203: Demon-Rejecting Pass

Gu Chen cleared his throat and said loudly, "The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every individual. The Righteous Path Alliance has issued an announcement, requiring all Seventh-Rank Sects and above in Kyushu to dispatch half of their Martial King experts and above to Demon-Rejecting Pass to guard the Human Race's gate."

"At the same time, the Human Emperor Hall has also ordered all Advanced and Super Dynasties to send half of their forces to Demon-Rejecting Pass. Several chosen individuals will also participate in the battle at Demon-Rejecting Pass."

"Therefore, the purpose of my gathering you all today is to recruit soldiers for Demon-Rejecting Pass. Those willing to voluntarily go to Demon-Rejecting Pass should register with Elder Li Ya. If the number of volunteers is not enough, we will draw lots from the remaining people."

"Now, registration begins!"

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the Sect Plaza immediately became incredibly noisy.

Some people, fearing death and bloodshed, chose to retreat.

But many more bravely stepped forward, choosing to actively participate in the battle.

Lu Xingchen looked at Miss Yun Li and softly asked, "Miss Yun Li, are you going to Demon-Rejecting Pass?"

Miss Yun Li nodded slightly and softly replied, "Of course, I must go. I am the Saintess of Cangxuan Sect. If I go, it will greatly boost the morale of Cangxuan Sect!"

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "That's good. Miss Yun Li, I'll go with you."

Miss Yun Li nodded slightly and softly said, "This time, we will truly be living and dying together!"

Half a day passed like this, and sixty percent of Cangxuan Sect's Disciples and Elders voluntarily chose to go to Demon-Rejecting Pass, so the lottery process was not triggered.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and said loudly, "Prodigies of Cangxuan Sect, you are the hope of the Human Race. I am proud of your choice. But I must say, this human-demon war is extremely dangerous, and the risk of falling is very high."

"I will give you one day to write your last wills and bid farewell to your family and friends. After one day, we will gather at the Sect Plaza, and I will send you to Demon-Rejecting Pass."

Only one day of preparation time, this was indeed a bit tight.

But Gu Chen had no choice; the Demon Race had already gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and a major battle could start at any time. The Human Race no longer had much time.

After bidding farewell to Yun Li, Lu Xingchen returned to his Immortal Cave, wrote a letter to his father, then packed his belongings and checked his attribute panel.

[Host: Lu Xingchen]

[Realm: Six-Star Martial Emperor]

[Experience: 300000 / 7000000]

[exchange points: 7726220]

[Talents: Eagle Eye (50), Strong Strike (50), Berserk (50), Blade Edge (50), Jade Shatter (50), Devour (50), Army Breaker (50), Blade Breaker (50)]

[Professions: Sixth-Grade Alchemist (1908000 / 10000000), Sixth-Grade Spirit Formation Master (1106000 / 10000000)]

[Mount: Nether Dragon (Tier 6)]

With a major battle imminent, he needed to make more preparations.

His exchange points had accumulated to over seven million, which could be used to exchange for many things in the System Mall.

But Lu Xingchen did not intend to use them easily.

Because, in the System Mall, he had set his sights on a Heaven Rank Martial Skill scroll.

"Flowing Cloud Steps", low-grade heaven rank, movement Martial Skill, greatly increases evasion chance.

However, purchasing this "Flowing Cloud Steps" required ten million exchange points.

No choice, he would have to save up more.

The more he paid, the higher the reward would be.

Once he reached Demon-Rejecting Pass, there would be a tough battle to fight, and he would definitely gain a large amount of experience and exchange points!

Lu Xingchen then closed his attribute panel, took out his black rock cauldron, and began refining sixth-grade rejuvenation pills.

Medicinal Pills like the rejuvenation pill could never be too many; they would definitely be useful in future battles.

One day passed just like that.

A day later, Lu Xingchen once again arrived at the Sect Plaza, where Gu Chen had been waiting for a long time.

After everyone had arrived, Gu Chen said loudly, "I must guard Cangxuan Sect, so I cannot fight with you. Saintess Yun Li's strength has already reached Nine-Star Martial Emperor. For this trip to Demon-Rejecting Pass, all Disciples and Elders of Cangxuan Sect must obey her orders. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" everyone shouted in unison.

Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued, "To prepare for war, all Seventh-Rank Sects and Advanced Dynasties and above in Kyushu have set up a teleportation array that can directly lead to Demon-Rejecting Pass. Now I will take you there!"

With that, Gu Chen waved his sleeve and walked towards Sect Master Peak.

All the participating Disciples and Elders followed closely behind.

On the back of Sect Master Peak, everyone saw the huge teleportation array and then successively walked into the array.

As the Saintess, Yun Li took up the rear.

Lu Xingchen guarded her side.

Half an hour later, over a hundred Martial King experts and above from Cangxuan Sect had all stepped into the Teleportation Array.

Yun Li looked at Lu Xingchen and softly said, "Xingchen, let's go in too!"

Lu Xingchen took Yun Li's slender and soft hand, and they stepped into the teleportation array side by side.

A white light flashed before their eyes, and a strong sense of weightlessness came over their bodies.

The weightlessness lasted for a minute, and then the two of them landed back on the ground.

When they opened their eyes again, they were already at Demon-Rejecting Pass.

Upon entering Demon-Rejecting Pass, what shocked Lu Xingchen the most was the towering city wall.

The city wall was black, thousands of meters high and tens of thousands of meters long, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Each section of the city wall was protected by a Spirit Formation, emitting a pure white light.

There were tens of thousands of people densely packed on the city wall, all experts above the Martial King Realm.

This was also because most people were resting inside the city; these tens of thousands of people were only on post duty.

As soon as the two landed, a white-haired old man came forward and said in a deep voice, "You must be Saintess Yun Li of Cangxuan Sect? Hello, I am Wang Peng, a Division Commander of our Demon-Rejecting Pass. The war is urgent, so I won't be polite and will directly assign you tasks!"

Yun Li nodded slightly: "Hello, Fellow Daoist Wang Peng. The war is urgent, which is understandable. We will follow your instructions."

Wang Peng nodded slightly: "Follow me!"

Everyone followed Wang Peng onto the city wall.

Along the way, Lu Xingchen looked at Wang Peng with surprise in his eyes.

Because Wang Peng's strength had already reached Eight-Star Martial Ancestor, making him the most powerful expert he had encountered since his Transmigration.

And such an expert was merely a Division Commander.

Then how strong would the Legion Commander, who commanded a hundred thousand troops, and the City Lord of Demon-Rejecting Pass, who were above him, be?

It seemed the Human Race's foundation was also very profound, possessing so many experts!

An hour later, everyone followed Wang Peng to a section of the city wall.

Wang Peng said in a deep voice, "Your Cangxuan Sect's mission is to guard this two-hundred-meter-wide section of the city wall, preventing the Demon Race from attacking while also protecting the defensive Spirit Formation and Spiritual Artifacts. Understood?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Li raised her eyebrows slightly and softly said, "Fellow Daoist Wang Peng, our Cangxuan Sect has over a hundred Martial King experts and dozens of Martial Emperor experts. Is a hundred-meter city wall a bit too short?"
