Chapter 141: Return to Donghai City, the Major Operation in Jiang Province

Donghai University only issues an emergency summons when encountering special circumstances, requiring students who have graduated from Donghai University to return and assist, but it is not mandatory; one can also choose to ignore the emergency summons.

However, Ye Tian was still a student of Donghai University, so naturally, he had to return to help.

And so.

Ye Tian applied for leave from the Xia King Training Camp and headed to Donghai City.

……

Donghai City.

Ye Tian returned very quickly and immediately contacted his mentor at Donghai University, Li Haoyang.

Donghai University.

Ye Tian met with Mentor Li Haoyang.

At this time, Li Haoyang's cultivation had reached the Intermediate Grandmaster realm; it was evident he had encountered some opportunities, otherwise, his cultivation would not have improved so quickly.

"Ye Tian, have you reached the Extreme Dao Grandmaster realm?"

Li Haoyang was astonished.

It had only been a short time since he went to the Xia King Training Camp, yet he had already broken through to the Extreme Dao Grandmaster realm; it was simply too exaggerated!

"Mentor, what happened at Donghai University? Why was an emergency summons issued?" Ye Tian asked.

Li Haoyang's expression turned grave, and he said: "It has to do with the Giant Elephant Clan. Previously, Donghai City annexed the territory of the Scale Clan in the Earth Cave World, and it also caused the Giant Elephant Clan to lose quite a few Grandmasters, which undoubtedly enraged the Giant Elephant Clan. Not long ago, we rebuilt the East Sea Fortress, and Jiang Province dispatched many Extreme Dao Grandmasters as well as one Human King Realm expert to guard the East Sea Fortress. However, not long ago, the Giant Elephant Clan attacked the East Sea Fortress, directly deploying one Earth King, six Human Kings, and a large number of Extreme Dao Grandmasters."

"What? The Giant Elephant Clan dispatched so many powerhouses; did the East Sea Fortress not detect them?"

Ye Tian asked.

Under normal circumstances, if the movements of alien races were detected, reinforcements would be provided quickly.

For instance, some fortresses usually only have a few Grandmasters stationed there, but once the enemy invades on a large scale, a large number of Grandmasters and Extreme Dao Grandmasters would be dispatched to support them within a short time, with a support speed of within half an hour.

After all, Xia Country has many entrances to the Earth Cave World, so this is the only way; unless all fortresses are attacked, it would be impossible to fail to provide timely support.

"There wasn't enough time to detect them. The Giant Elephant Clan targeted us and used a certain special Top-grade Strange Treasure to conceal their actions. By the time we realized it, they had already arrived beneath the East Sea Fortress and directly broken through the Array. Although we retreated in time, quite a few Grandmasters and Extreme Dao Grandmasters still fell, and even that Human King Realm expert guarding it was severely injured!" Li Haoyang said helplessly.

According to Li Haoyang's account, Ye Tian learned that many students and mentors from Donghai University had fallen this time, causing Donghai University to suffer heavy losses.

Such heavy losses would even affect the reputation of Donghai University and its next round of admissions.

Therefore, Donghai University was very angry, and Jiang Province was also very angry.

Li Haoyang continued: "This time, the Jiang Province side has decided to mobilize its forces to launch a retaliatory attack against the Giant Elephant Clan. Perhaps the strength of Jiang Province is not equal to the Giant Elephant Clan, but the Giant Elephant Clan also has enemies; they cannot mobilize all their strength, while we can gather the strength of the entire Jiang Province to attack them. However, we can only conduct the attack for a few days, otherwise, the other fortresses in Jiang Province will be quite dangerous without powerhouses stationed there."

"So Donghai University summoned us back to increase a portion of the combat power?"

Ye Tian said.

"Yes!" Li Haoyang nodded. "Additionally, if this surprise attack is successful, the looted resources will also be distributed to you. Not only that, the Jiang Province side has also offered a huge temptation: they will open the official treasure land of Jiang Province—the Qilin River—to everyone for three days of cultivation."

"What kind of place is the Qilin River?"

Ye Tian asked curiously.

Li Haoyang introduced: "The Qilin River is an underground river occupied by Jiang Province in the Earth Cave World. It is rumored that a Qilin once fell there, causing it to undergo a transformation. The entire Qilin River contains special energy, which is very suitable for cultivation. But this energy does not exist permanently, so Jiang Province also restricts people from going there to cultivate."

Qilin River!

Ye Tian was also interested; if he went to the Qilin River to cultivate, he wondered if he could improve his cultivation.

He had God-level Talent Potential, so his cultivation speed was already very fast. If he went to the Qilin River, the energy he absorbed would definitely be even more; at the very least, it could save him a long time of bitter cultivation, which would be quite good!

Besides.

The Giant Elephant Clan was also a very powerful alien race and surely possessed many resources; it was possible to make a big profit again by taking advantage of this opportunity.

"Mentor, when will the attack be launched?"

Ye Tian inquired.

Li Haoyang shook his head. "I'm not too sure; after all, gathering manpower also takes time, but it will definitely be within these next few days."

Subsequently, Ye Tian obtained a piece of intelligence on the Giant Elephant Clan from Li Haoyang.

Although the Giant Elephant Clan was not as strong as the Evil Race, its strength was not to be underestimated.

"One Saint Realm, six Heavenly Kings, twenty-three Earth Kings, and seventy-six Human King Realm experts!"

Seeing this data, Ye Tian was also secretly shocked by the strength of the Giant Elephant Clan.

However.

The Giant Elephant Clan had three alien enemies; many Heavenly Kings, Earth Kings, and Human Kings had to keep an eye on those alien races, and there were also many King Realm experts who were not with the Giant Elephant Clan but had gone to explore the central region of the Earth Cave World.

Therefore, the Giant Elephant Clan did not have many King Realm experts that could actually be mobilized.

Suddenly.

His gaze fixed on one of the Giant Elephant Clan's King Realm experts.

"Giant Elephant Clan Heavenly King—Xiang Ming!"

He was very familiar with this name. He had once met the Human King Realm expert Jin Tianxun of the Jiaolin Clan in the Jiaolin Clan Ruins; the other party had used a wisp of his remnant soul, at the cost of a Flood Dragon Pearl and a Divine Art Inheritance, to have him kill Xiang Ming.

Five hundred years had passed, and Xiang Ming had indeed not died, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the Heavenly King Realm, becoming one of the six great Heavenly Kings of the Giant Elephant Clan.

"A Heavenly King; it is too difficult to kill him. This deal was a loss!"

Ye Tian muttered to himself.

However, even if he were given the choice again, he would definitely still choose to make the deal with Jin Tianxun.

After all, if he hadn't had the Flood Dragon True Body, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Ancient Dragon Elephant Body, this holy body, later on.

"I cannot kill Xiang Ming now; I will kill him once my cultivation breaks into the Heavenly King Realm!"

Ye Tian thought to himself.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Donghai City had already gathered a large number of powerhouses, all of whom had come to participate in this major operation.

Ye Tian also saw acquaintances in Donghai City; Lu Ling and the others had also returned.

Previously, Lu Ling and the others had gone to carry out a mission, and Ye Tian had not called for them, but it appeared now that they had returned after receiving the emergency summons.

However, Qin Ye had not returned, evidently because he had no way to return.

After all, Qin Ye had only just joined the military; he was likely in the middle of executing a military mission or operation, and it was impossible for him to return just because he wanted to.

To participate in this operation, one's cultivation had to be at least at the Great Grandmaster level; even a Grandmaster was not qualified to participate.

After all, in an operation like this, a Grandmaster's speed was too slow, and they would simply be cannon fodder.

The ones truly relied upon were those in the Human King Realm and a small number of Extreme Dao Grandmasters.

On this day.

Two Heavenly King Realm experts led the team, bringing everyone through the entrance of the Underground Cave and arriving in the Earth Cave World.
