Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 995 The Unusual Movements of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty

As Yu Jin continuously freed up troops, he began to systematically and methodically clear out the Qing army from the chaos.

The Qing troops, previously divided by Yu Jinyong's formation, were now surrounded by organized swordsmen and shieldmen, swarmed and killed by spearmen, and swept away by archers in a barrage of attacks.

The Qing army was constantly being defeated and surrendering.

In the end, only a few hundred Manchu cavalrymen remained, huddled together in the vast army.

Xuan Yi was covered in blood, his spear was broken, and the long sword he had snatched had several nicks. His eyes were filled with bitterness, helplessness, and disappointment.

He still doesn't know how they ended up in this mess, but he knows they're finished.

"You have already lost. I have no interest in killing you. Surrender!" Yu Jin said expressionlessly, making one last attempt to persuade you to surrender.

"We, the descendants of the Eight Banners, have no choice but to die in battle; how can we live on the charity of our enemies!"

Xuan Yi's face was grim, but he still gave a firm answer. He felt regret and helplessness, but he was not weak.

Yu Jin didn't waste any more words. Persuading someone to surrender was just an attempt, and since the attempt failed, then he would kill them.

Yu Jin waved the flag, and thousands of archers drew their bows and unleashed a dense rain of arrows, bringing the Eight Banners cavalry to their final demise.

After the rain of arrows swept across the ground, Yu Jinming and his men found all the corpses and stabbed each one to ensure that no one escaped.

Watching the Xinghan army finish off the enemies with deadly blows, those who had surrendered...
The Qing dynasty nobles trembled with fear.

They didn't know whether they should be angry or something else, but in the end all their emotions turned into fear.

As for the Qing soldiers who became puppets, they showed no emotional fluctuations and simply surrendered indifferently.

They numbered in the tens of thousands, but the war ended so abruptly that they were all taken prisoner in the blink of an eye.

Yu Jin sent men to take the prisoners and dismantle all the mountain strongholds in the mountains. Leaving these places might attract bandits in the future, so it was better to burn them down early to avoid future troubles.

After clearing the entire mountain range, Yu Jin discovered that many demon immortals had been missed. However, the mountain range was simply too vast, and it was inevitable that some would slip through the net, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

The demon immortal who had escaped the search paced back and forth, roaring. The army had been defeated so quickly and so miserably that they hadn't even had time to react.

Now that they've realized it, it's too late.

On the battlefield, it's all about who can think faster, and it's clear that they were much slower than Yu Jin.

Yu Jin had already finished fighting before they even realized what was happening; it was utterly fatal.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!" Having made up his mind, the demon immortal summoned all the demon immortals in the mountain range.

"I want revenge, do you support me?" Huang Xian looked at the other demon immortals and asked them almost roaringly.

“Revenge… what do we have left to take revenge on…” the surviving fox spirit said bitterly.

Their proud ancestor was the reincarnation of Nurhaci. Now that Nurhaci is dead, all their ancestors have vanished. Their assistance to Xuan Yi was merely to secure a place for survival.

"Do you really want to spend the rest of your lives hiding and dying in fear in these mountains?" Huang Xian scolded angrily, exasperated.

"What's your plan?" The snake spirit raised his head, understanding the implication in the yellow spirit's words.

"We will contact the Mongol Yuan dynasty and use their strength to take revenge!"

Huang Xian stared intently at the other demon immortals present. He was not much of a figure on his own, so he had to gather everyone together.

"I know there are still Qing troops in some places. Let's go and seek refuge with them, and then contact the Mongol Yuan. As long as we are willing to cause trouble for Xinghan, the Mongol Yuan will definitely agree to our demands!"

A fierce light flashed in Huang Xian's eyes. With their own strength, they probably wouldn't be able to take revenge in this lifetime.

However, things would be different if the Mongol Yuan dynasty were introduced.

"I don't want to cause trouble anymore, I just want to live!"

A fox spirit shook its head, intending to leave, but the yellow fox spirit revealed its true form, biting it to death in one bite, and then stood on its corpse while staring at the other demon spirits.

"What's the point of living like those unintelligent beasts? Now, it's your turn to make a choice."

Under Huang Xian's fierce gaze, all the demon immortals chose to obey. They were already confused and directionless, so giving them a choice seemed like a good option.

"I will definitely avenge this!" Huang Xian gazed in the direction of Yu Jin's camp, his eyes filled with malice.

Weasels are known for holding grudges, especially when it comes to such a deep-seated hatred as the annihilation of a family.

Huang Xian gathered many surviving demon immortals and sought refuge with the Qing army group hiding in another mountain range.

Then they began to prepare to contact the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, which is why Huang Xian brought many demon immortals with her, as she could not accomplish this task alone.

The original connection between the Qing court and the Mongol Yuan dynasty was facilitated by shamans acting as intermediaries.

The demons and immortals easily made contact with the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

This sparked a discussion within the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

"They're just a defeated army. Do you really believe they can hold Xinghan back?" someone said dismissively, looking down on Huang Xian and his group.

If there were still a regional-level empire left, they might treat it differently, but this small force hiding in a remote mountain valley was no different from trash in their eyes.

"Anyway, we don't lack supplies, so let's give them some supplies so they can prepare properly. Wouldn't it be a good thing if they could deliver a powerful blow to Xinghan when the time comes?"

Some people think they could give it a try. After all, they have a large family and business. They could treat them as a watchdog and maybe one day it will bite Xinghan and give them some amusement.

The discussion was intense, but the underlying tone was the same: no one respected this defeated army, nor did they believe they could cause much trouble for Xinghan.

After all, Xinghan's strength was evident to all, and a defeated Qing court seemed to have little power to continue causing trouble for Xinghan.

"Give in to their demands! Send them some equipment and provisions, and some technology!" Torre finally decided.

They are also wary of Xinghan's development. In the current turbulent environment, any move could have far-reaching consequences, so they dare not target Xinghan casually, for fear of being attacked from both the Ming Dynasty and Xinghan.

However, it's still possible, or rather, necessary, to trip up Xinghan.

They wanted to test Xinghan's reaction; they couldn't let Xinghan continue to develop.

Just like with the Ming Dynasty, they didn't have a major war, but their private friction never stopped.

Creating trouble for Xinghan is a necessary part of their training.

Of course, they wanted to make it appear as if the Ming Dynasty had done it.

……

"Report, Marshal! The Imperial Observatory has detected an unknown fluctuation spreading throughout the Mount Tai mountain range, and it has been lasting for an extremely long time!"

"Qingzhou?" Upon hearing the messenger's report, Jiang Wei frowned. "Why so frequently lately? Could it be that some small world has connected with this realm? Or perhaps..."

Jiang Wei fell into deep thought. The only things that could trigger the Astronomical Bureau's detection were spatial fluctuations or the summoning of evil gods; in any case, nothing good.

Most of the Qing Dynasty's territory has been incorporated into the Xinghan Empire, but there are still many problems in various places.

As was customary, Jiang Wei immediately dispatched people to investigate the situation.

"Pass on my order: send the Guardian Squad to investigate the situation. Once they discover anything, return and report immediately!"

A few days later, Jiang Wei did not receive a reply from the Guardian Squad, and his expression instantly became serious.

Given the speed at which internal energy leaves the body, a round trip wouldn't take more than two days. Moreover, he filmed multiple instances of internal energy leaving the body. Theoretically, it's normal to report any intelligence once a day or once every two days. However, the lack of any news for the past few days is abnormal.

The Guardian Squad consists of experts who can project their inner energy into their bodies. They were only sent out for a simple patrol, so how could they not return for so long?

"Report to Luoyang and request experts to come and investigate!" A bad feeling welled up in Jiang Wei's heart.

"Send orders to Yu Jin's army to advance towards the Taishan Mountains, and order the surrounding cities to declare martial law in preparation for an enemy attack!"

Jiang Wei's intelligence report was sent to Zhuge Liang, who took it very seriously. After all, they had not yet fully digested the Qing Dynasty world, and any special event had to be taken very seriously.

"Prime Minister, since that's the case, how about I go there myself?" Zhao Yun stepped forward and asked.

"Zilong? It's been a lot of trouble for you to make that trip. If there are any problems, contact Boyue as soon as possible!" Zhuge Liang nodded to Zhao Yun.

Others might not trust him, but Zhao Yun was a general he trusted completely. He was skilled in both literature and martial arts and could handle any situation independently.

Zhao Yun rode the Jade Lion that Shines at Night, passed through the spatial gate to arrive at the Qing Court, and then flew all the way towards Mount Tai.

When Zhao Yun arrived at Mount Tai, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The entire Mount Tai mountain range was shrouded in mist, and it was not visible from the outside; one could only discover it once inside the mountain range.

"No wonder the Guardian Squad went missing?"

Zhao Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat puzzled. Even so, the Guardian Squad shouldn't have disappeared. There must be something else unknown.

He casually used the clouds to create a paper crane, then imbued it with life and guided it to fly in the direction of Jiang Wei.

Zhao Yun then plunged into the mist, eager to see what kind of monsters and demons were causing trouble on Mount Tai.

"It can even conceal the spread of divine will? I wonder if a divine cultivator like Wen Hou could do that?"

Zhao Yun carefully probed the situation within the mist, various secret techniques flashing on his body.

Using his immense inner energy, Zhao Yun frantically unleashed his secret techniques, analyzing the composition of the mist while releasing various spirit creatures resembling familiars to explore in all directions.

"What a strange place..."

Zhao Yun frowned. He still couldn't figure out the composition of the mist, which included both natural factors and the influence of secret techniques.

A perfectly good mountain range has been transformed into a forbidden zone for life.

Zhao Yun tried to dispel the fog, but soon found it to be in vain. Even if he stirred up a strong wind to disperse the fog in front of him, the fog would soon fill the thin areas.

"Something's not right, absolutely not right!"

Zhao Yun became even more cautious and continued to explore carefully.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun was also familiar with the terrain of Mount Tai. Although the two worlds were very different, they were still largely similar.

Zhao Yun explored along the original world map and finally discovered a mountain stronghold with rising clouds.

This discovery invigorated Zhao Yun. People meant intelligence. Zhao Yun used secret techniques to infiltrate the mountain stronghold and silently kidnapped two henchmen, examining their memories.

They discovered that all the changes occurred after the Guardian team landed in the mountains.

In other words, the purpose of the other side's surveillance was to trap the members of the Guardian Squad and cut off their contact with the outside world.

"The remnants of the Qing army actually possess such technology?"

Zhao Yun had no doubts, after all, the Qing Dynasty was a great empire, and even if it was defeated, it still had some foundation.

What puzzled Zhao Yun was what the Qing court was doing, but unfortunately, such a secret was naturally unknown to a few low-level henchmen.

Zhao Yun didn't want to alert the enemy. He sent the henchmen back and, based on their memories, deduced the center of the fog. He then rode the Night-Shining Jade Lion towards the center.

He plans to take a closer look at the changes in the core area.

As for the Guardian Squad, Zhao Yun estimated that they were probably doomed. With a secret technique of this scale, once you got caught up in it, there was little chance of winning.

Therefore, between searching for the Guardian Squad and investigating the core secrets, Zhao Yun chose the latter.

Then, just as Zhao Yun was about to get close, several figures blocked his way.

"you……"

Zhao Yun's expression changed slightly. He realized that the one who had stopped him was the missing Guardian Squad, who hadn't even changed their clothes.

"General Zhao, since you're here, why don't you stay?"

An eerily indifferent voice came from the guardians, and Zhao Yun realized that these guardians were being controlled by someone.

He activated his inner energy to its maximum and slashed at the guardians and the others with his sword.

"No, it's impossible. We need a master cultivator like General Guan!" Zhao Yun originally wanted to save people, but he found that the invisible threads he was controlling were unusually hard.

Internal energy attacks were completely ineffective against it.

"Seven Probes of the Coiling Serpent Spear!"

Zhao Yun wielded his Dragon Gallant Spear with dazzling skill, striking down one after another the guardians blocking his path.

As he sensed the influx of clouds and more energy, Zhao Yun's expression began to change.

The preparations on the other side were even more thorough than he had imagined. He was even at risk of being left behind today, with no chance to rescue anyone.

Zhao Yun quietly left a series of marks on the guardian, then activated the Night-Shining Jade Lion to escape the mist and retreat from Mount Tai.

The Qing court wanted to pursue them, but after seeing Zhao Yun's performance, they wisely gave up on that hope.

They couldn't keep Zhao Yun; they currently had no generals capable of confronting him, so this was the only way to force Zhao Yun to leave.

But if they go, the news that they have been so careful to keep secret will be completely leaked.
