Sheng Fu

Chapter 1168 Stabilize the Situation First

Yuwen Jun looked at Jing Peiyao quietly, momentarily confused, and slowly said, "Speak freely!"

I always felt that Jing Peiyao was going to do something really big.

"I want to try to break through the protective barrier of Changmao Prefecture with you and break through to the Lingxiao Realm, just like you broke through the Holy Spirit Stone Formation back then," Jing Peiyao said, word by word.

Yuwen Jun subconsciously raised his hand to rub his forehead; it had been a long time since he had sweated instantly.

I've always thought that it's child's play for women to be strong-willed.

Now I realize that Jing Peiyao's strong will is truly a sign that she doesn't intend to die!
Seeing that Yuwen Jun was not in a good mood, Jing Peiyao calmly asked, "What's wrong? Are you in a difficult situation?"

Yuwen Jun said helplessly, "I broke through the Purple Gold Alliance's trap out of sheer desperation, and with the help of the Human Emperor in secret, luck accounted for 99% of the reason."

"As for the defensive area of ​​Changmao Prefecture, no one knows the specific layout, but even a child could guess that there must be a Primordial True Essence killing move left by the Divine Emperor."

"Although this field is not blessed by the Holy Spirit Stone, it is personally guarded by Ji Yong, so its killing power is undoubtedly strong. I can agree to everything else, but not this one."

"Absolutely not!"

"Furthermore, your Ziwei True Essence is weaker than my Chaos Emperor Qi. It's impossible for you to succeed in using a foreign method to improve your own in such an environment. Give up on that idea."

Jing Peiyao didn't seem to react much to what he said.

The Empress's successor calmly replied, "But if I casually wield my Purple Star Holy Sword, it's equivalent to a critical strike from a Limitless expert."

That's not entirely wrong. If Jing Peiyao were given a chance to launch a sneak attack, even Ji Yong might not be able to survive.

Clearly, even if Jing Peiyao had a chance to launch a sneak attack, she couldn't seize it.

At the peak of the Returning Origin realm, half a step into the Sky Realm, how could one possibly shake a Limitless expert?

Even with powerful weapons in hand, it's more like a child wielding a sword and swaggering around the city—nothing to be afraid of.

Yuwen Jun frowned slightly, squinted at Jing Peiyao, and asked very seriously, "Are you absolutely determined?"

Jing Peiyao nodded firmly and said, "Having cultivated to this point, one must face a bloody battle to achieve ultimate sublimation."

Success or failure can happen in the blink of an eye.

"Even if it fails, it's just death. If you don't even dare to die, how can you talk about cultivation?"

Yuwen Jun was at a loss for words.

What Jing Peiyao said does align with the general principles of cultivation, but things are not done that way. Many things cannot be carried out rigidly according to so-called principles.

At this moment, Yuwen Jun's biggest worry was that Jing Peiyao would sneak off to Changmao Prefecture to challenge them without even a word.

After much deliberation, Yuwen Jun decided to calm Jing Peiyao down first, and said softly, "Having a strong conviction is a good thing, but only a pure conviction can be called the Way."

"You should go into seclusion for a few days. After I have investigated the specific nature of that protective area, I will discuss it with you."

"In short, don't rush."

“The more Zhang Benchu ​​and his men challenge us outside Changmao Prefecture, the more offensive their insults become, and the more Ji Yong retreats into his shell. This also helps boost our morale. When the opportunity arises, I will naturally call you, but certainly not now.”

"For now, we should prioritize the overall situation."

"And I have always firmly believed that you will be the greatest swordsman in the world in the future."

For the first time ever, he had to be careful with his words and his mind to appease his wife.

Jing Peiyao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After speaking, Jing Peiyao vanished from her spot in an instant. However, the lingering effects of the Ziwei True Essence caused the temperature inside the main hall to rise sharply.

With a wave of his sleeve, Yuwen Jun unleashed a chilling dragon's breath that instantly suppressed the lingering effects of Ziwei True Essence.

"Uh, this is a bit of a headache." Yuwen Jun had a ridiculous expression on his face.

The voice of the Primordial Spirit Cat echoed in Yuwen Jun's heart, saying with a lack of confidence, "This matter cannot be avoided. A person who is determined will draw their sword no matter what."

"Why don't we go and see what the situation is like in Changmao Prefecture before making a decision?"

"But this matter requires a protector."

Yuwen Jun was well aware that this matter required a protector, and neither the Human Emperor nor the Spirit Emperor were likely to be able to do so.

Although the Queen of the Demon Realm is qualified, she lacks the strength.

Of course, for Jing Peiyao, a true strong person never needs a protector.

Yuwen Jun knew exactly what Jing Peiyao was thinking, and because he understood, he felt a headache coming on.

With the arrival of Xiao Huangyue, Fuyao's family line has a worthy successor, making Jing Peiyao even more fearless.

"Let's put the protectors aside for now and go take a look outside Changmao Prefecture," Yuwen Jun said with a long sigh.

……

Outside Changmao Prefecture, the morning mist gradually dissipated, and the four armies of Zhang Benchu, Suo Chengguo, Xu Huanshan, and Xiao Chu set up camp less than eighty li away from Changmao Prefecture.

At this moment, tens of thousands of soldiers were getting as close as possible to the city wall of Changmao Prefecture, and all kinds of shouts and curses were heard. Some soldiers even had a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) in their hands, eating it while cursing.

"Ji Yong, you bastard, why don't you dare come out and fight to the death!"

"My master is at the Lingxiao Realm, while you are at the Wuji Realm. You didn't even dare to take the challenge. Are you really so scared of my master that you wet yourself and your Dao heart has collapsed?"

"The mighty army of the Divine Realm is nothing but cowards. The army is at the gates of the city, yet you cower and do not come out. Why don't you just open the city gates and surrender? Not only will we not kill you, but we will also invite you to dinner."

These are already considered relatively restrained.

Many of the older soldiers hurled even harsher insults, cursing their ancestors for eighteen generations, and spewing all sorts of sarcastic and mean words. One elderly general even suggested that Xu Huanshan directly seize over a thousand young women from the divine race in Taicang City and have the human soldiers ride on the women of the divine realm right under the walls of Changmao Prefecture, thus humiliating Ji Yong's prestige.

Of course, while this plan was feasible, it was inhumane. The new policy had just been implemented, and such an extreme move would certainly not occur. Therefore, Xu Huanshan resolutely rejected it.

Behind them, the banner bearing the character "岳" fluttered fiercely in the wind, its majestic sound resounding.

Inside the central command tent, Yue Bo and Liang Che sat at the same table. On the table were meat buns, soy milk, and seafood from Beihai. The two ate with relish, listening to the shouts and curses outside. In fact, they were very calm, knowing that such methods could only boost morale and were of no use.

"Can you still get used to human food?" Yue Bo glanced at Liang Che, who ate with refined manners, and asked softly.

Liang Che nodded slightly and said, "I can get used to the food. There are many human flavors, which I like very much."

As the two were talking, the tent flap was lifted, and Yuwen Jun strode in.

Upon seeing this, Liang Che instinctively tried to stand up and bow, but Yuwen Jun waved his hand, took a step forward, and sat down next to Yue Bo. He picked up a fist-sized meat bun, took a bite, and said, "I drank too much last night and had no appetite, but seeing you all eating so heartily, I inexplicably have an appetite too."

Upon hearing this, Yue Bo casually pushed his soy milk towards Yuwen Jun and asked curiously, "What is the attitude of the Prince of Zhen'an towards our Dean?"

Yuwen Jun picked up the soy milk and took a sip, replying lightly, "I am very honored. I have already handed over the Flying Dragon Cavalry to the Dean to lead. He has become a powerful figure since entering the military. In short, his future is very bright."

"The soy milk tastes good, where did you get it?"

While peeling the lobster, Yue Bo replied slowly, "It's freshly ground. You'll see when you go out and take a look."
