Chapter 1254: Chapter 273: Chong Er Reappears (Part 2)

He spoke, his tiger-like eyes sweeping over everyone, exuding an aura of intimidation.

Except for Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi, the others showed slight changes in their expressions, appearing nervous.

“Don’t worry. What I said earlier stands. I’ve got your back.”

Huo Xiaoqi reassured Li Hao through sound transmission.

Li Hao replied through sound transmission: “Thank you.”

“Over there are the vacant residences, you can choose for yourselves. Normally, there aren’t many rules here, but don’t wander out of the city or make trouble, don’t provoke those you shouldn’t. On the battlefield, don’t run around or retreat at the last moment.”

Shi Tianjin waved his hand and sat back down to continue drinking.

Li Hao caught a whiff of the poor-quality alcohol and food he was consuming and couldn’t bear to look anymore. Having eaten too much coarse grain, seeing these rough foods made him uncomfortable.

“Let’s go, let’s pick one together.”

Huo Xiaoqi said to Li Hao, clearly showing affection for this little brother, wanting to take care of Li Hao.

Seeing this, Li Hao didn’t refuse and went with him to the back yard. There were individual small courtyards, and they chose adjacent ones.

“By the way, if there are chores in the courtyard, handle them yourself, or just throw them away.”

Shi Tianjin’s voice came from the front courtyard.

Li Hao noticed other clothes and bedding in his courtyard, belonging to a woman. The scent was still strong, obviously recently used.

His eyes moved slightly, and he didn’t inquire further. There was no doubt that the owner of these belongings was probably no longer around.

“Let’s go for a stroll.”

Having finished inspecting his own courtyard and feeling satisfied, Huo Xiaoqi came to Li Hao’s courtyard to invite him for a walk.

Li Hao had nothing to do and was indeed thinking of having a look around, so he agreed.

As they left the camp, several resting veteran soldiers, one of them spoke to Shi Tianjin:

“Commander, that True Immortal Realm Third Level kid, it would be better to just kick him out. Someone like him coming here is essentially courting death, can’t let him drag us down.”

“Exactly, don’t want him wetting his pants on the battlefield.”

Shi Tianjin sensed the displeasure of the veteran team members, bit into a dragon tendon, and said, “No worries, just ignore him on the battlefield. A small fry like that won’t survive the first battle.”

Hearing this, the others didn’t say anything more.

They knew too well that coming to this city means there’s no turning back, and no other camp would accept such soldiers.

…

“That seems to be where the sects are located.”

“Let’s go take a look.”

Huo Xiaoqi led Li Hao out of the Wildfire Camp’s city camp, to another place in the city. He seemed somewhat familiar with the location but was acting discreetly.

Li Hao didn’t reveal this, just followed him around.

Soon, they reached a place in front of a spire-like complex.

In the high space here, there were huge banners with rays of light cascading down.

Li Hao looked up, and found these were actually the Immortal Merit Rankings within each sect.

The Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower Immortal Merit Ranking.

The Star Palace Immortal Merit Ranking.

The Illusion Sea Sect Immortal Merit Ranking.

…

The Great Dream Nine Abysses Immortal Merit Ranking.

Among them, Li Hao also saw his own sect’s ranking list, and at the top was not Ji Qingxuan, but someone named Zhuang Wuyou.

Ji Qingxuan ranked fourth!

Though fourth in his sect, he was ninety-ninth in the overall Immortal Merit Ranking, showing that the top three were also famous figures on the overall Immortal Merit Ranking.

Li Hao heard that even the elders within the sect come here to accumulate immortal merits, not just the disciples.

In some Earth Sects, even the sect master personally comes here, but these are rare cases. After all, the battlefield changes rapidly, and if something happens to the sect master, it would be a heavy blow to the sect.

Moreover, if others knew their sect master was at the border, other forces might take the opportunity to attack the sect, so precautions are necessary.

Huo Xiaoqi’s eyes roamed among the various Immortal Merit Rankings, but Li Hao clearly noticed that he lingered the longest on the Illusion Sea Sect Immortal Merit Ranking, with a subtle change in his gaze, seemingly gleaming with light, like he was gathering his resolve.

Li Hao immediately understood that this Illusion Sea Sect was as prestigious as the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower, both part of the Tianyi Sect.

“The Tianyi Sect’s foundation in immortal skills is indeed unmatched by other sects, totaling millions of immortal skills!”

Huo Xiaoqi exclaimed.

On the immortal skills leaderboard of each sect, only the top hundred names are recorded, but below the leaderboard, the total immortal skills are shown, exceeding a million.

As for the Heavenly Second Sect, the highest only has seventy thousand immortal skills.

The Heavenly Third Sect is even lower, only around fifty thousand.

Among the Heavenly Four Sects, the Great Dream Nine Abysses is outstanding, surprisingly having close to fifty thousand immortal skills too!

“Let’s go.”

After looking, Huo Xiaoqi turned and left.

Li Hao glanced but didn’t linger. He came here in disguise and didn’t intend to reunite with Ji Qingxuan and the others. Otherwise, they would surely send people to protect him, hindering his hunt for the Ancient Demons.

Dong!

On their way back, Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi suddenly heard a giant bell toll resonating above Qinghe Mo City.

The sound came from beyond the nine heavens, yet echoed throughout the city.

Immediately, Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi saw people who were previously roaming leisurely or haggling at stalls changing their expressions. People wearing battle armor rushed swiftly toward their camps.

“It’s an enemy attack, Ancient Demons are invading again!”

“Quick, quick!”

Dong~!

As many warriors on the street ran, another bell toll sounded through the void.

This time, the warriors running in the streets moved even faster.

“It’s the second toll, a disaster-level attack!”

In the blink of an eye, most of the wandering warriors on the street disappeared.

Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi exchanged a glance and hurried back to Yinglong Yuwu Camp.

By the time they returned, the others were already waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi come back, Shi Tianjin’s face darkened, about to reprimand them. But he glanced at Huo Xiaoqi and held back, as for Li Hao, who was soon to die, rebuking him would just be a waste of breath.

Once they stood still, Shi Tianjin said with a serious tone: “It’s a disaster-level attack. The attacks here are divided into four levels: evil level, disaster level, heavenly level, and demise level!”

“Evil-level attacks usually deploy the Sky Wolf Army, disaster-level attacks have the Tiger-Lion Army as the main force, while heavenly-level attacks involve the Dragon Battle Army and the Peacock Army. Such battles are rare and a bloodbath is inevitable!”

He swept a serious gaze around and said: “As for the demise level, don’t ask, don’t even think about it. In those battles, Wildfire Camp could only be cannon fodder, and even the Sky Wolf Army might be annihilated!”

Hearing his words, everyone’s expression changed slightly. Li Hao and Huo Xiaoqi’s expressions just became more solemn.

“Look.”

Shi Tianjin suddenly raised his head.

Everyone unconsciously looked up and instantly saw black shadows from afar swiftly sweeping by, transforming into a cloud, densely packed with troops, whistling from the sky.

The troops wore battle armor with a tiger on the left and a lion on the right, majestic and imposing, in dark gold color, extremely divine.

“The Tiger-Lion Army has joined the battle.”

Shi Tianjin gazed intently, with a hint of admiration and envy in his eyes. As part of the Sky Wolf Army, he’s assigned here as the commander of the Wildfire Army. After leading the Wildfire Army to establish a hundred immortal skills ten times, he can apply to join the Tiger-Lion Army, at which time his treatment will greatly improve.

After more than ten seconds, the vast Tiger-Lion Army cloud finally “drifted” past overhead.

Before long, there was another roar inside the city, this time with various colorful glows flashing, carrying different true treasures, including a distinctive giant sword from the Ten Thousand Mountains Sword Tower.

Also, a pathway of starlight, light and agile, belonging to the Star Palace.

Among them, Li Hao saw the War Banner of the Great Dream Nine Abysses, several stories tall, fluttering in the wind, extremely imposing.

Within, Li Hao saw several familiar figures, including Ji Qingxuan, Wei Hongye, Lu Wuchen, and also Lin Yufeng among the disciples of the Spear Abyss.

At this moment, they all wore solemn expressions, gazing outside the city, not paying attention to the boy’s upward gaze.

“The sects have also joined.”

“It’s our turn, get ready!”

Stone Tianjin’s eyes revealed a light, his entire body showing a thick aura of immortal power, surprisingly at the True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer!

As he spoke, after many sect disciples flew away, the Wildfire Army’s camp location instantly soared with silhouettes. Li Hao used Divine Sense to view from above, discovering it indeed resembled stars igniting on the ground, illuminating the entire camp!

“Follow me to kill, establish immortal skills!”

Shi Tianjin growled lowly, soaring and charging ahead first.
