Chapter 874: Practitioners and Warriors

A strand of magic power transformed into a crane and took flight, skimming across the firmament like a streak of light. Its speed was extremely fast; under normal circumstances, even if someone were to attack the crane, it would be difficult to intercept and kill it.

Soon, this crane followed the cross-dimensional point to an ancient, wild land, and following a certain aura, headed toward the Wood God City in the south.

Despite the long distance, the crane successfully delivered the message.

"It is a message from Tai Yi's crane."

Immediately, practitioners within Wood God City noticed this situation, and they promptly notified Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, who were presiding over Wood God City.

Very soon.

The crane was escorted into the City Lord's Mansion.

After the Wood God lineage had vacated the premises, this place became a place of quiet cultivation for the two immortal maidens. At this moment, the golden light hanging down from the lush, giant Wood God tree above illuminated the area in a brilliant gold, with rich spiritual energy flowing everywhere.

This spiritual energy had immense benefits for cultivation; it could nourish the body and mind, nurture the soul, and allow practitioners to break through realms faster.

It was just that after the two reached the Three Flower Realm, the efficacy was no longer obvious. However, the two immortal maidens were not idle; instead, they began to concurrently cultivate immortal techniques, hoping to advance their strength further. After all, the desire to become a Dao-Achiever was too slim, requiring one's comprehension of the Great Dao to reach an extremely high level.

And these years, they had been fighting and killing, so what comprehension of the Heavenly Dao could they have?

When the crane was escorted into the City Lord's Mansion.

The two immortal maidens were immediately startled. They stepped on auspicious clouds and walked out together. When the crane dissipated before their eyes, Li Yi's message was read by them.

"Tai Yi is going to start a cross-dimensional war and wants us to bring people to support him, but we must leave some people behind to guard Wood God City; we cannot let the Wood God be lost," Xuan Yuezi said.

Xiang Xiangzi said: "Tai Yi is already a god of one side. The ownership of Wood God City is already known to the Merchant Lord. Even if we leave, no one would dare to offend the territory of a god of one side. Leaving twenty practitioners who are not good at fighting to maintain the operation of Wood God City will suffice."

"Besides that, we must also go to Red Gold Mountain once. The group of Mountain Lord-level Divine Blood Warriors who have defected to Tai Yi are also very powerful. It is time to let them show their loyalty. By the way, bring that Green Phoenix along too. It is a gift from the Wind Kingdom to Tai Yi. It was not easy to tame it, and having a Mountain Lord-level mythical creature as a mount can also be considered a way for our Seven Immortal Maidens lineage to save face."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuezi did not refute it, but nodded in agreement.

She did not like disputes, and since Xiang Xiangzi had decided, she would not refute it.

"Immediately gather everyone and strive to return to Earth by tomorrow. By the way, I will go to Master Tiangong's side myself. With a great war imminent, it is time for the Red Gold divine artifacts in his hands to be brought out. Moreover, I have been coveting those two newly refined immortal-path warships for a long time. Now with Tai Yi's order, Master Tiangong will have no way to refuse."

Xiang Xiangzi said with a smile, and then the two of them immediately flew out of the City Lord's Mansion.

Very soon.

The high-level practitioners scattered throughout Wood God City gathered in one place after receiving the voice transmission. Li Yi had already greeted them before leaving, and they also knew that since they had come across dimensions, there would eventually be a day when they would be needed.

Moreover, after more than a year of recuperation, their strength had already recovered to its peak, and they were not afraid even when facing strong enemies.

It had been less than half an hour.

Very soon.

Two warships blooming with ten thousand rays of golden light appeared above Wood God City. After Xuan Yuezi and Xiang Xiangzi obtained the authorization for the warships, they immediately took the two warships, riding a huge mythical creature, the Green Phoenix, and flew toward the direction of Red Gold Mountain.

Although the Merchant Lord and the Wise One in the city felt a bit curious upon seeing this scene, they did not think much of it.

After all, since the establishment of the Red Gold Kingdom, the movements of practitioners had been constant, and flying back and forth was a common occurrence, not worth paying much attention to.

As long as that Thunder-controlling God named Dayi was still alive, even if he did not stay on the mountain, no war would occur in this thousand-mile Red Gold Kingdom. Even if the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains passed by, he would have to appear extremely respectful.

This was the deterrent power of a god of one side.

When Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi arrived at Red Gold Mountain and recounted Li Yi's order to Dou Kun, who was the High Priest, High Priest Dou Kun immediately summoned the strongest warriors of each tribe on Red Gold Mountain.

"The order from the god of one side has come. The Lord calls upon you to go to a distant place to fight against cruel monsters. You are all the strongest warriors in your respective tribes. This time, it is time to show your loyalty and bravery. Please bring back as many of the enemy's heads as possible, so that everyone knows the strength of the Red Gold Kingdom's warriors. Your tribes are all watching you; do not let your tribes be disgraced."

High Priest Dou Kun's words ignited the fighting spirit of all the Divine Blood Warriors.

Fighting and killing were, after all, the duty of a warrior.

Moreover, this was the first time following a god of one side into battle. If they performed poorly, it would disgrace the entire tribe, and it would also be unfavorable for the future survival of the tribe.

"High Priest, rest assured, we will let the enemy witness the strength and bravery of us two brothers." The Divine Blood Warriors from the Heavenly Vein tribe, Jiao Cang and Ji Ao, pounded their chests heavily and made a promise.

They were Thirty Mountain Lords who had recently followed practitioners to learn some basic spells and had also mastered some exquisite martial arts, which had allowed their strength to make huge progress.

Now, they were full of fighting spirit.

"I will take the lead in charging at the very front to win the greatest merit for my tribe," a Divine Blood Warrior named Xun Fei said coldly. He was a Fifty Mountain Lord from a powerful tribe.

But precisely because of this, he had to defend the honor of his tribe even more and could not be compared unfavorably to those small tribes.

Warriors from other tribes roared one after another, expressing their desire to fight for the god of one side, win merit, and strive for sufficient benefits and status for their tribes.

"Very good, follow the two female warriors beside the Lord; they will take you to the Lord's side." High Priest Dou Kun checked the headcount at this moment and sent these warriors into the warships.

After careful selection, they only chose fifty powerful warriors.

Because Li Yi did not need the weak.

And those warriors who were not selected were very disappointed, even somewhat ashamed. Although they were the strongest warriors in their tribes, their strength on Red Gold Mountain was very ordinary, and people stronger than them were everywhere.

"Do not be disappointed. The Lord has been arranging for people to train you and enhance your strength. If you feel ashamed, you should train even harder in the future. Now, standing behind you are not just your tribal clansmen, but the entire Red Gold Kingdom." High Priest Dou Kun comforted these warriors while motivating their fighting spirit.

These warriors were still relatively simple; being motivated like this, they immediately became as if they had been injected with chicken blood and decided to train even harder after returning.

"These fifty Divine Blood Warriors gathered together to fight across dimensions; just thinking about it makes one feel terrified." Xiang Xiangzi watched these primitive people enter the warships, feeling secretly shocked in her heart, while at the same time feeling sorrow for those great demons in the Demon God Realm.

"Xuan Yuezi, we must prepare a set of Red Gold Dao artifacts for everyone, but we cannot overstep our authority; we must let Tai Yi distribute them to them." Afterward, she secretly transmitted her voice.

"I know, especially these fifty Divine Blood Warriors; it is best for them to wear two pieces of Red Gold battle armor and use two pieces of Red Gold weapons. With their physical strength and magic power, they can fully support it."

Xuan Yuezi had a plan in mind and began to prepare secretly. ===== CHAPTER 875 =====
