Wu Shattered Star River

#82 - Chapter 82: Going to War

Three days later, the first battle commenced.

The warriors participating were all selected from above; family warriors from below, and warriors from the Yunmeng Pavilion's Battle Hall, were not qualified to volunteer.

The God-Slaying Squad was not in the initial battle lineup.

For the first battle, out of the two hundred warriors, one hundred and fifty were from the families below, and fifty were from the Yunmeng Pavilion.

Of the ten Profound Origin Realm cultivators, six were Yunmeng Pavilion deacons, and the remaining four were powerhouses from the families below, all at the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm.

It was obvious!

Han Jinmao placed great importance on the first battle, dispatching a strong lineup, with a clear intention.

He wanted to win the first battle and boost the morale of the Yunmeng Pavilion.

Before the battle, Great Elder Han Jinmao, Second Elder, and Third Elder all emerged, and Han Jinmao reiterated his promises.

As long as enemies were killed, merit points could be earned, which could be directly exchanged for various resources upon return. Those who died in battle would receive generous compensation, ensuring the warriors had no worries about their families.

The two hundred warriors, adorned with Yunmeng Pavilion badges, marched out grandly. Once outside the city, they dispersed, with the ten Profound Origin Realm cultivators each leading nineteen others into battle.

The battlefield was the nearby Thirty-Three Peaks. All Thirty-Three Peaks were battlegrounds, and the warriors had to fight fiercely for five days and five nights before returning to their respective bases.

Since they had to fight for so long, it was meaningless for the two hundred warriors to gather together.

If the four hundred warriors fought together, the outcome would be decided in half a day, not five days and nights, and the casualties would be even more severe.

Therefore, both sides chose to divide their forces. If you were skilled and brave enough, you could act alone, as long as you could kill enemies.

Jiang Han, upon learning that he was not in the first round of battles, chose to seclude himself again.

He had a large number of Profound materials and elixirs in his space ring, and if he had time, he would definitely continue to build his altar and increase his combat power.

Otherwise, if he was killed outside, wouldn't his billions of Profound materials be given to the Heavenly Wolf Hall for nothing?

Zuo Yiyi and Qi Bing were the same. Niu Meng, on the other hand, dozed off every day. It was unknown whether he had a special technique that allowed him to cultivate in his sleep.

Only Jiang Lang seemed to dislike cultivation and couldn't sit still. He often sneaked out at night and returned at dawn, no one knew what he was doing...

Five days passed in a flash. Countless people woke up from their cultivation, left their houses, and went to the square at the city gate to see the results of the battle.

The results... were tragic!

Out of the two hundred who went out, less than fifty returned, and more than twenty were injured. Some had their hands and feet cut off and were carried back.

Four of the ten Profound Origin Realm cultivators had died in battle, and two were severely injured.

By killing enemies, one could obtain their badges, which could be used to tally the results and calculate merit points.

A deacon from the Internal Affairs Hall led people to start tallying the results, and the results cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.

About one hundred enemies from the Heavenly Wolf Hall had died, and only three Profound Origin Realm cultivators had been killed. The Yunmeng Pavilion had lost this round.

The returning Profound Origin Realm warriors revealed the reason for this defeat. The Heavenly Wolf Hall had dispatched three Young Wolf Lords, all at the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm.

Although their realms were the same, these three Young Wolf Lords possessed powerful divine abilities, and their combat power crushed the Profound Origin Realm ninth level cultivators on this side.

If it weren't for the fact that two Profound Origin Realm cultivators on this side risked their lives to severely injure two Young Wolf Lords, they would have been completely annihilated.

The Heavenly Wolf Hall has six Wolf Kings, two Wolf Queens, and seven Young Wolf Lords.

These seven Young Wolf Lords are the strongest of the younger generation in the Heavenly Wolf Hall, all reaching the eighth or ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm, and most importantly, they all possess powerful divine abilities.

Zuo Yiyi was unhappy when she heard this, and directly took Qi Bing to request a battle!

However, Han Jinmao refused Zuo Yiyi's request and told her to go back and cultivate, striving to break through to the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm.

The Great Elder also told Qi Bing to go back and cultivate, and break through to the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm first.

Qi Bing had been building the ninth level of her altar for some time, and had enough Profound materials, so a breakthrough was imminent.

Zuo Yiyi had broken through to the eighth level of the Profound Origin Realm some time ago, and was currently building the ninth level of her altar. These two had very powerful divine abilities and were considered the strongest of the younger generation in the pavilion.

In the second round of battles, none of the God-Slaying Squad was sent out. Jiang Han couldn't have asked for more, and seized the time to continue cultivating.

Zuo Yiyi and Qi Bing knew that if they didn't break through to the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm, they probably wouldn't be sent out.

After the two returned, they immediately went into seclusion. Niu Meng rarely dozed off in the courtyard and entered his room.

The entire courtyard was only occupied by Jiang Lang, who was bored and dazed. During the day, he occasionally returned to his room to refine some divine talismans, but at night, he always sneaked out.

It was forbidden to wander around Longyun City without a reason, but it was unknown what means Jiang Lang used, but he was always able to avoid the patrolling law enforcement team.

Time flew by quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye!

The Yunmeng Pavilion and the Heavenly Wolf Mountain had already fought four rounds. The Yunmeng Pavilion had suffered more than five hundred casualties, while the Heavenly Wolf Hall had suffered more than three hundred. The Yunmeng Pavilion was far behind in terms of numbers.

The entire Longyun City was shrouded in gloom. If this continued, the Yunmeng Pavilion would be defeated.

Defeat meant losing the Longyun Mine!

This mine was the lifeline of the Yunmeng Pavilion. Once the mine was lost, the Yunmeng Pavilion's annual income would be greatly reduced.

Without Profound Stones, how could they purchase resources to improve the strength of their warriors? If the strength of their warriors did not improve, the Yunmeng Pavilion would become weaker and weaker.

In such a vicious cycle, the Yunmeng Pavilion would eventually be destroyed by other forces, just like how the Tianmeng Mansion was replaced by the Yunmeng Pavilion back then.

If the Yunmeng Pavilion was destroyed, the days of the various families under its banner would not be good. They would prosper together and suffer together.

The atmosphere in Longyun City was very oppressive. Many people cursed the Heavenly Wolf Hall, and some blamed the Seven Fiends Mansion for favoring the Heavenly Wolf Hall.

However, cursing was just cursing, and no one could do anything about it. Any Reincarnation Realm cultivator from the Seven Fiends Mansion could sweep across the Yunmeng Pavilion. What could they do?

The fifth round of battle began. This time, Han Jinmao became ruthless and bestowed all the participating warriors with an elixir that could temporarily increase their combat power.

This kind of elixir was very expensive. Two hundred pills were distributed at once, which could be said to be a huge investment.

These two hundred pills still had some effect. After five days, one hundred and twenty of the two hundred people returned, and more than one hundred people from the Heavenly Wolf Hall were killed. This side won back a round.

However...

The sixth round of battle began. The Heavenly Wolf Hall also bestowed elixirs that increased combat power.

At the same time, the two Young Wolf Lords who were severely injured in the first round of battle went into battle. This side was immediately bloodbathed, and only more than thirty people returned.

On this very day!

Qi Bing came out of seclusion and successfully built the ninth level of the Profound Origin Altar, becoming a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Profound Origin Realm.

Han Jinmao waved his hand and ordered the God-Slaying Squad to come out of seclusion tomorrow and participate in the seventh round!

In addition to the five Profound Origin Realm members of the God-Slaying Squad, Han Jinmao carefully selected five relatively powerful warriors.

Three of them were the patriarchs of the families below, and the remaining two were elders of two families.

The remaining one hundred and ninety people were carefully selected, and they were all Purple Mansion Realm warriors with rich combat experience. This time, Han Jinmao placed great hopes on Qi Bing, hoping that they could win a great victory and turn the tide.

Jiang Han was awakened from his seclusion. He was a little helpless. If he had been given another half a month, he might have succeeded in building his fifth level altar.

Jiang Han took a bath and had a good meal before finding Jiang Lang and asking, "Have you found out for me? Are there any Demonic Sound Beasts nearby?"

The Demonic Sound Beast was the sixth monster on the Heavenly Beast Cauldron. Jiang Han had asked Jiang Lang to inquire about it before he went into seclusion.

"Yes!"

Jiang Lang said very definitely, "However, there are none in the Thirty-Three Peaks, but outside the Thirty-Three Peaks, the number is not very large."

"This monster is the most powerful existence among the second-order monsters. It can emit terrifying demonic sounds that make people dizzy. With your soul strength, you will probably be stunned upon encounter and easily become the Demonic Sound Beast's meal. What are you inquiring about this for?"

"So perverted?"

Jiang Han touched his nose, his brows furrowed into a "川" shape. If he could kill ten Demonic Sound Beasts, he would gain a new divine ability.

The probability of surviving this war would be greatly increased, and he might be able to help the Yunmeng Pavilion reverse the situation.

Now listening to Jiang Lang's words, he felt a little pained.

If he couldn't kill the Demonic Sound Beast, how could he obtain the sixth divine ability?
