After carrying Ba Jiang back to the wooden house he had rented, Chen Mobai prepared to say goodbye and leave.
“Brother Chen, words cannot express my gratitude. Once I recover from my injuries, I will prepare a generous gift for you.”
Ba Jiang weakly lay on the wooden bed, opening his mouth with a wry smile. “After all, we’ve just met and I’d feel guilty if I didn’t help save you from death.” Chen Mobai merely shook his head, then asked about the situation with the demonic beasts, but Ba Jiang really didn’t know much.
After killing the Black Armored Turtle with his sister, he went around to hunt another kind of beast, only to encounter a large flock of Black Plague Birds.
The Rank-2 bird king didn’t even need to make a move, close to a thousand Black Plague Birds spat out windy plague, dense as a shower of arrows coveting all possible escape spaces.
Ba Jiang had a Rank-2 defensive Spirit Talisman for saving his life, but his sister was not so lucky. She was pierced through with a thousand holes and lost her life in the water.
“Do these demonic beasts of Yun Meng Ze often attack islands?”
Chen Mobai was a complete outsider and his understanding of the situation
here was limited to his recent experience.
Although Ba Jiang had just arrived, he was nonetheless born into a cultivating family native to Eastern Wilderness. Having grown up listening to legends about Yun Meng Ze, he had an inkling about the situation.
-Deep within Yun Meng Ze, it is said there is a Rank-4 demonic beast, but a hundred years ago, it was suppressed by the Hun Yuan elder from the Five Elements Sect along with some of his fellows.”
“Fifty years ago, after the Hun Yuan elder’s death, this seal became less stable and often, powerful beasts would break out from the seal. They would lead their clans to stir up trouble. If not for the constant presence of Nu Jiang, a cultivator belonging to the Five Elements Sect’s water clan, guarding the seal from Wind and Rain Keep, Yun Meng Ze would probably have become a playground for these beasts,”
“Still, every once in a while, the seven major sects of Eastern Wilderness would organize mass hunting events at Yun Meng Ze. Otherwise, if the external and internal beasts team up to attack the Wind and Rain Keep, the legendary
Rank-4 beast might truly escape.”
“In the past thirty years, the army of beasts has become more clever. They would commence their attacks on the various market islands within Yun Meng Ze before the commencement of the major joint beast hunting event by the Eastern Wilderness sects. It’s usually the most intense battles during this
period.”
After listening to all this, Chen Mobai could not help but fall silent and then he asked a question.
“Can Green Light Island withstand it?”
“Divine Wood Sect is, after all, one of the seven major sects of the Eastern Wilderness. They have a remarkable foundation and most likely will be able to withstand the attack, though many people might die.”
It was a phrase uttered by Ba Jiang that made Chen Mobai sigh.
■Most likely’, meant there was a possibility of it not withstanding the attack. “During these times, we, as loose cultivators have no choice but to rely on the Divine Wood Sect. They would also issue a summons asking us to help defend the island.”
“Oh, is this summon compulsory?”
“That depends on how the Divine Wood Sect decides but even if it’s not compulsory, us loose cultivators would need to help defend the island because if the island breaks, the disciples of the Divine Wood Sect might be able to escape via teleportation arrays, but we loose cultivators will definitely be abandoned as cannon fodder.” 𝚏𝗿𝗲ew𝐞b𝐧o𝚟𝚎𝗹.com
Ba Jiang said all this with a bitter face. Upon hearing it, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but show an enlightened look on his face.
That’s right, with the teleportation array, the Divine Wood Sect obviously has the capacity to evacuate its forces and retreat back to the sect’s mam base.
However, he quickly grasped another point.
Green Light Island Market, as one of the best markets operated by the Divine Wood Sect in Yun Meng Ze, brings in tens of thousands of spirit stones every month from rent of the cave dwellings and wooden houses on the island, plus various stores and businesses.
If they abandoned the island now, leaving it to be destroyed by the beasts, even Core Formation cultivators would be heartbroken by such a loss.
Therefore, even if the Divine Wood Sect intended to retreat via the teleportation array, that would surely only occur in a situation where they were out of resources and could no longer defend the island.
Consequently, Loose Cultivators would definitely hope that the Divine Wood Sect would not retreat and would contribute to the defense of the island.
Chen Mobai, on the other hand, found himself mulling over whether to make an immediate departure.
He had the Turtle Treasure and could withdraw at will.
However, the demonic beasts’ invasion of the island represented a rare learning opportunity. Given that he had a safe means of escape, and that the Divine Wood Sect was definitely prioritizing the defense of the island, perhaps he could observe the situation and use it to hone his magic duel skills.
“Brother Ba, you rest and heal first, I’ll try to find Brother Qi Hou and see if he’s on the island,” Chen Mobai said, before getting up and leaving.
Chen had accompanied Qi Hou on several missions to hunt demonic beasts. He knew where this disciple of the Divine Wood Sect resided – at the highest point of the island, where the spirit veins were the best. The cave dwelling even topped those at the Water Mansion, being of rank-2 top tier.
“Oh, it’s you.”
Luckily for Qi Hou, he avoided calamity that day by staying on the island since his junior brother Xi had other matters to attend to.
Chen Mobai was even luckier. He left the island and met the Ba siblings. Fortunately, he chose the right direction and returned safely.
Qi Hou sighed after hearing from Chen about the situation of the Ba siblings. He then handed Chen a “Consciousness Talisman” to help deliver it to Ba Jiang. “Brother Qi, how should we Loose Cultivators deal with the demonic beasts’ island invasion?” Chen asked after accepting the talisman.
If the Divine Wood Sect was hard on Loose Cultivators, he was planning to run away.
“Hmm, I just came from Uncle Master Zheng and the announcement is about to be issued. Let me tell you in advance.”
-Our Divine Wood Sect is hiring all Loose Cultivators on the island with spirit stones. Those in the later stages of Qi Cultivation would receive 5 spirit stones per day, those in the middle stages 2 spirit stones per day, and those in the early stages 1 spirit stone per day. These spirit stones will be given out daily, provided each person is ready to risk their lives for the cause.” “Furthermore, if one greatly distinguishes oneself in the defense of the island, we at the Divine Wood Sect may make an exception and welcome them into our ranks as disciples after the conflict.”
After listening to Qi Hou’s words, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but admire the audacity of this Zheng Foundational Establishment cultivator.
Even without spirit stones, in order to preserve their own lives, Loose Cultivators on the island would aid in defending the island with their lives. But with this generous solicitation order, practically all of them would fight to the death.
Even Chen Mobai himself was rather tempted.
“Brother Chen, you’ve cultivated to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation at such a young age. I truly hope you can join the Divine Wood Sect, so that we can officially become fellow disciples.”
After encouraging Chen with these words, Qi Hou mentioned that he needed to prepare defenses at the Large Formation array flag on the east side of the Green Light Island. After waiting for three fellow disciples to form a small team, he also hurriedly left.
Chen Mobai, holding his Consciousness Talisman, returned to Ba Jiang’s cabin. After giving him the talisman, he told him about the Divine Wood Sect’s solicitation order.
■’If they’re distributing spirit stones on the day itself, even the most skeptical Loose Cultivator would drop their doubts. Uncle Master Zheng Deming, worthy of being one of the cultivators from Divine Wood Sect most likely to reach Core Formation level. He’s greatly daring, and having come from a Loose Cultivator background, understands our perspective well.”
After hearing Chen Mobai’s explanation, Ba Jiang sighed with admiration. As expected, some Loose Cultivators who had planned to pack up and leave, thinking that the demonic beasts’ main target must be Green Light Island and that they probably had a decent chance of surviving if they could hide in various parts of Yun Meng Ze without encountering the demonic beasts outright, chose to stay after the announcement was issued..
