The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 476: Chapter 472: Golden Spear and Iron Horse_1

In March, when peaches and pears were blossoming beautifully, the Emperor unexpectedly issued an edict instructing Wei Zhan to go to Beijing, and later armed himself to lead the troops to the northern border to resist the bandits from Jin Country.

Yingbao left her daughter, Nuannuan, in the care of her mother-in-law and accompanied Wei Zhan to the frontier.

At this time, the iron cavalry of Jin Country was unstoppable, advancing southward, and captured several cities before they finally arrived beneath the walls of Yanzhou City.

Yingbao stood on the city wall, holding a bow and arrow. She slowly drew her bow fully, aiming her iron-fletched arrow at the chariot positioned in the center of the cavalry.

Xiao Mo and she looked at each other from a distance, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

Yingbao squinted her eyes but didn’t release the arrow because the distance was too great. Her bow and arrow were mundane, and even if she infused her divine power, she wouldn’t be able to hit Xiao Mo.

She slowly lowered her bow and waited for the attack from Jin Country, or rather, for Xiao Mo to advance.

Suddenly, the horn of the Jin Ren resounded, and countless people rushed forward carrying their cloud ladders. Those carrying the ladders were all commoners from the Central Plains, who had been captured by Jin Country.

“Despicable! Shameless!” someone shouted angrily.

Yingbao just watched silently, commanding the archers to prepare.

One by one, the ladders were raised and placed against the city wall.

The archers did not move. They awaited her command.

Suddenly, the Jin Ren made their move. They spurred their horses forward, forcing the commoners to climb the ladders.

Yingbao waved her hand: “Fire!”

A rainfall of arrows descended, instantly killing a batch of Jin soldiers.

The remaining Jin soldiers had no choice but to retreat, yelling at the city wall.

The terrified surviving commoners at the foot of the city wall huddled together closely, too afraid to move.

For a moment, both sides were at a stalemate.

Only then did Yingbao command her men to use long-handled iron forks to topple over the ladders one by one.

Suddenly, she saw Xiao Mo’s chariot slowly emerging from the middle of the troops, standing at the front of the Jin soldiers. He quickly formed hand seals and a brilliant radiance flowed from his fingertips. Instantly, the sky changed color, and a huge lightning bolt appeared from the sky, striking the city gate tower.

With a crack, the city gate tower crumbled to dust, damaging parts of the city wall in the process.

The Jin soldiers cheered, shouting “Long live the Heavenly God” and “Long live the State Preceptor”.

As the second bolt of lightning was about to strike, the dark clouds dispersed quickly revealing the clear, blue sky.

Jin soldiers: …

Just as they were shocked, someone shouted, “Run…”

Before the words fell, several bolts of lightning roamed among the Jin iron cavalry, striking down like golden dragons.

In a matter of seconds, nearly half of the Jin iron cavalry fell.

The remaining cavalry and horses were thrown into chaos, trampling over each other. Their battle formation became a mess.

Seeing this, Wei Zhan was overjoyed and immediately ordered the city gates to be opened. He led more than a thousand cavalry out to fight the enemy.

For a moment, the battlefield was filled with clashing of weapons and the flying of flesh and blood.

Xiao Mo was already on a hill somewhere, calmly observing the mortal warfare below him.

“Is this the result you wanted?” Yingbao, in her silver armor, slowly approached riding a black warhorse.

Xiao Mo looked at her indifferently and said, “They’re just a bunch of ants. Yingbao, come back with me. This place is not suitable for us to stay.”

Yingbao’s eyes were cold. “Xiao Mo, why do you want me to come back? Is it because your Xiao Family is running out of dragon blood to refine pills? Or do you want to take my divine pills again to help the one you love to advance?”

After she had integrated most of the Divine Pupils, her memories from the upper world slowly returned.

When she was young and ignorant, she was deceived onto the Fairy Mountain, where she entered the Wuji Sect and became Xiao Mo’s disciple.

She thought she finally escaped heaven and avoided the pursuit of the Chen Family and the Xiao Family. But what awaited her was a huge conspiracy.

Xiao Mo had indeed spent a lot of spiritual medicine on himself, which had allowed her to advance rapidly. Little did she know, he would drug her every month, discreetly severing her meridians and letting out a bowl-sized amount of her blood.

If it hadn’t been for Xuanwu witnessing this and quietly alerting her, she might have revered Xiao Mo as a respected master for a lifetime.

Looking back, she was such a fool back then, sold off and still helping count the money.

Latterly, Xuanwu covertly followed Xiao Mo and discovered that he was using Yingbao’s blood to create a physical body for an ordinary woman, allowing her to undergo a rebirth and step into the path of becoming a fairy. Afterwards, he planned to extract Yingbao’s divine elixir and use it to advance the woman’s cultivation.

So Xuanwu developed a plan to escape with Yingbao from the Wuji Sect.

Xiao Mo closed his eyes, sighing: “Yingbao, it’s my fault, but Ling Yue is the saving Goddess, she can’t fall, I had no other choice.”

Yingbao gave a playful smile: “So, you specifically came to this realm to get her divine elixir?”

Xiao Mo dropped his gaze, only speaking after a long pause: “You won’t die from losing a divine elixir, but Ling Yue will. Among two evils, one must choose the lesser. I have no choice.”

“What if I don’t want to?” novelbuddy.cσ๓

Xiao Mo lifted his eyes, saying indifferently: “Tens of thousands of years ago, the Divine Realm disappeared, and now the Fairy World is also on the verge of destruction. Yingbao, you carry the blood of a divine dragon, can you really just watch as billions of creatures in the Fairy World perish?”

Yingbao chuckled lightly: “What do I have to do with the creatures in the Fairy World? Their demise is their own fault. Didn’t you think to spare their lives when you slaughtered my tribesmen? Now you are asking me to return virtue for malice, to sacrifice myself for my enemies, are you out of your mind?”

Xiao Mo’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down: “Yingbao, once the Fairy World is annihilated, this small realm will not escape either. What about the people you are protecting?”

Yingbao slowly drew out the God Scythe: “This is none of your concern.”

Then in an instant, she swung at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo swiftly dodged, a golden sword appearing in his hands.

Yingbao leapt into the air, slashing down with a destructive force.

Xiao Mo lifted his golden sword to block.

As the two fought, the sky was covered with dark clouds, with flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder. Strands of golden lightning wove through the clouds, seemingly aiming for someone.

Yingbao was not afraid at all, using the blade of the God Scythe to lock onto Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo was a bit distressed. This body was indeed inferior. Whenever he exerted a bit of divine power, his body would deteriorate slightly.

The sky’s lightning finally struck. First, it hit Xiao Mo and then hit Yingbao.

Yingbao only felt as if her scalp was exploding, smoke rising from her nostrils. But she knew she couldn’t fall and she couldn’t give up the opportunity to kill Xiao Mo.

So, she hacked at him with all her might once again.

With a loud boom! Xiao Mo’s body was hit by the God Scythe, instantly disintegrating like stardust.

Yingbao quickly noticed that a fragment of the Supreme Immortal’s soul was about to escape.

She urgently summoned Xuanwu and threw him at the escaping soul shard, shouting, “Swallow it!”

Xuanwu emitted a blinding golden light, encapsulating the fragment of the Supreme Immortal’s soul in an instant.

“Good job!” Yingbao praised, calling Xuanwu back with a wave of her hand, and storing him back within her Divine Pupil. “Digest it well, that’s a fragment of a Fairy Monarch’s soul.”

Xuanwu was quite pleased and immediately started to digest the soul fragment of the Supreme Immortal.

Once he had absorbed it all, his cultivation would increase by at least five hundred years.

Right now, Yingbao sat on the ground, rolling up her sleeves to check her injuries.

Her victory over Xiao Mo today was expected, but she didn’t anticipate winning so easily, which was strange.

Could it be that he had transferred all his cultivation to that Ling Yue immortal maiden?

That was possible.

Yingbao took a few medicinal pills and began to slowly restore her energy.

Although the Supreme Immortal had vanished from this realm, it didn’t mean that he was dead. If he were to rise again, she needed to be on her guard.
