Chapter 43 Frontline Situation
Hearing the voice of the man in brocade clothes beside him, Su Ming recalled the battle map he had just seen not long ago.
Qingyuan City is located on the edge of Jingzhou. It has a dangerous terrain and is the most important stronghold among the 36 strongholds of the sect. The attack and defense of all strongholds within thousands of kilometers are dispatched from this city, and three Jindan Zhenren who supervise the war are stationed in person.
Compared with other strongholds, Qingyuan City was not built by the sect specifically for war. It has stood here for more than three thousand years.
Qingyuan City is the largest gathering place for immortal cultivators within a radius of thousands of miles. Its prosperity is second only to large-scale markets such as Lingtai Market.
Now that it is in the war stage, it is unknown how many casual cultivators in Qingyuan City are afraid of being forcibly recruited by the sect and becoming "cannon fodder" cultivators on the battlefield and evacuated in advance.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some casual cultivators who are confident in their own strength will take the initiative to stay and participate in this war, hoping to fight for a future for themselves.
As long as they can kill enough enemy cultivators, Guiyuan Sect does not mind leaking a little oil and water from their fingers to these "hyena"-like casual cultivators.
Looking at the approaching Qingyuan City, the six foundation-building cultivators beside him were a little excited, their eyes full of ambition.
For the foundation-building cultivators, the sect's transfer orders were more "humane", and they would not be treated as traitors if they refused, as was the case with the Qi-refining disciples.
As long as the foundation-building cultivators were willing to pay the price, they could still avoid going to the frontline battlefield.
Among the seven people, except Su Ming, the other foundation-building cultivators were like Chang Yun, who took the initiative to support the frontline for various reasons.
Thinking of this, Su Ming glanced at the brocade monk.
In the past month on the Guiyuan Boat, Su Ming learned that among the three family members, except Zhou Yuhao, the other two were from the Jindan family Lu family, and they were all direct descendants.
Among them, the man in the early stage of foundation-building was called Lu Feng. Judging from his cultivation, he should have just broken through the foundation-building stage not long ago, and he probably came to the frontline for some experience.
What really concerned Su Ming was the man in brocade clothes named Lu Jingxuan. According to Ding Wei, this man was of extraordinary status. He was the grandson of the Lu family's Jindan Zhenren, a dual-spiritual cultivator, and had broken through to the middle stage of foundation building before he was sixty years old.
If I guessed correctly, Lu Jingxuan came to the frontline battlefield this time, probably for the position of the true disciple mentioned by Fang Yuechan, to prepare for the competition for the opportunity to form a dan in the sect in the future.
It took a whole stick of incense from the time Qingyuan City appeared in sight to the time it really approached, even at the speed of Guiyuan Boat.
Guiyuan Boat had a unique symbol of the sect. As soon as it approached, the guards of the city would pick it up and land it in a special place.
Fang Yuechan, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared on the deck just after arriving at Qingyuan City. After taking back the token of Guiyuan Boat, she turned into a golden escape light and flew into the city first. It seemed that she was going to complete the handover of the Jindan cultivator who was supervising the battle.
After the flying boat landed, seven foundation building cultivators jumped off.
After flying in the air for a month, even a cultivator in the foundation-building stage felt a little light. Su Ming's mana was running, and he eliminated the discomfort in the blink of an eye. Then he looked at the surrounding environment like everyone else.
In his sight, the huge sunken city gate of Qingyuan City was thirty feet high. There were three teams not far in front of the city gate. At this time, they were honestly accepting inspections and did not dare to violate the order in the city.
"It seems that the cultivation world is still unwilling to have more ordinary cultivators..."
Su Ming looked at the large number of casual cultivators queuing in and out, and thought to himself that the number of casual cultivators or cultivators from the cultivation families in Qingyuan City was far beyond his imagination.
Since these cultivators took the initiative to stay in Qingyuan City, it means that they are ready to be forcibly dispatched by Guiyuan Sect at any time.
After all, it takes a certain amount of time for the sect cultivators to support. If there is a shortage of manpower, these cultivators who are still in Qingyuan City will be forced to be involved in this war even if they don't want to.
However, heroes emerge in troubled times. The turmoil in Su Ming's eyes is one of the few opportunities for many casual cultivators to climb up.
Next to the main city, there is a side gate five meters high, and the team over there is full of mortals.
Unlike the cultivators who are empty-handed and have storage bags on their waists, most mortals carry large and small bags, some carry firewood, and some drive carriages.
These mortals seem to have lived in Qingyuan City for many years. They know a lot about cultivators and are still respectful, but they are not as timid as mortals in other places.
While Su Ming and others were looking at Qingyuan City, the disciples on the Guiyuan Boat also left the flying boat under the command of the guarding cultivators, standing on the ground and looking around with curious eyes.
Without the order of the foundation-building cultivators, these Qi-refining disciples did not dare to move around at will, and could only stay where they were.
Su Ming and others did not leave, but waited quietly.
All the guards in this city are from the Guiyuan Sect. When Su Ming and others arrived here, there were already guards reporting to the cultivators above.
After half a cup of tea, a yellow light flew straight towards the Guiyuan Boat and landed not far from Su Ming and the other seven people, revealing a female cultivator in a blue robe.
This female cultivator had white hair and an old face. From her eyebrows and eyes, it can be seen that she was also a beauty when she was young. After seeing everyone, the female cultivator bowed and saluted, and said to Su Ming and the others with a smile:
"I am Feng Min, and I welcome all of you to Qingyuan City!"
Su Ming and the others also hurriedly returned the greeting. Seeing the powerful spiritual pressure on Feng Min, the other party was a cultivator in the late foundation building period, and his cultivation was far above everyone else.
After the two sides exchanged a few words of greeting, they introduced themselves and introduced themselves, and Feng Min led them to Zhongchao City.
The eight foundation building cultivators walked in the front, followed by three hundred Qi refining disciples, and walked in the city with great momentum.
The casual cultivators or cultivators from the immortal families nearby quickly stepped aside to make way.
After recognizing the identity of the cultivators from Guiyuan Sect, these cultivators looked at the team with awe and envy.
A middle-aged casual cultivator who was still queuing outside the city looked at the team from Guiyuan Sect and told the little girl beside him:
"If you encounter cultivators wearing such clothes in the future, try to avoid them if you can, and don't provoke them easily..."
Hearing this, the little girl could only nod in confusion.
Walking on the road in the city, Feng Min also kept transmitting messages to Su Ming and the others to introduce the situation of Qingyuan City and the current battle situation on the front line.
"Qingyuan City is guarded by Jindan Zhenren himself, so there is no need to worry about enemy invasions, so the sect's cultivators participating in this war cannot stay for long, and generally come to accept or hand over tasks..."
"Once they arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, these Qi Refining disciples will naturally be taken away by their Foundation Establishment fellows stationed at various strongholds and assigned tasks..."
"And the restrictions on Foundation Establishment cultivators like us are not so great. In addition to the garrison missions that require us to stay at the strongholds for a long time, most of the time we will accept bounty missions and wander around the front line to hunt enemy cultivators..."
"The garrison missions are limited, and if there are no garrison missions, we will be able to take on bounty missions and travel to the front line to hunt down enemy cultivators..." You can accept the bounty mission, and the foundation-building cultivators must also accept the bounty mission to execute. If those who are lazy are found, they will be killed by the supervising Jindan Zhenren personally..."
"After accepting the bounty mission, as long as you hunt down an enemy cultivator, you can return to Qingyuan City to rest for half a month. If the injury is too serious, the rest time will be increased, up to two months..."
"The rest time can be used cumulatively, whether to rest is entirely up to you..."
"However, if a stronghold is attacked, as long as the foundation-building cultivator receives a transfer order, he must put down everything on hand and go to support, and must not be negligent! "
