Born to Fight
As soon as he finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence. Then, Wu Jing Xue burst out laughing. He did not try to hide the sneer in his voice.
"Using the Jingtian Army as the main force to go to the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Wind Palace to buy time to condense the Black Hole Slaves is a good idea, but it's a bit whimsical." Wu Jingxue abruptly stopped laughing. His gaze towards Chu Xingyun was already filled with coldness. Even though the nineteen Black Hole Sword Slaves were present, he was still the same.
"Chu Xingyun, my soul hasn't disappeared because of the Divine Book of Reincarnation. My half-human, half-snake body was also condensed by you. It's no exaggeration to say that I, Wu Jing Xue, am alive because of you. If you live, I live. If you die, I die. But this doesn't mean that I will submit to you."
"On the contrary, I, Wu Jing Xue, will never submit to anyone. Even the high and mighty Martial Emperor or the legendary Martial Emperor can't make me submit to him."
Wu Jing Xue puffed out his chest and his body trembled. A purple light broke through the air and turned into a huge Evil Jiao Dragon. It circled around him and his aura suddenly changed.
"If I'm like this, so is the Jingtian Army. If you want to command me and make the Jingtian Army a sacrifice in the war, I advise you to stop. The Jingtian Army and I live to fight, and in the end, we will only die in the war!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Evil Jiao Dragon, Wu Ling, flew into the sky and let out a loud roar. Wu Jing Xue took a deep look at Chu Xingyun, then turned around and was about to stride out of the courtyard.
"Wait!" Chu Xingyun immediately called out. However, Wu Jing Xue did not stop. Every step was filled with determination.
Swoosh!
Just as Wu Jing Xue was about to leave the courtyard, a sound broke through the air. Wu Jing Xue frowned and waved his right hand to catch something.
Wu Jing Xue opened his palm and saw a black scroll lying quietly in his palm. At the same time, Chu Xingyun's voice slowly sounded, "You will understand everything after you open the scroll."
Hearing Chu Xingyun's words, Wu Jing Xue's expression changed. He immediately opened the black scroll.
There was a map drawn on the scroll. On the map, there were some markings. On the left and right sides of the map, there were a few lines of text. It was very ordinary, and there was nothing special about it.
However, when Wu Jing Xue saw the map, he suddenly held his breath. His pupils shrank as he looked at it carefully. Every word, every stroke, was very serious. He was afraid that he would miss something.
"The place drawn on the scroll is called Soaring Goose Pass. It is the junction between the east and west of the Northern Wilderness Region. If the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace want to attack, they will definitely pass through here," Chu Xingyun explained.
He walked toward Wu Jing Xue and said, "Just like its name, the Soaring Goose Pass' terrain is like a wild goose flying in the sky. The two sides are continuous mountain ranges that are hundreds of miles long. The mountains are steep and dangerous. Only the mountain path in the middle is unobstructed on both sides."
"As long as we take advantage of the terrain and set up defenses in advance, we will be able to outnumber them. This will delay the battle and provide enough time for us to collect cultivation resources."
Wu Jing Xue had been through hundreds of battles. He could easily understand what Chu Xingyun said.
Soaring Goose Pass was an important border area that connected the east and west. Only the mountain path in the middle was unobstructed. This mountain path was not wide. It was easy to defend and hard to attack.
As long as Soaring Goose Pass was defended, the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace would not be able to exert their strength. On the other hand, Wanjian Pavilion could make up the difference and balance the combat power of the two sides.
"The narrow terrain is not good for the army to press the border, but it is good for the Jingtian Army to charge. 3,000 swords for attack and 3,000 Star Pattern Armors for defense. It is not something the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace can resist."
Chu Xingyun did not stop talking. He continued, "After this Beast Tide is suppressed, I will send all the forces of the Eighteen Dynasties and the Eighteen Ancient Cities to Soaring Goose Pass. They will follow your orders and confuse the enemy."
It had to be said that Chu Xingyun's plan was perfect. Relying on the strategic terrain of Soaring Goose Pass, he could forcibly block the attack of the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace and relieve the pressure of the war.
Moreover, his move exposed all the combat power in his hands. It was easy for the Daluo Golden Sect and the Divine Firmament Palace to make the wrong judgment and think that this was all Chu Xingyun's strength. They would then let down their guard.
"The arrangements I have made are just a prototype. I still need to plan in detail how to deploy them." Chu Xingyun's expression changed slightly and his tone softened. He said, "As for you and the Jingtian Army, I have never wanted to enslave you, let alone use you as a sacrifice and order you around."
"Back then, what you said at the Qitian Peak resonated with me. That's why I spent a lot of stone forging materials to refine you into a half-human, half-snake body and recast the 3,000 Jingtian Army."
"Although there is a big age gap between you and me, there is no age in Jianghu. I have long regarded you as a companion through life and death. You are the same, as are Senior Lin and Senior Mo."
Chu Xingyun's words made Wu Jing Xue suddenly turn around. His tiger-like eyes darkened and flashed with a strange light.
He could clearly sense that Chu Xingyun's words were not hypocritical. Chu Xingyun also sensed his gaze, and did not evade. Instead, he met Chu Xingyun's gaze with sincerity. With a smile on his face, he said, "How about this battle? Are you interested?"
Wu Jing Xue lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he raised his head and said, "I have been in the army for decades. I have fought many battles with many people. However, this battle is quite interesting. I will accept it."
After that, Wu Jing Xue put the black scroll into his storage ring. Without saying anything, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard with his head held high. Even though he was far away, his hearty laughter could still be heard.
Looking at Wu Jing Xue's back, Chu Xingyun also smiled and sighed.
In his eyes, Wu Jing Xue was like a wolf king, and the Jingtian Army was like a pack of wolves. They wandered in the wilderness and lived only for war and killing. They never stopped and did not care to stop.
In the past, Wu Jing Xue was willing to stay at the Qitian Peak just to fight with the Wanjian Pavilion.
Similarly, he traveled thousands of miles to the Ancient Star Sect just to fight and suppress the unrest in the Eighteen Ancient Cities.
This time, Wu Jingxue's opponents were the even more powerful Divine Firmament Palace and Daluo Golden Sect. The location of the final battle was Yanxiang Pass, the one in ten thousand battle grounds.
How could Wu Jing Xue, who lived for war, give up?
"I live for war and die for war. In my previous life, I was the same. But in this life, I will only fight for Liuxiang!"
While thinking, Chu Xingyun put his hands behind his back and slowly walked out of the courtyard. He looked up and focused on the scorching sun that was gradually setting in the west. His eyes were shining as if he was thinking about something.
Outside the city, the roars of beasts shook the sky. The killing did not stop.
Inside the city, it was noisy and chaotic.
