As soon as his master Zhou Buping returned from the inner gate, Li Qian hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.
"Coming next, there will definitely be a major conflict, and the Imperial Family has sent a Heavenly Person to supervise."
Zhou Buping briefly explained the situation, "You should just focus on cultivating diligently and strive to enhance your strength. There’s no need to worry too much for now; your generation shouldn’t be needed at this stage, but that might change later on."
Once the fighting starts, the situation will surely be extremely brutal.
Therefore, in the early stages, it will mainly be the seasoned Martial Artists of the Divine Sword Sect in action.
Young elite Martial Artists like Li Qian, being precious seeds, won’t be easily expended in the war.
"Understood, master."
Li Qian nodded; naturally, he understood this rationale.
Inner gate missions are entirely different from war, with the level of danger being many times higher.
...
Situated at the Chen Bell Platform, Li Qian didn’t feel much of the tension.
He resumed a peaceful life of bell-striking training.
However, at this moment, the Divine Sword Sect had already begun preparing for the all-out war.
Not to mention the seized Xuanzhou Iron City must be reclaimed, the Imperial Family also required the Divine Sword Sect to coordinate with the Night King Mansion to annihilate the rebellious Luo King Mansion.
The justification for the expedition was simple.
The Luo King Mansion was one of the instigators behind the Jade Capital’s rebellion, and on top of that, they had annexed the Baihua Palace, recklessly expanding their power.
Time passed day by day.
Li Qian was not completely isolated from news.
Master Zhou Buping was deeply concerned about the situation, running to the inner gate every day... his own land was almost going to waste now.
With the imminent great battle of the Divine Sword Sect, it wouldn’t make sense for him, a retired elder, to continue leisurely farming.
Moreover, as a retired elder who had regained some combat capabilities, if the war situation became desperate, he might very well be recalled to battle by the sect.
Just like that, another month passed by.
Master Zhou Buping brought back another piece of news.
"Just received word, the fighting has already started over by the Iron City."
The reason it took so long to start the war was mainly that it took time for the Night King Mansion’s anti-rebellion Martial Arts Army to get to Xuanzhou, plus various strategic preparations.
In fact, the covert skirmishes between the Divine Sword Sect and the Luo King Mansion had never stopped.
Another month went by in this manner.
The conflict was stuck in a deadlock.
The Luo King Mansion had deployed heavy troops around Xuanzhou Iron City, with a very high number of high-rank Martial Artists.
It was said that even Heavenly Persons have clashed several times.
As for the large-scale battles of the Martial Arts Army, they never ceased.
Moreover, both parties would dispatch small groups of high-rank Martial Artists to infiltrate the other’s territory and attack logistics and supplies.
...
A black shadow, flapping its broad wings, descended from the sky.
It’s Xiao Hei.
Li Qian casually named the black eagle.
Li Qian flicked a Feeding Pill toward it. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
