Chapter 491 - 9: Sun and Moon Divine Jade (Part 4)
"Over a thousand elite soldiers can easily kill those free from flaws and suppress a Great Mage. A formation of ten thousand is unafraid of a Martial Arts Grandmaster."
"Back when Great Wei was first established, there was an army of three hundred thousand that was famed for its overwhelming formation, flattening several major Cultivation Sects, killing a dozen Martial Sects and Masters, and forcing the Celestial Master Dao to hand over their true teachings. How awe-inspiring it was!"
Yang Meng spoke in a low voice:
"And to form such a formation, the soldiers must carry out commands without hesitation, marching as one."
"Only then can they form an unbeatable military battle array!"
"However..."
"Achieving this is incredibly difficult!"
During the early years of Great Wei’s establishment and the flourishing of martial culture, it was possible for three hundred thousand to form a battle array. Now, there are very few who can form a ten-thousand-man formation.
"Miss Yang is right."
Tong Yong sighed deeply:
"If the might of the Imperial Court’s army still existed, what fear would there be of the Six Paths of Demon Heaven, let alone the Beggar Gang or the Exclusion Sect."
"What a pity!"
As a general of the Imperial Court, he was deeply disappointed with the current state of the Imperial Court’s army, feeling a sense of frustration.
Especially after seeing the private soldiers trained by Yang Meng from the Fang Mansion, and then looking at his own soldiers, his expression changed constantly.
The Pingxi Army was well-equipped and numerous, but when it came to morale and formation tactics, they couldn’t compare to the private soldiers below.
If it weren’t for the small number of Fang Mansion’s private soldiers and the difficulty in expanding them, he would have considered reporting to the Prince.
"Fang Zheng!"
"Father-in-law!"
Elsewhere.
Fang Zheng actually encountered Linghu An.
"You came too?"
"Yes."
Linghu An gently stroked his beard and nodded:
"This is the Black Wind Stronghold. Who wouldn’t want a piece of the pie from the accumulated treasures over the years?"
"By the way."
His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he spoke in a low voice:
"What do you think about the matter I mentioned?"
"Are you referring to investigating the relics of the Robbing Valley Immortal?" Fang Zheng shook his head lightly:
"Father-in-law, this journey is far, and others might not be trustworthy. Why take this risk?"
"The Robbing Valley Immortal was a Master six hundred years ago, especially adept at cultivating Spiritual Medicine," Linghu An spoke:
"It’s said that after he achieved mastery, he went even further, comparable to a Rogue Immortal. If we can enter his ancestral estate..."
"We might be able to prove ourselves as Martial Sects!"
If the relics are real, based on the habits of the Robbing Valley Immortal, there would definitely be many Spiritual Medicines left behind.
Even if the Spiritual Medicines were not fully matured back then, after six hundred years, they should be sufficiently aged.
"Martial Sect?" Fang Zheng shook his head:
"The authenticity of the relics is hard to discern. It could take over a year, or even several years, to reach there. Can you leave your family behind, Father-in-law?"
"Moreover..."
"The outcome is unpredictable, why take such a risk?"
Unlike Fang Zheng, Linghu An, though well-maintained like a middle-aged man, was actually in his seventies or eighties.
Even a person free from flaws begins to decline at this age.
Time,
is running out.
"Alas!"
With a soft sigh, Linghu An gazed into the distance, his expression wistful.
......
"Charge!"
"Boom..."
The army attacked, and after losing their Village Chief, the Black Wind Stronghold was almost defenseless, with only a little resistance before the gates were breached.
From there, things became simple.
Experts from various major forces advanced, private soldiers and troops followed for the siege, and the people of Black Wind Stronghold scattered and fled.
"Swish!"
"Swish swish!"
Fang Zheng moved like a phantom, seemingly pursuing the experts within Black Wind Stronghold, but actually heading quietly towards his predetermined target.
As the sun set and stars shifted.
A hazy moonlight spilled from the sky.
Fang Zheng’s figure appeared in a small grove, following Black Wind Ascendant’s description, arriving in front of a giant rock.
Reaching out to feel under the rock, something was already in his hand.
The Moon God Jade!
One of the Sun and Moon Divine Jade.
Also the supreme treasure that enabled Black Wind Ascendant’s ’extraordinary talent’.
