Free Web NovelChapter 584: Chapter 532: Taixuan Mine
Zhao Fuyi and Jiang Yuebai had just finished repairing the City Defense Great Array when a male and female Nascent Soul Cultivator arrived, saying that this time the Demon Clan was launching a full-scale attack, with heavy pressure in various places. The reinforcements from the Ziwei Star Alliance for Songfeng City were still on their way and would arrive soon.
Yinn Shuwei said nothing and introduced the two to Zhao Fuyi, also informing them about Zhao Fuyi and Jiang Yuebai’s timely support in repelling the Blood Demon army.
Zhao Fuyi and Yinn Shuwei had met in another realm. This time, when the Demon Clan broke through the Taiwei Star Alliance’s defenses and invaded various realms of the Ziwei Star Alliance, Yinn Shuwei temporarily took over as the City Lord of Songfeng City. Fearing the alliance’s heavy burden, she had invited Zhao Fuyi to come and assist early on.
The Divinity Transformation Cultivator and Refining Void Cultivator of the Heavenly Interference Sect originally belonged to the Beidou Star Alliance, and they came after receiving recruitment tasks from the Ziwei Star Alliance.
Zhao Fuyi was helping a friend on one hand, and on the other, he was looking for a suitable location in the various realms of the Ziwei Star Alliance for the Heavenly Interference Sect to establish a sect. Other members of the sect were working hard elsewhere for the same goal.
It didn’t necessarily have to be in the Heavenly Spear Realm. The Ziwei Star Alliance had a total of sixty-seven Constant Realms, all of which could be assessed.
Compared to the major realms of the Taiwei Star Alliance facing the Demon Abyss directly, the Ziwei Star Alliance was in a central location, and as long as there was a counterattack this time to help the Taiwei Star Alliance improve its defenses, the realms under the Ziwei Star Alliance would be relatively safe.
Before the Demon Realm’s invasion, the territories in the various realms under the Ziwei Star Alliance were owned, and rash occupation would not be appropriate, nor would the Star Alliance allow it.
But after a major war, some originally owned places would become unclaimed, and if the Heavenly Interference Sect’s contributions were sufficient, applying to the Ziwei Star Alliance for a territory to establish a sect would be no problem.
Today, Zhao Fuyi and Jiang Yuebai paved a good path for the Heavenly Interference Sect.
In the mostly collapsed City Lord’s Mansion, Yinn Shuwei led Zhao Fuyi, Jiang Yuebai, and the two Nascent Soul Cultivators to the only intact main hall.
Yinn Shuwei kept glancing at Jiang Yuebai. Jiang Yuebai, poised and composed, followed by Zhao Fuyi’s side.
"Why isn’t the other person here?" Yinn Shuwei asked, referring to Bai Jiuyou.
Jiang Yuebai smiled and said, "My junior sister has some peculiarities and doesn’t like to interact with people, so I let her wander around to check for any Blood Demons hiding nearby."
Yinn Shuwei nodded and asked no further questions, allowing everyone to sit as they pleased in the hall.
Jiang Yuebai nodded to the two Nascent Soul Cultivators across from her and sat down beside Zhao Fuyi.
The two Nascent Soul Cultivators were overseers of the Ziwei Star Alliance in the Heavenly Spear Realm, responsible for moving between various cities, collecting intelligence, deploying armies, and acting as temporary reinforcements.
The man was called Xi Guangsheng, a middle-aged man with a beard, looking steady and reliable, with Late-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation.
The woman was named Ruan Qing, with a naturally smiling face, looking very kind, with Mid-Stage Nascent Soul Cultivation.
After sitting down, the two briefly updated Yinn Shuwei on the battle situation elsewhere. The Demon Clan had opened a void channel outside the Heavenly Spear Realm, making a massive invasion that caught the realm off guard.
Currently, one-third of the Heavenly Spear Realm is already in the hands of the Demon Clan, including many spiritual fields, mines, and other resource-rich areas.
Today’s Demon Clan’s general offensive saw the Heavenly Spear Realm seemingly held, and next, the Ziwei Star Alliance intended to rally and recover these resource points before the Demon Clan could destroy them.
Xi Guangsheng waved his hand, creating a map light in the center of the hall, highlighting three points.
"...Songfeng, Jingyang, and Shengwu, these three cities focus mainly on these few mines in the Taixuan Mountain Range. This is also the only vein in the Heavenly Spear Realm that produces Taixuan Gold, now heavily guarded by the Demon army."
Taixuan Gold?
On hearing these words, Jiang Yuebai, who was silently calculating numerology in her mind, immediately brightened and leaned forward slightly.
Taixuan Pure Gold derives from Taixuan Gold, akin to Top-Grade Spiritual Stone compared to ordinary Spirit Stone, it’s the essence of Taixuan Gold and her main purpose in coming to the Heavenly Spear Realm.
Yinn Shuwei pondered, "Does the Ziwei Star Alliance mean for our three cities to unite and reclaim the Taixuan mountain mines?"
Xi Guangsheng and Ruan Qing both nodded.
Ruan Qing said, "That’s what the Star Alliance intends, but this matter cannot be rushed. It’s crucial to first secure the three cities completely, then carefully plan. But before that..."
Ruan Qing paused, and Xi Guangsheng also looked troubled, saying, "The situation over in Jingyang and Shengwu City is not much better than Songfeng City. We initially wanted to ask True Venerable Shuwei to send a scouting team to first investigate the demonic situation in the Taixuan Mountain Range, but now..."
Yinn Shuwei frowned. As the City Lord, she couldn’t leave Songfeng City, nor was it appropriate to send Zhao Fuyi. Currently, the city’s great array and the subsequent connection of the three-city arrays would depend on Zhao Fuyi.
Although she had several usable Golden Core Cultivators under her, without a Nascent Soul Cultivator leading, they would likely be sent to their deaths.
At this time, Jiang Yuebai secretly poked Zhao Fuyi, transmitting a message quietly.
"Let me go, I’m willing to go!"
Zhao Fuyi glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Jiang Yuebai quickly composed herself, assuming a reliable demeanor.
Zhao Fuyi couldn’t help but smirk, then quickly concealed it.
"Senior Sister Shuwei, my martial niece is quite capable. Why not let her take a look at the Taixuan Mountain Range?"
Zhao Fuyi spoke, and Yinn Shuwei immediately felt relieved. In truth, she had considered Jiang Yuebai and her junior sister but felt it inappropriate to ask since they were not her people and the task was dangerous.
Yinn Shuwei looked at Jiang Yuebai, "Is that...okay?"
Jiang Yuebai immediately stood and cupped her hands, "Rest assured, True Venerable Shuwei, Wangshu shall not fail the mission!"
Xi Guangsheng and Ruan Qing exchanged glances, a bit worried. Although Yinn Shuwei had said Jiang Yuebai and her junior sister alone resisted a demonic army of tens of thousands, Xi Guangsheng and Ruan Qing hadn’t seen it firsthand and felt it might be Yinn Shuwei and Zhao Fuyi embellishing their juniors.
After all, wartime was the best opportunity for fame.
Xi Guangsheng said, "This matter is significant. True Venerable Shuwei should have trusted subordinates attend. I am not questioning, just that True Venerable Fuyi and True Monarch Wangshu are still people of the Beidou Star Alliance."
Hearing this, Yinn Shuwei angrily retorted, "At times like this, we are all Human Clan Cultivators. Does the Star Alliance still distinguish between us? If you don’t trust her, I, Yinn Shuwei, will take full responsibility for any problems!"
Ruan Qing signaled to Xi Guangsheng, then turned to Yinn Shuwei and a stern-faced Zhao Fuyi with a smile.
"Two True Venerables, please do not take offense. My senior brother was only worried about her unfamiliarity with the Heavenly Spear Realm’s terrain."
Then, Ruan Qing looked at Jiang Yuebai, smiling, "I have a higher cultivation than you, so I will take the liberty to call you junior sister. Do you understand the mission and its risks?"
Jiang Yuebai replied confidently, "Of course I understand. It’s a scout mission, to figure out the Demon Clan’s deployment in the Taixuan Mountain Range, troop movement frequency, etc., and relay timely information to the rear."
Yinn Shuwei added, "Rest assured, I will send trusted Golden Core Disciples to accompany her."
Ruan Qing looked at Xi Guangsheng, who said nothing more. Ruan Qing said, "Very well."
Ruan Qing stood and cupped her hands to Jiang Yuebai, "Then we’ll entrust Junior Sister Wangshu. Be careful and prioritize your safety. Wait for the three cities to regroup, and when the time comes to attack the Taixuan Mountain Range, we will rely on Junior Sister Wangshu to lead the way."
Jiang Yuebai returned the gesture.
She would not only scout the Demon Clan’s situation on this trip but also infiltrate them!
Her true goal was the Taixuan Pure Gold deep within the mining veins!
