Chapter 42 The new divine script of the paper-thinner also needs to be submitted for approval.
"This is the difference between fantasy worlds and low-level martial arts worlds! In fantasy worlds, brute force is the main focus, and those in power don't use their brains much."
Of course, when the strength of the two sides in a battle is not much different, and the battle has reached a certain point of intensity, if there is no absolutely calm strategist like Zhuge Liang or Li Jing to oversee the army, then the generals who are hot-headed in the battle will definitely be full of fighting spirit and only want to keep charging forward to hold off the battle...
Under such circumstances, the fact that other second-tier sects did not attempt to annex the Cloud Cauldron Sect is indeed a testament to the efforts of the first-tier sects.
It's certain that the three top-tier sects only want a tripartite balance of power and are unwilling to produce another top-tier sect to compete for resources!
So this time... I must obey the summons first!
Even the usually composed Qiao Bendu spoke up, bewildered: "I've heard about this history. I've also heard that once a top-level summons is received, every disciple within a thousand miles must drop their current task and return to the sect immediately. Those who don't return..."
He paused several times, his voice revealing fear and helplessness: "It will be considered treason!"
Wang Yan sensed his inner worry, and then looked at Lu Hongming, who was equally worried, Jiang Linyue, whose eyebrows were twisted into knots, Di Nan, and the three very nervous Wei, Li, and Huo. After a moment's thought, he suddenly raised his voice.
"Senior brothers, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. It's useless for us low-level disciples to worry too much."
"Moreover, given the current unclear situation, instead of overthinking it, we should focus on doing our own jobs well."
"If a sect is truly in danger of being destroyed, the sect leader would secretly inform the outstanding disciples who are training outside to postpone their return to the sect, find a place to hide, and return to the sect to recover their strength after the situation has eased."
"The reason we're calling everyone back now is because we still have the strength to continue fighting, and we want to fight to the death with the others."
Seeing Lu Hongming and Qiao Bendu both startled and then look at him with surprise, Wang Yan calmly explained, "That's how it is in our village. If an extremely powerful mystical beast is coming, the village chief will definitely take out some of the stored grain and let us children hide first."
"That's right!" Huo Erdan immediately slapped his thigh in realization. "That's exactly it! So, right now we should just be gathering manpower to provide support."
Seeing the slight shame in Lu Hongming and Qiao Bendu's eyes after their sudden realization, Wang Yan sincerely suggested, "How about this, since Di Nan and I haven't received any summons, the two of us will be in charge of the airship's flight."
"Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Qiao, Lin Yue, you should take good care of yourselves first! If you are indeed transferred somewhere, what you need most is to maintain your best condition to deal with any changes that may occur at any time."
"If anything unexpected happens, the five of us will need the protection of the three of you. So you must get plenty of rest."
Perhaps it was Wang Yan's composure and analysis that boosted everyone's confidence.
The tension on Wei and Li's faces quickly turned into realization, and they stopped looking so dejected. They nodded in agreement: "Yes, cousin, you're only at the Profound Breakthrough Realm. There are elders and protectors above you!"
"The elders are so strong, they will definitely be able to hold out."
The fear and tension in everyone's hearts seemed to have lessened considerably, replaced by more fighting spirit and curiosity. Lu Hongming looked at the very calm and sincere Wang Yan with a strange expression, then exchanged a glance with Qiao Bendu, and finally a slight change appeared on his tense face.
"Junior Brother Wang is right. We do need to relax and adjust now."
Jiang Linyue took a deep breath, then calmly looked at Di Nan: "Junior Brother Di, I'll leave the airship to you and Wang Yan. I'm going to take a nap!"
……
Over the next half-cup of tea's time, the identity badges of Lu Hongming, Qiao Bendu, and Jiang Linyue continuously emitted yellow and green mystical lights.
It was the other inner disciples who were on good terms with them asking each other questions.
Unfortunately, everyone was completely baffled and couldn't find out any inside information.
However, Wang Yan had already pieced together a small number of clues from their discussion.
These days, the procurement tasks for the three auxiliary inner peaks have tripled, and the number of airships used for transportation has increased several times.
The quality of all kinds of pills and equipment materials required for the Profound Breakthrough Realm and the Condensation Realm has been lowered from excellent to good.
Moreover, as soon as pills and equipment are produced, they are gathered together and sent away.
Zhan Tianfeng's training tasks have doubled, and many disciples in the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm have been sent out to provide support.
"The sect has been sending supplies out recently. No wonder the workload at the gathering and drying yards has increased."
"As long as there are no frequent reports of disciples dying at Zhantian Peak, the situation is still under control."
Therefore, the expressions of Lu, Jiang, and Qiao gradually changed from solemn and serious to full of fighting spirit as they were about to go to the battlefield.
At this moment, Wang Yan's identity plaque suddenly lit up with a yellow light.
Wang Yan's heart tightened. Yellow light represented a warning!
Seeing Lu Hongming and the others looking at him in surprise, Wang Yan also activated the communication screen of his identity badge, completely bewildered.
It was a message sent by Steward Qiu.
"Di Nan's experimental mission should have been canceled. He's probably bringing you and Huo Erdan back now, right? After you return to the sect, go to the Divine Inscription Hall immediately. Grandmaster Deng specifically asked you to apply for the Divine Inscription for papermaking! Once you apply, our entire paper-drying field will need it to make paper!"
Wang Yan's heart sank, and her fingers unconsciously clenched.
Huo Erdan curiously leaned over to take a look, then immediately widened his leopard-like eyes in alarm and exclaimed, "Ah! Didn't they say before that the sect leader didn't agree to use all of yours? Does that mean that Grandmaster Deng has more power than the sect leader?"
No, it's Master Deng who's backed by Master Qin, the most senior and strongest figure in the entire sect.
Perhaps the people of Fire Refining Peak leaked this information to Grandmaster Deng because their sect leader disagreed, hoping to save time in making talismans and increase the success rate!
In other words, the sect now needs a large number of battle talismans!
Wang Yan felt as if a stone was pressing on his heart, causing him more worry than joy.
The fact that his application for the Divine Script on the Condensed Paper Skin was allowed to be widely promoted under these circumstances suggests that the sect's combat situation outside the sect is not very optimistic.
Of course, since Deng Jianghui specifically asked him to go, in order to help the sect turn the tide... well, and incidentally improve his sea of consciousness, Wang Yan was definitely willing to go.
However, Wang Yan still reminded the astonished Huo Erdan, "Don't overthink it, just do as we're told!"
He quickly replied on the screen that everything was fine. Seeing that Lu Hongming and the other two had begun to regulate their breathing and their identity badges had returned to silence, he focused on steering the ship and returned along the original route.
Along the way, they kept encountering other inner sect airships returning, and their speeds were all twice as fast as when they left!
Half an hour later, he piloted the airship back to the sect, took over the operation from Di Nan, dropped off the four second-level spirit sprouts at the Divine Inscription Hall, and then flew straight towards the inner sect.
Watching the airship quickly ascend and disappear into the air in the blink of an eye, Wang Yan, Huo, Wei, and Li steadied themselves and bravely approached the guards on duty.
After all, the last time these level-two spirit sprouts tried to go in, they were warned by the guards with their eyes.
"Will they stop us again this time?" Wang Yan wondered, feeling conflicted.
