Linggen Civil Engineering only wants to build roads

Seeing that Fu Yunzi disagreed with the transfer, Fang Chen felt a warmth in his heart.

After all, it would be safer to have another late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in the team to help with his subsequent actions.

Soon after, Shen Wen heard that Fu Yunzi had broken through and went to inquire about it.

He also asked if he would be willing to be promoted to squad leader and command a squad, but Fu Yunzi shook his head and refused. He couldn't help but secretly admire Fang Chen's skill in managing his subordinates, since commanding a squad meant higher military merit and greater power.

Unexpectedly, this late-stage Qi Refining cultivator in Fang Chen's team directly refused.

The purpose was to stay in Fang Chen's team.

This impressed Shen Wen.

Soon after, the team finished resting and prepared to continue their journey, but at this moment, Fang Chen arrived at Shen Wen's tent.

"Are you sure? Your team is going to act alone?" Shen Wen asked in surprise.

Teams can act independently.

After all, Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation cultivators often fly overhead, and the more concentrated they are, the more likely they are to be attacked by higher-level cultivators.

But why did Shen Wen still gather the several teams together? Firstly, it would be easier to attack the formation. Secondly, it was also the request of these weak teams themselves. Staying under the powerful supervisory formation would reduce their casualties if the formation was broken.

If there were no military supervisor in charge, the three ordinary teams would gather together.

If faced with a special situation like the Xie family's back then, they could very well be killed by the Xie family, resulting in total annihilation.

Afterwards, the Xie family fled to the mortal world to hide, and they couldn't find anyone to take revenge.

Fang Chen had thought the same way at the time; following the supervising officer's formation was relatively safe. However, times have changed.

"Yes, I beg Supervisor Shen to grant my request," Fang Chen said, bowing.

This military supervisor is indeed excellent. He is impartial and has not deducted any military merits from his own troops. Moreover, since I showed off my skills, this military supervisor Shen Wen has treated me with great respect.

However, Fang Chen had his own reasons.

Firstly, he didn't want to reveal his knowledge of formations so quickly.

Secondly, sharing military merits with the military supervisor is not as quick as gaining military merits by breaking through enemy lines on your own.

Even if you work hard alongside the military supervisor, you'll only get a few hundred military merits at most, and half of those will be cut off when they reach you.

He could take action on his own, earning thousands of military merits upon entering the tent. He only needed to conquer three or four large formations to exchange his coveted secret techniques and even the pills he needed for cultivation with his military merits.

"Okay," Shen Wen nodded.

"After all, you are quite strong, and someone in your team has broken through to the late stage of Qi Refining, so attacking a large formation does have a chance."

If you are lucky enough to capture a large formation, I, as the supervising officer, will also receive some extra military merits.

Oh, and if you run into trouble, remember to ask me for help.

"Thank you, Supervisor!" Fang Chen was deeply moved.

"Alright, after all, we are both from the Tianbi Sect, so we should help each other. But don't forget, even though you are acting alone, I am still your supervisor," Shen Wen winked.

"Of course," Fang Chen said with a smile.

"Alright then," Shen Wen's expression turned serious, and with a wave of his hand, a water mirror appeared before him.

"Not long ago, the Blazing Wind Pavilion was conquered by our sect's Foundation Establishment seniors. We were just sweeping through the spiritual land around the Blazing Wind Pavilion when..."

Now, two-thirds of the family ancestral lands within Liefengfang have been occupied by my Yinhu Camp soldiers.

Our next destination is the northern and northeastern regions of Liefengfang, a vast area of ​​spiritual land.

While the enemy is resting, we must act quickly and seize this territory. Only then can we move with them to the next market town. And this is your next target.

Shen Wen circled a sacred land on the map.

These are all Fang Chen's next targets; as for which one to attack, that's up to Fang Chen himself.

Although the troops were divided, Shen Wen's team was not far from Fang Chen.

"Remember, although your team is not very strong, you cannot be too slow in attacking the spirit land, otherwise you will be punished according to military regulations. If you fail to conquer the spirit land within two months, you will be punished for deducting military merits at best, and at worst for delaying military operations."

Delaying military operations is a capital offense.

The sect would naturally not allow these small teams to use the excuse of acting alone to hide away and avoid the battle.

Naturally, a time limit must be set.

"Understood," Fang Chen replied with a serious expression.

After giving instructions to Fang Chen, Shen Wen led his team away, leaving only ten cultivators from Fang Chen's team standing in front of Qingyang Ridge.

"Let's go, let's set off!"

With a wave of his hand, the cultivators in the group followed Fang Chen and sped northward.

Autumn Wood Cliff.

A sea of ​​clouds drifted in the middle of the cliff, golden and dazzling. A gust of wind stirred the clouds, making them swirl like falling leaves. The scenery was incredibly beautiful and breathtaking. However, if a cultivator were here, they would discover that this wonder was actually caused by an array.

"The Boundless Falling Leaves Formation, this formation is quite powerful."

Fang Chen and his team had already arrived here. After resting for a while, they began to carefully examine the formation.

The wood-attribute magic array, derived from the idea of ​​endless life, is not an easy place to attack.

If it were Shen Wen and his group, it would probably take a lot of effort, but today, it is Fang Chen who has come.

Just as Fang Chen was examining the formation, inside the formation, the Lü family members were in complete chaos.

"I heard that Liefengfang fell not long ago. It seems that our small forces will also be unable to escape this calamity. Several families that were on good terms with my Lü family and agreed to share information have all been silent recently. I'm afraid they are in grave danger."

"Indeed, how can we possibly resist the overwhelming power of the Tianbi Sect?"

"Or perhaps we should also flee for our lives?"

"You actually think you can escape now? Why didn't you flee when the envoy from the Tianyou Sect came? Back then, you couldn't bear to part with your family fortune. How can you expect to escape now?"

With only about twenty of us, half of whom are just early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, if the enemy were to send out even a single late-stage Qi Refining disciple, we would be easily captured. It's better to hold our ground here.

"Hold on? Even a second-tier array like the one in the market town, which can withstand Foundation Establishment cultivators, couldn't hold it. How can our Qi Refining stage array possibly hold it?"

"How about we surrender to the Tianbi Sect?"

"We can surrender without a fight, but what if our Heavenly Nether Sect returns? How will we face them?"

"Or perhaps we should go and hide among mortals?"

The cultivators in the clan were arguing amongst themselves, while in the main hall, the head of the Lü family, who was holding an array, remained silent with a gloomy expression.

"Silence! With a formidable enemy at hand, the cultivators of the Tianbi Sect have already arrived. Whether to fight or surrender, let's not waste time on useless talk."

Beside the patriarch, a tall, thin cultivator stopped everyone's discussion.

"How about we see what the situation is like first? If the enemy is strong and well-equipped, then once our formation is broken, we might as well just surrender. That way, we can give a satisfactory explanation to the Tianyou Sect."

"Very well," the head of the Lü family finally heard a valuable suggestion.

Picking up the array plate, a water mirror appeared in front of it.

The reflection of Fang Chen and his group was visible on the water mirror.

"What? How come there are only a dozen or so cultivators here?"

"Yes, only two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, while my clan has a full three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators."

"Could the leader be a disciple of a sect?" someone couldn't help but speculate.
