that Jin Fei brought this time were all battle-hardened elites at Spirit Body Level Six and above. There were even as many as twelve True Energy Realm experts. With the River Sect's strength, they wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
However, she still had a military position and couldn't do too much to help the River Sect.
Great River Castle. In the Hall of Loyalty.
Shi Wuque, Wang Xiong, Zhao Yanran, Zhao Kun, Shen Jianchuan, Jiang Hao, Lin Fan, Wang Dachuan, Lei Kun, Lin Hu, and the other high-ranking officials were all seated. Each of them had different expressions as they pondered.
