Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 502 - 390: Sharpening Weapons and Preparing Horses, Acting as Convenient (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 502: Chapter 390: Sharpening Weapons and Preparing Horses, Acting as Convenient (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Yun Tiansheng and several others sensed that familiar majesty and bowed to the golden apparition before them, as if the General himself had arrived!

Gongsun Yang stood tall, his expression solemn, "By the General’s order, I have come with urgent military matters from Chuanzhong Pass, eight hundred miles away. There is no room for delay."

Yun Tiansheng and the others rose to their full height, their hearts settling immediately upon hearing Gongsun Yang’s intent.

The General has sent a message!

"Mr. Gongsun, please, we had speculated yesterday that you might have news from the General. We sent a Communication Captain to the Chuanzhong Army, but he was disrupted by that creature... hence our suspicion!"

Yun Tiansheng recounted the series of events.

Gongsun Yang let out a cold snort,

"That fiend dared to seize the confidential message about the General. If I hadn’t received the General’s message in time and returned, who knows what might have happened? It must be killed!"

As he spoke, Gongsun Yang’s expression showed respect. He traced a semicircle with his hands before him, bowed deeply to the golden apparition, his gray-white brows standing tall, and his voice resounding sharply:

"Servant Gongsun Yang, requests the General to lend his power!"

"Please, General, open your Dharma Eye!"

As those words fell, a mighty wind rose from the ground, causing the mountain to tremble, and the golden light suddenly intensified.

The golden apparition expanded massively with the wind, tearing open the snowy sky, followed by a resounding clang.

A dazzling golden slit appeared at the brow of the enormous golden apparition, and with the sound of the clang, it opened wide.

The radiant golden vertical eye opened, piercing through the wind and snow, looking down upon the Ninth Mountain like a Heavenly Monarch awakening, surveying the world below.

"Buzzing"

The mountain peak trembled, the wind and snow howled.

The enormous golden vertical eye slowly turned, continuously resonating, its divine power far surpassing the golden light shot by the Southern City Defender.

After a few breaths, suddenly, the golden vertical eye stopped sharply, and with a "zzeee", a beam of golden light cut through the snow mist, striking towards a certain spot on the west side of the mountainside!

At the west mountainside, a separate courtyard housed temporarily stationed troops.

These troops were the ones Lian Nichang had brought from Qingshan County to escort demon flesh alongside over a thousand Three Passes Prefecture Soldiers.

The Ninth Mountain did not neglect these troops; it only restricted the activities of these Three Passes Prefecture Soldiers until they received accurate news from the General.

Meanwhile, in a kitchen within this courtyard, a soldier wearing Prefecture armor came to hand over supplies.

He entered with a somewhat fawning smile, "Thank you, brothers of the Ninth Mountain!"

Every day, of course, the supplies were provided by the Ninth Mountain troops.

However, upon entering, the soldier saw no one, puzzling him until a sudden thud occurred, and he felt a sharp pain at the back of his head, followed by darkness and unconsciousness.

With a "thud", the man collapsed, then the door closed on its own.

Immediately after, two black tendrils reached out from the shadows under a high cabinet corner, swiftly dragging the unconscious soldier into the darkness beneath the cabinet.

Shortly, the door reopened, and the soldier, seemingly unharmed, stepped out, as if nothing had happened.

But this man bore a smug smile at the corners of his mouth, hiding an uncontainable glee, carrying an evil aura.

"This person" was indeed the one who had snuck in from outside the mountain last night!

He advanced step by step, possessing one soldier after another, gradually making his way from the mountain’s base to the midway point, finally finding the clue he sought.

Through soul control, he learned that these soldiers were the very troops who had escorted the demon bodies to Jingguan City according to the Ninth Mountain Colonel’s orders, participating in a demon battle.

Interestingly, the missing Ninth Mountain Colonel had been pulled into a spatial passageway by a tremendously powerful demon along with a ship.

Wouldn’t that Colonel be in dire straits?

Heh, this just makes things more intriguing!

Surely, the Holy Daughter will be pleased!

Then, perhaps he need not be so cautious, hiding and dodging!

However, his journey confirmed the Holy Daughter’s instructions!

This is the most crucial part!

At the time, together with over a hundred Heavenly Pass demon bodies, a palanquin was also escorted back to Jingguan City, with a person sitting inside.

This was precisely what the Holy Daughter had tasked him to investigate!

Who sits in the palanquin?

Could it be the person the Holy Daughter is seeking?

"Haha, I suppose a little more time will reveal the answer!"

"This person" sneered, lifting his head to look at the snow-bound mountain, his gaze as insidious as a snake lurking in the dark, chuckling, then he swaggered, shaking his head, striding towards the outside.

But suddenly, he sensed a slight tremor beneath his feet, followed by a mighty aura awakening above, a terrifying energy rapidly approaching his location.

He paused, looking up abruptly, only to see the clouds above torn open, a golden light descending like lightning.

An overwhelming aura enveloped him instantly!

"How could this be..."

"This person’s" expression changed drastically, and in an instant, his shadow on the ground turned inky black, swiftly burrowing into the earth.

But a breath later, the golden light swiftly enveloped "this person," along with the shadow undulating like sticky liquid.

"Gloo-gloo"

The black liquid retreating into the ground was also forced out, making gurgling sounds.

After being enveloped in golden light, the person was immobilized, but the black creature, although its speed had slowed down considerably, seemed like a venomous snake trapped in a jar, attempting to charge at the golden light wall.

But soon, the golden light blazed, and the black shadow, like something that couldn’t stand the light, suddenly let out a piercing shriek.

One could see the black sticky liquid evaporate into nothingness under the intense golden light.

In just a breath or two, that black shadow was directly roasted into nothingness by the golden light.

"Whoosh"

The golden light receded, shrinking back into the sky’s clouds, coming and going like lightning.

"Plop"

The body of that government soldier fell!

Soon, the sound of urgent armor clattering and footsteps came from not far away.

...

In the Ninth Mountain Colonel Hall, that golden vertical eye closed abruptly.

The golden phantom also quickly shrank, contracting back, and in an instant, it transformed into golden characters that disappeared into a scroll.

Gongsun Yang waved his sleeve to retrieve the scroll, his expression becoming peaceful.

The phantom opening its eyes was not the General’s true manifestation. It was the Divine Skills of this storyteller’s sect, using the General’s luck, employing the Threefold Technique to exterminate demons and eliminate evil!

Yun Tiansheng and the others watched this scene, feeling the difference, but did not inquire further, only asking:

"Mr. Gongyang exterminated that creature, do you know its origins?"

Gongsun Yang touched his beard, shaking his head, "I did not truly kill this beast because I don’t know its origins. Weren’t you saying this beast had some scheme? Killing it once is of no use; I have urgent matters and no time to accompany this fellow."

Yun Tiansheng and the others listened, feeling muddled, but they understood that it was a deliberate release, letting the line out to catch a bigger fish, but once released, how to find it again, as this beast’s means were strange, able to possess people, and average folks couldn’t notice it at all.

But Gongsun Yang stroked his goatee, chuckling meaningfully,

"Rest assured, having consumed the General’s incense, it won’t get away!"

This remark indicates a unique set of Divine Skills belonging to their sect.

After saying this, Gongsun Yang stepped forward, "Let’s put these matters aside."

"The General has orders, let’s prioritize official business first!"

"Mr. Gongyang is right, please move to the side hall!"

"Let’s go!"

With that, they headed towards the side.

Before long, Yun Tiansheng and the others appeared in the side hall with Gongsun Yang, seating themselves one after another.

Southern City Defender Mo Qianyun, not being of the Ninth Mountain, waited outside.

In the side hall, Gongsun Yang was arranged to sit on an upper-left chair, Yun Tiansheng sat below, Liu Qing, and Lu Ming sat opposite.

"The General is now trapped in the Ten Thousand Mountains!" Gongsun Yang directly revealed Chen Yuan’s whereabouts.

This made Yun Tiansheng and the other two Piaoqi, who had speculated, twitch their brows involuntarily upon hearing this.

"I didn’t expect, the General truly fell here! Mr. Gongyang, your visit must be for the General. Do you have any instructions?" Yun Tiansheng’s voice was low, furrowing his brow, then lifting his eyes, fixing his gaze on Gongsun Yang.

Liu Qing and the others also fixed their gazes!

Gongsun Yang clasped the armrest of the chair with one hand, his posture upright, his voice robust: "Indeed!"

"My visit is to take an item from The Overseers. This item is a map of the Ten Thousand Mountains’ geographical distribution. I inquired with Commander Pei, who is now guarding Chuanzhong Pass, and he said there is a copy of it stored in The Overseers’ arsenal. I’m uneasy, so I came personally. Once obtaining it, I can promptly communicate with the General."

"Due to the cultivation technique I’ve been practicing, I can maintain contact with the General!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Tiansheng and the others glanced at each other, and then Liu Qing spoke: "The arsenal of The Overseers is currently jointly guarded by both advisers, someone come!"

He immediately called out towards the door,

"Quickly summon Adviser Gao and Adviser Fan to our Ninth Mountain!"

"Yes!"

"Mr. Gongyang, does the General have any further instructions? Are we to dispatch troops?"

Lu Ming was somewhat anxious at this moment.

Gongsun Yang glanced at him, "The General has notified Commander Pei to coordinate at the front line, instructing our Ninth Mountain Army to prepare their armor and be ready to deploy at any time."

At this, he slowly rose, calling out the three names in the same deep voice,

"By the General’s command!"

"Liu Qing, Yun Tiansheng, Lu Ming!"

"We are here!"

Yun Tiansheng and the others immediately stood, cupping their hands to listen to the order.

"Yun Tiansheng, prudent by nature, looking at the overall situation, the General commands you to patrol and guard Jingguan..."

"Liu Qing, valiant in battle, the General orders you to station troops at General Mountain, ready to respond at any sound..."

"Lu Ming, blessed with Great Success, the General sighs at the rapid redeployment of demon troops, our troops have no room for maneuver, orders you to raise up a force, from south of Jingguan City, in treacherous stronghold areas, to build an array..."

"In my absence, the three of you may act as you see fit, quickly strengthening the troops, in times of crisis, you are allowed to use my name to dispatch troops for our use!"

Gongsun Yang relayed to them what the General had entrusted to him word for word.

In simple terms, it was for the three Piaoqi under him to each fulfill their duties, one to patrol and guard Jingguan, stabilizing the rear, one to train the troops, ready at all times, and one to build an array for troop redeployment!

In summary, eight words: prepare the army and proceed as fit!
