"Fellow daoists, my family's general has some matters to attend to and will be delayed for a moment. This old man came first to apologize to all of you fellow daoists!"
The old man walked to the side of the table, but didn't sit down on the jade chair. Instead, he slowly walked to the side of the table and cupped his hands across his chest as he spoke.
"Sure enough, this isn't Tu Hong!"
Cui Hongshen was overjoyed. He immediately probed the old man's cultivation. Sure enough, he was only at the late Foundation Establishment realm!
"Haha, we wouldn't dare. Senior Tu is busy, so we will wait here!
For him to send Senior here, it really makes us juniors panic! "A disciple of the Splendid Flower Sect respectfully said.
"Haha, this old man is Lan Xin. I am the general's … assistant!"
The old man smiled, "Fellow daoists have come to help and are honored guests of my Golden Springs Mountain. How could this old man not come to receive you?
However, because this is a war, wine is not allowed. Otherwise, with the general's hospitable personality, he would have already prepared a feast to welcome you! "
"Haha, Old Master Lan, what are you saying behind my back?"
A hearty voice sounded out. From the brilliance that Lan Xin had just appeared, a tall middle-aged cultivator walked out!
Cui Hongshen's eyes brightened!
This cultivator had a square face. His face was fair and clean, with silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes. His nose was like a hanging gall bladder, and he had a long beard. His eyes were filled with righteousness!
"This is a true general!" Cui Hongshen secretly cheered in his heart!
"Not only does he have a dignified appearance, but he is also kind and approachable. He only delayed us for a moment and yet this subordinate has to come here and apologize!
He is truly admirable! "
Looking at Tu Hong's body, he wasn't wearing an ordinary daoist robe, but a soft armor that protected his vest. The valiant aura of this armor accentuated his scholarly elegance, making him stand out from the masses!
"Haha, general, how could this old man dare to speak ill of the general?
I was only casually chatting with fellow daoists. "As Lan Xin spoke, she turned to the cultivators and nodded with a smile.
But at this time, Lan Xin's eyes swept over the disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect and saw the smiling Dui Qimeng!
"Ah?"
Lan Xin's eyebrows shot up, her eyes flashing with amazement. But then, she turned to look at Tu Hong!
As Tu Hong saw Lan Xin's gaze, he was also startled. Following her gaze, he naturally saw Dui Qimeng!
Tu Hong's pupils suddenly widened, then returned to normal. Even the expression on his face changed slightly!
"Hehe, Old Master Lan, have you seen the Fellow Daoists from the various sects who came to reinforce us?"
Tu Hong was still smiling as he asked. His gaze left Dui Qimeng and gently swept across the disciples of the other sects!
"Alright, I'll let the general know that I haven't had the chance to get to know each and every one of you!"
Lan Xin also regained her composure. She bowed and said, "This old woman didn't think that the High General would arrive so quickly!"
"En, all of you are my Jin Quan Mountain's guests, they risked their lives to come here, how can this old man treat them badly?
There's no need to mention other trivial matters! "
As Tu Hong spoke, he cupped his hands across his chest and said, "This old man is Tu Hong, the guard of my Sky Patrol City at Jin Quan Mountain. Fellow Daoists have come to my Jin Quan Mountain for many days, but this old man has not seen any of you, so I feel very uneasy. I ask that fellow Daoists be magnanimous and forgive me!"
"We greet Senior Tu!" The cultivators didn't dare to be negligent. They all bowed in respect!
"Haha, do you think this old man is old?"
Tu Hong stretched out his hand and stroked his five strands of beard. He smiled and said, "It looks like this old man will have to call himself Tu!"
"Haha ~ Senior Tu is truly approachable!"
A captain of the Black Sky Sect smiled and said, "Your appearance is similar to this junior's Senior-apprentice Brother. If Senior wasn't a Golden Core cultivator, then this junior would have called you Senior-apprentice Brother!"
"Haha ~" Lan Xin also smiled and said, "The High General has eaten the Youth Preserving Herb, so your appearance will never change.
In addition, your hot-bloodedness has ensured the safety of my Jin Quan Mountain. That is something this old man cannot do! "
"That's enough!"
Tu Hong waved his hand and sat down on a jade chair. He smiled and said, "The greetings are over. Fellow Daoists, please tell me about the situation from Sky Patrol City. This way, this Tu can have a clear idea of what happened and see if there is any way to reveal our whereabouts!"
"Yes!"
Lan Xin replied from the side. She turned to the cultivators and said, "Fellow Daoists, please follow the order of the Lian Nation, Meng Nation, and Xi Nation. Follow the order from the beginning to the end!"
Thus, the disciples of the various sects followed Lan Xin's instructions. One by one, they began to recount what happened after they left Sky Patrol City's transmission array. As for Tu Hong, he sat upright on his jade chair, his expression solemn. He no longer had the playful smile from before. His eyes shined as he listened, and from time to time … he would interject and ask a few questions!
"Aiyo ~ It's a bit troublesome!"
Cui Hongshen heard the disciples of the various sects say that they had encountered different sword cultivators. They had fought life and death battles, and there had been some casualties. Moreover, the cultivation of these sword cultivators wasn't too high. Cui Hongshen suddenly realized that they had encountered dozens of swordsmen!
That was definitely not something that the 65 disciples of the Imperial Thunder Sect could deal with!
If this matter were to spread out, Xiao Hua would definitely become famous in one fell swoop!
"But, that bastard concealed his cultivation, wasn't it because he didn't want others to know?
Last time at Chicken Crow Mountain, he also clearly said not to mention his cultivation! "Cui Hongshen said with a faint feeling of jealousy.
However, after he heard He Fang Yuan and Yang Fangcheng's words, he had a plan in his heart. What these two people said was the same as what they had discussed before. They only said that they had encountered a beast cultivator at the end, and at the critical moment of being besieged, the Imperial Thunder Sect disciples had come to help. They didn't mention any disciples that had escaped!
Since others had concealed it, he could certainly conceal it!
When Cui Hongshen reported, he clearly stated the route he had taken, as well as the sword cultivators and beast cultivators he had encountered. However, the cultivation and number of sword cultivators had shrunk!
Tu Hong also nodded as he listened. After Cui Hongshen finished, he said, "In a great battle of the sword path, our Dao Sect's cultivators should work together to resist the enemy.
This time, Imperial Thunder Sect came to help our Jin Quan Mountain's spirit stone mine. They had done well in this matter. When the other sects' disciples were in danger, they stepped forward despite the difficulties and risked their lives. They should be rewarded! "
Then, he looked at the others and said, "I would like to report this to Sky Patrol City and award Jin Quan Mountain's first great merit to Imperial Thunder Sect's first team. Does anyone have any objections?"
"My Tai Qing Sect supports it!"
He Fang Yuan was the first to raise his hand without hesitation. Yang Fangcheng, Ke Xingxi and the rest also agreed. The other cultivators looked at each other helplessly.
It was very obvious that although there were more than a dozen disciples behind the Imperial Thunder Sect who hadn't reported, from the previous reports, it seemed that apart from the first team of the Imperial Thunder Sect who acted to save others, most of the other teams didn't care about their own safety and escaped if they could. Even if someone acted, it was only to save one team. How could they save four or five teams at once?
"We have no objections!"
The other disciples naturally knew that Tu Hong was trying to motivate them and raise their morale. They had no objections to Imperial Thunder Sect's reward, so they raised their hands and agreed with a bitter expression.
