Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 37 Night Raid

Beihaihou's main camp.

Yuan Futong's face was gloomy.

Something about what happened today made him feel uneasy.

If Su Daji's beauty trap succeeds, Wen Zhong will be able to capture Baishi City smoothly.

At that time, everything will be in vain.

After discovering the commotion on Wen Zhong's side last night, he abandoned his original plan to send assassins to test Black Tiger.

Deng Zhong then unleashed a burst of Qingping Sword energy, and both he and the Mountain Lord behind him realized that their plan to kill Wen Zhong had failed.

Who would have thought that this old guy had such a trump card up his sleeve?

With just a wisp of the Azure Lotus Sword's aura, only a handful of people in this primordial world could escape unscathed from its power.

Instead, they sent a talisman to Chaoge for help, since they could not eliminate Wen Zhong from external forces.

Then they pressured Wen Zhong in the court, which led to the eldest prince, Wei Zi Qi, offering advice to Emperor Yi.

The reason he plotted against Wen Zhong was simply because Wen Zhong might side with the Second Prince, Wei Zhongyan.

As the head of the civil officials, Wen Zhong would have been content to simply devise some good policies for governing the country.

Who would have thought that he would dare to interfere in military affairs and establish his prestige in the army by leading troops to sweep away the northern barbarians?

At that time, he will have military and political power in his hands. If he supports the second prince, Wei Zhongyan, then the eldest prince will completely lose his hope of ascending the throne.

As for Emperor Yi's third son, Zi Shou.

A cold smile flashed through Yuan Futong's mind. He was just a good-for-nothing who did nothing all day long, not worth his energy at all.

He turned to the jade-colored spider behind him and advised, "Mountain Lord, Su Daji is trying to seduce the barbarian leader in the city. We cannot sit idly by and do nothing. We should deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise things may change."

"Oh, do you have a good idea?"

Inside the tent, a jade-colored spider named Mountain Lord rubbed its pincers against a jade-colored silk cocoon the size of a person in front of it. It extended its mouthparts and inserted them into the cocoon.

Painful howls emanated from the cocoon, inside which was a living person who had been unconscious but was now awakened by the pain, only to be devoured by the demon.

Yuan Futong watched this scene expressionlessly. After a brief moment of thought, he said, "They can use a honey trap, so naturally we can also make sure their scheme is a waste of money."

The mountain king's eight eyes lit up simultaneously: "You mean?"

"That's right. We'll expose Su Daji's conspiracy to the barbarians. Their honey trap will surely fail, and Wen Zhong will have no choice but to send his entire army to break through Baishi City."

We can then sit back and watch the tigers fight, and even secretly contact the barbarians for help. As long as we can stall Wen Zhong for ten days or half a month, his position as Grand Tutor will surely be in jeopardy.”

"Fool! Throwing a meat bun at a dog is a waste of time, but I want this bun. Are you going to give it to that barbarian?"

The mountain lord's eight eyes flashed red light, and Yuan Futong suddenly rolled on the ground in pain, feeling as if countless spiders were tearing at his flesh all over his body, and he could only beg for mercy repeatedly.

"Mountain Lord, please calm your anger. Mountain Lord, please calm your anger."

Yuan Futong's voice grew softer and softer, and he was about to give up.

Upon seeing this, the mountain lord stopped his magic.

Yuan Futong, still shaken, got up from the ground and said, "I negotiated with the barbarians. If they secretly handed Su Daji over to us, we would provide them with assistance, as long as Wen Zhong couldn't capture Baishi City. Then Su Daji would naturally be yours, Lord Mountain Lord."

"Okay~ Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, the mountain king laughed excitedly, as if he had thought of something happy, and his originally jade-like body turned slightly red.

Yuan Futong lowered his head, hiding the resentment in his eyes.

At the foot of Baishi City.

A fierce battle is underway.

"Kill!"

Barbarians, demons, and the army of Ji Province were in complete chaos.

A bronze chariot rampaged through the army formation.

In their panic, they rushed headlong into the battlefield towards the foot of White Stone City.

"Boom!"

A large hand slammed down, instantly turning the two horses into a bloody mess.

The owner of the giant hand was none other than the enormous ape that had been standing by the city wall earlier.

The giant ape was about to reach out and grab the carriage.

The carriage suddenly exploded, sending countless fragments flying everywhere.

Yang Jian jumped out of the carriage carrying Su Daji.

The giant ape was stunned for a moment, then its anger surged, and every hair on its body stood on end.

He had intended to use the carriage as a toy, but the man in front of him ruined it. The woman in the man's arms, an even more fun toy than the carriage, was also taken away by this man!

I can't stand it.

The giant ape clenched its fist and angrily punched the man in mid-air.

Before the fist arrived, a loud bang rang out.

The biting wind stung the cheeks of Yang Jian and Su Daji, who were in mid-air.

The veil on Su Daji's face was even blown off.

Her clothes clung tightly to her body, revealing her shapely figure under the fierce wind of the punches.

Yang Jian had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery around him; a deadly crisis was looming ahead.

He held the bronze halberd in one hand and met the incoming giant fist with a blow, sparks flying in the air.

The giant ape's body was remarkably hard, like metal.

Yang Jian and the other man flew out together.

He struggled to adjust his body in mid-air, maintaining a standing posture as he landed on the ground, holding Su Daji as he retreated dozens of steps before finally stopping.

His arms were sore and weak that he almost couldn't hold the weapon in his hand.

This giant ape possessed terrifying strength; even with his 200,000 jin of strength, he could not withstand it.

If it weren't for his golden skin and jade bones, his right arm would probably be broken and fractured by now.

Upon discovering that Yang Jian was unharmed, the giant ape became even more enraged, pounding its chest repeatedly with its fists as it charged towards the two of them like a madman.

A flicker of fear crossed Yang Jian's heart, and he pulled Su Daji along, intending to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack.

Although Su Daji had some cultivation, she had not practiced any combat techniques, and she couldn't stand being dragged around by Yang Jian.

She cried out in pain, "Be gentle, you're hurting me!"

Yang Jian, belatedly realizing the danger, had no time to explain before the enemy was at hand. He simply picked up Su Daji around the waist and dodged the giant ape's attack from behind.

Yang Jian was too agile and dodged several heavy blows from the giant ape.

After several unsuccessful attacks, the giant ape had no choice but to change its strategy, grabbing a huge rock from the ground and hurling it at Yang Jian.

"Boom boom boom~"

The boulder crashed to the ground, sending fragments flying everywhere.

Countless tiny pebbles flew and hit Yang Jian, but he seemed completely unaware.

Su Daji suddenly cried out in pain again, and Yang Jian looked down.

A bloodstain suddenly appeared on Su Daji's delicate and pitiful face.

It was scraped out by the incoming stones.

"It's a good thing you have some cultivation; don't you have any magic to block it?"

Su Daji's eyes widened in terror. She made a hand seal, and a flash of light appeared. The surrounding noise vanished, leaving only the two of them panting heavily.

It was a silencing spell!

Yang Jian was extremely frustrated. He hadn't expected that Su Daji wouldn't know any magic and would even use a silencing spell. Now he couldn't predict her location based on the sound of the giant ape throwing boulders behind him.

Fortunately, his demonic eye between his eyebrows could calculate the location of the boulder's fall based on the wind speed in the air, so his life was not in immediate danger.

However, his dodging movements were quite clumsy and awkward, far less effortless than before.

Upon seeing this, Su Daji blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly withdrew the silencing spell.

Yang Jian suppressed the profanity that wanted to escape his lips and glared at Su Daji in his arms: "Use your charm magic to bewitch that monkey."

"Why do you think he's been chasing me so relentlessly? You don't think my charm spells weren't working, do you?"

Su Daji retorted angrily.

Her charm works by exploiting weaknesses; if someone is consumed by lust, it amplifies that lust.

Anyone who has desires for her, regardless of the type of desire, will become a weakness she can exploit.

In fact, this was different from the kind of bewitching magic she used to call a deer a horse, and she naturally didn't bother to explain the difference to Yang Jian.

"Damn it~"

Yang Jian quickly dodged, and a huge rock grazed past his shoulder, sending a burning pain through his back.

This is not the way to go.

Although Shui Yunshen could dodge the stones thrown by the giant ape, he could only guarantee that he would dodge them; Su Daji in his arms would only turn into a pile of minced meat.

Should I try to vomit blood to test my Karmic Fire Divine Power?

That won't work either. At this moment, the giant ape is throwing stones hundreds of meters away. How could his blood possibly spray hundreds of meters away and land on the giant ape?

Yang Jian frowned. Was he about to use the magic weapon he had obtained from Wen Zhong?

At that time, the people in White Stone City will definitely be on guard, and he will be unable to cooperate with Su Daji's plan.

If he hadn't been holding Su Daji in his arms, Yang Jian would have already turned around and wrestled with the giant ape to see who was stronger.

But with this burden in his hands, he was truly at a loss.

So be it! Exposing the magic weapon is better than Su Daji being smashed into mincemeat.

Whether the honey trap succeeds or fails is none of his business; that's Wen Zhong's problem.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian freed one hand and reached for his waist. The magical power in his dantian was rapidly depleted, as if it were being pumped out.
