Martial Saint!-Chapter 687 - 0425 Ancestor Save Me (Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)

"The Demon King Hall, Myriad Ghost Cave, Lion Ape King, and Earth Core. These four places are perilous, where even a Great Grandmaster entering faces nine deaths and one life. According to the Wanbang Council’s instructions, we should temporarily avoid these four dangerous areas and first reclaim the low-grade mining veins.

Compared to the Demon Race, the progression of human Martial Arts is swift. Three years from now, among the masters who have entered, quite a few should advance to Great Grandmaster. Once our strength firmly tips the balance in our favor, we can collaborate to seize the four major mining areas.

However, the Demon King Hall and the Myriad Ghost Cave will surely not sit idly by as we develop. Over these three years, they will definitely try to initiate monster tides to weaken our strength. They might even dispatch Great Demon Kings to assassinate our Heavenly Pride Grandmasters. When venturing out for pioneering, try not to exceed the range of a thousand miles from the stronghold to facilitate timely support.

Although the Six Heads and Blood Prison King are formidable, if the Wanbang Council truly decides to resolve it, they can send several near-Heavenly King level individuals to encircle them. However, doing so would also eradicate the value of the trial.

This pioneering endeavor will last five years.

The Wanbang Council will closely monitor the situation here. As long as personnel loss rates remain within the trial’s tolerable range, they will not intervene. Too much ease won’t cultivate true strong ones, as the old generation’s Absolute Peak was forged through blood and fire.

After the meeting,

Wei Fenghua retained five masters and said, "Our Wanxiang Battle Group currently ranks 18th among the 27 groups, which is relatively low. We must take the initiative next. Eight hundred miles away in Yellow Wind Valley, there is a Demon Race stronghold. Inside the valley, there are three Demon Kings, with the leader being the Sand King, ranked among the top 50 in comprehensive strength at the Demon King Hall, with Peak Demon King power. There are also nearly a hundred Third Realm Demons and over a thousand ordinary Great Demons. Who is willing to lead a team to slay and capture it, and once captured, needs to guard for a period to let the mining team extract the minerals?"

The Sword Embracing Tiger, with an apologetic face, said, "I am just one step away from Great Grandmaster, so I want to breach the fifth rank sooner..."

He’s not in a hurry. Once he becomes a Great Grandmaster, casually beheading a Great Demon King will fill the gap. Most masters in the top ten of the Heavenly List think this way.

A rough count reveals that just within the currently discovered small realm, there are over 160 Demon Kings, far exceeding the number of pioneering masters, and over thirty Great Demon Kings.

This doesn’t include the Ghost King from the Myriad Ghost Cave and those Fourth Rank and above Mutant Beast Kings scattered in the wilderness. Although the latter two are relatively fewer in number, added together, the master battle power should be more than double that of the Pioneering War Group.

In these five years, the task assigned by the council is how to use weak numbers to achieve victory against stronger forces in the situation of personnel disadvantage.

If merely slaying Demon Kings, it’s effortless, just a single run is enough. However, what’s most troublesome is having to guard a location far from the stronghold for a period, during which one will surely face harassment from demon ghosts, affecting cultivation.

"Senior Wei, I too am temporarily unavailable."

Likewise, Li Dalong, who is at the End Realm, shares this thought. He aims to advance to Great Grandmaster within three years.

Lu Chenzhou: "Let me do it, senior brother, Brother Chen Tang, do you have time? You can join."

As for only slaying a Demon King, he can handle it alone, but guarding would be better with more people.

...

Yellow Wind Valley, eight hundred miles...

Within the Mining Realm, extremely harsh weather often brews for no reason. Yellow Wind Valley is one such place, where throughout the year blows a type of airflow called [Gangsha Gale]. Under its blowing, mundane steel will turn into a pool of rust in less than three days.

Because of the Gangsha Gale, Yellow Wind Valley, located near the stronghold, as a Demon King power, has remained untouched for nearly half a year. Whether in eradicating the Demon Race or solving the wind disaster to mine ores, they both pose challenges.

Given a choice, everyone surely opts for the easier ones. Otherwise, unnecessary personnel loss lowers the war group’s rating, adversely affecting the completion of the final assessment.

This day.

A fierce battle unfolds within Yellow Wind Valley.

"Puchi!" A beautiful woman in a Cloud Mountain Battle Group uniform spews fresh blood, her figure flying backward, crashing into a cliff, with her chest heaving.

"Ling Daoist!" A handsome-faced man in a Daoist robe flies in, slashing a sword, which converges ten thousand swords into a shield wall, blocking in front, to ward off the tri-tine weapon stabbing, shattering the shield wall, and the man retreating out of the valley with the beautiful woman in tow.

Outside the valley, young Grandmasters from the Cloud Mountain Battle Group rush to follow, saving these two Grandmasters.

"Mother, are you alright?"

A middle-aged man with a Leisure Fan at his waist reaches the side of the middle-aged beautiful woman, eyes full of concern, who is none other than Li Kongkong. Once a genius class student at Huangshan Martial University, a Martial Arts Master.

This woman is his mother, Jade Fan Immortal Ling Susu, an End Realm cultivation Grandmaster, and also the vice-captain of the Cloud Mountain Battle Group, second only to the highest battle power of the team-leading Great Grandmaster.

"I’m fine, Qi Daoist rescued me in time."

Ling Susu looks at Qi Jingtian with a grateful gaze.

After the Daoist merger, the nearby [Huangshan Martial University] and [Qi Yun Martial University] formed the [Cloud Mountain Dao].

Qi Jingtian, runner-up in the Heavenly Road Cup.

Ranked 49th on the Heavenly List, with End Realm cultivation. Yet, due to his extraordinary genius status, his battle power is actually not weaker than Ling Susu.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so this is what the Heavenly Pride Grandmasters of the human world are like? Quite a disappointment indeed."

The yellow wind within the valley churns, forming an ugly giant face with antennae in the sandstorm, demon energy surging to the sky.

"Heh, only relying on Yellow Wind terrain, wait until I regroup, I will dismember you into eight parts next time."

Ling Susu said with hands on her hips.

Qi Jingtian transmits a voice: "Given our current poor state, let’s temporarily retreat. This Sand King controls the [Sandstorm Demon Territory], able to move invisibly through the wind and even enter the earth. I estimate that even if a Great Grandmaster enters the valley, trying to slay him amidst the Gangsha Gale would be a difficult task."
