Chapter 78: infiltrators unmasked
The hall was filled with tension. Kai stood in front of two bound figures kneeling on the cold floor. The guards who had captured them stood to the side, still alert.“Report,” Kai said, his tone even.A disciple stepped forward and bowed. “Vice Leader, we found them near the southern storage area. They were tampering with the spirit seals on the containers. Their auras were… wrong.”The system’s blue interface appeared before Kai’s eyes.System Alert: Aura Inconsistency Detected. Hidden energy signature traceable to Crimson Serpent Sect. Suggested action: Interrogation.Kai’s eyes narrowed. “Bring them closer.”The guards pushed the two men forward. Their faces were disguised with illusion talismans, but as Kai activated his spiritual sense, the illusion shattered. The crowd gasped.“They’re not from our sect,” one elder whispered. “Crimson Serpent infiltrators.”Kai didn’t move. “How long have you been here?”One of the men spat on the floor. “Long enough to know your defenses are f
Chapter 77:Reconstruction and planning
Kai stood at the center of the main yard. He was surrounded by his captains, healers, and senior officers. His armor was patched from combat. His expression remained calm. The System interface hovered in front of him and it showed the list of ongoing restoration efforts.[System Notification: Reconstruction Phase Initiated. New feature unlocked: Sub-Sect Expansion Menu.]Kai looked at the glowing text for a moment. “System, open the Sub-Sect Expansion Menu.”[Menu Opened. Functions available: Establish Sub-Divisions, Assign Regional Overseers, Allocate Resource Nodes and Manage Loyalty Networks.]Arin stepped forward with a stack of reports. “Guildmaster, the rebuilding is going slowly. We’ve repaired three outer walls and two defensive towers, but the spiritual barrier at the east flank is still unstable.”Kai nodded. “Assign the Formation Division to the east barrier. Double the reinforcement team. Use the leftover formation stones from the west ridge.”“Yes, sir.”Mei approached ne
Chapter 76:the aftermath
System Notification: War Status, Post-Battle Phase Initiated. Administrative Mode unlocked.]Kai exhaled and focused. “System, open Administration Mode.”[Administration Mode activated. Permissions transferred to Acting Sect Master: Kai. Current command privileges expanded. You may now assign administrative roles, allocate resources, and issue sect-wide directives.]“Display current loss statistics,” Kai said.[Azure Cloud Sect current state: Active personnel—2,981.]He stared at the numbers. The silence between the system messages felt heavier than any noise.Arin walked up behind him, his arm in a sling. “Guildmaster, the sect elders are waiting for you in the council hall. They’ve been arguing for hours about the next step.”Kai nodded. “Prepare a summary report for me. Include all injured lists and food stock updates.”“Yes, sir.”Kai turned and walked toward the sect’s council hall. The once-polished doors were cracked, and scorch marks lined the walls. Inside, the remaining elde
Chapter75: victory and exhaustion
There was no battle today. The cold air carried the stench of blood. Kai stood at the edge of the ruined field. His body was trembling from fatigue. He looked over the battlefield. “System,” Kai muttered weakly, his voice low, “status report.”[System Notification: War Status – Paused (Preparation Phase 2). Casualties recorded: 1,372 Azure Cloud disciples. Estimated enemy losses: 3,108. Mana reserves at 12%. Host vitality at critical threshold.]Kai clenched his jaw. “Show remaining supply count.”[Supplies remaining: 27% of original capacity. Food shortage in five days. Healing potions critically low. Formation materials depleted.]He exhaled slowly, his body aching as if it could collapse at any second. Around him, survivors began to gather. Many were bloodstained, their faces pale and hollow.“Guildmaster!” Arin shouted as he approached, carrying a bandaged disciple over his shoulder. “The eastern ridge is secured. No more enemies are left standing.”Kai turned to him, his eyes s
Chapter74: the break through
The war started before morning. The enemy had regrouped overnight and returned stronger. They pushed hard against Azure Cloud’s middle defense line. Kai stood at the front. His eyes was locked on the red banners of the Crimson Serpent Sect moving through the valley.“System,” he said, his voice calm despite the chaos, “status on all defensive fronts.”“Eastern ridge holding at seventy-five percent integrity,” the System responded. “Western barrier stable. Central formation under heavy pressure.”“Redirect the reinforcements from the north to the center,” Kai ordered.“Command confirmed. Estimated arrival in three minutes.”Ren appeared beside him, covered in blood and dust. “Kai, they’ve summoned their elite division. Their cultivators are using formation amplifiers to break through.”“I see it,” Kai said as the System highlighted the advancing enemy units in red. “We end this before they can stabilize.”The System chimed again. “Energy levels within host fluctuating. Combat synchron
Chapter 73:the betrayal of elder Mo
The day began quietly, but tension filled the air. The System had been running constant scans after the retreat. Kai was at the command post, reviewing reports from every division when a sudden alert flashed before him.“System,” he said quickly, “display the alert in full.”“Detected encrypted spiritual transmission originating from Elder Mo’s quarters,” the System reported. “Signal pattern matches Crimson Serpent Sect frequency. Estimated duration: eight minutes.”Kai’s face hardened. “Trace the destination.”“Transmission connected to enemy envoy camp two miles east of the ridge. Communication logs partially intercepted.”Kai read the text appearing in front of him: ‘…the Azure Cloud Sect’s defenses are weakened. The inner barrier will fail in two days. I can open the western seal in exchange for safe passage and elder status under your banner…’Ren entered the command post right then, holding a battle report. He stopped when he saw Kai’s expression. “What’s wrong?”Kai didn’t answ
