“What’s happening?!”
“How come they have so many people?!”
Shouts sounded in the Black Demon Channel on QQ.
“Where are the skeletons? Push them forward!”
They had been searching for people and didn’t form a proper array. When they cast the spiritual spells, the attacks were random and ineffective, and part of their spells, such as Fireb.a.l.l.s and Fire Rune Notes, could be blocked by weapons. Soon, the royal guards who had armor and magic resistance buffs charged toward them!
In the Royal Team Channel, Yu Chi yelled, “Warriors surround them! Wizards launch techniques toward the center of the crowd!”
Many of the royal guards were equipped with complete skills. When they launched the AoE skills (Area of Effect) such as Fire Wall and Explosion Flames into the dense crowd of Black Demon Guards, the latter was instantly knocked down!
Black Demon’s face turned gloomy.
By his side, w.a.n.g Jin yelled, “They seem to be people of the Royal Clan! That warrior named ‘Royal Guard Captain Yu’ is from the Royal Clan!”
“They are the royal guards of Dajin!”
“Remaining Black Demon Guards, use Random Teleportation Scrolls and get out!” Black Demon roared.
“Retreat! Retreat!”
“d.a.m.n it! Those sc.u.mbaags from the tiny forces even dragged the Royal Clan into the battle!” Black Demon cussed indignantly in frustration, “They tricked me!”
“Boss, what should we do?” From the looks of it, they were no match even if they called all the Black Demon Guards here.
“Get more people! Get more people!” Black Demon roared in fury, “Call all the people of Yuanheng Pavilion, Coiled Dragon Office, and other forces! Get them to come and join the United Troops Channel!”
“You want to fight? Let’s make it a war!”
In the Dajin Command Channel, Gong He and the elders of the Liuyun Daoist Palace and Cloud Ocean Faction were called in.
Even Su Tianji was called into the Dajin Command Channel.
In about half an hour, about 1,000 people gathered outside of Sarbark City including royal guards, the Jiuhua Army, and people from big forces such as the Liuyun Daoist Palace and Cloud Ocean Faction!
On the other side, the Morning Star Sea Realm soon formed a troop of 1,000 people. Although they didn’t attack, a storm was brewing before Sarbark City.
…
– In the Taixi Faction –
It was now autumn, and most of the plants in the world had withered from the chilling winds, but cold temperatures couldn’t affect the green and vibrant plants here.
The green spiritual plants and blooming flowers in all kinds of colors grew cheerfully around the clear lake at the foot of the green mountain.
An old man wearing a white robe with golden patterns on it was fis.h.i.+ng by the lake.
A little boy and a little girl stood behind him at attendance.
The old man stared at the different kinds of fish that were swimming in the water and tossed out a handful of fish bait. Soon, herds of fish and shrimp swam toward him.
He pulled up the fis.h.i.+ng rod, but there was no hook attached.
Sitting by the lake, he watched the fish and shrimps fight for food in the water, and his face which looked distant with thousands of years of worldly experience and filled with vicissitude revealed a trace of interest.
“Master, we’ve finished the investigation of Junior Brother Feng Xi…” A disciple came from outside.
“He practiced jobbery and even lost the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron, right?” The old man looked at the lake with a smile as if he knew everything.
“You knew it?” The disciple was surprised. “I don’t understand why you still allow Junior Brother Feng Xi to do what he has done…”
At this moment, a golden carp leaped out of the water.
He pointed at the golden carp and said, “Look! This fish jumped out of the water and saw the world outside, but it still has to return to the lake.”
While he spoke, he tossed out the bamboo basket by his side and caught the golden carp before it fell back into the lake. Then, the basket continued to fly forward toward the center of the lake.
“What do you see now?”
“This…” The disciple said, “Master, the fish was caught by the bamboo basket and can’t return to the lake.”
“Yeah… It was caught by the basket and doesn’t need to return to the lake.” He casually tossed out some bait into the center of the lake.
At this moment, the bamboo basket was flying past this spot.
The water in the center of the lake surged up while a huge weird fish with horns leaped up and swallowed the bait and the bamboo basket together!
He slowly put away the fis.h.i.+ng gear and said, “It’s not easy to raise the fish in this lake.”
…
Meanwhile, Ji Wu sat together with the leaders of the Wuwei Daoist Alliance, and even An Huwei, the Castellan of Jiuhua City, appeared here.
“I think all of you know about the situation,” Ji Wu said in his deep voice, “According to an urgent report, Yundian Upper Realm’s troops will soon come to the border of our country! I think you all know their purpose.”
“Your Majesty, you mean…” Lan Mo looked grim.
“It’s a joke! Yundian Upper Realm gained so many benefits from Cultivation Realm, and we get their left-overs!” Ji Wu sneered, “Now that we have found a new way to strengthen our country, they have no right to make us give it up!”
“In my opinion, these guys are just jealous!” Jun Yangzi sneered, “If they want to fight, we will fight!”
…
Ruan Ning was recruiting members in Earth City of the Mengchong Province. “Guild President, Dajin Country seems to have engaged in another war with this side!”
“Didn’t they fight not long ago? They are doing it again so soon?” Xi Yue frowned. “Guild President, should we go there?”
“Yeah! Why not?” Fang Qi sipped on the c.o.ke and said, “Wait a moment for me. We’ll go and watch the battle after I steal some vegetables!”
Soon, he entered Su Tianji’s small yard which was empty since she was in the battle.
He dug out a big daikon.
Then, Mr. Fang entered Song Qingfeng’s small yard which was also empty with its owner in the battle.
He dug out a big sweet potato.
Then, he walked into Nalan Mingxue’s fenced field.
“Bark! Bark!”
A black-and-white puppy came up with a wagging tail; It was a cute Husky.
“She got a dog as well?” Mr. Fang was surprised.
Then, he walked into the vegetable garden. “I’ll get you a peach to eat.”
“Wu… Wu…” The dog bit into the peach while wagging its tail.
Unsatisfied, it bit into the vegetables in the garden and pulled out a daikon.
Meanwhile, Mr. Fang also pulled out a big daikon.
Then, he ran with two daikon in his arms.
“Good dog. I’ll bring you food next time.”
The little Husky looked very excited.
He looked back and saw that all the vegetables in the garden were ravaged.
“Who’s the next one?” Mr. Fang thought for a second and entered a yard,
A girl in red stared at Fang Qi with disdain on her face. “Guild President, what do you want to do?! Do you want to steal my vegetables from under my nose?”
“Sorry. I walked into the wrong place…” Mr. Fang mumbled to himself, “I should have told them to go watch the battle, and I would go later… I wasn’t thinking clearly…”
Then, he glanced at the people of the Nanhua Faction and Black Dragon Office who were watching the TV Series.
He entered their yards and found that their vegetables were still in the field. The big holes that he had dug while stealing the daikon from them before were still there.
“They still haven’t collected their vegetables?” Mr. Fang immediately put down the virtual reality headset and walked over to them. “Guys, you can collect the vegetables now.”
“Oh, can we?”
“So soon?”
“I forgot about it while watching the TV Series!”
They exclaimed and immediately went to collect vegetables.
“Remember to grow new vegetables after collecting!” Mr. Fang reminded them.
Disciples from Nanhua Faction said, “Thank you for your reminder, Sir!”
Liu Ningyun was suspicious. “How come he’s so warm and helpful?”
Huangpu Tao said, “Thank you!”
Good; Fang Qi would have new vegetables to steal next time.
