Sheng Fu

Night falls in Xinghan City.

The moon is bright and the sky is full of stars.

Inside the city, the demon soldiers lay low and rested, preparing for the next battle.

Although they failed to capture Iron Mang City, they had broken through its defensive perimeter. After witnessing their commander Mu Chun display his Eternal True Essence, the soldiers felt more confident.

Even though he was far inferior to His Majesty the Demon Lord in his prime, he still seriously injured the Spirit Emperor.

After this battle, Mu Chun's prestige has completely surpassed that of King Wu.

Originally, there were still some signs of dissent among the troops under their command, but after this battle, the soldiers were completely loyal to each other.

The adoration for Mu Chun has reached an unprecedented level.

The demon warriors firmly believed that as long as the war continued, they would eventually conquer the Iron Mang City.

Soaring ambition and indomitable will permeate the land and rivers of the Demon Realm.

Inside the city lord's palace.

The building is radiant and boasts an exquisite and luxurious architectural style.

Inside the room, a brilliant golden candle was lit, illuminating the surroundings.

Mu Chun and King Wu sat around a table.

On the table was a fine roast meat and a pot of flawless half-moon wine.

Mu Chun's demeanor remained as unruly as ever, with a wild aura emanating from his brows. His complexion was now full of vitality, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to have recovered more than 60%.

The King of Wu opposite him had a pale face and slightly dim eyes.

Mu Chun picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, looking quite suspicious. "For no reason, another pure-blooded Vermilion Bird who has mastered the Seven Killings True Essence has suddenly appeared."

"This era of great strife is getting more and more interesting."

King Wu was also very uneasy about the sudden major change. They had already gained an advantage, but the appearance of the pure-blooded Vermilion Bird could very well interrupt their advantage.

As for the so-called Spirit Clan army, Mu Chun and King Wu did not take it seriously.

King Wu looked to his right rear, where there was an exquisite dark screen, from which a fine and delicate black light shone.

"What instructions do you have, my lord?" King Wu asked instinctively.

A soft, clear female voice came from behind the screen: "Military power is in your hands; how you act is up to you."

Judging from her voice alone, she must be an incomparably beautiful woman, inspiring endless wonderful imagination.

Apart from the Demon Lord, no one knows the appearance of the Lord of Eternal Night.

But the Lord of Eternal Night is a woman, a woman with an extremely beautiful and melodious voice.

Mu Chun poured himself another glass of wine and said suspiciously, "Yuwen Jun went to the Demon Realm. When he was in the Demon Realm, he should have been in the Returning Origin Realm or the late Breaking Limit Realm. Later, he suddenly became able to traverse the void."

"Judging from the signs, they obtained the inheritance of the power of nothingness in the Demon Realm."

“He couldn’t have gone to the Demon Realm just to play a game of chess with my brother.”

"They must have received unimaginable blessings in the Demon Realm."

The woman behind the screen spoke in a clear and ethereal voice, "Mount Minghun was once a place of great potential that His Majesty desired, but Yuwen Jun got there first."

"There are still spies left behind by Yuwen Jun in the capital, but the specific individuals have not yet been identified."

"The power of nothingness is an ancient inheritance, and now the Vermilion Bird has appeared to help Yuwen Jun out of his predicament. Yuwen Jun has secretly made many acquaintances with ancient beings."

"It is meaningless to speculate on these things now."

"The important thing is what stance that Vermilion Bird takes!" Mu Chun suddenly grinned and said, "According to my speculation, Yuwen Jun has at least two Origin Chips, otherwise it would be difficult to break through the Changmao Prefecture field."

"That guy who likes to wear white is really unlucky. He has already conquered many city-states. He finally managed to reverse some of the decline through domestic affairs, but then he ran into the Vermilion Bird who has mastered the Seven Killings True Essence."

"In my opinion, we might as well abandon this ally. What do you think?"

After the God Emperor suffered repeated defeats, Mu Chun was utterly disappointed in him. Moreover, Mu Chun hoped that the human race and the dragon race would join forces to wage a war to the death against the God Emperor.

Even if the God Emperor is at his worst, he can still defeat the Human Emperor in a one-on-one battle.

Let the God Emperor bear the brunt of the ultimate attacks from all the powerful beings, causing most of the current powerhouses to perish. This would also benefit the overall situation of the Demon Realm.

Of course, no matter how grand one's plans may seem, the actual situation is quite different.

The Lord of Eternal Night said, "With you as the master, all major decisions now rest on your whim; this is His Majesty's decree."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chun and King Wu immediately straightened up and cast a look of awe into the depths of the dark screen.

Mu Chun calmed himself and cautiously inquired, "Has His Majesty awakened?"

The Lord of Eternal Night did not respond.

He may wake up, or he may not...

An ethereal and tranquil atmosphere permeates the room, giving people endless room for imagination.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Chun looked at King Wu and changed the subject, saying, "We cannot abandon our ally, the Divine Emperor. If he falls, our lives will not be easy either."

"We still need to take Iron Mang City as soon as possible. We'll launch our attack in three days!"

King Wu understood his meaning, but he glanced worriedly at Mu Chun's confident and arrogant face and asked softly, "How is your injury?"

Mu Chun said unconcernedly, "It's alright. I have transformed and sublimated. I am no longer the person I used to be. Even if the Spirit Emperor is still at his peak when we fight in three days, I am still confident that I can win."

"The wolf cavalry have been marching south for a long time, but have yet to be able to conquer the Iron Mang City. This is truly a great disgrace."

"We failed to capture Iron Mang City before, which requires us to consider strategic factors."

"The forced conquest of Tie Mang City is also a strategic consideration. The Divine Emperor has already lost Changmao Prefecture. If we can win back a city here, it will also alleviate the pressure on the Divine Emperor. This is extremely good for the overall situation."

"Furthermore, how can we see the true stance of those ancient beings without achieving a resounding victory?"

Upon hearing this, King Wu felt a deep sense of admiration. If he were the commander-in-chief, he might have chosen to wait and see for a while.

But Mu Chun wouldn't; he always took the initiative.

This is also where King Wu is inferior to Mu Chun.

"How should we fight?" King Wu humbly asked.

Mu Chun said with high spirits, "This battle is not complicated. You lead the army to camp outside the Iron Mang City, while Lord Yongye keeps them in check. The key is whether I can defeat the old man Lingdi."

"I will tell Emperor Ling clearly, if you have the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one."

"I want to see whether Emperor Ling intends to sacrifice 40% of the nation's fortune or abandon the Iron Mang City."

A one-on-one duel?!
King Wu's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Wouldn't this be too reckless?"

Mu Chun said with a disdainful look: "The area between Xinghan City and Tiemang City is an open space. Even if you carefully arrange your troops, you will still have to fight head-on in the end. This battle will be a reckless one no matter how you look at it."

"Judging from the known information, the Spirit Emperor and the Human Emperor have recovered from their injuries, but not completely. Either they have been empowered by the power of origin, or the Nine Dragons Heavenly Origin Formation of the Dragon Clan has healed them."

"In short, Emperor Ling would never have imagined that I would be able to make a comeback so quickly."

"The more intense the offensive, the less they will be able to withstand it. This stalemate is not the style of our Wolf Riders!"

"A true man's true nature is revealed in battle!" (End of Chapter)
