"Letian, you should have received the Sect Master Order, right? Old Pan Teng, as well as the General from War King City, have been killed by your master. Rest assured and return. Even if you are caught and conscripted, there is no need to fear. I have other matters to attend to and will come to find you another day. If there is nothing urgent, you need not contact me again."
After reading the message from his master, Zhao Letian first felt relieved and pleasantly surprised, then his brow furrowed immediately.
He hadn't expected that his master, who had made a breakthrough to the Sect Martial Realm at the last moment, could actually kill the General from War King City with Tri-Level Sect Martial cultivation. As a disciple, he felt proud of his master's Sword Obsession, but then he wondered, why didn't his master come to find him? Was it really due to other urgent matters, or, could it be that his master was also injured?
"Although master spoke lightly, simply glossing over it without mentioning the specifics of the fight, that General from War King City after all possessed the mighty cultivation of Tri-Level Sect Martial, a terrifying strength. In order to kill him, my master likely paid a not insignificant price," Zhao Letian thought with a solemn expression.
If he wasn't wrong, in this battle, his master, Sword Obsession, likely killed a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred of his own, probably sustaining serious injuries, but did not want to let him know, hence went into hiding alone to heal.
In fact, Zhao Letian guessed right. Although Sword Obsession had extraordinary talent, he had only just advanced to the Sect Martial Realm, and there was a huge gap in cultivation compared to the General from War King City. To kill the General and Pan Teng, who also possessed the cultivation of Sect Martial Realm, Sword Obsession paid a huge price and was seriously injured, needing a lengthy period of recovery to fully heal.
After this battle, the name of Sword Obsession once again spread far and wide. During the martial gathering in Qingzhou City, with his True Martial Realm cultivation, he successively cut down powerhouses of the Sect Martial Realm from various major sects. Then, to cover for his disciple's escape, he angrily broke through to the Sect Martial Realm, mastered the power of three forces, with his sword intent reaching the profound micro realm, powerfully slaying the Tri-Level Sect Martial General from War King City, and incidentally killing a degenerate of the Sect Martial Realm from the Galaxy Sect. His talent was astonishing, his strength terrifying, truly a monstrous genius.
Of course, Sword Obsession's disciple, Zhao Letian, performed no less impressively on that day. Alone, he cut down three young talents from four major families, and with a casual palm strike, he directly sent flying Zhao Lingfeng, the foremost youth of the Zhao Family, dominating the Qingzhou City martial gathering stage, unmatched, and later even took in Luo Yao, the number one beauty among Loose Cultivators, making everyone envious. It's worth noting that Zhao Letian was merely a sixteen-year-old youth with only a Second-Level True Martial cultivation. Enjoying the story? Discover more on *.
It could be said, the martial gathering in Qingzhou City that day was practically a stage for Zhao Letian and his master to showcase their talents. Their gifts were shocking, their strengths daunting, their names would surely be spread far and wide. Although they were ultimately forced to leave, people believed that when they returned to Qingzhou City, it would be the day when Qingzhou City saw a change of skies.
"Weiwei, Luo Yao, we are safe now. Let's return to the Galaxy Sect." After reading the message from his master, Zhao Letian simply replied with one sentence, then took out the Cloud Piercing Boat and said to Liu Wei and Luo Yao.
"Mm," Liu Wei and Luo Yao nodded, and they directly jumped onto the Cloud Piercing Boat.
Then, a streak of green light burst from the mountain cave, shot across the sky, and headed straight for the Galaxy Sect.
On the vast lake, today the Galaxy Sect was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere. Almost no sight of sect disciples coming and going could be seen, and even if one or two were occasionally seen, they were in a hurry with serious expressions.
On the Main Island in the core area, there was a huge square paved with white jade stones in front of the majestic palaces.
Right now, almost all of the Galaxy Sect's disciples were gathered here, including those tens of thousands of outer disciples who were normally forbidden to enter the core area at will.
In front of the numerous disciples sat Sect Master Chu Yunshan and the high-ranking Guardian Elders of Galaxy Sect, and beside them were seated several generals, clad in icy armor, their expressions detached and indifferent.
Especially the general seated to the right hand side of Chu Yunshan, his aura was exceptionally strong, far surpassing that of the general that appeared in Qingzhou City, not the slightest bit weaker than Chu Yunshan himself.
"Master Chu, have all the people arrived yet? You should know that the border conflicts are urgent, and I must take my men back as soon as possible. Time is limited; we cannot afford to wait too long," the general said impatiently, frowning as he watched disciples of Galaxy Sect still arriving from all directions.
"General Deng, rest assured, I have issued the Sect Master Order. Once the Sect Disciples receive the order, they will surely return as quickly as possible. Almost everyone has arrived, you will not have to wait too long," Chu Yunshan replied, his tone extremely polite. General Deng's strength was no less than his own, and what's more, he represented War King City. In front of War King City, Galaxy Sect was nothing to speak of, so he naturally did not dare to slight the other party.
"That's good," General Deng nodded.
Just then, Zhao Letian finally arrived at the main island square with Liu Wei and Luo Yao, entering the crowd inconspicuously.
Judging by the scene, it was obvious that there was another draft for soldiers. However, since the general in Qingzhou City had died, he was no longer afraid of being conscripted.
"Another general, his aura is even stronger than that of the Sect Martial triple-stage general, most likely a Middle Stage Sect Martial Realm expert. The strength of War King City truly is incomparable to a sect like Galaxy Sect," Zhao Letian inwardly sighed upon seeing General Deng sitting next to the Sect Master.
"Alright, everyone has arrived, General Deng, you may begin."
After waiting a moment longer, when it seemed that everyone who was coming had arrived, Chu Yunshan addressed General Deng beside him.
"I suppose all of you are already aware of my purpose here, so I will spare any unnecessary words. Those who are willing to volunteer for the military can step forward now. On behalf of War King City, I will bestow rewards upon you. For each person in the Primordial Martial Realm, a reward of one Mid-Grade Essence Stone. For those in the Early Stage True Martial Realm, a reward of ten Mid-Grade Essence Stones. For those in the Middle Stage True Martial Realm, a reward of thirty Mid-Grade Essence Stones. As for the High-level True Martial realm persons, a reward of one hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones each," General Deng announced loudly, his voice booming like rolling thunder, spreading far and wide so that everyone could hear clearly.
"There are actually rewards?" Zhao Letian was slightly stunned, not expecting that the treatment of the people from Galaxy Sect would be somewhat better than those from Qingzhou City, not only were they not forcibly drafting soldiers, but they were also offering rewards.
However, it made sense upon reflection. The power of Galaxy Sect was far greater than that of Qingzhou City, a higher-tier force, so naturally, their treatment would be better.
Although Zhao Letian did not care much for such a small amount of Essence Stones, they were still considered a substantial fortune for the average Martial Artist, quite attractive indeed.
Yet, after General Deng finished speaking, not a single person volunteered to step forward, for they were not fools; as tempting as the Essence Stones were, they feared taking a reward they might not be able to enjoy, as one could volunteer any time, and there was no need to rush to the front lines to be cannon fodder when the situation was tense.
"If no one volunteers to serve in the military, then I will have to select soldiers myself. Those chosen must follow me, and furthermore, there will be no rewards. Consider this carefully," General Deng coldly scanned the crowd, speaking with detachment and authority.
