575: The Red Sky Warship is the Red Sky Guard

Night.

In Yunluo Village, bonfires rose, meat roasted over the flames, and jars of beast milk wine exuded a milky aroma.

Villagers held hands, dancing nearby, creating a very lively scene.

Xie Weilou and Elder Mo Hen, the village chief, sat by the bonfire, holding beast milk wine.

Elder Mo Hen said, “This old man has received confirmed news that the Chitian Ancient Kingdom’s army will arrive at Yunluo Village tomorrow. At that time, Little Brother can follow them to the Ancient Kingdom. My granddaughter is part of the army, and she will also be coming tomorrow.”

Mo Kuang walked over, smiling as he said, “The village chief’s granddaughter is quite extraordinary. I heard she holds an important position in the army and is very capable. It’s because of her that our Yunluo Village has received so much care over the years.”

Over the years, the village chief’s granddaughter had sent some cultivation manuals, allowing many villagers to improve their strength, and everyone remembered her kindness.

“So that’s how it is.”

Xie Weilou nodded slightly.

“Grandpa, can I also go to Chitian Ancient Capital with my elder sister tomorrow?”

Among the crowd, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy looked at Elder Mo Hen with anticipation.

He was the village chief’s grandson, Mo Feng, who had just embarked on the path of cultivation and already possessed a Xuanhuang Realm cultivation.

Elder Mo Hen chuckled, “That depends on what your elder sister says. It’s not easy for her out there on her own, and we shouldn’t cause her any trouble.”

That girl was very ambitious and was doing well now. She would surely go further in the future, and they shouldn’t bother her with everything.

Mo Feng scratched his hair, giving an embarrassed smile: “Okay, I won’t cause my elder sister any trouble. I will definitely cultivate diligently and protect everyone then.”

“Good, good, good!”

Elder Mo Hen stroked his beard, his face full of smiles.

The next day, at noon.

Above Yunluo Village, a crimson ancient warship appeared, like a crimson dragon, with over a thousand Chitian Ancient Kingdom soldiers standing on it, all clad in crimson armor, exuding a dense killing aura.

At the front of the warship stood a woman in blood-colored armor with a cold temperament. A long sword hung at her waist, and a Profound Manifestation Realm initial stage pressure emanated from her. This was a heroic and valiant female general.

“Look, it’s the Chitian warship, it’s the Chitian Guard!”

“Elder sister…”

The people of Yunluo Village showed joy on their faces when they saw the ancient warship.

On the ancient warship.

The female general said, “Wait for me here for half an hour.”

“Yes, Your Excellency!”

The soldiers quickly saluted.

The female general’s figure moved, and she flew directly down into Yunluo Village.

“Elder sister!”

Mo Feng’s face lit up with joy, and he immediately rushed towards the female general. This was his elder sister, General Mo Lian.

General Mo Lian looked at the boy who had thrown himself into her arms, and a gentle expression appeared on her cold face. She gently stroked Mo Feng’s head and said with a smile, “You’ve embarked on the path of cultivation, that’s not bad.”

“Hehe!”

Mo Feng left General Mo Lian’s embrace, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

General Mo Lian glanced at the villagers, then her gaze fell on Xie Weilou, a hint of surprise in her eyes: “And this is?”

Elder Mo Hen quickly said, “Girl, this is Little Brother Xie. He saved your Uncle Mo Kuang and the others earlier. He also wants to go to the Chitian Ancient Kingdom. Can you let him travel with you?”

General Mo Lian softly said, “Of course, no problem!”

The first time she saw Xie Weilou, she knew he was a cultivator, and very likely an outsider.

Generally speaking, such an outsider cultivator would be incredibly powerful.

“Thank you.”

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently.

“……”

General Mo Lian nodded gently.

She then said to the villagers, “This time, I have secured two spots for our Yunluo Village to enter Chitian Academy. Next, I will select two people to send to Chitian Academy.”

“Chitian Academy? That’s the Chitian Ancient Kingdom’s number one academy!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Mo Hen’s eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

Chitian Academy, known as the Ancient Kingdom’s number one academy, was a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers resided, with countless powerful experts. It was a revered cultivation holy land that countless people in the Ancient Kingdom yearned for.

In his youth, he also yearned for Chitian Academy, hoping to become one of its members.

Unfortunately, he had no chance or connections whatsoever. He never expected General Mo Lian to bring back two spots this time.

In short, if anyone from Yunluo Village entered Chitian Academy, no matter who they were, they would eventually soar to great heights, bringing immense blessings to Yunluo Village!

“Chitian Academy spots!”

Zhao Kuang and the others were also shocked, their faces filled with excitement.

Two spots at Chitian Academy, this was an absolutely huge deal for Yunluo Village.

General Mo Lian said with a serious expression, “These spots are extremely important, so I must select two excellent talents. Now, all young people under the age of eighteen, please step forward. I will personally test their root bones, and only the two most exceptional will be able to leave with me.”

She hadn’t obtained these two spots out of thin air, but through battles and meritorious service.

If she were to choose mediocre talents to enter the academy, it would only waste the spots and not benefit the development of Yunluo Village.

Elder Mo Hen immediately said, “Why are you all standing there stunned? All young people under the age of eighteen, step forward.”

Mo Feng and a group of young people stepped forward, totaling over thirty, and even included some little children holding baby bottles.

General Mo Lian took out a black crystal ball and then walked towards these young people.

The first step was, of course, to test for spirit bones. Without spirit bones, one was destined to be unable to cultivate. This was a strict requirement.

“No spirit bones.”

“No spirit bones.”

“……”

General Mo Lian tested over a dozen people in a row, but none had spirit bones. She was not surprised by this situation.

No matter where, people with spirit bones were very rare, and the number of cultivators only made up a small portion.

“Oh! There are spirit bones…”

When General Mo Lian tested in front of a Little Girl holding a baby bottle, a smile appeared on her face.

The Little Girl smacked her baby bottle, blinked at General Mo Lian, her face full of confusion: “Spirit bones? Is it delicious?”

“Hahaha!”

Zhao Kuang laughed loudly, amused by the Ya Ya’s words, but at this moment he was indeed very happy, because this Ya Ya was his precious daughter.

“Ya Ya, spirit bones are not delicious.”

General Mo Lian gave a wry smile. She reached out and gently rubbed the Ya Ya’s head, then continued to test the others.

Subsequently, all the remaining people were tested, and three more people with spirit bones were found: a little boy of five or six, a girl around thirteen, and Mo Feng.

General Mo Lian chuckled, “Four with spirit bones, very good! Ya Ya and Hu Zi are too young and temporarily unsuitable for the academy. I plan to take Mo Feng and Mo Yi.”

“Understood!”

Everyone nodded slightly. This was also very good; two more young people would go out, and their future was limitless.

General Mo Lian took out some items and gave them to Mo Kuang and a middle-aged man: “The cultivation paths of Ya Ya and Hu Zi cannot be neglected. These are the resources I’ve prepared for them. From now on, my grandfather will guide their cultivation. Once they reach the appropriate age, I will see if I can send them to Chitian Academy.”

In the village, her grandfather had the highest cultivation, so guiding the two of them in cultivation was naturally the best choice.

“Good.”

Mo Kuang and the middle-aged man quickly nodded.

Then, General Mo Lian looked at Elder Mo Hen and Mo Feng: “Grandpa, Xiao Feng, let’s go inside the house to discuss something.”

“Understood!”

The village chief and Mo Feng followed General Mo Lian into the stone house….
