Chapter 203 Xiao Qi’s Ambition Was Shattered (II)
While the Jin army was full of morale, Xu Linghe deployed forces. The generals in the camp took his orders. As a female general, Madam Yu rushed to the front. Su Chenyang became a pioneer officer in the Jin army. Xiao Qi captured the fire tribe. Phoenix would not spare this man. It was not easy for Xiao Qi to dominate the three realms.
By the light of the lamp, Xu Linghe mobilized his troops. The sand table changed constantly. Wuyou took the Heavenly Army and all the disciples came to help fight. The great god of Teal Hill Jiang Tian ordered Yan to come to his aid. This was a battle of life and death.
Xiao Qi sat in the big camp of the Qi army and assembled 500,000 troops. The devil army of Mount Da Huang was controlled by the black shadow tribe. The fairy army, the fire tribe army, and the Qi army were commanded by Xiao Nai. Xiao Qi went to the Chaos again to ask Hongjun to help command. Wuyou and Hun Kun directly arrived at the Jin City, which made Xu Linghe surprised.
Xu Linghe was engaged in arranging the war affairs. Four hundred thousand soldiers were massed in Jin City. After supper, Xu Linghe went to the military camp again. Wuyou could not rest her heart, so she followed him. The moment they arrived at the military camp, Xu Linghe was pulled into the Commander-in-chief’s camp by Yan. Wuyou saw the back figure again. They sat down, and then the back figure took the military camp from the void and flipped his spiritual fingers to pin the layout map on the wall. In order to see it clearly, the back figure changed the map into a confrontation map. The black part was the devil army; the white part was the Qi army; the blue was the Jin army. Xu Linghe pointed out the locations of the black and white, which was only a mountain away from the blue part. Nowadays, how to disperse the black and the white’s attraction so that the blue could have the chance to take a breath? The war was imminent. It was only 10 kilometers away from the Dragon Cliff. Xu Linghe looked at the map and had a plan in his heart.
“You Majesty, what do you mean?” Those high-ranking military officers were more willing to hear Xu Linghe’s wise idea. Presently, the enemy was strong while they were weak. It was not so easy to win. But they knew that Xu Linghe had ideas.
“The enemy has not known clearly our locations. So we should not act rashly and blindly. Jin City is our dead point. Although it is built firmly, we should take action with great caution. We can be divided into several parts to distract the devil and the Qi armies. Forest attack is our strength. We should send armies to all the forts to attack the enemy in all directions. The larger the scale, the better it was. To let Xiao Qi know that the Qi army is unavoidable.”
“Everybody, do as what he said. To gather the hidden force first and wait for the order. Before that, no mistakes! Don’t expose yourselves. Whosoever dares to violate the order will be killed.”
The word “Kill” was resounded in the camp. Only the strict army would have morale like a fierce tiger’s. Those officers and soldiers understood what Xu Linghe meant.
“In the sake of safety, I will take two groups of soldiers to ambush in the road Xiao Qi will take.”
“The front line is dangerous. Please follow the army so that you can be taken care of.”
“The strong army is pressing hard at the border. It won’t work without a risky move. If the war starts, we must beat the enemy and make them afraid of us so that we can have the chance of taking a breath.”
Outside the camp, the hidden army was gathered. Madam Yu led the main force to hide in the forest while Xu Linghe led 20,000 soldiers to head to the east and west respectively. And the rest were divided into 10 small teams.
Wuyou followed her husband to the east and the west. In order to save time, they trotted ahead. The most important thing in the war was a fast speed. Since the Jin army was always trained strictly and had excellent physical ability, Wuyou could not catch up with them in hurrying on the journey. Soon, her little feet were worn out, but she still bore the pain. In fact, sorcery could help them faster, but the hidden forces did not know the sorcery, except some spirit cultivators. Therefore, Wuyou had to follow the troops without any stop, just fearing she would delay the opportunity for war. Xu Linghe knew his little woman was tired. They would have taken a rest if it had been the common times. But today was different from the common days. They had to arrive there in advance and ambush the eastern and western routes where the devil army would pass. Though the hidden forces were relatively weak, they were good at sneak-attack. A fewer number of people could conduct an agiler attack. They just spent an hour arriving at the Western Front and then found a hidden place for camping.
Twenty-five kilometers away was the Xiao Qi’s temporary camp. Xiao Qi was deploying the military forces. The black shadow tribe hurried here from Mount Da Huang temporarily with the devil army to help.
At the same time, something big happened in the Immense Sea. Yuan Xueyi hurt Zhu Jiuyin by mistake. Contradictions escalated. Ying Yu came to arrest her one morning. She could have run away, but to his surprise, Yuan Xueyi had left a way out. The whole Yuan Family formed their troops. It was still late for Zhu Jiuyin to hear the news as Yuan Xueyi had left there. Those finger men the Emperor had arranged were killed before the front gate. Punishing someone as a warning to others always worked to the timid people. However, for those who were bold and not afraid of death, it meant nothing but instead, stored up huge problems for Yuan Xueyi as things worsened. And the problems came true in two days—several families of the Immense Sea allied with Yuan Xueyi to rebel.
The whole people of the Qi Kingdom were divided into the northern part and the southern part from then on. The southern belonged to Yuan Xueyi, while Zhu Jiuyin occupied the northern part. The once entire Immense Sea was divided into two, between the two sides was dragged out. Afraid that Yuan Xueyi would push to the north and deprive the throne, Zhu Jiuyin rushed to the Ninth-level Heaven for help. Unluckily, Emperor Jun had been dead, and those stubborn men were killed and the rest of the people surrendered to Jiang Wuyou. After asking around, Zhu Jiuyin learned that Feng Xi had been killed, too. As Feng Xi’s confidant, he certainly could not tolerate it. As he failed to get help, Di Qing had no way but to deploy the military force by himself. As the Commander-in-chief, Ying Yu did not decline but to shoulder the responsibility. Yuan Xueyi’s betray caused the Immense Sea to fall into the war.
It was useless for Zhu Jiuyin to regret that he had saved Yuan Xueyi. It was time to face reality. In fact, he took advantage of the power to kill his brother so that he could become the king of the Immense Sea. However, Yuan Xueyi had turned against him. He decided to punish her. Yuan Xueyi not only helped Kunlun steal the Mirror of Reincarnation but also returned kindness with ingratitude. He would never let her off. Since the woman was unkind to him, he would not spare her. If he hadn’t saved her, this wouldn’t have happened. He regretted that he had not killed the wicked woman. In the south, thanks to the several families’ help, Yuan Xueyi occupied three cities stably, so that she doubled her territory. In the north, Zhu Jiuyin was sleepless to discuss with his subordinates about countermeasures. Ying Yu had never been in a war, so he did not know anything about a fight. Yuan Xueyi was in a different situation. Those families had many talents. They helped give advice, and their purpose, of course, was to make Zhu Jiuyin abdicate, so he lost the battles in the later confrontations. Only then did Zhu Jiuyin realize how terrible it was for him to save this woman! He regretted having saved Yuan Xueyi. However, even he killed Yuan Xueyi tens of thousands of times, it was still useless. Anyway, it was Zhu Jiuyin himself who gave the order and looked down upon his opponent. It brought disasters to the decision-maker. The main fighting troops were brought back to the Immense Sea from the north. In this way, the military force in the imperial court lessened to the half, which was great to Yuan Xueyi.
Xu Linghe stood on the top of the mountain to watch out the mixed vital army’s movement. The mixed vital army, who should press hard into the forest, was retreated half. Did anything big happen? Xu Linghe sent a scout to check. After an hour, the scout came back and told him the information. Xu Linghe was rather shocked and did not expect that the human world was in chaos, and the people there were in deep distress, which made him rather concerned. Only when the country was peaceful and prosperous could its people live a contented life. Xu Linghe didn’t kill Di Qing before, just because he was afraid of the chaos it might cause in the Qi Kingdom. He had never expected that Lin Feiyang killed Di Qing, and Xiao Qi gained a lot from it. Di Qing died suddenly. It was the time to substitute a new regime for the old. All in all, only the people suffered. Xu Linghe belonged to the immortal realm, and safeguarding the peace was his responsibility. He knew it well, but he did not foresee that the human world still had to suffer the chaos. But now what Xu Linghe concerned most was to settle the current issue—it was related to the little woman’s homeland. He couldn’t let Xiao Qi do what he wanted to do recklessly in the human world. Xu Linghe asked the soldiers to prepare the crossbows and rub the Melting Souls Liquid on the bows. As long as the fairy army was stained with the liquid, they would vanish immediately. It was prepared by Xu Linghe for the hidden force because the fairy army gathered the Qi of the corpse souls.
Xiao Qi commanded the army and let the fairy army and the mixed vital army attack them from both sides and pushed from east to west. Yan had hidden in the mountain forest already.
The suspicious places were destroyed by the fairy army. Looking at fiercely burning firelight, Xu Linghe led a group of soldiers to follow up secretly. The fairy army’s purpose was to find the hidden force beachheads and wipe them out.
Xiao Qi moved forward with the main force. He wanted to urge in person. The devil army felt boosted at the news, and each of them cheered up. With Xiao Qi’s order, the main force entered the forest. The scout hurried to tell the news, and then Yan let the soldiers disperse so that they could attack suddenly. Then, soldiers all hid in the fortresses. As long as the fairy army came into the siege, they could annihilate them. Xiao Qi wore the armor and held Baize’s wand in his hand. First, Yan sent a group of hidden forces to allure the fairy army. Eagles howled in the forest, and the prey screamed sadly. The fairy army kicked the prey with alert. However, his legs were tied by Spiritual Power. Then, little soldiers came up to stab knives to them. Next second, the soldier turned into smoke. And then, the fairy army’s awful screams filled the forest. Xiao Qi rushed there at the sound, and was shocked at the scene—the scout whom he had sent out was peeled off skins and hung on the branch. How cruel it was! The fairy’s soldiers were reluctant to move on at the sight of their dead brother. However, Yu Xuanji would not withdraw. If the scout’s information was true, the hidden force’s underground was hidden in the forest. If she was able to find out the entrance, she could make achievements and then Chidi would give Xiao Qi more power. If a woman fell in love with a man, she would lose herself and become more sensitive. Yu Xuanji’s obsession was rather pure but deadly. For Xiao Qi, she was ready to give up everything, including the secular power. She had forgotten her initial intent. Xiao Qi was her weak point. And in the name of helping Xiaoyao, Xiao Qi extended his ambition. Yu Xuanji knew Xiao Qi’s plan well but was still willing to do everything for him. Was there still time for her when she woke up to reality one day?
Yan asked soldiers to move up slowly and gather like a great net. Because Baize’s soldiers were not familiar with the territory, they were forced to a narrow cave by the hidden forces. They realized they were cheated the moment they came into the cave. Some struggled to come out, but the hidden forces blocked the cave. Flame cannonballs were shot in. Yan peeped through the crack at the charred corpses and let out a sigh. Yu Xuanji was in the trap, but she did not realize it at all. At the same time, her Baize’s soldiers were wiped out one by one. The beasts’ frightening scream rang in the desolate forest, and wilted leaves rustled under the feet. Yu Xuanji looked around warily. Yan kept an eye on the woman and thought that the woman was bold indeed who dared to invade the hidden force’s place. Well, she could come here but had little chance to return. Baize was Teal Hill’s strong opponent. If Baize had not helped the wolf tribe in the dark, how could Chidi and the Wolf King have extinguished Teal Hill so easily? Yan gave an order, and then all the hidden forces in the forest rushed out in all directions. Yu Xuanji waved her wands and cleaved to the hidden force. Baize’s officers protected their Goddess carefully with waving sabers and flashing spirit light. However, the hidden force had been well prepared. They dispersed in all directions. And Baize’s officers exerted another attack. Yan condensed spirit power and gave a palm to the officer. Baize was the weakest tribe in the goblin realm. Even if the Baize’s officers were not at a high level. Although Yan’s Spirit Power was not so high, he was an expert in the hidden force and was enough to handle Baize’s soldiers. His palm hit a number of soldiers to the ground. The fairy’s officer took several steps back, but seeing his king remain calm, he had to brave all rebuffs. Xiao Qi chanted the spell, and the sand flowed in clouds immediately in the forest.
