I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun frowned slightly, with a look of confusion and curiosity, and continued to ask: "Then how did it become two Wu enemies later?"

Feng Wanqing sighed softly, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said: "I only found out about this later. After Wu Rendi left the Temple of Heaven, he came to me to borrow something to heal his wounds. It was then that I learned that he had killed four of the ten deputy temple masters by himself in the battle at the Temple of Heaven, but this victory was not without a price."

"Wu Rendi has suffered great trauma both physically and mentally. Every once in a while, he will enter a period of weakness. During this period, his strength will drop sharply to the middle stage of the Half-Step God King realm, and his spiritual world will be temporarily closed. His original personality will fall into a deep sleep, while his second personality will wake up." Feng Wanqing said with a hint of heaviness in her tone.

When Liu Jun heard this, a look of realization appeared on his face, and he blurted out: "I understand, this is schizophrenia."

Feng Wanqing nodded, her tone calm but with a hint of helplessness: "Almost the same, it's the disease you mentioned. Wu Rendi's second personality is completely different from his main personality. His character, behavior, and even memory are completely different. Whenever his second personality wakes up, he becomes a different person, cold and ruthless, and even mercilessly attacks his former allies."

Liu Jun frowned and asked, "Does his main personality know about the existence of his secondary personality?"

Feng Wanqing nodded: "The main personality knows a little about the existence of the second personality. Every time the second personality wakes up, the main personality's memory will be sealed, as if that period of time never existed, but some memory fragments will remain."

Liu Jun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there no way to cure his disease?"

Feng Wanqing sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "This disease is extremely rare. Wu Rendi's second personality has already merged with his spiritual world. Forcibly separating it will only cause him to fall into deeper pain, and may even lead to a complete mental breakdown."

Liu Jun nodded with a hint of sympathy in his eyes. He didn't expect that Wu Rendi, who seemed cold and heartless and whose strength was at the pinnacle of the God Realm, had this disease.

Feng Wanqing sighed softly and looked outside the city, as if she was thinking about something. Her voice was low: "Let's not talk about this. I guess someone will come to negotiate with Wu Rendi in a while to stop him from taking action again."

Hearing this, Liu Jun frowned, a trace of uneasiness appeared on his face, and then asked: "Don't let him take action? Then what should we do?"

Although Wu Rendi's move helped them turn the situation around, they were almost wiped out. If they hadn't had Wu Rendi's help, and there was another strong man like White Hand or Red Hand, what would they have fought for? Wouldn't they have been pushed to the ground and rubbed again?

Feng Wanqing seemed to see through his worries and calmly analyzed: "Wu Rendi is not that easy to talk to. If those people really don't want him to take action, then the first thing to do is to not allow the strong men above the late stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm on his side to take action."

There was a hint of certainty in her tone, as if she had already anticipated the other party's strategy.

After hearing this, Liu Jun's tense expression relaxed a little. Then he nodded and murmured, "That's fine. I feel relieved then."

Although his current strength was still a little bit limited to dealing with a mid-stage Half-Step Divine King, it was much better than being crushed by a late-stage Half-Step Divine King. At least, he still had the strength to fight.

Feng Wanqing glanced at him, with a hint of complex emotions in her eyes. She knew that although Liu Jun looked relaxed on the surface, he was still under great pressure in his heart. She whispered, "Don't worry too much, we still have time to prepare. As long as they don't send out those top masters, we have a chance."

Liu Jun took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that every next step was crucial.

"Master's wife, rest assured, I will improve my strength as soon as possible and will not hold you back." Liu Jun said seriously.

Feng Wanqing smiled slightly and nodded: "I believe you."

With Liu Jun's talent, if he could break through to the early stage of Half-step God King realm, then no one below the middle stage of Half-step God King realm would be his match. It is even possible for him to kill a strong man in the middle stage of Half-step God King realm by crossing levels.

Outside the city, the sky gradually brightened, and the wind blew through the treetops, making a rustling sound. The two were silent for a moment, each thinking about their next plan.

Feng Wanqing suddenly said: "However, although there are enemies from Wu, there is no guarantee that they will not play dirty tricks. You must be careful, especially in three days. I will be away for a few days and bring someone back to help us."

Liu Jun was stunned: "Who?"

Feng Wanqing smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in her eyes: "You will know when the time comes."

Although Liu Jun was puzzled, he did not ask any more questions. He knew that Feng Wanqing was always thoughtful and careful, and if she said so, she must have her reasons.

Although they had experienced a great battle that night, it was also the night when everyone slept most peacefully and securely, without having to worry about enemies attacking them while they were sleeping.

Because everyone knows that there is a magic needle that stabilizes the city.

As long as Wu Rendi is still there, no matter who comes, the result will be the same, and they will all be killed with one sword.

At noon the next day, Liu Jun slept until noon before being woken up.

"Your Majesty, the chief steward is in the conference room, please come over." A general of the Zhennan Army knocked on Liu Jun's door.

"Yes, good." Liu Jun packed up and followed him out. Along the way, everyone who saw Liu Jun bowed respectfully, and that look was definitely respect from the heart.

Even in the meeting room, General Nie Yun and others were very respectful, because after the battle last night, Liu Jun won everyone's respect with his strength and fearlessness of life and death. They all saw in Liu Jun the shadow of the old God King who conquered the world in the past.

When Liu Jun walked into the conference room, General Nie Yun and others immediately stood up and saluted. Liu Jun nodded slightly and motioned for everyone to sit down.

The chief steward also nodded to Liu Jun. Although in private one was the master's wife and the other was the apprentice, but in this occasion, Liu Jun's identity was the Skyfire God King, the supreme leader of the Skyfire Divine Realm, and he could not remain silent.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn, but everyone's eyes were shining with admiration for Liu Jun.

"Your Majesty, our army won a great victory in the battle last night. The enemy has retreated 800 miles outside the city. The encirclement has been broken. They will not dare to attack again in the short term." General Nie Yun was the first to report on the battle situation.

After hearing this, Liu Jun pondered for a moment and then said, "Although we have won, we cannot let our guard down. Although the enemy has temporarily retreated, they will not give up easily. We need to strengthen the city defense and send out scouts to keep a close eye on the enemy's movements."

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying they would follow Liu Jun's instructions. Liu Jun continued, "In addition, we need to appease the people in the city. They must have been frightened by the battle last night. We need to restore order in the city as soon as possible and reassure the people."

General Nie Yun immediately responded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange personnel to ensure the safety of the people in the city and the normal life."

Liu Jun nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the other generals, asking them one by one for their opinions and problems that needed to be solved. Everyone reported seriously, and Liu Jun listened patiently and gave his own suggestions and decisions.

Feng Wanqing occasionally added a few words, but most of the time she kept silent. She just looked at Liu Jun quietly with a satisfied look on her face.

After the meeting was over and everyone left, Liu Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down in his chair, looking up at the sky with lifeless eyes. His mind kept replaying all the details of the meeting, and every decision and every word seemed like a heavy burden on his heart. He felt unprecedented fatigue, as if his whole body was hollowed out.

"What? Are you tired already?" Feng Wanqing's voice sounded with a hint of concern and teasing. Her gaze fell on Liu Jun, and a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes.

"It's tiring, especially during the time when you were not in the Palace of the God King. The memorials piled up like a mountain. It was simply torture." Liu Jun sighed, his voice revealing deep helplessness and fatigue.

He recalled those days when he was faced with mountains of memorials and endless tasks to deal with every day, as if there would never be an end.

"There's nothing I can do. Now that I'm in this position, I can't control many things myself." Feng Wanqing stood up and walked to Liu Jun, patted him gently on the shoulder, with a hint of emotion in her tone.

She knew that this position meant endless responsibilities and pressure, but she knew even more clearly that Liu Jun had the ability and obligation to bear it all.

Liu Jun was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Feng Wanqing, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in his eyes. "Master's Wife, tell me the truth, is the Skyfire God King my master Qingfengzi?"

Feng Wanqing was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly. "Yes, if he hadn't pushed you forward, you wouldn't be in this position."

Liu Jun lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly and said, "I feel like the old man is like a chess player, and I am like a chess piece."

There was a hint of self-mockery and helplessness in his voice, as if he was lamenting the helplessness of his own fate.

Feng Wanqing sighed softly, with a trace of heartache and helplessness in her eyes. "Liu Jun, you have to understand that Master did this for your own good. Moreover, he definitely did not regard you as a chess piece. Even if he was a chess piece, you were still the general in chess, and your master always regarded himself as a pawn in front of you. When necessary, he could sacrifice himself for you, and he did so before."

"Master's wife, what happened to my master?" Liu Jun understood the meaning of Feng Wanqing's words and asked hurriedly.

Feng Wanqing sighed softly and looked into the distance, as if she could see farther through the city wall. Her expression was a little solemn, but with a hint of indescribable firmness.

"It's nothing. You will know when the time comes. What you need to do now is to deal with the current situation." Feng Wanqing's tone was calm, but unquestionable, as if reminding Liu Jun that the most important thing right now was to stay calm and stabilize the situation.

Although Liu Jun was full of doubts and anxiety, seeing Feng Wanqing's firm attitude, he could only suppress his uneasiness and nodded, "Okay, I understand."

He knew that the master's wife was always thoughtful, and since she was unwilling to say more, she must have her reasons. Perhaps, the old man's affairs could not be known to him for the time being, or perhaps, the old man was secretly carrying out some important plan.

During the following period, Nanjiang City seemed to have returned to its former tranquility. The shops on the street were reopened, the vendors were shouting and hawking, and merchants were coming in and out of the city gate, as if the war a few days ago was just a nightmare, and now everything was back on track. The people in the city smiled again, the children were chasing and playing on the streets, and the elderly were sitting in teahouses leisurely drinking tea and talking about the recent weather and harvest.

However, Liu Jun did not dare to relax at all. He knew that this calm was only an appearance, and the undercurrent was still surging.

Although the coalition forces of Tianzhu City and Platinum Divine Realm did not make any provocative moves, and even took the initiative to retreat 300 miles to the range of Platinum Divine Realm, this did not mean that they had given up their intention to attack. On the contrary, this abnormal behavior made Liu Jun more vigilant. He understood that the enemy might be waiting for a better opportunity, or was secretly planning a bigger conspiracy.
