I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2153 Yanli Arrives
"The huge bird of prey let out a deafening scream, its wings cutting through the air like sharp swords, bringing with them a strong storm, crashing fiercely into the ground, splashing up countless dust. In the storm-like dust, several figures slowly walked down from the back of the bird of prey.

Liu Jun's eyes were fixed on the beautiful figure leading the group. His eyes were wide open and his face was filled with shock, as if he had seen something incredible. He turned to General Nie Yun beside him and asked questioningly, "Is it her? Are you sure?"

General Nie Yun looked a little strange. He coughed lightly and then explained, "Your Majesty, you are not mistaken. These are our reinforcements."

Liu Jun's expression became even uglier. He asked with a dark face: "I have little education, so don't play tricks on me. The leader is Yan Li, right? You want her to deal with a strong man in the late Half-Step God King realm?" There was a hint of anger in his voice, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with this arrangement.

The figures behind Yan Li were all in the middle stage of the Half-step Divine King Realm, at most they were the stronger ones in the middle stage, but if they were to deal with the late Half-step Divine King Realm strongmen, they would simply be courting death. Apart from these people, only Yan Li was left, but Yan Li was not in the late Half-step Divine King Realm.

Yan Li slowly walked up to Liu Jun, her eyes flashing with determination, and she said with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone: "Your Majesty the Divine King, do you look down on me?"

Liu Jun was somewhat embarrassed by Yan Li's words, and he hurriedly said, "Well, that's not the case."

When facing Yan Li, Liu Jun always felt an invisible pressure, and the shock and uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense.

"That's good. I'll leave Mo Wushang to you and I'll deal with the Black Demon General." Yan Li's tone was steady, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.

When Liu Jun heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Although he felt a little helpless, he still replied, "Okay, you can arrange it."

Although he occasionally criticized Yan Li's decisions, he knew that Yan Li would not listen even if he had opinions, so he could only keep it to himself.

"When will the general attack be launched?" Yan Li turned his head and looked at General Nie Yun.

General Nie Yun stood tall and straight, clasped his fists and replied, "Six hours later, we have arranged for elite troops to sneak into the city."

Those elite troops are the best in the army. They will play an important role at critical moments and create favorable conditions for the general offensive.

Yan Li nodded slightly, without saying anything else, and walked straight towards the general's tent.

Liu Jun stood there, hesitating for a few seconds. He was a little conflicted. On the one hand, he wanted to discuss the details of the next battle with Yan Li, but on the other hand, he was worried about disturbing her. But in the end, he took a step and followed.

The other generals who wanted to follow were stopped by General Nie Yun. There was a hint of meaning in General Nie Yun's eyes, as if he wanted to give Yan Li and Liu Jun some space to talk alone.

After entering the commander's tent, Yan Li went straight to the table. On the table was a huge map with densely marked military deployments and strategic locations in Jinyang City.

She looked down at the map, her eyes focused and deep, as if she was thinking about the direction of the entire battle. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her fingers gently stroked the key positions on the map. She didn't speak for a long time.

"That..." Liu Jun hesitated for a few seconds, his eyes lingering on Yan Li, but finally he couldn't help but speak.

His voice trembled slightly, as if a fierce struggle was going on in his heart.

"Speak." Yan Li's answer was decisive and straightforward, without any hesitation.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, as if he was making up his mind, stared into Yan Li's eyes, and asked, "Are you Mo Li?"

There was a hint of expectation and nervousness in his voice, as if the answer to this question was of vital importance to him.

Yan Li frowned slightly when she heard this. She was silent for a while and did not answer immediately. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while, and there was a subtle sense of tension in the air.

Liu Jun felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He clenched his fists tightly, and beads of sweat oozed out of his palms. He had never been so nervous before, even when he broke into the black demon's lair alone, he had never been so nervous.

"No." After a moment, Yanli finally gave his answer.

When Liu Jun heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and a slight disappointment flashed across his eyes. He looked at Yan Li carefully. Although she didn't look like Mo Li, her unique temperament and the familiar yet strange feeling she brought to him made him involuntarily connect the two together. Perhaps, this was just an obsession deep in his heart, a nostalgia and reluctance for the past.

What he didn't notice was that when he looked lost, the corners of Yan Li's mouth slightly raised as he lowered his head.

"How long can you hold Mo Wushang back?" After a while, Yan Li was the first to break the silence.

Liu Jun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and gave an answer he thought was more reliable: "Half an hour is no problem. I will try my best to delay him and buy you some time." Hearing this, Yan Li nodded slightly, with a look of determination in his eyes: "Okay, I will try my best to deal with the Black Demon General within half an hour, and then I will come over to help you."

Liu Jun couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard this. He looked at Yan Li, frowned and said, "Well, let's be honest. This is a war, so you can't show off. Aren't you only in the early stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm? Are you really sure you can beat that powerful Black Demon General?"

He had some understanding of this Black Demon General. His strength was considered outstanding among the late Half-Step Divine King Realm and he was extremely powerful. He really doubted whether Yan Li could complete this seemingly impossible task.

However, Yan Li just glanced at him coldly and said bluntly: "Just take care of yourself. Aren't you also in the early stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm? I know my limits and I don't need you to worry about me."

Liu Jun's cheeks twitched when he heard this. He secretly complained in his heart: This damn girl is really ungrateful! He was obviously worried about her safety, but she responded to him so coldly.

However, although he was somewhat unhappy, Liu Jun also understood that the current situation did not allow him to think too much. At that time, he must go all out to delay Mo Wushang and buy enough time for Yan Li.

At this time, the atmosphere in the Jinyang City Lord's Mansion was solemn and tense. A circle of human doctors stood around the Dark Queen's bedroom, their faces grim, as if they were facing an unprecedented challenge.

Among them, there was a distinguished great medical saint named An Mu. His white hair was particularly eye-catching under the candlelight. He looked quite old, but his eyes revealed a depth and wisdom.

The Dark Lord General paced back and forth in the bedroom anxiously, his eyes sometimes fell on the Dark Lord groaning in pain on the sickbed, and sometimes turned to the doctors, expecting them to come up with a way to treat him.

"How is it? How to treat it?" He couldn't help but ask again, with a hint of pleading and urgency in his voice.

An Mu was silent for a few seconds, his eyes slowly swept over everyone present, and finally stopped on Mo Wushang next to him.

Mo Wushang, the deputy chief of the Temple of Heaven who was known for his ruthlessness, was squinting his eyes and looking An Mu up and down, as if he was evaluating his worth.

An Mu was filled with anger and disdain for these evil black demons who devoured civilians. With his personality, he would be lucky if he didn't poison them. How could he be willing to treat the Dark Queen sincerely? But unfortunately, Mo Wushang had captured his descendants as a threat, so he had to come here with a brave face.

However, facing the Dark Queen's illness, An Mu felt helpless. The Dark Queen's physique was completely different from that of humans. Although his medical skills were superb, he seemed powerless at this moment.

"Mr. An, can it be cured?" Mo Wushang finally spoke to break the silence, his voice low, as if testing An Mu's bottom line.

An Mu sighed and shook his head helplessly: "I am good at treating people, but the Dark Queen has a different physique from humans, so I can't do anything."

The palace suddenly fell into a dead silence. The Black Demon General's face turned livid. He glared at An Mu, as if blaming him for his incompetence. Mo Wushang sneered, as if thinking about his next move.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence of the bedroom. A waiter in a black robe hurried in and whispered a few words in Mo Wushang's ear. After hearing this, Mo Wushang's eyes flashed with surprise. He nodded and signaled the waiter to leave.

"It seems that we have to use other methods." Mo Wushang turned around and said.

An Mu frowned, his eyes revealing confusion and uneasiness. Although he didn't know much about how to treat the injuries of the Dark Demons, he also knew how serious the injuries suffered by the Dark Queen were, and that they were almost irreversible. He could not imagine any way to save her life.

At this moment, a burst of crying suddenly broke the silence in the hall. Then, dozens of children were rudely driven into the house. Their faces were full of fear and helplessness, and their small bodies shivered in the cold wind.

Among these children, the oldest was only eleven or twelve years old, with a hint of childishness and innocence in their eyes; while the youngest was still in swaddling clothes, and had not even fully understood the world, yet they were caught up in this unexpected disaster.

Mo Wushang looked at these children and smiled. His smile was eerie and strange, as if he was appreciating an upcoming feast.

"After devouring the flesh, blood and souls of these little guys, I believe Her Majesty the Queen will recover soon." His words were full of confidence, but he did not take the lives of these children seriously at all.

"No!" An Mu's face changed drastically when he heard that, and he immediately spoke out to stop it.

However, Mo Wushang didn't seem to take An Mu's obstruction seriously. There was a flash of disdain in his eyes, as if he was mocking An Mu's childishness and naivety. Then, he waved his hand, signaling his men to continue.

First, a little girl about seven years old, wearing worn but clean clothes, was rudely brought in front of the Dark Queen by two elite members of the Catholic Temple in black robes.

Her eyes were full of fear and her little hands were tightly grasping the corners of her clothes, as if she could find a sense of security in this way.

After seeing the Dark Lord lying on the bed, the little girl was so scared that her whole body trembled and she burst into tears, with endless despair and fear in her voice.
