I’ll go treat the other wounded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward the other Night Watchers who were injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengru looked at Lu Wujiu: “Commander Lu, we must carefully plan the follow-up pursuit of Fengxi and Zhuyan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingxuan immediately added: “The Literary Academy will also fully investigate; as soon as we have news, we’ll immediately share it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wujiu bowed in response: “Thank Itachi, all four Academy Heads. Once our Night Watchers have finished organizing, we’ll send elite forces to track down the two demons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wujiu glanced at the ruins and smiled bitterly. “I’ll go direct the reconstruction of the base first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With psychic abilities, we should restore it by evening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead. If Itachi need help, just call us,” Liu Qingxuan nodded politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When everyone had dispersed, Wang Teng hesitantly asked Liu Qingxuan: “Academy Head Liu, is there a huge gap between Shanhai Pass and our internal ranks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It sounds like Shanhai Pass has far more powerful individuals than our own human factions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingxuan stroked his beard. “Ninety percent of our human race’s strongest are gathered at Shanhai Pass—our entire race’s foundation lies there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gazed toward the distance, his eyes seeming to pierce through layers of forests and land upon that legendary fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His tone carried a touch of reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That pass was forged from the bones and blood of our ancestors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beyond the pass lies endless mist, where countless demonic beasts constantly seek to breach the wall and slaughter our people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since Shanhai Pass was built, every inch of its soil is soaked in blood, every brick a symbol of slaughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In your internal human territories, Itachi may think Wu Zong cultivators are rare elites—but at Shanhai Pass, they’re merely the backbone of the garrison.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The true foundation lies in the hidden Wang Hou and even Zunzhe who have long stationed themselves deep within the pass, using their aura to intimidate the outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worse still, some legendary cultivators nearing death or mortally wounded use secret methods to seal themselves in specially crafted coffins and fall into slumber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng listened, stunned, and instinctively asked: “Then they…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They guard with their lives,” Liu Qingxuan cut in, voice low. “When Shanhai Pass is in dire peril, those slumbering ones awaken.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They burn their psychic energy and life for one final battle. They forsake memory and future, seeking only one more thread of hope for our race.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chengru added: “While our internal human hunters assassinate prodigies against the race’s interests, those at Shanhai Pass are filling the lines with their lives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Last year, rumors spread that three Wu Zong commanders of the Beast Suppression Army, to seal a breach, jumped into it with explosives and detonated—leaving not even their bones behind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The name ‘Iron Blood Great Wall’ was forged by generations of loyal, heroic blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyone who enters it, regardless of origin, severs all ties to the safety behind—henceforth, life, death, honor, and shame are bound to that one pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingxuan sighed: “What we admire isn’t merely their cultivation—they’re the ones who, knowing the path ahead is death, still charge forward without hesitation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Without Shanhai Pass, we would have no peace today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia and the others fell silent, listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Liu Qingxuan walked to the three, placed his hands on their shoulders, and said solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But don’t worry—if the border truly collapses, I’ll walk ahead of Itachi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingxuan gazed toward Shanhai Pass with longing, then turned with the other three Academy Heads to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the four Academy Heads’ backs, Jiang Xia shouted loudly: “When I advance further in cultivation, I will go to Shanhai Pass and guard our race in the footsteps of our martyrs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me too!” Wang Teng and Ye Lingxi cried out in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qingxuan paused briefly, did not turn back, but his stern features softened slightly before he continued forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cult of the Evil God Headquarters—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuyan casually pulled over a chair and sat beside Xuan Ye; Fengxi and Shen Wenru sat in the second row, followed by five Red Robe Protectors and the second- and third-rank leaders of each branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengxi spoke first: “Your Cult of the Evil God’s ants are pathetically weak!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even with Shanhai Pass unable to reinforce, Itachi still couldn’t deal with those damn Night Watchers!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenru instinctively retorted: “A Disaster-Class Demon King, held back for so long by two Wang Hou elders—what could we possibly do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengxi slammed his fist onto the table; the thick blackwood legs instantly cracked with spiderweb fissures, his fangs glinting coldly in the candlelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ants! How dare Itachi talk back to me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If not for that physician’s healing and Shanhai Pass suppressing me, I’d have already torn those two elders apart and fed them to dogs!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenru pinched a jade ring between his fingers, lips curling into a cold smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? Really? I heard that when Fengxi the Great was forced to retreat by that Liu man’s copper coin, a tuft of your mane was burned off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is the Demon King’s might only displayed before your own kind?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi seek death!” Fengxi’s eyes blazed red, his demonic aura surging violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He overturned the table before him; shards of porcelain flew and splattered onto nearby Red Robe Protectors, who dared not utter a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Xuan Ye’s fingers ceased their stroking of the jade pendant; a faint wisp of spiritual energy leaked from his fingertips and instantly froze the flying porcelain shards midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still didn’t look at either of them, his voice colder than ice: “Have Itachi finished?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fengxi’s aura abruptly stalled; though unwilling, he reluctantly withdrew his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ye’s strength was unfathomable—even as a Disaster-Class Demon King, Fengxi dared not act rashly before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan, legs crossed, idly tapped his chair arm with a finger, then sneered: “Whether it’s because Fengxi was held up or your disciples are useless—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The result is the same: Itachi’ve failed Shanhai Pass.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swept his gaze over the Cult members, his eyes like hooks: “Now, the human race has produced another SSS-level, and their fortune is steadily strengthening.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a while, the once-in-a-century struggle for fortune will begin. If the human side wins the fortune—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soon, those among them who are Zunzhe or Half-Saints will have a chance to break through to Sainthood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combined with Shanhai Pass’s defense, our demonic beasts will be utterly hopeless. When our strength is insufficient to awaken the Beast God, your dream of becoming gods will vanish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenru’s face changed slightly; he opened his mouth to speak, but Fengxi cut him off: “Go kill that human ant directly! Who dares interfere?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fool,” Shen Wenru muttered under his breath, then turned to Xuan Ye and Zhu Yan, lowering his tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord, Zhu Yan the Great, this fortune struggle hinges on the battle of sorcerers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The strongest sorcerer among the human race is currently Zhao Xianhai, head of the Literary Academy. We need only find him before the fortune struggle, then…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenru said no more, staring straight at the two seated above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Xuan Ye: “What do Itachi think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Ye finally lifted his gaze, fixing it on Shen Wenru, and spoke slowly: “My true body is not here. Handle this yourself—Itachi may mobilize all the Protectors within the Cult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, the black spiritual energy at his fingertips thickening further: “If Itachi fail again, Itachi’ll become Zhu Yan’s snack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Wenru turned pale, bowed his head quickly: “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1289,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","02d2c57819a7e3cbd2f287bf29426848ce49c67e2d3ec5f58bf14f6706c18349","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-35","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-33",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
