The Ancient Spirit Cat smiled meaningfully and said, "I never expected you to be such a wicked person!"

Yuwen Jun looked into the distance and sighed helplessly, saying, "I have no choice. Not to mention that I have cultivated the Chaos Emperor Qi, even with only the original Dragon Clan's blessing, once I enter the Boundless Realm, I will become a thorn in the side of the Human Emperor, the Spirit Emperor, and the God Emperor."

"I must uphold justice and fairness, but I also need to protect myself."

"If my family falls into ruin, you won't live long either."

"We are now in the same boat."

The Primordial Spirit Cat pondered for a long time in the void before slowly replying, "What you say is absolutely right. Looking back now, choosing to follow you in the human capital was not only the right choice, but also the only choice."

……

As dusk fell, the capital city gradually returned to its bustling state, but the air was still filled with the lingering sadness of the Prime Minister's departure.

Inside the Human Emperor's Dojo.

Xu Canghai stood outside the Daoist temple, while the Human Emperor sat cross-legged inside, his Purple Star True Essence roaring like the rising sun, illuminating all things.

"Things are a bit troublesome. Gods and demons have formed an alliance. Whether Iron Mang City can be defended has become the most important thing." Xu Canghai said with his head down, trying his best to maintain a calm state of mind.

Li Hongshan had already sent word. Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor slowly opened his eyes. The all-encompassing Purple Star True Essence within his body abruptly ceased, like a magnificent waterfall suddenly interrupted.

"How confident is Yuwen Jun in breaking through Changmao Prefecture?" the Emperor asked rhetorically.

Xu Canghai looked troubled and said, "Ji Yong is personally guarding Changmao Prefecture. Even if we break through Changmao Prefecture and launch a direct battle, Yuwen Jun, the Grand Tutor, and the Commander-in-Chief may not be able to win."

"At present, Yuwen Jun and his group are at a disadvantage."

Upon hearing this, the Human Emperor rolled his eyes and sneered, "You really know how to play the game. Knowing that the Spirit Clan's territory has not been ravaged by war, you're thinking of striking with lightning speed to break the deadlock."

"Could it be that the remaining Origin Chips are actually within the territory of the Spirit Race?"

Xu Canghai remained silent; he never spoke about things he didn't know.

The Emperor instinctively asked, "How is the Demon Realm?"

Xu Canghai's gaze remained calm as he truthfully replied, "Your Highness and Gu Cheng have worked together seamlessly, and have already mined various ores in that shattered half of the land. Trade development has gradually gotten on track, but it will take until at least next summer for it to be fully on track."

"Although Gu Cheng has the strength to fight, he cannot leave his post without considering the feelings of the people of the demon realm."

The Emperor coldly smiled and said, "In a battle like this, it would be futile for Gu Cheng to go."

Suddenly, the Human Emperor stood in front of Xu Canghai.

"The Dean has led his army to Iron Mang City, totaling 50,000 White Deer soldiers, with eight Lingxiao experts following him," Xu Canghai said with a slight bow.

The emperor nodded and walked straight towards the imperial study.

It's quite interesting to think about it. Pu Weiqing's first time in the military happened to be on a grand occasion that was rarely seen. Even the Emperor thought that Pu Weiqing's military career started at a very high level.

……

Night falls in the Iron Manor City.

The city was brightly lit, and cheers echoed throughout.

Amidst great anticipation, Pu Weiqing, clad in azure-gold armor and with a long sword at his waist, slowly entered the sight of the Spirit Clan soldiers.

Huo Mu and Qing Yue accompanied Pu Weiqing, with eight Lingxiao generals behind them.

At the forefront, Prince Zhen'an, Qi Han, and a group of key figures descended the steps and strode towards Pu Weiqing.

The Prince of Zhen'an was grinning from ear to ear as he strode toward Pu Weiqing, his face beaming with excitement. "The arrival of the peerless general is a great honor to our humble abode, Iron Mang City."

"I have long heard of the reputation of the number one swordsman of the human race. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary and has a magnificent presence!" In the night, this prince with his imposing appearance appeared particularly majestic and imposing.

Upon seeing this, Pu Weiqing instinctively cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Pu Weiqing, commander-in-chief of the White Deer Army, greets Your Highness!"

Prince Zhen'an quickly helped Pu Weiqing up by the arms, then opened his arms and hugged Pu Weiqing tightly, shouting loudly: "All troops, listen to my command! From now on, when you see Commander Pu, treat him as if he were me. Anyone who shows disrespect will be executed without mercy!"

At the command, all the Spirit Clan soldiers in the city knelt on one knee, bowed with both hands, and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Commander Pu! Commander, you are mighty!"

"The handsome man is mighty!"

"The General is mighty..."

The shouts were deafening, as if they wanted to shatter the endless night.

Then Prince Zhen'an whispered to Pu Weiqing, "Now that you're here, I feel more confident. The Flying Dragon Cavalry will also be under your command."

"I've always been a straightforward person, please bear with me, Commander!"

Pu Weiqing was so impressed by the Prince of Zhen'an's warm and cheerful manner that he was momentarily stunned.

But he didn't know that in the heart of the Prince of Zhen'an, although Pu Weiqing only had 50,000 troops under his command, the weight of Commander Pu was higher than that of Yue Bo.

He was the dean of Bailu Academy, a close friend of Gu Yong, and the mentor of the Empress's successor.

Both emotionally and logically, Prince Zhen'an felt that Pu Weiqing was more approachable.

Under countless expectant and awe-inspiring gazes, Pu Weiqing humbly and firmly said, "Having just arrived and not yet accomplished anything, I am truly unworthy of such a high position."

Upon hearing this, Prince Zhen'an grabbed Pu Weiqing's hand and led him to the highest, brightly lit banquet table. He laughed heartily and said, "If you cannot bear this honor, then perhaps no one in the world can."

"Tonight, we brothers will drink until we drop."

"In fact, everyone knows that you are not only the number one swordsman of the human race, but also the sharpest sword in the world."

"Where the sword points, it will surely sweep away all demons and purify the world!"

Given the Prince of Zhen'an's deep affection and kindness, Pu Weiqing felt it would be impolite to refuse. If he continued to decline, it would be that Pu Weiqing was ungrateful.

Although the dean of Bailu Academy is a civil servant, Pu Weiqing has always had a clear and pure heart for swordsmanship.

Before they knew it, the group had arrived at the center of the banquet hall on the high platform.

Prince Zhen'an raised Pu Weiqing's right arm and shouted, "Brothers, let the feast begin!"

However, just as people were about to celebrate, the void in the night distorted, and the Prince of Zhen'an and the others all looked in that direction with suspicion.

In a short while, Yuwen Jun appeared in everyone's sight.

"Am I too early or too late?" Yuwen Jun asked tactfully upon seeing the grand spectacle of Tie Mang City.

Prince Zhen'an laughed heartily and said, "Not too early, not too late, just right."

Prince Zhen'an was very excited tonight. He reached out his hand, and an invisible force pulled Yuwen Jun closer.

"Tonight, the three of us brothers must drink to our hearts' content!" Prince Zhen'an patted Yuwen Jun on the shoulder and laughed heartily.

Yuwen Jun glanced at Pu Weiqing, whose expression was as calm as an old dog, out of the corner of his eye, and quickly whispered to the Prince of Zhen'an, "On the matter of seniority, each person should act according to their own standards."

Prince Zhen'an was not quite there to react at first, but when he saw Pu Weiqing's expression, which was hard to decipher, he burst into laughter and said, "I see, then we shall follow Your Highness's opinion!"

Immediately, the Prince of Zhen'an shouted to the entire Iron Mang City, "Brothers, the feast begins!" (End of Chapter)
