I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun was about to speak when suddenly, a burst of rapid shouting interrupted his thoughts.

"Report, urgent news from the Hanshui Divine Realm, urgent news from the Hanshui Divine Realm!" There was obvious tension and anxiety in the voice, as if the air in the entire temple solidified in an instant.

Since the relationship between the Cold Water Divine Realm and the Platinum Divine Realm and the Skyfire Divine Realm deteriorated, any major events from these two Divine Realms were classified as the highest level of urgent intelligence and directly delivered to Feng Wanqing, the chief steward of the Divine King Palace. The speed of transmission of this kind of intelligence was extremely fast, and there was almost no room for any delay.

Feng Wanqing frowned slightly, feeling vaguely uneasy. She looked up and saw a guard with a panicked look on his face, holding a jade token high in his hand, rushing into the temple in a hurry.

The jade token was crystal clear and emitted a faint light. It was a special magical tool used to transmit urgent information.

Feng Wanqing's heart sank suddenly, and her first thought was that the Hanshui Divine Realm might have launched a large-scale attack on the Tianhuo Divine Realm.

The transmission speed of this jade card is extremely fast. It only takes half an hour to travel from the Cold Water Divine Realm to the Divine King Palace in the Skyfire Divine Realm. However, the cost of this speed is also huge. More than 70 transmission arrays need to be scrapped along the way to ensure the timely transmission of information. Each transmission costs hundreds of millions of Divine Coins. The cost is so high that it is staggering. It will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Feng Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that every decision at this moment might affect the safety of the entire Skyfire Divine Realm. She quickly took the jade token and touched it lightly with her finger. The information in the jade token flooded into her mind like a tide. Her face gradually became solemn, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

"Hanshui Divine Realm..." Feng Wanqing murmured in a low voice, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
Liu Jun stood below, staring at Feng Wanqing, thinking to himself: "What happened in the Hanshui Divine Realm? Did they start the attack ahead of time? Is the eldest prince of the sea beast tribe reliable? Did he send the parasites to the Amazon Glacier?"

The atmosphere in the temple became increasingly tense. Everyone held their breath, obviously realizing that something big had happened.

Feng Wanqing stood up, her eyes like torches, and scanned the people around her: "Pass the order, the Shura Army of Divine King City is ready to go to war, and all the soldiers of the Zhendong Army are ordered to enter combat readiness."

This sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Everyone in the temple looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts.

There are three guard forces in the God King City, each with its own unique combat methods and style.

The first unit is called the Extreme Fire Army, which has 50,000 elite soldiers. They are the direct line of the old God King and have only obeyed the orders of the old God King since their establishment. Even the chief steward Feng Wanqing cannot mobilize them. The soldiers of the Extreme Fire Army are all experienced and loyal. Their existence symbolizes the majesty and power of the old God King.

However, since the mysterious disappearance of the old God King, the Extreme Fire Army has fallen into a state of being without a leader. They are still stationed near the Royal City, maintaining a high level of vigilance, but no longer participate in any actions, as if waiting for some unknown call. The existence of this army is not only the guardian of the Royal City, but also the last witness of the old God King era.

The second unit is the Shura Army, which also has 50,000 soldiers. The Shura Army is the direct line of the general manager Feng Wanqing, and their loyalty belongs only to Feng Wanqing. This army is famous for its strong strength and strong killing intent. Every soldier has experienced countless battles and has killed hundreds of enemies.

The soldiers of the Shura Army are cold-blooded and ruthless. They seem to exist for killing. Anyone who dares to challenge Feng Wanqing's authority will face their ruthless attack.

The strength of the Shura Army is unmatched in the Divine King City, even the Extreme Fire Army is slightly inferior. Their training is rigorous and their discipline is strict, and every soldier is a berserker who has been tempered a thousand times.

Feng Wanqing has just ordered the Shura Army to prepare for an expedition, which means that she will personally lead this elite force to the front line.

The third unit is the Royal City Garrison Army, which has 250,000 soldiers. Although the combat effectiveness of this army is much stronger than that of ordinary armies, it is insignificant compared to the Extreme Fire Army and the Shura Army. The soldiers of the Royal City Garrison Army are mainly responsible for the daily guarding and public security maintenance of the Royal City. Their existence ensures the stability and order of the Royal City. However, when facing a truly powerful enemy, their strength is obviously not enough to deal with it.

Although the soldiers of the Royal City Garrison were well-trained, they lacked the fearless courage and firm belief of the Extreme Fire Army and the Shura Army. Their existence was more like the last line of defense of the Royal City rather than a real fighting force.

What puzzled everyone was the fact that the Zhendong Army was preparing for war.

The Zhendong Army is located at the easternmost part of the Skyfire Divine Realm, bordering the Platinum Divine Realm, but the intelligence just sent is about the Hanshui Divine Realm. Logically, to deal with the threat of the Hanshui Divine Realm, the Zhenbei Army should be mobilized. Why did the chief steward order the Zhendong Army to enter a state of combat readiness?
Everyone was nervous and whispered, with nervousness and confusion written all over their faces. Feng Wanqing looked at their expressions, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

"This intelligence says that the river beasts in the Amazon Glacier have been poisoned by a strange poison and can no longer fight. The army of sea beasts is attacking towns along the Amazon Glacier. The army of the Cold Water Divine Realm has all been called back to deal with the sea beasts first." Feng Wanqing said slowly.

Hearing this, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed, and the doubts on their faces gradually dissipated. They understood Feng Wanqing's intention - since the Cold Water Divine Realm could no longer pose a threat to them, this was the best time to deal with the Platinum Divine Realm.

Feng Wanqing's eyes swept over the crowd again, and her tone was filled with a hint of unquestionable majesty: "Since the Cold Water Divine Realm is unable to take care of itself, then we have to settle accounts with the Platinum Divine Realm."

During this period, the Platinum God Realm frequently invaded the territory of the Skyfire God Realm, plundered resources, burned villages, and even abducted civilians as slaves. Although the Zhendong Army was angry, they chose to be tolerant because the general of the Zhendong Army knew that this was not the best time to start a war. The Cold Water God Realm was eyeing them covetously, and rashly going to war with the Platinum God Realm would only make the situation worse.

However, tolerance does not mean weakness. The soldiers of the Zhendong Army had long been filled with anger, especially those who had witnessed their homes destroyed and their loved ones abducted, and they were looking forward to the opportunity of revenge day and night.

As the actual ruler of the Skyfire Divine Realm, Feng Wanqing was also holding back a lot of anger. She knew very well that the arrogance of the Platinum Divine Realm must be curbed, otherwise the majesty of the Skyfire Divine Realm would be gone.

"Steward, I am willing to lead the troops to war, please allow me to do so!" General Ran Min immediately stepped forward to ask for permission.

As a leading figure in the military, he couldn't wait to compete with the Platinum Divine Realm. "No, I'll go myself." Feng Wanqing said calmly, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone.

"But you need to stay in the Palace of the God King!" General Ran Min objected hurriedly.

He knew very well the importance of Feng Wanqing. If she left the Palace of the God King, something unexpected might happen inside.

"The Shura Army won't listen to you." Feng Wanqing glanced at Ran Min with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Ran Min was speechless and looked a little embarrassed. That was true. The Shura Army was an elite force trained by Feng Wanqing herself and only obeyed her. Even if Ran Min was the general of the Zhendong Army, he could not mobilize a single soldier of the Shura Army.

"I suggest that you stay and take charge of the Divine King Palace." Sima Zhu stood up and said, his tone respectful but firm. As the head of the civil officials, he was more concerned about the stability within the Skyfire Divine Realm.

"I second the motion!" all the officials said in unison, their voices loud and their attitudes firm.

Not only did the civil officials headed by Sima Zhu oppose it, but the military officials headed by Ran Min also expressed their disagreement. They believed that Feng Wanqing, as the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Fire Divine Realm, should stay in the Divine King Palace to preside over the overall situation instead of leading the troops to the battle in person.

Things on the battlefield change rapidly. If anything happens to Feng Wanqing, it will be a devastating blow to the entire Skyfire Divine Realm.

However, Feng Wanqing had already made up her mind. She swept her eyes over every official present, and her tone was calm but full of majesty: "I appreciate your kindness. But I have to lead the expedition this time. The Shura Army only obeys my orders, and only if I lead the troops myself can I ensure victory in this battle. As for the Palace of the Divine King, with the Holy Son in charge and Sima Zhu and Ran Min as the two wise assistants, I am very relieved."

"What?" Liu Jun, who was watching from the sidelines, felt as if he was eating a melon on himself, and the melon was a bitter one.

But it was obvious that his master's wife Feng Wanqing was not asking for his opinion, nor did she need his opinion, and she didn't even look at him.

Seeing Feng Wanqing's firm attitude, the officials looked at each other, and finally no one dared to object. Ran Min took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "Sir, if that's the case, I am willing to go with you to help you!"

Feng Wanqing smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay, with your help, we will win this battle."

"I am willing to assist His Royal Highness the Holy Son and wait for your triumphant return," Sima Zhu stepped forward and said.

"We are willing to assist His Royal Highness the Saint Son and wish the steward a triumphant return," the officials said in unison.

"Go back and prepare," Feng Wanqing waved her hand.

The officials left the Jihuo Temple one after another, and in the end only General Ran Min, Sima Zhu and General Wu Yi remained.

"Wu Yi, don't rush back to Donglai Port." Feng Wanqing's eyes fell on General Wu Yi, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes. "You returned to the Palace of the God King without permission, which is a serious crime. However, I will give you a chance to make amends. You can teach Liu Jun military strategies here for a while."

General Wu Yi was slightly stunned, then nodded. There was a trace of relief in his eyes, as if a big stone in his heart had finally fallen. He returned to the Divine King Palace this time to confirm Feng Wanqing's safety. Now that he saw that she was safe and sound, he no longer had any worries in his heart. As for other things, they were not important to him.

Feng Wanqing turned her gaze to Sima Zhu who was standing beside her: "Sima Zhu, you will be responsible for teaching Liu Jun how to handle government affairs during this period of time."

Sima Zhu bowed slightly and responded respectfully: "Yes, I obey your command."

Liu Jun stood aside, his face somewhat bitter. He looked up at Feng Wanqing, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Master's Wife, you are simply forcing a duck to climb a tree, and you are forcing a wooden duck to be roasted on the fire."

Feng Wanqing couldn't help laughing when she heard this, with a sly look in her eyes: "Be obedient, and come back to replace you after Master's wife finishes the battle. During this time, you should study hard."

Her tone was relaxed, as if the upcoming war was just a short journey. Obviously, she was already exhausted from handling the political affairs of the Skyfire Divine Realm in the Divine King Palace. In her eyes, this expedition was a kind of relief, a rare "vacation".

As for Liu Jun, Feng Wanqing knew in her heart that this Heavenly Fire Divine Realm was originally his. He would have to take over this heavy responsibility sooner or later, and now was just a time for him to adapt in advance.

"You three should go back and prepare first," Feng Wanqing waved her hand.

Wu Yi, Ran Min, and Sima Zhu all bowed and took their leave.
