Ch 564: Something’s Not Right
“Leader, why isn’t Su Chen’s name on this list?”
Zhang Shaoyuan held the register in his hand, his eyebrow furrowed.
This register was the list of one-third of the Wolf Fang’s Celestial Human Realm warriors selected by Gao Tianci.
Hearing this, others also became dissatisfied.
Originally, in their view, Su Chen was their enemy, and Su Chen’s name should definitely be on this list.
Gao Tianci said indifferently: “【The Heavenly Court】 has given the word, they must personally kill Su Chen, so he cannot be on the list.”
Hearing this, everyone’s facial expressions improved slightly, but they were clearly still very dissatisfied and resentful.
However, this was Gao Tianci’s decision, related to the upcoming cooperation with 【the Heavenly Court】, so they could only silently accept it.
As for those who were selected, each one felt heavy in their hearts.
The frontline is now in critical condition. Going to the battlefield at this time is undoubtedly dangerous, and there is a high possibility of directly falling on the battlefield.
It would be strange if they said they weren’t nervous and afraid. Some even had thoughts of retreat.
Gao Tianci saw their thoughts and said directly: “You don’t need to worry. Huang Zu told me yesterday that we, Wolf Fang, are his direct descendants. Once on the battlefield, Huang Zu will take care of you. When you’re on the battlefield, be smart and don’t just recklessly charge forward fueled by hot blood.”
After hearing Gao Tianci’s words, their moods relaxed somewhat.
Gao Tianci continued to encourage them, “This is a crisis, but also an opportunity. If we win the battle, you will all be meritorious officials. Moreover, Huang Zu also said yesterday that all Transcendent Realm Experts must go to the battlefield in batches. When you survive the first impact of Tianlong Nation and establish merit, you will naturally be able to return.”
“Fight hard, establish merit for Daxia!”
Following Gao Tianci’s shout, they immediately shouted along.
“Establish merit!”
“Establish merit!”
“Establish merit…”
After all his subordinates left, the smile on Gao Tianci’s face instantly disappeared, becoming gloomy.
What Huang Wuji told him yesterday was not so optimistic; he almost directly told him to select one-third to be used as cannon fodder.
After talking with Huang Wuji, Gao Tianci realized that the crisis on the front lines was more serious than he had imagined, reaching a point of life and death.
Otherwise, the nation wouldn’t be urgently recruiting soldiers domestically.
Actually, Gao Tianci really wanted to put Su Chen’s name on the list and let Su Chen go to his death.
But he couldn’t do that. 【The Heavenly Court’s】 hatred for Su Chen had reached a terrifying degree, and they explicitly stated to him that Su Chen could only die by 【the Heavenly Court’s】 hand. They needed to use Su Chen as a blood sacrifice to eliminate the hatred and malevolent qi of everyone in 【the Heavenly Court】.
Therefore, even though Gao Tianci wanted to send Su Chen to the battlefield to die, he could only give up.
Compared to the deadly revenge Su Chen was about to face from 【the Heavenly Court】, he felt more heartbroken about the losses of the Wolf Fang.
First, Qin Xinzhi was crippled by Su Chen. Later, Liang Fan, Wei Gong, Fan Tongguang, and Wen Ren Mu—a total of four Tianren Realm Rank 8 strong persons—were killed by Su Chen, as well as more than a dozen other strong persons of the Tianren Realm level. This caused considerable losses to the Wolf Fang.
Now, one-third of the Celestial Human Realm warriors had to be sent to the battlefield to die, instantly reducing the Wolf Fang’s Celestial Human Realm warriors by half!
This significantly reduced the overall strength of the Wolf Fang.
It should be noted that the Wolf Fang’s ability to control lightning in the Southern Territory was due to the large number of strong persons at the Celestial Human Realm level under its command.
However, now, having lost half in a short time, Gao Tianci’s heart ached.
Moreover, all this started after Su Chen joined, this guy is a jinx!
Now, Gao Tianci only hopes for Su Chen’s death.
Soon, he called 【the Heavenly Court】, stating bluntly: “I’m ready, just waiting for the wind to blow.”
The other party was also quick and decisive, “We will take his head in two days.”
“Good,” Gao Tianci replied, then hung up the phone, a cold smile playing on his lips, “Su Chen, this time, the Jade Emperor and I will personally make our move; let’s see if you can still escape!”
【The Jade Emperor】 is the leader of 【the Heavenly Court】, having remained hidden for many years. There are rumors that he has been in seclusion, striving for a breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm. Five years ago, many people said he was the strongest below the Transcendent Realm. He has always been elusive. Unexpectedly, he would personally take action for Su Chen.
Besides 【the Jade Emperor】, 【Ziwei】, 【Qinghua】, 【Changsheng】, and 【Chengtian】—four Ninth Rank Celestial Human Realm experts—are also mobilized to ensure it is foolproof.
With such a situation, Gao Tianci couldn’t imagine any possibility of Su Chen surviving, unless Su Chen could make an on-the-spot breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm; otherwise, it’s a dead end.
But this is clearly impossible.
The Transcendent Realm is extremely difficult to reach; even one hundred Ninth Rank Celestial Human Realm experts may not have one breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm. Otherwise, Transcendent Realm Experts would not be so rare.
As for the Ultimate Dao Realm above the Transcendent Realm, none have ever appeared; it’s only a theoretical realm.
Whoever breaks through to the Ultimate Dao Realm would truly become the ruler of Earth.
Unfortunately, so far, no one has broken through to the Ultimate Dao Realm, so many believe that the Ultimate Dao Realm is only a theory, a legend, and it’s impossible for anyone to break through to the Ultimate Dao Realm.
To get back to the point, Gao Tianci believes Su Chen is finished; there is no other possibility.
Moreover, the frontline is in urgent need of reinforcements, and the National Protector General, Yan Hai, is injured and cannot spare a hand to save him.
Gao Tianci is quite looking forward to killing Su Chen, and he couldn’t help but show a sinister smile.
…………
Speaking of which, Su Chen, after a night of recuperation, has almost completely recovered.
He could actually dual cultivate with Yang Qianxue to restore himself to his peak state, but he didn’t do so because he had to meet with Huang Wuji the next day.
If his injuries were completely healed after just one night, it would be too unnatural and would certainly arouse Huang Wuji’s suspicion.
What was unexpected was that his name was not on the list Gao Tianci submitted!
What’s going on? Gao Tianci didn’t choose him to go to the battlefield?
Su Chen double-checked, and his name really wasn’t on the list.
There’s something fishy about this. Su Chen didn’t relax; instead, he became even more cautious. Gao Tianci is no good person, and their resentment runs deep. Gao Tianci must have some kind of trap waiting for him!
Sure enough, two days later, Su Chen received a mission from Gao Tianci, ordering him to destroy another branch of 【the Heavenly Court】.
And this time, he was personally leading the team.
Su Chen immediately understood. So Gao Tianci had been waiting for him!
