Chapter 241 The Posture of Flowing Light
In the largest square in White Sand City, tens of thousands of martial artists sat cross-legged, each with a solemn expression, appearing dignified and sacred.
Among these martial artists, the vast majority, numbering around eight thousand, were at the Grandmaster level, while the remaining thousand or so were at the Great Grandmaster level.
They are now all in Longhua Dao, worshipping Xiao Chong as their Dao Master, and are ready to fight the Wu Lao Association at any time.
In the past few days, Xiao Chong has been distributing a huge amount of pills without regard to cost, with each person receiving several or even dozens of pills. These pills are somewhat different from the ones they took the first time; they cannot improve their martial arts level, but they can rapidly enhance their cultivation in a short period of time.
Among the pills distributed by Xiao Chong, some could directly increase a martial artist's internal energy, while others could accelerate the absorption of the energy of heaven and earth. Although absorbing the energy of heaven and earth through the body was slower, it had the advantage of being able to absorb it anytime, anywhere.
If you absorb a little more each day, it adds up to a terrifying number over time.
These martial artists are now sitting in the square, preparing to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, transforming it into their own spiritual power.
After everyone was seated, Xiao Chong gave an order, and the ten thousand martial artists closed their eyes slightly and began to circulate their respective cultivation techniques to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
As these martial artists practiced their skills, the surrounding天地 (heaven and earth) were filled with surging energy, converging from all directions towards the sky above the plaza.
Because there were so many martial artists channeling their energy, a massive amount of vital energy gathered together and rushed down from the sky like a tornado. In places where it was so dense, it was almost tangible and could be clearly seen even with the naked eye.
Xiao Chong stood in the plaza, leading over a hundred of the most powerful Grandmasters, including Long Wu and Helian Tieshu, moving among the martial artists practicing their internal energy. He would step forward to assist anyone who seemed amiss.
It should be understood that although elixirs can rapidly improve a martial artist's realm and cultivation, they are, after all, external forces. Many martial artists are not used to them for a while and inevitably lose control.
As they were wandering around, a martial artist leaped down from a watchtower by the square and hurried to Xiao Chong's side, reporting, "Master, five martial artists have been spotted ten miles outside the city, heading towards Baisha City. Judging from their attire, they should be members of the Martial Elders' Association!"
"Oh?"
Xiao Chong let out a soft sigh, stopped, and muttered to himself, "So many days have passed, the Martial Elders' Association should have sent someone to White Sand City by now. I just hope they won't be too disappointing."
After saying this, he let out a long howl that reached the ears of every martial artist.
The ten thousand martial artists in the square opened their eyes, ending their absorption of vital energy, and the sky above White Sand City quickly returned to normal.
"The Martial Elders' Association is heading towards Baisha City, less than ten miles from here. Prepare to fight!" Xiao Chong shouted softly.
"Your Lord commands!"
The martial artists all stood up and stood ready in the square.
……
Liu Guang led four Grandmasters to rush towards Baisha City. His plan was to end the battle as soon as possible, rest for one night in Baisha City, and then rush to the front line.
As for the four Grandmasters who accompanied him, he could let them go back slowly; he simply didn't have the patience to dawdle with them.
While they were on their way, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky. A huge amount of primordial energy gathered in the sky and surged towards White Sand City. Liu Guang was immediately alarmed.
"This strange phenomenon seems to be a martial artist absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth! But how could there be such a high-level martial artist in White Sand City? Judging from this aura, even someone as powerful as the Grand Elder probably couldn't achieve such a terrifying level. Could it be that a great treasure has been born in White Sand City?"
At first, Liu Guang thought the strange phenomenon was caused by martial artists' cultivation, but he quickly dismissed this unrealistic idea. He was certain that some great treasure had appeared in White Sand City.
Just then, another long howl echoed from White Sand City. As the howl faded away, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth rapidly dispersed, and the sun shone brightly in the sky, as if everything that had just happened was an illusion.
"Oh no, is someone collecting a powerful treasure? Otherwise, why would the spiritual energy of heaven and earth dissipate?"
"Since there is such a great treasure ahead, how can I, as a Martial Saint, fall behind?"
In a moment of panic, the light began to accelerate, heading straight for White Sand City in the direction from which the whistling sound came.
"My lord, wait for us!" Seeing the streak of light disappear in an instant, Liu Yu and the other three grandmasters gave chase.
Ten miles is far too short for a Martial Saint running at full speed. A few breaths later, the Stream of Light had already entered White Sand City and arrived at the place where the howl had originated.
Before them lay a vast plaza, filled with tens of thousands of people. If these were all ordinary people, it wouldn't be a problem, but these tens of thousands were all martial artists!
What's even more outrageous is that the lowest level of these martial artists is Grandmaster. Although some of them don't seem to have a very stable cultivation level, they are indeed all Grandmasters or Great Grandmasters.
Seeing the situation before him, Liu Guang slipped and almost fell!
As a martial saint, Liu Guang had seen countless martial artists in his life, but he had never experienced such a scene.
Tens of thousands of grandmasters or great grandmasters stood in a line, staring at him menacingly. This was definitely not a gesture of welcome!
Liu Guang looked somewhat dazed. He struggled to stand firm, feeling his legs were weak and unresponsive.
"My lord, should we charge in now and utterly annihilate these arrogant scoundrels?"
At some point, Liu Yu and the other three finally caught up. Seeing Liu Guang standing still, they asked loudly.
Out of their fanatical worship and absolute trust in the Martial Saint, none of the four noticed that Liu Guang's expression was extremely unpleasant.
"Screw you! Why don't you just pretend nothing happened and slip away quietly?" Liu Guang cursed inwardly when he heard Liu Yu's question, wishing he could kick him to death.
"Why hasn't Your Excellency made a move yet? Is it because these people are too weak for Your Excellency to bother with?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Liu Yu actually started urging him.
"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you, okay?"
Liu Guang wanted to turn and run away, but the dignity of a martial saint would not allow him to flee without a fight. Therefore, his face grew increasingly grim, but he could only keep these words to himself.
Just then, a young man stepped out from the ranks of martial artists in the square and asked loudly, "I am Xiao Chong, the Dao Master of Longhua Dao. Are you from the Martial Elders Association?"
"No!" The two words flashed through Liu Guang's mind, and he was about to blurt them out.
Before he could even speak, Liu Yu jumped out and interrupted him: "It is indeed the Martial Saint of the Martial Elders' Association, Lord Liu Guang! Now that you have seen the Martial Saint, why don't you bunch of scoundrels surrender?"
After flattering Liu Guang, Liu Yu smugly glanced back at him, hoping to receive his praise.
"Exactly!" Liu Guang had no choice but to step forward and answer, "I am Liu Guang, and I am here on the orders of the Martial Elders Association to spar with Daoist Xiao!"
Although they belong to different camps, their lives are their own.
After understanding this principle, Liu Guang spoke respectfully and adopted a very humble attitude.
