Chapter 1828: Chapter 1822: Let’s Watch the Show First

Xiu Miao’s expression slightly froze.

What does that mean? Do these core disciples actually need the help of those outer sect disciples on the battlefield?

He knew Zhang Menglong’s strength was formidable, even capable of taking on the former outer sect disciples’ student president. By comparison, he admitted he was not as good as Zhang Menglong.

But an intern disciple like Zhang Menglong is an exception. If all the outer sect disciples were like him, the Sunset Sect could dominate the world, and other superpowers wouldn’t even be fit to polish their shoes.

From his understanding, besides Zhang Menglong, the other outer sect disciples are simply at the level of previous years. Maybe due to Zhang Menglong’s influence, they’ve attracted some decently talented people, but overall, they are still at the level of an intern disciple.

No matter how much they excel, they are far from being comparable to these inner sect disciples. Zhang Menglong saying such words really underestimates them.

"What do you mean by this?" Several inner sect disciples immediately showed expressions of anger. They were actually looked down upon by a group of intern disciples. Where did they get the confidence to say such things to them?

"Senior, please don’t be angry," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "It’s just as it sounds. We have no disrespectful intention. We just mean that on the battlefield, everyone helps each other, that’s all."

"Hmph!"

One of the inner sect disciples snorted coldly, "There’s no need for junior brothers and sisters to worry about that. As long as you can take care of yourselves, that would be the greatest help to us."

"However, the battlefield is so chaotic, we might not even be able to keep an eye on you all," another inner sect disciple said, "You’d better stay back a bit. Maybe the war will end without you needing to take action."

"Yes, if you can pass this collective test, you will have left some record in the Sunset Sect."

"Alright, everyone, let’s stop the bickering. We are all disciples of the Sunset Sect. There’s no need for such tension," Xiu Miao truly was a genuinely kind person, without the airs of an inner sect disciple, which made the intern disciples have a very good impression of him.

"We won’t rest either. We’ll go to the front line directly with the seniors." Zhang Menglong sought everyone’s opinion, and all the intern disciples obeyed Zhang Menglong’s orders unconditionally.

"In that case, Ling Xi, lead them to the front line. You are more familiar with the situation there," the King instructed, "Ladies and gentlemen, the fate of our Shenxiao Empire is in your hands."

...

For the reinforcements of the Sunset Sect, the Shenxiao Empire directly sent the Emperor’s dedicated ship to transport them. After a few spatial jumps, they arrived at the battlefield.

As soon as he stepped off the ship, Zhang Menglong felt a strong warlike atmosphere.

Of course, this warlike atmosphere was not the smell of gunpowder formed by heavy bombardments of thermal weapons, as on Earth. In a world of this level, the concept of thermal weapons no longer existed. Even weapons used were energy weapons.

Surrounding this battlefield was a chaotic energy field, and the air was filled with violent energy fluctuations. This was merely the front-line military base of the Shenxiao Empire. If it were the battlefield, it would be unimaginable.

"In this military base, we have deployed 12 armies with more than 5,000 legionaries," Princess Ling Xi explained as she led them around the military base, "But the Xingyu Empire is determined to engage with us, and their troops are no less than ours."

"Oh, this is the commander of our 12 armies, General Lou Xiao," a burly middle-aged man approached, exuding a fierce aura. One could tell at a glance that he was a battle-hardened veteran, whose strength had reached the peak of the Divine Cultivation Realm.

"All our twelve army generals are at the peak of the Divine Cultivation Realm, and General Lou Xiao is close to the half-step Dao Realm. If one day our Shenxiao Empire becomes a seventh-grade empire, it would likely be because Lou Xiao advances to the Dao Realm."

"Thank you all for coming to the Shenxiao Empire," General Lou Xiao nodded with a smile, "Speaking of which, we have quite a connection. I was also a core disciple of the Sunset Sect."

"Oh?" The inner sect disciples’ eyes lit up.

"Then we must respectfully call General Lou Xiao our senior."

"Hahaha, then I won’t be formal," General Lou Xiao was also straightforward, "With all of your help, defeating the Xingyu Empire is just around the corner, hmm?"

General Lou Xiao paused for a moment when he saw the identity cards of Zhang Menglong and others.

"Isn’t the Sunset Sect being reckless, sending these intern disciples here to their death?" General Lou Xiao, having been an intern disciple himself, knew well what level intern disciples were at.

"We’ve said it before," a few inner sect disciples finally found a chance to critique, "Having them here, we are not sure if they’ll help us or cause trouble."

"Let’s say less, everyone," Xiu Miao said, "Maybe the sect just wants to temper everyone’s mind. If you find it too dangerous, just watch, and join when the opportunity is right."

"What is that sound?"

At this moment, a strange music sounded suddenly from the battlefield.

"The confrontation on the front line has started again!" General Lou Xiao’s expression suddenly turned grave, "That music is a musical technique deployed by an inner sect disciple of the Divine Profound Hall. Under such music, their warriors can boost their strength by almost 10%, and their stamina and recovery also enhance significantly."

"I didn’t expect there would be such extraordinary people in the Divine Profound Hall?" Xiu Miao’s expression also became serious, as they had received news that the Divine Profound Hall had sent over 800 inner sect disciples, more than their number.

"Let’s go, let’s take a look first!"

"We shall go see as well."

...

On the front line battlefield, the warriors from both sides were already mixed together. Ground and sky, there were almost no blind spots in the war; everywhere were berserk energies and attacks. If one was not careful, they could be hit by multiple attacks.

Such a war was thousands of times more terrifying than the close combat with cold weapons of Earth’s past!

Clearly, the Shenxiao Empire’s forces had already fallen to a disadvantage. Boosted by the music, everyone seemed invigorated, and this battle had just started, yet the Shenxiao Empire’s army was already showing signs of retreat.

"Ling Yin, it’s up to you now!" Xiu Miao gave a nod to one of the inner sect female disciples.

The female disciple smiled slightly and directly took out an instrument that looked like an ancient zither and began to play.

"This girl has some skill!" Zhang Menglong, who had also studied this kind of musical combat skill, immediately sensed the wonder in the music.

The warriors of the Shenxiao Empire who heard this music immediately felt invigorated, as if an infinite strength surged from within, and they managed to halt their derailing momentum.

The legion commander in this battle zone was engaged with the opposing legion commander in a mêlée. When he heard the music, he looked back and showed a look of joy, "Hahaha, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Hmph, the Sunset Sect is just the lowest-ranked superpower. Do you expect them to reverse the situation?" The opposing legion commander sneered. In their view, the Divine Profound Hall was far more powerful than the Sunset Sect.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your old rivals have arrived."

"We knew they’d come, been waiting for this!" From the Xingyu Empire’s military base, hundreds of people flew out, all bearing the badges of the Divine Profound Hall’s inner sect disciples.

"We should get going too!" Xiu Miao ordered, and the disciples of the Sunset Sect were already prepared.

"Come on, come on," Zhang Menglong said slowly, "Let’s watch the show first!"
