Chapter 827: Chapter 828 Sky-reaching Fortress! (3rd update)
Given the relationship between Ling Feng and Tong Chengtai, they naturally obtained approval to use the Thousand chanism Pavilion’s Teleportation Array with ease.
After preparing separately, the group gathered outside the Thousand chanism Pavilion once again. Although only Ling Feng, Lee Bufan, Mu Qianxue, and Tuoba Yan were heading to the Northwest Camp, the rest of the team ca to see them off.
“By the way, Xiao Fan.”
Ling Feng thought for a mont, then took out the token given to him by Fung Wuheng, the Supre Elder of the Heavenly Alliance, from his Spirit Storage Ring. He casually handed it to Jiang Xiaofan and said lightly, “You stay in the Imperial City for cultivation, there might be soone who can help you.”
“Who is it?” Jiang Xiaofan asked excitedly.
“Take this token to the Sky Alliance Comrce and find a Supre Elder nad Fung Wuheng. When people from the Heavenly Alliance see this token, they won’t trouble you.”
“Alright, alright.” Jiang Xiaofan nodded eagerly.
“Then, have Fung Taishang or that Yuuanzhi Supre next to him take you to Fla Valley to find a senior nad Sword Obsession. Although Senior Sword Obsession can be sowhat unapproachable, with your personality and talent, he should like you. Just say I introduced you to learn smithing with him.”
“Smithing?” Jiang Xiaofan was stunned and asked in confusion, “Why learn smithing?”
“You’ll understand once you get there.” Ling Feng patted Jiang Xiaofan’s shoulder. “Senior Sword Obsession also has another senior called Elixir Demon by his side. Both of them are quite eccentric, but they’re not bad people. If you can learn even a bit from them, it’ll be imnsely beneficial.”
“Alright.” Jiang Xiaofan nodded heavily, not questioning Ling Feng’s words, and said solemnly, “Okay, I’ll go learn smithing from Senior Sword Obsession!”
“Do your best!” Ling Feng smiled lightly. Right now, Jiang Xiaofan was like a rough jade, possessing trendous brute force, but his technique was lacking. If he could train with Sword Obsession to refine his technique in using strength, he could truly transform into a perfect gem.
If that were to happen, Jiang Xiaofan could achieve a huge breakthrough even without entering the Ancient Tower Forest.
“Wow, Brother Feen, you’re so biased!”
Lin Mochen said discontentedly, “You only introduced a master to Xiao Fan and not to the rest of us!”
“Oh.” Ling Feng touched his nose, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. “If you’re willing, you can all go to Fla Valley with Xiao Fan.”
“Haha, you said it!” Lin Mochen and the others beca excited instantly.
“Yes, I said it.” Ling Feng smiled faintly, adding in his heart: If you can handle it!
The Elixir Demon and Sword Obsession are truly outsiders, but probably only soone as robust as Jiang Xiaofan could endure their “care.” As for Lin Mochen and the others…
Well, it wouldn’t hurt them to experience so hardship too!
…
Luohai City.
In the Western Wilderness, amidst a thousand miles of yellow sand, only this Luohai City had water that never dried up, thanks to the river running through it. Luohai City was naturally a prosperous and flourishing place in the Northwest.
And within the Empire, the famous Sky-reaching Fortress was located five hundred miles west of Luohai City.
This place was a strategic location on the frontier!
On that day, the Tianyang Empire Envoy Team ca to the Sky White Empire, ostensibly to bring back Nangong Yin, but in reality, it was to seize three strategic passes of the Sky White Empire, with the Sky-reaching Fortress being the most crucial.
The Northwest Army was able to remain stable at the border because the Sky-reaching Fortress was easy to defend and hard to attack, serving as a natural barrier.
If the Sky-reaching Fortress were destroyed, then this Luohai City would imdiately turn into scorched earth, no longer prosperous.
However, as long as the Sky-reaching Fortress stood for a day, the city behind it would remain as solid as a rock.
As the light of the Teleportation Array flashed, four figures erged from it—Ling Feng and his companions.
The guards responsible for overseeing the Teleportation Array glanced at them and imdiately approached, saying, “Ladies and gentlen, Luohai City is a crucial border region. Please cooperate with us. Any martial artist using Luohai City’s Teleportation Array must be registered.”
“No problem, no problem.” Ling Feng cupped his fists to the guard, who stood tall and filled with vitality. Even the lowest-ranked soldiers were steadfastly performing their duties.
From these soldiers, one could see the entire deanor of the Northwest Army.
This was indeed a well-trained force!
“Oh, you’re students from the Heavenly Position Academy, my apologies.”
The Little Captain’s face eased slightly after seeing their registration, as students graduating from the Four Great Universities often beca centurions in the military, far beyond what these soldiers could aspire to.
“You’re too kind.”
Ling Feng laughed freely, noting that twilight was approaching, and said to those around him, “It’s already late today. Let’s rest for the night in Luohai City before heading to the Sky-reaching Fortress tomorrow.”
“The Sky-reaching Fortress?”
The Little Captain’s pupils shrank, his face imdiately turning serious, “Why are you going to the Sky-reaching Fortress?”
“Oh, it’s like this.” Ling Feng’s eyes flickered as he quickly fabricated a story, “I have a few brothers in the army who asked to visit the Sky-reaching Fortress and see if I can catch the generals’ attention.”
“I see.”
The Little Captain nodded slightly, “But it’s best not to go to the Sky-reaching Fortress for now. The Northern Demon Clan has been restless recently!”
“Northern Demon Clan?”
Ling Feng squinted. He had once gone to the Southern Border Demon Domain and heard a bit about the Northern Demon Clan—like the Three-headed Demon Flood Dragon Clan, which might not be significant in the Southern Border Demon Domain, but in the Northern Demon Domain, they were indeed an overlord level existence.
“Yes, the Northern Demon Clan has been constantly harassing and invading recently. The generals at the fort are probably very busy, and your brothers likely have no ti to entertain you.” The Little Captain said solemnly, “We’ve also sent many garrison troops from here at Luohai City to the frontline as reinforcents, so we’re paying extra attention to outsiders. Otherwise, usually those using our Teleportation Array wouldn’t need to register at all.”
“Thank you for the information.” Ling Feng nodded, thanking the Little Captain with a cupped fist, not expecting to co at such a bad ti.
However, in the Northwest Army, his relationship with Yue Tengfeng was pretty good. As long as he found Yue Tengfeng, seeing the Northwest Army Commander shouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, he was also a General Wei Yuan, although not as renowned as those who had won battles at the border, but still held a military position.
“Ling Feng, what should we do now?”
Lee Bufan frowned. Had he known about the issues at the Sky-reaching Fortress, he would have had his grandfather write a personal letter. With the Grand Commandant’s personal recomndation, eting the Northwest Army Commander would have been a cinch.
“Let’s find an inn to stay for now.” Ling Feng laughed nonchalantly. After all, there was still a month to go, so there was no rush. Moreover, the Northern Demon Clan’s border harassnt might even be an opportunity for him.
A chance to continue breakthrough with the Eight Desolate Body Forging Technique!
