Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

Chapter 104 Jing Lan is shocked, a loyal and righteous man

"General, you misunderstand. I am Zhou Xin, an elder of the Jinglan Sect's Battle Hall."

"Our sect leader learned that the Demonic Sect intended to invade Great Xia, and fearing that countless innocent mortals would suffer a catastrophe, he sent us to rescue Great Xia."

In just a few hours, the Great Xia Dynasty, which Zhou Xin had never met before, brought him countless shocks.

Everything here seemed quite different from what he had imagined.

Inside the military camp, campfires crackled and popped.

Zhou Xin explained to Ning Boxing with a hint of helplessness.

"Hahaha~"

"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!"

Ning Boxing chuckled and scratched the back of his head: "Tell me, this was a misunderstanding! We've been fighting a lot lately, so we couldn't distinguish friend from foe. We didn't know the Immortal's good intentions and almost accidentally injured friendly forces. I hope the Immortal will forgive us."

The other side never launched an attack.

Ning Boxin had actually been holding back, ensuring his own safety; otherwise, he would have ordered the shooting the moment these people landed.

Zhou Xin also chuckled dryly: "Hehe—"

"7

"It's alright, it's alright, it's nothing!"

The man had a hearty smile and looked honest and simple, though he seemed genuinely a little embarrassed.

Sorry—sorry my ass!

Why don't you just remove those guard soldiers?

Even after stopping in time, Ning Boxing did not lower his guard against these cultivators, and the soldiers did not relax their rest.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy and oppressive, making it impossible to exert magical power.

This is normal, and Zhou Xin could understand it.

After all, this was only their first meeting.

In the tense moments of war, one must not trust the words of strangers. Those who bear responsibility are accountable for the lives of countless people; those naive people are long gone.

Of course—it was indeed frustrating.

These highly respected monks are now being watched over by a group of mortals.

However, the Jinglan disciples were quite orderly. Even if they were dissatisfied, no one showed it, and no one spoke rashly without Zhou Xin's permission.

Suppressing his turbulent emotions, Zhou Xin asked Ning Boxin, "General, before us, did anyone invade Great Xia?"

Li Shanhai is already dead; how he died is no longer important.

His most pressing need now is to ascertain the whereabouts of the group of demonic disciples he previously dispatched.

Ning Boxing did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Oh? Whom are you referring to, Immortal Master?"

Zhou Xin said frankly: "General, to be honest, before we arrived, the Demonic Sect had already dispatched a force of several thousand men, intending to cross the Abyss of Poisonous Miasma and attack Great Xia. If we allow them to invade, we fear that countless lives will be lost."

Ning Boxing didn't have a good impression of either the immortal cultivators or the demonic cultivators.

The Immortal Alliance is full of scheming and underhanded tactics, while the Demonic Cultivators are driven by unbridled malice.

Only Xuan Gu and his disciples managed to gain some goodwill.

But Zhou Xin's frank and undisguised words, and his sincere concern for ordinary people, touched him. His eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze slightly.

He has his own way of judging whether the other party is sincere.

Bearing the title of chivalrous savior and protector of the common people, some unscrupulous people lurk among them, using this reputation to suppress others under the guise of righteousness and to leech off others for personal gain.

However, at the same time, there must be people who wholeheartedly uphold this reputation, carry forward in the name of righteousness, and are even willing to shed their blood and die for it.

The righteous path is made noble by these people.

Otherwise, it would have already rotted away due to internal corruption.

He now trusts Zhou Xin about 60%.

He glanced back as the surrounding soldiers subtly withdrew, then smiled at Zhou Xin: "Immortal, you are truly kind-hearted. To be honest, a few days ago, about 1,500 bandits attempted to invade our Great Xia, but they have all been wiped out by our Xuanfeng Army."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xin lowered his eyes: "Fifteen hundred men? Annihilate them all?"

The numbers don't match, but they are unlikely to be acting separately.

The poisonous miasma of the Abyss Sea is no joke; there are some monstrous beasts in the sea. Since the Demonic Sect doesn't have a cloud boat, they must have suffered some losses as well.

Ning Boxing had no reason to lie to him.

As expected, the first wave of demonic invaders was indeed wiped out.

Despite having some suspicions, he was still shocked to receive confirmation from Ning Boxin.

This land, completely different from the four continents of immortals and demons, has completely different rules.

Perhaps the sect leader is overthinking it. With such a powerful group of soldiers and their strange abilities, they really can protect this country on their own.

"Okay—okay—that's good then!"

Jinglan Zong's trip was in vain, and his injuries were all for nothing.

But in any case, this calamity is finally over.

It is good that the billions of lives were spared from disaster.

He pointed towards the sea and asked, "That ferocious tiger—"

Ning Boxing patted his chest, quite proudly stating, "They were also killed by our army!"

"I see—"

Even—that emperor, who was unaware of the emperor's true strength, did not make a move; Li Shanhai was simply killed by them.

Perhaps the Immortal Alliance's information about this emperor was also flawed.

With such a group of soldiers loyally supporting him, this monarch is probably not the stubborn and self-willed person who, according to rumors, abandoned his subjects and common people for his own royal power.

All the information came from elsewhere, and Zhou Xin would use what he saw and heard to overturn preconceived notions and establish new understandings.

As the two were chatting, Song Zhaowen approached.

Zhou Xin looked him over and was also deeply impressed.

The novel Great Xia gave birth to novel forces.

These two people may seem to be just ordinary mortals without any magical powers, but Zhou Xin knew very well that they were not ordinary at all, and that they both possessed power.

One person exuded a menacing aura and possessed extraordinary power.

The other person is upright and noble.

This world is protecting them; there will be a price to pay for attacking these people!

This novel land gave him a tremendous shock.

"Thank you for your help, Immortal Master."

With a warm smile on his face, Song Zhaowen bowed to Zhou Xin and said, "A message has come from the capital that my lord invites the immortal to come to Lieyang for a chat."

Zhou Xin returned the greeting, saying, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

"Demon Beasts — Jinglan Sect —"

It was already late, and the full moon hung high in the deep night sky.

Xie Cangrong left Linzhao Pavilion, looked at the deep night sky above the dome, and raised his head to look east.

A lot happened in the East China Sea today.

As the leader who oversees the overall situation, Xie Cangrong possesses the broadest vision and can see everything clearly.

The second wave of the demonic sect's offensive was joined by reinforcements from the immortal alliance.

War is the most direct way to compete for victory. In this struggle, much information hidden under the fog is revealed, allowing for a deeper understanding of oneself and one's opponent.

The concept of demonic beasts, which he had heard of before, entered his field of vision for the first time.

Powerful creatures, truly awe-inspiring.

After two wars, he also clearly saw the strengths and weaknesses of his own army.

-

[Forbidden Laws] This is undoubtedly the greatest advantage. The soldiers' unwavering and resolute spirit can suppress the cultivators' greatest reliance on magic and supernatural powers.

Bring your opponents to the same level, return to the essence of the battlefield, and let both sides compete in courageous fighting and intellectual strategy.

In this respect, it is impossible for cultivators to surpass the Great Xia in a short period of time.

However, even with the forbidden spells, cultivators still possess higher health and defense.

They are more resilient than ordinary people, and if they encounter cultivators who specialize in body tempering, they could cause considerable damage to the army.

After learning about the Great Xia, the four continents of immortals and demons will surely make preparations and build up a defensive force against the Great Xia army as quickly as possible.

And then there are the monsters!

Monsters are a real nuisance!

They are born with powerful blood and physique, meaning they are naturally strong cultivators who have honed their bodies.

In the world of cultivators, demonic beasts might be suppressed by cultivators using magic, and the two sides could maintain a balance. However, in front of this army, within the forbidden magic domain, they possess a unique advantage.

Just like in the game of Animal Chess, his soldiers are somewhat effective against magic users, but are easily countered by monsters.

If Ning Boxin hadn't reacted so violently, he almost would have made a move today.

Otherwise, this ferocious beast alone, which can transform into both a shark and a tiger, would deal a devastating blow to his Xuanfeng Legion.

Only one came today. What if many came?

If human armies were to revert to primitive society and face hordes of dinosaurs, they probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

In TV dramas, Ultraman handles the monsters. But if a whole bunch of monsters come, it'll take a lot of "Ning Boxing" (a nickname for Ultraman).

It turned into light.

According to Lu Junfeng, there is a force called the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons in the four continents of immortals and demons, where there are tens of thousands of ferocious demon beasts.

Their status wasn't very high, and they were bullied by the Demonic Sect and the Immortal Alliance in turn.

However, in Xie Cangrong's eyes, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom held a very high strategic position.

Then, the third wave arrived—the cultivators from the Immortal Alliance finally came.

They came to rescue Daxia.

Of course, you can't just listen to what's said on the surface.

Xie Cangrong could not possibly trust the other party based on just a few words.

Why did they come to the rescue immediately after the Demonic Sect invaded?

Is it to demonstrate the ruthlessness of the Demonic Sect and show its power—to teach the Great Xia a lesson and make it obedient?

After all, the Immortal Alliance and the Demonic Sect are not on the same side, and they cannot sit idly by and watch the Demonic Sect invade and destroy the Great Xia.

However, the person who came was not from Taihua, but from Jinglan, which was somewhat different from his guess.

I need to ask Lu Junfeng again tomorrow.

He looked up at the deep sky and let out a soft breath.

The night will eventually pass, and the sun will rise as usual tomorrow.

The arrival of the Immortal Alliance cultivators—does this mean that the first probing war has ended?

His Great Xia had passed another test.

The next day, the sun shone brightly, and a gentle sea breeze blew, causing the trees to sway lightly.

"Cough cough cough~"

Zhou Xin coughed twice, his expression not good.

Song Zhaowen asked him with some concern, "Immortal Master, how are you? General Ning will send someone to escort you to the capital today!"

""

"But what do we need?"

"Although my Great Xia has no elixirs or divine herbs, as long as you ask, I, Song, will do my best to find them for you."

He knew that monks who crossed the sea would face some hardships.

This cultivator must have suffered a great deal to save the Great Xia.

The Great Xia Dynasty never showed mercy to its enemies, but it also never treated its friends unfairly.

Zhou Xin simply smiled and waved his hand: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Song. This is just a minor injury, nothing serious."

He pointed to the beach and asked, "What are they doing?"

A group of soldiers gathered on the beach, surrounding the tiger's carcass, trying to figure out how to cut it up and move it.

Xie Cangrong sent orders yesterday to find a way to transport the monster's corpse to the capital.

Song Zhaowen replied, "His Majesty has ordered us to transport the body back to Lieyang."

"It's just that the body is too big, making it really troublesome for us to transport."

Zhou Xin smiled upon hearing this and said, "I wonder if Lord Song believes me?"

"Why do you say such a thing, Immortal Master?"

"Anyway, I am going to the capital soon. If you trust me, Lord Song, I can use my magic to collect it and send it to the capital to be delivered to His Majesty."

Song Zhaowen hadn't spoken yet.

"Hahaha~"

A hearty laugh came from not far away: "If the Immortal Master wishes to help us, that would be wonderful! You have truly done me a great favor!"

Ning Boxing stepped forward, his eyes sincere: "I believe you!"

Bearing the responsibility of the king's orders, he entrusted it to the cultivator he had only known for one night.

According to his philosophy of life.

A virtuous person has their own way of making friends, while a petty person has their own way of getting along.

He waved to the soldiers, signaling them to step back.

Zhou Xin smiled at the general, finding it hard to believe that just a night ago they were on the verge of a fight.

It feels good to be trusted.

Zhou Xin simply took a few steps forward, waved his hand lightly, and his magical power surged, his wide sleeves suddenly releasing a tremendous suction force.

To the astonishment of Song Ning and the other man, the tiger corpse, the size of a small mountain, slowly approached Zhou Xin, shrinking and shrinking until it was contained within his dark sleeve and disappeared.

He turned to the two men and said, "Please rest assured, after we arrive in the capital, I will present it to His Majesty in its entirety."

Song Zhaowen looked at his plain sleeves, his eyes sparkling.

The immortal sect's inheritance is indeed amazing; His Majesty will surely like such technology.

Ning Boxing was the same.

With such technology, the slow mobility of artillery would be eliminated, greatly enhancing the army's combat effectiveness. Countless problems, such as logistical support and transportation, would also be solved.

This capability will bring about military transformation.

Coming to his senses, Song Zhaowen bowed to Zhou Xin and said, "Thank you for your help, Immortal Master. Our dynasty will never forget your kindness."

Zhou Xin simply waved his hand, saying nonchalantly, "It was nothing."

Cultivators have used so many resources in the world and mastered great power, so it is only natural that they also bear more responsibility. Using this power to help the weak is just a small thing, so why not?

The Jinglan Sect had risen from the ashes of disaster and had always acted in accordance with this belief. Even in this unfamiliar land and foreign borders, Zhou Xin did not forget these principles.

"Hahaha~"

Ning Boxing laughed heartily, "Immortal Master, you must stay in my Great Xia for a while longer. Once I've finished this business, I'll definitely drink with you."

Zhou Xin smiled and said, "Then General, you'd better hurry."
