Chapter 989 - 360: Celestial Master Lei’s Sword (Double-Length - ) (Part 3)
Martial artists stationed at Boyan Mountain by the Solitary Eagle Khanate are tasked with logistics, primarily guiding exotic beasts through the Void Gateway from the Khanate to the Tang Dynasty Mortal World.
These exotic beasts, once tamed, are sent to the frontlines, and after a short period of adaptation with the cavalry commanders who lost their beasts, they can be put to use again.
At this moment, the Void Gateway trembles.
Guided by some aliens, several Green Dragon Wind Beasts arrive in the Tang Dynasty Mortal World.
The unfamiliar Spiritual Energy environment makes them restless, and the lack of corresponding masters causes them to vaguely revert to their wild nature.
Some alien martial artists stationed here practice the art of Riding and Controlling Skill and are continuously soothing these Green Dragon Wind Beasts at this moment.
Once they adapt to the Spiritual Energy of the Tang Dynasty Mortal World, they can be sent south to join the main forces at the frontlines.
The people of the Solitary Eagle Khanate have long been accustomed to such tasks, making them almost second nature.
On the other side of Boyan Mountain, the wilderness is a scene of ruin, with ravines crisscrossing and the ground cracked open with one fissure after another.
These are the traces left when Lone Eagle Khan Harigeer first arrived in the Tang Dynasty Mortal World and subdued the Great Demon, the Snow Country Bear King, of the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
To the people of the Solitary Eagle Khanate, it is a testament to the Khan King’s strength.
However, at this moment, there are other people quietly moving through the fissures.
Their movements are swift and silent.
Suddenly, one among them halts and makes a gesture.
The group immediately stops and finds rocks to hide behind.
Above the One-Line-Sky-like fissure, a small black dot can be vaguely seen flying by.
Though it’s far inferior to Lone Eagle Khan Harigeer’s Azure Sky Divine Eagle, alien martial artists left at Boyan Mountain still command exotic beast divine eagles to patrol the sky and watch all directions.
The black dot in the sky does not descend into the fissures, but its sharp insight still perceives multiple scenes within the fissures.
However, the people within the fissures were forewarned, each hiding and suppressing their presence.
The black dot flies over the sky without pausing to circle.
The people within the fissures exchange glances, each nodding slightly.
"Thank you, Elder Yang," says a tall, armored figure with bright eyes like white lightning, though not aggressive.
This is Shen Qubing, a martial arts expert who has achieved the Scorching Sun Realm of the Eighth Heavenly Layer in Body Refinement and is now one of the few major generals in the Tang Dynasty’s Divine Strategy Army.
Behind him is a group, not numerous but each fierce, intact, and robust, all outstanding martial artists. Besides Shen Qubing, there are other martial arts experts of the Upper Three Heavens level.
Among them is even a healer of the Seventh Heavenly Layer, Yu Cheng, the Master of Hui Tian Hall, accompanied by a few disciples.
Everyone is currently focusing on suppressing their presence, and thus their fervent energy and blood are not apparent.
The only cultivator amidst the martial artists is a dark-skinned man dressed in traditional Southern Wilderness attire.
Elder of the Samsara Abyss from the Witchcraft Sect of the Southern Wilderness, Yang Haolong.
It was he who just warned everyone to halt and suppress their forms, avoiding the eyes of the divine eagle above.
In past years, the Tang Imperial Court organized and sealed the Void Gateway leading to the Earth Sea located in the Southern Wilderness.
For the Tang Dynasty and the Witchcraft Sect, this removed a major threat.
But without external foes, the Tang Imperial Court infiltrated the Southern Wilderness, naturally causing vigilance among the locals of the Wu Sect as the local tigers.
Subsequently, under the mediation of Celestial Master Lei at Dragon Tiger Mountain, both sides refrained from large-scale bloody conflicts.
The various regions in the Southern Wilderness, under the control of the Wu Sect, have nurtured and developed, significantly reducing bloody conflicts.
The Tang Imperial Court held back its expansion into the Southern Wilderness territory.
Though the Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect remained cautious of the Tang Imperial Family, they reciprocated under the half mediation and half guarantee of the Celestial Master Mansion, with a few Wu Sect experts gradually heading north during the comprehensive invasion by the Solitary Eagle Khanate.
Currently, the majority are middle-to-low-level Wu Sect trainees.
The highest realm among them is Elder Yang Haolong of the Samsara Abyss at the Eighth Heavenly Layer.
However, he hasn’t shown himself openly, choosing instead to act covertly with Shen Qubing, finally determining the specific location of the Solitary Eagle Khanate’s Void Gateway during this invasion.
The objective of their operation, besides harassing the rear of the Solitary Eagle Khanate, is to locate the Void Gateway, record the environment and conditions here, prepare for future sealing, or find the opportunity to intercept and kill those returning from here to the Solitary Eagle Khanate homeland.
Shen Qubing and his companions move again, approaching Boyan Mountain from the bottom of the fissures.
As they sense getting closer to the patrols of the alien martial artists, the Tang martial artists also close in to a comfortably fitting distance.
Without a word, Shen Qubing gives an order and springs out from his position.
In the blink of an eye, he reaches the foot of Boyan Mountain, heading straight for the enemy’s commanding general.
Also an Eighth Heavenly Layer martial artist, the chief of the Solitary Eagle Khanate fails to react in time.
The warning of sneak attack just surfaces in his mind, but before he can respond, Shen Qubing is already upon him, moving so swiftly that even a similar-level alien expert feels a dazzling blur before his eyes.
Their forms pass by each other.
The alien martial artist sways, half of his body stained with blood!
Unstoppable, Shen Qubing leaps towards the next target.
Behind him, other Tang martial artists follow one after another.
Yang Haolong and Yu Cheng bring up the rear.
When Shen Qubing was at the Seventh Heavenly Layer, his Supreme Thunder Immortal Body triggered Supreme Thunder Celestial Lightning, emitting blinding white light.
Now, reaching the Eighth Heavenly Layer, the resultant White Thunder rarely manifests externally, integrating mostly into his flesh.
It doesn’t appear as illustrious as before, but in terms of speed and destructive power, he’s far more terrifying than before.
Watching his figure move like consecutive teleportations, Yang Haolong is secretly taken aback.
