Sheng Fu

Chapter 1162: Consider it a visit to an ungrateful old friend.

The next day, in the morning.

Yuwen Jun constructed a void passage to teleport 35,000 Azure Dragon Army soldiers to the Divine Realm.

Excluding the 30,000 Qinglong Army, Suo Chengguo originally had more than 10,000 troops, but they had been greatly depleted in past wars, leaving only 5,000. In addition, with various reinforcements dispatched to other regions, Suo Chengguo's own direct troops numbered less than 2,000.

Within the vast city.

Wu Mi led two thousand halberd warriors out of the city to welcome them. On both sides of the street, the human people stopped to watch, firecrackers went off and gongs and drums resounded. Faced with such a grand scene, the gods instinctively chose to stay indoors.

There remains a deep divide between the two ethnic groups in terms of faith and tradition.

However, under the new political system, people of both ethnicities have always been treated equally.

Furthermore, politics that lacks humanistic concern cannot last.

Today, Suo Chengguo rode his first-class flying yellow horse, wearing a purple-gold armor and holding a long spear. Guan Chong and Huang Teng accompanied him, and he was in high spirits.

Back when he was a junior officer in the capital, Suo Chengguo never imagined that he would have such a grand occasion.

Wu Mi, dressed in black and gold armor, slowly stepped forward, deliberately cupping his hands in a fist salute to Suo Chengguo and grinning, saying, "General, how have you been?"

Upon seeing this, Suo Chengguo immediately dismounted, quickly approached Wu Mi, bowed deeply, and said, "You flatter me. I cannot accept such courtesy. It is too much of a burden for me."

Suo Chengguo had personally witnessed Wu Mi's fierce prowess on the battlefield. On several occasions, if it weren't for Wu Mi's blood spear coming to the rescue, Suo Chengguo would have already died on the battlefield.

Therefore, Suo Chengguo's reverence for Wu Mi was equal to that for Yuwen Jun.

Wu Mi glanced at Guan Chong and Huang Teng behind Suo Chengguo out of the corner of her eye before patting Suo Chengguo on the shoulder and laughing heartily, "A banquet has been prepared in the city, but today, I will be the one drinking with you. Zhang Benchu, Guo Shenghe, and Gao Zhi have already begun to mobilize their troops, and the war is about to begin."

"Therefore, the banquet today is somewhat lackluster, please don't take it to heart."

Suo Chengguo frowned slightly, about to ask a question, when Wu Mi said directly, "The Divine Clan's Grand Marshal Ji Yong has arrived in Changmao Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Suo Chengguo's heart skipped a beat.

"But that doesn't affect our welcoming banquet for the Azure Dragon Army today," Wu Mi said with a smile.

Suo Chengguo nodded with a look of fear.

Immediately afterwards, the army entered the inner city.

……

The highest point of Lianheng Mountain.

Yuwen Jun, Li Hongshan, Yue Bo, Nan Zhuo, He Guang, Liang Che and other generals stood side by side, gazing at the magnificent Changmao Prefecture in the distance.

At the edge of the horizon, the walls of Changmao Prefecture stood thick and towering. On the city tower, patrolling soldiers marched with firm steps and high spirits. Below the walls, the grass and trees were turning yellow, and the post road stretched out. Although it did not exude a sense of grimness, it did exude the aura of an impregnable fortress.

Ji Yong has arrived.

Yuwen Jun had just returned to the Divine Realm when he received this news, which inevitably made him feel somewhat melancholy.

For the Divine Realm military, Ji Nan's death on the battlefield was acceptable, but if Ji Yong died on the battlefield, the morale of the entire Divine Realm army would collapse.

Yuwen Jun frowned, while Li Hongshan, standing beside him, said with a grim face, "There are no arrangements under the city wall, clearly indicating that they are adopting a strategy of remaining unmoved."

"Ji Yong's personal guarding of Changmao Prefecture means that Tiemang City is destined to suffer a fierce attack from the Demon Wolf Riders."

Strategically speaking, we are already in a passive position.

Nan Zhuo, He Guang, and Liang Che were also quickly calculating and deducing in their minds, but they could not come up with a feasible solution in a short time.

If they all go to support Tie Mang City, then Ji Yong will surely lead a large army to launch a fierce attack on Lian Heng Mountain, and then take advantage of the situation to recover the land.

But if he didn't go to support Iron Mang City, he worried that Iron Mang City wouldn't be able to hold out. "So, my head isn't enough to sway Ji Yong?" Yuwen Jun sneered, mocking himself.

Li Hongshan remained silent, unsure of how to respond.

If we launch a direct attack on Changmao Prefecture, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and we may not even be able to capture it.

Yue Bo then said, "Why don't I lead my troops immediately to provoke them?"

Yuwen Jun shook his head and said, "It's pointless now. If Ji Yong is determined to be a coward, there's nothing anyone can do about it."

Yue Bo's expression hardened, and he stared at Yuwen Jun with great doubt, asking in a deep voice, "Then what does Your Highness mean?"

Yuwen Jun smiled helplessly and said, "I'll lead the army to provoke them myself."

Yue Bo looked slightly bewildered and said, "You were the one who provoked us from the beginning. Doesn't that make us seem anxious? The more anxious we are, the more unscrupulous Ji Yong will become, and he will further make things difficult for us in terms of morale and mindset."

Yuwen Jun stretched and said, "If I'm not mistaken, His Majesty the Emperor will arrive in the Iron Mang City in the next two days, and the two monarchs will fight side by side once again."

"Furthermore, I'm not sure if those two can gain an advantage by joining forces."

"But one thing is certain: the Demon King will definitely join forces with Mu Chun, and the Eternal True Essence within the Demon King's body will be even more substantial than that within Mu Chun's body."

"Therefore, we are not merely provoking."

"Instead, we need to completely adopt a do-or-die attitude."

"You have to fight hard from the very beginning."

Upon hearing this, Yue Bo could only remain silent, for some accounts could not withstand close scrutiny.

Nan Zhuo glanced at He Guang and Liang Che, then stepped forward and bowed to Yuwen Jun, asking, "My lord, may we three go together to provoke them?"

"For Ji Yong, the heads of three soul masters are worth the risk."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongshan grinned and said, "Why don't we all go up and provoke him together? We'll have enough manpower. If Ji Yong can kill us all, he will become an eternal monument in the history of the Divine Realm!"

Yuwen Jun raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes playful: "Although it's a bad idea, it's not impossible."

Upon hearing this, Li Hongshan nearly lost his composure in the wind.

"I was just saying, Your Highness, please don't take it seriously!" Li Hongshan said, sounding unsure of himself.

Yuwen Jun countered, "Could it be that the Grand Preceptor is afraid?"

Li Hongshan sneered slightly, "Since I'm fighting alongside Your Highness, why would I be afraid?"

Yuwen Jun smiled knowingly, then looked at Yue Bo.

Yue Bo's lips curled up, and then he whistled. A moment later, a series of powerful tiger roars came from behind, and a magnificent black tiger with wings descended to Yue Bo's side in an instant.

Yuwen Jun raised his hand, and in an instant, the sky exploded, revealing the Yinglong, a dragon that blotted out the sun.

“Let’s go, let’s go take a look together. I’ve seen Ji Yong from a distance before, but you haven’t seen him yet. Consider it a visit to an old friend who doesn’t know how to appreciate your hospitality,” Yuwen Jun said with a hearty laugh.

In an instant, Yue Bo rode the black tiger and charged out first, followed closely by Yuwen Jun, Li Hongshan, and others who stood on Yinglong's skull.

Between heaven and earth, the roars of dragons and tigers echoed, stirring up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

On the city wall of Changmao Prefecture.

Upon seeing and sensing that terrifying pressure, the patrolling soldiers were all greatly shocked and their faces showed fear.

Just then, Ji Yong, Ji Nan, Luo Fu, and others appeared on the city wall.
