Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Nine – Counter-Attack
“Be alert!” Zou Fan scolded the guards . Looking at the sky full of snow and the howling wind, he felt slightly anxious .
The Clear Sea Storehouse that he guarded was an important resource base for Tian Huan . It had countless materials that had been transported from all over . They would be packed onto ships here, and be transported to their destinations . These were mostly mid-level and low-level materials . The types and amounts were astounding and due to this, the scale of the storehouse was also astounding .
This was Tian Huan’s material transportation hub . Its importance to Tian Huan could not be described . Due to this, there was a whole battalion stationed at Clear Sea Storehouse . Other than this, there were also many experts protecting this place . However, a few days ago, the ring master that was guarding Clear Sea Storehouse had left with three of their strongest experts, saying that they had an important mission .
The careful Zou Fan felt slightly anxious . Clear Sea Storehouse was at its weakest .
If the enemy attacked at this time … …
This thought caused his heart to shudder but he then shook his head . It was unlikely . Mo Cloud Sea was being completely suppressed by Tian Huan . They were in a panic and did not have the energy to deal with Tian Huan .
Also, in such terrible weather, it was impossible to travel .
Clear Sea Jie was a world of wind and snow . In a year, about nine-tenths of the days were filled with wind and snow . Also, the wind and snow were so strong that this place was a world of ice and death . Those that could survive here were all powerful ice-type yao beasts .
The transportation fleets also had a hard time travelling in this kind of weather . Normal xiuzhe would not be able to fly and travel in this kind of weather . The wind and snow would tear them to pieces .
But the position of Clear Sea Jie was so important that, without any other jie around, people had to pass through here .
This kind of snowstorm was rare to see, and it really helped him greatly right now .
While he thought this, Zou Fan still increased the guard patrols on the storehouse . His gaze swept across the packed jinzhi . Much of his anxiousness dissipated . There were so many jinzhi here it was a fortress .
Zou Fan was only a silver battle general, but he was careful, reliable and worthy of trust so he had been sent to guard the Clear Sea Storehouse . His battalion was much larger than normal battalions and had been built according to the standards of a gold battle general .
Suddenly, Zou Fan’s gaze focused .
There was a blue figure flickering in and out of view in the wind and snow .
Zuo Fan’s heart suddenly rose into the air . There were three defensive lines in front . How had this person come in? A strong feeling of danger filled his mind . His expression changed as he shouted, “Enemy attack!”
The storehouse immediately descended into chaos, the sounds of alarms going off and jinzhi lighting up . The entire storehouse seemed to wake up from a sleep and was covered in a pressuring light .
The guards moved into the jinzhi, each of them with nervous expressions as though they faced a great enemy!
The blue figure came closer . The furious wind and snow seemed to be nothing .
Among the snowstorm, a blue figure gradually became clear . A beautiful figure that moved with an umbrella and was filled with an ethereal beauty .
A woman!
Zou Fan’s pupils suddenly contracted, and a strong feeling of danger rose . A woman appearing out of such strong snowstorm . This was not a good sign .
The other’s level of danger did not need to be stated .
“All jinzhi, prepare to attack!” Zou Fan decisively ordered .
In the wind and snow, Lan gazed at the distant fortress, the two ice blue crystals at the eyeholes of her face mask lighting up slightly . After ten thousand years, she once again stood on the battlefield!
Her icy heart suddenly became excited .
The totem sleeping among the incense of the shen temple was so lonely .
A totem’s home should be the battlefield!
Born in the tribe, powerful, becoming the totem, experiencing countless years worship and reverence . They led the tribe in times of danger, protected the tribe, foughtfor the tribe, never abandoning the tribe, for the glory of the tribe!
The glory of a totem!
The distant and faded glory would once again spread the name of Lan!
The hand around the ice umbrella tightened and Lan’s figure disappeared from the wind and snow .
“Careful!” Zuo Fan’s pupils shrank again as he roared .
Boom!
An enormous explosion, and the snow that had accumulated on the ground exploded . A wall of snow dozens of zhang tall rose and then swept towards the storehouse!
In this moment, countless beams of light sprouted out of the fortress .
Almost unconsciously, all the guards unhesitatingly activated the jinzhi . All kinds of light rained down on the wall of snow!
The snow wall immediately split into pieces . The wild flows of air and the snow mixing together causing snow to fly into the air .
It was white everywhere they looked .
Not good!
Zuo Fan’s heart jumped . Before he could respond, a blue figure flashed at the corner of his eye .
Bling bling bling!
Like hail raining down and tearing through the leaves of the banana tree, the light shield nearby shattered immediately .
Pew pew pew!
Pillars of blood shot up . Before they could land on the ground, they were frozen into droplets of ice by the cold air and was swept up with the wind and snow .
The guards widened their eyes, a chill spreading through their bodies . In a blink, they turned into people of ice .
They fell down face forward, pia, and shattered!
The wind and snow they had relied on had become the great boon for the enemy . Ice spikes shot out of the wind and snow . These ice spikes possessed astounding power . Even the defensive light shield of Clear Sea Storehouse could not withstand a single blow!
Several figures were rapidly moving to the third defensive position . Zuo Fan was slightly reassured . These people were usually very proud . Fortunately, they did not mess up at important times .
“Third Position!” Zuo Fan shouted . “Prepare the [Sky Lock]!
As he finished, countless seal scripts suddenly flew out of the depths of the storehouse and quickly flew into the sky . In a blink, a circle of light appeared in the sky above the storehouse . The light circle was over ten li in diameter and countless bright seal scripts flowed endlessly .
The [Sky Lock] was one of the Clear Sea Warehouse’s strongest jinzhi . It was for facing experts, especially shen power experts . The enemy’s strength was unfathomable and was definitely a shen power expert .
This definitely was not good news for Zuo Fan .
Right now, the development of jinzhi had fallen behind . The jinzhi that could match shen power experts were rare . However, due to the importance of Clear Sea Storehouse’s location, there were jinzhi set up here that could be used against shen power exerts .
This was [Sky Lock]!
If those people could delay the enemy, the [Sky Lock] would be able to restrain the enemy .
Several figures quickly engaged the enemy in battle . With Zuo Fan’s strength, he could only see several grey figures and one blue figure flashing around .
“The lock is set!” the subordinate said joyfully .
“Attack!” Zuo Fan unhesitatingly ordered .
The circle of light suddenly contracted . It descended from the sky, its target Lan!
The wind and snow seemed to suddenly stop .

This was the first time Shuang Yu was working with Gongsun Cha . It was a strange feeling . He had to admit that Gongsun Cha’s preparations had been very detailed, so detailed that it was beyond his imagination .
While they were both among the ten great battle generals, Gongsun Cha and Gu Liang Dao’s styles were completely different . Gu Liang Dao’s moves were big and open, but Gongsun Cha was more detailed . Only battle generals like Gongsun Cha would be able to do preparations to this level .
The accurate and thorough preparations allowed Shuang Yu to feel relaxed . What he needed to do was simple . He only needed to express his strength to successfully complete the mission .
His target was Thousand Sail Sect .
Thousand Sail Sect was not a large sect . Actually, it was only one of Tian Huan’s outer sects . Its status in Tian Huan was not high, but its importance was seriously underestimated .
Tian Huan had many outer sects . There were thousands of sects that had connections to Tian Huan and the Thousand Sail Sect was just one of those .
They were skilled in the forging of treasure ships, especially transportation ships . Almost seven-tenths of transportation ships in Tian Huan came from Thousand Sail Sect . For Tian Huan who made their living on forging and mercantilism, the amount of materials transported was astounding and the demand for transportation ships was high . Transportation ships were not hard to forge, but took time, and the profits were not high . Naturally, Tian Huan was not willing to invest manpower and energy into this .
They were happy that Thousand Sail Sect was willing to take over . Thousand Sail Sect jumped to become one of the relatively strong sects among Tian Huan’s outer sects .
Their transportation ships sold well based on their connection to Tian Huan .
In Gongsun Cha’s intelligence analyses, the importance of this sect was high . If it was destroyed, it would have a great effect on Tian Huan’s transportation abilities .
Transportation ships did not need high level materials or high level methods to be forged, but needed time .
If Thousand Sail Sect was destroyed, Tian Huan would have a difficult time making up their transportation ships in the short-term . Other sects could forge them, but no one could compare to Thousand Sail Sect in scale . There were confirmed reports . An enormous order had come to Thousand Sail Sect, and Tian Huan was currently facing the problem of lacking sufficient transportation ability .
Gongsun Cha’s plan targeted the enemy’s weakness . He had to admit that Gongsun Cha was someone skilled at grabbing a person’s weakness .
What made Thousand Sail Sect a tempting target was that, despite their importance, Thousand Sail Sect did not have the corresponding level of defenses . Thousand Sail Sect was in the core lands of Tian Huan and it was not easy for them to be attacked . Adding on that Tian Huan was supporting them, their competitors did not dare to scheme against them .
The situation formed gradually over time to become like this .
However, Tian Huan did have some measures . They still stationed a battalion near Thousand Sail Sect to guarantee their safety .
Yet a defense of this degree for a super expert like Shuang Yu was like there was nothing .
Especially right now when Tian Huan’s attention was attracted by Zhong De and Zuo Mo . Almost all of the top experts had been moved . This was undoubtedly the time that Tian Huan was weakest in defense . They would not encounter any experts of the same level . For Shuang Yu, this mission was so easy it was like taking a sightseeing trip .
Gongshun Cha’s move was really vicious!
Behind Shuang Yu were a few dozen elites that carried large amounts of explosive talismans .
They only had one mission, flatten Thousand Sail Sect to the ground!
Shuang Yu took a deep breath, his expression becoming cold . “Begin!”
