Vol 6 Chapter 8 (1/2)
Book 6, Breaking Through the Cocoon, Beco a butterfly, Chapter 8 – A Wonderful Treasure!
“Well-offended” Ji Yichuan’s eyes flashed with cold light “This matter involves the survival of the Ji clan How can we be bothered by whether or not we are offending a garrison general?”
“Right” Ji Ning, Ji Truekeep, Granny Shadow, and Ah Xing all nodded
Garrison generals wielded great power The six hegee amount of tax each year to the Grand Xia Dynasty They delivered it directly to S Mountain City! Aside froeneral was also responsible for oversight; he was responsible on behalf of the Grand Xia Dynasty for ion
Power over both oversight and tax collection…if they were really to squabble, these things would cause the Ji clan to suffer in the future
But that was just suffering; compared to the possible perishment of the entire clan, it didn’t matter!
“As long as we sign an agreement with the Grand Xia Dynasty, ould have their protection He, a garrison general, wouldn’t be able to do anything to us” Ji Ninefire said “Since everyone is here, I will let you know that I have already chosen the location for our battle with Snowdragon Mountain Let’s head out”
“Where e battle with Snowdragon Mountain?” Ning asked
“Oxhorn Mountain, located close to the City of Ten Thousand Swords” Ninefire said
“Oxhorn Mountain?”
Ning was naturally extreraphical areas around the Ji clan Upon hearing what Ninefire said, he immediately understood where they would be Oxhorn Mountain was roughly eight hundred kilometers away froe, desolate mountain Because the peak of the mountain was split in twain, like the horns of an ox, it was referred to as ‘Oxhorn Mountain’
“I’ve also sent envoys” Ninefire said “They are flying on winged beasts towards Snowdragon City to idirectly inforrand formation at the base of Oxhorn Mountain Given the speed at which hly ten hours, they will arrive at Snowdragon Mountain”
Ning and the others nodded
Ten hours?
It would probably be toed beasts the envoys fleere ordinary, trained animals; it was only natural that they would not be able to co monsters, or to Zifu Disciples
“I will collect this bewildering formation, and then ill i suddenly attacked, had set up the formation here
“Whoosh!+”
An enor with the two spirit-beasts, stood or sat atop the gourd The gouard flew through the skies at high speed
Oxhorn Mountain was roughly three hundred or so kilometers away They arrived within moments
“Right there” Ninefire pointed at the split peak of Oxhorn Mountain below the fro area is co that can block our line of sight As long as those Snowdragon Mountain disciples come, ill immediately see them from far away”
Ning, Yichuan, and the others all nodded
Whoosh!+
They landed froourd away Ninefire and the others thus landed atop the mountain
“I have already prepared six for research in analyzing for area “I’ll only need as much time as it takes to boil a kettle of tea before I set these foron Mountain who specialize in forh them, they will probably need to spend quite so that period of time, we can also borrow the power of the formation to launch sneak attacks and a through the foroal is to make them waste as much time as possible Based on my calculations, the Celestial Envoy of the Grand Xia Dynasty will arrive in three days If we can hold for three days, then once the Celestial Envoy arrives, ill have won!”
“Right Once the Celestial Envoy arrives, they will no longer dare to act” Granny Shadow nodded as well
“Even if we die, we have to delay theh our formation” Truekeep nodded soleroup of Zifu Disciples of Snowdragon Mountain…if we fight them head on, there’s no way for us to compete We have to rely on the forh our forreater our chances for victory Ideally, we should get rid of the foron Mountain has invited over”
Ninefire shook his head “They will definitely focus on protecting their forht even prepare specifically for us launching our ainst the It isn’t too likely that ill be able to kill the formation experts”
Yichuan nodded as well “Let’s do our best to delay!”
Six grand formations!
The disruption of each forer the Ji clan would face
“Patriarch” Ning said solerand formation as well We can be considered to have seven formations in total”
“Oh?” They all looked at Ning
“You have a grand formation?” Ninefire was extremely surprised “Was it Bei Zishan’s? Bei Zishan caon Mountain, and he should have had soh this hat he said, in his heart, Ninefire didn’t feel too hopeful, because as he saw it, Bei Zishan was an amateur, while he, Ninefire, had chosen these six formations based on the most exquisite formations available to him and based on the treasures the Ji clan held
“No” Ning shook his head “I once had a special stroke of fortune, and the rand formation”
“A special stroke of fortune?” They were all stunned Yichuan stared at Ning Yichuan’s first reaction was to think back to how Ning disappeared in Serpentwing Lake That time, he and his wife had been worried for many days
Yichuan said, “Ji Ning has indeed had a special stroke of fortune, which he narrowly survived However, I didn’t know he had acquired a powerful ic treasure from it”
Ning nodded “Patriarch, look”
