Chapter 466
Sun and Ning felt a thud in their hearts.
They wanted to leave, but were stopped by Long Ye.
Long Ye smiled and looked at the huge stone ball on the ground: "Daoist Shi, if I am not mistaken, you have captured a lot in this battle."
"The equipment of these enemy troops is very excellent, while on the contrary, our Thousand Peaks Forest side is much worse in this regard."
"Why not sell these captures to our alliance."
"Not to mention anything else, that 'Gao Sheng Testament' is very critical. Even if it is broken, it is a heavy treasure of the military, which is very suitable for our army to use."
Ning Zhuo's heart relaxed slightly; just now he thought he had been exposed.
In just this short while, there was already a thin layer of sweat on his back.
"Is that so." Ning Zhuo said indifferently, "Don't be in a hurry, let me consider it."
Seeing the radiance of Old Monster Shi Zhong activating the Earth-Walking Technique becoming more and more vigorous, Long Ye hurriedly said: "Daoist Shi, how should I contact you?"
Ning Zhuo snorted: "I will contact you when I have considered it!"
After speaking, he controlled the stone ball and sank directly into the ground, disappearing before everyone's eyes.
Earth-Walking Technique!
Ink Abyss Cave Master narrowed his eyes and sighed: "Old Monster Shi Zhong's execution of the Earth-Walking Technique is even more relaxed than before, with a true charm of simplifying the complex."
"His strength has indeed improved greatly compared to before!"
Long Ye was silent, looking at the ground where Old Monster Shi Zhong had just stayed, his eyes deep.
He didn't speak, and others didn't dare to speak.
Thus, the cultivators quietly withdrew together in a silent atmosphere.
Halfway there.
Long Ye suddenly used spiritual sense to ask Lu Lu Lu Hongtu: "I heard that you gifted a piece of Western Pure Land to Old Monster Shi Zhong?"
Lu Lu Lu Hongtu was suddenly horrified!
His heart was shaken: "At that time, only Old Monster Shi Zhong and three of our people were present, how did Long Ye know?!"
Thinking more carefully, Lu Lu Lu Hongtu became even more suspicious.
Because it is very likely that there is a traitor among the two, Mo Xin and Xue Ying.
If this is really the case, why did Long Ye only ask directly? Wouldn't that directly expose the existence of the mole?
"Or is it that Old Monster Shi Zhong leaked the intelligence?"
Lu Lu Lu Hongtu did not respond for a while, and thousands of thoughts surged in his mind.
Long Ye snorted: "Cave Master Lu, your sect was unscathed in this battle and has made many meritorious services."
"Trapping the Golden Halberd Army for a while, and rescuing Chi Bi Bi Teng Yi and the others."
"Your foresight is amazing!"
Listening to the tone, Lu Lu Lu Hongtu immediately understood Long Ye's dissatisfaction.
He hurriedly said modestly: "Our meager achievements were all established under your guidance, Long Ye. The real credit belongs to you, Long Ye."
Long Ye snorted again: "I won't talk nonsense with you. I'll ask you one question, you must answer truthfully, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"This Old Monster Shi Zhong... has he already advanced to the Soul Transformation stage?"
While accompanying Old Monster Shi Zhong through the underground, Long Ye noticed a trace of Soul Transformation charm on the stone ball.
At that time, his heart was shaken, but he suppressed it.
After being temporarily safe, Old Monster Shi Zhong's impolite attitude made Long Ye's suspicion continue to increase.
Ink Abyss Cave Master almost couldn't hold his expression.
He secretly gritted his teeth, recalling the battle with the Ginseng-Beard Dragon King.
Although that battle had passed for many years, he still remembered it vividly.
Lu Lu Lu Hongtu weighed his words: "Soul Transformation? Why does Long Ye say this? Why do you have such a guess?"
"I gifted the Western Pure Land just considering Old Monster Shi Zhong's background. This heavy gift has great weight for him."
"Only by sending such a heavy gift can we attract an expert like him to fight, right?"
Long Ye looked at Lu Lu Lu Hongtu deeply, then continued to look forward, and sent a spiritual sense message: "You paid out of your own pocket to persuade Nascent Soul and Jin Dan-level cultivators to participate in this ambush, and you have made great contributions."
"But if you hide major intelligence, then these merits cannot offset your crimes at all. You have to think clearly!"
"What's the use of hiding it from me now?"
"You can also try to lie when you face the Dragon King yourself."
Lu Lu Lu Hongtu took a deep breath, finally frowned slightly, and showed a trace of worry.
He thought for a while, and finally confessed, communicating with spiritual sense: "Fine."
"The reason I sent the Western Pure Land at that time was that I noticed a trace of Soul Transformation charm on Old Monster Shi Zhong."
"I therefore inferred that even if this person did not break through successfully, he was already quite close to the Soul Transformation realm."
"In fact, from the age, Old Monster Shi Zhong's age is much older than yours and mine, isn't it? His accumulation can also be considered deep."
Long Ye was silent for a long time, then continued to ask: "What is your impression of Old Monster Shi Zhong this time?"
"Do you think he is already at the Soul Transformation level?"
Ink Abyss Cave Master smiled bitterly: "How can I judge that accurately?"
"I am just a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, how can I guess the ability of Soul Transformation?"
"I can only say the facts I observed. That is, this time we met, the Soul Transformation charm on Old Monster Shi Zhong was much less than before."
Long Ye was quite strong, and the Ink Abyss Cave Master had a big business, and the entire Six Caves Sect was in the Thousand Peaks Forest, so he couldn't run away.
Therefore, after reviewing the situation, the Ink Abyss Cave Master could only be honest.
Hearing his response, Long Ye's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but think: "Old Monster Shi Zhong's body is uninjured, but the charm is decreasing. Does this mean that after he advanced to the Soul Transformation level, he is more able to control his power and restrain his aura better and better?"
No wonder he guessed this way. On one hand, Ning Zhuo's attitude is here. On the other hand, the various means displayed by "Old Monster Shi Zhong" in this battle were more mysterious than his former self.
"If Old Monster Shi Zhong is already Soul Transformation, he naturally has the ability to resist the Dragon King's divine decree."
"So, he didn't use his full strength in the ambush battle just now, and he was safe and sound, and the constraints of the divine decree didn't react at all."
"Does he not want to return to the Thousand Peaks Forest because he doesn't want to face the Dragon King and is worried that his true cultivation will be exposed?"
"But if he has already become Soul Transformation, he can communicate with the Dragon King on an equal footing, why should he take the initiative to avoid it?"
"Is it because although his advancement was successful, he is injured?"
Long Ye guessed a lot, couldn't figure it out, couldn't see through it.
He used to think that he saw through Old Monster Shi Zhong's temperament and ability. The latter had a strange background, but his personality was dull, he was not good at socializing, and although his foundation was deep, he did not pose much threat.
After this battle, Long Ye's original impression of Old Monster Shi Zhong was completely overturned.
"This guy is dull on the outside but cunning on the inside, loyal on the outside but treacherous on the inside!"
"The biggest beneficiary of the entire ambush battle is him. So much so that the Dragon King owes him a major reward."
"Sigh, the situation is too complicated."
Long Ye sighed bitterly in his heart.
In his view, this ambush battle was a small victory, a narrow victory, but the result of the war and Old Monster Shi Zhong's true cultivation are not important at all!
"Even if I report this major intelligence, the Dragon King will probably suppress it, right?"
If it were normal times, the Ginseng-Beard Dragon King would definitely strictly spy on and contain the second possible Soul Transformation-level cultivator.
But now, the army of the two nations is pressing on the border, and the strong enemy is by his side, so the Ginseng-Beard Dragon King dare not start a war rashly.
If this starts, the two nations side will probably laugh to death.
"So, the optimal strategy is to temporarily unite with Old Monster Shi Zhong, join forces, and focus on defeating the army of the two nations."
"If this is the case, then the reward for Old Monster Shi Zhong will probably be even more extraordinary!"
After all, the treatment of Soul Transformation level and Nascent Soul level naturally has to be different.
"Is Old Monster Shi Zhong really Soul Transformation level?"
"Forget it, let the Dragon King have a headache about this question."
Earth-Walking Technique!
Ning Zhuo activated this spell and returned to the vicinity of the battlefield again.
"Old Monster Shi Zhong" did not drill out of the ground, but completed the handover deep underground.
Ning Zhuo took back his Earth-Walking Spleen Temple, and Sun Sun Lingtong moved the stone ball back into the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon.
Then, the two traveled through the void through the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon and returned to the ground.
Ning Zhuo used the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon as a belt, wrapped it around his body, and hurried back to the army.
In the ruins of the battlefield, Sun Gan looked at the army with heavy casualties with a livid face, and reprimanded the generals such as Shuang Jing and Xu Xu Dali: "If I hadn't prepared in advance and ordered the Fire Cloud Camp to march secretly, our losses this time would definitely have been more serious!"
After reprimanding, his expression eased slightly, and he said to the three generals Liu, Generals Generals Guan, and Zhang: "The three generals are brave, and you were able to capture a Nascent Soul monster cultivator, which is a great merit! I will definitely report it to the imperial court truthfully and ask for credit for the three generals."
Generals Generals Guan Hong stroked his beard and said nothing.
Zhang Hei grinned and let out a silent laugh.
Liu Er cupped his hands and declined modestly, indicating that this was all due to the command of Lord Sun Gan.
Mu Lan on the side glanced at the three generals, her eyes showing envy.
Then, Liu Er mentioned her, saying that he thanked Mu Lan for her help, and at the critical moment, she threw the battle formation Red Flower to the Three Generals Camp, while she led the Red Flower Camp to support the White Jade Camp.
Sun Gan reached out: "General Mu Lan's move was wise. It was precisely because of trusting you, Liu Er, that she handed over the heavy responsibility to your Three Generals Camp."
"From the results, you did not live up to this trust and captured Ma Ma Feitui alive, which is amazing!"
Sun Gan also practiced military strategy, and from his perspective, he highly approved of Mu Lan's decision.
From the facts, the Red Flower Camp did indeed play a key role. If they hadn't arrived in time to help the White Jade Camp share the pressure of Chi Bi Bi Teng Yi and other cultivators, the White Jade Camp would probably have collapsed long ago.
Sun Gan gave a lecture and then ordered to rest on the spot.
The rest time was very short.
Liu Er and others were still discussing Ning Zhuo on the way back to the camp, wondering where the military advisor was and whether he could arrive in time.
As a result, as soon as they returned to their own camp, they learned from the guards that Ning Zhuo had returned.
Liu Er was overjoyed and ran all the way.
After seeing Ning Zhuo, he straightened his arms, opened his embrace, and ran toward Ning Zhuo passionately.
He ran to Ning Zhuo and grabbed him tightly: "Military advisor, fortunately there is the military advisor."
"Military advisor, you are safe and sound, that's really great!"
Generals Generals Guan Hong and Zhang Hei also hurried over.
When Zhang Hei saw Ning Zhuo, he immediately grinned and laughed.
Even Generals Generals Guan Hong smiled at Ning Zhuo.
In the ambush battle, Ning Zhuo showed powerful combat power, making the three generals look at him with admiration. And the friendship of defeating strong enemies had also been cultivated a lot, greatly shortening the distance between the three generals and Ning Zhuo.
"Military advisor, Lord Sun Gan even specifically mentioned you."
"Your divination this time really helped us a lot."
"According to Sun Gan's meaning, he wants to ask you to divine again!"
Ning Zhuo: "Ah?"
Zhang Hei interjected: "Military advisor, you are famous this time. Your prophecy poem is too accurate. No wonder that guy Sun Gan would be moved!"
