Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1374 - 20: Life-and-Death Speed, Cloud Technique Divine Skills, Emperor Sword and Wu Yue God! (15,000)

"Qiu Yuanshan regards this thing as his lifeline; the only person he would surrender it to without explanation is Zhao Xing, the Grand Minister of Agriculture."

"If you want to leverage Zhao Xing's connections, then pretend I never said anything." Chen Shijie pointed at Zhao Zheng: "His brother is right here, if you have the guts, just say his brother is in deep trouble, and you need the Shennong Hoe. Go on, why don't you? "

Long Xiao was utterly silenced by Chen Shijie's rebuke.

Everyone sitting here owes their fortune to Zhao Xing. Choosing to fight a hard battle is about not wanting to disgrace Zhao Xing, this is a shared understanding among everyone, how could anyone request Zhao Xing's help.

"Buzz~"

At this moment, a ray of moonlight suddenly appeared inside the Marching Hall.

Everyone immediately stood up.

"Commander Ye!"

"Salute, Commander Ye!"

The moonlight coalesced into a human shape, it was Ye Yuxong.

"What, without a Divine Artifact, you can't fight wars anymore?" Ye Yuxong surveyed the crowd: "That reasoning doesn't hold!"

"In two new eras, even before the Shennong Hoe returned, didn't we fight just the same?"

"The Kunyuan Shovel definitely won't come to the Ten Suns Army; it has its own purpose."

"But a turning point has appeared."

"Xia Jing, I've acquired a piece of secret intelligence, only ten people, including myself, on the Eastern Front are privy to this information."

Xia Jing's eyes gleamed, the higher-ups have given mission!

With experts like clouds on the Eastern Front, nearly a hundred are at Rule Realm like Ye Yuxong. Intelligence known to only ten people? That's surely a major task! Ye Yuxong managed to seize such an opportunity?

It must be a huge secret!

"But this secret intelligence is not for free." Ye Yuxong huffed. "Xia Jing, Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, after receiving this intel, you need to break through the Green Rock Battlefield within three months. If not, you will face military justice. Do you dare accept this command?"

"If you dare not accept, I'll pass it onto the commander of the Guangling Army. The commander there is Sky-reaching Priest Ji Bochang, he has applied for it several times."

"Accept! We accept!" Xia Jing responded decisively.

Ji Bochang? Let him wait!

"Good, accept the order!" As Ye Yuxong finished speaking, moonlight exploded, and a beam of light shot towards Xia Jing.

"Pa!" Xia Jing accurately caught the beam of light, revealing a sealed Heavenly Mechanism Scroll.

For the purpose of confining secrets, the Heavenly Mechanism Scrolls are all personally crafted by Ji Si.

If someone outside of Great Zhou's generals or of insufficient rank dared to open a Heavenly Mechanism Scroll, their lifespan would scatter halfway through the unraveling.

"You all go wait in the side hall, Long Xiao and Chen Shijie stay behind."

"Understood." Zhao Zheng, Wang Ji, Han Bing, Liao Rulong, and other generals immediately rose.

"Buzz~" After the others left, Xia Jing promptly opened the scroll, myriad words flashed past his pupils, yet the scroll itself was blank.

"Hiss~" Xia Jing couldn't help but gasp.

"What are you hissing about!" Long Xiao leaned over, seeing only a blank page, "What's going on, hurry up and say something."

....

"Hmm? This is actually a map of the Cliff Pass defenses? Marked with five key Soul Witch Army garrison locations? Hiss... where did such detailed intelligence come from?" King Shenluo couldn't help but gasp.

Western Front, Cliff Pass. The first line of defense composed of Soul-breaking Cliff and Netherworld Valley is referred to by Great Zhou's generals as the Cliff Pass.

King Shenluo is the commander of the Cliff Pass battlefield on the Western Front, leading eighteen armies including the Heavenly Puppet Army, Yuan Gui, Shenluo, Yuan Yu, it's also a main force in attacking the Holy Spirit Royal Court.

Since the Holy Spirit Royal Court specializes in Soul Control, to deal with those tricksters, it's most fitting to use armies centered around Shenluo Sect's Mechanical Puppets.

The mechanical puppets from Shenluo Sect have no spirit; how do you kill them?

King Shenluo is the ninth expert from Great Zhou to promote to Rule Realm; his status now surpasses even Ye Yuxong.

When Zhao Xing received intelligence from the Purple Bone Heavenly Venerate, King Shenluo was among the first to obtain the intel.

"Someone come!" King Shenluo called.

"Here." Immediately, personal guards appeared in the hall.

"At once, have Tianhe, Tiansi, Fu Ming, and Dragon Flame Army escort the Fire God, Hun Yuan, Heavenly Puppet, and Shenluo Army's Heavy Weapon Camps to the 'Star Valley' on the Western Front of the Cliff Pass."

"Send word to the commanders of the Fire God Army, Hun Yuan Army, Heavenly Puppet Army, Shenluo Army. Upon arrival, prepare for long-range strikes within three hours, no, within two hours."

"Yes!" The personal guard immediately flew out.

"Hahahaha." King Shenluo turned to the sand table, couldn't help but laugh. "Sang Duxing, this time you're doomed."

...

Sang Duxing, is one of the three vice-commanders of the Holy Spirit Royal Court, the highest commander at the Soul-breaking Cliff Pass; aside from Tuoba Hong, he holds the highest status among generals in the Holy Spirit Royal Court.

At this moment, Sang Duxing is patrolling over a small town.

Beside him, a group of people dressed in black robes waving Soul Banners.

"Ka~" Suddenly the earth outside the small town cracked open.

A white bone hand, broke the soil, exposed to the air.

Soon, a golden skeletal figure crawled out of the grave.

Green ghost flames flickered within the eye sockets of the skeleton.

"Ka ka ka ka~"

More skeletons climbed out from beneath the ground, some with ragged clothes still clinging to them and even with chunks of unrotted flesh!

The whole ground seemed to become illusionary, the earth seemingly transformed into a gray-black vortex.

Countless skeletons, ghosts emerged from it.

The wielders of Soul Summoning Banners also split into different formations.

Those with skeletons are generally high-grade Martial Artists; their combat power is stronger, requiring a matching soul to exert their full strength.
