Mountain Patrol Military Officer-Chapter 397 - 325: The Second Divine Treasure (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Chapter 397: Chapter 325: The Second Divine Treasure (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Ticket)

"If you dare to rebel, know the consequences. Don’t even think about escaping, I’ll be watching you closely. Today, you show your disloyal heart early, with troops well prepared, but don’t forget that the outer city is still in my hands. Haha, you collude with the Hu People and Demons to defy the Court. Whatever the reason, once the main forces arrive, no one can save you."

When he said this, his tone was bone-chilling, word by word, his face tattoos contorting into a ferocious expression. He put on his large hat and then glanced at the soldiers and horses who threw off their helmets and armor in the flames, and, with a low curse of "useless", he rose into the sky, swiftly disappearing into the snowstorm.

Just as he said, the outer city gates were indeed controlled by the Vanguard Army.

Once he left, several streaks of light quickly followed suit, including those three Colonels who were just passing by. They never expected such a big event to occur, either still shaken or with a frantic glance, they hurriedly followed suit like avoiding the plague.

Everyone knew the grand trend of the Court; with the Heavenly Army approaching, Wei Zhong was foolish. Such an action was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and now it would implicate his numerous subordinates and soldiers.

In the sky, Wei Zhong’s face slightly changed. Gongyang Jianshan was right; the outer city was now in the enemy’s hands. He must break through the Southern City Gate; no matter how cataclysmic the aftermath, he needed to secure a retreat now.

At that moment, a streak of light flew towards him. An Ge, with sword in hand, saluted and spoke with a piercing gaze and sincere thanks,

"Thank you, Colonel Wei, for saving the lives of the sisters of my clan. I never intended this matter to entangle you and the garrison soldiers. An Ge is ashamed, so please, Colonel Wei, advise us on what to do next. I am willing to lend my strength!"

Wei Zhong looked at the real owner of the Heavenly Fragrance Building in front of him and thought about the woman mentioned in the letter from the Nine Colonels. He shook his head and exhaled,

"Miss An, there is no need for guilt. This wasn’t caused by you; even without this incident, the Vanguard Army Commander wouldn’t have let me off!"

He snorted coldly, his eyes and brows frosty, and glanced at a portion of the surrendering Vanguard Army troops below, "Hmph, thinking of my soldiers being trampled by this bunch of useless drunks, my heart burns with rage. Damn the Heavenly Army."

"Right now, the outer city gates are in the Vanguard Army’s hands; we must break through the South Heavenly Gate so we can retreat to Shu land. If a disaster comes then, I, alone, will take responsibility."

An Ge couldn’t help but feel respect rising on his face as he heard this Colonel’s generous words, knowing that such treatment came from entanglement with herself and Chen Yuan, yet he did not utter a single complaint.

The clan members in the Heavenly Fragrance Building also needed to evacuate quickly!

"We’ll follow the General’s command!"

Soon, in the cold night, the sound of passing orders spread,

"By the General’s order, quickly break through the Southern City Gate!"

Not long after, the force inside the city thundered, the iron hooves roared towards the Southern City, charging out, armor clashing in the long streets.

That night, Tianxiong Pass completely boiled over!

Countless citizens of Tianxiong Pass were startled awake by the horse hooves in the cold night, and figures of all sorts watched with excitement.

The more the fighting, the more lively it got!

And in the roaring cold night of the raging battle between the two armies, a ferocious iron bird gleaming with silvery light and made from a dark golden Alien Gold burst out from the Northern City Pass of Tianxiong, heading northeast. Atop it stood a Vanguard Army Military Officer with a fierce gaze, holding an urgent letter, hurrying towards the Wildfire Plain where a Court army of 150,000 awaited.

Almost at the same time, on a hillock seven or eight miles outside the South City Gate of Tianxiong Pass,

A sudden bulge appeared in the snowfield, and then a green light blasted out from within.

A figure clad in green armor landed, standard issue from the Sky Patrol Department, with a narrow secret tunnel underneath that could only accommodate one person.

In the distance, the curtain of light flickered over the snow-covered South City Gate. Shouts and cries deafened the skies; the two armies were at an impasse.

This secret tunnel was one of the passages of the Sky Patrol Department of Tianxiong Pass. Despite the heavy Vanguard Army’s blockade and sealing of the Southern City Gate, they had their ways to send people out.

The Garrison Orderly Officer placed two fingers to his lips and blew hard, with a crisp whistle resonating in these snow-laden forested hills.

"Shh"

Before long, a grove of trees from the southwest direction of the valley began to shake, and snowflakes rustled down, the sound of branches snapping, approaching swiftly with something rapidly drawing nearer.

Soon, a leopard of about three meters in length shook off the snowflakes from its body, leaped forth, and revealed its figure.

The Green Armored Military Officer jumped on directly, his gaze sharp.

"Go to Jiange Pass!"

A miaow roars; the leopard, as if understanding human nature, immediately leaps towards the boundless southern forests.

...

Tianxiong Pass is in sheer chaos; the situation has completely spiraled out of control.

Meanwhile, in another part of the cold night, a traveler pressing on through the wind and snow is single-mindedly repeating a task.

Refining Fire Crystals, extracting Fire Essence, pouring it into the Heart Sutra acupoints, and igniting the furnace.

In the cold wind and snowy night, amidst the twin horns of the Gu Diao, a batch after batch of fiery, splendid Fire Crystals shatters. Chen Yuan is like an increasingly blazing furnace, his aura growing more and more vigorous.

Within his body, Heart Sutra acupoints are continuously being unblocked.

The eleventh furnace, the twelfth furnace... the thirteenth...

Adding points simultaneously, dual managing.

The progress of the Heart Sutra is visibly leaping forward at an observable pace.

And so, Chen Yuan works tirelessly day and night; time unwittingly slips through his fingers, and soon dawn brightens, becoming more radiant.

The sun is obscured by thick clouds, but the change in brightness can be used to estimate the hour.

Around one quarter past noon the next day, still three thousand miles from Tianxiong Pass, a sudden thunderous roar echoes between heaven and earth.

Chen Yuan’s second Divine Treasure’s temple doors are finally kicked open after a day and night of massive Fire Essence infusion.

The second Divine Treasure is unlocked!

In an instant, his heart region emits an immeasurable Divine Light, a suction force pulls Chen Yuan’s spirit into it.

Apart from the Fire True Thunder, it is empty, resembling a domain of fire...

Opening the Divine Treasure is just the first step; the second step is to construct the Divine Platform.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan feels an epiphany, and thinks of that coffin.

Why settle for mediocrity?

In the past years, no matter what remarkable person it may have entombed, now it shall all serve him!

He abruptly opens his eyes, and his hands tear open a black fissure only a few feet long in front of him, then a strand of Golden Core True Fire is transformed into a line of fire and spewed into it.

About half an hour later, Chen Yuan sucks in a deep breath, the Golden Core True Fire is retracted, and the black fissure rapidly diminishes, sucked into his mouth, thus pulled into his Faith Divine Treasure.

Soon, within a domain of clear fire like crystal, a whole coffin enveloped in fiery rosiness floats in it.

From this scene, Chen Yuan suddenly makes a terrifying conjecture: could that horrifying fire domain be a person’s heart-turned Divine Treasure.

Fortunately, the cultivation of the second Divine Treasure under the fierce fire day and night is finally completed!

In the Fire God Storage, fire scorches like a prairie fire; a supremely majestic Phoenix cry resounds, and a Fire Phoenix coalesces and dances about within the Divine Treasure.

And at this moment, dozens of miles away in the northwest, a thunderous roar resounds across heaven and earth.

Trails of brilliant lights stream northward.

And on the ground, an ironclad flood sets the snowy plains aflame.

Banners flapping in the wind, on them written the words "Jiange".
