I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2070 On the eve of the war
"Well, very good, everyone is here." The voice of the man in the golden cloak was deep and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible majesty. His eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped on Elder Sun.

"Elder Sun, please tell us what happened just now." The voice of the man in the golden cloak carried a hint of command and unquestionableness.

Elder Sun took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and began to describe the battle in detail. His voice was low and hoarse, and every word carried a heavy weight. As he spoke, the atmosphere in the commander's tent became more and more solemn, and everyone's expression was complicated.

“Ancient fighting spirit? Interesting, I thought there wouldn’t be anything fun this time.” The man in the golden cloak chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his voice, as if everything in front of him was just a pastime in his spare time.

He looked through the canvas of the tent at the vaguely visible Nanjiang City in front of him, and obviously did not take the legendary ancient fighting spirit seriously.

“Deputy Palace Master, that ancient war spirit should at least have the strength of the late Half-Step God King realm. Don’t underestimate it.” Elder Sun, who was standing nearby, reminded in a low voice, with a hint of caution and awe in his tone.

He was well aware of the strength of the deputy hall master in front of him, but he still felt uneasy facing the existence of an ancient fighting spirit.

The man in the golden cloak was the deputy hall master mentioned by Elder Sun. His nickname was "Black Hand" and he was one of the three deputy hall masters of the Heavenly Lord Hall. His strength had already reached the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, and he was even stronger than the average late stage Half-Step Divine King Realm powerhouse. In the entire Heavenly Lord Hall, his status was second only to one person and above ten thousand people, and his style of doing things was known for being cold and ruthless.

"Do you think I'm the same as you?" Deputy Hall Master Black Hand glanced at Elder Sun with disdain in his tone.

His voice was icy cold, like a sharp blade, piercing Elder Sun's heart.

Elder Sun was choked. Although he had complaints in his heart, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on his face. He could only stand there awkwardly, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Find a place to sit down. I'll take care of this for you first and prevent the palace from knowing about it." Deputy Black Hand Hall Master snorted, with a hint of warning in his tone, "But if you still don't perform well later, don't blame me for being rude."

Upon hearing this, Elder Sun immediately nodded and bowed, with a flattering smile on his face: "Yes, thank you, Deputy Palace Master, thank you, Deputy Palace Master!"

His voice was full of gratitude, as if the words of Deputy Palace Master Black Hand were his only lifeline.

The Black Hand Deputy Hall Master ignored Elder Sun and turned his gaze back to him. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he slowly raised his hand, and a ray of black energy condensed at his fingertips. The energy flowed in his hand, as if it would explode at any time.

“Ancient war soul? I wonder if eating this will allow me to reach the edge of the God King realm.” Deputy Hall Master Black Hand muttered to himself with a hint of greed in his voice.

Elder Sun found a chair and sat down, looking at the figure of the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master, with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew very well that he was just an insignificant existence in front of this Deputy Hall Master. But he also understood that as long as he showed enough loyalty, he might be able to survive under this cold Deputy Hall Master.

"Palace Master Xiaoyao, have you ever heard of the new Skyfire God King?" Deputy Palace Master Heishou looked at Palace Master Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao Palace Master smiled slightly, his expression indifferent, and replied: "A little information, Yu Huang may know more."

A hint of coldness flashed across the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I have a grudge against the new Skyfire God King. I chased him down three times some time ago, but I couldn't kill him."

The reason why he was willing to come to help was because Liu Jun became the Heavenly Fire God King. He knew very well that once Liu Jun took the throne or grew up, he and his Qianyu City would be the first to be attacked.

Upon hearing this, Deputy Hall Master Black Hand's eyes flashed with interest, and he asked, "Oh? Tell me in detail."

He heard that this new Skyfire Divine King was just a little guy at the late stage of the Lord God level, and that the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor was definitely the top one in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, and even had the feeling of breaking through to the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm. With such a big gap, it was incredible that the other party survived.

The Eight-Winged Feather Emperor took a deep breath, recalled the past, and slowly told him all the grievances that had happened between him and Liu Jun, including the incident of going to the Sea of ​​Death to block Liu Jun, and being stopped by the brothers Yang Jun and Yang Xiao.

"Oh? The Sea Beast Tribe and the brothers Yang Jun and Yang Xiao were also involved? This guy is quite popular. Later on, do you know how he became the Skyfire God King?" Deputy Palace Master Black Hand asked again.

"I don't know the details. I only know that he went to the Extreme Fire Army's base and entered the Extreme Fire Space. I thought he was dead, but I didn't expect him to come out of the forbidden area alive and even received the inheritance of the Skyfire God King."

The Black Hand deputy hall master frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "It seems that this person is not simple. He was able to escape from your hands and come out of the forbidden area alive. His luck and strength should not be underestimated."

The Lord of Xiaoyao Palace nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the inheritance of the Heavenly Fire God King is extraordinary. Since Liu Jun has obtained it, he must have extraordinary qualities and should not be underestimated."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor's eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "So, we must strangle him in the cradle before he fully grows up. Otherwise, once he sits firmly on the throne, our days will be difficult."

The Black Hand deputy hall master smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "In this case, let's work together tonight and make sure to completely eradicate this new Skyfire God King and break through Nanjiang City."

"Okay, but this Liu Jun is very cunning. We have all heard about his bad behavior in Qianyu City last time. He used all kinds of despicable means. Since he is here and has not run away, it is very likely that he has some sinister tricks waiting for us," said the Eight-Winged Feather Emperor.

"Well, I heard that he is also good at formations. I guess he has set up some formations in Nanjiang City waiting for us." Xiaoyao Palace Master frowned slightly and reminded. "It's okay. In the face of absolute strength, all fancy things are useless." Black Hand Deputy Palace Master sneered, his voice full of confidence.

There was a cold light flashing in his eyes, as if everything was under his control. As a late-stage Half-Step Divine King, he had seen too many formations and restrictions, but all of them had an upper limit. He didn't believe that Liu Jun could set up a formation that he couldn't break.

Seeing that the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master was so confident, Xiaoyao Palace Master frowned, but said nothing more. Although he felt a little uneasy, he did not want to show cowardice in front of everyone. After all, the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master's strength was indeed not to be underestimated, and perhaps he could really break Liu Jun's formation.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's launch a night attack on Nanjiang City tonight," said Deputy Palace Master Black Hand in a deep voice, with an unquestionable determination in his tone, and then waved his hand, signaling everyone to prepare for action.

At this time, in Nanjiang City, Liu Jun and others gathered in the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion. The lights in the meeting room were bright, but the atmosphere seemed a little solemn. Liu Jun stood in front of the long table, holding a piece of paper in his hand, with a serious expression.

"Everyone, take a look at this information." Liu Jun handed the paper in his hand out and glanced at everyone present.

Everyone in the meeting room took the intelligence and read it carefully. As their eyes moved on the paper, their faces gradually became a little ugly.

The intelligence described in detail the masters of the coalition forces who were above the Half-Step God King realm, with Deputy Palace Master Black Hand, Eight-Winged Feather Emperor, and Palace Master Xiaoyao being highlighted.

"The black hand? He finally shows up again." Elder Yining's voice was low and cold, with a hint of barely perceptible anger.

Ancestor Ningxie frowned, with a trace of worry in his eyes: "Yes, he has appeared, but he is also stronger. We are no match for him."

There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, and he obviously felt that the situation was difficult. Although he and Ancestor Yi Ning were considered outstanding among the strong men in the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm, he did not think they had any hope of winning against the Black Hand Deputy Hall Master who was in the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm.

Patriarch Yi Ning turned his gaze to Liu Jun, with a hint of expectation in his eyes: "We are not opponents, but there is someone who can take care of him."

There was a hint of certainty in her tone, as if she already knew Liu Jun's trump card.

Liu Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Ancestor, you really think highly of me."

Although he did have a backup plan and could indeed deal with a strong man in the late Half-Step God King realm, he still was not completely confident when facing a strong enemy like Deputy Palace Master Black Hand.

Patriarch Yi Ning's gaze remained firm, and he slowly said, "I don't look down on you, I look down on the people behind you."

There was a hint of meaning in her tone, as if she was hinting at something.

Liu Jun looked confused, wondering, "Who's behind me? There's only the back of a chair behind me, how could there be anyone there?"

Ancestor Yining did not explain, but just smiled mysteriously.

When Liu Jun saw that Elder Yining refused to explain, he had no way of asking any further questions. He could only ask everyone to be more vigilant tonight and then dissolved the meeting.

After everyone left the meeting room, Liu Jun came to the city wall again, and with him were Yao Guangxiao, Tiger Ape Man and others.

The night was falling, the stars were sparse, and the wind on the city wall was a little cool, blowing the robes of several people. Liu Jun stood on the edge of the city wall, looking into the distance, as if staring at the darkness in the distance. His expression was solemn, and there was an indescribable heaviness between his brows.

"It's going to be a fierce battle tonight. If you leave now, it's still not too late. I don't blame you." Liu Jun was silent for a while, and finally spoke in a low and firm voice.

Tiger frowned when he heard this, and an unhappy look appeared on his face: "What do you mean by that? Just because you are the God King, you look down on us brothers?"

His voice was rough, with a hint of dissatisfaction and unconvinced.

The ape man stood aside, crossed his arms, nodded, and agreed: "That's right, in this situation, brothers have to face it together. What's the big deal if you carry it alone?"

Liu Jun sighed, shook his head, and a trace of helplessness appeared on his face: "That's not what I meant. You don't know how dangerous it is tonight. The other party is not an ordinary strong man. If we are not careful, we may all..."

Before he finished speaking, Yao Guangxiao chuckled, squinting his eyes, with a hint of amusement in his tone: "They don't know, but I do. But I think it's quite exciting. If I could participate in a battle to strangle a late-stage Half-Step Divine King, the thought of it makes my blood boil."

Liu Jun turned to look at Yao Guangxiao, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes: "Boss Yao, you..."
