Swordholder

How could these ordinary people possibly withstand those ghostly soldiers and generals?

Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, and the others also sensed all of this with their spiritual senses. They were all furious, but they were powerless to do anything about it.

When war comes, the first to die will definitely be ordinary human beings, followed by human cultivators.

Because in the Great Xiang Empire, human beings are at the very bottom of the social hierarchy.

Only when all human beings are wiped out will the Western Frontier City allow the beast beings to take their place.

"A-Yuan, calm down!"

Li Wei grabbed Chen Yuan's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "What do we do now? We can't get back to Xijiang City."

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and suddenly flung his hand away, as if trying to shake off the images of the slaughter of ordinary humans from his mind.

"The ghost soldiers of the Dark Night Netherworld Kingdom deserve to die, but a nation like the Great Xiang Empire also deserves to be destroyed."

Chen Yuan roared with boiling rage, a murderous aura shooting straight to the top of his head, causing his hair to stand on end and his face to contort in a ferocious expression!

Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, and the others were also extremely angry, but given the current situation, they didn't know what to do.

In the end, Chen Yuan suppressed his anger and looked at Zhu Xin with icy eyes, "Sister Xin, do you know what happened?"

Zhu Xin shook her head slightly and said helplessly, "I don't know the specifics either, because I've been with you all this time and haven't been able to communicate with the outside world."

As she spoke, she glanced around, her eyes narrowing, and said, "We need to find a spy from the Wuxiang Guard to inquire about the situation!"

As she spoke, Zhu Xin suddenly realized, "No wonder the royal family's retainers, the Feng family's high-ranking officials, and the twelve War Wolf Riders all perished, and they didn't send anyone to look for them. It turns out it's because Western Frontier City and Night City went to war."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

They left the ancient tree village and encountered no other cultivators from the Western Frontier Prefecture.

It turns out that the Western Frontier Prefecture City and the Night City of the Dark Night Kingdom have actually started fighting.

At Zhu Xin's suggestion, the group immediately continued their search along the edge of the Cangming Mountains.

Soon, they found a Mo family team here.

The team consisted of ten people, led by an old man, Mo Changfeng, the Supreme Elder of the Mo family, a powerful expert at the Gathering Star Realm.

When they saw Chen Yuan and his group, their expressions changed instantly!

"Chen Yuan, you're still alive?"

Mo Changfeng exclaimed in surprise, his face filled with shock.

"This is Mo Changfeng, the Supreme Elder of the Mo family, a powerful expert at the Gathering Star Realm. It is highly likely that he entered the Cangming Mountains to hunt you down, because you killed his grandson, Mo Wuchen, before."

Zhu Xin whispered to Chen Yuan.

"Well, Chen Yuan, I didn't expect you to be so lucky!"

Mo Changfeng stared intently at Chen Yuan, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "Today, I will kill you to avenge my grandson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted, because Chen Yuan was already charging towards him.

"Hmph, you're courting death, daring to attack me first!"

Mo Changfeng sneered and then went to meet him, and the two instantly clashed.

The rest of the Mo family members also wanted to make a move, but Zhu Xin and the others stopped them.

"Tell us, what exactly happened in West Frontier City? Why did Night City attack West Frontier City?"

Zhu Xin looked at the middle-aged man leading the Mo family and spoke in a cold voice.

The middle-aged man from the Mo family sneered, "Zhu Xin, who do you think you are? How dare you question me like that?"

Zhu Xin frowned slightly, about to lash out, when Li Wei rushed out!

"Kill them, let their souls be refined by the human skin umbrella, and then we will know what happened in the Western Frontier City."

As Li Wei finished speaking, the middle-aged man from the Mo family flew into a rage and shouted, "How dare you, junior! You're courting death!"

After exchanging two blows with Li Wei, the man's expression changed drastically. With Nuomi joining the battle, he was constantly being bound by threads, his body slowed down, and his movements became sluggish.

"Damn it, how is this possible? How did you guys get so strong?"

The middle-aged man from the Mo family's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in surprise.

But the next moment, his pupils suddenly contracted, revealing a look of horror and disbelief!

The rest of the Mo family members had already been killed by Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, and others.

Although the Supreme Elder of the Mo family was at the Star Gathering Realm, he was no match for Chen Yuan, who was in a rage. In just a few moves, Chen Yuan cleaved his body in two with a single sword strike.

"The Concentration Realm? Chen Yuan has reached the Concentration Realm? How is that possible? It's only been a short time!"

The middle-aged man from the Mo family exclaimed in shock, his face filled with utter horror!

But the next instant, his head flew off, and his consciousness fell into eternal darkness.

After killing him, Li Wei immediately used the Myriad Bones Merging Dao Scripture to refine his bones, absorbing its power to strengthen his own muscles and bones!

Chen Yuan did the same. After killing Mo Changfeng, he also activated the Myriad Bones Merging Dao Scripture to refine the power of the opponent's bones, flesh and blood. He even used the Devouring Fiend Soul Devouring Scripture to refine the opponent's soul in order to strengthen his own soul.

In the eyes of the righteous cultivators of the human race, Chen Yuan and Li Wei's actions and methods were undoubtedly the behavior of demons, which were intolerable to the righteous path.

But in this day and age, in the current environment, it is already difficult to survive. All means taken to survive and become stronger are justifiable!

"Are we still considered righteous cultivators?"

Zhong Yue grinned widely, looking at the shocked Li Taiyi, Wang Hu, and Gu Chen, and laughed.

Immediately afterwards, he also used the Myriad Bones Merging Dao Scripture to begin refining a Mo family expert!

"That's right. We'll be going to the furnace after entering the Western Frontier City anyway. We might as well become stronger now, so that we might have a chance to survive."

Wang Hu rubbed his bald head and began refining a powerful member of the Mo family.

Gu Chen and Li Taiyi, who were left behind, gritted their teeth and had no choice but to join the refining process.

Zhu Xin then began searching their storage bags, storage rings, and so on, and soon she found a token.

"No need to trouble the human-skin umbrella anymore, this token contains information about this great battle."

Zhu Xin said.

After Chen Yuan and the others refined the corpses, they immediately surrounded them.

Zhu Xin took a deep breath, looked at Chen Yuan and the others with a strange expression, and said, "It turns out that one of the ghost generals we killed earlier was the son of the Night King of Night City."

So after he learned that his son had been killed by us, he began to take revenge on Xijiang City.

Zhu Xin took a deep breath as she said this, "Especially the Luo family, they are their target."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked utterly astonished.

Chen Yuan then recalled that when they were fighting those ghost generals, they heard the leader of the ghost generals roar that he would send a message to the Ghost King after returning, and that the Cao Luo family's eighteen generations of ancestors...

"Luo Qingzhu informed the ghost messengers of our location, especially the Night King's son..."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a guess forming in his mind: "However, when those ghost messengers came to hunt down us wolf guards, we actually managed to kill them instead."

Therefore, the Night King believed that the Luo family had betrayed them and deliberately lured them to their deaths. This enraged the Night King, who dispatched a large army to retaliate against Western Frontier City, including the Luo family, intending to exterminate them.

Zhu Xin nodded. "That's right, just as you guessed."

"What surprised me, however, was that our Western Frontier Prefecture Lord and the Heavenly Frontier King were completely unfazed by the Night King's threats and refused to hand over the Luo family. Instead, they began to defend themselves to the death and even launch a counterattack!"

Chen Yuan and the others exchanged glances but remained silent.

They were not interested in the hostile attitudes of the Western Frontier Prefecture Lord and the Heavenly Frontier King.

Because this is not a human kingdom, nor is it inhabited by human princes or regional officials.

"So what do we do now? It's obvious we can't go back to Xijiang Prefecture."

Li Wei asked the crucial question.

Zhu Xin didn't answer, but looked at Chen Yuan, "Little guy, what do you think?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking towards Night City ahead, his thoughts racing. "If we distinguish ourselves again in this great battle, could we persuade the Heavenly King not to refine us?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yue, Li Taiyi, and the others all gasped for breath, looking at Zhu Xin with hopeful expressions.

Zhu Xin glanced at the people in front of her. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head slightly, "Hard to say."

Everyone's hearts sank.

"Your physical attributes and aptitudes are exceptional. You are the most outstanding human talents selected from countless counties and cities. The purpose of training you is to make you the medicinal materials for the Heavenly King to refine the Great Human Elixir."

Zhu Xin spoke again, a playful smile playing on her lips, "In order to become a Dao Platform True Monarch, the Heavenly Frontier King will not let go of any opportunity, even if you have made great contributions to the Western Frontier City."

Despair immediately appeared on the faces of Li Taiyi, Wang Hu, and the others.
