God of Pets-Chapter 537: Rising to the Occasion

"Little brother, with your talent and intelligence, you are destined to achieve greatness in the future. You shouldn’t go to such a place," said Nan Zilan.

He knew in his heart that even with Bai Xiuyan’s help, their journey was bound to be a dead end.

They were going to collect the bodies for Black and White Impermanence, hoping to snatch their heads from the city gate, bury them, or destroy them, to end their humiliation.

They dared not even be certain if they could achieve such a goal.

Chen Guan was indeed strong, but he was only at the Fourth Awakening; his battle power wasn’t even on par with ordinary Sixth Sense soldiers, going there was essentially a death sentence.

"I have my reasons for going. You don’t need to worry about me. I’m already an adult and will be responsible for my actions," Chen Guan said, waving towards the direction of Taishan City.

Fujimura Reiko, who stayed in the city, came riding a White Jade Qilin Horse.

"Little brother, what do you intend to do?" Bai Xiuyan and Nan Zilan frowned at seeing Chen Guan call over the girl beside him.

"Naturally, I’m going with you to Celestial Yang City. Let’s talk as we walk," Chen Guan said, already taking Fujimura Reiko away.

Nan Zilan sighed, "This brother is truly a man of temperament, but his talents are unparalleled, with a bright future ahead. He shouldn’t be buried with us living dead."

"Indeed," Bai Xiuyan felt a deep connection with Chen Guan at this moment; his temperament perfectly matched his own, and he didn’t want him going to his death.

Bai Xiuyan had already decided that if Chen Guan didn’t turn back along the way, he would forcibly restrain Chen Guan and Fujimura Reiko and have them taken back.

If these two fell into Demon’s hands, it wouldn’t just be their tragedy; it would cause significant trouble for humanity.

A beauty like Fujimura Reiko, falling into Demon hands, her fate was imaginable.

But the more severe consequence would be Chen Guan falling into Demon’s hands.

Given Chen Guan’s demonstrated battle power, his talent was undoubtedly extraordinary. If he fell into Mo Qianpo’s hands, and Mo Qianpo were to gain his talent through corpse eating, it would only bolster the Demons’ arrogance.

Bai Xiuyan knew his own situation; others thought his achievements meant his talents were remarkable.

In actuality, his talent was not particularly special, even if Mo Qianpo got it, it wouldn’t be a significant hindrance.

The two caught up with Chen Guan and Fujimura Reiko, heading towards Celestial Yang City together.

The Cultivators on Taishan City watched them leave with varied expressions, some lamenting, some gloating, and some breathing a sigh of relief.

Figures like Zi Donglai were not welcomed by the Ten Great Families and Ancestral Court.

If they could die at the hands of Demons, that would naturally be ideal.

"Brother Zi, Sister Zi, let’s stop here. You should turn back," Bai Xiuyan said as he stopped his horse at Wise Slope, addressing Chen Guan and Fujimura Reiko.

Along the way, he had had enjoyable conversations with Chen Guan, feeling like they had met too late, and he was even more unwilling to let them go to Celestial Yang City to their deaths.

At this moment, Bai Xiuyan had decided that if the two did not return, he would forcibly restrain them and send them back.

"Brother Bai, Brother Nan, do you know what my greatest skill is?" Chen Guan suddenly asked seriously.

Nan Zilan laughed, "Isn’t it clear? Your Body Protection Divine Skill has already made a name for itself; it will undoubtedly be recorded in history."

Chen Guan shook his head, "Body Protection Divine Skill is just a little trick I created for amusement, not worth mentioning. It’s not my greatest skill."

Everyone reacted oddly to his words. If he hadn’t just aided Bai Xiuyan, no one might have wanted to engage with him.

To call such an unparalleled Secret Skill a minor trick—could anyone say such a thing? It was too pretentious.

"Brother Zi, I can’t guess what you’re skilled at, you should tell us yourself," Bai Xiuyan said curiously, not thinking that Chen Guan was boasting.

"Though my Technique is decent, the art of Technique is merely a minor path; my true skill is leading troops in battle," Chen Guan earnestly said to Bai Xiuyan and Nan Zilan.

Bai Xiuyan and Nan Zilan felt a bit strange. Could someone like Chen Guan truly be skilled in leading troops? It didn’t sound plausible.

After all, a person’s energy is limited. If one focuses on Cultivation, it’s challenging to also dive into military tactics and commanding skills. It’s not a joke; amateurishness in this area could cost lives, not just one person’s, but an entire corps’.

Chen Guan continued, "You lack a Commander for your journey to Celestial Yang City, and since I excel at this, I shouldn’t shy away."

"Hold on, Brother Zi, don’t rush. You seem to have forgotten me? I’m a Commander by training," Nan Zilan said with a smile.

He wasn’t annoyed with Chen Guan, thinking he was only saying such far-fetched things to join them to Celestial Yang City.

This camaraderie instead improved his view of Chen Guan.

"I misspoke; since Brother Nan, you’re a Commander, our team lacks a Commander. I’m suitable for the role," Chen Guan said.

Nan Zilan shook his head, smiling, "We only have just over three hundred people; we don’t need a Commander. Brother Zi, don’t make excuses. We’re well aware of your character and camaraderie, but you can’t go to Celestial Yang City."

"Even with just over three hundred people, a Commander is necessary. If you let me lead, I can ensure our team retreats safely from Celestial Yang City. While it’s unrealistic to expect no casualties, conservatively speaking, I can guarantee eighty percent of our soldiers return safely. Without a Commander, can you achieve this, Brother Nan?" Chen Guan asked Nan Zilan seriously.

"Wait, Brother Zi, you’re not serious, are you?" Nan Zilan stopped smiling upon seeing Chen Guan was not joking.

Though the words were absurd, he naturally didn’t believe them.

"Serious, very serious. If I’m put in charge, I promise to retrieve Black and White Impermanence’s remains and allow the team to retreat safely. If our losses exceed twenty percent, I’m ready for any consequence," Chen Guan spoke honorably while thinking, "If I fail and you all perish, there won’t be anyone left to punish me."

"Brother Zi, please stop. We’ve faced Demons many times; I’m well aware of their strength."

"Celestial Yang City alone has over ten thousand Demon Soldiers; even if only forty percent are Sixth Sense Demons, that’s four thousand Sixth Sense Demon Soldiers."

"Although the soldiers I’ve brought are Celestial Yang City’s elite, battling the Demon Corps, our loss ratio can only be up to 1 to 1.5. Killing one Demon costs us one and a half soldiers’ lives." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Including Brother Bai, we have just three hundred fifty-four men. Even if fighting desperately, to kill seven hundred foes would be admirable, which is only possible due to Brother Bai’s invincible presence, otherwise, achieving a one-to-one would be difficult..."

Nan Zilan’s meaning was clear: others may be fooled, but Nan Zilan, a battle-hardened veteran, didn’t buy these outlandish claims.
