However, no one was interested in the Sword Sect's Young Master.
This situation is quite funny.
There are reasons why everyone does this.
As long as you take a quick look back at Lu Qingshan's battle record, you will know that this Lu Shaozong's actual combat power is seriously inconsistent with his cultivation level.
Although he looks like a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm, if he were to be paired with a cultivator at the Spirit Transformation Realm, he wouldn't even be qualified to be a pendant.
Not to mention the effect of one plus one being greater than two, it's just a complete burden.
Of course, this is not the main problem.
The dignified Zhulong Palace has countless powerful cultivators. The worst that can happen is that they can pair this Young Master Lu with a cultivator at the fusion stage.
They still have this amount of manpower.
The real problem is that Lu Qingshan's status is too high.
The young master of the Sword Sect, currently the youngest and most outstanding genius of the human race.
Teaming up with such a being would be very stressful for anyone.
And there is also a very realistic question: if you encounter danger, how should you deal with it?
It seems that there is no choice but to sacrifice his life to protect Lu Qingshan.
Because compared with the life of a Candle Dragon Palace cultivator and the life of the Sword Sect's young master, it goes without saying which is more important.
If you don't do this, and something happens to Lu Qingshan but you return safely, how will you explain to the Sword Sect?
The good thing about sword combination is matching, at most there is a distinction between primary and secondary.
But if this is really the case, then it's not really a combination at all. It's just like a "young master traveling with his guards".
Everyone cherishes his life, and everyone has his own pride.
No one wants to be someone else's bodyguard.
As a result, everyone respected Lu Qingshan but kept their distance from him.
Lu Qingshan looked around and saw that no one had given him the signal to form a team, so he spread his hands and prepared to go alone.
Not only did he not resist working alone, he even wanted it. After all, for sword cultivators, working alone was their most accustomed style, not to mention that Lu Qingshan had so many secrets that he was unwilling to reveal to outsiders.
He said: "In this case, I will..."
Before he could even utter the word "alone", a gentle voice suddenly interrupted, "Brother Qingshan, let's team up."
Everyone turned their eyes over.
The speaker was an equally young, thin monk in a black robe, with a gentle, gem-like aura.
Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows.
Mo Yan.
"Although I am not as accomplished as Brother Qingshan in battle, I am still confident that I can help Brother Qingshan." Mo Yan said with a smile to Lu Qingshan.
Lu Qingshan was silent for a moment.
He has achieved his current level of cultivation by relying on various encounters, "Deep Blue" and the natural talent of swordsmanship, which cannot be replicated by others, so people of the same generation as him have long been left far behind by him.
But if there is anyone who can barely catch up with his progress in cultivation, Mo Yan must be one of them.
Because Mo Yan also possesses a legendary talent - Burning Body!
The Burning Body is different from Lin Yao's Phantom Body Divine Vein. It is a thorough talent for cultivation and combat.
As long as he has the strange fire, Mo Yan can achieve rapid progress in his cultivation and combat power in a short period of time.
The sect that Mo Yan belongs to happens to be the Zhulong Palace, the world's number one fire sect.
His master is one of the founders of the Candle Dragon Hall.
With all these conditions combined, it can be imagined that although Mo Yan's strength at this time is not as good as his, it is definitely not weaker.
After all, Lu Qingshan knew Mo Yan's character very well.
This is a very gentle and introverted monk, who would only say eight out of ten. Since he dared to say that he had the confidence to help me, it meant that he really had something in hand.
Lu Qingshan had no reason to refuse.
No matter how outstanding he is, he is just a stronger ant in this war. It is always good to have an assistant with similar strength. He should not act alone.
So, Lu Qingshan smiled and said to Mo Yan: "Then let's team up. To be honest, this is not the first time we have worked together."
They had previously worked together on Jiaolong Island.
Mo Yan clasped his fists and said, "It's an honor."
…
On this day, a large number of cultivators circled over Yishui River for a while, then dived into the sky and rushed towards the western front.
As for the cross-domain teleportation array at Yishui Terrace, apart from hastily setting up a defensive array and leaving a symbolic number of people to guard it, the Sword Sect no longer cared about it.
First, there are people who are prepared to support Zhong Ling, and they should have come long ago.
Those who are not prepared will not come no matter how long we guard this cross-domain teleportation array.
The second reason is that Zhong Ling currently needs manpower everywhere and does not have the spare energy to guard a magic circle.
However, the Sword Sect would not do such a stupid thing as cutting off its own retreat.
Jian Zong had secretly brought the formation master of the Yan family under his command to Zhongling and chosen a secret place to have them secretly build a new cross-domain teleportation formation.
This takes some time, but it is necessary - at least it ensures that the monks who go on the Western Expedition have a way to return home.
…
The first thing the middle-level spiritual monks did after the demons entered the territory was to clear the teleportation arrays in each city, find the key nodes, and quickly integrate a complete "wartime transportation system."
A very prescient decision.
Judging from the response made by the Zhongling monks in just two days, although the most elite group of Zhongling monks died in Longcheng Pass, Zhongling is by no means lacking in brave and wise monks.
This is a good thing.
At least at this time, the "wartime transportation system" greatly facilitated the movement of reinforcements.
In less than a day, the reinforcements from the three regions used a teleportation array to rush from Yishui, millions of miles away, to the western front of Zhongling, where the war was raging.
Youzhou is the third state on the line from west to east in Zhongling.
The first two states were Mangzhou and Lizhou, which had already fallen at this time.
The demons came suddenly and fiercely, and no matter how quickly the human race reacted, they were unable to mount an effective resistance in the first place.
Therefore, the first decision made by the Zhongling monk was to strategically abandon Mangzhou and Lizhou in exchange for two precious days.
This is a cruel decision, but it is the best decision that can be made under the current circumstances.
At this time, Youzhou was also suffering from the invasion of demons, and there were only three cities still under the control of humans.
They are Tiger Head City, Ox Horn City and Horseshoe City.
These three cities, stretched from north to south, formed a 10,000-kilometer-long defense line, blocking the demon army.
The demons must either bypass these three cities or take them by force.
Getting around it is not realistic.
The demons' attacks so far have been conducted in a straight line.
If they bypass it, the battle line will be stretched several times, and they must always be on guard against surprise attacks from the rear by the monks from the three cities.
Therefore, we can only attack by force.
At this moment, the number of monks gathered in these three cities has exceeded one million.
Not only that, a large number of monks are rushing in from the rear every day to participate in this war, and supplies are being transported in continuously without any stinginess.
To the west of the three cities, powerful demon armies are also accumulating.
When they arrived here, a large number of reinforcements, led by the three masters of the Sword Sect, Gu Qiu, Ning Fengchen and Li Shiyi, were divided into three groups and headed for the three cities.
One person is responsible for a city.
As for Lu Qingshan.
According to Xie Qingyun's instructions, the group of veteran sword practitioners and young "babies" he brought from the Sword Sect are still led by him.
And it is not their turn to guard the three cities.
This group of monks are called patrol, mobile, or logistics personnel.
What they have to do is to patrol the rear areas of the three cities of Hutou, Mati and Niujiao.
This was because the demon army was too large. On one hand, they launched an attack on the three cities head-on. On the other hand, they also sent a large number of men to bypass the defense lines of the three cities and sneak into the rear area.
A defense line of ten thousand miles is the best that the human race can do at this moment.
If it is extended any further, there will not be enough manpower and strength.
If you try to defend against everything, you will end up being unable to defend against anything.
Therefore, although the human cultivators were aware of this small number of demon cultivators who bypassed the defense line and entered the rear area, they were helpless.
Of course, this small number of demon cultivators who entered the rear area of ​​the human race would not have the ability to destroy the human race’s defense line by coordinating internal and external forces.
But their purpose is very simple.
Aren’t you human monks supposed to evacuate the mortals?
We don't ask for anything else, we just want to cause trouble, to attack your evacuated team, and to disgust you.
If you don't care, the evacuation work will not be able to proceed smoothly.
You try to manage it, but it seems like you can't handle it.
Although this small group of demon cultivators are not very powerful, their number is not small, numbering tens of thousands. However, if they are scattered across tens of millions of miles of the western territory of Zhongling, they are not worth mentioning.
These demon cultivators hide in the dark and come out to launch sneak attacks from time to time. How can human cultivators control them?
Even if they are caught, it will not be a big loss for the demons.
Because these demon cultivators whose strength does not exceed the eighth level are nothing more than consumables to the high-level demons.
Spending some worthless consumables to give the human race a headache is definitely a profit in the eyes of the demon clan's top leaders.
According to Lu Qingshan's previous life, this style of fighting is called guerrilla warfare.
It won't hurt your bones, but it's really disgusting, like a thorn in your throat, making you feel uncomfortable.
Lu Qingshan's mission was to solve this problem.
Sword cultivators are very fast and are most suitable for patrol duties.
When Lu Qingshan and Mo Yan arrived at Langwei City in Juzhou, Langwei City had already become a busy transit station.
Countless flying boats transit here, and the bustling crowds of people make it extremely noisy, a hundred times noisier than the busiest vegetable market.
"Mortals coming from Leopard Print City, please gather at Area B and take the flying boat to the next city, Lion Heart City... Repeat, mortals coming from Leopard Print City, please gather at Area B and take the flying boat to the next city, Lion Heart City..."
A monk was giving orders loudly.
His voice was already hoarse.
This kind of situation should not have happened to a monk who is invulnerable to swords and guns and immune to cold and heat.
The reason for this is that in order to make his voice spread, he mobilized spiritual power in his voice, and that spiritual power continued to rush into the monk's throat, which over time caused his throat to become strained like an injury.
The flying boats and monks shuttling back and forth in the sky were like a swarm of fish crossing the river, forming a black mass.
This is a spectacular sight that many people have never seen in their lifetime.
The flying boat is an evacuation boat.
Although the speed of the teleportation array is the fastest, the cost is too high. With such a large number of humans evacuated, even if the resources of Zhongling were emptied, it might not be able to afford the loss of spirit stones for teleportation.
Therefore, evacuation can only be done by flying boat.
As for the countless monks, they are "volunteers" who came from all over Zhongling.
They are not strong enough to fight the demons head-on, but they can still contribute their strength.
That is to be responsible for logistics work in the rear.
The human race needs to evacuate hundreds of millions of people from the western part of Zhongling to the eastern area behind the Changye Mountains. Even with flying boats and the help of countless monks, it will still take a long time.
During this period of time, we have to rely on the monks in the three cities on the front line to fight for it.
…
Outside Wolf Tail City.
Mo Yan held in his hand a white square token that he had just received.
On the front of the token was the word "Xun" (patrol), and on the back was a rather complicated map, depicting fourteen cities within a radius of thousands of miles.
"This is a communication token urgently made by Zhongling. As long as there are demons in the area of ​​​​the fourteen cities that attack the flying boat, the cultivators there will immediately send out a distress signal, and our token will be sensed, and we need to rush to the rescue as quickly as possible." He said.
Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
The patrol range is determined by the flying speed of each patrolling monk to ensure that each monk can arrive in time.
If the patrol area is too large, beyond the scope that the patrolling monks can take care of, when the patrolling monks receive the distress signal and rush over with great effort, the battle may have already ended by the time they arrive, and they can only collect the bodies instead of providing support.
The patrol area of ​​ordinary Divine Transformation cultivators is usually two to three cities.
Only Lu Qingshan, a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm, patrolled an area as wide as fourteen cities.
Such a wide patrol area is rare even among the combined cultivators.
From this perspective, Mo Yan had a new understanding of Lu Qingshan's strength.
…
Patrol work is boring.
Because they can only passively wait for the demons to appear.
And if he was lucky, there might not be a single case of demon attack in the area he was patrolling from beginning to end.
This made Lu Qingshan very uninterested.
Now that he was here, he could only watch the show from the rear. When he thought about the war at the front line, it was really depressing for Lu Qingshan, who was good at fighting and killing.
This is exactly what Xie Qingyun wants.
However, both Lu Qingshan and Xie Qingyun seemed to have forgotten one thing...
Looking back at the history of the rise of powerful people since ancient times, we can find a pattern, that is, in the process of his cultivation, few of those who got involved with him had a good ending.
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
A powerful person must have great luck, and will inevitably encounter great opportunities full of dangers - without opportunities, how can one grow?
For those with great luck, they can often turn misfortune into good fortune and seize opportunities.
Those unknown passers-by who do not have great luck but happen to be mixed up with those with great luck can only be responsible for being unlucky cannon fodder.
Lu Qingshan is undoubtedly a man of great luck - if even he is not considered to have good luck, who else can be considered to have good luck?
The only difference is that the person staying with him this time is Mo Yan who has a burning body.
He is also a person of great luck.
What exactly happens when two people of great luck collide?
Nobody knows.
But it will definitely not be smooth sailing.
