Chapter 1258 - 615: Teaming Up
Chen Xuantian drove the carriage north along Chidao, with Kuang Dao standing on the roof of the carriage, embracing his sword and wearing a terrifyingly cool, arrogant expression that screamed "approach at your own risk," as though suffering from a case of adolescent angst.
But believe it or not, this stance seemed to have some effect. After all, ordinary demons could sense his Blood Qi from afar and would avoid him. However, there were always some clueless bandits springing out to block the way. Once they saw his intimidating demeanor, they’d become dumbstruck, voluntarily clearing the path and saluting as they passed by like obedient roadside dogs.
Inside the carriage, there was the sound of women laughing and chatting away. One must say, the Holy Daughter is truly impressive, able to speak human words to humans and ghost words to ghosts. Not only does she recruit Mystic Sect Disciples with ease, but she can also find common ground with fools, displaying commendable social skills.
Besides the laughter, the carriage was filled with waves of heat, comparable to a scorching oven, except the fragrance inside was unmistakably the famous and highly effective Divine Fragrance Holy Fire Pill described in the Heavenly Book. It can heal wounds, cure diseases, reconnect muscles and bones, regenerate skin and marrow, and enable rebirth from blood. Chen Xuantian almost thought they were preparing a stew with the blind E’er.
Indeed, the Divine Fragrance Holy Fire Pill is not only the first among the Divine Sect but also deemed top-tier across the Three Great Sects. Even Chen Xuantian, no, even Lingxu, had only heard of it and never seen the real thing. There is no Elixir Prescription for it in the database; it’s only known from the Heavenly Book and rumors.
It is said to be a unique Secret Technique by the Divine Sect Saintess, primarily involving heating the Magic Medicine with Holy Fire to steam out the Elixir Liquid for spa treatment. This enhances blood circulation, accelerates medicine release, facilitates Dao Body recovery, reshapes the Divine Soul, and has excellent therapeutic effects.
Huh, the Holy Daughter really is good. Others might have taken advantage of your sickness long ago, but she not only borrows the sword but also actively joins the team to save the world, offering top-notch healing solutions right away to cure diseases, save lives, and manage various problem children.
No wonder after the Divine Lord’s Ascension, the Dharma Kings and Supremes of the Divine Sect often fought over positions and had conflicts, but to this day, none of them have caused a split with a new Divine Sect, all choosing to rally around the Holy Daughter...
Finding himself unable to contribute much, Chen Xuantian naturally focused on driving the carriage and flattering,
"Don’t eat too much meat. Although delicious, your stomach isn’t well, and overeating causes indigestion, resulting in constant flatulence, which has apparently chased Kuang Dao onto the roof. Chew on some oats occasionally for better digestion."
The horse expressed gratitude to the doctor.
The team continued smoothly and safely crossed the territory, traveling dozens of miles. Suddenly, Kuang Dao leapt down from the roof,
"Avoid ahead, there’s Yellow Heaven followers."
"Yellow Heaven!?"
Chen Xuantian was startled,
"Even you fear Yellow Heaven?"
Kuang Dao raised his head,
"Er Ri Ni Ma..."
The carriage got annoyed,
"Wipe your mouth!"
Kuang Dao wiped his mouth with his sleeve,
"There are too many Yellow Heaven followers, afraid of disturbing the Holy Daughter."
Well then, considering the surgery was still going on in the ambulance, they decided to avoid them.
So the carriage took a detour, although it was hard to avoid completely due to the sheer number of Yellow Heaven followers.
It’s said thousands make no boundary, tens of thousands touch the sky.
This band of Yellow Heaven Group was tens of thousands strong, lining up along the Liang River, seemingly everywhere, a vast yellow sea. They wore headscarves or yellow clothes, also perplexing is where they got so much yellow fabric.
Chen Xuantian frowned, "Why so many people?"
Kuang Dao, "Yellow Heaven Sect distributed rice."
Oh, understood now.
The sky may be vast but not as vast as the appetite; regardless of being Heavenly King or the rebel army, nowadays as long as you offer rice, people will follow.
Chen Xuantian curiously watched these people and found organized militia with spears and pitchforks patrolling, driving away surrounding beasts.
"Does the Heavenly King just watch him distribute?"
Kuang Dao swung his hair and said coldly,
"Such refugees are many now. Regardless of being mountain bandits or gangs, whether they believe Yellow Heaven or Black Heaven, people don’t care. In Tenglong Palace, all Evil Demons and Heretics can be utilized. As long as they pay enough Tribute monthly, don’t attack the military camp or cut the supply route, local military leaders aren’t bothered with such matters."
Indeed, since the rapid collapse of the Immortal Palace followed by a lack of corporate support, or even opposing support, within a few years they drifted to the south. With rebels having limited numbers, enormous power vacuums appeared locally, allowing numerous forces to rise and vie for power, with warlords, tycoons, demon tribes, evil cults, and outlaws all emerging to claim territories.
Hence, the Heavenly King Army in the city sees the Yellow Heaven followers outside as insignificant, given these civilians lack arms and armor and can be scattered by a few thousand Iron Cavalry. Compared to Taiji Realm’s chaotic things, they aren’t considered a major threat.
Moreover, even if they are driven into the mountains, worse alternatives might appear that are fiercer and more troublesome. It’s better to let them roam as a strategic buffer; occasionally if a demon wants a feast or an Evil Cultivator needs Magic Artifacts, they can just come over and capture a few.
Chen Xuantian pondered,
"In these chaotic times, it’s an ideal opportunity for rising, I suppose your sect is seizing the chance to develop power and spread influence?"
