Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest-Chapter 713 - 9 Small Cultivator Team Among the Folk

Under normal circumstances, this wouldn’t be an issue since it is a monk’s duty to protect the people, and they would rush headlong into danger. However, with Tianzhu making incursions into the Southern Border soon, if the Zhenhai Team got trapped in the Mysterious Realm at Mount Wutai and the Privy Council ordered an attack, Zhou Hongyu’s Zhendong Army wouldn’t be able to match the combat power of the Zhenhai Team.

Qiu Ze’s Shenxing Battle Team? Their strength is decent, but far behind the Zhenhai Team.

Seeing Yan Yu deep in thought, Chen Tianming, unsure if he got the point or not, added:

“If you go alone, the mission is indeed to save people, but on the condition that you ensure your own safety. Remember, if there’s a risk, you’d better give up on the rescue.”

This sounded a bit like Liu Bei asking Zhao Yun not to save A Dou, but Yan Yu knew it was Old Tai Shan’s genuine advice: it was not that he was willing to sacrifice his own daughter, Chen Lingyun, but he would never stake everything for her.

Of course, if Chen Lingyun or Mrs. Chen were here, Chen Tianming’s words would definitely be different.

Considering bringing Ningning and others wouldn’t greatly enhance his combat power, with the main contribution coming from himself, Old Tai Shan’s face could still be saved. Thus, Yan Yu quickly reviewed the intelligence information provided by Li Weiguo and then issued a notice in the group before hurrying alone towards the north using Sword Control.

The Mysterious Realm at Mount Wutai appeared at 3:20 PM, and at that time, Yan Yu was still wandering around the Mysterious Realm of Kunlun Mansion with Zhou Hongyu! Meanwhile, tourists at Mount Wutai were astonished to see a vast spread of colorful Buddha’s Light in the sky.

Many people viewed this as an auspicious omen and a good sign. Given that it’s the era of the Spiritual Energy Resurgence, devout believers in deities and Buddha would only grow more devoted and fanatic, causing many to stay and start worshiping on the spot.

However, soon the Buddha’s Light descended from the sky to the ground, and wherever it passed, all tourists it swept away disappeared—whether they were in the open, inside a car, or within buildings.

Nearby Military Mansion Cultivators quickly arrived to seal off the scene and urgently evacuate the oblivious tourists. This time, the entrance to the Mysterious Realm was the Buddha’s Light itself, not only vast in size but also fluttering about. Some tourists couldn’t escape in time and got transported by the Buddha’s Light, while others, ignoring the Military Mansion Cultivators’ attempts to stop them, suddenly ran towards the Buddha’s Light—most likely these were civilian cultivators.

Due to a shortage of personnel at the time, the scene was initially hard to control. Thus, the Military Mansion Cultivators quickly called for reinforcements, and Chen Lingyun and Tang Xiaolian, who were cultivating in the Qingjing Temple, received the message and immediately rushed to assist.

These two girls, one specializing in Ghost Summoning and the other in Bug Commanding, commanded their summoned creatures—numbering dozens or hundreds—as if directing their own limbs, thus quickly helping the Military Mansion Cultivators gain control over the situation. Even Yan Yu and Lord Master couldn’t have done it better.

Later, the two of them put on cameras and flew into the Buddha Light Mysterious Realm to scout.

Initially, the cameras operated smoothly, revealing that the Mysterious Realm was surrounded by mountains with numerous Buddhist temples densely packed throughout. From high up on the mountains and looking down, there were vermilion walls and golden roofs in neat order, tall pagodas and splendid halls intricately placed, with curling incense smoke and chants filling the air, comparable to a Buddhist paradise, surpassing even the small Western Heaven on Earth.

However, as they descended the mountain and approached the cluster of Buddhist temples, all of a sudden, a cry of alarm was heard, followed by the video signal cutting off.

Researchers performed voice print analysis and concluded that the shout likely came from Tang Xiaolian. She had been walking behind Chen Lingyun at the time, and no issues had been spotted in the video, although it was possible that whatever happened occurred too swiftly to be captured… In any case, from that moment on, the two women lost contact with the Dingbei Army.

The Dingbei Army believed that the video signal was cut off because they had stepped into some kind of preset Formation as they neared the temples.

Yan Yu also accepted this judgment, as the camera had captured nothing beforehand. If it indeed had been some incredibly swift enemy attack that even the camera couldn’t capture, then there was no hope, and they might as well go in to retrieve the bodies.

Having arrived at Mount Wutai using Sword Control, he saw chaos below, continuously with Dingbei Army vehicles diving deeper along mountain roads, transporting wave after wave of ordinary people back.
