The Great Wild God - Chapter 713
Chapter 713 Go And Stay
The vast majority of the 20,000 plus barbarian martial artists and cultivators who had crossed the sea to reinforce the Qilin Horn came from the barbarian tribes north of Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain.
When they crossed Hainan to aid the Qilin Horn, they all knew that if they were unable to gain a chance for the human race in the Qilin Horn, the fragile defenses of Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain would soon be destroyed by the demons. As for their clansmen who lived in the wilderness north of Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain, they had no time to retreat northward and could be devoured by millions of demons at any time.
The fierce victory of the Qilin Horn Battle had boosted the morale and confidence of the human race. On the one hand, it would greatly strengthen Snowdragon Mountain. On the other hand, Dishi Mountain’s defense line had also won a crucial time for the humans in the northern wilderness to move northward.
More than 20,000 barbarian martial artists and cultivators, some of them did not stay on Thundercloud Island for long, but hurriedly returned to their tribes.
Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain were still too weak. Even if they could defend it, they could only defend a very small area.
From Stillwater Continent to South Sea Immortal Palace’s territory, the northern coast of the Storm Sea stretched for millions of kilometers, and none of the immortal dao sects or empires were particularly powerful against the demons. With just Snowdragon Mountain and a small section of Dishi Mountain’s defensive line, there was no way to stop the demons from making a detour into the northern wilderness.
The humans living in the wilderness north of Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain still needed to move as far north as possible to avoid the Blood Sea Demonic Tribulation.
These barbarians and savage cultivators had all experienced the test of Qilin Horn’s blood and fire. They hastened back to the tribe at this moment, not because they were afraid of death.
Moving hundreds of millions of mortals northward was not an easy task. A large number of cultivators of high cultivation, status, and prestige were needed to return to the tribal lord. Only then would it be possible to avoid falling into uncontrollable chaos and retreat northward quickly and decisively.
Chen Xun and Emperor Xi Wu also supported the return of some Man Wu and Man Xiu to their clans and the massive northward migration of the human race. They would also relocate a portion of the mortals who lived in the hinterland of Snowdragon Mountain to the north in order to relieve the pressure on the population in the hinterland of Snowdragon Mountain.
After the demons occupied Light Island, they would definitely seize a place near Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain to maintain their offensive on the western continent of Tian Jun. At that time, the northern wilderness, more than a million kilometers deep, would become a hunting ground for the demons.
The northern wilderness was about a hundred times larger than Light Island’s, inhabiting tens of billions of humans, tribes of all sizes, or small countries, numbering in the tens of thousands.
If these tribes and small countries did not move northward on a large scale, the hundreds of millions of humans would become blood prey that the demons could plunder at will. Not only would they increase the strength of the demons that had invaded Tian Jun, they would also lure more demons into Tian Jun.
If they wanted to be strong and clean near Snowdragon Mountain, they had to push these tribes and small countries to seize this rare opportunity and move north as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, Wei Fengzi and the other ten thousand plus Man Wu and Man Xiu from the northern wilderness chose to stay in Snowdragon Mountain.
Everyone knew that the stronger the Snowdragon Mountain was, the longer it would be able to buy more time for their clansmen to move northward. They had to stay behind to strengthen the defenses of the Snowdragon Mountain, so that they could restrain the demons to the maximum extent and prevent them from going into the depths of the northern wilderness on a large scale.
Wei Fengzi had also cultivated in the Heavenly Dao Sect in his early years. He had only returned to his clan 200 years ago and was the successor to the throne of the kingdom. He was considered a fellow grandmaster brother with Dragon Capturing Child Xu Bin, Zhao Xinglong, and Lu Xiaorui.
Wei Fengzi’s small kingdom had less than ten million mortals, and it could only be considered a very inconspicuous small kingdom south of the Cloud Desolate Ridge. He arranged for some of his clansmen to return to the clan, assisted them to move northward, and passed the position of the country head directly to his direct son. He led three hundred elites to stay in Snowdragon Mountain …
In the past few days since Chen Xun returned to Snowdragon Mountain, news of his victory in the Qilin Bloody Battle had spread throughout the entire tribe. Thousands of savage martial artists and cultivators had flooded into Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain to defend their homeland.
However, Cloud Wilderness Ridge was far away from Snowdragon Mountain, and there was no news for a while.
In order to mobilize the hundreds of millions of human forces and resources in the northern wilderness, the Heavenly Dao Sect had to step forward.
***********************************
The more than 20 million mortals who had evacuated Light Island were finally sent to Moontooth City in batches to be resettled.
The Void Origin Spirit Lands had a radius of 40 kilometers, or a total of 1,600 square kilometers. Even a hundred million humans could barely fortify themselves in the Void Origin Spirit Lands.
The amount of spiritual energy consumed by mortals to maintain their vitality was extremely small, but millions or tens of millions of mortals had gathered here, and the spiritual energy required to maintain their vitality was extremely terrifying.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Qilin Horn was only two days away from the southern foot of Snowdragon Mountain, it would have been able to send more than 20 million mortals to Crescent Moon City in time for resettlement. If it had been a little longer, a large number of mortals would have died from suffocation in the Void Origin Pearl.
If one really wanted to live in the Void Origin Pearl for a long time, it would be suitable for one million people at this time. However, most people did not know that the Void Origin Spirit Land was still growing continuously …
These 20 million mortals were temporarily placed near Crescent Moon City. Following that, they would use Crescent Moon City as a transit point to evacuate to the hinterland of Snowdragon Mountain or the regions of Yunzhou and Kunzhou.
During this period, Chen Xun and Emperor Xi also temporarily stayed in Crescent Moon City.
After the last batch of mortals moved out of the Void Origin Pearl, Chen Xun and Emperor Xi Wu invited Taoist Xiaoyu and Gu Changzhou to visit Ji Chang and Jiang Shu in the monastery.
Before inviting Ji Chang to cross the sea, Emperor Xi Wu had promised to help Light Island establish itself as an emperor in Jiang Shu.
Although this goal is still far from being achieved, there are some promises that can be fulfilled in batches.
“Recovering Light Island from the demons is not a one-day feat, but there are some things that can be done early,” said Emperor Xi Wu. “Ji Zun can help Jiang Shu select 100,000 elites from the Northern Qilin Horn to form an army. However, on the northern side of Qiyun Island, the southern foot of Snowdragon Mountain has a radius of 5,000 kilometers. Some of the tribes that have joined Snowdragon Mountain will be accepted to establish a country first. After taking back Light Island in the future, they can consider moving the entire country across the sea … ”
Emperor Xi Wu had promised Jiang Shu that he could choose 20,000 elites from the Northern Retreat Barbarian Martial Arts to form a private army. At this moment, he was extremely generous. Not only did he agree that Ji Chang would help Jiang Shu select 100,000 elites, he also allowed Jiang Shu to directly establish a country at the southern foot of Snowdragon Mountain-this was mainly to retain Ji Chang.
The Snowdragon Mountain’s most basic defensive force had been greatly increased this time. It could be said that it had increased by more than seven to eight times. However, with Ji Chang’s high-end combat strength, which was extremely lethal and agile on the battlefield, Snowdragon Mountain was still too lacking.
Whether it was Chang Xi driving the Seven Dao Snake or Old Kui fighting alone, they were far from being able to compete with Ji Chang.
In the bloody battle at the Qilin Horn, Ji Chang had always been like a divine needle, leading elite warriors and savage cultivators along with Zhao Cheng’en and the others to nail down the Yue Cheng Ridge battlefield on the northeast wing, eventually restraining and killing about one-third of the mo soldiers and mo generals.
Ji Chang’s cultivation at the peak of the Middle Three Realms of Nirvana allowed him to be like a god in the Barbarian Martial Arts, winning great prestige among the Qilin Horn’s Northern Retreat Human Race. There must be a large number of Northern Retreat Barbarian Martial Arts willing to follow Ji Chang and help Jiang Shu establish a country.
“True Monarch Xiaoyu will also disband the Four Seas Alliance and set up another Qilin Sect to join the Demon Dance Alliance. If Jiang Shu is to establish a country in Light Island in the future, the Qilin Sect will also be willing to follow suit. At that time, I hope that Ji Zun will help the Qilin Sect establish a foothold in Light Island” continued Emperor Xi Wu.
Danzhou will gradually implement the policy of dividing the kingdom and rule the country. Taoist Xiaoyu will set up another Qilin Sect. According to the system of one kingdom, one sect, and one kingdom, the Qilin Sect will directly recruit disciples from Ji Chang. Jiang Shu will establish a country north of Qiyun Island and south of Xuelong Shandong. Many disciples will successfully cultivate and return to their clans and tribes. They will also serve Ji Chang and Jiang Shu …
Of course, both will also prepare for a return to Light Island.
The fact that the Qilin Sect had withdrawn only a thousand disciples from Light Island could be said to be a serious injury to their Yuan Qi, but their foundation was still there. Especially the thousand disciples who had withdrawn from Light Island had exceptionally strong Dao hearts. With Ji Chang’s help, they would be able to establish a more perfect Dao Martial Inheritance.
With this, Jiang Shu could truly obtain the foundation to establish his country.
Jiang Shu’s thoughts were chaotic. He only came out this time to gather some beautiful women and show off when he returned to Stillwater Continent, even if he thought that such an earth-shattering change would happen?
The Stillwater Continent had fallen, and the Patriarch had fallen. His great backer, who had used to travel the Western Continent, had collapsed like this. He had not even recovered his senses in the past twenty days.
Suddenly, Emperor Xi Wu, Chen Xun, and the others came to help him establish his country and dynasty, allowing him to choose a hundred thousand Iron Blood Barbarian Martial Artists to form an elite army. There were even True Monarchs like Taoist Xiaoyu who joined him, wanting to recruit disciples and impart Dao Martial Arts to his territory-he didn’t know why for a moment.
Yesterday, he was still eating and waiting to die, but today, he can rule the world?
Jiang Shu really wanted to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming.
“Ji shi, what do you think?” Jiang Shu’s attitude towards Ji Chang was much more respectful. He also knew that Ji Chang was his greatest and final reliance. No matter how elated he was, he knew that Ji Chang had to help him decide this matter.
“It’s time for you to make your own decision,” Ji Chang said calmly. “But you should also know that if you accept the loyalty of a hundred thousand barbarian martial artists now, and one day you are afraid of dying and abandoning them, I will be the first to kill you.”
Jiang Shu was so frightened that cold sweat oozed out. Only then did he know that the matter of establishing the country as emperor was not a joke. He carefully looked at Chen Xun and asked, “Are you confident that Snowdragon Mountain can defend it?”
“The news of the Qilin Horn victory hasn’t spread yet, but one thing is certain.” Chen Xun thought to himself that he couldn’t frighten Jiang Shu at this moment. He comforted him confidently, “As long as there is a chance to defend the Snow Dragon Mountain, the Heavenly Dao Sect, South Sea Immortal Palace, and other Immortal Dao Sects will never voluntarily abandon the Snow Dragon Mountain. I believe that it won’t be long before the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect and South Sea Immortal Palace will continuously reinforce Snowdragon Mountain and Dishi Mountain. “Although we look down on life and death, we can’t bet all our chips on the Snowdragon Mountain if we don’t have a great chance of winning …”
Jiang Shu thought about it. Chen Xun, if Jiang Xiwu hadn’t had a great chance of winning, he would have been able to bring all the soldiers of Danzhou back to Cloud Continent and tear down the spatial passageway to observe the situation if he didn’t have a Dao Artifact level cave treasure in his hand.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll live and die with you and advance and retreat together.” Jiang Shu said boldly.
“That’s good. I will draw a 5,000 mile radius south of Snowdragon Mountain from Wu Jiang to Cabbage River. I will establish Yongming Prefecture and confer the title of hereditary ruler on you and your descendants. All the tribes and mortals who move into this region will forever be ruled by Yongming Prefecture. All the sects and clans that move into this region will forever be controlled by Yongming Prefecture.”
Martial Emperor Xi had prepared all the necessary resources to help him establish his country and become a monarch, including the title of Credentials, the Imperial Seal, and the rituals that a complete set of monarchs should possess.
Daoist Xiaoyu and Gu Changzhou will stay on Thundercloud Island with Ji Chang. They will select 100,000 barbarian martial artists to form the Yongming Armor Guard. Three hundred disciples of the Qilin Sect will follow Jiang Shu east to build a city on the east bank of the Wujiang River to accommodate the Wildlands clansmen who belong to the Yongming Commandery.
At that time, Gu Changzhou would be the commander of the armor guard of the Yongming army and be responsible for defending the Yongming section of the southern foot of Snowdragon Mountain. He would choose capable people from the Qilin Sect to preside over state affairs and government affairs. Meanwhile, Daoist Xiaoyu would lead some of his disciples to Danzhou City with Emperor Xi Wu to strengthen the defenses of the hinterland and the east and west flanks of Snowdragon Mountain, while Ji Chang and Chen Xun would head to Thundercloud Island.
True Monarch Snowdragon Mountain’s high-end combat strength was still too low, so he naturally had to concentrate on one place to use it.
