The Alliance Between a Sect and a Kingdom [C107]

Morning, in the Remir Kingdom's encampment.

"Haha, it will be an easy conquest, based on our the info we gained from our spies, the Shu Kingdom does not even have a single Nascent Soul realm expert!" The one who just talked was holding a glass of beer, seemingly having a feast.

"Indeed, but remember to fight seriously, do not underestimate them... it may get you killed." A man warned strictly, already from this conversation it was clear they had different personalities.

"Ahh, shut up, you guys from the Arasura sect are really annoying…"

"Hmph, and you from the Remir Kingdom are too naive. Remember our pact, at the end of everything we will hold the Shu Kingdom, while you guys can have the other Kingdoms."

"Again? You said the same phrase at least a hundred times, why are you so interested in the Shu Kingdom anyway?"

"That's nothing you should care about, Du Hong."

Even if displeased by his attitude, Du Hong did not react and simply said, "Whatever... do what you want, Xun Long."

Xun Long then stood up and went into a tent, he was quite annoyed by the Remir Kingdom's naive attitude, acting superior toward all the other Kingdoms.

"Elder Xun, are you sure that the Shu Kingdom has something worth of mobilizing over a thousand Dantian Core Formation disciples?" This voice came from inside the tent, from a disciple at the 9th string.

With a grim expression, Xun Long replied, "Do you really think that our Arasura sect would lose time with something useless? I believe that in the Shu Kingdom there is hidden the key to know the truth of this world… five years ago we tried to not stand out and take the Kingdom while staying hidden and failed, but this time it will be different!"

"The truth of this world? What does elder mean with that?" The disciple was stunned, why would the mere Shu Kingdom have something like that?

"The truth of the world… for example, what is the Death Valley? And what there is beyond it? What could be strong enough to stop even Longevity Realm experts from going there?"

Looking toward the Disciple, he then smiled, "I guess you are thinking why something like that would be in the Shu Kingdom? Time ago, when I passed through the Capital of the Shu Kingdom with the sect leader, he was suddenly shocked by something, and we quickly left from the Kingdom immediately afterward."

Reminiscing about the day, he then frowned, "The headmaster then said, beware of those walls, they are hiding some type of secret. A dangerous secret that is not of our world."

Feeling a shiver going through his body, the disciple felt that the Elder was not joking.

"While I do not know exactly what there is inside of those walls, I believe that there is at least a hint about what there is after the Death Valley… and I want to find that hint." With a grim expression, the Elder then seated on a chair, waiting the time required until the army was ready to depart toward the Shu Kingdom.

-----

Thirty minutes later.

"Fast, move, let's go!" With the order from Du Hong, everyone quickly stood up from their tents, ready to go. No one dared to disobey him, as not only he was one of the commanders, but he was also a Nascent Soul expert.

Naturally, the disciples from the Arasura sect were also ready, they did not come to lose time after all.

Seeing that they were ready, he nodded in satisfaction and began to speak: "Our first goal will be the Shu Kingdom. Remember that while they are probably too weak to resist our assault, lowering your guard in a battle is dangerous, and may lead to your own death."

Nodding to the words of Du Hong, everyone expressed their understanding, however none of them actually acknowledged his words. What can such a weak Kingdom do against 2000 Dantian Core Formation realm experts? The only option will be to bow down their heads and surrender.

"Very well, as you are ready let's depart."

Unlike the pace a normal army would have, being all at least in the Dantian Core Formation they were all speedily running, neither too fast, neither too slow; the precise speed not to tire yet not to need too much time.

Everyone was relaxed for this first attack and decided to treat it as something to gain experience before the next attack toward the another Kingdom.

-----

A couple of hours later, they were in a green plain, while in front of them there was a knoll. They were about to walk on top of it to advance, however…

"Everyone, stop right now!" With the order from Du Hong, all abruptly stopped, puzzled on what was the problem.

However, looking ahead, what they saw shocked all of them, who is he?

In their sight, on top of the knoll, there was a child staring at them.

The child was slightly smiling, while having cold eyes looking down on them as if he were looking at a prey.

While the child was merely a Dantian Core Formation of the 3rd string… anyone was shivering only by feeling his gaze on top of them.

Suddenly, the child smiled creepily, "Since you dared to attack my Kingdom… annihilation is what awaits you all."

At that moment, everyone in the army felt that their enemy was not a child, but the impersonification itself of death.
