Chapter 334: Storm right around the corner

Returning to Cloud Mist Sect, Ye Chuan entered seclusion once again. Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes took a break of two days, then began to attack again.

Da Qin army continued to press forward, but their speed was clearly much slower. Especially at night, even before it got dark, the soldiers would tightly shut the gate of the fortress and didn’t dare to come out.

Under the leadership of Zhu Sijia and Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes, Cloud Mist Sect made a diversion and frequently attacked the fortress located in the middle. In the beginning, the results were pretty good. They were able to kill elites of Da Qin Dynasty of many fortresses. But slowly, perhaps, they feared to receive heavy causalities, the number of soldiers that were left to defend the strongholds became fewer and fewer. From original 3000 soldiers, it was reduced to 800, moreover, the majority of them were the old, weak, sick and disabled. Sometimes, seeing even the shadow of Cloud Mist Sect’s disciples, guarding soldiers would open the door and surrender without any resistance.

For half a month in succession, Cloud Mist Sect achieved victories. They destroyed all strongholds that were built by Da Qin Dynasty using great effort. Just the number of prisoners had nearly reached 10,000. Moreover, they had reached the mountain near Pingyuan ancient town, threatening the main camp of Da Qin Dynasty. On several occasions, the disciples of Cloud Mist Sect holding Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows chased and killed the patrolling party of Da Qin Dynasty to their camp’s entrance.

The disciples were in high spirits, and Fatty Zhao Dazhi was boasting even more. Being able to defeat enemies in succession, all were overjoyed.

Now, in this period of time, Da Qin army was feeling pressure from Cloud Mist Sect. On the surface, no one spoke, but they were weighed down with anxieties in their heart. It was fine now, but if this continues, then they would have no choice but to retreat completely.

When everybody was in high spirits, Zhu Sijia nevertheless was worried in her heart. Finally, one night, she dragged along Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes and knocked on the bedroom door of Ye Chuan.

Inside, Ye Chuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed. His breathing was long-drawn-out and was completely still. He seemed to have fallen asleep and also appeared as if he was making a spiritual tour.

In the air, there was a delicate fragrance. It was very thin, but made people feel comfortable when inhaled. On the small wooden table beside the bed, a charcoal was burning in a small furnace, and that arm guard brought back from the battlefield was being roasted above the charcoal, and a mist was curling upward from it.

“Eh, Your Excellency, isn’t this……”

Old Demon of Mount Yin Rhodes was startled as he looked at the arm guard being roasted.

He could understand throwing a treasure into a furnace to refine, but who would roast it with charcoal?

“Rhodes, you are not mistaken, this is the same arm guard you picked up.”

Ye Chuan slowly opened his eyes and indifferently said, “Actually, strictly speaking, this is not an arm guard, rather a piece of Jade Incense. Legends say that all things have origins, humans have ancestors, dragons have ancestral dragons and trees also has ancestral trees. This Jade Incense is formed after the agar flowed down from the ancestral tree condenses. A drop of it can linger for eternity, can foster solid foundation, soothe the soul and remove heart demon.”

After contemplating for more than half a month, Ye Chuan was finally able to see through the true colors of this arm guard and understood what this was.

This was a Jade Incense, it couldn’t be counted as a treasure, but it is hard to come by compared to the majority of big killing weapons. Just roasting this Jade Incense and meditating for half a month in its delicate fragrance, the temperament of Ye Chuan appeared different to some extent, and another one qi cyclone appeared within his body, showing the sign of condensing new Heaven Swallowing Talisman. Furthermore, he also showed a sign of breaking through to Rank 3 Daoist Master realm.

A Heaven Swallowing Talisman would increase his strength by 18,000 jin. This time, what kind of Heaven Swallowing Talisman would he condense?

Ye Chuan was full of expectation for his next breakthrough.
