Chapter 3544: Chihu's Shadowy Appearance

ity cannot be seen by others, and it is unavoidable to hide it from the seniors.” Lu Xiaoteng shook his head and smiled, regardless of whether the other party was probing. As for this kind of old mons...At this time, some of the other Xuanxian-level sword immortals guarding near Zhenshanjian cast envious glances at the lotus clone, even with a hint of disdain in their eyes. They were all Xuanxian, yet before, the lotus clone was unknown, from humble beginnings, not from a famous immortal sect or a noble family within the Heavenly Court. To be so favored by Chuyangzi and Guan Yuehe was simply beyond comprehension.

On the contrary, these celestial beings were outshined by the opponent's unintentional radiance under the Mountain-Conquering Sword.

In a nutshell, various emotions surfaced among the celestial cultivators upon discovering the lotus blossom's existence. Some desired friendship, others felt envy or jealousy, while some even harbored resentment. In contrast, those who accompanied the lotus blossom's clone, such as Xiao Yu and his companions, though unable to reach the vicinity of the mountain-guarding sword, were able to more directly perceive the transformative impact brought about by the enhanced strength of the lotus blossom clone upon their group.

Originally, these people from the lower immortal realms weren't highly regarded among the numerous armies of immortals. They were often ostracized, and even during the battles against Tian Sang Huang Yu, they were frequently assigned to dangerous positions that lured enemies in. While they fought relentlessly, due to their status and position, they usually didn't receive much respect.

But now, Xiao Yu and his men can intuitively feel their status rising. Even the supplies delivered by the celestial armies above are much more abundant than before.

Xiao Yu's immortal army guarded the vicinity of the Zhanshan Sword, mostly uneventful. However, at this moment, with the Chihu clan activating their ancient signal fire tower and releasing black smoke clouds, the area within tens of thousands of miles transformed into a dark nightmare. This boundless darkness was rapidly spreading even further.

The celestial army led by Xiao Yu was also within this black area. Hearing the occasional tiger roars and sounds of fighting around them, a strange sense of tension gripped their hearts. This time, the methods used by the Chihu tribe were different from the past. With such a grand display of force, it was clear they weren't just playing around. News of continuous defeats from the front line reached Xiao Yu. He secretly speculated that the Chihu tribe's intentions this time were aggressive, and it would likely be a brutal battle.

“Order the troops to form battle formations and prepare for defense against a possible attack from the Chihu tribe!” Xiao Yu commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Du Liqing, Feng Wushan, Shi Xiu, Wan Jin, Zhou Feng and others roared in agreement. As avatars of the Lotus they had no sense of belonging to the Heavenly Court from the beginning. They were initially forcefully conscripted by the Heavenly Court to the bloody mill known as the Phantom Mist Bog. Later, while with the Lotus avatar in the Mu Kun Immortal Domain, they did enjoy a few good days. But the good times didn't last long, they were immediately sent to this war against the Tian Sang barren land. They were at the bottom during their time in the Phantom Mist Bog, but after joining the Mu Kun Immortal Domain and being sent to the Tian Sang barren land, they were still oppressed at the bottom.

Even though Li Lianhua's avatar had gained in strength and status, people like Du Liqing and Feng Wushan knew that these gains weren't due to their own efforts. Besides Li Lianhua and a handful of others, such as Xiao Yu, no one in the entire Immortal Army cared about their lives or deaths. A ragtag squad of several thousand with heavy casualties wouldn't have any impact on the current battle situation.

But once danger arises, if they cannot cope themselves, besides the Lotus Avatar, no one else will be so wholeheartedly willing to help them. The Lotus Avatar is responsible for guarding the Town Mountain Sword, and the situation they face probably won't be much better than theirs. If things really get chaotic, the Lotus Avatar may not be able to attend to this side in time. At the critical moment, their immortal army still has to do its best to protect themselves and not add trouble to the Lotus Avatar.

In the distant void, black smoke billowed as the Chihu tribe and the celestial armies engaged in fierce combat. The clash of weapons sounded like a surging tide. Xiao Yu, leading Du Liqing, Feng Wushan, Zhou Feng, and thousands of hastily assembled celestial soldiers, defended with all their might, fearing that the Chihu warriors would suddenly charge.

And at this time, under the shroud of black smoke, a serene tiger figure was slowly approaching from Xiao Yu's side towards the Zhen Shan Sword.

This tiger's eyes are cold and emotionless, devoid of any trace of chaos. It seems that the carnage unfolding in this airspace holds no significance for it whatsoever.

This faint tiger shadow drifted lightly towards the Zhenshan sword, with no intention of harming Xiao Yu's celestial army.

And these people like Xiao Yu did not notice the tiger's presence at all.

“Chihu Meiying!” At this moment, a middle-aged man with a sallow complexion stationed near Zhanshan Sword seemed to have cultivated some divine ability, discovering the faint tiger shadow in advance. He exclaimed directly.

"Anonymous friend, are you having any trouble looking after the Town-Suppressing Sword" Guan Yuehe communicated with her Lotus Avatar through divine sense.

“As a junior, I can handle the issues with Zhenshan Sword for now. However, my followers are the only ones in the Heavenly Court who are familiar with this situation. If things escalate later, I hope the two seniors will show some leniency.” The lotus avatar said. At this moment, his divine sense, through the radiation of sword intent, also detected the faint presence of Chihu's phantom.

"Alright, we will take good care of your subordinates." Chu Yangzi and Guan Yuehe looked at each other before speaking.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The lotus avatar has already taken over the position of the sunzi, helping to adjust the sword intent of Zhanshan Sword. As long as the golden immortals on one side of Tiansang wasteland do not intervene, it will not be necessary to fully use the Zhanshan Seven Swords for the time being. After all, each activation comes at a cost, especially with some swords being damaged.

Right now, the Chihu Tribe clearly intends to take advantage of the opportunity that the Seven Great Town Swords are partially damaged to further strike at them. Perhaps there are other unforeseen circumstances as well. At this time, even Guan Yuehe and Chuyangzi are still unclear about what exactly happened in Tiansang Wasteland.

What remains unknown is that the Heavenly Court's plan has completely failed, and the desolate Tian Sang Plain is planning to take advantage of the Heavenly Court's defeat to launch a counteroffensive. In the last debacle, the Heavenly Court had lost a large number of immortal armies. Although relying on the Heavenly Court's deep roots, strong foundation, and reinforcements from even farther fairy domains, as well as substantial support from the East Sea Dragon Palace,

If this defeat happens again, it will be difficult to amass a similar-sized celestial army for retaliation in the next few years. After all, with Tian Sang Wasteland as the core, almost all celestial armies from nearby upper, middle, and lower realms have been mobilized. The resources consumed would be incalculable, a considerable burden even for the vast Hong Hao Heavenly Court. To mobilize celestial armies from further afield would not only be a long-distance campaign but also consume several times more resources than before.

However, even though Guanyuehe is a celestial being of the first rank, she is still able to learn about the unfavorable development of the heavenly court's battle from other sources.

Chuyangzi and Guan Yuehe needed the lotus incarnation to exert great strength, and even coordinating other Xuanxian-level sword immortals naturally required them to pacify the lotus incarnation, relieving some of its concerns.nawareness in the face of danger always gave people a strange sense of confidence.As everyone watched in astonishment, the giant palm formed by the phantom behind Lu Xia Tian pressed down on Yin Hu's...
