Sheng Fu

Chapter 1102: Careless

Yuwen Jun smiled smugly and said, "The two of them are currently inside the Ji family mansion."

"It's a pity that I don't have a large army under my command, making it difficult to form an encirclement, but it doesn't matter."

"Let's go, we'll march on the Ji family now."

Li Hongshan was completely baffled. After a moment, he fixed his heavy gaze on Chu Yu.

This child, though of demonic blood, possesses extraordinary talent.

"You really do have some talented people under your command," Li Hongshan exclaimed.

Yuwen Jun chuckled and said, "He is also one of Gu Yong's successors. In terms of seniority, he is my junior brother and also the Yongle King of the Spirit Clan."

"However, the Yongle Prince is still young and has not yet taken power, so there is no need to expect him to mobilize his army."

Li Hongshan was speechless.

The title "King Yongle" immediately suggests a prince who requires no worries.

But when he thought about Gu Yong's child being in the Spirit Clan, he knew that this Yongle King was destined to become a powerful figure in the Spirit Clan's court, second only to the emperor.

"Li Hongshan greets Your Highness." Li Hongshan bowed solemnly to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu was also slightly uncomfortable with this scene. After thinking for a moment, she returned the greeting and said, "Senior, please forgive my rudeness. If there are any shortcomings in the future, I hope you can give me some pointers."

Li Hongshan smiled politely and said, "Certainly, certainly. It would be a great blessing in life to become friends with Your Highness despite the age difference."

Yuwen Jun, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to listen any longer and coughed slightly, saying, "He's still a child."

"Your Excellency, there is no need to be so cautious."

"Furthermore, this child is very shrewd and is definitely not the kind of child the Grand Preceptor imagines."

Li Hongshan replied slyly, "I haven't imagined anything. Don't try to smear me."

Yuwen Jun snorted and said, "Stop talking about this, let's go to Ziqi Mountain first."

"Yinglong and I will lead the way, while the Grand Preceptor awaits my message at the foot of the mountain."

Li Hongshan asked with slight concern, "Should we order His Majesty to personally lead the expedition?"

Yuwen Jun shook his head and said, "No need. Although my cultivation is shallow, if the Chaos Emperor Qi is added to Yinglong's body, it will be enough to rival the combined forces of Ji Zhongtian and Yang He."

"Furthermore, Her Majesty the Queen is currently seriously injured and unable to go out."

Li Hongshan paused, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Okay," Li Hongshan nodded.

……

In the square behind Chaotian Peak.

The moonlight was hazy, and dark clouds surged in the night sky.

The square was not as crowded as one might expect; only Ji Zhongtian and Yang He were present.

Ji Zhongtian looked embarrassed, as did Yang He. They had reached a dead end, and all their brilliant ideals had vanished like bubbles.

Although they still have the power to fight back, unfortunately, their strength is too weak.

"The only hope now is to take advantage of the fact that the new policies have not yet been fully implemented, and with the help of the family, to gain a foothold in the human race's temple. Although the Human Emperor is unwilling, we can delay as long as we can," Ji Zhongtian said with a weathered expression.

If we can hold out until autumn, when the Divine Emperor will lead his army south, that would be best.

Of course, this is all predicated on the God Emperor being able to easily reclaim the three city-states and the divine army crossing the North Sea. At that point, there will still be a chance for everything.

In fact, the two of them still had a chance to seek refuge with the God Emperor, but unfortunately the God Emperor did not seem to want to welcome them. Moreover, if they were to seek refuge in the God Emperor when they were desperate, they would inevitably suffer a lot of humiliation at his hands.

Furthermore, with Wan Xin already dead, the resources Yang He and Ji Zhongtian possess are not worth the Emperor's attention.

In the past and present, I can only rely on myself to navigate things.

Suddenly, the night sky was torn apart, and a huge dragon head looked down over the entire Chaotian Peak. Ji Zhongtian and Yang He looked up and saw Yuwen Jun standing inside the Dragon King's skull, looking down on the world with an air of dominance.

In a short while, Yinglong's figure, which blotted out the sky, hovered above the two of them.

Yang He was about to unleash his true energy when Ji Zhongtian stopped him.

Ji Zhongtian, looking confident of victory, stepped forward and said, "I didn't expect you to make such rapid progress, finding the two of us so quickly."

"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young."

Upon seeing this, Yuwen Jun sighed inwardly, thinking, "He truly is an old fox; even in the face of great calamity, he can still maintain such composure."

However, upon closer examination, finding a legitimate reason to destroy the Ji family of the North is indeed a very, very difficult task.

Despite being at his wit's end, Ji Zhongtian still had the resources to remain composed.

Yuwen Jun was cautious and did not leave Yinglong's protection. He stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Shen Jun has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light. I wonder what the two seniors think?"

Ji Zhongtian remained unmoved; businessmen, after all, have always been spineless.

"Does this mean we should also kneel down and pay homage to you, obey your orders, and implement the new policies at any cost?" Ji Zhongtian's eyes were as cold as iron as he grinned.

Yuwen Jun said dismissively, "Forget it, let's decide the winner first."

Ji Zhongtian said firmly, "If you destroy this Purple Qi Mountain, tomorrow morning, the court and the people will be in turmoil, internal strife will break out, and order will completely collapse. You can try it if you don't believe me!"

The Ji family participated in a rebellion and colluded with foreign enemies.

Unfortunately, there was no evidence to bring these matters to light, and the entire Qinghe Prefecture still depended on the Ji family for its livelihood.

Once Ji Jiameng falls from power, it will cause great turmoil in both the imperial court and among the common people. At this moment, Yang He also made a gesture, and in an instant, countless black shadows emerged from the entire Purple Qi Mountain Range, approaching the plaza at the back of the mountain.

Yuwen Jun's eyes burned with golden-red flames, and upon looking around, he indeed saw an army of 100,000.

"The Purple Qi Mountains can hide hundreds of thousands of soldiers, yet you only managed to hide 100,000," Yuwen Jun sneered.

An army of 100,000 men, once they appear within the range of the Purple Qi Mountains, is nothing but a rabble.

Yang He replied, “If you dare to make any rash moves, I will hold you back, and my army will immediately break out of the Purple Qi Mountains and launch a massacre in Fuyang County and even Qinghe Prefecture.”

"Although Yinglong is brave, he is absolutely no match for this army of 100,000."

Yuwen Jun's gaze was like lightning, and his chaotic imperial aura surged within him as he sneered, "Are you threatening me?"

Yang He, however, remained calm and composed, saying, "It's just about reasoning."

"Even though we're at our wits' end, we're definitely not someone a little kid like you can mess with."

Ji Zhongtian also smiled coldly and said, "There is still a possibility of negotiating terms between us. I wonder what you think, young friend?"

As the group talked, not far away, Ji Tong led a group of armored direct descendants of the clan in a fierce manner. When he saw his grandfather again, a glimmer of hope flashed in Ji Tong's eyes.

Gradually, the fear and unease that Ji Tong had felt earlier dissipated.

As long as my grandfather comes out of retirement, there is still a chance.

Hu Yuan also gripped his sword tightly, staring intently at Yinglong, which was hovering high in the sky.

Ji Tong, with an arrogant expression, shouted at Yuwen Jun, "You dare to come to Ziqi Mountain all alone and cause trouble? Who gave you the guts?"

At the same time, the entire Purple Qi Mountain Range activated its energy field, exuding endless killing intent.

Yuwen Jun even sensed a mixture of Primordial True Essence and Ziwei True Essence, indicating that a large number of Holy Spirit Stones were hidden deep underground in the entire Purple Qi Mountain Range.

Even if we disregard Yuwen Jun, or even His Majesty the Emperor himself, he might not be able to escape unscathed if he were trapped in such a large-scale arena.

The God Emperor used the killing formation built from Holy Spirit Stones to inflict heavy damage on the Demon Lord.

"Actually, we can talk. We dare to come back, so naturally we are not afraid of you, much less His Majesty the Emperor," Ji Zhongtian said, feigning nonchalance.

In the original plan of the Purple Gold Alliance, the Purple Qi Mountain Range would also become the site of the decisive battle between the new Alliance Leader and His Majesty the Human Emperor.

Unfortunately, the initial plan remained just a plan.

Yuwen Jun himself could hardly believe that he had unwittingly found himself in such a predicament.

I got a little impulsive tonight...

Chu Yu could only locate the source of the danger; she couldn't fully understand the hidden dangers within the mountains and terrain.

It's not entirely Chu Yu's fault, after all, even the Demon Lord back then couldn't detect the killing formation built of Holy Spirit Stones in advance.

At this moment, Yuwen Jun had completely eliminated the possibility of subduing the enemy without fighting.

"Hiding a large number of soldiers is a capital offense!" Yuwen Jun shouted in a deep voice.

Ji Zhongtian's move left neither himself nor Yuwen Jun with a way out.

“I know, but you have no choice. Even if the Emperor leads his army to destroy the entire Ji family tomorrow, you are destined to be buried with the Ji family tonight. So, we still have room for negotiation.” Ji Zhongqi said calmly.

Ji Zhongtian never expected that Yuwen Jun would dare to come directly to the Purple Qi Mountain Range to knock on the gate, nor did he expect that His Majesty the Human Emperor would ask Yuwen Jun to deal with the remaining forces of the Purple Gold Alliance. Yuwen Jun never dreamed that there were a large number of Holy Spirit Stones in the Purple Qi Mountain Range.

Having cultivated its strength in secret for many years, the Purple Gold Alliance naturally possesses a profound foundation.

In this battle, Yuwen Jun underestimated his opponent.

Even if the Demon Queen were to come to the rescue now, she would still perish in the Purple Qi Mountains if a deadly battle broke out.

Even if the Emperor himself led the expedition, it would be in vain, because the Emperor's injuries had not yet healed and he was not strong enough to withstand this large field.

"You still have an unfinished grand undertaking to complete, and you don't want to perish halfway through, do you..." Yang He said proudly, holding a silver spear in his hand.

It seems that Yuwen Jun had no other choice but to compromise.

"How do you want to talk?" Yuwen Jun asked calmly.

With this grand formation in place, the Ji family can remain invincible, at least for the time being.

When all hope seems lost, if a brief strategic respite can be gained, then anything is still possible.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zhongtian also fell into confusion.

Yes, how do we negotiate?
Either way, it's all about death. Even if you survive temporarily, you'll still face endless pursuit. Leading an army of 100,000 and carrying all the Holy Spirit Stones to the Divine Realm, the God Emperor might not even welcome you.

Moreover, the Divine Emperor naturally hoped that a fierce and heroic battle to quell the rebellion would break out within the Purple Qi Mountains, ideally dragging the Human Emperor down with him.

"Let me think about it carefully," Ji Zhongtian said, both amused and exasperated.

Yuwen Jun silently asked himself, "Do you have a good plan?"

The Primordial Spirit Cat replied, "We are sensing the location of these Holy Spirit Stones, but unfortunately, the chances are slim. You cannot send messages through the void at this moment. Even if you find the weakness of this field, it will be difficult for you to fight your way out with your cultivation level."

"The array built with Holy Spirit Stones was originally flawless. Even the Demon Lord could only rely on his own power to forcibly break the array, but he also suffered great damage to his own strength."

"Delay the inevitable. If that doesn't work, then we'll have no choice but to engage in a humiliating negotiation."

Yuwen Jun wanted to curse, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

at the foot of the mountain.

Li Hongshan, Shen Jun, and Chu Yu stared at the overwhelming aura of the Holy Spirit within the mountains, their faces grim and helpless. Everything depended on Yuwen Jun's fate…
