Chapter 178: Chapter 163: You Want the Old Man to Write a Book for Demons to Read? (Seeking Monthly Ticket) Chapter 178: Chapter 163: You Want the Old Man to Write a Book for Demons to Read? (Seeking Monthly Ticket) By that time, the place where this book needs to be distributed is not Jingguan City, but the Southern Front Battlefield, even Ten Thousand Mountains! Let those demons take a look! Thinking this way, inspiration gushed forth like a fountain. After all, Chen Yuan’s ultimate “target customers” are them! But all these require the right opportunity, or else it would backfire. He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, took a few turns, then stopped, turned his head towards Gongsun Yang, and suddenly asked, “Know how to write rubbish rhetoric?” Gongsun Yang looked at the man in front of him, “Your Excellency is too meticulous.” “The idea is to portray the villain as terrifying and loathsome, so that readers despise them. Then describe the protagonist, cough... the hero in a way that angers the demons so much they’d jump up and curse their own mothers.” Chen Yuan gave his “advice” without blushing or skipping a beat. Hearing this, Gongsun Yang vaguely understood Chen Yuan’s intention, but felt uncertain inside, “My lord, surely you’re not asking this old man to write for the demons to read?” Chen Yuan’s eyes crinkled at the corners, a probing look on his face. “Something like that, why not give it a try and make some edits?” Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang’s beard trembled slightly, Damn, this lord really thinks outside the box! He wouldn’t even dare to entertain such thoughts. Is he asking me to break new grounds? A few minutes later, Gongsun Yang left the summit of Ninth Mountain with a worried look. Just like a sugar daddy telling a scriptwriter to drastically alter a script—the word of the patron means his subordinates must tear their hair out in frustration. How worrisome! While Chen Yuan watched the storyteller leave with that expression, he couldn’t help but smirk. Pumped up on arrival, yet leaving with a worried frown. Maybe I thought it too simple? Just give it a try! Thinking this, he glanced a few times towards the north side of the mountain. Finding nothing of interest, his figure blurred on the spot and vanished, reappearing at a carved mountainside of Ninth Mountain. There nestled a collection of pavilions and towers, with flying eaves and arched bridges, along with stream waterfalls and cypress pines. In the center stood a grand hall, its style not unlike the main hall within the inner city of Tianxiong Pass. On the placard, boldly inscribed with three large characters that looked like silver hooks—Ninth Mountain. This was the Ninth Mountain Colonel Hall! Chen Yuan walked across the arched bridges in the mountain breeze, familiarizing himself with the layout. Along the way, maids and slaves, as well as patrolling armored soldiers, saw Chen Yuan, the newly appointed Colonel of Ninth Mountain, and all bowed their heads in tribute. Although Ninth Mountain is just one of the twelve Mountain Assault Armies under The Overseers! Inside, the personnel affiliations, structures, and components were rather complex. For instance, the Colonel Palace where the Colonel resided, just the menial workers and slaves numbered over a hundred, responsible for the Colonel and his family’s dining and living, daily duties. Beneath him, various functional organizations, apart from the Mountain-cutting Army that fought everywhere, there were also Ten Divisions under his command, the Horse Training Department responsible for training breed horses, Spotted Sword Bureau for weapon forging.... and so on. Each mountain was self-sufficient, with all essential parts in place. Even getting acquainted with the internal affairs would take quite some time. Currently pressed for time, Chen Yuan naturally had no energy to sort these out, everything was still uncertain, and he had not given orders to convene others, deciding to wait until his return from the west. Thinking this, he stepped into the Colonel Palace. A maid saw him entering, scurrying over with quick steps, bringing tea and pastries, her Tang dress flowing, as she entered the grand hall. “General, you... haven’t had breakfast!” “I’m here to serve you!” Chen Yuan looked at the four delicate maids, bearing wooden cups, wearing Tang dresses, bowing their heads, their little faces slightly tense, and after thinking for a moment, having been accustomed to being alone, he wasn’t quite used to this yet, and he spoke up. “Take the things back first. Call on you again when I have orders.” “Yes!” A few warbles of the oriole, the maids responded and retreated. Once they had left the hall, Chen Yuan flung his sleeves and closed the doors. He then paced to a quiet room behind the grand hall. Afterward, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes to regulate his breath for a while, and then his eyes snapped open, Divine Light retracted. With a flick of his sleeves, a green bottle about a foot tall appeared in front of him. He blew out a breath of Gang Qi, extinguishing the True Fire prohibition on the bottle, which immediately emitted a clear ring. An Elixir “swooshed” out of the mouth of the bottle. Chen Yuan’s eyes blazed, reflecting upon the pill and firmly catching it, making it spin steadily three feet in front of him. It was precisely the Yuntao Pill given to him by Pei Yanhu! This pill was rumored to help accelerate the comprehension of Tao Force and solidify Tao Fruit. Having to lead troops to the Demon Battlefield in two days, gaining an increase in strength right now meant an additional chance for survival. Thinking this, he exhaled a wisp of Golden Core True Fire, enfolding the pill and swallowing it. The next second, Chen Yuan’s body trembled violently. A sound like the report of a gun echoed from within his body! ....... At this moment, in the North Courtyard, discussions were stirring everywhere. “Ji Wuming of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect obtained two drops of Heavenly Barrier Demon Blood Essence once again. It seems his breakthrough is a sure thing. To be able to break into the Fourth Heavenly Barrier at such a young age, it’s hard to find a few like him in all of Shu. It really makes people envious.” “Indeed, the key lies in that Demon Blood Essence. Which Colonel was so generous? It’s known that this substance is also very useful for the Fourth Heavenly Barrier. Admirable.” “I just got news from a fellow Daoist of Shu Mountain that it was none other than the soon-to-be-ennobled Ninth Mountain’s Colonel. It’s said that Ji Wuming merely had a brief encounter with him. What destiny, to be so envied.” “Wow, this new Colonel really has a grand presence. Nobody knows where he came from, nor have I heard of him. Why would the Government Administrative Office go to such lengths to invite the great Sects and Noble families to watch the ceremony?” “It’s quite understandable. The Overseers convened to discuss matters, surely about dealing with the circumstances of the Ten Thousand Mountains. I’ve heard elders from my Sect say that the Overseers are like a sick tiger right now, greatly weakened after years of drain and struggling to hold on. That’s why they’re seeking help from the various Sects. Some might not give them face, but this is all a game among Important people. We should prepare ourselves. It is estimated that some of us will be dispatched to confront the Devil Race. As for the ceremony, it’s just by the way!” “That’s right, let’s gather some fellow Daoists later and exchange some things to prepare early.” “......” While Sect Disciples were quietly speculating about who the new Ninth Mountain Colonel could be, At the same time, at the foot of the Ninth Mountain, troops of horses were neighing loudly. One by one, Armored Soldiers received orders, rode horses out of the mountain, then dispersed to rush towards the bustling Jingguan City, quickly infiltrating the streets from all directions. “Gallop” “Gallop” “Gallop” “....” Troops of Armored Soldiers sped through the streets. Arriving at a certain place, one stopped, dismounted quickly, promptly posted a written notice on the wall. Then they mounted again and continued rushing to the next location. Once the Armored Soldier left, immediately curious citizens gathered around to take a look, and someone read it out loud. “The Demons have broken through, bringing calamity to living beings...” “The Ninth Mountain is recruiting troops......” The words on it were simple and straightforward. Upon hearing, the crowd, learning it was a call to arms, quickly scattered like birds and beasts. Going to war meant death!
