102: Shengwusi

Originally, Jiang Chen only approached it with a try-and-see attitude.

But unexpectedly, it actually worked.

This was equivalent to gaining twenty thousand cultivation points for free!

Previously, Jiang Chen sealed the demon den in Wu Mao Mountain and received five thousand cultivation points.

Now, merely destroying this small demon cloud in Echo Valley gave him so many Cultivate points, which truly felt satisfying.

At this point, the Cultivate points Jiang Chen had accumulated were already more than enough for him to Breakthrough to the Spirit Martial Realm.

Kill Points: 753 points

Cultivate Points: 39150 points

Unconsciously, his Kill Points had accumulated to over seven hundred, plus nearly forty thousand Cultivate points.

This trip could be said to be very fruitful.

And it wasn't over yet.

Aside from the Southern Front, other areas were also doing their best to counter the demon attacks.

There were even true demon dens that had not yet been completely sealed!

In one of those demon dens, an Earth Martial Realm demon had not yet made its move.

This was the real main event.

Jiang Chen also wanted to experience whether an Earth Martial Realm demon could withstand one of his punches.

However, publicly slaying this Earth Martial Realm demon would be too astonishing.

Even the offensive power of Jiang Chen's punch just now was understandable to everyone.

After all, Jiang Chen's boxing technique carried a sound wave attack, and precisely in Echo Valley, the sound wave attack was amplified; this could be considered leveraging the terrain.

However, Jiang Chen's own Cultivate of the ninth layer of the Xiantian Realm was not hidden.

Everyone was also guessing, could Jiang Chen be a Disciple of some powerful Revered Master, secretly coming to the grassroots for tempering?

If one were to say Jiang Chen was just someone from a small village in Dongfeng Town, who would believe it?

Watching the demon cloud gradually disperse, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if a large stone pressing on their chests had been removed.

This journey truly involved several life-and-death situations.

Of course, the greatest contributor was still Jiang Chen; if not for him, all of them would have truly died in Echo Valley.

Even Lu Qian might not have been able to escape.

Thinking about it still left them with lingering fear.

Let's go back and rest first.

Jiang Chen, you'll act with us; we'll talk more when we reach the camp.

Lu Qian said to Jiang Chen.

Yes, Lord Lu.

Jiang Chen cupped his hands and said.

He did not presume upon being their savior and having performed a great service to act proud or put on airs, which surprised Lu Qian. To possess such powerful strength at a young age, and yet have such an unpretentious temperament, was truly rare.

Centurion, Jiang Chen is already part of our group. I applied earlier to transfer him to my group; he's been one of us for a while, it's just that the transfer order hasn't had time to be delivered.

Chu Yun said.

Although someone could be sent to deliver it, it couldn't compare to delivering it herself, especially with the current urgent war situation, which caused delays.

Oh? What a coincidence? That truly is fate.

Jiang Chen, welcome to our ranks.

Lu Qian also extended a hand to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting the Great Lan Dynasty to also have a handshake greeting. Jiang Chen was not timid, and gently clasped Lu Qian's hand, giving a slight shake.

Please guide me, Lord Lu.

Lu Qian also smiled sweetly, withdrawing her hand at just the right moment.

It must be said, those who Cultivate Spiritual Qi are indeed different; their skin is fair and smooth. Of course, to speak of truly tender and smooth, it would be Yun-jie's jade legs.

One could slide directly down from her leg to the bottom, a very good experience.

Subsequently, Lu Qian and her group returned in the direction of the camp.

Because of the burning of this demon cloud, the surrounding demonic Qi had also dissipated considerably.

Some soldiers who were fighting the demons also felt the decline in demonic power, and immediately erupted in a counterattack, making the Southern Front battlefield ablaze with activity.

The Southern Front camp was located in a gourd-shaped canyon near the entrance of the Qingyun Mountain Range, with a narrow entrance and a spacious interior. The road led directly to Cangzhou City in the rear. Looking at the surrounding facilities, it was clear that the Southern Front camp already had some basic infrastructure, more like a pass.

The number of troops stationed within the Southern Front camp alone exceeded thirty thousand.

In addition to the Demon Slayer Army and garrison troops from Cangzhou City itself, there were also many troops conscripted from other places.

However, most of them were now on the front lines, and currently, only some logistics soldiers were continuously transporting supplies within the camp.

This was originally a sentry post, but it was later abandoned and became a transit point for entering the Qingyun Mountain Range. Many people used to do business here, but now it has all been taken over by the army.

Seeing Jiang Chen's curious gaze wandering around, Chu Yun immediately explained.

After all, Jiang Chen came from Dongfeng Town, and many things were still unclear to him.

He was probably surprised that there were so many buildings on the Southern Front, as Jiang Chen had just come from the Eastern Front, where there were no facilities at all, and many pieces of equipment were only recently added.

If this place falls, the demons will be less than sixty li away from Cangzhou City!

After hearing this, Jiang Chen nodded slightly, with a grave expression in his eyes. It was clear the situation was very serious.

This is Celestial Bone Daoist's Storage Ring.

With that, Chu Yun secretly slipped a ring into Jiang Chen's hand, winking playfully at him.

After all, this was something she had promised Jiang Chen earlier.

Jiang Chen also didn't hesitate and took it directly.

He wasn't very concerned about other things, but when he had previously soul-searched the Black Cloud Daoist, he had seen a piece of information that mentioned an ancient Formation Plate, split into two. One half was in the Black Cloud Daoist's hands, and the other half was in the hands of his Revered Master, Celestial Bone Daoist.

Jiang Chen was very curious about this ancient Formation Plate.

Just because they couldn't figure it out didn't mean Jiang Chen couldn't either.

Hmm?

Just as Jiang Chen and the others were about to enter the command post, they noticed that besides the Demon Slayer Guard on duty at the entrance, there were also several soldiers dressed in pristine, gleaming silver-white armor.

Everyone immediately felt that the atmosphere was off.

These are people from the Holy Martial Bureau. The Black Yamen is responsible for slaying demons, while the Holy Martial Bureau is responsible for overseeing military achievements and supervising the various ministries of the Dynasty.

They are the ones who love to embezzle and snatch credit the most.

Chu Yun said with a curl of her lip.

People from the Holy Martial Bureau also frequently patrolled the front lines. If they encountered easy military merits to claim, these people would even directly take credit for themselves.

They were simply lawless, even more shameless than some bandits.

Oh? I was just thinking that the Demon Slayer Guards all seemed quite harmonious, and there shouldn't be any situations of snatching credit.

Jiang Chen nodded in response.

Demon Slayer Guards also differ. Those of us on the front lines and those who idle away in the rear are naturally not of the same faction.

Chu Yun said. Jiang Chen naturally understood this point as well.

Xu Yang, you three, and Chu Yun and Jiang Chen, follow me inside.

The rest of you, go back and rest first.

Lu Qian left three Centurions, as well as Chu Yun and Jiang Chen.

After all, if too many people went in, there wouldn't be enough space.

Yes!

The group dispersed.

Let's go.

Lu Qian said to everyone.

Jiang Chen also followed, intending to see what kind of people these so-called Holy Martial Bureau members were.

As Jiang Chen stepped into the courtyard, his gaze caught a figure transporting supplies at a distant road corner.

Although it was just a glance, Jiang Chen was very certain of the person's identity.

Oh, she's here too.

Although they hadn't met much, they were at least half-fellow villagers, so there was inevitably a sense of familiarity.

After this is over, he would go say hello.
