Chapter 1224 - 1224 104 Fall_2

Chapter 1224: Chapter 104: Fall_2 Chapter 1224: Chapter 104: Fall_2 “No wonder even a Class IV Demonic Beast is no match for senior…”

Qian Baimao secretly thought to himself.

Immediately after, he mentally cheered himself up:

“Senior has deliberately taken me along, it must be because he appreciates my calm and composed nature, able to alert senior at all times… I must remind senior constantly!”

The Taoist in green robes was, of course, unaware of his thoughts, his indifferent face showing only a slight trace of contemplation before he suddenly spoke,

“Does Martial Uncle Ge know of the current situation?”

He had been on a journey and had not inquired about the situation in Fenglin Continent from the Sect.

Although his question was brief, Ge Shoucheng, who was flying towards the north, understood his meaning and after thinking carefully about his words, then said,

“I don’t know much, but the overall situation hasn’t changed much in the past few years, except that the cultivators from the Three Continents have been making significant progress in attacking and seizing territories.

I heard it’s because the number of True Martial Cultivators has surged, blossoming on all fronts, resulting in Yan losing all of its territories by the North Sea…”

He shook his head slightly,

“Kingdom of Immortals was also quietly attacking Dai State, who would have thought they would have taken down Chu without a sound.”

“True Martial Cultivators…”

The Taoist in green robes hummed thoughtfully before quickly asking,

“The Sect, has it taken any actions against Kingdom of Immortals?”

“Actions against Kingdom of Immortals?”

Ge Shoucheng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head,

“I am not sure about that, when you reach Chen State, you can ask around… we’re here.”

As he spoke,

The green whirlwind quietly dissipated.

The three of them stood suspended over a low mountain range that showed clear signs of being soaked by sea water.

Below the mountain range, a large number of Hailing Nation’s people were gathering.

The Ghost Market of Hailing Nation was also nearby.

...

The three did not pause and swiftly flew into the Ghost Market, soon being personally greeted by the Guardian of the Hailing Nation Ghost Market.

“Mi Fei pays his respects to the Chief Division Master and Martial Uncle Ge.”

A young cultivator with a solemn face saluted toward the Taoist in green robes and Ge Shoucheng.

The Spiritual Energy of Hailing Nation was dwindling, lacking many valuable goods; if it weren’t for its coastline which provided access to precious oceanic products, there might not even be a Linglong Ghost Market here at all.

Therefore, the Guardian of the Ghost Market here also had a Cultivation Realm around the early-stage Nascent Soul, with a generational rank the same as Wang Ba.

“This is…”

His gaze shifted slightly towards Qian Baimao, somewhat puzzled.

Qian Baimao couldn’t help but feel a tightness in his heart.

Being a Qi Refining cultivator, being observed by a Nascent Soul entity was a kind of pressure so intense it could suffocate.

But more importantly, he was more nervous about how this towering figure would regard him, what he was in his eyes.

The Taoist in green robes responded indifferently,

“A disciple on a Sect-ordained journey.”

The young cultivator suddenly realized, then quickly led the way.

Following behind, Qian Baimao’s mood immediately relaxed tremendously upon hearing this.

The ecstasy bubbling up from the depths of his heart, however, was uncontrollable!

“Is senior acknowledging me?”

“A disciple on a Sect-ordained journey… that means, when I go out, I can use senior’s name… Wait!

I only know senior seems to be some Chief Division Master, but I don’t know senior’s proper name…”

With this thought, his heart was filled with self-reproach and anxiety.

But it wasn’t a good time to ask, so he could only follow closely behind.

Before long, under the guidance of the young cultivator, the trio arrived at a Teleportation Array.

“I won’t see you off.

With Senior Brother Yao there, once you reach Chen State, he should be able to ensure your safety,”

Ge Shoucheng said from outside the Teleportation Array.

The Taoist in green robes gave a slight nod, and then he and Qian Baimao vanished within the Formation.

“Alas, these are troubled times!”

Ge Shoucheng sighed.

Hearing this, the Guardian Mi Fei’s expression turned solemn too, asking,

“Martial Uncle Ge, I heard that the sea dykes were breached.

I was too occupied with resettling the disaster victims to offer any support.

How is the situation now?”

Ge Shoucheng couldn’t help but shake his head,

“The dyke has pretty much been rebuilt, but the sea level has been rising rapidly in recent years, and the number of Demonic Beasts brought by the floods are also increasing.

I’m afraid that in another two or three years, even if we double the workforce, we may not be able to hold this circle of dykes.”

“When that time comes, we might have to abandon Hailing Nation, and perhaps even Heichi Nation, using the ‘Baiping Mountain Range’ as a boundary to separate the seawater.”

Hearing this, Mi Fei’s complexion inevitably turned much graver:

“If such a large area is abandoned, once the Baiping Mountain Range is breached, Jin will have to directly face the impact of the sea…”

Ge Shoucheng waved his hand,

“If Jin gets flooded, then it’s likely the entire Fenglin Continent would end up like the Three Continents… It’s not yet at that point, Jin and Yan are, after all, far higher in elevation than the surroundings, and this is also why the Three Continents are so eager to seize our Fenglin Continent.

It’s just that I’m afraid if this great flood continues unabated, then even high ground will be of no use.”

“Let’s hope this great flood stops.”

Mi Fei sighed deeply.

“Yes, let’s hope it stops, otherwise…”

Ge Shoucheng couldn’t help but murmur.

Otherwise, once Wanxiang Sect leaves this realm, with only Longevity Sect struggling to cope, who else would care for these mortals?

…

Chen State, Linglong Ghost Market.

The Taoist in green robes and Qian Baimao stepped out of the Teleportation Array.

Qian Baimao looked around curiously and cautiously.

The cultivator guarding the Teleportation Array immediately saluted upon seeing the Taoist in green robes:

“The Ghost Market Teleportation Array guard pays his respects to the Chief Division Master… Guardian Yao is just outside the Ghost Market.”

The Taoist in green robes nodded slightly, then strode out.

Qian Baimao hastily followed, unable to resist his curiosity, he asked:
