Of course, the White Mountain Army was not the only one that was waving the banner of the Revolutionary Army near Cangzhou City.
Apart from that, there were five other troops, namely Qingyuan Army, Hanlin Army, Hongyuan Army, Changsheng Stronghold, and Xingbo Camp.
The Qingyuan Army and the Hanlin Army were the largest, each with more than three thousand men. The other three volunteer armies were smaller, but they still had more than a thousand men. The White Mountain Army was the smallest in Cangzhou.
The six volunteer armies added up to 10,000!
Yan Chen's target was these five rebel armies!
If he could swallow all five of these volunteer armies and take them under his command, this new mission would be completed.
Of course, it was easy to accomplish this. The system had rewarded him with five Loyalty Cards just now, which were perfect for the leaders of these five rebel armies.
Very quickly, he summoned Qin San, Li Tieniu, and a few other trusted personal guards. He had them immediately prepare three invitations for paying respects to the mountain and send them to the three slightly weaker rebel army strongholds.
Of course, it would be great if he could invite the leaders of the five rebel armies and use the Loyalty Card one by one.
However, the White Mountain Army's current prestige was far from enough. They were also the weakest of the six rebel armies. Even if they had recently shown their talents, they did not have the face to invite the five leaders to gather together.
Therefore, he could only pay a visit.
Let's start with these three weaker teams!
After the arrangements were made, the visiting card was written.
Yan Chen walked out of the village and prepared to take this opportunity to properly cultivate Treading on Snow and Wind.
Sending the visiting card up the mountain would take at least four hours. This time could not be wasted.
With Yan Chen's current Innate Ability and Comprehension, even an hour of cultivation could make a qualitative change in his strength.
Practicing Qinggong was definitely not something that could be performed in the courtyard. Yan Chen left the village and stood in the deep forest. The Qinggong essence of Treading Snow and Riding the Wind flashed through his mind.
"If the qi is clear, the body will be light. If the qi is turbid, the body will sink. Some bodies are as light as swallows, while others are as light as duckweed. Lifting heavy things as if they were light, roaming the Great Void, walking the path of creation, a wave of true qi lifting the chest and spleen, a reed leaf crossing the river..."
As the heart technique appeared in his mind, Yan Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, divine light filled the air!
Stomp!
His right foot lightly kicked the ground, and his entire body flew out like a withered leaf that was blown away by the wind.
Clear Qi makes the body light!
Not only was his speed extremely fast, but his movements were also extremely coordinated!
A white-robed man was moving through the forest, his sleeves flapping in the wind.
Yan Chen's figure became faster and faster, and his body became lighter and lighter!
The surrounding scenery flew past his eyes like the wind.
The dense trees could slow Yan Chen down a little in the beginning, but after two minutes, they could no longer be an obstacle to him.
With a light turn of his body, he went around it.
Faster and faster, faster and faster!
Yan Chen used his Lightness Skill from the forest and rushed straight to the village. He originally had to walk for a long time, but now that he used the miraculous Lightness Skill of < Treading Snow and Wind >, he arrived in less than half an incense's time!
Yan Chen stopped and let out a long breath. He adjusted his Inner Breath and his eyes were filled with amazement.
"As expected of Commander Xiang's unique qinggong, it's indeed amazing!”
Now that he had reached the first-class realm and had the Bright Jade Technique, his inner energy was endless. When he used his lightness skill, it could be said to complement each other.
"Check the proficiency!"
[Snow-Treading and Wind-Riding Mastery: Minor Achievement (55.26%)]
[Swift Sword Proficiency: Small Success (64.18%)]
[Origin Child Technique Proficiency: Level Five (40.05%), Minor Accomplishment]
[Bright Jade Technique Proficiency: Level Three (14.76%), Beginner]
"As expected, internal energy is the foundation of martial arts!”
Yan Chen nodded his head slightly. Whether it was the lightness skill or the moves, as long as one had deep internal energy, one would naturally improve at a rapid rate. Especially the lightness skill, which relied purely on one's perception, the speed of practice was even faster.
Even if his current lightness skill couldn't compare to the Green-winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, it wasn't too far off.
By the time Treading Snow and Wind Riding was cultivated to great success, even the Green-Winged Bat King would find it hard to touch the corner of his clothes!
"It should be about time!"
Raising his head to look at the sun, he estimated the time. Qin San, Li Tieniu, and the others had gone to deliver the visiting cards and were about to return to the mountain. Cangzhou wasn't big to begin with, and the rebel army was also closely related to each other. The distance between them wasn't considered far.
If the five rebel armies visited one by one and made a round trip within a day, there should be enough time.
As expected, not long after Yan Chen returned to the village, Qin San and the others also returned. However, each of them had a somewhat indignant expression on their faces.
When they saw Yan Chen, they immediately bowed.
"Major!"
"What's wrong?" Yan Chen asked with a smile. Are you angry?"
Li Tieniu gritted his teeth and said,"Young Marshal, these people are simply going too far…"
As he spoke, he slowly explained the whole story of this trip.
Their journey was smooth and they arrived at the mountain gates of the three rebel armies. The leaders of the three rebel armies agreed to Yan Chen's request to meet them, but their attitudes were not very good.
They had naturally heard of what had happened on Mount Bai Jun a few days ago, but they still did not think much of the White Mountain Army. There were even some who made fun of the envoy in public, not taking the White Mountain Army seriously at all.
After listening to Li Tieniu's story, Yan Chen smiled and shook his head." What's there to be angry about?!"”
In fact, he was not surprised by the treatment they received on this trip. In fact, it was within his expectations. After all, there was only one throne, and everyone wanted to occupy the world.
Even if they were comrades of the Revolutionary Army, it was still the same!
Moreover, among the six volunteer armies, Bai Jun Mountain was not only the weakest, but also had a bad reputation in recent years. In their eyes, they had already given him face by accepting the invitation and not rejecting it.
As for the strongest Qingyuan Army and Hanlin Army, Yan Chen simply did not send any visiting cards. He expected that they would not accept them.
When the last messenger came back, it was already noon. Yan Chen ordered his men to pick up fourteen horses and lead the thirteen personal guards away, heading towards the first target.
The closest to Bai Shan was Changsheng Stronghold, which was only thirty to forty miles away. This volunteer army had a total of fourteen hundred soldiers, more than four times the size of the Bai Shan Army.
The two sides were very close to each other. Yan Chen and the others were fast. In less than half an hour, they arrived at the entrance of Changsheng Stronghold.
The gate was open and heavily guarded!
When the guards at the gate saw more than ten riders approaching, they immediately raised their weapons and blocked their path.
"Who are you? Report your name!"
Yan Chen was riding a white horse, his white clothes fluttering in the wind. Even the guards could not help but take a few more glances at him.
What a young hero!
Without waiting for Yan Chen to speak, Li Tieniu rode his horse forward and shouted,""The White Mountain Army's Young Marshal Yan Chen is here to pay a visit to the Fortress Lord of Changsheng!!”
Yan Chen, the commander of the White Mountain Army?
The guards at the gate immediately went in to report. Not long after, a group of people came out to welcome them.
The leader was a bearded man in chainmail armor. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had a saber on his waist. He was in his prime and looked rather imposing.
"Hahaha…"
He laughed and cupped his hands at Yan Chen, who was on the horse.""Everyone says that the White Mountain Army's young marshal is handsome and unparalleled. Now that I've seen him, he really lives up to his reputation!”
Yan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and returned the greeting with a smile. However, he remembered this person's identity in his heart.
Changsheng Stronghold Leader, Lu Guangxu!
I searched for a lot of information about Commander Xiang's Lightness Skill, but I couldn't find a name for it. I had no choice but to give it a name. If you don't like it, I hope you can scold me lightly.
