Chapter 16: War Begins | Wan Zu Zhi Jie [Trans]

South Yuan City.

The people were unaware of the events occurring far away in Great Xia Prefecture.

Outside the academy, atop a tall building.

The woman was absent. A middle-aged man and an elderly man with graying hair stood together, gazing at South Yuan Middle Academy.

“Elder Chen, I didn’t expect it would be you coming this time…”

The middle-aged man spoke with a fawning smile.

“Mm.”

The old man didn’t say much, looking down below, slightly furrowing his brows. After a long while, he finally said, “Wuhen, do you think there’s a trap?”

“A trap?”

The man paused for a moment, then slowly said, “I’m not sure, but South Yuan currently only has two Ascending Realm experts. I can confirm that the city guard’s centurion hasn’t broken through to the Ascending Realm.”

“Is that so?”

The old man didn’t comment, but his brow remained furrowed.

This mission made him uneasy.

Firstly, the commotion was too large.

Secondly, South Yuan was prepared. In the past, under such circumstances, the mission would have been canceled.

But this time, it wasn’t.

The higher-ups’ instruction was to proceed!

As for Great Xia Prefecture, there were no reinforcements. This was the answer given by the higher-ups, very certain and assured that no reinforcements would come from Great Xia Prefecture.

And thirdly, they weren’t familiar with Great Xia Prefecture.

The Ten Thousand Races Sect’s main area of activity wasn’t Great Xia Prefecture. Although they had some presence here, their understanding of Great Xia Prefecture wasn’t deep enough. Launching a plan so rashly was somewhat risky.

Given the personality of that group of people, deploying Ascending Realm experts, even multiple ones, would definitely involve extensive preparation beforehand.

“Wuhen, you’ve been in South Yuan for many years. Does South Yuan have any Myriad Stone experts who can fight beyond their level?”

“Probably not?”

The middle-aged man said, “I haven’t heard of any. If there were any, they would have gone to the Battlefield of the Heavens or Great Xia Prefecture. No one would stay in South Yuan. In the Thousand Pound Realm, there’s Su Long from the Demon Suppression Army who could fight Myriad Stone experts, but that was only at the Myriad Stone level.”

“Su Long?”

“An old soldier from the Demon Suppression Army. He’s already gone to the Battlefield of the Heavens.”

“Oh, the Demon Suppression Army… The soldiers Xia Longwu led back then have made a name for themselves on the Battlefield of the Heavens in recent years, rising from a second-tier army to a first-tier army. There are many strong people.”

The old man was also familiar with the front lines. After thinking for a moment, he added, “Are there many veterans from the front-line armies retired in the city?”

“Not too many, and they’re all old. Not many are in their prime, no more than 300, spread throughout South Yuan.”

“These people must also be guarded against!” The old man said solemnly, “These veterans who have been to the Battlefield of the Heavens and retired alive are all licking blood off their blades. Tell the people below to be careful and pay attention.”

“Understood!”

The old man looked at the sky and didn’t say anything more.

After a while, a gleam of fire appeared outside the city. Within the city, a hundred-man city guard squad quickly rushed outside the city.

The middle-aged man happily said, “Another hundred-man squad has left! The city guard has less than five hundred people left!”

The old man still frowned, “Be careful!”

Knowing it was a diversion, South Yuan still sent a large number of city guards to the outside of the city to eliminate the Ten Thousand Races Sect’s people. Was it confidence, or… were they really forced to?

“Less than half of the city guards remain, more than 300 are guarding the City Lord’s mansion, and the rest are almost all gathered near South Yuan Academy. The streets are filled with Wind Catching Hall people…”

The old man looked around, judging the situation. Near South Yuan Academy, there were about 200 city guards, less than 100 Wind Catching Hall people, 260 instructors plus academy guards, and the Dragon Martial Guards hadn’t left. Adding them together, there were less than 600 Thousand Pound Realm experts or higher.

As for the students, they were ignored.

There couldn’t possibly be any Thousand Pound Realm students.

Among them, there were two Ascending Realm experts, Myriad Stone experts plus Dragon Martial Guards, less than 15 people, and the rest were all Thousand Pound Realm experts.

In fact, there was only one Ascending Realm expert. City Lord Wu Wenhai was still in the City Lord’s mansion, and it would take time for him to arrive. The old man still counted him in, as it wasn’t too far away.

“Is everyone ready?”

“Ready!”

The man hurriedly said, “The Master has gone to meet them. They’re all elites, a full 30 Myriad Stone Realm experts, and the rest are all high-level Thousand Pound Realm experts, 300 people! Those below the high-level Thousand Pound Realm are creating chaos outside the city.”

300 elites above the seventh level of the Thousand Pound Realm, 30 Myriad Stone Realm experts!

The old man judged that today, operations were launched in 6 cities, and the manpower in other places was even greater than this.

That meant that over 2000 cultivators above the seventh level of the Thousand Pound Realm, and over 200 Myriad Stone Realm experts had been dispatched, and probably over 20 Ascending Realm experts!

Such a force was enough to form a ten-thousand-man army.

“They’re moving out in full force… The Heavenly Arrow God Sect is throwing out all its accumulated resources!”

The old man felt uneasy and somewhat frightened.

There were many sects within the Ten Thousand Races Sect, and the Heavenly Arrow God Sect was one of the stronger ones, after all, they had pledged allegiance to one of the God race branches.

But even so, investing so much power at once, plus the force to block the reinforcements from Great Xia Prefecture, was almost all of the Heavenly Arrow God Sect’s power.

To throw everything out at once, weren’t they afraid of the Heavenly Arrow God Sect being completely finished?

Those creating killings on the periphery were all cannon fodder sects, dying was fine, but this time they were deploying true elite disciples, the two were still different.

“The mission’s merit points are very high. Just to slaughter these students, it doesn’t seem worth going to such great lengths. What are the higher-ups thinking?”

The old man frowned, feeling that the losses outweighed the gains.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t reach that level.

“Forget it, I can only hope that everything goes smoothly, and then retreat quickly, concealing our tracks.”

It would take a little time for more than 300 sect members to gather. In a small city like South Yuan, gathering more than 300 people required gradual accumulation. This wasn’t Great Xia Prefecture, where hundreds of people could be brought in directly without anyone caring.

“Take action in half an hour. Notify everyone to end the battle within 3 minutes. After 5 minutes, everyone must retreat, scattering and fleeing after leaving the city. Do you understand?”

“Yes!”

The man hurriedly replied and quickly disappeared to inform everyone.

After the man left, the old man looked at South Yuan Middle Academy again and murmured, “Great Xia Prefecture… can’t even spare a few Ascending Realm experts?”
“A-Yu!”

Chen Hao and Su Yu were squatting at the entrance of the cafeteria, looking around. Chen Hao whispered, “What are we doing here? The instructor was just calling for us to gather by class for a meeting at the academy after school. Aren’t we going?”

“Not going.”

Su Yu held a knife in his hand and said softly, “It’s safer with fewer people. More people… it’s a bit dangerous.”

“Huh?”

Chen Hao was puzzled. Su Yu whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense. Something might happen today. People from the Myriad Clans Sect might come! We’ll just stay here. There are fewer people here…”

“No, A-Yu, you said… people from the Myriad Clans Sect are coming? Then we need to quickly join up with the instructors. We’re just at the Opening Yuan realm, not Myriad Stone…”

Chen Hao became anxious.

He wasn’t exactly terrified.

The academy had done drills. If they encountered people from the Myriad Clans Sect, they’d be sent to the Battlefield of the Heavens. These situations had been explained in drills.

At this time, they should join up with the instructors.

The instructors would protect them.

“There are too few instructors. Most of them will have to fight. Only a small number will be left to protect the students. A class will have at most three to five instructors protecting the students, and there are so many people in a class. If we really encounter danger, they won’t be able to protect everyone…”

Su Yu whispered, “Protecting two fewer people will reduce the pressure.”

“But… what if we encounter them… A-Yu… let’s go back!”

Chen Hao was really anxious.

Su Yu smiled, “Don’t worry. Two stray students at the Opening Yuan realm, the strong won’t even bother looking at us.”

“But even if we encounter someone at the Myriad Stone realm, people will die…”

“So, we try to hide well. If we really encounter the enemy…”

Su Yu looked up at Chen Hao, “Do you trust me?”

“I do.”

“If we really encounter them, you start cursing, cursing them madly, so they’ll go kill you first. We won’t stand together, one to the left and one to the right. If they go to kill you, they definitely won’t be guarding against a small student like me…”

Chen Hao was bewildered. You’re so cruel!

You want to die after me, so cruel!

“I’ll go kill them!”

“…”

Chen Hao’s face fell. What a joke, you’re just at the third level of Opening Yuan, it’s hard to even break their defenses, and you’re going to kill someone? You’re crazy!

“If you trust me, that’s what you do! We can’t go to the academy head’s side right now, going there will just add to the chaos. We can’t go to the class either, going there will also add to the chaos. We’re too weak, we’re just targets right now…”

“But the other classmates are also targets. How about we call them to hide together…”

“Idiot, how can so many people hide? If they run around randomly, they’ll really die. We still have a chance.”

Su Yu wasn’t too scared. His father had talked a lot about killing members of the Myriad Clans, and the ultimate goal of the academy was to teach them to kill the people of the Myriad Clans. There was nothing to be afraid of.

He was just a little nervous. It was the first time he was truly encountering the enemy, and he was afraid his legs would go weak with fear.

Once Chen Hao really started cursing, and the opponent went to kill him, what if his legs went weak?

Also, what if they encountered two people?

What about three people?

“It’s okay, the strong will definitely deal with the strong. Searching for scattered students at the academy, only the weak would do that. Because the students are too weak, without the Myriad Stone realm, there’s no need for them to search in groups.”

“What one person can do, there’s no reason for three or five people to do.”

“The academy isn’t small. If they really come in groups, they’d need to infiltrate thousands of people, and I don’t believe they can infiltrate thousands of people. Then Nanyuan is too stupid.”

“Moreover, if there are really that many people, it’s still a dead end even if we stay with the teachers. That kind of situation shouldn’t happen.”

Su Yu judged in his heart, dragging Chen Hao into the cafeteria, found a corner, and whispered, “You hide here, trembling, squatting. If it’s just one person, make some noise yourself. If it’s two people… then run! Run for your life!”

There was a small door here that they could run out of. Chen Hao nodded quickly, “What about you?”

Su Yu pointed to a small corner next to him, “I’ll hide there. Don’t look this way, or you’ll kill me, understand?”

“Got it!”

Chen Hao nodded immediately, then said with a mournful face, “A-Yu, how about… we go find my dad?”

“Nonsense, going out alone at this time is courting death!”

Su Yu scolded in a low voice, “I don’t know the specific arrangements, but your dad and the others probably have missions too. Don’t think about useless things. Pray that my legs don’t go weak later, otherwise, you’re done for!”

“A-Yu, are you going to kill someone?”

Chen Hao said with a bitter face, “You can’t do it, can you? How about I hide and ambush them?”

“You?”

Too lazy to pay attention to him, Su Yu took a deep breath, “It’s hard for you to even break their defenses, watch me! Besides, according to the rules, if you can really kill someone from the Myriad Clans Sect, someone who can prove their identity, Haozi, you have a chance to get into the War Academy!”

As soon as he said this, Chen Hao’s eyes lit up instantly!

He was a little scared just now, and he had forgotten about it.

That’s right, the academy has rules. If you really kill someone from the Myriad Clans Sect, someone who can prove their identity, you can get extra points.

Of course, this rule hasn’t been used for many years, because the students are all at the Opening Yuan realm, how can they kill someone from the Myriad Clans Sect?

It’s hard to kill them even with poison.

Of course, some geniuses have done it before, but do geniuses even care about extra points?

“A-Yu… could it be… you’re doing this for me…”

Chen Hao was so touched!

A-Yu was risking his life to get him into the War Academy. He was so touched, so touched that he was almost crying.

Su Yu rolled his eyes, what are you thinking?

I just think it’s really safer for the two of us to hide here. Right now, it’s more of a target in the crowd. Of course, if we really kill the opponent, then we’ll talk about it later.

Su Yu wasn’t sure if he would dare to say that he killed them. How could someone at the Opening Yuan realm kill someone?

“But if the opportunity is right, it’s not impossible to kill one and create a scene to let Haozi get extra points and get into the War Academy.”

It’s almost impossible for an Opening Yuan to kill a Myriad Stone, almost, which means it’s possible.

A Myriad Stone isn’t invincible. If someone is careless and gets their neck cut off with a knife, they will die.
As for why the Ten Thousand Clan Sect’s Ten Thousand Catties is so stupid… go ask the dead, Su Yu doesn’t know.

“Then it’s best not to use tearing skills, kill him with a knife!”

Su Yu gripped the knife in his hand. When the time comes, with strength filling both hands, he’ll kill the opponent with one strike. As long as the opponent doesn’t run, there’s a good chance.

Will Ten Thousand Catties run if he encounters an Open Origin ambush?

Most likely not!

Just as he was thinking, a violent roar suddenly came from outside: “Students gather! Those who don’t gather, hide in place!”

“The enemy is attacking! The beasts of the Ten Thousand Clan Sect are here!”

“Don’t panic, listen to the instructors’ orders, form a locked circle to protect yourselves!”

“Close the room doors, all instructors, meet the enemy!”

“Guard team, assemble!”

“City Guard Army, Wind Chasing Hall, charge!”

“Kill!”

A burst of angry shouts, and in an instant, the entire Nanyuan Academy was in motion.

At this moment, Su Yu wasn’t afraid, he was a little nervous and also felt a surge of excitement. He wasn’t afraid because he believed that the teachers could win. He had an irresistible urge to go out and see how the teachers were fighting the enemy.

When his father was at home, he often told him about glorious times, when legions of ten thousand, even one hundred thousand soldiers, charged to kill the enemy, leaving corpses strewn across the fields, rivers of blood flowing, and the heavens trembling!

On the battlefield of the heavens, the human race’s blades pointed, and they were invincible!

“I really want… to go and see!”

Su Yu was a little impulsive. Chen Hao was even more impulsive than him, gripping his knife tightly, wanting to rush out, but he quickly suppressed the thought, afraid of killing Su Yu.

“Kill!”

A close-quarters fight erupted, and the sound of clashing weapons instantly echoed throughout the academy.

Apart from “kill,” there was almost no other sound. In times of war, nothing else is needed, only obedience.

…………

Outside the teaching building of Nanyuan Academy.

Hundreds of people on both sides engaged in slaughter the moment they made contact, without any verbal exchanges.

The Dragon Martial Guard’s ten-man squad, led by Shen Changxia, instantly surrounded the old man in the fourth level of Soaring.

Xia Bing, at the second level of Soaring, wearing golden helmet and holding a long saber, showed no fear. A muffled shout came out: “Form the formation, kill!”

The ten people quickly surrounded the old man, and ten long sabers cut through the air. The battle began!

Wu Wenhai, the city lord who was originally stationed in the city lord’s mansion, soared into the sky from the top of the building in the next moment, also wielding a long saber, and instantly attacked the woman.

“Wu Wenhai, you’ve come to your death!”

The woman shouted sharply. Wu Wenhai was really here, fortunately they had expected it before.

The middle-aged man, called No Trace, seeing that the two Soaring experts were entangled and even the Dragon Martial Guards were pinned down, was overjoyed. He ignored everyone else and rushed straight towards Liu Wenyan in the distance.

“Your opponent is me!”

“And me!”

Instantly, two men rushed out.

One wielded a saber, and the other a sword.

“Zhang Yun, Zeng Hua!”

The middle-aged man shouted the names of the two, and snorted coldly. He knew the opponents, the city guard’s centurion and the Wind Chasing Hall’s hall master, both at the ninth level of Ten Thousand Stones.

However, how could they be a match for the Soaring Realm!

“Kill!”

The two didn’t waste any words at all. There was no point in communicating with the beasts of the Ten Thousand Clan Sect, kill them first!

“Bang!”

A crisp sound of weapons clashing rang out. In the next moment, No Trace soared into the sky, bypassed the two, and headed straight for Liu Wenyan in the back. There were still many Thousand Catties Realm instructors there.

Today’s goal wasn’t to kill the city lord, not to kill the Soaring, and not even to kill these two high-ranking officials of Nanyuan.

It was the geniuses of the academy, the flame of civilization like Liu Wenyan.

They were the valuable ones!

In front of Liu Wenyan, several Thousand Catties Realm instructors raised their sabers and were about to charge out. Two ninth level Ten Thousand Stones Realm experts in the rear reacted quickly, broke through the air and chased after him. Zhang Yun catapulted out, slashing his saber at the Soaring No Trace.

“Over our dead bodies!”

With a violent roar, the two once again surrounded No Trace.

“Courting death!”

The two ninth level Ten Thousand Stones experts fought desperately, and No Trace was only at the second level of Soaring. His Soaring height wasn’t enough, so he had to land instantly and fight the two.

Otherwise, in the air, he would easily become a target.

…………

“Instructor Liu, you go first…”

The several Thousand Catties Realm guarding Liu Wenyan hurriedly pulled the old man away, but Liu Wenyan didn’t move. He looked around, seeing slaughter everywhere, and couldn’t help but scold: “They think highly enough of Nanyuan. Those bastards in the Great Xia Mansion must know that there are quite a few Soaring experts, and they must be supporting other cities, but they didn’t support us!”

The crowd was puzzled, but there was no time to ask.

Liu Wenyan continued to scold, “They believe so much that I can succeed? What if I don’t succeed? They’re playing with people’s lives! Don’t let me know who gave the order, or I’ll kill him!”

Some people in the Great Xia Mansion believed that he could manifest his will today. The key was… what if he didn’t succeed?

Liu Wenyan babbled, muttered, and cursed, losing his scholarly elegance.

“I’m the most useless, how can I be sure to succeed? They believe me too much, I’m just a waste, don’t they know, otherwise how could I have been expelled…”

Liu Wenyan mumbled, feeling a little sad.

If I wasn’t such a waste, how could I have failed to manifest my will at such an old age? I want to too, but… it’s really too difficult.

“You guys are too cruel, forcing me with the lives of the academy…”

“I knew it, you guys have no humanity. If I really manifest my will, I’ll be the first to take revenge on you…”

Liu Wenyan continued to mumble. At this moment, golden light appeared above his head, his body trembled, and his feet gradually began to lift off the ground.

The expressions of the people around him changed slightly. In the distance, the mansion lord who was fighting with someone showed a smile, “Old fellow, you really can’t succeed without being forced. From today onwards… there’s one more Soaring expert!”

“Ten Thousand Stones Realm experts, stop chasing and killing, come quickly!”

No Trace shouted violently. He saw it, his expression changed, and he shouted angrily: “Come quickly, kill these two bastards!”

As soon as he finished speaking, several Ten Thousand Stones Realm experts broke through the air and arrived.

No Trace also instantly broke away from the two and charged towards Liu Wenyan. He couldn’t let this old fellow manifest his will and step into the Soaring Realm, otherwise even if he killed some students today, the completion of the mission would be greatly reduced.
