Chapter 864: Chapter 296: Full Force Military Building
Outside the White Paper Immortal City.
Yin Soldier Camp.
Sun Lingtong scanned the surroundings, transmitting everything she saw and heard to Ning Zhuo through the Life Hanging Thread.
Ning Zhuo “saw” a large number of Yin Soldiers using an ointnt.
The Yin Soldiers opened the ointnt and then evenly applied it on themselves.
When the ointnt was slapped on, it often emitted the sound of beings dying miserably.
These sounds were absorbed into the Yin Soldiers’ bodies and quickly dissipated.
Sun Lingtong explained in a tily manner: “I found out that this type of elixir pill is called Death Echo Ointnt.”
“It’s mainly made of Netherworld Grass, Moon Shadow Dew, and Ghost Flower Mud. Now the entire Yin Soldier army regularly applies this ointnt daily.”
“At first, there’s no effect, but with continued application, it gradually builds up, eventually transforming the soul body with the sound of death, resulting in Heavy Armor Protection.”
Sun Lingtong added: “However, since this dicine temporarily transforms the soul body, once the effect wears off, the soul will enter extre weakness. If no follow-up elixirs are taken, it can also result in soul body deformity, mory confusion, and severe intelligence loss.”
Ning Zhuo suddenly recalled the dangerous operations perford by the Liangzhu Country’s army to enhance their heavy armor during a major battle in which he participated.
He realized the severity of the situation: “So, the Yin Soldier army is actively preparing for a decisive battle!”
“When this Yin Soldier army first stationed, it wasn’t that large. But after going through so many Ghost Tides, constantly absorbing ghosts among them, and with the Wanchuan Underworld steadily increasing their troops, their scale is now nearing one hundred thousand!”
“If this entire army attacks, can the White Paper Immortal City hold?”
Ning Zhuo felt imnse pressure.
Although he was the Deputy City Lord, the White Paper City Lord hadn’t truly empowered him. Therefore, Ning Zhuo was still completely unaware of the foundations of the White Paper Immortal City.
At most, he knew that the Paperman Giant Statue possessed Nascent Soul combat power.
“And the true key to this great battle isn’t in the White Paper Immortal City, but in the Wangchuan Underworld!”
Due to ng Yaoyin’s arrangents, Ning Zhuo was privy to the overall intelligence.
But he hadn’t revealed information about the Heavenly Ghost Transformation Sacrifice Ceremony or the Lord of Wanchuan’s century-long plot.
Because keeping these secrets didn’t hinder the White Paper City Lord, Yang Sanyan, Wen Ruanyu, and others from actively defending.
Sun Lingtong asked, “Little Zhuo, our ti is running out.”
“What about the Qing Jiao Army?”
“Can you ensure that they’ll have the courage to enter the Netherworld and fight to the death at the last mont?”
“Even if you control Qing Chi with the Life Hanging Thread, can this little girl, who has the military’s support, truly command the Qing Jiao Army to risk everything and kill the enemy?”
Ning Zhuo sighed: “This requires careful planning.”
He severed the connection with Sun Lingtong, pondered for a mont, and called Qing Chi.
When Qing Chi heard Ning Zhuo wanted to see her, she imdiately bead with joy and hurried to Ning Zhuo’s residence.
“Little Ma, did you miss ?” Qing Chi was as enthusiastic as ever.
“You’re always focused on cultivation, or busy helping the City Lord.”
“Now that we’ve caught the traitor, you can finally take a break. I’ll keep you company, and we can do the things we enjoy!”
Qing Chi’s eyes were burning with passion.
Ning Zhuo felt his scalp tingle.
He coughed lightly: “Miss Qing Chi, even though we caught a traitor, we didn’t capture him alive to obtain crucial intelligence.”
“We don’t know if there are other traitors among us.”
“In such circumstances, maintaining our previous caution and vigilance, without relaxing, is the best course.”
“Moreover, with the enemy forces outside the city reaching nearly a hundred thousand, the White Paper Immortal City’s situation is critical. We can’t afford to relax!”
Despite her deep affection for Jiao Ma, Qing Chi was also sensible.
She sighed: “Thanks to you, Little Ma, we’ve secured investnt from the Myriad Images Sect. Now, the military supply issue is resolved, and we have two guidelines for the military system as a foundation.”
“Once I comprehend the third guideline, we can move to the next stage.”
“With the proper establishnt of military equipnt, our Qing Jiao Army will officially be ford.”
“It’s just a pity that we’re still a step behind. Had we succeeded in building the army earlier, we could have launched a full-scale attack when the enemy first stationed, possibly annihilating them.”
“Now, we’ve allowed them to settle easily, and they’ve grown significantly. If our Qing Jiao Army engages them in battle, it would surely be a suicide mission!”
Ning Zhuo remained silent, reflecting internally.
He had a different perspective on this matter.
“This could very well be the evolution of Mortal World Cang Tian’s lifespan.”
“The Mortal World intends to execute heavenly retribution upon the Lord of Wanchuan, hence making various arrangents.”
“According to Grey Bone Elder’s plan, the Qing Jiao Army is a formidable tool against the Lord of Wanchuan!”
“In normal circumstances, establishing a new army is exceedingly challenging, requiring not only resources but also a consensus among various forces. Despite White Paper Immortal City’s wealth, why hasn’t a cultivation army been ford until now?”
As Ning Zhuo spent more ti here, he gradually understood the deeper structure within.
“Since it’s Cang Tian’s arrangent, I must lead the Qing Jiao Army to its destined stage.”
“But before that, I must do everything possible to strengthen this army.”
“I believe the Mortal World Cang Tian chose as a savior, considering the resources I possess.”
“In that case, I will go with the flow and fulfill my destiny.”
Having made his decision long ago, Ning Zhuo took out a helt as he thought about it.
Qing Chi imdiately cast a curious look, noticing that the helt was semi-circular with a wide visor and a slightly uplifted top, resembling a phoenix about to spread its wings. Its Ancient Bronze color was marred with nurous scratches and dents, evidence of its battles.
