Chapter 2655 - 2653: The Land Where Heaven Was Mended

Chapter 2655: Chapter 2653: The Land Where Heaven Was Mended

The spirits of the frontier Human Race on the city wall were invigorated, standing up with their swords, eyes fixed on Er Lang the Divine Lord.

Nearby, Little Kylin raised his arm and shouted, "The Human Race will win!"

Little Xuan, Little Bai, Little Qing, and Vermilion Bird joined in the loud chorus, "The Human Race will win!"

"The Human Race will win!"

"The Human Race will win!"

"The Human Race will win!"

"..."

The voices of those below rose in waves, echoing throughout the entire frontier.

Er Lang the Divine Lord ordered his three thousand Straw-headed Gods to immediately recruit troops here.

After he and Little Kylin had some downtime, they sat together to drink a bowl of wine.

Curiously, Little Kylin asked him, "Big brother Yang Jian, why don’t you use the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals from the Heavenly Court, but recruit these refugees here instead?"

Er Lang the Divine Lord replied, "The people from the Heavenly Court are either gods recruited from the Sect of Severance or disciples sent by various sects to loaf around. They may be able to bully some Little Demons and minor devils, but when it comes to a tough fight, it’s the locals who we depend on. This is their home, and they have a blood feud with the Demon Clan. Only they are truly willing to fight the Demon Clan desperately."

"I’ve learned!"

Little Kylin and the others nodded, suddenly hearing the sound of a dog barking beneath the city.

The group raised their brows and immediately went over to the battlements to look down.

They saw a woman in a black robe viciously beating a male cultivator.

The male cultivator, with a bald head, shouted excitedly, "Come on, keep going, use more strength!"

Those around him found it funny, chuckling one after another.

Those who knew would think he was getting beaten up, while those who didn’t might think he was enjoying it.

Er Lang the Divine Lord’s face darkened, and he shouted down angrily to the woman, "Roaring Celestial Dog, what are you doing?"

Upon seeing him, the woman prostrated on the ground, transformed into a slender black dog, and returned to his side to complain, "Master, that bald head kept saying indecent things to me, I couldn’t help it."

Little Kylin and the others were surprised, unexpectedly discovering that the Roaring Celestial Dog was actually female?

Er Lang the Divine Lord reprimanded, "They are helpers invited by my master. No matter what, you can’t just hit people, understand?"

"Understood!"

The Roaring Celestial Dog muttered reluctantly, listening as the bald guy shouted again from below, "Black Beauty, I’ve taken a liking to you, I want to have pups with you!"

Roaring Celestial Dog’s eyes blazed with anger, as she crouched on the wall and gave the bald guy a fierce glare.

Little Kylin and the others watched the bald guy and forced a dry laugh, secretly giving him a thumbs up.

The bald guy, who else could it be but Bald Dog? Little Kylin and the others didn’t bother with the bald guy and even respectfully called him Uncle Dog.

Bald Dog was with Long Fei when they weren’t even born yet!

The Ground Rat Demon King and Da Heiniu felt embarrassed and dragged Bald Dog away.

The Ground Rat Demon King scolded, "Brother Dog, if you’re going to chase women, chase them, but can you be a bit more discreet? You look like a simp!"

Da Heiniu said, "Yeah, you’re also the Emperor’s brother, doing this without fear of being ridiculed."

Bald Dog’s eyes sparkled with affection, unconcerned, "What do you know? I’ve waited a lifetime, finally I’ve found my love. I’ve decided, this lifetime I won’t marry anyone but Black Beauty. What’s wrong with being a simp? If you want to be one, you need a dog to let you simp!"

The Ground Rat Demon King and Da Heiniu were exasperated, covering his dog mouth and dragged him away.

Little Kylin covered his face on the city wall and sat down beside Er Lang the Divine Lord to talk business, "Divine Monarch, what should we do next? Should we take the initiative or stay here and defend?"

Er Lang the Divine Lord replied, "The Ancient Demon Clan suddenly returning with an army probably encountered some problem. If they’ve been plotting for a long time, this isn’t the right time for a rebellion since the cataclysm hasn’t come. They are anxious, but we are not. We should conserve our forces and defend here, slowly exhausting their strength, and then catch them all at once, this is the way to victory."

Little Kylin nodded in agreement.

Little Qing asked, "Can we really stop them with just this checkpoint?"

Er Lang the Divine Lord chuckled, "Sister, don’t underestimate this checkpoint. Everyone here must have heard that it was the place where coincidently the Ancestral Witch Gonggong and Zhurong fought. This checkpoint was reconstructed from the broken Mount Buzhou. Saint Nuwa once refined stone to mend the heavens, and this is the place she mended. The major spatial crack has been blocked, leaving only this gap. Hence, this fortress was built to suppress this place. As long as the Five-Colored Stone is placed on the Formation Eye on the city wall, it can completely seal this area."

"Is this really how it happened?"

"This city wall is a formation?"

"We’re witnessing a myth in real life."

"..."

The crowd was amazed, not expecting such a story here.

Little Qing said, "Then what are we waiting for? Activate the formation and seal this place, we’ll be safe then!"

Er Lang the Divine Lord shook his head, "If it were really that simple, we wouldn’t have come here. The Five-Colored Stone can mend the heavens, but its effect is temporary with one strike. If it’s activated continuously, the Five-Colored Stone’s energy will eventually be exhausted. That’s why normally the formation isn’t used."

The crowd nodded and raised their cups to Er Lang the Divine Lord, "Whatever the Divine Monarch commands, we will follow."

"A toast to the Divine Monarch!"

"..."

Er Lang the Divine Lord felt delighted inside, raising his cup and thanking them.

The group then stationed themselves here, training the new army with three thousand Straw-headed Gods and tightly guarding with the Demon Soldiers from Liangshan Island.

Within a day, another wave of reinforcements arrived.

Li Jing, accompanied by the Four Heavenly Kings and Nezha, personally led a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals here.

Compared to the dirty, busy Border Army training below.

The Heavenly Court’s army, with their exquisite equipment, clad in golden and silver armor and wielding immortal-grade golden spears and longswords, looked like heavenly gods descending to the mortal realm.

They stood neatly solemn, with prideful expressions on their faces, and met with Er Lang the Divine Lord below the city wall alongside Li Jing.

Li Jing glanced around at the training new army with some disdain and said, "Er Lang the Divine Lord, Your Majesty dispatched you here to eradicate the Ancient Demon Clan. Why are you recruiting troops here?"

He and Er Lang the Divine Lord had always been at odds in the Heavenly Court. Er Lang despised the Jade Emperor, while Li Jing was obediently loyal, considering Er Lang too rebellious.

Moreover, he felt that, in the Heavenly Court, only Er Lang posed a threat to him, being the biggest competitor to his command over the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Er Lang the Divine Lord coldly replied, "What I do is none of the Heavenly Court’s business. Moreover, I’m not doing this under the Jade Emperor’s orders, but for the common people of the world. If the Heavenly King finds it displeasing, feel free to report to the Jade Emperor."

Nezha stood behind Li Jing, secretly giving Er Lang the Divine Lord a thumbs-up.

He and Er Lang had been friends since the Divine Enthronement, Er Lang nodded and smiled at him, while Li Jing angrily shouted, "Fine, well done. I never expected, the esteemed Er Lang the Divine Lord is actually a coward. You dare not confront the Ancient Demon Clan, making all sorts of excuses. Tomorrow, this Heavenly King will lead the troops into battle, and show you what Heavenly Soldiers and Generals really are!"

"As you wish!"

Er Lang the Divine Lord said nothing more, arranging for Li Jing and his troops to be given a place to set up camp.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals looked around at the Straw-headed Gods and laughed aloud, "Straw-headed Gods will always be Straw-headed Gods, they’ll never be presentable."

"Now that we’ve arrived, tomorrow those Ancient Demon Clan will surely pay!"

"Brothers, tomorrow let’s show them the might of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!"

"..."
