Chapter 470: Every Country Gathered
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
In this period of time, every country was under a great deal of stress. There would be a fight every other day in major cities.
If it was just that, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal. But the damage caused by their fights was akin to having the city bombarded with missiles! The military could only follow behind them to clean up their butts. All the damage was reported as terrorist attacks.
During this time, a small city with over 300,000 civilians had been completely destroyed in the battle between the vampire half-demons and the Church.
If they had not managed to keep their cool, England would have really disregarded everything and directly called for nuclear attacks!
China was the country that was the most stressed currently. Their existing experts were already scary enough, but now, the experts from every country in the world were also gathering here!
China had no ways of stopping this development. They directly opened their doors and allowed them to enter.
There wasn’t any other choice. There were too many ways for those powerful Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts to enter the country. Rather than have these people come in through some unknown methods, they might as well let them in through the front door.
Doing so would at least allow the country to keep track of these people’s movements. At this moment, several large airports had stopped their service to the public in order to usher in the numerous experts.
Over a hundred military helicopters had been parked on the spacious airport strips.
Soon, the sight of numerous private planes could be seen on the horizon. While China did not stop these people from entering their territory, the other countries in the world did not stop their departure from their home country.
Everyone could not wait to send these scourges away, the further the better. It also just so happened that China’s lands were incredibly vast. The moment the different states heard that the blister that’d been afliciting them was leaving for China, their governments directly arranged for private planes and personally sent them off. Only when they saw that these people landed in China were they able to loose a breath of relief.
On this day, the internet was filled with all kinds of news about the matter. Many people had planned their trips, only to find out that the major airports in China had all closed down and their flights were cancelled. In a moment of panic, all kinds of rumors were spread through the internet.
“The way I see it, the magnetic field of the earth must have changed, causing the planes not to be able to take off. It’ll probably take a few days for them to readjust, and it’ll be fine.”
“That can’t be. We’re outside the airport right now, and there’re clearly planes landing and taking off!”
Everyone was discussing fervently.
“The same situation is happening all over the world. Only a scarce few airports can be used. According to some insider news, the cause seems to be a big event happening in the east! All the big characters in the world has rushed to the east already.”
One post was pushed to the top, and the content appeared to be extremely legit.
But in just a few minutes, while everyone was still discussing fervently, the entire group was suddenly evicted from the forum. And when they tried to log in again, the entire site had actually been shut down!
A large transport aircraft hummed loudly as it approached from the horizon. The transport plane was enormously huge, and even a heavy truck with more than a dozen tires was like a little child in front of it.
“Ang!”
A domineering roar that sounded like both a dragon and a tiger rang out, causing everyone to furrow their brows.
Some of the weaker ordinary people felt as if they’d been smashed in the head with a hammer, causing their eyes to spin.
As soon as the transport plane’s doors opened, a two-meter-thick and over 100 meter long golden snake slithered out, its dark golden eyes sweeping icily across the area.
On the airfield, large numbers of people from numerous countries had gathered. It wasn’t just Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts that were here. There was a great number of late or peak stage Xiantian experts, as well as Fake Dan experts present as well.
At this moment, an eagle-nosed white man snorted coldly and said, “Harper, you’d best keep an eye on that little fellow of yours. If it continues looking at me like that, I don’t mind adding an extra item to my menu tonight.”
Although his words were spoken softly, they strangely spread through the entire area.
A messy-looking old man hobbled down slowly from the plane with one hand leaning heavily against a cane. At the same time, he eyed the 30 cm tall snow white eagle on the eagle-nosed man’s shoulder.
“Hehe, if you dare to touch my snake, I’ll eat your eagle!”
Similar conflicts arose as over a hundred Controlled Dan realm experts landed on the airport. Adding in the people each expert brought with them, there were over 500 people present!
When added together, the strength of these 500 people could directly take over a small- to medium-sized country!
But to a superpower like China, this amount of cultivators was still not enough to threaten them. If they really set their minds to it, not to mention 500 people, they would slaughter even 1,000 or 10,000!
Very quickly, the large number of military helicopters rose into the air and flew towards Hangu Pass with great speed.
Bei Feng’s group had also arrived at Hangu Pass after a lengthy flight, landing at a temporary campsite set up in the area.
All the Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts still alive had already gathered together. To Bei Feng’s surprise, the people he’d seen on the last mission weren’t the full force of the country’s Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts. With just a simple glance, he discovered that there were actually over 80 Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts present!
“Interesting, there’re actually a few people on the same level as Ling Xu. How unexpected,” Bei Feng mumbled and smiled, not minding it at all. In a fight, he did not fear any of them at all. Unless he was being surrounded.
“Haha, Fellow Daoist Bei Feng, I see that you’re a little late! May I know who this gentlemen is?”
Ling Xu smiled and greeted Bei Feng in a pretentious manner as he turned his eyes onto Wang Wuyou. He naturally knew who Wang Wuyou was, but for the sake of courtesy, he still feigned ignorance and asked.
“This King is called Wang Wuyou,” Wang Wuyou said blandly without any expression on his face.
As soon as he spoke, a huge aura surged out of his body, causing even Ling Xu to feel greatly pressured. The other experts also looked over with shocked expressions.
“Fellow Daoists, this way, please.”
Ling Xu did not continue probing Wang Wuyou and directly led everyone into an oversized tent.
This time, the 12 Kunlun Devils were not dressed in their black robes anymore. In their group, there were three women and nine men. All of them looked old and wizened. Among the crowd, the number of people with middle-aged looks was only around 10. As for people with looks in their youth, Bei Feng was the only one.
“The Qin Emperor mausoleum has not moved to this place yet, but it’ll appear within the next month. In this period of time, there will be many outsiders arriving as well. I hope that everyone can work together and control each other.”
Ling Xu cupped his fists as he implored the crowd.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded lightly. At this crucial point, the most important thing was to secure the passage out.
“What’s the situation like in Japan?” someone asked, his aged voice filled with killing intent.
“I heard that the group that’s preparing to leave with us is being suppressed by the party that wants to stay. Should we go over and give them a hand?” an old woman added. Her tone was heavy, and seemed to carry some anxiousness. [1]
“No need. Someone’s already been sent to handle the issue. Fa Wang has already led a group of people over, and the matter should have already been settled now. My guess is that they’ll be back here today,” Ling Xu directly added.
“So that’s the case. If Fa Wang is personally leading people over, the matter there should
Everyone nodded and did not continue asking. From the looks of it, this Fa Wang was quite well known and feared by the crowd.
Hangu Pass was situated right before the campsite. Looking at it from their vantage point, it seemed exceptionally majestic, and caused one to feel as if they were looking at the rising winds sweeping through the towers, heralding a rising storm in the mountains 1 .
The pass’s walls had been restored in some parts and maintained many times throughout the years. However, they still carried an ancient aura, filled with history and the many vicissitudes of life.
With the rise of the modern era of warfare, Hangu Pass had turned into a point in history and a tourist attraction. Countless people would come here to vist every day, especially during the current autumn season. The weather was cool and it was the most comfortable period for traveling.
Recently, the entire 100 li area around Hangu Pass was turned into a restricted military area. Armed guards patrolled the area in shifts 24 hours a day.
At this time, the campsite had been split into many sections, with a large area for the experts from the other countries.
And in Japan, countless Japanese military soldiers were rushing up Mt Fuji.
Along the waist of the mountain, a huge fight had broken out in an enormous mansion.
To be able to build such a large mansion on the side of Mt Fuji, the owner’s power and influence was obvious.
About a dozen Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were flying through the mansion, reaping lives like a group of death gods.
An old lama who looked Tibetan stood in the air, looking down at the grand battle expressionlessly.
“Lord Fa Wang, they’re all dead.” A black-robed man pulled out a queerly shaped huge sword from the body of an old man and flew upwards to report to the old lama.
If the people from the martial world could see this scene, they would probably all be scared to death. The limp body of the old man that lay under the black-robed man’s feet was actually the famed Sword Saint from several generations ago in Japan!
His cultivation had reached the late stage of the Controlled Dan realm, but he’d still been killed within a hundred moves against the black-robed man.
“En, it’s time to leave.”
The old lama nodded and looked disconcernedly at the soldiers running up the mountain.
The dozen black-robed men behind him did not say anything and followed behind the old lama, quickly departing from the area.
In Thailand, a hundred zhang tall elephant that seemed to have been cast from pure gold strode across the ocean, an old man sitting on its neck!
In India, a group monks had begun their journey towards China.
The other largest Indian religion’s followers were also making their way over. While many people believed that India’s largest religion was Buddhism, that was not the actual case.
Over 80 percent of the people there believed in Hinduism, while only a mere six percent were Buddhists.
The strongest experts from India were of the Brahmin caste and the Kshatriya people. The Brahmin were nobles in Hinduism specializing as priests, teachers and protectors of sacred learning across generations. They were mainly masters in theocracy and divination, and had the monopoly on culture. They were also relied upon to predict the agricultural seasons, and had the highest status in society.
The Kshatriya was a military aristocrat of the Aryans, including bureaucrats at all levels below the king. They held positions of power on all matters of the state except in theocracy!
The Brahmin had the least number of experts, but they all had all kinds of strange and unique powers, causing others to turn fearful upon hearing them!
On the other hand, the Kshatriya people were mainly body cultivators, and their strength was great beyond compare.
In the blink of an eye, 10 days passed. The number of people that’d gathered outside Hangu Pass had grown to over 10,000!
These 10,000 people were the top of the pyramid characters in the world, and the lowest cultivation among them was Xiantian late stage!
The experts from all the great countries in the world had rushed over; the few minorities that were not willing to come had all been killed. The gathering of this 10,000 people was enough to cause even a superpower country to feel extremely nervous.
Without any exaggerations, if the resources and assets of these 10,000 people were all added together, they could establish a new powerful country by themselves!
But although wealth and position could allow them to lead a more comfortable life, these experts’ interest did not lie in that direction. Right now, everyone was pursuing the same thing—a longer lifespan!
Just the 200 or 400 years of lifespan granted by their cultivation was not enough to satisfy these martial cultivators. Everyone had tasted the sweetness of breaking through and attaining greater power. In addition, a higher cultivation meant a longer lifespan!
