God of Pets-Chapter 633: Before the Battle

"If I want to create a Secret Divine Artifact, like this axe, how much primordial energy do you think it would take?" Chen Guan asked, taking out the Mountain-Opening Axe.

"You actually have another Secret Divine Artifact?" The Daoist Mortar was somewhat surprised and, after sensing it, said, "With your current amount of primordial energy, to create such a Secret Divine Artifact, it would probably require a million times your current primordial energy."

"Is the gap that big?" Chen Guan said, "If someone were to put it in for duplication, what price would they have to pay?"

"The price is basically all of their lifespan."

"Then why don't I just find some people to put the axe in for duplication?" Chen Guan thought this was the correct way to use the Daoist Mortar.

"Of course you can, as long as they have the willingness, there's no problem. But if there's no willingness, the item can't be put in. If you throw them in, then it's your willingness, and you're the one paying the price. To directly sacrifice others, you'd need the Daoist Pestle as an aid," the Daoist Mortar said.

"Alright, the crucial problem now is that we can't find the Daoist Pestle," Chen Guan said helplessly.

"Therefore, you need to quickly advance to the Great Cave Heaven, find the Daoist Pestle, and also continue to level up to deal with the Sky Secret Spirit that may appear at any time," the Daoist Mortar hurriedly added, "I can guide you to find that leaf now."

"I can't do it now; I have something else I need to do first. I'll go after I'm done," Chen Guan said.

"Then I'll tell you the place, and you can go by yourself later. I need to continue to sleep and recover," the Daoist Mortar informed Chen Guan of the place where the leaf was being suppressed.

The reason Chen Guan was not going immediately was that, firstly, he wasn't sure whether to use that leaf as the Celestial Destiny Secret Treasure.

Secondly, he had to go to Mute City to rescue the humans there.

If it weren't for training troops, waiting for Bai Xiuyan to recover, and until Wu Shen could regain energy, Chen Guan would have already gone.

Now that the Purple Sun Corps had adapted to the new equipment and Secret Skills given by Chen Guan, Bai Xiuyan had almost fully recovered, and Wu Shen could be used again, it was time to head to Mute City.

This battle was not only about rescuing Mute City but also about thoroughly crippling Nine Demon City, to facilitate Chen Guan's subsequent occupation of Nine Demon City's territory.

The Purple Sun Corps consisted of only so many people, and not much preparation was needed. All combat forces boarded the Purple Sun City, and all belongings were stuffed into the Imperial Palace of Purple Sun City.

Apart from leaving one squad to watch over the city gate and prisons, everyone boarded the Purple Sun City, heading in the direction of Mute City.

Bai Xiuyan and Nan Zilan felt extremely gratified with Chen Guan's decision to take on Mute City's plight.

They empathized with the suffering of Mute City, believing that a great man, a hero, should act in such a manner, thus enhancing Chen Guan's image in their minds.

The generals and soldiers of the Purple Sun Corps shared the same sentiment, feeling full of fighting spirit at this moment.

Ximen Bing was also very excited, as she had never seen how brutal real warfare could be.

Jin Taohua, on the other hand, remained indifferent; to her, these matters were unimportant—she simply wanted to learn more about this person.

"Zi Donglai left Celestial Yang City with the Purple Sun Corps? Where are they going?" Mr. Xiao was shocked upon receiving the news.

Xuan Dongyue took out the map, looked at the direction Purple Sun City was heading, pondered for a moment, and then said, "They should be going to Mute City."

"Impossible, right? Mute City is besieged by an army of 200,000 Demons, even if Zi Donglai has sky-high abilities, how many Demons can his Secret Hidden Strike kill?" Mr. Xiao found it hard to believe.

"They should be heading there. Mr. Xiao, I'll trouble you once more to follow them and take a look," Xuan Dongyue seemed very certain.

Mr. Xiao had no choice but to go, though he still found it hard to believe that Zi Donglai truly intended to lead troops to Mute City.

He had seen with his own eyes how terrifying Zi Donglai's strike was, like that of a giant god, knowing Zi Donglai was very strong, but 200,000 troops weren't a problem to be solved with a single strike.

What's more, within the Demon Corps were four of the Nine Demons, as well as powerful demons sent to help from Demon King City.

Unless these demons were brain-dead and knowingly clustered together to let Zi Donglai strike them all to death, it was impossible for them to lose.

Mr. Xiao went in the direction Purple Sun City departed, and as he followed, he discovered that Purple Sun City was indeed heading towards Mute City.

"No way... are they really going to be so reckless..." Mr. Xiao's expression grew increasingly peculiar.

...

Gao Weiqiang was sharpening his knife; he would sharpen it every day because he hoped his knife would always remain in the sharpest state.

The blade grew sharper with each pass, yet his heart became increasingly calm, as if exchanging the hostility in his heart for the blade's sharpness.

There was a knock on the door; Gao Weiqiang didn't ask who it was, merely said, "Come in."

He didn't need to ask, as there was only one person who would think of looking for him.

"Purple General." Gao Weiqiang didn't lift his head, continuing to sharpen his knife.

He had grown accustomed to being overlooked and was used to doing his own thing.

"These are for you." Chen Guan placed the items one by one on the table.

A set of black soft armor, including complete armor, a helmet, and boots.

This was a set of Level 60 Unparalleled Secret Treasure armor called "Darkness Before Dawn," which Chen Guan found in the treasury of Mei City, probably part of the Mei Saint's collection.

When Chen Guan saw this Secret Treasure, the first person he thought of was Gao Weiqiang.

The Darkness Before Dawn set, due to the set bonus enhancing each piece's status, its defensive power was nearly on par with heavy armor, yet it was light and highly flexible.

But that wasn't the main point; the main point was that this Secret Treasure also had the effect of Dark Stealth, almost akin to invisibility in darkness.

Though not very useful in broad daylight, it was very fitting for Gao Weiqiang.

Chen Guan brought the set to Gao Weiqiang to enhance his capabilities. He was a very crucial single combat unit of the Purple Sun Corps, and Chen Guan wished to arm him to the teeth.

If Gao Weiqiang had more primordial energy, Chen Guan would have given him the Mountain-Opening Axe to use, allowing him to decapitate enemy generals with one strike.

So Chen Guan also brought two daggers, meticulously selected from the treasure hoard left by the King of Great Xia—two high-quality Unparalleled Secret Treasures.

These two daggers were also a set.

The Level 60 set of Mountain and Water Dual Daggers, one named "Cut Through Thorns," the other "Slash Vines."

Secret Skills, pets, and Secret Treasures, Chen Guan placed various items in the room; they were all Level 60 Unparalleled Treasures.

Gao Weiqiang didn't say much, donning the Secret Treasures, taking in the pet, learning the Secret Skills, and finally trying the Mountain and Water Dual Daggers.

Hmm, they felt quite handy.

Chen Guan also transferred a pet to Gao Weiqiang. For the stolid Gao Weiqiang, his eyes suddenly showed emotion, and he looked up at Chen Guan, dazed.

"For me?" Gao Weiqiang asked uncertainly.

Because the pet Chen Guan had transferred to him was a newly acquired Secret God-level pet, the "Master of Burying Flowers."

"Did I give it to the wrong person?" Chen Guan asked with a smile.

The Master of Burying Flowers was indeed very strong, but for Chen Guan, its role in his hands wasn't as significant.

His own combat power was enough to rival the Master of Burying Flowers.

Letting the Master of Burying Flowers be with Gao Weiqiang would maximize its potential.

"Rest assured, Purple General, I will not let you down. Before the battle starts, I will behead the enemy generals," Gao Weiqiang said with a firm gaze.
