Chapter 251: Gathering at the Pass
As Wang Ben watched from below the city wall, hundreds of people were also gazing up at Wuguan. The eyes of both sides collided in the half-Void, creating brilliant sparks, and a suppressed atmosphere enveloped the entire Wuguan.
A thousand feet away from Wuguan, hundreds of people stood clearly divided into two groups. Judging by their attire, they were undoubtedly the Young Powerhouses from various realms.
From their positions, it was evident that the teams from the Eight Directions had distinctly split into two factions. One side consisted of the Flame Continent, Green Forest Continent, Water Cloud Continent, and Light Continent, while the other side was made up of the Wings of Wind Continent, Thick Earth Continent, Dark Continent, and the yet-to-arrive Thunder Continent.
For this trip to the Qin State, each realm had dispatched nearly a hundred strong individuals, almost occupying one-third of their respective forces. The Fifth Stage Cultivators had also sent more than one representative. Excluding the team from Thunder Continent that had not yet arrived, there were already over six hundred Fourth Stage and above strong individuals gathered among the Seven Realms below, with nearly twenty Fifth Stage experts. Such power could easily rival a Fifth-Rank Sect with a legacy spanning hundreds of years in Thunder Continent and could sweep through tens of thousands of troops in Nine Continents Mainland.
"Sister Feng Ling, what do you think we should do now..." Tu Tao asked with a fawning smile as he stood before Feng Ling from Wings of Wind Continent. However, his eyes were fixated on Feng Ling's ample bosom, feeling a surge of excitement as he spoke, unable to suppress a gulp.
Seeing Tu Tao's demeanor, another strong individual from Thick Earth Continent standing behind him couldn't help but frown. However, since Tu Tao was the leader for Thick Earth Continent this time, he refrained from saying anything and unconsciously took a few steps back to distance himself from Tu Tao.
Although Tu Tao's cultivation was notoriously rebellious in Thick Earth Continent, his reputation for being lecherous was equally well-known.
"Hmph, Tu Tao, watch your eyes. Don't think that just because we are allies you can act recklessly!" A cold voice came from behind Feng Ling. Liu Mei's beautiful eyes glared icily at the lecherous Tu Tao, her words laced with intense Killing Intent.
"Cough cough... Sister Liu, I think you misunderstood. I have always admired Sister Feng Ling; how could I disrespect her? I am merely waiting for Sister Feng Ling to respond," Tu Tao immediately straightened his face upon hearing Liu Mei's reprimand and began to explain with righteous indignation, making it seem as if Liu Mei was wronging him.
"You..." Seeing Tu Tao's shamelessness, Liu Mei was instantly infuriated. She never expected someone could be so brazen. An endless gray atmosphere began to envelop her as she prepared to strike at Tu Tao. Although she understood that Tu Tao was powerful, she could no longer hold back.
Witnessing this scene, many strong individuals from both Wings of Wind Continent and Thick Earth Continent tensed up, fearing that a fight might break out between the two. Even the Thick Earth Continent expert who had distanced himself from Tu Tao looked worried. Meanwhile, Tu Tao remained unfazed, still wearing his trademark smile.
"Sister Liu, don't argue with this rogue; we need to focus on what’s important right now." A hand as white as jade suddenly pressed down on Liu Mei's hand. A terrifying energy swept through, instantly absorbing the violent wind around them. Feng Ling's voice then rang out.
After giving Tu Tao a fierce glare and snorting lightly, Feng Ling was too lazy to engage in a fight with him. This time her brother Feng Yu had entrusted her with leading the team; she naturally wanted to complete this mission well. No matter what happened, she would not allow the colossal Qin State to fall into their hands.
"Brother Yin, what do you think we should do to break through this pass?" Feng Ling's gaze involuntarily turned to the side where Yin Wuqie, representing the Dark Continent, stood.
Yin Wuqie remained shrouded in his ominous black robe. Although the sun was shining brightly in the Void, a thick chill surrounded him, far more pronounced than that of the nearly one hundred strong warriors from the Dark Continent standing behind him.
Upon hearing Feng Ling's question, a flicker appeared in Yin Wuqie's dark eyes, and his hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"The guards at this pass are extremely difficult to deal with. It will not be easy to get through Wuguan. Although there aren't many strong warriors on the city wall, there are plenty of defensive mechanisms. Coupled with the treacherous nature of Wuguan, even if we charge together, we may not gain much. However, we don't need to rush to break through; it would be better to wait and see their reaction. They should be more anxious than we are..."
Following Yin Wuqie's gaze, Feng Ling noticed that the people from Flame Continent were also frowning tightly, seemingly having thought of something. This made Feng Ling less anxious, and the worry on her brow dissipated.
According to the positions of Nine Continents World and Nine Great Empires, the closest territories to Qin State were undoubtedly occupied by Flame Continent's Han Kingdom and Green Forest Continent's Chu Kingdom. If they could not reach an agreement with Qin State this time, they would likely face the greatest threat. They would absolutely not allow such a vast territory to fall into the hands of Wings of Wind Continent and Thunder Continent.
Representing Flame Continent was Fire Cloud, who had previously interacted with Zhan and others. This time he brought along the most cultivators, totaling nearly one hundred and fifty people. In addition, Green Forest Continent also brought one hundred and twenty strong warriors, while other continents clearly lagged behind.
"Although Wuguan is treacherous, it cannot withstand our momentum. Last time we were too cautious; if we charge with full force this time, we can definitely cross this pass. If you are afraid of sacrificing your subordinates, many strong warriors from Flame Continent are willing to take on the role of vanguard."
Seeing the flickering expressions of everyone, Fire Cloud's anger surged as he spoke loudly. His rough voice instantly reached everyone's ears.
Just as he finished speaking, a slender young man stepped forward. Dressed in a white long robe, he appeared exceptionally graceful and natural, with a compelling brilliance shining in his black eyes.
"Brother Fire Cloud is right; those guarding the pass are merely ordinary soldiers and cannot possibly stop our advance. The cultivators from Green Forest Continent are also willing to charge into the pass alongside our allies from Flame Continent. As long as we get past this barrier, we can force the royal family of Qin State to reach an agreement with us. At that point, we can work together to drive out those from Wings of Wind Continent and then wait for our Supreme Techniques experts to arrive."
The young man's eyes sparkled as he spoke confidently, seemingly envisioning how he would be praised by elders in his sect later on. His thin lips involuntarily curved into an excited smile.
Leading Water Cloud Continent was an ordinary-looking young woman who wore no makeup and had no striking features. However, the terrifying aura surrounding her made her appear anything but ordinary; even from a distance, she evoked a sense of dread.
Seeing Fire Cloud and the young man's eager expressions, her brow furrowed slightly. She understood that the current situation for Qin State indeed posed the greatest threat to Flame Continent and Green Forest Continent. However, the guards at this pass were not ordinary individuals; charging directly might allow them to barely cross but would certainly result in significant casualties. Currently, only about five hundred individuals had descended upon Nine Continents from various worlds; if they suffered heavy losses, she would absolutely not want to see that happen.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her gaze towards a man standing in front of everyone.
This man was undoubtedly a rare beauty in the world, dressed in a White Robe, with his hands naturally resting behind him. Even when standing casually, he exuded an aura that was captivating. If the young man from the Green Forest Continent had a majestic presence, this man embodied a noble lineage that seemed to emanate from deep within his blood. Just standing before him evoked an involuntary sense of inferiority.
As if sensing the gaze of the woman from the Water Cloud Continent, he slowly turned around, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and his demeanor gave off an incredibly warm and sunny feeling.
"Hehe, since both of you have made up your minds, let's take this pass."
What was originally a difficult task sounded effortless coming from his lips, as if it were as simple as raising a hand. Moreover, there was an indescribable sense of conviction in his words. Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two from Fire Cloud brightened; if their faction needed a leader, this man was undoubtedly the one.
"But..." The woman from the Water Cloud Continent furrowed her brows, her expression hinting at hesitation.
"Hehe, Sister Qingyun need not worry. Although our numbers are few, each individual is quite strong. If we use Divine Technique, passing through this pass shouldn't be too difficult. However, the guard at this pass is indeed formidable; otherwise, they wouldn't have blocked us last time. So we need to make some arrangements. If we do it like this..."
At this point, he suddenly stopped speaking and began communicating with several people through Divine Consciousness.
Just then, the ground began to tremble slightly. The tremors intensified, and suddenly a cloud of dust surged upward from the flat ground in the southeast direction. Everyone present at Wuguan involuntarily shuddered slightly and narrowed their eyes as they felt a powerful aura rushing towards them.
