Chapter 5173
Ye Guxing looked at a squarish weapon cultivator behind the weapon cultivator and replied faintly, "Zhuang Hong, Zhu Jing is also the City Guard General. Since he has already reported it, what else do you need me to say?"
The squarish weapon cultivator, Zhu Jing, might be a little embarrassed but he did not show it on his face. He said with a calm expression, "Sword Master Ye, I received the news and hurried to report it to my Sword Master, so the information I received is not accurate …"
"Haha …" The leader of the weapon cultivators, Zhuang Hong, smiled and said, "Zhu Jing is only defending a corner of the Sky Patrol City. How can he know more than General Meng?
Moreover, the defense and affairs of the entire Sky Patrol City are under Sword Master Ye's control. I'm only here to assist. My Flying Feather Sect naturally doesn't know more than the Sky Patrol Sword Sect … "
Ye Guxing sighed slightly when he heard Zhuang Hong exculpating Zhu Jing. He also knew that the three sides of the Sky Patrol City's defense could not be messed up in the face of unknown enemies, so he said, "It's like this …"
Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, a strong gust of wind howled as several huge beast cultivators descended from the sky. The beast cultivator in front was several times larger than an ordinary person. His face was covered in white hair. Before he landed on the ground, he roared like a bear, "Fellow Swordsman Ye, which blind bastard dares to offend my Sky Patrol City?"
Ye Guxing felt a primitive violence from this beast cultivator. He did not dare to mock Zhuang Hong like he did before. Instead, he changed his tone and said faintly, "Sword Master Xue Cheng, you came at the right time. We were just worried. The City Guard General of the Sky Patrol City today is Meng Peng. His patrol team found unknown Dao Cultivator disciples approaching the Sky Patrol City, but we don't know how many there are and why they are here …"
"Roar, isn't that simple?"
The beast cultivator, Xue Cheng, roared and turned around. "Crane Lord, you're the City Guard General of the Quilted Mountain Sect today. Why aren't you going to investigate?"
"Yes, your subordinate obeys …" A thin and tall beast cultivator behind Xue Cheng hurriedly flashed out and flew into the sky. When a yellow light flashed behind him, a pair of fleshy wings extended from his body. He then shouted a few times and the previously lazy beast cultivators immediately became spirited. Each of them used their abilities to fly into the sky and disappeared after a while.
Seeing that the Beast Cultivator's Quilted Mountain Sect had taken action, the Weapon Cultivator's Flying Feather Sect was too embarrassed to refuse. Zhuang Hong turned around and gave a few instructions. Zhu Jing also led the Weapon Cultivator's patrol team and flew out of Sky Patrol City.
"Reporting to the three Sword Masters on duty …" Meng Peng saw Ye Guxing winking at him and hurriedly bowed. "I was guarding the city when I received a report from my patrolling disciples … If I'm not mistaken, other than the area where the Sword Tomb is located, a large number of Dao Cultivator disciples have appeared in the other areas …"
"Motherf * cker, is … is this the Great War of Dao and Sword?"
After listening to Meng Peng's brief report, Xue Cheng became a little excited and shouted, "Why didn't I hear anything beforehand?"
Zhuang Hong was also surprised. He turned to look at Ye Guxing.
At this moment, Ye Guxing's brows were tightly knitted. He had thought a lot during this short period of time. He looked at Zhuang Hong and Xue Cheng and nodded solemnly. "What Sword Friend Xue said makes sense!"
"What?
Is the Great War of Sword Dao really about to start? "This time, even Zhuang Hong could not remain calm. He exclaimed," How's that possible?
The Three Kingdoms of Dao Cultivators … How can they start the Great War of Sword Dao first? "
"Why not?"
Xue Cheng was very happy when he heard Ye Guxing agree with his idea. He shouted, "Previously, when Sky Patrol City was controlled by Dao Cultivators, it was Heng Nation's Sword Cultivators who started the Great War of Sword Dao. Now that Sky Patrol City is controlled by Sword Cultivators, it's only natural that the Dao Cultivators will start the Great War of Sword Dao!"
"No, it's not that simple!"
Zhuang Hong shook his head and said, "Putting aside the fact that it's only been less than a thousand years since the last Great War of Dao and Sword Cultivators, there's no need for Sword Dao and Dao Cultivators to start a Great War of Sword Dao. Let's talk about the current Dawn Rain Continent. Apart from Sword Cultivators, Dao Cultivators from the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation, there's also the Heavenly Demonic Sect.
Moreover, the Heavenly Demonic Sect's strength is expanding rapidly. There's a faint tripartite balance of forces. How could the Great War of Dao and Sword Dao be started so easily?
Don't the Dao Cultivators fear the Heavenly Demonic Sect's strength? "
"Yes …" Ye Guxing nodded and said, "Sword Friend Zhuang is right.
There's no reason for the Dao Cultivators to start the Great War of Dao and Sword Dao.
In the last Great War of Dao and Sword Dao, Heng Nation's Sword Cultivators achieved an unprecedented victory. The three nations of Dao Cultivators suffered a great loss. It's impossible for them to recover in just a few hundred years.
Moreover, the Million Meng Mountains have been very peaceful for the past few hundred years. Heng Nation has not deployed any troops in the Million Meng Mountains area. Their strength has been increasing while the Dao Cultivators' strength has been declining due to the great change in Heaven and Earth's Spiritual Energy. How could they start the Great War of Dao and Sword Dao in a hurry? "
"Motherf * cker …" Xue Cheng was confused. He asked curiously, "Ye Guxing, didn't you agree with me just now?
Why did you change your mind after I finished speaking? "
"Haha …" Ye Guxing laughed. "I agree with your last sentence!"
"My last sentence?" Xue Cheng was even more confused.
"That's right!"
Zhuang Hong nodded slightly and said, "Whether it's the Great War of Dao and Sword Dao or the siege of the city by other Dao Cultivators, why didn't we hear anything about it beforehand?
There's definitely a problem! "
Ye Guxing was shocked. He looked at Meng Peng and said, "Meng Peng, do you have anything to say?"
Meng Peng's forehead was covered in sweat. He said with some fear, "Sword Master Ye, Sword Master Xue's words reminded me. I … suddenly remembered that in the past few months, many of the patrolling disciples in Sky Patrol City … have died …"
"Damn it!" Ye Guxing cursed angrily, "Why didn't you report this to me earlier!"
Meng Peng opened his mouth to speak, but he quickly swallowed his words. He lowered his head and said, "Sword Master Ye, it's … It's my negligence!
After all, there are patrolling disciples who die in Sky Patrol City every year. Although many have died in the past few months, it's still within a manageable range, so … "
Meng Peng's hesitation fell into Ye Guxing's eyes. He thought for a moment and understood Meng Peng's difficulties. It was not that Meng Peng did not report it, but it was clearly that the three Sword Masters who were in charge of the City Lord Mansion, including himself, did not pay attention to Meng Peng's report!
Moreover, Ye Guxing knew very well that there were advantages and disadvantages to having the three Sword Sects in charge of Sky Patrol City. The past thousand years of peace had long made him and the others let down their guard. Their sense of smell was not as sharp as it was a thousand years ago.
However, Ye Guxing did not show it. Instead, he scolded, "If that's the case, why don't you hurry up and find out?"
"Yes, I'll …" Meng Peng did not know if Ye Guxing understood. He did not dare to gamble. Since he did not intend to make it clear, he could only take responsibility. He hurriedly agreed and did not dare to delay. He urged his body to fly away.
However, at this moment, "Woo …" Above Sky Patrol City, a black shadow that was hundreds of feet tall flew down from the dense red clouds. When it flew closer, Meng Peng could see clearly that it was the light shadow of a green crane!
The green crane flapped its wings and swept away the snow nearby. When the green crane landed, its wings trembled strangely and contracted. The huge light shadow slowly disappeared, revealing the figure of Crane Lord!
"How is it?" Xue Cheng grinned and asked, "Did you find out anything?"
"General Meng, you don't have to go!"
Although Crane Lord's figure was revealed, his body was still trembling uncontrollably. There were light red beads of sweat between his eyebrows, but he said proudly, "I've found out that there are nearly two million Dao cultivators surrounding Sky Patrol City more than five hundred miles away …"
"What?
Two million Dao cultivators??? "
Ye Guxing was not the only one who turned pale. Zhuang Hong and Xue Cheng's expressions changed drastically as they exclaimed, "Are … are you sure?"
Crane Lord rolled his slightly withered eyes and replied, "Of course, I'm not completely sure.
After all, I can only find out the approximate number of cultivators in a certain direction in such a short time. However, based on the number of cultivators in this area, I estimate that there are more than two million Dao cultivators surrounding the city! "
Seeing how He Jun's body only stopped trembling as he spoke, Ye Guxing knew that He Jun must have used some kind of Beast Cultivation Secret Technique. In such a short period of time, he had rushed to a certain direction to check the number of people before returning. Even he didn't have such a magical ability.
However, he looked at Crane Lord's calm expression and did not panic like him and the others. He pondered for a moment and said, "Since you said there are two million Dao cultivators, then there are two million Dao cultivators.
But … it seems like you have a plan?
Could it be that you already know the origin of these Dao cultivators? "
Crane Lord nodded proudly and said, "That's right.
I've found out that although there are many Dao cultivators, they are nothing in the eyes of the Three Swords Sect! "
"Oh?" Before Ye Guxing could speak, Xue Cheng asked curiously, "Why do you say so?"
"Could it be that the cultivation of these Dao cultivators is extremely low??" Ye Guxing thought of a possibility and asked tentatively.
"That's right!"
Crane Lord's stiff face squeezed out a smile and replied, "I don't know about the situation in other places, but from what I've found out … the highest cultivation level is estimated to be at the Middle-stage of Golden Core!"
"Damn it …" Xue Cheng shouted, "Isn't … isn't this the Great War between Dao and Sword?"
Ye Guxing was also dumbfounded. He looked at Zhuang Hong and both of their eyes were filled with disbelief!
Zhuang Hong groaned softly, "More than two million Dao cultivators?
Which … which sects in the Three Kingdoms of Cultivation gathered this number?
Where was their meeting hall located?
Why … why haven't I heard anything about this in Sky Patrol City? "
Xue Cheng sneered and said, "Nonsense, didn't the Mountain Patrol Sword Sect kill many of their patrolling disciples?
I think they must have found something … "
