Patrol Captain

Dong Fu was engrossed in watching the Martial Saint's omen when he suddenly heard these words. His bulbous nose sniffed, he covered his ears with his hands, and muttered, "I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it, you bastard chanting scriptures."

Anyway, it's fine if you "can't hear" it.

I had just been freed from Yunshan County, and I was so bored there that I didn't even dare to get drunk while drinking alone.

Seeing the old man's playful appearance, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile, and said, "If I capture and kill a demon king next time, I will give it to you, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Old Man Dong, who had been pretending not to hear, suddenly turned around, his eyes shining, his mouth wide open in a wide grin, "Deal!"

He trusted Chen Yuan; in his view, capturing and killing a demon king was not a difficult task for Chen Shen.

"Speak, what matter requires my intervention?"

Seeing the old man's quick change of expression, Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head, then pointed to Qi Tian under the Martial Saint's Heavenly Mandate and said:

"General Qitian still needs time to break through to the Martial Saint realm. As for Tianxiong Pass, the Northern Liang army has been at the gates for several days and will probably run out of patience soon. We can't leave them unattended."

"I'll trouble you to take charge."

"We're just waiting for the results from here."

"If only a commander of the Dragon-Tiger level comes from over there, you should be able to handle it without any problem. But if the King of Beiliang comes in person or sends a great master of martial arts, you might be able to give them a pleasant surprise."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Dong immediately understood. He looked in the direction Chen Yuan was pointing at the area where Qi Tian was, and his eyebrows shot up.
"From what you're saying, you're so certain that this Demon Suppression General can break through to the Martial Saint realm?"

Chen Yuan said without hesitation, "General Qi is just one step away from victory. He has gained experience from last time. This time, I will help him with a demon king's primordial spirit and use my inner world to help him suppress himself. I cannot think of any reason for failure."

There was no arrogance in his words, only a genuine sense of believing that things would fall into place naturally.

Old Dong touched his nose, then gave him a thumbs up, "You're awesome."

"That's good. Let's take advantage of the information gap and see which unlucky person is going to be in trouble."

"When can I go?"

“Now,” Chen Yuan said.

"Fine, since you gave me so much, activate the teleportation array." Old Dong reluctantly complained, then rolled up his sleeves, straightened his back, and closed his eyes.

However, Chen Yuan interrupted, "The Yinshan Sacred Tree is currently undergoing a transformation to change the stars and constellations, concealing the secrets of heaven, so it cannot be used for teleportation. Elder Dong, I'm afraid you'll have to make the trip yourself."

"Eight thousand miles is not far with your stamina."

Upon hearing this, Old Dong nearly vomited blood. He opened his eyes, his mouth twitching with anger, and blew on his beard, saying, "I knew it."

"Alright, enough talk. I'm heading out now. Remember, keep an eye on things. I don't know how to lead troops into battle, so don't mess things up, or I won't be responsible."

Chen Yuan smiled and nodded, then turned around and opened a door behind him.

Old Master Dong, the Dragon Tamer, was sharp-tongued but his actions spoke louder than words. He didn't waste any more time, greeted Gongsun Yang, took a sip from the wine gourd at his waist, clicked his tongue, and disappeared into the inner world in one step.

After Old Man Dong left, Chen Yuan then turned his attention to Gongsun Yang.

"Where has the army reached now?" he asked.

"Reporting to the general, after three days of marching, the army has arrived at the area along the Chuanzhong Pass for a final rest. The outposts have been set up, and next we will enter the territory occupied by the seven immortal kings."

"Apart from Chishui Prefecture, where the outposts reported that they would not allow passage, Zhennan Prefecture and several dead cities at Huxia Pass agreed to let the army pass."

"General, isn't Chishui Prefecture's refusal to grant passage a potential threat?"

Gongsun Yang recounted the military situation he had gathered at the front lines to Chen Yuan and shared his own thoughts.

In three days, the army had already arrived at the front-line defenses such as Chuanzhongguan for final rest and repairs. Next, they would cross the territory occupied by the seven immortal kings. Chen Yuan had previously invited the seven kings to a banquet to ask for passage, and six of them agreed. Only the Southern Heavenly King of Chishui Prefecture slammed the table and left.

"By bypassing Chishui Prefecture and passing through Weiyuan Pass, we still need to see how things go. Sending troops involves many things, and it's impossible for everything to go as planned. As for those royal cities that have agreed to let us pass, we must order our armies to pass through in batches as quickly as possible. We cannot distrust them completely, nor can we completely distrust them either." "In addition, I order all the officers to establish strongholds and set up teleportation points to ensure that intelligence flows smoothly."

At this point, Chen Yuan gave Gongsun Yang a deep look.
"These things will require your help, sir."

"It's time for you, sir, to set off."

Gongsun Yang is his "shadow". Hundreds of thousands of soldiers are now heading to the front line for their final rest before entering the battlefield.

Top-tier combat forces are needed to suppress the situation on the front lines.

Chen Yuan cannot be absent!

Gongsun Yang had no objection to this, though his mind was already with the soldiers on the front lines. He simply needed to obey the general's orders.

It hits exactly where you point it.

"General, then I shall go." Gongsun Yang looked at the Great General Qi Tian who was attempting to become a Martial Saint in the sky, and felt a surge of pride in his heart, hoping that another Martial Saint would be added to the Shu region. Then, he bowed to Chen Yuan, his voice filled with a sense of heroic ambition.

Chen Yuan nodded and hummed in agreement.

This made the entire Yunding Mountain even more desolate.

Only Chen Yuan guarded Qi Tian, ​​waiting.

Two days later.

"Boom!"

Outside Tianxiong Pass, iron hooves thundered.

A loud shout shook the world and reached Tianxiong Pass.

"Take this level!"

"kill!"

Suddenly, shouts of battle filled the air and shook the earth.

Fifty thousand elite cavalry from Beiliang launched an attack on the city. In an instant, the area outside Tianxiong Pass turned into a bloody battlefield, with the defenders of Tianxiong Pass fighting desperately to hold the city.

During the intense siege, a massive gilded bronze hammer, over ten zhang in size, swept across the northern city wall like a meteor, smashing through several flag formations. A deafening roar followed.

"Qi Tian, ​​get out here and stop hiding like a coward."

"If you have the guts, fight me to the death."

As the voice echoed, a powerful general from the Northern Liang army formation, his feet treading on fire, soared into the sky, wielding a giant hammer, and challenged the enemy.

Soon, a gourd flew out from Tianxiong Pass, sweeping out black light and knocking away the huge bronze hammer that had smashed a corner of the city's protective formation. Then, a sly voice rang out.

"Hey you outside, what are you barking about? I don't care about you. I'll give you a chance. Quickly take these scumbags and leave, or I, Master Dong, will make sure you're utterly defeated and reduced to a withered flower."

Upon hearing this, the Dragon and Tiger General of Beiliang unleashed his supernatural powers and quickly engaged the old man with the grizzled nose on the wine gourd in battle.

The two powerful dragon and tiger warriors fought fiercely in the sky, going back and forth.

As a result, halfway through the fight, while directing the Dragon-Binding Rope to deal with the Northern Liang Dragon Tiger, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

A transparent sword light suddenly appeared a hundred feet behind him, slashing straight down.

"Whoa! Which bastard dared to launch a sneak attack?" he yelled, shouting for protection. His Qi Gourd flashed and appeared above his head. (End of Chapter)
