Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2242

Chapter 2242: Sword-Shaped Token

Minutes after Heaven’s Mandate’s retreat, another portal appeared, and a familiar figure emerged from it.

"My liege! We’re here to assist you!" Dong Ye’s voice could be heard even before his body fully emerged from the portal.

However, when he came out and saw the empty scene, Dong Ye turned to look at Yuan with a puzzled face.

He wasn’t alone, as the Shadow Army came with him, and they were just as puzzled. They were even prepared to fight to the death with Heaven’s Mandate.

"My liege, what happened to Heaven’s Mandate?" he asked.

Yuan responded with a calm smile, "They ran away."

"What? Run away? Heaven’s Mandate?" Dong Ye’s eyes widened with surprise.

He didn’t even know such a thing was possible.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you happen to know which squad they belonged to?"

"The Second Squad. Why does that matter?" Yuan asked with curiosity.

"The Second Squad?! You actually forced the Second Squad to retreat by yourself?! You’re amazing, my liege!" Dong Ye exclaimed with excitement.

He proceeded to explain, "There are thirteen squads in Heaven’s Mandate, and the Second Squad is the third strongest, only below the First Squad and the Elite Squad."

"Is that so? Well, they were pretty weak."

"Maybe that is the case for you, but my liege, you cannot compare yourself to the average person. Even the entire Shadow Army would have trouble dealing with the Second Squad."

"How much stronger is the First and Elite Squad?" Yuan then asked.

"The First Squad consists of a single Ninth Level God Ascension expert as its commander, with 20,000 soldiers between the first and fourth level God Ascension. As for the Elite Squad, they have fewer than five hundred soldiers, but each one is at least at the fifth level of God Ascension," he explained.

"There’s even a rumor that their commander is a Cultivation God."

"Only a rumor? Has nobody seen their commander?"

"The Elite Squad is a highly secretive group even within the Celestial Emperor’s circle, after all. Moreover, they have never been deployed before."

"I see," Yuan said. "Anyway, let’s leave."

Dong Ye nodded, but before leaving, he asked, noticing that a particular individual was missing, "By the way, what happened to that woman Mu Xuelian?"

Yuan shrugged and said, "She left while I was fighting."

"What?!" Dong Ye exclaimed in disbelief. "She actually ran away and left you behind?! Even after everything she said?!"

Yuan smiled and spoke to him through voice transmission, "It didn’t happen while I was fighting Heaven’s Mandate, but during my fight with the Eternal. Things were looking very bad at the end, so I don’t really blame her for leaving."

"That’s even worse! To think she’d abandon you during your fight against a God! I thought she was a God, too!"

"She may be an Eternal, but she doesn’t have her true body, and without it, there’s no way she could fight against another Eternal. Anyway, let’s leave before more reinforcements arrive."

They left through the portal shortly after and regrouped with the Asura Clan.

"Master Tian! You’re back!" Xiao Meilin smiled brightly upon his return.

"How was the fight against the Eternal?" Xiao Cangming asked with a curious gaze.

"You won’t believe who I fought," said Yuan.

Xiao Cangming raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who?"

"The same bastard who tried to steal the Spirit Tree and injured you."

"What!"

Yuan proceeded to recall the whole event to them.
