Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 143 At a loss

Lan Tian stood there stunned; his opponent had fled, and the danger was temporarily averted.

The battle below continued, the battlefield stretching for miles, with hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides. The outcome of this battle would determine the fate of both sides. Finding two people in such a vast army was like finding a needle in a haystack. They had been following the Fifth Prince; finding the Fifth Prince would lead to them! How could I not have thought of that! Lan Tian suddenly realized that finding the Fifth Prince should be easy; he could simply find their command post!

From the air, it was easy to distinguish that the Crown Prince's troops were on one side, and the troops of his royal brothers and sisters on the other. In the main camp on the left rear, the Fifth Prince, Luo Cheng, was commanding his troops in battle. The senior generals were all busy observing the battlefield, everyone extremely anxious, constantly concerned about the course of the battle—this was their battle of destiny!

Lan Tian swooped down from the sky, directly approaching the Fifth Prince Luo Cheng's camp. This sudden arrival threw his personal guards into a panic. Was the enemy's powerful figure determined to capture the leader first? Did one person dare to raid the enemy camp? At this moment, Luo Cheng's senior generals took to the air to intercept Lan Tian, ​​forming a solid defensive wall above the camp.

Lan Tian watched as the crowd below took to the air to intercept him, but without offering any explanation, he used a teleportation technique to instantly disappear from their sight. When he reappeared, he was already inside the main camp.

Lan Tian had no intention of offending the other party. Through his observation, he knew that the strongest elder here had been guarding Luo Cheng's side. This elder was at least at the peak of the first level of the Venerable Realm, a top-tier high-level expert on the Blue Card Continent. Upon discovering that Lan Tian had suddenly attacked their commander, they immediately launched a siege against Lan Tian. A powerful energy barrier blocked Lan Tian's path, protecting the enemy's commander within it.

"Please don't be nervous, everyone. I have no ill intentions. I'm just looking for two old friends. I'm so sorry to have bothered you!" Lan Tian quickly explained, remaining standing still.

The ability to traverse freely here indicates this person is no ordinary individual. Luo Cheng, a seasoned cultivator himself, finds this person's mastery of spatial abilities unparalleled; such a talent is truly exceptional for the empire! He envisions this future super-powerful individual, someone he must utilize for his own benefit, and how to revitalize the empire in the future. Having such a powerful figure by one's side would be an honor for the empire.

"Alright, young man, who is your old friend? It's our honor to help you find him," Luo Cheng said amicably to Lan Tian.

This leader is no ordinary person! When Lan Tian first met Luo Cheng, he sensed his amiable nature, his deep thinking, and his commanding presence. However, Lan Tian also felt a slight sense of crisis.

Lan Tian didn't actually know who this leader was. He only wanted to know the whereabouts of Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing, and hurry back to the Endless Sea to resolve the crisis brought by the demons.

"Hai Liang and Yu Qing, they are in your military camp. They are very important to me. I need to take them away and return them to their homeland." Lan Tian didn't think too much and directly named Hai Liang and Yu Qing. This would greatly increase the chances of finding them. As long as they were still alive, they could be found.

Upon hearing Hai Liang and Yu Qing's names, Luo Cheng was a little surprised. How could they have such an acquaintance?
Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing were brought back from Yaochi Town by him. He took them in out of kindness, but he never expected that they would become his capable assistants, successfully completing many difficult, arduous, and secret missions, and have become his core members. At this moment, they are completing a surprise attack mission on the battlefield.

Luo Cheng greatly admired this talented young man; he was someone he valued. He genuinely wanted to recruit this young man to his cause. He was thinking about how to retain him, as this was a rare opportunity.

"Haha, we're all on the same side, everyone step back!"

Luo Cheng dismissed everyone, leaving only the old man with him. He invited Lan Tian to sit down and chat. The three of them watched the current battle situation together in the main tent. Real-time images from various battlefields were displayed together. Luo Cheng observed very carefully, occasionally turning back to consult Lan Tian. The two sides in the battle were locked in a fierce struggle, and generals frequently returned to camp to report the latest battlefield information, hoping Luo Cheng would make a decision.

Indeed, Luo Cheng's side has five commanders working together on the battlefield, and Luo Cheng is just one of them. Under his leadership, the offense and defense are well-organized, and there haven't been too many losses, so this side is relatively reliable.

Lan Tian witnessed Luo Cheng's battle plan and his leadership skills. He was someone of exceptional talent and ability that Lan Tian had never seen before. No wonder Hai Liang and Cao Yuqing were so willing to help him. If so, he was someone worth befriending! Since the other party kindly invited him to stay and assess the battlefield together, Lan Tian couldn't refuse, so he simply watched from the sidelines, observing everyone's busy work and how they handled the rapidly changing battlefield situation with ease.

Just as Lan Tian was bored and at a loss, the old man who was guarding Luo Cheng slowly walked over and sat down next to Lan Tian without looking at him directly.

"You've really made Old Man Xiao look terrible; he even lost a leg!"

Lan Tian was momentarily confused by the question, but upon hearing "a leg," he immediately understood the old man's meaning. It turned out that every move Lan Tian made in his battle with the blue-clad powerhouse was under the old man's control, clearly and plainly observed.

This time, Lan Tian was utterly astonished. This old man's cultivation was far superior to his own; he could already know everything about that battle, let alone the complex and vast battlefield where he could still notice him and control his fight with the blue-robed expert. How insignificant and vulnerable he was before this old man!

"I apologize for any offense caused, senior. It was out of necessity, and my life was the most important thing."

Lan Tian didn't deny it; knowing she couldn't hide it, why bother?

Compared to this old man, Lan Tian was nothing but a child's play. If the old man made a move, Lan Tian wouldn't even have the ability to retaliate, let alone escape!

"My name is Lan Tian. May I ask your name, senior?"

"Blue Sky! I can't even remember what I call myself anymore! Just call me Old Man Ge, there's no need for a formal name. You are someone I have high hopes for, young and promising, a child like you hasn't appeared in hundreds of years. If you have any particular doubts or questions in the future, you can come to Qingfeng Temple to find me. After things are settled here, I will be cultivating in the temple."

"Thank you, Senior Ge. I will definitely visit you in the future."

Senior Ge didn't linger and disappeared in an instant. Lan Tian understood that truly accomplished people have their own temperament and inner qualities. There was no need to seek too much. He would definitely visit him in the future; Senior Ge was a respectable elder to Lan Tian.

The battle continues. Today's fighting has ended without a clear victor, and both sides have called a retreat to continue tomorrow.

By the end of the day, although neither side had emerged victorious, the battlefield was littered with corpses, and countless soldiers had died in battle.

The battlefield of Muye at night was a desolate place, filled with wails. The dead soldiers, who had not yet been buried, became the dinner of wild beasts. Everywhere there were wild beasts fighting and howling.
