"All of it lted?"
Elder Wu was astonished.
"Yes, it can be completed in just a few days at the fastest."
Jiang Shi inquired.
"If it’s just lting Profound Iron, using the sect’s high-temperature furnace should only take two days. If we have to rge it with other tals, it might take a bit more ti."
Elder Wu said.
"How about five days?"
Jiang Shi asked.
"I’ll try my best."
Elder Wu replied.
"Alright, Elder Wu, please do your best, the sooner the better."
Jiang Shi spoke.
The Noble Families of Northern Zhou are heading south, intending to massacre Great Xuan. This is sothing the major clans absolutely cannot tolerate, and the Five Great Alliances will probably take action soon.
He must create the weapon before the Five Great Alliances make a move.
Only then can he have the power to protect himself.
"Yes, Jiang Right Envoy."
Elder Wu bowed in response.
Jiang Shi turned and left again.
He then went to see the Sect Leader once more to inquire about more details.
The Sect Leader, Chen Xuantian, had an exceptionally grave expression and told Jiang Shi that the situation in the north was extrely severe. The leaders of the five alliances had already gone to negotiate, temporarily stabilizing the Northern Zhou’s forces at God-Burning Ridge. However, from Northern Zhou’s attitude, it seed they weren’t interested in negotiating at all.
This negotiation could collapse at any mont.
The experts of the Yiyuan Alliance had quickly started to gather and head towards God-Burning Ridge; the Liangyi Alliance and the Three Talents Alliance were also in action.
Although they hadn’t yet received orders from their Four Symbols Alliance Leader, Hong Tiann, it was imaginable that it wouldn’t be easy.
"For now, do your best to seclude yourself, don’t overthink. In the next couple of days, I will keep a close watch on the movents at God-Burning Ridge. Once the Alliance Leader gives an order, I will inform you."
Chen Xuantian spoke, saying, "Also, you must be careful. Your battle at Jue Long Ridge has made quite a stir; not only have the major families taken notice, but the news has also reached Northern Zhou, drawing attention there. It’s very likely they will send experts to assassinate you."
"Assassinate ?"
Jiang Shi raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, this is the usual tactic of Northern Zhou. Before a war begins, they first attempt to assassinate our strong leaders. One reason is to destroy our resolve, the other is to boost their own morale. Historically, many talented heroes from the south were tragically killed during Northern Zhou’s invasions."
Chen Xuantian warned in a stern voice.
"Alright, I will be cautious."
Jiang Shi nodded.
He didn’t stay long and once again got up and left.
Once out of the main hall, he imdiately headed to the dicinal Materials Pavilion to find Elder Lie to borrow more dicinal materials.
Elder Lie had long been accustod to his borrowing, too indifferent to say anything, so he took out all the herbs Jiang Shi needed, then closed his eyes, unwilling to look at him again.
Jiang Shi didn’t stand on ceremony, smiled slightly, picked up the bundle, and left.
He wasted no ti, returning to his room, he imdiately began to seclude himself again, rigorously cultivating his Dragon Elephant Tenfold Technique and Primordial Golden Light Palm.
The previous battle with ng Fang had given him great inspiration.
His Dragon Elephant Tenfold Technique, driven to the extre, produced a series of palm shadows, which could briefly reveal a projection of the Ancient Dragon Elephant, instilling a psychological shock in others.
Perhaps when cultivated to perfection, he might really be able to summon the Ancient Dragon Elephant.
Ti flew by quickly.
As Jiang Shi was in seclusion, the outside world was in uproar.
On one hand, the invasion of the formidable Northern Zhou enemy was a sense of oppression to the major clans, and on the other, the previous battle at Jue Long Ridge brought enormous pressure.
For a ti, every family was restless, caught in discussions and debates.
Three days later.
Jiang Shi’s Dragon Elephant Tenfold Technique smoothly broke through to the Sixth Realm, while his Primordial Golden Light Palm advanced to the Second Realm, resulting in three more drops of Dragon Elephant Qi Blood in his body, boosting his strength dramatically once more.
And just then, there was finally new news from the Sect Leader.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Shi imdiately exited seclusion and rushed to the main hall.
"Jiang Right Envoy, you have arrived."
Inside the main hall, Chen Xuantian appeared very old and tired, and after several days, his essence seed even weaker than before, evidently feeling increasingly powerless.
"Sect Leader, has the negotiation broken down?"
Jiang Shi’s eyes flickered.
"Yes, not only has it broken down, Northern Zhou tribes have assembled, experts of the noble families are at God-Burning Ridge, claiming they will completely destroy Great Xuan within three months."
Chen Xuantian sighed, "Now the Alliance Leader has ordered that all families under the Four Symbols Alliance head to the front line, fearing a true at grinder of a battle is imminent."
"Completely destroy Great Xuan within three months?"
Jiang Shi frowned, "Can the various factions within Great Xuan’s major families truly unite against the enemy?"
"It’s very difficult, very difficult. But regardless of whether they are willing to resist, this battle is unavoidable."
Chen Xuantian sighed softly,
"Northern Zhou and Great Xuan families are mortal enemies. Even if so defect to Northern Zhou, once Northern Zhou takes control of Great Xuan, they will still seize the Blessed Lands of those families. Historically, interests are the most enticing. Great Xuan has many Blessed Lands, which Northern Zhou cannot compare to. Once they take over, these lands are destined to beco theirs. For these places, these families will likely fight desperately."
"That makes sense."
Jiang Shi nodded, "So the Alliance Leader ans for us to move now?"
"Yes."
Chen Xuantian replied.
"Sect Leader, may I wait for two more days? My weapon is not yet completed."
Jiang Shi asked.
Chen Xuantian furrowed his brow and said, "I fear there isn’t enough ti. How about this, you wait for the weapon in the sect, and I will lead the others to join the families. You can catch up later."
"Alright!"
Jiang Shi agreed.
His weapon would take at least two more days to create. In these two days, he could elevate his Dragon Elephant Tenfold Technique another realm.
