The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Sir, are you well in Qingcheng?"

"Are you really unsure about coming to Jiangnan?"

"Here you'll find breathtaking scenery, magnificent landscapes, and graceful, gentle beauties."

"If you come, Xiaoyi will serve you in every way and take good care of you."

After seeing Wang Baole off, Chen Xuan had just lain down to sunbathe when his communication jade slip started ringing incessantly.

Chen Xuan: "Thanks for the invitation, but I'm in Qingcheng. I just took an afternoon nap. I'm not going."

Shangguan Wanyi: "Sir, please consider this carefully. If you come, there will be countless treasures of gold and silver, fine wine and delicacies."

Chen Xuan: "Worldly affairs are like fleeting clouds that obscure the view; the carefree life is like that of an immortal. Taking too much brings too much burden."

"But……"

Shangguan Wanyi still wanted to persuade her.

Chen Xuan interrupted, "Besides, if I want to, I can go and get it myself; I don't need you to arrange it."

Shangguan Wanyi: "Sir, you are truly heartless. Don't you have any feelings for us at all?"

Chen Xuan: "The bond between master and servant ended in our past life; in this life, we are just ordinary friends."

Shangguan Wanyi: o＞_＜o

The king is right, men are all unreliable.

"Sir, if you have any plans to travel recently, please postpone them for now. There will be unusual activity in the southern part of Shenzhou. The demon race is about to launch a desperate counterattack."

After a moment's thought, Shangguan Wanyi revealed some information.

Chen Xuan praised, "Not bad. It seems the empress you're following is quite capable."

Since the spiritual energy has only recently recovered, the number of cultivators in Shenzhou is extremely small, and the corresponding training system is certainly not yet perfect, resulting in a severe shortage of manpower.

The demon race has a unique advantage: when spiritual energy is abundant and bloodline power is activated, their strength will increase even when they eat and drink.

Normally, the land of China should not be able to withstand the onslaught of the demon race.

Unexpectedly, under the leadership of this empress, not only did they defend the southern border, but they also launched a counterattack.

"That's natural."

Shangguan Wanyi said proudly, "Besides my teacher, the King is the person I admire most. She has unparalleled skills and talent."

"If the opportunity arises, I would love to introduce you to him."

Chen Xuan: "What's her name?"

Shangguan Wanyi said with some pride, "Wu Minghuang is the founder of the golden age of swordsmanship, the Empress of the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, and the only one to make royal power suppress the immortal path."

"..."

"..."

"Sir, are you still there? Why aren't you replying to my messages?"

"..."

"gentlemen?"

"I have something to do."

At this moment, Chen Xuan felt that the communication jade slip was burning hot.

"Isn't sir usually very lazy? Why do you still have things to do?"

"The chickens we raise are laying eggs, and if we don't collect them soon, they'll be stolen by weasels."

Shangguan Wanyi: ? ? ? ?

Chen Xuan disconnected the communication jade slip, looking somewhat helpless.

How come Wu Minghuang was reincarnated too?

This woman is very difficult to deal with.

He has lived through countless eras and has had countless life experiences. Among his many regrets, Wu Minghuang is the one he avoids and finds most troublesome.

……

……

Southern China, the Southern Frontier.

"My husband is becoming increasingly indifferent to me."

When the call was abruptly cut off, Shangguan Wanyi forgot all about maintaining her dignified demeanor and stomped her foot in anger.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry this time?"

At this moment, Wu Minghuang walked in from outside the tent, jokingly saying something.

At this moment, she was dressed in a crimson imperial robe, her black hair was styled into a neat court bun, and she wore only a single crimson gold jade hairpin, simple yet unable to conceal her elegance.

Despite being dressed in majestic imperial attire, her appearance was exceptionally beautiful, radiant and captivating, with an elegance that penetrated to the bone.

In her previous life, she was not only an empress, but also a deity who comprehended the Way of the Beauty and wielded imperial power.

"The gentleman still doesn't want to come to Jiangnan," Shangguan Wanyi said helplessly.

Wu Minghuang said jokingly, "In that case, once the Southern Frontier is pacified, I will personally go and arrange a marriage for you."

"Your Majesty, such jokes are not to be made lightly. The gentleman would not have such thoughts."

Shangguan Wanyi looked helpless. If her husband really had such thoughts, she would have acted long ago instead of waiting until now.

"The marriage proposal is just a pretense; I really want to meet him."

"I'm also very curious about this gentleman, since you describe him as so extraordinary."

A flash of great interest appeared in Wu Minghuang's eyes.

While they were talking.

Urgent reports of battle came from outside, and a group of people rushed over.

"Empress Qi has been summoned! A strange calamity has struck the southern border!"

"The various demon armies regrouped and launched a counterattack, abandoning the rest of their defenses and concentrating all their forces to launch a fierce attack on the West Wind Pass."

"They're desperately trying to break through and escape into the heart of the mountains! The forward defenses are under attack, and even with all of Lingxiao's men on the field, they can't stop them!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanyi's expression tightened.

The Xifeng Pass has a weak mountain range. If the main force of the demon race breaks through and escapes back to the southern border, there will be endless troubles.

They will break up into smaller groups, making them impossible to catch, and all the achievements in suppressing the demons will be in vain.

"I urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible; there is no time to lose."

The personnel sent by Ling Xiao to oversee the battle looked flustered and worried about the outcome.

Wu Minghuang, however, raised her red lips slightly and smiled faintly, appearing calm and confident.

"What's the panic?"

Wu Minghuang stepped out of the tent, her phoenix eyes sweeping over the crowd. She spoke clearly and calmly, revealing her entire scheme:

"This is the moment I've been waiting for."

Everyone was taken aback, not understanding why.

"In recent days, I have deliberately shown weakness and gathered my forces on both flanks, pretending that the defense line is full of loopholes, and deliberately shrinking the living space of the demon race."

"The demon race was cornered and became impatient, suspicious and greedy for survival. Seeing that the encirclement was tightening on all sides, only the West Wind Pass seemed to have the fewest troops and the biggest weakness."

"I calculated their mentality and predicted that, in their desperate situation, the demon race would definitely take a gamble and choose this path to break through at all costs."

This is not a case of the demon race finding a way out by sheer luck...

Instead, Wu Minghuang guided them step by step, deliberately leaving a path for them, forcing the demon race to obediently step into the deadly trap she had set!

Everyone was shocked and suddenly realized the truth, sincerely admiring this unfathomable strategist.

The overall trend was already in her grasp.

Then.

Wu Minghuang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and all the gentleness on her beautiful face vanished, leaving only a ruthless and decisive look.

She raised her hand and gave the order, her words ringing out clearly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation:

"Pass on my military orders!"

"All troops lying in ambush around Xifeng Pass, launch an attack!"

"The mountain road is blocked, the retreat route is cut off, and the net is completely tightened!"

"Not a single demon shall escape, not a single demon shall remain!"

"Encircle and annihilate the demon race!"

Military orders are like mountains, and they were immediately implemented.

The messenger acknowledged the order and rushed out of the tent.

The main force of the Southern Frontier demon race, who had fought desperately to break through and thought they had found a glimmer of hope, had just rushed into the West Wind Pass valley.

next second.

The mountains trembled, banners fluttered, and countless ambushes emerged from the mountains and cliffs.

Furthermore, there are modern weapons, with cannons firing in unison and fighter jets bombing.

The encirclement was completely sealed off, blocking all escape routes.

The demon race was instantly plunged into a desperate situation, with no way forward and no way back. In this deadly trap, they gradually despaired.

Inside the large tent, Wu Minghuang sat quietly, her phoenix eyes surveying the mountains and the battlefield, her stunningly beautiful face cold and indifferent.

With a grand scheme spanning thousands of miles, he lured the enemy into his trap, manipulating the demon race at will with his strategic brilliance.

Everyone knows that the Empress is stunningly beautiful, but few know that what makes this peerless beauty truly terrifying is never her appearance...

Rather, it is the cunning of a strategist, the wisdom of planning from afar, and the ruthless iron-bloodedness of an emperor.
