Chapter 1173 Inheritance
"It's not just me who thinks they have a chance of surviving on the battlefield."
"But you, you have no discipline or principles at all!"
Chen Yang was not only angry that Hou Qingzhu acted without authorization, but also because she showed no remorse.
Hou Qingzhu's eyes flickered, and she dared not look up.
Fang Yuanyuan, who was beside them, wanted to speak but was stopped by Chen Yang's gaze.
Zhuo Zehan and Wu Hanyu had already disagreed with Hou Qingzhu's participation, and they stood on Chen Yang's side. However, seeing Chen Yang's anger, they still spoke a few good words for Hou Qingzhu.
"Young master, please don't be angry. Qingzhu has never acted without authorization since she arrived and has always been obedient."
As for Fei Zijin, he directly took all the blame upon himself.
Chen Yang snorted, "We've only been out for a few days? You're already eager to go back?"
"Regardless of who is at fault, you all go to the rear first!"
Hou Qingzhu, who had been looking down and silent, immediately looked up when she heard this and said, "Master, you can't do this!"
"I can go back, but these people were all selected to come to the barbarian battlefield to improve themselves. And it's only been a few days?"
As she said this, Hou Qingzhu's gaze was fixed on Chen Yang. Although a little timid, she did not shift her eyes because of it.
Chen Yang chuckled, "It's only been a few days, and you've become bolder?"
"I told you to retreat first not because I want you to return to the Land of Hope, but to get you away from here."
"It's not just them being in a hurry; the Foundation Establishment realm of the barbarians is the same."
At these words, everyone was stunned.
The barbarians were retreating?
The war between the barbarians and the Yaodu Prefecture had just begun, and the barbarians were the aggressors!
The local battles had just reached a fever pitch, and the barbarians couldn't hold on?
Seeing the confusion on their faces, Chen Yang smiled, "Alright, don't overthink it. It's fine to tell you a few of you."
"I just met with the barbarian leader. Although the investment in the Foundation Establishment battlefield was not small, there has been no effect in the past few days, so we are thinking of investing in the Core Condensation power."
"Since the barbarian Core Condensation realm is much smaller, striking first can catch them off guard."
Upon hearing that they were going to deploy Core Condensation Venerables, Hou Qingzhu and the others finally understood that their master was worried about their safety.
After all, in a battlefield involving the Core Condensation realm, unless one was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, it was a suicide mission. These people were bold enough to attack Foundation Establishment level six when they were at Foundation Establishment level three, but that didn't mean they were foolish. With their current strength, interfering with the Core Condensation realm... they would be lucky to escape.
After arranging for the surviving barbarians, Suolu Haer said to Chen Yang, "Chief Chen, further ahead is the vanguard camp of the Yaodu Prefecture."
"Based on my observations in the past few days, this vanguard camp has at least one Core Condensation level three and one Core Condensation level two."
The location Chen Yang was currently in was not a very important stronghold.
The Yaodu Prefecture had only assigned two Core Condensation realm cultivators, and their levels were not high, which was normal.
After all, battles between the Core Condensation realm rarely ended in an instant.
As long as they could escape, their main camp would definitely be alerted.
Suolu Haer said in a deep voice, "I can instantly kill one Core Condensation level three, but I am powerless against the remaining Core Condensation level two."
Suolu Haer's cultivation was not low, but even so, it was still difficult for him to instantly kill two Core Condensation Venerables.
Chen Yang estimated the time and frowned, "I'll deal with the remaining Core Condensation level two."
"There's still some time before the operation begins. I'm thinking, should we scout other places? Even if some people fail and are detected by the Yaodu Prefecture, can we take advantage of this window of opportunity to kill a few more Core Condensation realm cultivators from other vanguard camps of the Yaodu Prefecture?"
Suolu Haer looked at Chen Yang nervously, swallowed, and then smiled, "Chief Chen is indeed courageous and skilled."
"This method is certainly good. The more Core Condensation realm cultivators we eliminate, the less pressure the barbarians will face when competing for the spirit veins."
Chen Yang nodded with a smile and then asked Hou Qingzhu and the others to retreat first.
After the Core Condensation realm cultivators were dealt with, they would advance with the main barbarian army.
Chen Yang and Suolu Haer, during this time, not only scouted several other vanguard camps of the Yaodu Prefecture but also met Daozhi and the others.
Unexpectedly, Daozhi, Luo Xiaohao, and Ruan Dongjun were together.
What surprised Suolu Haer even more was that they had already begun preparing to engage the Core Condensation realm cultivators.
"No wonder the three of you are together. Then this vanguard camp of the Yaodu Prefecture will be left to you."
"If possible, eliminate a few more!"
Facing Chen Yang's instructions, Daozhi slowly nodded, "Don't worry, as long as the news doesn't leak out, eliminating a few more is not a problem."
Daozhi's strong confidence was not only due to his own strength.
It was because Luo Xiaohao and Ruan Dongjun had truly unleashed their potential since reaching the Core Condensation realm.
Although these two were already stronger than many people in the Foundation Establishment realm, they had not yet made a move after reaching the Core Condensation realm.
But even so, Daozhi had noticed that these two had been hiding their strength while dealing with the Foundation Establishment realm cultivators in the past two days.
It made sense... one was a legacy of the Sword Sect, and the other was also a legacy of a Venerable at the very least!
At midnight, the vanguard camps of the Yaodu Prefecture on the front lines fell silent.
After a day of fighting, they also needed to rest.
The Foundation Establishment realm cultivators were not made of iron; they also needed rest and to recover their spiritual power.
And at this moment, outside the vanguard camps of the Yaodu Prefecture, mysterious figures appeared.
Some powerful vanguard officers sensed the abnormal spiritual energy outside, but they paid it no mind.
After all, no one could have guessed that the barbarians would attack with Core Condensation realm cultivators first.
"Boom!"
Loud noises erupted in the vanguard camps everywhere.
The full force of a Core Condensation realm cultivator's strike was not only aimed at the Core Condensation realm cultivators of the Yaodu Prefecture, but the aftershocks also directly killed many Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.
Not even a scream was heard!
Some powerful Core Condensation realm cultivators did not die instantly from the surprise attack but were severely injured.
Some, unwilling to accept their fate, directly engaged the attackers.
But some Core Condensation realm cultivators immediately reacted and turned to flee.
However, a fishhook-like object directly hooked onto his forehead, and a powerful pull dragged him back.
