Repugnant Gateway

Chapter 369 – Third Rank of the Lower Completion Stage

Maybe if it was anyone else, they would never understand An Zheng’s actions. After returning from the immortal palace, he gave away the three most precious things he had obtained. He gave the Nine Revolving Exquisite Pagoda and the Eight Trigrams Pill Furnace to Qu Liuxi. As for the Blue Lotus Dao Root, An Zheng planned to keep it to the Xiao Qi Dao.

An Zheng had once made a great wish, in the future, he would give each of them an entire set of Purple-Rank Divine Artifact to play with.

In the next few days, the most important thing was the protection of the State of Zhao and the reception of the refugees. Because An Zheng had killed enough people, and he definitely would not put away his butcher’s knife just because he had killed many people, taking in refugees was not difficult at all. One of the most inescapable forms of humanity is fear, and the greatest fear is the fear of death. Aime like this, there was nothing more shocking than letting those people see death up close.

As a great general of the southeastern border, Zou Shikai had no choice but to return to Feng City after staying for five days in Glazed City. After all, he still had a lot of things to take care of. The five thousand elites that he had brought with him had all stayed behind, which was greatly beneficial in alleviating the situation.

During breakfast, An Zheng looked at Du Shoushou and said: “We need to get more familiar with military affairs. We will be spending the next few days in Liu-Li City.”

Du Shoushou nodded, looked at the empty seats beside him, and asked: “Where are the Xiao Liu’er and Oldman Huo?”

An Zheng: “I gave that Eight Trigram Cauldron to Xiao Liu’er. Oldman Huo said that I would like to see if it can be integrated into a Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace. However, even if he succeeded, it was unknown whether the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace merged with the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace or the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace merged with the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace in the end. Oldman Huo said that the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace’s grade was too high, and it might be the dominant one. However, he also said that the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace was formed from the power of the Xiao Liu’er’s bloodline, so it would be best if the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace took the lead. ”

Du Shoushou: “Oldman Huo is really working hard, worrying about us juniors all day.”

He raised his head and glanced at An Zheng, “Are you really confident?”

An Zheng was slightly stunned for a moment before shaking his head. “Fortunately, we’re not facing Da Xi right now, but a country like Zhao Han.”

Du Shoushou: “No matter what decision you make, we will stand by your side.”

He stood up and patted An Zheng’s shoulder, “I’m full now, let’s go visit the farmlands. Over the past few days, the number of refugees from Han and Zhao have increased. The ones in the lead are usually those hulks with strong bodies. If we don’t seule for them, it won’t be easy to deal with them in the future. ”

An Zheng acknowledged: “I’m full too, let’s see if there’s any way to set up the teleportation circle.”

Gu Qianye, who was currently eating porridge, suddenly raised her head and looked at An Zheng, “Do you want to... I’m notifying my clansmen? ”

An Zheng shook his head. “Absolutely not, it took a lot of effort for Old Hunters to recover and only has a few years of peace. This war has nothing to do with Old Hunters, you can’t drag your clansmen into it.”

Gu Qianye: “I just think that it’s too exhausting for you to endure like this. Yesterday, I heard that someone was reporting to you about the military situation. They said that both Han and Zhao are gathering troops on the border, and it should be Da Xi’s side that is pressuring them. ”

An Zheng said: “It doesn’t matter. This battle is going to be fought anyways, many people do not understand which outcome is better, and thought that it would be better to start a war with the Western Regions. If they were to start a war with Han Zhao, the two countries would not truly fight to the death with the State of Yan. They also hoped to see this kind of situation. If they had to focus all their forces on the State of Yan, they wouldn’t have to spend most of their forces on the battlefield against the various countries of the Western Regions. King Han and King Zhao are not fools.

An Zheng said as he walked out, “Why don’t you study how to use that Nine Revolutions Exquisite Pagoda? It is, after all, a type of immortal equipment.”

Gu Qianye lowered her head and did not speak, as she subconsciously looked at her own spatial artifact. There were a lot of things inside the spatial artifact. The majority of them were given to her by An Zheng, as well as the pills given to her by the Xiao Liu’er. However, at the most important place was a withered and dried up flower. That flower was something An Zheng had casually picked up and given to her at the Martial Arts Academy.

An Zheng went out and climbed up the city wall. Looking out from atop the city wall, he could see the endless plains. The borders of Yan Zhao and the other countries were very long, but the most suitable area for war was the area of Liu-Li City. The terrain was flat and spacious, suitable for the army to deploy. If the King Zhao truly wanted to make a move against the State of Yan, Glazed City walace that they had to fight for. It was one of the broadest and most flat public roads in State of Yan, and it connected directly from Glazed City to the capital city. If they could take down Glazed City, the State of Zhao’s army would be able to advance directly. Adding on the fact that most of the State of Yan’s troops were concentrated in the eastern border, this was the best place for the State of Zhao to attack.

Not long after An Zheng climbed up the city walls, the exhausted Old Huo was supported up the walls by people.

“You’re choosing a place?”

Old Huo asked.

An Zheng turned his head around, “Oldman Huo, why don’t you go rest?”

“Rest?” Young people sometimes break off, I’m so old there’s no time to rest. All you have is time to feel the world, and to me it’s no longer feeling, it’s nostalgia. ”

He stood beside An Zheng and turned his head to look at him. “You plan to build the teleportation circle in the capital and in Liu-Li City?”

An Zheng shook his head, “No, I want to build the White Stone Tower city in Glazed City and the eastern border. That’s why I wrote to Fang Zhiji asking him to capture a few divinity’s Symbol Masters. When that happens, we will expand the transportation formation of White Stone Tower in the Eastern Region and build it here. That way, the troops of the Eastern and Southwest borders will be able to replenish each other in time. ”

The Old Huo laughed: “Young man, it’s good to have an ambition. Not many sects could withstand the pressure from the transfer array even if it was Da Xi. Your Heavenly Awakening Sect is just a small sect that has just been established, yet you want to build a medium-sized teleportation circle? And I have nothing but admiration for you. To dare to think about others not daring to think about it, to dare to do things that others don’t dare to do, this is what a young person should feel. ”

An Zheng said: “Oldman Huo, I never thought of building a medium level teleportation circle, I want to build a large one!”

Old Huo rolled his eyes at him, but stopped himself.

An Zheng said, “The scale of a teleportation formation is related to the strength of the cultivator as well. The more powerful a cultivator was, the more energy the teleportation array would consume. To teleport a cultivator with the strength of the first stage of Higher Completion Stage, the energy consumption would be about the same as teleporting over five thousand elite soldiers. If it was teleporting a peak Higher Completion Stage Ranker, it would be about the same as teleporting twenty thousand soldiers. If it was a Ranker teleporting through the Lower Celestial Stage, the energy consumption would be too great. After all, when teleporting, a cultivator’s Cultivation Power becomes bigger and thicker, making it harder to teleport. ”

“For a large Teleportation Formation, the money needed to build the foundation is nothing. I can afford it. But to activate it and teleport an army of around ten thousand people would require at least two hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone to maintain the formation energy.

An Zheng said: “There are a lot of good things that I brought out from the immortal palace. If I am to exchange them, two hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone would have a surplus. We will leave two hundred and forty yuan here and send the rest to Fang Zhiji for the expansion of the formation. ”

Old Huo: “This is what you call spending money.”

He pointed to the city. “Take down the general’s mansion over there. Then, take down the houses around us. Gathehousand people to build a solid foundation day and night. I’ll help you build a teleportation circle here.”

“You actually know how to build a transportation formation?”

“I undid the teleportation scroll you gave Xiao Yez few days ago.”

“…”

“Although I can’t read the words, I can understand their composition.”

Old Huo said: “Don’t underestimate your Oldman Huo, your Oldman Huo is the only remaining master of artifact creation. “Even someone as amazing as me isn’t on Da Xi’s side, yet I’m giving you a free job. Don’t you think I’m being cocky?”

An Zheng: “What I’m worried about is your body; it’s too tiring to bear.”

“There’s no need for you to worry about that. Go think about something bigger and build a large scale transmission array. This old man will do it.”

Just as he was speaking, an earth dragon suddenly rose up from afar. Only when they looked carefully did they see that it was a cavalry unit that was rapidly approaching Glazed City. Looking at the size of the troop, it was roughly around three to five hundred people. However, these cavalry men weren’t riding war horses, but low-level demon beasts. However, even if it were a low level demonic beast, it would still be able to easily crush those cultivators at the Ascendant stage.

That cavalry army stopped some distance away from the city. One of them, the savage wolf, rushed out of the city gates of Glazed City, raised its head and shouted, “In your city, who can make the decision? Our master is an emissary sent by the King Zhao, he wanted to enter, and go to the Fanggu to meet your Swallow King. ”

An Zheng walked over to the top of the city gate: “Who is it?”

“Prime Minister Zhao, Sima Zhen!”

An Zheng had heard that this Sima Zhen Ru was an old subject from two generations of State of Zhao. According to his age, he should be at leasundred and twenty years old, so he must be a cultivator.

“What business do you have with my great swallow?”

“You’re just a small border soldier, I’m afraid you don’t have the right to know.”

“If you don’t want to say it, then wait outside.”

After An Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Zhao Jun and the soldiers who had shouted earlier could only return back to their own homes despite feeling infuriated. Over there, under the protection of hundreds of elite soldiers, was a chariot, which looked extremely sturdy. This war chariot was very large, with each side having a cultivator standing there with their swords crossed. Hearing the soldier’s reply, a hand came out of the chariot and pointed forward. Next, one of the cultivators with a sword in his hand strode forward, heading towards Glazed City.

The cultivator with a sword in his hands walked to the door and looked up, “Not long ago, the cultivators of your State of Yan destroyed my Song City, and killed my army, Great Zhao. This time, the reason we are here is to go to Fanggu to ask who is the person who is doing such a disgraceful thing to both countries. ”

An Zheng answered: “Yes.”

“Who are you?”

“An Zheng.”

The cultivator with the sword was clearly stunned for a moment, and then he turned around to look at the chariot. The man in the chariot stretched out his hand again and made a smooth motion.

The cultivator with the sword took a deep breath. “It doesn’t matter who you are. Now is the time for you to pay with your life for me, Big Zhao, and the other border soldiers.”

An Zheng swept down from the city walls, and gently descended in front of the cultivator.

“I’m afraid you guys aren’t here to kill me alone.”

“Since you have destroyed one of my State of Zhao, we will of course destroy one of your cities as well. Only in this way can we go to the Fanggu to negotiate with your Swallow King. If we endure this, your little Swallow King will think that I, Zhao, am easy to bully. Negotiating about this kind of thing, we have to put it on an equal footing. ”

An Zheng: “You don’t need to go to the Fanggu.”

“You can represent the Swallow King?”

“No, I only represent myself.”

An Zheng took a step forward, “It seems that it will be more beneficial for us great swallow to catch a senior official during the negotiations.”

The cultivator holding the sword’s eyes turned cold. “Madman!”

The sword in his hand abruptly swung out, its sword light flashing like a waterfall.

When he attacked, An Zheng’s heart could not help but tremble for a bit.

To think that such a casual guard would have sucowerful cultivation. That condensed and powerful Cultivation Power allowed An Zheng to instantly determine that this was a cultivator of the Lower Completion Stage.

“Killing a Duke of State of Yan is not even equal to killing a soldier of mine, Big Zhao.”

The sword intent of the cultivator formed a halo around him, attempting to suppress An Zheng.

“Small Second Rank?”

An Zheng could not help but ask.

The cultivator shook his head. “Third-rank.”

An Zheng let out an “oh”. “I’m a prisoner of the seventh rank, are you prepared to die?”
