Chapter 1955: What Kind of Lord Is He?
"Third Lord, Third Lord, it’s not good, the experts from Wuwan Valley have brought people and invaded. Our Four Great Camps went out together but can hardly withstand them."
Just as Xu Nian was preparing to continue his retreat, his Communication Sound Talisman rang.
The person contacting him was the attendant arranged for him by Song Ren.
Previously, Xu Nian had instructed that if there was anything, he should be notified via the Communication Sound Talisman.
Originally, matters like this would typically be handled by Song Ren and the others and wouldn’t come to Xu Nian.
Therefore, upon hearing such news, he felt somewhat surprised.
"Where are the Great Lord and Second Lord?" Xu Nian asked.
"The Great Lord and Second Lord are in retreat, so we couldn’t find a way out and can only ask for your intervention." The attendant hurriedly said.
"Alright, I’m coming out now, wait for me outside my residence." Xu Nian replied.
Having said that, Xu Nian merely changed into a simple outfit before heading towards the outside of his residence.
As for Zhao Yanyun, she was still cultivating in the Chaos Divine Palace.
After cultivating for thirty thousand years, her cultivation had reached the Peak of Divine level.
Xu Nian’s Divine Origin Liquid had now been nearly exhausted.
Moving forward, regardless of whether it is Xu Nian himself or Zhao Yanyun pursuing a breakthrough to the God Level, a substantial energy source will be needed.
Nonetheless, Xu Nian was temporarily unhurried. It wouldn’t be too late to search after crafting a God-level Puppet.
For now, addressing the trouble at Black Mountain Territory is the priority.
Upon exiting the residence, Xu Nian saw a divine-level peak expert standing outside.
This was a goddess with an extremely alluring appearance.
Both her figure and looks were incredibly captivating.
Evidently, Song Ren deliberately arranged this; if Xu Nian wished, this goddess would surely satisfy all of his desires.
Of course, Xu Nian naturally wouldn’t do such a thing.
Especially considering this woman was arranged by Song Ren, that alone was enough to keep Xu Nian at a respectful distance.
"Greetings, Third Lord!" The goddess looked at Xu Nian and immediately showed a respectful expression.
She then curiously examined Xu Nian.
Seeing Xu Nian only had a cultivation at the Peak of Divine level, she was visibly slightly stunned.
To be honest, this was her first time encountering Xu Nian.
"What is your name?" Xu Nian asked.
"Replying to the Third Lord, this servant’s name is Yann Lin." The woman responded charmingly.
Her every gesture carried a seductive and alluring aura.
Yet Xu Nian seemed oblivious to this and continued, "Yann Lin, tell me what’s really going on."
"It is like this, Third Lord, just a few days ago, the Azure Dragon Camp discovered an assault from Wuwan Mountain, and thus led a team to resist it, but unexpectedly, three of the five Great Commanders who went were directly slaughtered, with more than eight thousand brothers having died or been injured significantly, forcing us to urgently seek support from the Lords, but surprisingly, both the Great Lord and Second Lord were in retreat."
"So the other Three Great Camps had to join forces to resist, but the opposition has God-level Experts, and seventeen commanders from the Four Great Camps were directly slain by the opponent’s god and four of the camps have suffered devastating losses. Now they can only take a fierce stand at the forefront of Luoxia Mountain, and upon sensing that the Third Lord had left retreat, I immediately informed you." Yann Lin opened her mouth and said.
Xu Nian nodded upon hearing this.
Song Ren and Fang Yu were probably in the process of refining that Fierce God Pill.
For them, thirty years wouldn’t suffice to refine this Mid-grade Heavenly God Level Pill.
Xu Nian had also relied on the Chaos Divine Palace, spending a thousand years to fully refine the Fierce God Pill.
Thus, Song Ren and Fang Yu needed a considerably longer time to achieve breakthroughs.
"How many gods are on the opposite side?" Xu Nian asked.
"Two, a man and a woman, the woman seems to be at the Early Level of God, and the man has already reached the Middle Stage of God. Should we go wake the Great Lord and the Second Lord?" Yann Lin cautiously proposed.
"No need, take me to the battlefield." Xu Nian immediately replied.
According to his guess, the mentioned two gods were probably the gentle female celestial and that guy named Chen Qing he had encountered before.
Previously, Chen Qing had repeatedly targeted him and attempted to kill him.
Xu Nian had long wished to eliminate this person.
Now is the perfect opportunity.
"Yes!" Yann Lin hesitated somewhat, but still agreed.
In reality, she believed Xu Nian, at the Peak of Divine level, would be ineffective even if he went there.
After all, the opponents included someone at the Early Level of God and another expert at Mid-level God.
How could someone not yet at the God Level compete against a Mid-level God?
Of course, these thoughts she kept to herself.
Xu Nian naturally noticed Yann Lin’s thoughts but was indifferent.
Once at the battlefield, everything would become evident.
Soon, the two arrived near Luoxia Mountain.
People from Black Mountain Territory were currently gathered here, with the combined forces of the Four Great Camps previously numbering over twenty thousand, now just fifteen thousand or so.
One could say this battle had been a significant loss for Black Mountain Territory.
At a distance of five hundred miles from Black Mountain Territory, Wuwan Mountain people were also gathered.
The two armies were still in a ceasefire state, evidently, neither side was in a rush to attack.
Under Yann Lin’s leadership, Xu Nian soon arrived at the leadership tent of the Four Great Camps.
However, upon Xu Nian’s arrival, no one came to greet him.
Yann Lin had already communicated with the commanders of the four camps before coming.
Yet no one came to meet them, clearly not welcoming Xu Nian this Lord.
"Third Lord, shall I call them?" Yann Lin said awkwardly, gamely facing Xu Nian.
"Alright, call them, I’ll be here waiting." Xu Nian nodded and said.
Yann Lin felt instantly more embarrassed, reluctantly standing up to enter the leadership tent to call them.
But she knew these commanders would definitely not come out.
Couldn’t the Third Lord see this?
Xu Nian naturally understood this too, but as a Lord, he should hold proper decorum.
If these fellows wish to leave him hanging, then he’ll simply wait here, because he has the time.
...
Meanwhile, as Xu Nian waited, Yann Lin also entered the tent.
Inside the tent at that moment were seven commanders.
They all had angry expressions.
"Lady Yann, has the Third Lord arrived?" The Great Commander of the Azure Dragon Camp questioned with a frown and cold voice.
"He has arrived, just outside the tent, Great Commander, aren’t you going out to meet him?" Yann Lin furrowed her brows and asked.
"Meet him? What does this Third Lord count for? Wanting us to meet him, as far as I know, the Third Lord is just a newcomer from the Vermilion Bird Camp who simply defeated Zhu Heng, isn’t that right, Zhu Heng?" The Azure Dragon Camp’s Great Commander chuckled and glanced at Zhu Heng.
Zhu Heng snorted coldly without comment, "Xu Nian certainly is a genius with great potential."
"What is potential for? The Divine World is full of geniuses, but few survive. What does Xu Nian count for?" The White Tiger Camp’s Great Commander spoke disdainfully.
"So you commanders mean to leave the Third Lord hanging outside?" Yann Lin furrowed her brows.
"We’ll leave him hanging and let him know his weight. He’s got the title of a Lord but not yet at the God Level, so how does he want to be a Lord?" The Great Commander from the Xuanwu Camp said with a cold snort.
Yann Lin’s brows furrowed instantly upon hearing this.
"Sister Yann Lin, you go out and tell the Third Lord that we are recovering from our injuries. For the next battle, he’ll have to manage on his own. Whether he can mobilize our warriors will depend on his skill." The Azure Dragon Camp Great Commander laughed coldly.
"Haha, right, he’s the Lord isn’t he? Let him face the Heavenly Gods from Wuwan Valley; I want to see if he’ll come back alive." The White Tiger Camp Great Commander joined the laughter.
Upon hearing this, Yann Lin felt helpless and reluctantly walked out of the tent.
In her view, these guys were just sending Xu Nian to die.
