39: Chapter 39 Yuan Chen, who dotes on his wife
When Yuan Chen first took Shui Monong under his wing, he had already considered her predicament.
Shui Monong's strength was built upon the Power Of Faith of the common people.
The common people were her foundation.
If she were to leave the Great Yan Dynasty for too long, her strength might regress.
Of course, once she reached the Divided Soul stage, this restriction would automatically disappear; by then, the Power Of Faith would only act as a bonus, and its absence would no longer have any impact.
However, Shui Monong was currently only at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and she was still quite far from the Divided Soul stage.
And Yuan Chen would leave this place once the National War ended.
He was not at ease leaving Luo Li and her child here.
He happened to recall the rules of the National War.
Isn't this similar to the List of Conferred Gods!
Thinking of this, a clever idea struck him.
He thought of a solution for Luo Li's cultivation.
He found his father and had Yuan Ji craft a simple List of Conferred Gods.
Yuan Ji had studied Artifact Refining in the past; although his skills weren't great, crafting a Medium Grade Spiritual Artifact was not a problem.
Most importantly, he had plenty of treasures.
He used enough Materials to craft a High Grade Spiritual Artifact just to scrape this thing together.
But since Yuan Chen needed it, Yuan Ji didn't ask any further questions.
After Yuan Ji finished crafting it, Yuan Chen immediately had Shui Monong drip a drop of blood to bind it.
Now that the National War had begun, he could collect the Soul of these people.
Just like the List of Conferred Gods, he would let these Cultivators benefit the common people.
And by then, the harvested Power Of Faith would all be absorbed by Shui Monong.
However, he had to be restrained when killing.
The Soul is extremely fragile; if he was not careful, it would instantly dissipate.
Furthermore, Yuan Chen could not kill people at will.
The enemies were almost all Disciple of the Xuandu Sect.
Although the National War was originally a matter of life and death, for many years, the Xuandu Sect had long had an unspoken rule.
"Stop at the point of contact!"
Yuan Chen couldn't easily break it.
It seemed he would need to find an excuse before killing.
While thinking, Yuan Chen hurried outside.
He had already seen two people sneaking toward this place.
Yuan Chen's true strength was far superior to theirs.
He arrived behind them, yet the two of them didn't notice at all.
"Senior Brother Zuo, I only sense the aura of two Golden Core Initial Stage Cultivators, what about you?"
"About the same. Also, one of them seems to be Junior Sister Yaya."
"Heh, Senior Brother, did you see that woman? She looks like a Mortal woman, truly beautiful. Why don't we..."
"That female general is not bad either. Look at her figure; she must be very flavorful."
"Two Golden Core Initial Stage Cultivators—controlling them will be a breeze. I think we can definitely play with them before killing them!"
"Not bad, not bad!"
"Hey, where did that Golden Core Initial Stage man go?"
Yuan Chen listened to their conversation, his eyes brightening.
I didn't expect you to serve me an excuse on a silver platter.
He looked at the three or four little insects floating nearby.
Yuan Chen's expression changed.
He looked at the two people in front of him with anger.
He roared.
"How dare you!"
The two were startled and turned around.
When did the opponent get behind them?
But before they could think further, Yuan Chen rushed up in a rage.
"You dare to have crooked thoughts about my woman? You are courting death."
The two didn't dare to be careless; they took out their Treasure Artifacts and started a fierce battle with Yuan Chen.
However, the best they had were peak-grade Treasure Artifacts.
While any item Yuan Chen pulled out was a Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.
Numerous treasures flashed before the two, dazzling them.
Yuan Chen did not reveal his true strength.
He merely relied on the Spiritual Artifact to suppress the two.
He conveyed his anger to the Cultivators watching from afar.
The more he fought, the angrier he became.
The two Cultivators gradually couldn't withstand the suppression of the Spiritual Artifact.
"Fellow Daoist, we admit defeat. Let's talk this over."
Seeing that Yuan Chen seemed determined to fight to the death, the two became anxious.
"It's too late! You dared to disrespect my woman!"
Yuan Chen showed no mercy and unleashed several more fierce attacks.
A moment later, both were beheaded.
Carrying their heads, Yuan Chen was covered in blood.
He inadvertently stood in front of the little insects.
"Such trash, yet they dare to covet my woman."
"And even spout such filthy words."
He fiercely threw the heads onto the ground.
He said loudly.
"Insult me if you want, but insulting my woman... is not allowed!"
"In a battle between two sides, winning and losing is normal. But if anyone else dares to disrespect my woman, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The many Cultivators in front of the projection looked at each other in dismay.
The dissatisfaction over the death of the Sect Disciple was gone.
They simply didn't understand why Yuan Chen was so furious.
Could Yuan Chen really be a good husband who dotes on his wife?
As the saying goes, a Dragon has a reverse scale.
Could women be Yuan Chen's reverse scale?
If that's the case, they could only pray that their Sect members and Disciple wouldn't talk nonsense.
For the sake of fairness, even they could not pass messages to the Disciple inside.
There was no way to warn them even if they wanted to.
On the other side, after Yuan Chen finished speaking, he slowly landed.
This excuse was very useful.
Given the quality of the Xuandu Sect Disciple, having acted arrogantly among the Mortals for so long, their sense of superiority was overflowing.
As long as they dared to say one more word, Yuan Chen could seize upon this excuse.
Even if they were just complaining, he wouldn't care.
He believed he would soon be able to gather enough 'Gods.'
Regaining his focus, he flipped his palm.
The List of Conferred Gods appeared.
He imperceptibly collected the Soul inside.
He had been deliberately careful during the battle earlier, just to prevent the Soul from dissipating.
After handling everything, General Yang Jiuer also brought people over.
They had arrived long ago, but after receiving Yuan Chen's telepathic message not to come forward to help, they had been waiting in place.
After it was over, General Yang Jiuer immediately stepped forward to express her gratitude.
"Many thanks, Young Master Yuan!"
This was the first time the two had spoken.
Yuan Chen waved his hand.
"No need to be polite. I came here with a mission anyway."
General Yang Jiuer nodded and didn't say anything more.
A few days later, Senior Brother Qian Du finally realized something.
The two Junior Brothers he had sent out seemed not to have returned yet.
He doubtfully called all his Junior Brothers before him.
Upon asking, he realized that the two had not returned since they left that night.
"Could something have happened?"
Senior Brother Qian Du thought, frowning.
At this moment, the armies of both sides had also begun to engage in battle.
After Senior Brother Qian Du left two people behind to symbolically protect the general here.
He took the remaining Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters and headed toward Fengkou City.
Since that was the case, they would just push through by force.
Actually, there was no need to leave two people here at all.
He didn't believe the other side had the manpower to assassinate the generals.
The group of thirteen people didn't hide their aura either.
After entering the city, they swaggered toward the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
As long as they weren't surrounded by the army.
It would be very easy for the dozen or so of them to escape.
Walking to the perimeter of the General's Mansion, the dozen or so people began to observe the situation inside.
Naturally, they also saw the great beauty, Luo Xinyi.
A few of them couldn't help but chuckle.
Just as they were about to say something.
Senior Brother Qian Du spoke slowly.
"Someone is coming!"
Everyone sensed it, and sure enough, a Golden Core Initial Stage Cultivator was flying over.
Surprisingly, it was not someone from their Xuandu Sect.
The group looked at each other and chuckled.
"We'll have something to play with tonight!"
