Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 1196: Chapter 404: The Six Towns Arrive Together, Hand Over the Culprit, Divine Machine Crossbow, Sworn Oath

Many people tend to interpret words based on their literal meaning. Upon first hearing the term "Xianyang," they might think it refers to the point where one’s cultivation reaches this realm, they are no longer afraid of cold light and can openly expose themselves under the cold sun. Even before Xia Hong broke through, he thought the same way.

But in reality, this is just the most superficial meaning.

If a Xianyang-level warrior releases just a small amount of energy from their bones, they can quickly dispel cold air and significantly increase the temperature around their body.

Corresponding to this characteristic, the true meaning of "Xianyang" is actually referring to, in the eyes of the vast majority, a strong person at this level is like a blazing and dazzling sun. Any camp, as long as there is a Xianyang-level strong person, does not have to adopt any methods to keep warm and does not need to worry about the cold.

Therefore, any Xianyang-level strong person, in their own camp, even in surrounding camps, is almost a god-like existence. The respect and reverence they receive cannot be matched by those at the Cold Resistance Level no matter how much they achieve.

Thus, if a Xianyang-level strong person additionally bears the aura of a Lord, their status becomes even more transcendent.

At this moment, the reaction of more than ten thousand Cold Resistance Level warriors on the South City streets from the Eight Towns is a true reflection of this transcendent status.

When six towns collectively sent twelve Xianyang-level strong persons to appear in the hundred meters high sky above the Hongmen City Government Building, nearly ninety percent of these over ten thousand Cold Resistance Level warriors directly bowed their heads.

"Greetings, Lord!"

"Greetings, Lord..."

......

Over thirty percent of them showed fanaticism, directly bowed towards the sky, obviously from the six towns, catching sight of their own Lord, they emit sporadic salutes.

Among the remaining less than ten percent of those without reaction, excluding those from the Great Xia, those truly born from the Eight Towns are almost negligible.

If even Cold Resistance Level warriors are like this, those in the Earth-digging Realm sheltering within South City houses because of daylight are even more so, within those houses, even the faint sounds of kneeling can be heard.

No one dared to whisper. Even if they originally came here for the spectacle, they all quieted down, focusing their eyes on those twelve people.

The entire Hongmen City seemed to fall into silence.

Of course, this was near the Ministry Building. In slightly farther regions, such as many restaurants in South City, it wasn’t so quiet.

"The leader is Beishuo Lord Yang Zhun, Town Chief Yang Fa; on the left is Jinshan Lord Shangguan Yang, Army Chief Shangguan Long; further left is Chui Mountain Lord Duan Hong, Army Chief Mu Longhe; on the right is Wuchuan Lord Qin Feng, Army Chief Ye Tianhao; further right is Dragon Valley Lord Long Mingyuan, Army Chief Li Yangtian; at the farthest edge is Yangqu Lord Cao Qianyang, Army Chief Yan Chenzhou."

"Didn’t they say it’s the Northern Three Towns? Why did they all come?"

"Not everyone came. Aren’t Jiangxia and Muyin two towns missing?"

"Foolish, without Great Xia, these two towns almost ceased to exist. How could they follow the Northern Three Towns to suppress Great Xia!"

"So, these two towns intend to keep to themselves?"

"The people from Great Xia haven’t come out yet, not necessarily."

"Six towns joining hands, it’s understandable for the two towns to remain neutral, Muyin is already half-dead, Jiangxia also suffered heavily after the battle with Dajue Temple. Even if they stood on Great Xia’s side, it would be like a drop in the bucket, doing no good!"

......

Inside a restaurant in South City, Chen Yiqing and his group of eight sat in an elegant room by the window. They looked at the twelve people in the northern sky and, upon hearing the discussions within the restaurant, a smile appeared on their faces.

"In my opinion, the Northern Three Towns plus Chui Mountain alone should suffice. Dragging Dragon Valley and Yangqu two towns along, isn’t big brother overestimating Great Xia?"

Upon hearing Chen Yimou’s words, the remaining six immediately nodded, all turning their heads towards Chen Yiqing with faces full of confusion.

"Overestimating?"

Chen Yiqing turned to look at the six, shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "You entered the city the night before last. You should have roamed quite a bit in South City these two days. You’ve seen some wealth of resources and abundance of goods in Great Xia, right?"

"Trivial skills! Ultimately, the Ice Abyss will speak through strength. No matter how many resources, diversified goods, or superb skills, without strength as a foundation, it’s all empty in the end."

Responded to Chen Yiqing was his second son Chen Huang.

As soon as Chen Huang finished speaking, his elder son Chen Yu immediately nodded and continued, "Second brother is correct. Based on my observations over these two days, what Great Xia Town could showcase, it’s just the Cloud Jiao and Long Wu armies. I speculate their Cold Resistance Level overall scale, even if larger than the Northern Three Towns, would be limited!"

Unlike the courteous demeanor when exchanging pleasantries with Ji Hong the day before, despite wearing coarse linen garments, the two young men now had an air of arrogance between their brows. Especially Chen Yu, when discussing the overall scale of Cold Resistance Level of Great Xia, he showed obvious contempt on his face.

Unlike the two young men, Chen Yimou and the other three middle-aged men did not immediately respond to Chen Yiqing’s earlier question. They slightly lowered their heads, apparently pondering the deeper meaning behind Chen Yiqing’s words.

Upon hearing his sons’ words, though Chen Yiqing immediately shook his head, he didn’t directly refute but instead contemplated for a moment, recalling that unlike him, who has been here for almost half a month, the seven only arrived in Hongmen City the night before last. He then took out a dozen small porcelains of different colors from his side pack, placing them directly on the table.

"The Treasure Tower has been restructured. Now entering requires asset verification. Since you only wandered along South City streets these two days, first take a look at these ten types of Dan Medicine!"
