Chapter 765: The Eldars Entering the Battle
Watching Black Dragon Warlock and Gussa’s group retreating, Wen Tao made no move to chase them but instead turned to Jiang Chengxuan and Hong Mei, showing a slight smile as he said, “Junior Brother Jiang, Junior Sister Hong Mei, you both played pivotal roles in this incident.
Especially you, Junior Brother Jiang…”
He paused, his gaze shifting to Jiang Chengxuan.
“To have consecutively eliminated two Void Returning cultivators from the deepsea nomads.
I will make sure to report your contributions accurately to our sect.
Truth be told, Wen Tao was somewhat surprised by Jiang Chengxuan’s performance.
If his memory served him right, it hadn’t been long since Jiang Chengxuan had advanced to Void Returning. It was merely a few hundred years, which, for cultivators whose lifespans span tens of thousands of years, was relatively short.
Yet, Jiang Chengxuan had shown the strength of a top-tier Dharma Form stage cultivator, perhaps even stronger.
This was quite astonishing.
It’s no wonder he was valued by Qin Shenwu and taken as a direct disciple.
Indeed, he had something extraordinary about him.
After handling some follow-up issues, the trio returned to Heavenly Edge Immortal City’s main hall for a debriefing.
After they reviewed and analyzed the incident this time, the three of them left.
Decades passed without further incursions from the deepsea nomads or demons into Heavenly Edge Immortal City.
Despite the calm, Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei, and Wen Tao did not let their guard down, fully aware that their adversaries were unlikely to have given up so easily.
Especially since they had more or less figured out the defensive power on their side.
Perhaps the scale and strength of the next attack would far exceed the previous
one.
Fast forward one hundred fifty years, and Heavenly Edge Immortal City remained tranquil.
Yet, Jiang Chengxuan, Hong Mei, and Wen Tao felt an unusual sense of unease, suspecting that the deepsea nomads and demons had not abandoned their intentions to attack the city.
Their lack of action suggested they were waiting for an opportune moment. Inside a luxurious palace deep in the sea, a towering figure, standing dozens of feet tall with a gemstone mark on his forehead, looked at the assembly of cultivators before him and spoke indifferently,
“So? Is there still no message from the eldars?”
Gussa, with blue scales on his face, bowed and responded,
“Lord Boyuan, we have just received a message from the eldars. They will soon join us.
This time, they are led by Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless.”
“Hmm? Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless?”
Upon hearing this name, the tall man, who had appeared casual, suddenly sat up straight, his demeanor turning serious.
“If Brother Shadowless himself is leading the team, then our attack on
Heavenly Edge Immortal City should be foolproof.”
He then turned to another man with a fish tail,
“Komo, immediately gather our people and have them prepare.
And Gussa…” he looked at Gussa again,
“inform Black Dragon Warlock and the others to be ready as well.
For this attack on Heavenly Edge Immortal City, failure is not an option.”
“Yes, Lord Boyuan!”
Gussa and the man named Komo both bowed in agreement.
Some time later.
Many formidable figures appeared within the territory of the deepsea nomads, with Boyuan stepping forward to greet them.
He looked at a man whose face could not be seen clearly in the crowd and said,
“Brother Shadowless, I didn’t expect to see you again.
With the eldars, our deepsea nomads, and the demons joining forces, we will surely teach the humans a harsh lesson.”
The man with an indistinct face chuckled in response,
“That will depend on Brother Boyuan’s methods. The eldars are here to support the deepsea nomads and demons.
Additionally, unless absolutely necessary, elders will not appear on the front lines.”
Upon hearing Eldarian Sovereign Shadowless’s words, Boyuan, Black Dragon Warlock, and the others couldn’t help but curse in their hearts.
The eldars always kept a backup plan for themselves.
Little did they know that once the three of them joined forces this time,
If they failed, did the eldars really think that they could stay out of this?
However, no one would say such words out loud.
Soon, the three tribes finalized their attack plans, with the deepsea nomads and demons taking charge of the main battlefield, while the eldars positioned themselves for a surprise attack on Heavenly Edge Immortal City from the rear or flanks.
In Heavenly Edge Immortal City, Hong Mei, who was currently responsible for guarding the city, suddenly felt an inexplicable turmoil in her heart.
This prompted her to halt her cultivation immediately and look outside Heavenly Edge Immortal City.
At their level of cultivation, any slight emotional fluctuation usually had a reason behind it, especially such an unfounded sense of unease.
It indicated that something very important was about to happen.
With this in mind, Hong Mei hesitated for a moment before sending a message to Jiang Chengxuan and Wen Tao.
In no time, both, who had been cultivating in their respective cave abodes, appeared by her side.
“What’s the matter, Junior Sister Hong Mei?” Wen Tao immediately looked at her.
Hearing his question, Jiang Chengxuan also turned his attention to Hong Mei. After a brief moment of thought, Hong Mei shared her concerns,
” Senior Brother Wen Tao, Junior Brother Jiang, do you feel that something is wrong?
Or a sense of unrest?”
“Unrest?”
Upon hearing this, both men’s expressions became solemn, especially Jiang Chengxuan.
The moment he heard Hong Mei’s words, his heart skipped a beat without reason, changing his expression instantly.
He felt a looming crisis approaching Heavenly Edge Immortal City.
Wen Tao also seemed to have noticed something, his expression turning grave. Together with Jiang Chengxuan, they directed their gaze outside Heavenly Edge Immortal City, extending their divine senses across thousands of miles. However, they found nothing, which didn’t reassure them but instead heightened their vigilance
Wen Tao spoke in a deep voice, “Junior Sister Hong Mei, your feelings are not unfounded. There indeed seems to be a hidden danger lurking near our city.
It could potentially pose a lethal threat to us.”
