Walter asked the question with lingering doubts.
"Although divination is a mysterious art, it is not accurate enough to predict events on the battlefield. I received a message from the general before, information about the Ascension Mist... an unexpected surprise attack."
Fu Xuan said this.
The word "surprise soldier" in the answer made Walter instantly go through the entire train regiment in his mind.
Only Starry Sky could pull off something like this without anyone noticing!
It is highly likely that the damage was intentionally caused by accident while searching for the crystal.
It's no wonder Walter has a stereotype about the Starry Sky; it's just that the two gray-haired creatures have a long list of past offenses.
"On behalf of the many Cloud Cavalry warriors, I thank you both."
Fu Xuan's attitude was solemn and sincere, and his gaze toward the Dragon God was filled with gratitude and recognition.
Jing Yuan had urgent matters to prepare for immediately, and he didn't say much about the surprise force, which led Fu Xuan to mistakenly believe that the surprise force the general was referring to was the train regiment.
If anyone else encountered this, they would definitely inform the Divine Strategy Bureau. Only Xing Qiong and Fu Xuan were uncertain, so if we work backwards, it must be the two of them.
Despite the fact that these two gray-haired creatures have serious brain problems, it must be said that destroying the Ascension Pills helped the Cloud Cavalry a lot!
As the encirclement and suppression operation began, Fu Xuan remained doubtful. The fact that the Medicine King had given up a century of hiding and chose to reveal himself now indicated that he was confident of victory.
However, the actual battle went exceptionally smoothly.
It wasn't until Jing Yuan contacted her that Fu Xuan learned that the Medicine King's secret recipe had prepared an entire medicine storehouse of Ascension Pills to deal with the Cloud Cavalry.
When Fu Xuan first heard the news, his face turned pale.
So many Ascension Pills are enough to cripple 80% of the Cloud Cavalry!
If these 80% of the Cloud Riders lose their minds, fall into demonic possession, and start causing destruction, the entire Immortal Ship will be plunged into unprecedented chaos!
Fortunately, Jing Yuan later added that the threat of the Ascension Pill had been resolved by a surprise attack, and the pill was now only enough to sustain one more battle.
Fu Xuancai felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
Although the spreading mist of ascension only covered the area of one prefecture, it would still be very troublesome under normal circumstances.
But now the Immortal Ship has a surprise force that has come by chance!
The Ascension Mist is ineffective against short-lived species.
Fu Xuan originally planned to ask Walter and March 7 to go deep into the mansion to shut down the alchemy furnace, but after she made the request, Qiong said that there was a more efficient way.
By having the Bird God use the wind to draw the smoke and mist into the sea, the future troubles can be eliminated directly. Otherwise, even if the alchemy furnace is shut down, the smoke that has already been generated will not disappear.
If it drifts out of the Dan Ding Si Cave Heaven, it may affect innocent civilians.
"Forehead……"
Inside the Dragon God's interior, Xing scratched his head, looking slightly bewildered.
Although it was indeed Qiongzai who suggested that Ah Qi resolve the smoke issue, what are the Underground Cave and the Destruction of the Ascension Pill Powder?
She didn't know!
"Qiongzai, have we ever done that kind of thing?"
Xing nudged her younger brother next to her with her elbow.
"Don't you know whether you've ever done it yourself?"
Qiong glanced at the adorable gray-haired girl with dead fish eyes.
Although it's unclear how Dan Shu could pin the blame on them, Lao Yang and Fu Xuan's reasoning, while flawed in its elements and process, was correct in its conclusion.
"I'll do it then, you're really awesome!"
Xing stands with her hands on her hips, always ready to throw away the pot and claim credit for any achievement—that's her virtue!
Perhaps it was her unintentional act that saved tens of thousands of Cloud Riders?
This damned Star Core Essence is so sweet!
Qiong vigorously ruffled the girl's long, soft hair, which felt incredibly smooth like raccoon fur, before giving an answer to the outside world.
"Damaged the cave? What cave? I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense, it was my friend who did it."
The friend in question is naturally Li Sushang.
Qiong first laid the groundwork for their future relationship.
But those words, which seemed to be trying to distance themselves from the situation, only confirmed to Lao Yang that Xingqiong had gotten into trouble while searching for the crystal to open the treasure chest.
Thus began the "I Have a Friend" series.
"You won't admit it?"
Dan Shu's tone turned cold, and his empty, colorless eyes began to glow with a bluish-gold hue, representing life and nobility, as the Ascension Pill took effect.
New buds break through the soil, and branches brimming with abundant power grow from beside the base of the cinnabar tree, transforming into a golden scepter.
"Then let me show you what our ancestors of the Immortal Ship accomplished and the glory they once possessed!"
With an angry and gradually rising tone, Dan Shu's body rose into the air, surrounded by swirling currents, his dew-laden feather robe fluttering, making him appear like a celestial being.
"This is... the posture of receiving dew described in ancient books!?"
Fu Xuan's expression changed when he saw Dan Shu switch to the Jade Feet form.
"If you don't understand, just ask: what is the posture of receiving dew?"
Xing raised an eyebrow.
"In ancient times, seekers comprehended profound truths from the Jianmu tree and called themselves immortals. They molded flesh and blood beings like clay, and in countless transformations, they forgot their original appearance and revealed the power of the Jianmu tree in their essence, which is the form of receiving dew."
Fu Xuan spoke with a rather serious expression.
"I heard from the general that the Medicine King has secretly recreated the Ascension Pill from ancient texts. You... could it be that..."
"The general certainly has ears everywhere."
Dan Shu said in a cold tone, "That's right, and I'm not the only one who has taken the Ascension Pill."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Medicine King cultivators who were waiting in ambush behind Dan Shu all swelled up, revealing their immortal bodies and transforming into ferocious and abundant shape refiners.
The golden leaves shimmered, and a shimmering light seemed to condense behind his head, making him appear both solemn and incredibly strange.
Unlike the demonic soldiers the train regiment had faced before, these guys were extraordinary in both size and appearance.
"So many people have actually taken the Ascension Pill!"
Fu Xuan's expression turned serious; she had seen similar descriptions in ancient books.
Even in the ancient times, few people could cultivate to become a Heavenly Human, and the state of these members of the Medicine King Organization in front of them is a sign of entering the next stage of evolution.
With a mere gesture, they could transform the trees and thorns around them into spears, whips, and shields, thus unlocking the secret of immortality.
"I didn't think they were any different from the demonic spirits I'd encountered before."
The star swelled as it raised the Sword King's Sword.
An elite cultivator, a disciple of the Medicine King's secret lineage, hurled a golden spear, transformed from Xuanmu wood, at the Dragon God.
Each of the evolved Abundant Transformers is nearly three meters tall, and their golden spears are nearly four meters long, yet they appear as small nails before the forty-meter-long greatsword.
The longsword that struck the Dragon God's arm only sparked a few flecks before the Shapeshifter was cleaved in two by the Sword King's sword in the next second.
Seeing the cultivator's injuries healing at a visible speed, Qiong raised an eyebrow:
"Is the Danfu (lower abdomen) no longer a weakness?"
That sword cleaved through the internal organs; if it were a celestial being or an ordinary demonic cultivator, they would either die immediately or not live long, their recovery ability would plummet.
But these guys can still recover.
More than thirty demonic evolutionists launched a fierce attack.
"There are no immortals on the celestial ship. What abundant miracles, what manipulation of life and death? Your actions are nothing but the deeds of monsters!"
With a bright, radiant eye between his brows, Fu Xuan stepped forward, his fingertips flashing with light as he made a hand seal.
The array plate unfolded from the spot where the feet touched, rapidly expanding to encompass the entire Guanyi Terrace.
Some of the demonic Yin Evolvers who stepped into the formation suddenly slowed down, as if they had been frozen in place!
Qiong tapped his head and scratched it: "Luanjin Tuo?"
To be honest, the pinkish-purple array plate blooming under Fu Xuan's feet looks quite like the Feng Hou Qi Men.
"The Grand Diviner has some impressive skills!"
'Tingyun' cheered them on from behind.
Dan Shu's eyes narrowed, and he raised the golden scepter, from which a completely opposite gray-black aura gathered.
"Mysterious Qi Curse, Devouring Body!"
That is the mysterious energy that causes plants to wither. If the mysterious energy is extracted, the plants will become evergreen, while people who are devoured by the mysterious energy will lose their vitality and grow old.
“I will hold them off; they are yours to handle… Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, and their interactions.”
Fu Xuan changed his hand seals, the array plate shifted, and the great array glowed with purple light to block the Xuan Qi from devouring his body.
The demonic evolutionists who had been suppressed were now free to move around.
"Let it wither away."
Seele wielded the Black Abyss, and the extremely restrained yet abundant power of decay immediately attracted Dan Shu's attention.
"May the Jianmu tree endure forever, and may the Xuanlong protect me!"
With a loud shout, the roots of the Jianmu tree in the Dan Ding Division began to twist and mutate, its branches taking on a form, roaring like a monstrous dragon, and tearing at the crowd with a strangling motion.
"Leave it to me!"
Walter piloted the Ares, his swords crossed to fend off the grotesque and twisted Evil Dragon Tree.
"I'm back!"
The Bird God flapped its wings, unleashing divine wind blades and blasting out light bullets, showcasing its aerial firepower suppression.
While confronting Fu Xuan, Dan Shu glanced back at the outside world and saw that the area outside Guanyi Terrace had become a battlefield.
Damn it! Damn it!
Lacking the command of these high-ranking officers and being far outnumbered by the Cloud Cavalry, the Medicine King's Secret Sect was already at a complete disadvantage, and its collapse was imminent.
With the opponent still having one more Demon God Mech to use, her side was already at a crushing disadvantage, with no hope of winning whatsoever.
Just as Dan Shu was about to call out to the Great Lord of Annihilation, the black and gold-painted demonic mech moved, raising high the longsword that terrified the demonic Yin Evolvers.
"Dragon Ascension Sword!"
It cleaved down with the force of splitting the heavens and earth.
To everyone's astonishment, including friend and foe, the target of this sword strike was—the fox-girl hiding behind the Dragon God!
PS:
313
Chapter 313 They've come to deceive, they've come to ambush!
The black sword, radiating brilliant golden energy lines, slashed down, and the space seemed to be torn open like flesh, appearing as a distorted, dark glow to the naked eye.
—The clouds parted.
The sudden turn of events caught most of the people present off guard.
"Miss Tingyun!"
March 7 blinked in confusion, not understanding why Xingqiong suddenly attacked Tingyun.
She watched helplessly as the delicate fox-woman was cleaved in two by a forty-meter-long sword, her beautiful face frozen in shock and disbelief.
"What happened? Is there infighting?"
Dan Shu, who was using the Xuan Qi Incantation to confront Fu Xuan, was drawn to the commotion behind him, and his attention was briefly diverted.
Knowing Huanlong's identity, Fu Xuanfa's eyes flashed. Taking advantage of the moment when Dan Shu was distracted, the pink-purple array encompassed all the withered gray-black Xuan Qi.
As Fu Xuan extended his palm, the great formation seemed to be held in his hand, transforming into a ball of light.
