Anyone can make a basic guess about Shang Xia's cultivation and strength due to the noise he made while he was sleeping.
This basic guess does not refer to the at least level of Shang Xia's cultivation, nor does it refer to the at least level of strength...
But it means that every fourth-level warrior from Tongyou Academy will sincerely praise after watching it: "At least he is better than me!"
…………
Shang Xia glanced at Chu Jia strangely, and the laziness in his expression finally subsided a little, and asked: "Is it heavy?"
He asked about Yun Jing's injury.
Chu Jia thought for a while and said: "It's very serious, but it won't hurt her at all. The key is that she still needs to stay at the station and deal with all kinds of disturbances from the outside world, so she can't calm down to recover from the injury."
Shang Xia asked again: "Is the core of the station where you last defended, where my grandfather retreated, also there?"
Chu Jia shook his head and said: "I don't know. Only Deputy Mountain Chief Yun knows about this matter in Manyuzhou. She has not mentioned Deputy Mountain Chief Shang these days. She must be fine."
Shang Xia nodded calmly, feeling slightly relieved, but he always had a feeling that his grandfather's retreat might not necessarily be in this place guarded by a large formation.
Since Yun Jing knew about this matter, Kou Chongxue and Ji Wenlong should also know about it.
Shang Xia asked again: "How are the conditions of the others? What were our casualties in the previous battle? It seems that the situation is not good from your appearance?"
Chu Jia's expression suddenly turned gloomy, and he said: "Including you attacking fourteen fourth-level warriors at Tongyou Station..."
Shang Xia was shocked when he heard this. He sat up from the ground and said: "Slow down, slow down, fourteen fourth-level heavens, are you right? Where did Tongyou Academy get so many fourth-level warriors?"
Although Shang Xia knew that in order to compete for Manyuzhou Continent, Tongyou Academy secretly transferred most of the fourth-level warriors from the academy.
He could even imagine that there might be hidden power of high-level warriors within the academy, but he never expected that Kou Chongxue could actually unleash so many fourth-level warriors on Manyuzhou Continent in one fell swoop.
Regarding Shang Xia's questions, Chu Jia also deeply agreed: "I was extremely surprised when I first heard about these people. Even your fifth uncle, senior Shang Keshang, was very surprised when he met some of them.
I was surprised. According to what he said, Mr. Lu Siyuan and Lu taught in the early days of the college. Later, it was said that he resigned from his teaching position and traveled around the world. There was also Mr. Fang Keweifang, who was said to have died outside, but he didn’t know when.
He was taken to the Tianwai Qionglu by the mountain chief and has been cultivating until now. One of these two is on the second level of the fourth level, and the other is entering the fourth level for the first time. "
Shang Xia nodded and asked, "Is there anyone else?"
Chu Jia replied: "Ji Wenbin, the clan brother of Deputy Chief Ji, was said to have died in the Two Worlds War in his early years; Liu Jikun, the clan brother of the former Deputy Chief Liu, died in the Two Worlds War, and he has never shown up.
.There is also a senior named Yun Shu, who is said to be a son of the Yun family, and has been the personal maid of Deputy Mountain Chief Yun in his early years."
These three are obviously family warriors, or they may be back-up personnel reserved by the Ji, Yun, and Liu families for the sake of family inheritance.
Shang Xia couldn't help but rub his head and said: "Five fourth-level heavens, this is almost the power of a big family, just hidden like this. It seems that several mountain chiefs and deputy mountain chiefs are all old yins."
...So cunning and foresighted!"
Although he thought it was unlikely, Shang Xia couldn't help but ask: "Three of the four major families in Tongyou City have hidden their backhands in Tianwai Qionglu. Do our merchants have any elders who are anonymous?"
Chu Jia resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said as calmly as possible: "No.
have!"
Shang Xia actually nodded, with a serious expression on his face, and said: "That's right, of the four major families in Tongyou City, my Shang family is a junior, and my background is the shallowest, and I am not as good as the other three families."
Chu Jia couldn't help but let out a "haha" and said: "Deputy Mountain Chief Shang, senior Shang Ke, it is said that Shang has another direct clan member living outside who also has the martial arts realm cultivation level, and now you, Shang Xia, are also included.
Mr. Shang, four masters of the fourth heaven. Oh, and there is also a Shang Jian who may break through to the fourth heaven at any time. Oh, the Shang family's background is really 'shallow'!"
"How come you are so familiar with our business?"
Shang Xia made an expression as if he was afraid of you, moved his butt back, and said, "Tell me, what are your plans for our merchant?"
Chu Jia didn't know how many times he rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Please save yourself, who has time to play tricks with you here?"
Shang Xia sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's talk about the casualties this time. I think you are here not just to chat with me, right?"
Chu Jia was very angry when he heard this. It was obviously Shang Xia who had been rambling on and changing the topic, but now he was talking about it, and it was all his own fault.
As the most famous genius formation master of Tongyou Academy, Chu Jia is always the center of attention wherever he goes. How has he ever experienced such idleness?
Thinking that he was his teacher after all, and that the elders were not as knowledgeable as the younger ones, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart, tried his best to control his tone, and said: "In this battle, we killed many aboriginal fourth-level warriors..."
Having said this, she couldn't help but look at Shang Xia. The key to the reversal of this battle lay in Shang Xia and the dozen or so fourth-level talismans he brought...
However, when he thought of those dozen fourth-level martial talismans being used up, even Chu Jia, the great formation master, felt bursts of physical pain. But when he thought about his own losses, he could no longer care about the physical pain. Besides, everyone
He knew that if it weren't for the dozen or so fourth-level martial talismans that Shang Xia threw out in one go, how many of his own high-level warriors would have died in this battle.
Unlike other holy land sects in Cangyu and Cangling, which covet Manyuzhou Continent, Tongyou Academy’s attempt to seize Manyuzhou Continent is almost a desperate move.
Except for the two fifth-level ancestors who are stationed in the Cangyu Realm Tianwai Qionglu ready to respond at any time, it can be said that more than half of the essence of the entire Tongyou Academy has been gathered here at this time.
"...We attacked fourteen fourth-level warriors, but four were killed and four injured."
Even though Chu Jia was such a cold and arrogant person, he couldn't help but feel sad when he said this.
"What?"
Shang Xia's eyes widened and he said, "Four dead? We lost four fourth-level masters in this battle?"
Chu Jia nodded and said: "Yes, the four people who died are the ancient teachings of Neishe, Lu Siyuan of Tianwai, Yun Shu, and Ji Wenbin. Among these four people, only Mr. Lu Siyuan and Lu were on the second level of the fourth level, and the other three
Their cultivation levels are all at the first level of the fourth level."
Among these four people, Shang Xia only knew Gu Shou.
Chu Jia added: "Besides these four, there are four others who were seriously injured, including Liu Zhizhi from the Liu family, Shanglu Bingshang, the manager of the examination department, Fang Kewei from Tianwai Qionglu, and your five
Great uncle Shangke."
Shang Xia suddenly raised his head and said, "How is my fifth grandfather's injury?"
Chu Jiadao: "The injury is actually not too serious, but his Dantian was severely depleted during the battle and his foundation was damaged. If he wants to improve his cultivation in the future, it may be impossible."
Shang Xia said "Hey" with a look of annoyance on his face. He regretted that he should not have separated from Shang Ke in the first place.
If the two of them had been acting together, it would have been impossible for Shang Ke to suffer such a fatal injury.
Although Shang Xia had known for a long time that Shang Ke's foundation accumulation before advancing to the fourth heaven was not deep enough, and it was unlikely that he would achieve higher achievements in the fourth heaven.
But having a glimmer of hope and being completely impossible are two different concepts after all.
"Isn't there any way to do it?"
Shang Xia asked unwillingly.
Chu Jia just shook his head silently.
If it were someone else, there might be some ways to think of it, but Shang Ke himself has little background. It was a bit of a fluke that he was able to advance to the fourth level in the first place. Now, even he himself has simply given up on taking any further steps in the future.
possible, just think about recovering from the injury.
Shang Xia was silent for a moment and then asked: "Can you figure out the reason why the high-level aboriginal warriors secretly colluded?"
Chu Jia shook his head and said: "I can only be sure that there must be connivance and instigation from other forces behind this?"
This is almost nonsense.
Shang Xia asked again: "Has the news ever reached Tianwai Qionglu? What did Chief Kou Shan say?"
"Chief Kou Shan said that the reason may be due to the battle of Yunshuijian. You know the specific experience best."
After Chu Jia recounted Kou Chongxue's words, he stared at Shang Xia intently.
After hearing this, Shang Xia was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "Sure enough, it's because of the 'Linxiao Divine Gang'!"
Chu Jia is also a smart person. He only heard the word "Linxiao Divine Gang" and said: "You took away the 'Linxiao Divine Gang' and it was known to many people. And Deputy Mountain Chief Shang came to Manyuzhou
Since then, Lu has been practicing hard in seclusion and rarely shows up, so they guessed that Deputy Mountain Chief Shang wanted to use the 'Linxiao Divine Gang' to attack the fifth heaven?"
Shang Xia nodded and said: "This is indeed the reason, but not entirely!"
At this time, what emerged in Shang Xia's mind was the conversation between Kou Chongxue and him about the integration of the two worlds when they were at Tianwai Qionglu.
This time Shang Xia did not let Chu Jia ask, so he took the initiative to explain: "Prevent my grandfather from attacking the fifth heaven, using the hands of aboriginal warriors to consume each other with us, weakening our strength, and preventing us from trying to seize Manyuzhou Continent.
Revenge and warning to Chief Kou Shan, etc., the opponent’s goal can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone!"
Having said that, Shang Xia lay back among the auspicious clouds again. Under his somewhat dull eyes, his thoughts were flashing rapidly.
However, Chu Jia looked at Shang Xia, who still looked indifferent, and finally couldn't help scolding him: "Are you just going to sleep here?"
Shang Xia's eyes were blank and he said, "What else are you waiting for?"
Chu Jia said coldly: "The sphere of influence that we controlled by Time Lock in the past two years has now been divided up by others after a great war. If we don't take action, we will only have this area under our feet protected by the formation.
It’s a small area.”
Shang Xia's eyes remained motionless, and he just said: "You shouldn't tell me this, but you should tell Deputy Mountain Chief Yun."
"Deputy Chief Yun just said there is no rush and we will wait until everyone recovers from their injuries."
Shang Xia said: "Deputy Mountain Chief Yun is right."
"But once we recover from our injuries, this huge Manyuzhoulu will really leave us nothing."
"so what?"
Shang Xia's eyes finally regained their divine light: "If the land is lost, everyone will lose the land, and if everyone loses the land, everyone will survive! Besides, who knows that the forces that secretly carved up the area we previously controlled didn't set a trap specifically?
Just wait until you get out of here and then jump in?"
Chu Jiadao: "But what if someone comes to bully me?"
"Um?"
Shang Xia's eyes finally shifted to Chu Jia's face, waiting for her to continue.
