Free Web NovelChapter 475: Chapter 71: First Defeat
Li Mu frowned, "I know, but it should have already been relayed back to Youxiong, and now Jiu Li is attacking.
It’s unavoidable now."
Fang Lingyun said coolly, "Leader Xuanyuan, with his Holy Virtue, acts with Great Righteousness, that’s why the Youxiong Tribe has developed so quickly."
"Otherwise, how could Youxiong so quickly rival Jiu Li? Since it started like this, it’s bound to face repercussions."
"It’s not bad now. In this way, it can be considered as starting to shake off the influence of the Common Lord on Youxiong, it just needs more tribal propaganda."
"One can only say that the High Priest of Jiu Li is truly skilled, already setting up plans even before Jiu Li has officially waged war with Lie Mountain." Da Hong also nodded.
"Next, we can only trouble Ma Shihuang to change the tribe’s opinion of him through actions."
"Human prejudice is like a mountain, but it can be moved. Only actions can destroy it."
Everyone nodded at Fang Lingyun’s words.
"Besides, if he can do it, then we naturally can too. Although Jiu Li’s brutality is said to be in the past, it’s not non-existent."
"We need to continue promoting the Leader as the most suitable next Common Lord.
Moreover, the threat of Exotic Beasts is still present, and we can still promote the hatred between Exotic Beasts and the Human Race, with Jiu Li controlling them."
"Even though they claim control, who knows, Exotic Beasts could very well harm people..."
Li Mu pondered for a moment and nodded, in the past Wind Queen always arranged these things.
But Wind Queen is now with the Profound Lady Race, learning arrays, at the most crucial time.
Both sides’ opinions constantly clash, and while the air is thick with propaganda, their troops have already approached the frontline.
...
"Boom—!"
"Boom—!"
...
Continuous artillery fire roars fiercely at the Jiu Li frontline.
Zhang Qiushi hides in the cover, unable to resist saying to Lin Ruyan beside him, "I really didn’t expect in this place resembling ancient times.
To see artillery duels!"
"I didn’t expect it either, who could have predicted Shen... Xingzou would come to the Great Wilderness and turn into Jiu Li’s High Priest." Ye Ruyan couldn’t maintain her previous calm anymore.
"Ah, my camp mission was completed when annexing Lie Mountain, Shen Xingzou said if you complete the camp task and separation task.
You can retreat at the critical moment, it’s a pity that my merit isn’t enough to exchange for a Half-Mythical Profession."
Zhang Qiushi regretted, "If I had known Shen Xingzou was that amazing, back when you said take a chance to ride his coattails, I should’ve done it."
Ye Ruyan slightly nodded, "I completed it too, and I heard many others did, only Shen Xingzou could achieve it."
"In the past, venturing to the Ancient Secret Realm had no low death rates."
"Haha, now it’s attacking Youxiong, the more we kill, the more merit. Thinking we’re likely killing our own ancestors is really thrilling." Zhang Qiushi chuckled.
"Unbelievable humor." Ye Ruyan helplessly laughed, just as she was about to say something, she heard a loud shout, "Cultivators, move out!"
"It’s our turn, remember if anything dangerous happens, retreat immediately!" Lin Ruyan spoke.
"Got it!"
Next moment.
Cultivators and shamans poured out like rain from Jiu Li’s positions, with numerous green lights connecting everyone rushing out.
Among Youxiong, seeing this, Li Mu immediately mobilized their cultivator forces.
The two sides collided instantly, and within a flash, silhouettes were falling, into the artillery explosions.
"Is there really no damage at all?"
Li Mu saw that all the fallen cultivators were their own people, while Jiu Li’s cultivators and shamans, though injured, immediately healed under the protection of green light.
In the Youxiong camp.
Ma Shihuang suddenly furrowed his brows tightly, "Is this Master’s Law?"
"But the aura doesn’t seem like..."
Ma Shihuang soared up, seeing the cultivators connected by green light, and this aura felt familiar.
"Junior Brother?"
"Ma Shihuang, what’s happening? Could it be the Common Lord acted?"
Li Mu saw the green light almost enveloping the entire Jiuli Camp and felt shaken.
And that collision with almost no damage to Jiu Li.
Previously he indeed had little understanding of Medicine Immortals, but now it seems.
Medicine Immortals are much more useful in war than other cultivators.
They can greatly reduce damage.
"In the past only Master could reach this level, but this aura is not Master..." Ma Shihuang frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Jiu Li.
Quickly, he saw the source of all green light, "Junior Brother?"
Seeing it originated from Medicine Ancestor, Ma Shihuang was visibly surprised.
Even though he knew this junior brother was special, had a strong understanding of the Medicine Immortal Dao.
"He has Law within him, you say he’s your Junior Brother... but he’s just Harmonization of Dao.
Harmonization yet already grasping Law." Li Mu raised an eyebrow seeing Ma Shihuang’s words.
Now Youxiong Tribe has Medicine Immortals, at that time following Ma Shihuang over.
But a Harmonized Medicine Immortal shouldn’t achieve this level.
However, this Harmonized Medicine Immortal clearly mastered ’Law’.
If those from Cultivation Dao Lineage, given their profound foundation.
Might achieve this, but this one was originally from Lie Mountain Medicine Immortal.
If it could be done, Lie Mountain couldn’t have been annexed by Jiu Li.
"I’m afraid this Shen Yao has something to do with Master’s recovery, his comprehended Law is akin to Master’s."
Ma Shihuang’s eyes flashed with jealousy, though he reached Human Immortal, he struggled with his comprehension.
Back at Harmonization, he was stuck for long periods.
Yet oddly this Shen Yao, in a short span, comprehended Law, as long as he follows steps can become immortal.
Master’s blatant favoritism.
The guilt of escaping Lie Mountain faded at this moment.
"Whatever happens, now what do we do? With him there, we can’t inflict any damage."
Li Mu said, within a short time Youxiong advanced ten miles as a buffer zone, pushed back halfway now.
Even in the sky’s cultivator battle, fell into disadvantage swiftly.
"Let’s defend with the array, have earth-element cultivators rapidly construct a city at the mountain pass, hold with the city as base!"
Chi Songzi shook his head, knowing immortals can’t directly intervene in sub-immortal battles.
At most use Immortal Techniques to alter war’s course, not directly harm.
Otherwise, Human Immortal could annihilate all sub-immortal life.
But precisely because of this.
Now, they cannot entangle Shen Yao.
Understanding Law at Harmonization itself is unprecedented.
"It must be done then, retreat." Li Mu didn’t expect the first resistance to fail so quickly.
Although the task, primarily defensive, but Li Mu believed.
With newly researched weaponry and array changes, battling for a while.
Yet contrary, Jiu Li’s ultimate weapon proves far superior.
