The Great Seminary

Chapter 385 Restricted Area
In my imagination, the two supreme beings of the human race, who had been lying low for a long time and outlived several generations of 'millennial tortoises', suddenly made their move in time.

The powerful and sweeping attacks effectively halted the sudden 'great struggle' launched by the hundred races of the Earth Demon.

The fierce, rapid attacks and assaults could be transformed into a more brutal but inevitably more 'mild' battle.

Once the situation eases, at least Sun Chonghe will come and communicate with me about the intelligence.

But to everyone's surprise, Cao Zhengbing shook his head vigorously and replied, "No one has come to visit."

However, judging from the polite attitude of the person in charge of our manor from the 'Three Holy Swords Northern Sect'.

Someone must have already given instructions.

"I see." Zhang Gui nodded thoughtfully.
"Alright, go and do what you need to do."

Remember, do everything according to the 'Three Saints Sword Sect's' instructions; prioritize the important matters.

"Yes," Cao Zhengbing replied, bowing.

"Would you like to meet with the person in charge of the manor sent by the 'Three Holy Swords Northern Sect'?"

"Not seen." Zhang Gui shook his head, summoned a hurricane, threw himself into it, and soared into the air, sweeping towards the Great Wall.

As he looked down from the clouds, he saw that the Great Wall was at least ten zhang thick.

The top 'horse path' extends like a long street, with terrifying giant crossbows of hundreds of oxen mounted on the crenellations.

Every thousand steps or so a camp was built, some as large as a palace.

Looking further afield, beyond the Great Wall, the remains of the Hundred Demon Races littered the wilderness.

The 'Great Sword Formation of All Spirits Returning to Sainthood', which is right next to the Great Wall of Conquest, is still activating from time to time.

A torrent of sword light erupted, completely dismembering the still-living earth demon.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui secretly pondered, "I feel that Dazhengbi is following the path of organized professional troops using defensive engineering for armed defense."

The synergy with the 'Three Saints Sword Sect's' grand formation seems to be working quite well so far.

However, the system in the 'underground realm' only consists of so-called sects and Taoist soldiers; there is no national army.

Whether the effects of the Great Wall can be fully realized in the future, given the increasing brutality and intensity of wars, remains a serious question mark.

At that time, will the Great Qi issue new decrees to conscript troops from various human countries to build up the 'underground realm'...?

Just then, a sword light shot out from a camp platform in the Great Battle Wall, transforming into five-colored wings. With a single flap, it appeared in front of Zhang Gui, blocking his path, and sternly questioned him:

"Who are you, and why are you secretly spying on the Great Battle Wall?"

"Senior brother, please don't misunderstand." Zhang Gui suppressed his supernatural power and revealed his true form from the hurricane.

Looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest with sharp sword feathers flashing on both sides of his body not far away, he bowed in mid-air and said:
"I am Caiyang Longhu, a 'sponsored disciple' of the sect."

There was a manor called "Fugui" in 'Jiaodingbiao Eleven', which has now been requisitioned.

Of course, important matters are paramount, but I was also anxious, so I couldn't resist coming over to take a look.

"It was absolutely not spying on me in secret; please forgive me, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged Taoist priest's stern expression softened slightly, and he said with a half-smile:
"It not only supports disciples, but also allows them to own their own estate outside Poyuan City."

It seems you're quite wealthy at such a young age.

Unfortunately, it seems the time wasn't right, and they can no longer enjoy their wealth and status.

Hmph, now that the sect has requisitioned your estate, just wait and see.

Let's see how long this fierce battle lasts.

In short, unless there is an order from a sect elder or one is willingly going into battle to hunt down the Earth Demon, one should not approach the Great Battle of the Wall lightly.

Zhang Gui was taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"In that case, please make way, senior brother, so I can go out and kill a few earth demons to relieve my frustration."

At times like this, going out alone to fight the Earth Demon in the wilderness is either a madman courting death, an attempt to make a name for himself, or a powerful person with ulterior motives.

The madman is fearless, as the saying goes, "He is willing to risk his life to stop the emperor's horse."

As for powerful individuals whose actions are unpredictable, they should never be easily provoked in the extraordinary world.

The middle-aged Taoist priest, who had come from a poor family and had suffered countless hardships because of money, actually had no prior grudges or enemies with Zhang Guisu.

It was only because of the element of 'young and wealthy' that he felt inexplicably jealous, which is why his attitude was ambiguous.

Now, Zhang Gui seemed to be no ordinary person. Recalling how he hadn't been carried by the wind but had transformed into a hurricane and merged into one, a slight tremor ran through his heart.

His face brightened, and he clapped lightly, saying:

"I originally thought that my junior brother had the mind of a businessman who was only interested in profit, but I did not expect that he was actually a person of great courage. My apologies."

However, the 'Great Sword Formation of All Spirits Returning to Sainthood' is still in operation.

Before the great battle, it was one thing, but now it has become a situation where friend and foe are indiscriminate, so you'd better remain calm and patient.

"The Great Sword Formation has been modified to be indiscriminate in its formation, friend or foe," Zhang Gui exclaimed in surprise. "That's terrible!"

"When it's not activated, it's fine if only humans enter the formation."

The middle-aged Taoist priest inwardly mocked Zhang Gui's foolishness, but outwardly smiled and explained:
"However, if there are also earth demons breaking into the formation at the same time, the sword light and sharpness that used to emanate will be somewhat avoided by people."

Now they're completely unrestrained.

"I see." Zhang Gui nodded in sudden understanding.

"But wouldn't that make it difficult for the sect disciples to coordinate with the grand formation and kill the earth demon?"

"With the 'Avoid the Edge' talisman, wouldn't that be enough..." the middle-aged Taoist priest casually replied, then suddenly realized he had said too much, and quickly changed the subject.
“Junior brother, if you really want to ‘go into battle,’ then wait here and do not proceed.”

Once all the earth demons in the Great Sword Formation are dead, we can exit the 'Great Battle Wall'.

But remember, when you go out, fly higher, preferably more than thirty-three zhang above the Great Wall.

There is also a direct flight, with no stops, and the same applies to the return trip.

"These various requirements are precisely because the 'Great Contest' is currently a forbidden zone. It's clear that it's limited."

Zhang Gui smiled and nodded in agreement.

The middle-aged Taoist felt that he was neither easy to mess with nor worth befriending. Having given him his advice, he didn't linger any longer. He gave a dry laugh, turned around, and transformed into a sword light, flying back to the Great Battle Wall Camp.

The sect disciples on duty together had long since lost the anxiety they had felt a few days ago, and most of them were sitting cross-legged on the prayer mats, meditating with nothing to do.

A chubby senior brother who was familiar with the middle-aged Taoist noticed that the Taoist seemed to have a strange expression when he returned.

He slowly climbed up from the prayer mat, approached the middle-aged Taoist priest, and asked with a grin:

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Xu? Are you making a big deal out of nothing? Did someone criticize you?"

"Senior Brother A Jin, those who are not on duty by order are not allowed to approach within thirty meters of the Great Wall. This is a strict prohibition of our sect."

How could I be making a big deal out of nothing?

Faced with his senior brother's teasing, the middle-aged Taoist retorted, but then felt it was too uncomfortable to keep his words stuck in his throat.

I was just about to tell you about my encounter with this oddball, Zhang Gui.

Suddenly, golden light flashed before my eyes, and a hanging bell rang loudly.
