A Will Eternal – Chapter 529
Chapter 529: The Wealth of the World City
When Bai Xiaochun had originally traveled from the World City to the Great Wall, he was with Zhao Tianjiao and the others. Due to the overwhelming danger they faced, their small group was unable to move quickly.
But now he was traveling through the same area as the troops on his orders. Furthermore, they had a spell formation to increase their speed. Therefore, less than a month later that about 5,000 farmers saw a large city appear on the horizon.
It was a city that seemed to be filled with dark darkness, and was none other than World City!
The cultivators of the five legions camped in World City were there as a reserve if the Great Wall City fell. If that happened, they would provide most of the troops that would retaliate for the attack.
Since Bai Xiaochun was a great general, news of his arrival had previously been announced to the garrison in the World City. Because of this, there were many cultivators lined up in a formation about five kilometers outside of the city, waiting to receive it.
Moreover, the city magistrates, as well as the leaders of the other major organizations in the city, were all present. After all, a great general was the type of person anyone would see with great importance. Of course, the city magistrate had been appointed directly to his position by the Sky Dao Polarity Sect, but even he was unwilling to sow enmity with the legion due to an act of negligence.
The garrison in the World City had four major generals, and they all behaved best. Despite being of the same rank as Bai Xiaochun, he was from the frontline, which meant that they did not adequately measure him in terms of status. They had risen through the ranks due to their administrative abilities, and were far more suited to a peaceful World City than the frontlines of a brutal battle.
Right now, over a thousand people were waiting for Bai Xiaochun, roughly half of them were from the five legions, with the other half consisting of the city's magistrate army and other powerful organizations.
Most of them whispered in a soft voice about the new great general, on his way to recruit troops.
"It's definitely a bad thing for us that this guy is coming!"
"Rubber. Normally, they only sent colonels here from Great Wall City. Plus, this guy just got promoted. He wouldn't be here unless there was an important mission. "
"Do you really believe that he's here to pick up an army?" The city magistrate was a middle-aged cultivator with a Nascent Soul cultivation base, which, contrary to expectations, was actually quite fat. Although he had a good face, he was currently twisted with anxiety.
Although his cultivation base could be considered high, when it came to the five legions, it was of little importance. Moreover, he had only achieved his breakthrough with the Nascent Soul Pill, and had reached his current position by re-lubricating the wheels in the sect.
He also wondered why this great general had actually come to the World City. The fact that the four major generals of the World City all seemed equally suspicious only served for further reservations.
Even as everyone was discussing the matter, nine rays of light appeared from a distance. When rumbling sounds filled the air, the gathered cultivators turned to look towards the light, and soon, nine soldiers appeared.
They all had expressionless faces and were engulfed by a murderous aura. Although they were only Core Formation cultivators, they were clearly the type of people who could not be underestimated.
“A large elevated general is coming soon. Thank you for coming to accept it, ladies and gentlemen! ” After making the introduction, some of the group of nine returned to the way they came to report, while the rest checked the area.
Extremely serious expressions could be seen on the faces of the city magistrates, the major generals, and other city leadership officials.
Two hours passed before a strong rumbling sound could be heard. Everyone in the waiting crowd looked on with a serious expression as ripple fluctuations filled the sky like waves.
Moments later, the vanguard of the 3rd Corps appeared, filled with energy, looking like sharp blades as they cut through the clouds!
Everyone gasped at the impressive sight.
It was especially true of the four major generals, who all smiled bitterly when they realized that the subordinates under their control were definitely not a suitable match for the cultivators of the 3rd Corps.
Just behind the front row were two regiments of a thousand people, spread out with wings to the left and to the right.
The two regiments with their throbbing murderous auras almost looked like bows, toned and ready to release mighty arrows. Next came Bai Xiaochun, surrounded by his personal guards, and flanked by more troops. Almost immediately, Bai Xiaochun became the focus of all the attention, what with his glittering golden armor.
As the army approached, the gathered cultivators became even more nervous. Instead, Bai Xiaochun felt extremely excited, and continued to sigh in satisfaction.
As they got closer to the city magistrate and the other cultivators, Bai Xiaochun issued an order, and the army stopped in place right in front of the city officials. Then, troops were sent to scout the area, while the other cultivators under Bai Xiaochun's command stared coldly at the people from the World City.
Of course, it made everyone, including the city magistrate, even more nervous than before.
Moments later, the four major generals took a deep breath and flew into the air, where they clasped hands and bowed.
"Rekan Daoist Bai, we've been waiting for you!"
Bai Xiaochun laughed out loud, waving his hands at the vanguard soldiers, who parted to make way for the four major generals. They quickly approached and introduced themselves, and also offered some introductory gifts. Considering that they were all members of the five legions, and being extremely polite, Bai Xiaochun was very pleased. With a smile, he began to have a friendly chat with them.
A short while later, the city magistrate and other important figures exchanged glances, then sighed and flew into the air to give their greetings.
They also secretly offered some gifts, which made Bai Xiaochun feel even more pleased than before. Then, they crowded around him and started escorting him to the World City.
” Brother Bai, you really are a perfect chosen one. I can hardly believe you have reached the rank of a great general at such a young age! Your future prospects are unlimited! "
"Rubber. I have long heard about all your impressive exploits in the sect, Major General Bai. ”
“You are truly a great hero, Major General. By the way, what important task brought you here? If we're all here to help, just say so. ” This kind of talk came out of the mouths of officials, officers, and other important people all the way to the city, causing Bai Xiaochun to explode with joy. However, he did not peek at why he was here, which was what Bai Lin had advised him to do.
So far, everything had gone according to the plan set out by Bai Lin, including the cold attitude of the soldiers, and the way Bai Xiaochun had refused to talk about the reason for his arrival. The goal was to make the important people of the city even more anxious, and encourage them to gather them with more gifts.
That's exactly what happened. Upon arriving in the city itself, he discovered that the road ahead had been cleared and barricaded to make the path clear to him. When he looked around at the expression of reverence and anticipation on the faces of the World City cultivators as they looked at him, he sighed even deeper.
If he wanted to, he could kill anyone with one command. Or, if he thought of a female cultivator, a word from him, and everything would be taken care of. The man will be sent to deal with this matter, and he will be sent to his room later tonight.
At the very least, Bai Xiaochun was confident that he could do such things given his current rank.
Several days passed, during which time the powerful organizations in the city continued to send him gifts every day, until they were piled up like a small mountain. As of now, Bai Xiaochun fully understood why so many people would struggle so hard to be promoted to a great general.
Of course, he had not forgotten his plan to recruit troops. Zhao Long arranged everything. Men were sent out to search for the various Starry Sky Dao Polarity Superstars members who had come with Bai Xiaochun on a boat trip from the sect. Every time they were seen, records were made, and reports would be given to Bai Xiaochun. Then, a simple nod of the head would make them conscripted.
However, after searching all the familiar names, he did not see any mention of Gongsun Wan’er or the God-Diviner Master. Of course, when it came to Chen Manyao, Bai Xiaochun was quite certain that he would have long since returned to his home in the Wildlands.
As for Gongsun Wan’er and Master God-Diviner, it was impossible to tell where they were, and even using the transmission jade slip to try to reach them was unsuccessful.
"Gongsun Wan’er has always been very mysterious, so I might forget about it. But where did Lord Dewa-Diviner go? ”
Seven days passed, during which Bai Xiaochun continued to collect gifts. It reached a point where he did not even bother to set it up, and just casually threw it into his bag.
One night while he was considering whether or not to send some people to search specifically for the God-Diviner Master, the fat city magistrate came to visit.
"Sister Bai," he said with a laugh, "today is your lucky day!"
"Huh?" Bai Xiaochun's jaw dropped, as he was completely unsure of what the city magistrate said.
