Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety Seven – Hardship Guard Armor (2/2)
“In the name of the Hardship Guard, we follow daren, never leaving or abandoning!”
One thousand Hardship Guards bowed at the same time.
Zuo Mo was stunned.

Rong Wei hadn’t retreated far away like the other xiuzhe. She was looking from a distance on a peak. On a peak nearby there was a large male and a middle-aged person. Other than that, there were some other scattered xiuzhe, the great majority of which were ningmai third stratum xiuzhe.
It was a rare chance to personally see jindan fight.
This wasn’t guidance, or sparring, but a battle to the death.
Up until now, no one had seen the mysterious master of Golden Crow City fight. The only offensive move would probably be activating the Skyring Moon Chime Formation. However, other than seeing that his skill in formations was extremely deep, it was not possible to see anything about his power.
It would be seen in this battle.
Rong Wei had other thoughts. Truthfully, she didn’t favor the master of Golden Crow City. Clear Sky Old Forefather was a person that even the Marquis was slightly wary of. His power was not so simple.
Only xiuzhe that knew jindan would know how strong a jindan was. To say of nothing else, but the movement speed would leave ningmai in the dust was enough for a jindan to be undefeatable. The difference in casting spells was a difference in the nature of power.
Fighting using numbers was not something that could be used against jindan. This meant that Golden Crow City was fated to only defend. It also meant that Clear Sky Old Forefather would always have the initiative.
It was a terrifying matter for a jindan that had the initiative and did not lack attacking moves.
Rong Wei definitely would not enter into this battle. She didn’t have any qualifications. However, if Golden Crow City was defeated, based on the Marquis’s face, she may be able to save that Moon Silver battle general. It would be too much of a pity if such a young Moon Silver battle general died here.
And if she took the chance to recruit him … …
That was the idea she had.
She reflexively looked at the large male and the middle-aged person nearby. She detected the origins of these two would not be small. Inside, she hoped that these people did not have the same idea that she did.
Otherwise, another battle of slaughter could not be avoided. Even more importantly, if the Old Forefather discovered that young person was a Silver battle general, they didn’t have to think of the matter anymore. Old Forefather would either recruit him or kill him.
There was no reason to let such a talent work under someone else.
This plan would only succeed if Clear Sky Old Forefather was ignorant.
Suddenly, a wave rippled across the sky in the distance. A vast presence that could not be stopped covered all of Sky Star Mountain range
Everyone’s expression changed. They felt their body freeze, and were shocked.
He had come!
The golden light of Golden Crow City suddenly brightened, countless golden energies leaping up and swimming like fish. They moved to cover the sky above Golden Crow City. Each formation battle watchtower lit up with silver lights. In a blink of an eye, all thirty six formation battle watchtowers were alight. A golden hoop rose into the sky spreading a burning golden light. Countless golden threads dangled off, and a faint Buddhist chanting could be heard.
Clear Sky Old Forefather seemed to appear out of nowhere in the sky above Golden Crow City.
Hair loose, he looked to be in his forties, but his skin was like that of an infant. A snowy white robe was carelessly tied on his body.
He faintly glanced at the people hiding at a distance to watch the fight.
Everyone felt their hearts uncontrollably jump, and were even more shocked.
The authority of a jindan was fierce!
“Little Miss Rong, is the Marquis well?” the Clear Sky Old Forefather faintly opened as though he was speaking of daily activities.
Rong Wei could only come out. “With the good fortune of Old Forefather, Marquis is well.”
“Oh, then why is Marquis trying to fight for this little jie with me?” Clear Sky Old Forefather’s voice was still faint.
Rong Wei felt her breathing stop and almost fell. Her scalp pricking, she could only say, “Old Forefather is joking. With Old Forefather here, Marquis won’t disturb you. Marquis only heard that Stars in Daytime has appeared in Little Mountain Jie, and sent this servant to investigate. Before coming Marquis had especially ordered this servant to first inform Old Forefather.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is,” Old Forefather nodded, “after this matter, I will go visit the Marquis. If you wish to see this battle, go back fifty more li.”
The tone that Clear Sky Old Forefather spoke to her was very warm, but for some unknown reason, Rong Wei’s heart froze. She didn’t dare to hesitate, and hurriedly retreated fifty li back.
“Everyone else, retreat one hundred li,” Clear Sky Old Forefather said lightly, “in ten breaths. Otherwise, don’t blame this Old Forefather for being impolite.”
The atmosphere in the air was instantly as heavy as mountains.
The other people were even more shocked and retreated in panic. The large male and the middle-aged person’s expressions couldn’t help but change. They exchanged a look, and retreated at the same time.
No one dared to disobey a jindan.
At this time, Clear Sky Old Forefather’s gaze casually turned to Golden Crow City.
