A few hours later, two more demons got dragged back by a group of over a dozen Golden Core realm cultivators.

Gu Qing Shan slashed their throats and directly completed his title unlocking Quest.

[You’ve perfectly executed 5 instant kills against targets that are stronger than yourself]

[You’ve completed 5 instant skills against stronger enemies, unlocking the corresponding title now]

[To unlock the advanced rare title, you need to spend 100 Soul Points]

“I’ll spend it”

[You’ve spent 100 Soul Points, unlocked title]

[Current Soul Points: 80/40]

[Title: Ace Assassin (overwrote Assassin title)]

[Description: You only need one strike to kill an enemy stronger than yourself]

[Equipping this title, you gain the specialist Skill: Harvest (Advanced)]

[Harvest (Advanced): Whenever you kill an enemy in one hit, you’ll regain all the spirit energy used for that strike]

Seeing the new title Skill, Gu Qing Shan was very pleased.

Although it’s not exactly a Divine Skill, but this is actually more useful than a Divine Skill in war-scale wars.

The next thing he’ll have to do it breaking through to Golden Core realm.

“Thanks, you’ve really helped me this time” he patted Leng Tian Xing’s shoulder.

Leng Tian Xing just waved and dismissed it: “We’re brothers, it’s nothing to talk about”

“Then I’ll be leaving first”

“You won’t stay here for a bit longer?”

“Hm, the mission is a bit rushed”

“Fine then, I’ll see you off”

Leng Tian Xing saw him off until he left the camp, silently watched as he disappeared among the hills.

Leng Tian Xing squinted his eyes, muttering: “How strange, the entire alliance is still not used to this world, everyone is still at the stage of figuring it out”

“The places around here were confirmed by the Saints to not have any monsters that are too strong, so where would an emergency mission come from?”

“He’s in so much of a rush, what kind of trouble is he stirring up this time?”

He shook his head and went back in.

Being alone also has its advantages, Gu Qing Shan was able to go at his own pace, constantly rushing forward without rest. At noon on the second day, he finally made it to Ding Yuan General, Gong Sun Zhi’s camp.

This is a larger military camp than the others, you could even call it an outpost.

Numerous defensive formations covered the over dozen-meter-tall thick outside walls.

The cultivators responsible for guarding were stationed on the walls, standing a few steps from each other. Their expressions were cautious and serious.

Gu Qing Shan went around asking the guard cultivators but all got the same answer.

Gong Sun Zhi isn’t here, he seems to have went out to do a mission given by the three Saints, but haven’t come back.

Gu Qing Shan was a little bit impatient.

He already sent the communication talisman and made an appointment for this, but Gong Sun Zhi is nowhere to be seen even now.

From the looks of it, everything seems to be normal, and the demons of this area doesn’t appear to be that strong.

But Bai Hua Fairy would definitely not tell such a lie just to scare her disciple.

There certainly is great danger here, it just hasn’t erupted yet.

That’s why he needs to breakthrough to Golden Core realm as soon as possible to become stronger.

But breaking through a realm is always an incredibly dangerous thing to do, Tianma are always raring to come attack, and there are also countless unknown existences that want to possess your body, eat your soul, eat your flesh, some are even there simply to mess with the breakthrough from sheer malice… all sorts of things will take this opportunity when the cultivators are at their weakest.

That’s why he needs protection.

Unfortunately, back when he was still in the cultivation world, not only were his wounds not healed yet, he didn’t even have Soul Points to spend.

Now that he’s in Shen Wu world and has Soul Points to spend, Gong Sun Zhi is not here.

Shifu had also cut off communication, he wasn’t able to contact her.

What should he do now?

He just stood there at the camp’s gates, ignoring the strange looks people were giving him.

Breathing in deeply, Gu Qing Shan forced himself to calm down.

He can’t be too impatient, that only brings harm.

Gong Sun Zhi is a person that keeps his words.

It must have been a sudden mission that he couldn’t escape from that made Gong Sun Zhi leave the camp.

If that isn’t the case, he wouldn’t have broken his promise.

While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, heaven and earth suddenly became dark.

The rain of fire in the sky disappeared.

Intense spirit waves exploded like a hurricane, strong enough to keep everyone from opening their eyes.

“Amitabha!”

A loud Buddha chant was heard.

This is the Great Monk of Sorrow’s voice!

Gu Qing Shan instantly looked up, feeling tense.

He could only see a blinding golden light floating really far above.

The golden light was ramming the sky, but kept being pushed back down.

Boom!

Boom!

The golden light kept ramming it without giving up.

Suddenly, an intricate, unknown rune appeared from nowhere and hit the golden light.

The light instantly became dim, falling down.

A slender green figure appeared, caught the golden light, broke open space and flew inside.

Seeing that, Gu Qing Shan was stunned.

Not just him, every other cultivator was the same, stunned in place unable to move.

The golden light was letting out a very familiar gentle spirit energy wave, one that everyone here knew.

It was the Great Monk of Sorrow.

As for the slender green light, they also know it quite well.

Bai Hua Fairy.

Two of the three Saints of humanity had to break open space to flee.

This is completely unheard of.

So even people as strong as they are can fall.

Then, just what is above the sky?

And where is Xuanyuan Tianzun?

One mystery after another rose in their minds, making them all unable to calm down.

“Shifu…” Gu Qing Shan bit his lip.

With Bai Hua Fairy’s personality, unless the Great Monk of Sorrow’s situation is very bad, she would’ve went to fight back against whatever did that instead of fleeing.

Just what happened?

At this time, a loud rumbling wave of noise came from outside the camp.

The earth itself was shaking.

“Demons! Demons!” the cultivators on guard shouted.

“Rain of fire! Rain of fire!” more of them were screaming, looking around helplessly.

Gu Qing Shan went up and looked at the horizon.

And endless wave of demon was heading here, like a real tsunami.

The rain of fire that stopped before had reappeared, falling behind the demons, shaking everyone’s minds.

Gu Qing Shan squinted and found Rejuvenation realm demons, even a few Ascended realm demons among the tsunami.

“What do we do now!” someone shouted from despair.

The only Ding Yuan General Gong Sun Zhi isn’t here.

Without their superior’s orders, the cultivators don’t dare to abandon this outpost that’s already about to finish building.

Deserters in battle are punishable by death, according to military laws.

Two cultivators wearing golden armor quickly came towards him.

One of them was a Rejuvenation realm peak, the other an Ascended realm.

It’s rare for cultivators to reach Rejuvenation realm, and being able to reach Ascended is even rarer, there isn’t even 50 of them in total.

One of them looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: “I’m good with combat, but I don’t know much about strategic decisions, what do you think we should do?”

Gu Qing Shan placed his palm on the ground and felt it for a bit, then his expression changed.

“I think we need to retreat” he said.

Both the You Ji Generals heard him, but didn’t say anything.

The Rejuvenation realm cultivator looked at the Ascended realm cultivator.

The Ascended realm cultivator was also hesitant, then looked at Gu Qing Shan and said: “You give the orders”

This is him not willing to accept the responsibility for giving the orders to retreat.

In reality, any half-experience General would know that they should order retreat under such a situation.

The rain of fire is devastating, even the earth itself couldn’t handle its power, let alone a little outpost like this.

And there was also a tsunami wave of demons scrambling to run away under that rain of fire.

The Saints were also forced to flee just now.

At a time like this, what are you protecting that you’d be unwilling to run away?

As there’s no time, Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother to argue with him and flew straight up to the outpost’s podium.

He loudly ordered: “Everyone get on your airships, form a straight formation and retreat!”

The cultivators saw his golden armor, but seeing how young he was, they were a bit hesitant.

It took so much effort to make an outpost, yet we’re going to abandon it just like that?

This isn’t a small issue at all, if someone were to pursue this later, no one would be able to escape taking responsibility.

Seeing everyone was still hesitant at this point in time, Gu Qing Shan was a bit panicked.

If we wait anymore, we won’t be able to make it.

Tapping his Inventory Bag, he took out his badge and raised it.

“I am You Ji General Gu Qing Shan, everyone, obey my commands. If anything happens later, I myself will take responsibility for this alone!”
