The huge body of the Dragon of Calamity lay motionless on the snowy peak. From afar, it looked like a huge statue.
Many soldiers of the Resistance Army, especially some women and children, knelt before the Dragon of Calamity as if they were praying for something.
Today, the Black Dragon Mountain was especially lively. Everywhere was filled with laughter, lanterns, and colored banners.
This was because their god, who belonged to Atlantis, had returned.
At the highest point of the Black Dragon Mountains, in the stone hall that originally belonged to the Underworld Sect, the higher-ups of the Resistance Army had gathered.
Zhu Bang sat in a wheelchair and looked at Zuo Qingcang in front of him with excitement. Beside him, Ah Yue was pushing the wheelchair for him.
Feng Hou sat in the corner of the hall while Zuo Qingcang sat on the main seat. A middle-aged man in a white robe was kneeling in front of him. It was the current leader of the Pale-White Guards, Joe.
He was also a martial arts powerhouse who had been personally taught by Zuo Qingcang more than 20 years ago.
As one of the core forces of Atlantis, the Pale-White Guards were the tip of the blade that charged into the most dangerous areas. Naturally, they had also been under tremendous pressure during the 20 years of war. Although there were many selections and personnel replacements, the relative losses were still the greatest.
However, because of this, every Pale-White Guard who was still alive clearly possessed great strength, rich experience, and skillful killing techniques.
"Sir." Joe knelt on one knee and reported, "Including me, there are a total of 31 Pale-White Guards. 27 of them can fight, and 4 of them are seriously injured."
As the first generation of the Pale-White Guards, Joe was able to survive the 20 years of war and become the leader of the Pale-White Guards. Naturally, he possessed strength that far exceeded that of ordinary people.
This man, who was called the White Reaper by the Empire's military on the battlefield, looked like an ordinary 40-year-old uncle. However, everyone present could sense the murderous aura that was deeply hidden in his body.
This was a top-notch killer.
As Zuo Qingcang scanned with his left eye, Fang Xingjian's body seemed to have been trained to the limits of the human body. This required him to spend over five hours of training every day, and it required a will as strong as steel, self-discipline, and execution ability.
"You've condensed a martial arts Dharma body?" Zuo Qingcang asked casually.
"Yes." Charle replied. Ten years ago, during an assassination attempt, the twelve Pale-White Praetorian Guards he led were ambushed by the imperial army. In the end, he was the only one who survived.
He stumbled all the way out of the encirclement and finally collapsed in a bamboo forest.
When he woke up three days later, he discovered that he was already different from the others. He had condensed a Martial Arts Dharma Body during the trial of life and death.
"Let me see," Zuo Qingcang said.
"Yes, sir." As Charle spoke, a pitch-black figure appeared behind him. It was a tall and slender figure. His entire body was wrapped in a layer of black mist.
This figure was obviously condensed from Zuo Qingcang's image. However, perhaps Charle was too respectful of Zuo Qingcang, or perhaps he did not allow himself to casually blaspheme Zuo Qingcang's image. In the end, he condensed a Martial Arts Dharma Body that was similar to Zuo Qingcang's.
It represented his longing and reverence for Zuo Qingcang. The two contradictory feelings mixed together.
Zuo Qingcang nodded and said, "Open your mouth."
Although he did not know what Zuo Qingcang wanted to do, Charle still opened his mouth without hesitation.
The Mouth of the Underworld in Zuo Qingcang's hand suddenly opened, and a strange gray piece of meat floated out. When the meat appeared, it was already wrapped in Qi.
Then, Zuo Qingcang's fingers did not move, and the black flame lifted the gray piece of meat directly into Joe's mouth.
"This is!" Ah Yue's eyes widened.
"Life cluster." Zhu Bang said calmly, and the corner of his mouth unknowingly curled up.
Zuo Qingcang had taught his disciples the method of transplanting life clusters more than 20 years ago. However, because the entire New World had been plundered by him, there were not many life clusters left.
In addition, when Zuo Qingcang taught them, he did not allow them to spread the method of transplanting life clusters, and asked them to keep it a secret. Therefore, they had only transplanted the life clusters into their own bodies all these years.
Even so, none of the five could complete their own life clusters.
This was because there were fewer and fewer life clusters in this era, and the development of Dao techniques was declining.
When Zuo Qingcang returned to Charle's side, he saw that the black essential origin was like a living monster, dashing into Charle's body along with the life cluster. Although a hint of surprise flashed in Charle's eyes, he still did not put up any resistance toward Zuo Qingcang's actions.
The next moment, his body was lifted up by the Qi of Qi, and there was a tearing sound coming from his body. After a few muffled groans, the Qi of Qi of Qi suddenly dispersed, and he fell to the ground.
"Ugh …" As he fell to the ground, Charle opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, mixed with small pieces of flesh.
"Do you know what I gave you?" Zuo Qingcang asked.
"I don't know."
"Life cluster Shadow Escape."
Charle's eyes widened, and he stared at his hands that were pressed on the ground. He saw that the palms of his hands had unknowingly turned black, and slowly became shadows that merged into the ground.
"The highest level of Shadow Escape can allow you to transform into shadows everywhere, use it well."
"Yes, sir."
Zuo Qingcang turned his head to look at Ah Yue and Zhu Bang, and waved his hand, saying, "Both of you, come up."
Seeing that Ah Yue had pushed Zhu Bang's wheelchair before him, Zuo Qingcang stood up and pressed his palms on their heads, saying, "Not bad."
In the blink of an eye, he had already understood which life clusters the two of them had transplanted over the years, and also knew which life clusters they were still lacking.
However, Ah Yue and Zhu Bang did not just need to transplant one or two life clusters. Therefore, Zuo Qingcang did not do what he had done earlier, where he directly used Qi of Qi of Qi of Qi to enter their bodies to perform the minimally invasive surgery.
He only said, "I'll give you some life clusters later, and you can transplant them yourselves."
Then he turned his head and looked at Geo, who only had his head and a bit of his body left, saying, "How did you end up like this? Forget it, do you have a way to recover yourself? "
"No, if I want the relevant skills, I'll have to make a trip back to the Longevity Demon Palace."
"Not now, let's wait." Hearing Zuo Qingcang's words, Geo did not say anything else.
Then Zuo Qingcang tossed the True Red Mage Robe that Hussein had left behind to the Wind Empress, saying, "I don't need this. It's yours."
Seeing how the few of them were looking at him, Zuo Qingcang said calmly, "I know that you guys want to take revenge, but this isn't a matter of killing one or two people. We need to do a lot of work.
"Therefore, I'll be going out for a while. Use the things I've given you to raise your strength. I'll get the Dragon of Calamity to stay here to help you guys.
"Also … Tell everyone you can find that I'm back. Get them to make a trip back to the Black Dragon Mountain."
