Chapter 303: Dare Not Agree

Returning to the realm, Wei Yuan brought the youths back to the new city, buried the dead outside the city, and treated the injured, everything returning to the right track.

In this battle, of the thirty thousand youths who had just entered the Blood Merging Realm, two hundred died and more than one hundred were injured, with more deaths than injuries. And the ten thousand Northern Territory iron cavalry were completely wiped out; the survivors were probably less than a thousand, and those who could survive would not be able to return to the battlefield in the future.

Before the great battle, I am afraid that no one except Wei Yuan would have expected such a result. General Yue Jinshan had a total of sixty thousand iron cavalry and had never been defeated in his life, but he did not expect to lose a full ten thousand when testing the strength of the realm, with losses heavier than any major battle in the past.

Like a lone wolf, wanting to take a bite of the prey to test its strength, but not wanting to break all its teeth.

For this battle, Wei Yuan consulted all the battle examples of the Northern Territory iron cavalry, collected all the intelligence he could find, and even personally sneaked out to observe secretly.

The training the youths received was all for faster reloading and more accurate shooting, and the guns and bullet columns had also been improved many times, finally reaching the requirement of sucking to the bottom and smooth loading. Wei Yuan also simulated many times with his own cavalry, finally enabling the youths to empty all five spare rounds within the short few breaths from the time the cavalry entered the range to the time they rushed to the front. The reason it was five rounds was because they couldn't fire more.

They would not be afraid, would not waver, and would not stop their predetermined actions even if the enemy's blade or spear had pierced their bodies. Only they could fire six shots under the terrifying pressure of the iron cavalry charging at full speed. That was why Wei Yuan said at the beginning that these youths were the natural enemies of the iron cavalry.

If it weren't for them, Wei Yuan would have to fight the ten thousand iron cavalry head-on with a thousand or so Dao Foundation knights, with Faceless Warriors covering and shooting with honeycomb flying swords on the left and right. Although they could win, that would be relying on realm and quantity to suppress people, and General Yue Jinshan might not be convinced.

After this great battle, there were still many things to summarize, such as the steel cylinders for throwing, which had a big problem, with only two out of more than twenty finally exploding.

And for example, the current speed of reloading and changing bullets was already approaching the limit, and not everyone could achieve a six-hundred-shot rate with manual front-loading like Yu Zhizhuo.

But to change front-loading to rear-loading, the whole gun would have to be redesigned, inevitably adding many mechanical structures. And besides the trigger and gun stock, the only gun structure Xu Wenwu could remember was a bolt, and he only remembered the handle exposed outside.

If no reloading structure was added, but a simple method of changing to rear-loading insertion and adding a bottom plug to block it was used, then the speed of front-loading and rear-loading was actually about the same, and front-loading had one less part and was more sturdy.

After the cultivators of the Tai Chu Palace discussed, they unanimously agreed not to rush to design a new gun thoroughly, but to first popularize the already mature steel pipe gun. The bullet columns were also used up and needed to be reproduced.

Wei Yuan handed over all affairs to everyone, while he himself hurriedly came to the side of the Azure Void realm stone and began to cultivate in seclusion.

At this moment, in his Dao Foundation, the black water was rolling more and more violently, like boiling, and Wei Yuan also vaguely felt a tremor, as if something was struggling under the water, wanting to float out.

Since the opening of the Gate of Myriad Realms, the black pool where it was located had become more and more eerie. Sometimes Wei Yuan stood by the pool, unable to see the bottom at all. If perceived with spiritual sense, even if it went deep for several hundred zhang, there was still no bottom. However, judging from the size of Mount Yushan, even if it had become ten zhang high after advancing to the middle stage, the depth of the pool water should not exceed two feet.

Wei Yuan had an intuition that once he jumped into the pool water, something very bad would likely happen.

The more the pool water surged, the more violent it became, and it could only be barely controlled within a range with the help of the Azure Void power. Under the pool water, there was clearly something constantly struggling, as if wanting to break out of its shell.

It made Wei Yuan's Primordial Spirit feel pressure.

This thing seemed to be constantly changing, while absorbing all the concepts that could be absorbed from the surroundings. What was eerie was that what it absorbed most was Wei Yuan's knowledge about cultivation methods, heaven and earth rules, and fortune. Like a newborn baby, it was learning all the knowledge about the world out of curiosity.

It struggled more and more intensely. In the blink of an eye, Wei Yuan could not suppress it even with the help of the Azure Void power. The pool water suddenly exploded with a wave, and a black shadow broke through the water and stood steadily on the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains!

This was a person, nine feet tall, holding a long blade for beheading horses, with a face as cold and hard as iron, fully revealing a fierce and domineering spirit.

A knight appeared above his head. The knight was in full heavy armor, and the eyes under the helmet were burning with fire. The warhorse under his crotch was also in full iron armor, the armor was full of sharp blades, and sparks kept spraying from its nostrils, like a god or demon!

Wei Yuan could not recognize this knight, but this was undoubtedly a Dharma Form. The one who struggled out of the black pool was actually a Dharma Form cultivator!?

On the day Xu Li attacked, Wei Yuan killed a total of more than four thousand people, of whom only one thousand died in battle, and the remaining three thousand were captured alive. Those one thousand who died in battle finally turned into twenty Faceless Warriors.

And in the battle with General Yue Jinshan, others didn't know, but because the Gate of Myriad Realms had already opened, Wei Yuan saw clearly that the souls of all the fallen knights did not dissipate, but entered the Gate of Myriad Realms one by one.

The souls of nearly ten thousand knights finally turned into this Dharma Form warrior. Although he didn't know what his Dharma Form was, one look showed he was good at campaigning and killing.

Looking at the Dharma Form warrior who was as motionless as a mountain in front of him, Wei Yuan suddenly felt somewhat speechless. The immortal path is difficult; he spent ten years of time and countless resources, and only managed to cultivate to the middle stage of the Dao Foundation, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach the Nurturing Spirit Realm.

As a result, there was now an extra Dharma Form warrior in his Dao Foundation. Is this Dharma Form his or not his? And what is he considered?

If that Dharma Form warrior is a big meal, is he the plate holding the dish?

Or according to the common saying in the world outside the sky, is he now 0.25 of a Dharma Form?

Just as he had a headache, Wei Yuan suddenly felt something, flew out of the quiet room, and looked up at the sky.

At this time, thin clouds appeared in the sky of the realm, like silk and gauze, and the sunlight shone through the thin clouds, illuminating pieces of mountains and forests, like a fairyland.

Wisps of fine rain drifted in the air, and there was spiritual energy in the rain that refreshed the heart. Many people put down the work in their hands, walked out of the house, and looked in astonishment at the spiritual rain that suddenly started to fall.

The earth was full of vitality, and the spiritual rain did not distinguish between high and low status; all plants were growing.

In comparison, ordinary rice required very little, so how could it have had the treatment of being watered with spiritual water? At this moment, heaven and earth worked together, so it grew wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it grew from a small seedling that had just broken through the soil to a foot high.

Ji Liuli appeared beside Wei Yuan, also watching the sudden spiritual rain, and after a moment said, "This gift from heaven and earth, where does it come from?"

Wei Yuan's face was solemn, and he shook his head slowly.

Ji Liuli said again, "Could it be those ten thousand iron cavalry?"

"I think... it might be."

"This matter is somewhat strange. I will return to the palace in a few days to ask the ancestor what is going on."

What neither of them said was that the range of this spiritual rain was extremely large, covering the entire realm, so much so that it didn't look like a gift from heaven and earth. To be serious, it was actually somewhat similar to the Shaman tribe's sacrifice to heaven.

Returning to his residence, Wei Yuan was always somewhat restless, and he could not calm down after several attempts at cultivation. So he simply got up to set up an array. When in doubt, ask about Feng Shui; this is the basic quality of every Tai Chu Palace cultivator.

For the first hexagram, Wei Yuan used the aura of the Red Lotus Bodhi as a guide, and the hexagram said the opportunity was in the southeast.

But this hexagram was somewhat unclear. Buddhism is just bad at this point; it likes to play Zen riddles, always in the clouds and mist, understanding it this way is fine, understanding it that way is also fine, and anyway, the final result is always right. Wei Yuan calculated again using the aura of the Moon Laurel Immortal Tree as a guide, saying the winning opportunity was in the northwest.

Wei Yuan was not reconciled, and calculated again using the Filthy Earth White Lotus as a guide, and the result was that it started in the northeast.

At this point, Wei Yuan finally understood that immortal objects have spirits, and each has its own ideas.

Wei Yuan suddenly felt something in his heart. Anyway, he had already calculated it. There was still a young girl with a higher rank in the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains. He came to the girl, did not deliberately look at the body whose details were becoming increasingly rich, reached out and rubbed a few times on her body, rubbed off some aura, and then left the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains.

Just as he was about to set up an altar to perform rituals, Wei Yuan was suddenly stunned, only to find that there was an extra hair an inch long in his hand. Was this rubbed off from the girl just now?

Why is she still shedding hair?

The Dao Foundation's Yin and Yang are integrated, and the whole body is like one. Cutting one place is cutting everything, and every part of the body is actually one place. According to common sense in immortal cultivation, even Zhang Sheng's fourth immortal sword could not cut off a hair of the girl, and there was only one ending: destruction by a single sword. But wanting to destroy Yin and Yang, I'm afraid it's not something a True Lord can do.

On the day of the duel with the cloth-clad swordsman Xu Shiba, the girl's Yin-Yang sword destroyed him. The Scarlet Night Execution Sword could at most account for one-tenth of the credit, and nine-tenths was actually the crushing of the Yin-Yang Dao Body.

But now, a hair was resting in Wei Yuan's palm, clearly the Yin-Yang aura, as if mocking Wei Yuan for his ignorance.

At this moment, Wei Yuan naturally knew where this hair should be used. Immortal objects have spirits; even if he wanted to use it elsewhere, it wouldn't work.

So Wei Yuan set up a Feng Shui array and threw the hair into it. The Feng Shui array operated on its own, raising its status to an unprecedented height, and then reached a very clear conclusion without the slightest ambiguity:

The fate is in the far north.

!.

At this point, Wei Yuan finally understood that immortal objects absolutely do not agree.

If there are more opportunities in the future and there are more immortal plants in the ten thousand li of rivers and mountains, I am afraid that eight directions will not be enough.

It's just that calculating to this extent is equivalent to not calculating.

Wei Yuan closed his eyes slightly, pushed and calculated with all his heart, and finally felt by instinct that something should happen in the southeast.

The southeast is the direction of Quliu Town. Nothing might have happened there originally, but since Wei Yuan pushed and calculated by instinct that something should happen there, then even if nothing happened, he could make something happen, otherwise wouldn't it show that Wei Yuan's hexagram technique was not refined?

Western Jin had already tested his strength, so he had to do something, after all, not returning a favor is not polite.

Wei Yuan walked out of his residence, summoned the Azure Colt, and simultaneously summoned his subordinates. Half an hour later, a large group of masked knights left the realm and headed straight for Quliu Town.

Yuan Qingyan was sitting withered in the study. At this time, the sky was gloomy, leaden clouds were dense, and the room was as dark as night, but he did not light a lamp.

A bowl of soup was placed on the side table. Yuan Qingyan reached out, took it, drank a sip, and silently put it back in its original place, still not lighting the lamp.

The soup had already gone cold.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the study, and the servants were panic-stricken, as if something big had happened.

According to Yuan Qingyan's past temper, he would have opened the door to scold them, and he would have added a few whips. But now he suddenly lost the mood, and even getting angry seemed to have exhausted his strength.

The study door was knocked gently.

Yuan Qingyan finally couldn't help but get a little angry and shouted, "What is it!?"

The study door opened, and the butler walked in tremblingly, saying, "Master Yuan, something big is wrong! The... the Battle Heaven Gang has entered the city!"

Yuan Qingyan just said "Oh," and said, "Got it, go down.... Wait, go get my precious sword!"

The butler was startled and said in surprise, "Master, as long as the green hills remain..."

"Go quickly!"

The butler dared not say more, and a moment later brought Yuan Qingyan's precious sword.

Yuan Qingyan tidied his clothes and hat, sat upright, and placed the sword on his knees. He suddenly felt that the room was a bit dark, and only then remembered to light a lamp.

Quliu Town was dead silent at this time, and not a single figure could be seen on the empty streets, only the sound of horse hooves echoing constantly, with faint echoes.

Wei Yuan looked around, seeing no garrison, no government office runners, as if this were a dead city. As for the common people, they were all in Azure Void now, but there were none here.

Quliu Town had changed somewhat; the original "Lying Flat Inn" had become the Commandery government office, and nearby was the Assistant Regional Commander's government office, with the newly painted gate dazzlingly red.

Wei Yuan spurred his horse and walked slowly toward the Commandery Governor's government office. Before entering the city, he had seen scattered garrison troops, but when the garrison saw the masked knights, they instantly scattered like birds and beasts, and the speed of their actions was breathtaking.

Wei Yuan arrived in front of the Commandery Governor's government office gate and tapped the door lightly with the long spear in his hand.

There was no movement from the gate, only the sound of teeth chattering inside the door could be heard.

Wei Yuan smiled slightly and said, "It seems Master Yuan doesn't want to see us, let's go."

The large group of horse bandits was leisurely, passing through the city in broad daylight. The Commandery Governor had the responsibility of guarding the land, but the large group of horse bandits not only entered the commandery city but also swaggered through the streets in front of the Commandery Governor's government office and the Assistant Regional Commander's government office. Wei Yuan wanted to see how he could wash this off this time.
