Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan firmly suppressed the Flame King Dragon Beast’s power, maintaining the upper hand in the battle. Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Jiang Chengxuan stood unyielding amidst the sea of fire, repeatedly shaking the heavens and forcing the Flame King Dragon Beast back, pushing it off the protective barrier.

As his final strike sent the volcanic beast staggering, the battlefield fell into a deathly silence. The only sound was the continuous low growls of the Flame King Dragon Beast, its fierce eyes glaring at Jiang Chengxuan but not daring to advance.

Jiang Chengxuan stood alone outside the barrier, holding the Earth Spear of the Vast Earth, his gaze calm and unyielding, dominating the scene. For a long while, he and the Flame King Dragon Beast stared at each other, their auras clashing invisibly, causing ripples and flickers of flame in the void.

“Roar——!”

Finally, realizing it couldn’t find a flaw in Jiang Chengxuan’s defense, the Flame King Dragon Beast let out an unwilling roar, acknowledging its disadvantage. In response, the countless strange beasts began to retreat like a receding tide.

The abrupt first wave of the siege ended as suddenly as it had begun. It had come and gone swiftly, its retreat driven solely by Jiang Chengxuan’s overwhelming strength, subduing the enemy commander before thousands of troops, showcasing a terrifying might.

“Daoist Jiang, your divine might is truly eye-opening!”

“Young Master Shen spoke of you, but seeing you today, I realize you are even more formidable than the legends. I am in awe!”

As Jiang Chengxuan landed, Elder Wan approached him, showering him with praise. Without Jiang Chengxuan’s intervention, the battle would have been much more devastating. Every soldier under Elder Wan’s command was precious, and Jiang Chengxuan had saved many lives, earning Elder Wan’s sincere gratitude.

“Divine might!”

“Divine might!”

“Divine might!”

The soldiers of Twin Peaks City chanted in unison, their admiration for Jiang Chengxuan genuine and heartfelt. The display of his power had thoroughly won them over. Jiang Chengxuan, sensing their sincere respect, could only smile wryly, waving to acknowledge them before signaling to Elder Wan.

Understanding Jiang Chengxuan’s preference for privacy, Elder Wan quieted the soldiers with a gesture, and the camp fell silent, leaving all eyes on Jiang Chengxuan.

“Elder Wan, now that the battle has paused, I have something to discuss with you,” Jiang Chengxuan said.

Elder Wan, recognizing the urgency, led Jiang Chengxuan to a private room in the camp.

“What would you like to discuss, Daoist Jiang? I will answer to the best of my ability,” Elder Wan asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chengxuan replied directly, “I need to know where the city lord is. Can you take me to him? I need to discuss this beast uprising with him and gather more information.”

Clearly, the minor victory in this skirmish did not satisfy Jiang Chengxuan’s strategic vision. He knew this was just the first wave of the beast army’s assault. As long as the beast army was not utterly defeated, many more waves of attacks would follow. Jiang Chengxuan’s focus was not on defending a single battlefield, as its influence on the overall situation was minimal.

His main goal was to find the location of the city lord of Twin Peaks City. Elder Wan was surprised by this request but quickly understood Jiang Chengxuan’s reasoning. While it would be beneficial for him if Jiang Chengxuan stayed, he knew they could not contain such a powerful ally. Refusing Jiang Chengxuan was not an option.

After some deliberation, Elder Wan wrote a note, infusing it with spiritual energy to leave a message, and handed it to Jiang Chengxuan. “The city lord is currently at the Zhen Su Battlefront. If you wish to go, it would be most beneficial. Please deliver this battle report as well; it might help you.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded in gratitude, bowing to Elder Wan. He knew this battle report detailed his recent fight with the Flame King Dragon Beast, serving both as a token and a testament to his strength. This would ensure he was taken seriously upon arrival at the city lord’s location.@@novelbin@@

“Time is of the essence. Farewell, Elder Wan. Take care,” Jiang Chengxuan said.

Without delay, Jiang Chengxuan transformed into a streak of light, leaving the battlefield under the watchful and regretful eyes of the soldiers. His destination clear, he navigated through Twin Peaks City, using the teleportation halls, and quickly arrived at the Zhen Su Battlefront.

The defenses and soldier presence here were significantly stronger, reflecting its strategic importance. As Jiang Chengxuan advanced, a heavily armored soldier stopped him. “This is a war zone. Please show your token.”

With the Unparalleled Order, Jiang Chengxuan faced no obstacles, swiftly making his way to the outer walls. Here, the air was thick with the remnants of recent battles, the spiritual energy wild and intense.

“Daoist Jiang, you’ve ascended to the Immortal Realm? Congratulations! Truly wonderful news!” The city lord of Twin Peaks City appeared, his voice hearty and welcoming.

Jiang Chengxuan was soon surrounded by numerous figures, their auras powerful and their gazes filled with surprise and curiosity.

“City Lord, it’s good to see you well. I heard of the front-line battles and came to offer my support. I hope I didn’t overstep,” Jiang Chengxuan said, smiling as he bowed to the city lord.

“Not at all! Your assistance is a blessing to Twin Peaks City! Please, come in!” The city lord, overjoyed, personally escorted Jiang Chengxuan to the camp, introducing him to the gathered officers.

As the city lord read Elder Wan’s battle report, his face lit up with joy. He shared the report with the others, who reacted with a mix of surprise and admiration. The contents elevated Jiang Chengxuan’s status among them, earning their respect.

“Heh, it seems Daoist Jiang has already done us a great service before even arriving here,” the city lord praised, fully aware of Elder Wan’s reliability. The report confirmed Jiang Chengxuan’s formidable strength, far surpassing a newly ascended immortal.
