Chapter 501: Chapter 389: Gongsun Yang Came Personally (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Hey, did they catch that thing last night?"

The next day at noon, at the Ninth Mountain Military Camp, it was meal time, bustling with people.

A soldier sat down with a plate and bowl, approached a familiar comrade, and quietly inquired. The person had patrolled the night before.

Last night, a demon infiltrated the Ninth Mountain Camp. This news wasn’t deliberately sealed, so many inside the camp heard about it, but it didn’t cause much commotion.

After all, the Mountain-cutting Army’s job is to handle such situations. Besides, there’s a General on the Ninth Mountain who’s slain countless demons. Just a few days ago, the corpses of those demons were still being delivered up the mountain. That sight was so overwhelming that most of the new recruits hadn’t fully processed it yet, so they naturally weren’t too afraid of that unseen demon.

Thus, even though there was some disturbance last night, by daybreak, the prohibitions in the camps were lifted, and everyone went about their business, resuming training with the whistle as usual, as if nothing had happened the night before.

"No, I heard it clashed with a few of our Piaoqi and got away. Now no one knows where it’s hiding. Everyone should be cautious; the camp is currently loose outside but tight inside. Don’t take it lightly."

"By the way, if you notice someone around acting or speaking differently than usual, report it immediately. It’s said that monster can possess people, very cunning."

A soldier who joined the patrol and search the previous day spoke in a low voice, his face solemn, and glanced towards a bustling spot not far away.

There, a few Green Armored Officers were scanning with sharp eyes, holding a device resembling the Eight Trigrams.

The inquirer glanced towards the place those officers were looking, then smiled,

"Hey, naturally, we’ve got the orders. But what’s there to fear? We’ve got the General. Any demon entering is courting death. Isn’t the fate of those countless demon corpses the proof from a few days ago?"

"Exactly! With the General here, naturally we’re not afraid of those evil spirits!" Upon hearing the mention of the General, the soldier opposite immediately responded with respect. "But still, we must be cautious. Don’t let those beasts succeed."

The questioning soldier’s smile turned somewhat unnatural at the last remark, and he quickly changed the subject, edging closer with a flicker in his otherwise unremarkable eyes, and lowering his voice further,

"I understand. By the way, which reminds me, I heard those demon corpses were transported to the Colonel Palace, and it’s not just our Ninth Mountain in charge, but also others. Who are these people?"

The soldier opposite straightened immediately upon hearing this, giving the man a sidelong glance, his voice turning colder,

"Don’t pry into things like this; it’s not our business to know."

The soldier who started the topic chuckled awkwardly, "Why are you giving me that look? I was just curious. Never mind, I won’t ask anymore."

Saying so, he lowered his head and began eating quickly. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

The soldier opposite glanced at the guy, hesitation in his eyes, but finally lowered his head to eat his meal.

Soon after finishing his meal, the man bade farewell and left with his bowl.

After the person left, the soldier opposite’s eyes flickered, then he stood up and approached a Green Armored Officer inside the camp to say a few words, pointing at the departing comrade’s back.

The Green Armored Military Officer pondered and nodded, then beckoned someone to follow.

Not long after, someone reported back that the person had been lost just after turning a corner.

Immediately, angry shouting and cursing erupted in the tent!

"Damn it!"

"Find him!"

Meanwhile, looking from the camp below towards the Ninth Mountain’s summit, through the swirling snow, a majestic hall stood with mysterious majesty.

Ever since the name of Ninth Mountain’s Colonel spread from more mouths, the Colonel Palace representing his identity increasingly projected a unique and commanding aura.

At this moment, the entire Colonel Palace was heavily guarded, closed off to the outside, with prohibitions fully enforced.

In the courtyard where the elderly resident at the back of the Colonel Palace recuperated, all irrelevant personnel had been withdrawn.

Inside the room, Lian Nichang personally held a bowl, bent over to feed Elder Wu medicinal soup.

"Military Officer Lian, you’ve personally looked after these old bones of mine a few times now. Where have those young ladies gone? Has something happened?"

Though Elder Wu was frail, being from the Sky Patrol Department and having served as a Patrol Officer for many years, such changes couldn’t escape his notice. Once or twice was fine, but he found it odd afterward, so he slightly lifted his eyelids and asked slowly.

Lian Nichang’s brow flickered slightly, feeling that the old man before her, who had experienced countless storms, wouldn’t be fazed by a mere demon. Thus, she offered a preemptive explanation, "Elder Wu, a demon snuck into the mountain. The soldiers under my brother are pursuing it. For your safety, they have withdrawn everyone else and are personally guarding both inside and out."

Upon hearing this, Old Wu’s expression remained steady, though he felt apologetic, "You should tell the Generals not to bother themselves. At my age, I’ve seen quite a few storms. If not for good luck, I wouldn’t even know how many times I might have died already... A demon entering the mountain requires their attention on the soldiers; don’t let them squander resources on me..."

Saying such a long sentence, Old Wu found it somewhat laborious, occasionally needing to pause and catch his breath.

Lian Nichang helped soothe his breath with one hand. She had also said, "We understand the intent, but the Generals wouldn’t listen. Don’t worry about these matters, Elder. My brother administers his troops adeptly and wouldn’t let a single demon disrupt the ranks."

"The medicine’s finished, so take a good rest!"

Saying so, Lian Nichang laid down the backrest behind Old Wu’s head, allowing him to lie down.

"Ah," Old Wu, feeling both helpless and powerless, didn’t cause any further fuss. He responded softly, his eyelids lowering heavily.

In this moment, he couldn’t restore his past condition; age caught up with him, and the foundation of Martial Arts was destroyed early on. His vitality was weak, so even having his life snatched back, he needed to recuperate slowly.

Lian Nichang noticed, and got up from the bed’s edge, then headed towards the front hall.

There, a red-armored figure sat cross-legged in the void, opening his eyes.

Yun Tiansheng was stationed in this room, although outside, there were several layers of protection.

He was inside, Lu Ming was outside, and the invited Southern City Mo Garrison was covertly watching the mountain’s every move with his freshly-awakened Divine Skills. Liu Qing was managing the situation at the mountain’s base.

The four were clearly divided in responsibilities, acting decisively, with no commotion arising from last night’s incident.

"Thanks to Yun Piaoqi for the hard work, asking you all to guard here. Earlier, the old man woke up perceiving issues, and I spoke truthfully about it. He also mentioned it’s not that serious."

Lian Nichang expressed gratitude to Yun Tiansheng for his effort.

His feet touched the ground, "No problem, there’s no need to say more. I and everyone are only fulfilling our duties. That thing attacked our Communication Captain, learning the General was not at Ninth Mountain, and dared to break into the camp, surely plotting something. I can’t think of anything else, but Colonel Palace must not fail."

Lian Nichang nodded, her heroic brows furrowing, "That Demon, as described by Yun Piaoqi before, seems cunningly powerful. It’s right for several Generals to be cautious. But if a place needs assistance, tell me! I’ll certainly contribute my share of strength!"

She said, clasping hands in salute.

"Naturally!"

As Yun Tiansheng’s words just fell, his ears suddenly moved, hearing a faint cry outside the window.

Then, his figure moved, pushing open the door, soaring upwards, his gaze sharpening as he looked down towards the mountain.

And at this moment, below Yunding Mountain, a silver light pierced through the wind and snow, flying towards Ninth Mountain Camp.

That was the silver light of the Sky Shrieking Falcon!

Quickly, that silver light descended into Ninth Mountain Camp.

"Sky Shrieking Falcon? Who dispatched it at this time!" Lu Ming’s voice sounded in Yun Tiansheng’s ear.

The opposite stood in the void dozens of feet away, similarly startled by the Sky Shrieking Falcon’s activity.

Yun Tiansheng was also uncertain, "I don’t know, wait a bit, Liu Qing will surely bring news."

Thus, both of them watched and waited, about half a cup of tea time later, amidst the mountain’s wind and snow, two streaks of light broke through, only to be obstructed at the opened prohibition, landed on a cliff corridor bridge.

Yun Tiansheng and Lu Ming, along with the hidden Southern City Defender, flashed towards the guests, landing on that corridor bridge.

Ahead, a heavy white hazy light screen separated this corridor bridge.

Yun Tiansheng took out a Token, striking the light screen to open a path.

Outside the pathway, three zhang away, stood two people side by side.

One was Liu Qing, clad in red armor!

One was an old General clad in green armor!

A goat beard as long as his chin!

Yun Tiansheng’s gaze was startled upon seeing this person.

Wasn’t this the Gongsun Yang they were supposed to find at Chuanzhong Pass!

Yet in that instant, there was doubt, for yesterday’s matter hadn’t settled, could it be...

He and Lu Ming couldn’t help but exchange a glance, seeing worry in each other’s eyes, then wanted to check if the Southern City Defender could discern anything, transmitting the thought.

But suddenly, the green-armored old General spoke,

"No need to look, I just heard Military Officer Liu explain the situation."

"A filthy thing dares to impersonate me, but I have the General’s Qi Fortune Incense protection."

As he spoke, his sleeve flew out a golden scroll, which then expanded against the wind to two zhang high.

Immediately, the pages rustled, golden words flew out one by one, forming a golden phantom.

Holding a Three-pointed Two-blade Spear, clad in Bright Armor, the figure tall and imposing like a mighty mountain.

"Salute the General!"

Upon seeing this golden phantom, the crowd bowed in respect.
