Chapter 63: Chapter 62: Careful Planning, Securing Leadership without Concerns (Please Follow)

The Guardian Elder's face appeared aged, yet at this moment, it bore a look of delight, suggesting that the situation at the frontlines was going well.

“Chen Qing, you did very well.”

“We are getting old, Wuyou Mountain truly needs young and vigorous individuals like you.”

Chen Qing asked, “Elder, where are you headed?”

The Guardian Elder lifted the food basket in his hand, “To deliver a meal to Gongsun Xiu.”

Chen Qing was puzzled, “Gongsun?”

The Guardian Elder said, “Since the Mountain Master and others left, Gongsun Xiu has been guarding the entrance of Wuyou Mountain alone, to prevent any treacherous individuals from coveting our Wuyou Mountain.”

Chen Qing stepped forward to take the food basket, “Let me do it instead.”

The Guardian Elder stroked his beard and smiled, “With supportive juniors like you, our Wuyou Mountain is sure to prosper!”

He laughed heartily, waved his sleeve, and departed, while Chen Qing carried the food basket to the mountain gate.

Before reaching the mountain gate, Chen Qing smelled a strong scent of blood.

He looked toward the mountain gate and saw that the area around Gongsun Xiu was stained with fresh blood. Clearly, there were indeed some vile people daring to covet the resources of Wuyou Mountain.

Gongsun Xiu sat bravely on a large redwood chair, to his left stood a sign inscribed with a warning, “Those who are not of Wuyou Mountain and enter shall surely die!”

Chen Qing strode forward with the food basket. The always elegant and charming Gongsun Xiu now had tangled hair, still had patches of dry blood on his body, and his shoulders and back were piled with Bai Xue, looking quite disheveled.

“Brother, you've worked hard.”

Gongsun Xiu took the food basket, opened it, and began eating, “I heard you have returned, so I had all the iron chain bridges leading to Wuyou Mountain cut off.”

“Now, outsiders can only reach Wuyou Mountain over my dead body.”

Chen Qing apologized, “I am sorry for returning so late.”

Gongsun Xiu laughed heartily, “Don't mind, we are brothers.”

“Who would have expected that this time the Sword Abyss would reveal a spirit Gu, and who would have thought that Qiu Feng from Lotus Cave couldn't resist the temptation and exposed his strength.”

Chen Qing squatted beside Gongsun Xiu and asked, “How's the battle at the front?”

Gongsun Xiu said, “Lotus Cave realized they were no match and fled, with Wutong Mountain and our Wuyou Mountain in hot pursuit.”

Chen Qing was slightly relieved, “That's good.”

Gongsun Xiu looked at Chen Qing seriously, “Junior, now that I am stationed here and cannot leave, all matters on the mountain are entrusted to you.”

Chen Qing replied, “Rest assured, I have everything arranged.”

After a short while, they saw Wang Ye leading over ten disciples, each at the second Qi Refinement level, carrying healing medicine on their backs.

Chen Qing immediately said, “Don't get too close to the battlefield, just be ready to support!”

Everyone cupped their hands and said in unison, “Yes, thank you, Brother, for your concern.”

Chen Qing waved his hand, “Go!”

Seeing this, Gongsun Xiu nodded with satisfaction and continued to eat heartily.

Chen Qing stood up, “Brother, continue eating, I will go and instruct the disciples from the Beast Driving Hall who have just returned to deliver the healing medicine to the frontlines.”

He turned his head and left, walking thirty steps before turning back to look, seeing Gongsun Xiu solemnly sitting before the snowy gate of Wuyou Mountain, as immovable as a mountain.

He possessed the aura of a hero, giving a strong sense of security.

Not long after returning to the Spirit Plant Hall, a disciple from the Spirit Plant Hall came to report, “Hall Master, Xiao Zhong requests a meeting!”

What is he here for at this moment?

“Please, serve tea!”

Let's see what he is planning.

As soon as Xiao Zhong entered, he stated directly, “No need for tea, I heard from Gongsun Xiu that you are in charge on the mountain now, I brought three carts of healing medicine, do you have a way to send them to the frontlines?”

At this moment, Chen Qing looked at Xiao Zhong with a bit more respect, “I will immediately order the disciples from the Beast Driving Hall.”

Just as Chen Qing walked out of the Spirit Plant Hall, he heard Xiao Zhong's voice from behind, “Chen Qing, our rivalry is a family affair of Wuyou Mountain!”

“When facing outsiders, I know what matters most!”

“While Wuyou Mountain stands, so do I!”

“If Wuyou Mountain falls, there will no longer be a Xiao Zhong.”

“You take care of the matters on the mountain, I will replace Gongsun Xiu for a while, he hasn't rested for three days and nights.”

Having said that, Xiao Zhong, with a sword at his side, strode towards the mountain gate of Wuyou Mountain.

Late at night, Chen Qing stood at the entrance of the Shadow Hall of Wuyou Mountain, watching boxes of swords and a large amount of provisions being tied onto the Earth Rats Spiritual Beasts. Once the five Earth Rats were fully loaded, he reached out his hand in greeting to Sun Feiting, “Sun, I'm counting on you!”

Then, he addressed the disciples from the Beast Driving Hall, who were riding tigers or white cranes, “Brothers, I count on you!”

Sun Feiting cupped his hands and said, “Rest assured, Hall Master, we will complete the mission!”

He waved his hand and ordered, “Go, take all the healing medicine at the mountain gate and deliver it non-stop to the frontlines!”

Chen Qing watched for a moment, seeing the group laden with healing medicine onto thirteen Earth Rats Spiritual Beasts find a secluded spot and begin burrowing, only then did Chen Qing relax.

Sun, nearing fifty years old, should be reliable in handling the matter.

He was most familiar with the layout of the underground tunnels near Wuyou Mountain and would be able to establish a safe supply route to the battlefield in the shortest time.

In less than half a quarter-hour, he saw thirteen Earth Rats Spiritual Beasts enter the tunnels in succession, indicating the underground passage was complete.

Satisfied, Chen Qing returned to the mountain and directly headed to the grand hall at the summit.

He intended to oversee the grand hall at all times, coordinating the deployment of weaponry, provisions, and healing medicine to the frontlines, while maintaining the stability on the mountain.

All the other brothers were absent, now it was up to him to maintain Wuyou Mountain.

After only a few steps, Chen Qing recalled the incident of his cave dwelling location being leaked previously.

On Wuyou Mountain, there might still be spies.

With this thought, he turned back to the wooded area where Sun Feiting was digging.

If the supplies were intercepted, the frontlines would not be able to continue the pursuit, potentially allowing those wretched Lotus Cave individuals to escape and cause endless future troubles.

With this thought, he began to consider who could still be useful on Wuyou Mountain.

Xie Dayou!

Due to old injuries, he wasn't sent to participate in the battle!

With that in mind, he swiftly moved towards Xie Dayou's cave dwelling, “Brother Xie, are you home?”

A moment later, Xie Dayou came out, draped in a long robe and carrying a lantern, “Master Chen, what brings you here?”

Chen Qing entered quickly and grasped Xie Dayou's hand, “Brother Xie, I have an extremely important task, but sadly, no one I can trust.”

“You know the disciples of the Spirit Plant Hall; none of them are adept at fighting.”

Yet Xie did not let Chen Qing continue, but instead patted his own thigh directly and said, “Master Chen, it's thanks to you that I still have this leg, if not for you, I would have already lost my livelihood!”

“Whatever the task, I, Xie, will not refuse, and if I fail, I'll face the consequences gracefully!”
