Chapter 177: Chapter 162: My General Helps Every Dream (4000+ Asking for Monthly Tickets)_2

He knew that this man named Qian Kun was not any reckless fellow, but seized the opportunity right after his failed breakthrough, when his internal breath was unstable, deliberately spewing nonsense to enrage him, forcing him to take action.

Then, with thoughts of defeating him, either to avenge past grievances or to step over the reputation of the Shushan Chief Disciple and rise in position, his schemes were undoubtedly profound.

But if he didn’t make a move, allowing this man to rant, he, as the Chief Disciple, would tarnish the reputation of the Shushan Sword Sect.

"Hum"

Chill light condensed in his eyes, and a sword sound erupted from within him, piercing the sky.

A ferocious wind stirred around, causing his clothes to flutter noisily.

In the next second, a sharp Sword Intent burst out from his body, shooting into the sky, as if he himself had transformed into a sharp sword!

Seeing this, Qian Kun narrowed his eyes, which flickered with a sharp light.

Good, just as he wished.

He laughed heartily, "Want to fight? I’ll accompany you to the end. Let’s see what this so-called Shushan Chief Disciple is made of."

Saying so, he stomped his feet, his robust body swelling as a ferocious breath erupted from within him, and strands of bronze color rapidly spread, climbing from his neck to his face, forming an eerie tattoo that made his skin surface gleam with a metallic luster.

The aura of two Peak Profound Bodies rose suddenly, and the atmosphere instantly became as tense as a drawn bow.

Following that, two figures swiftly rose!

"The fight is starting!" someone whispered lowly.

The surrounding figures instantly focused their attention.

But just then, a crisp sound of horse hooves suddenly came.

"Clip-clop"

"Clip-clop"

On top of Yunding Mountain, a black horse was seen stepping on flying banners, descending through the air.

Atop it, an Armored Soldier with a chilling aura galloped straight toward this courtyard!

"Neighhhhhh"

With a long neigh, the horse reared its hooves.

The Armored Soldier above pulled the reins, his body lifting upward, head tilting to the side, his piercing gaze looked down, his voice commanding:

"Convey the order of my General."

"Ji Wuming!"

Below, Ji Wuming, who was bursting with Sword Qi, recognizing this stern-eyed, extraordinary aura Armored Soldier, remembered yesterday outside Jingguan City, greeting the Ninth Mountain’s Colonel and his troops at the forefront.

Suddenly thinking of something, his expression slightly shocked, immediately halted his Sword Qi, bowed with cupped hands,

"Present!"

"You were just challenging the barrier, the General saw it. The General does not wish to see such talent from Shu fall into decline, especially now, when demons are lurking around. He has specially sent me with an item to aid you!"

Immediately, Yun Tiansheng spoke, tossing something from his hand.

The next second, a "caw caw" of sharp crowing shockingly split the air.

Two bundles of red Blood Light surged with the wind, quickly transforming into two black birds about the size of a yard each, surrounded by bloody light, spiraling down and finally turning into two drops of Blood Essence, about the size of jujube seeds, shining brilliantly like rubies.

Enormous pure Essence Qi contained within them, identical to that drop of Heavenly Pass Demon Blood Essence from before!

"Heavenly Barrier Essence Blood!"

From below, a series of low exclamations followed, then scorching gazes focused upon it.

Seeing the two drops of Demon Blood Essence spiral down to Ji Wuming’s front, he, with his originally sharp gaze, became stunned, his breath involuntary catching.

This...

He didn’t know how to express his feelings.

A single drop of Demon Blood Essence had already nearly let him succeed in his breakthrough, now with two drops, his advancement seemed imminent.

He hadn’t really done anything for the Colonel, simply showing the proper courtesy, yet received such a gift, his heart tumultuous, his eyes unsettled.

Meanwhile, Qian Kun from Yulong Palace, seeing this scene, his eyes widened, his expression suddenly turned stiff, then biting his teeth furiously, his eyes green with envy.

Inside, he roared, why?

Such a treasure, why give it to this guy instead of me?

He was extremely jealous, truly wanting to snatch away this Demon Blood Essence, but being in Yunding Mountain, he could only watch helplessly.

At this time, Ji Wuming pocketed the two drops of Demon Blood Essence, slightly bowed, his expression solemn, "Please convey to the Colonel, today’s grace, Ji will surely remember."

"No need, the General only hopes that later, Shu can bring more strength to protect the four directions!"

Saying this, high above, Yun Tiansheng profoundly glanced once, then tugging on the reins to turn the horse, after a neigh, rapidly galloped toward Yunding Mountain and disappeared from sight soon.

At this moment, in the courtyard above, Ji Wushuang’s heart trembled,

After a long while, he suddenly turned his head, staring at Qian Kun of Yulong Palace whose expression was quite unpleasant, with a surge of battle intent in his eyes.

"Let’s continue!"

After speaking, a sound of Sword Qi breaking through the air.

At this time, atop the summit of Ninth Mountain, Yun Tiansheng came to report back.

He dismounted and took several steps forward, "General, the goods have already been delivered."

Chen Yuan nodded, "I’ve seen it."

At this moment, Liu Qing, standing beside him, looked towards the north side with hesitation in his eyes and spoke, "General, you have already bestowed three precious drops of Demon Blood Essence to this disciple of the Sect. Isn’t it a bit too extravagant?"

Chen Yuan chuckled, "No harm. The first drop was because I appreciate this person. As for these two drops, what’s the harm in using them to cultivate a reputation?"

"There are only three days left for us. How many troops can we recruit in three days? With so many disciples from noble families and sects gathered here and the turbulent undercurrent, if I, the general, can make a name for myself through word of mouth from these people, it should attract talented individuals to join my ranks! All in all, it’s a worthwhile transaction!"

"Now, I have already asked Commander Pei for as many weapons, equipment, and horses as possible. There’s no shortage of money under my command. Your next task, you three, is to gather as many troops as possible. Any objections?"

The three were silent.

"Then pass down my order!" Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Yes!"

The three stepped forward to take orders, but the last one, the Leading Military Officer Lu Ming, suddenly spoke:

"General, before I came, your former subordinate Gongsun Yang expressed a wish to see you!"

"Let him come over!"

"Yes."

The three descended the mountain.

Meanwhile, Chen Yuan stood on the mountaintop, quietly observing the activities in the north courtyard of Yunding Mountain. About half a cup of tea later, his eyebrows raised.

The battle below had concluded with a winner!

The Chief Disciple of Shu Mountain Sword Sect had won!

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind, "My lord!"

It was Gongsun Yang, who had changed from his washed-out Confucian robe into chain armor, appearing on the scene.

This former itinerant storyteller, who once seemed somewhat indolent and carefree, now donned armor and had marched with the army, transforming his demeanor considerably, bringing on a sense of an old warhorse ready to fight again.

Here he was, possessing the cultivation of the Peak Profound Body, currently holding a nominal position in Ninth Mountain, his eyes filled with a leaping emotion.

Stepping forward to pay his respects, he looked at Chen Yuan with eager eyes and hastily said:

"My lord, I have something to discuss!"

Chen Yuan, seeing his anticipatory look, couldn’t help but laugh heartily:

"Mr. Gongsun, I know what you’re thinking."

"What part of the ’Demon Suppression Chronicles’ have you reached now?"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang’s eyes sparkled with excitement,

"Replying to my lord, I’ve reached the fifth part!"

He then started counting off on his fingers, listing them like treasures,

"’Demon Supression Chronicles - Qingshan County’ two parts, ’White Emperor City’ one part, ’Tianxiong Pass’ one part, and currently, I am writing about ’Jingguan City’."

"My lord, given how bustling Jingguan City is right now, it’s a perfect opportunity to release the book. I heard you’re also set to be appointed soon, the timing and location are favorable..."

Gongsun Yang rambled on with relish, clearly itching to proceed, for his cultivation journey relied on this path.

Chen Yuan patiently listened to the excited narration of the storyteller, and when it was about appropriate, he spoke:

"Chen (I) understands your point, you think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even capable of spreading across the entire Jiannan Road, is that right?"

Gongsun Yang nodded.

Yet Chen Yuan shook his head, smiling wryly,

"I, the general, have just entered Jingguan City, not yet a household name. Mr. Gongsun, you’re too impatient, the time isn’t right yet."

"However, I do have an idea I’d like to discuss with you."

Since Chen Yuan achieved the cultivation of Dharma Eye Divine Ability, having tasted the incense brought by Gongsun Yang’s method, he had always kept this storyteller close to his heart.

Especially after that time at Tianxiong Pass with Xiahou Yuan!

He vaguely grasped an idea.

As long as someone read ’Demon Subjugation Chronicles,’ the book about him, letting his name imprint in their minds, whenever they subconsciously call his name, his Dharma Eye would sense it.

He later conducted an experiment, personally confirming it.

Given that three days later, troops were to be dispatched, Chen Yuan thought maybe this ’Ping Yao Biographies’ might have an unexpected effect!
