My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Indeed, on the fifth day, the grandmasters of the seven kingdoms appeared on the battlefield and began to crush Kouguan with their superior combat power.

The Dayun Dynasty suffered a great loss this time. Although it managed to hold on and repel the allied forces, the losses were extremely heavy.

After this attack, the seven-nation coalition rested for a while and did not immediately launch a new round of attacks.

Marquis Guanyong, Qin Shuhuai, went to Duling Pass, where the greatest pressure was, to personally take command. Half of the Chilin Army also gathered at Duling Pass.

Marquis Guanyong is a first-rank martial artist with extremely strong strength. In addition, he is the commander of the Chilin Army. His arrival has given the ordinary soldiers a lot of courage and boosted the morale of the army.

As expected, Marquis Guanyong did not fail to take advantage of the strategic location of Duling Pass. Two days later, he took the initiative to go out of the pass to meet the iron cavalry of the Great Qing Dynasty.

Marquis Guanyong led from the front, and the morale of the Chilin Army was high, which actually resulted in a great victory.

The Azure Dragon Army of the Great Azure Dynasty suffered a loss of nearly 20%, a truly devastating blow.

This was just the beginning. Three days later, a grandmaster from the Great Qing Dynasty made his move to kill Marquis Guanyong.

If a Grandmaster were to make a move, Marquis Guanyong, a mere Rank 1, would undoubtedly be dead.

Surprisingly, Marquis Guanyong survived, while the Grandmaster... died!

Marquis Guanyong relied on the Chilin Army to form a military formation and forcefully killed a Grandmaster on the battlefield.

The price that Marquis Guanyong paid was his left hand and the lives of more than seventy soldiers of the Chilin Army.

Trading one hand and the lives of seventy-odd soldiers for a Grandmaster seems like a worthwhile exchange!

This is a great victory, an unparalleled great victory!

When the news reached the Great Yun Dynasty, all the people were in an uproar, and Marquis Guanyong was hailed as the 'God of War' by the people of the Great Yun Dynasty.

And Guan Yonghou also demonstrated through his actions that grandmasters are not invincible.

With the death of the Grandmaster of the Great Qing Dynasty, the allied forces of the seven kingdoms temporarily halted their offensive.

The morale of the Dayun Dynasty is currently high due to the outstanding achievements of Marquis Guanyong. On the contrary, some soldiers on their side are afraid of Marquis Guanyong, and their morale is obviously unstable.

At this point, closing the gates would only be a thankless and arduous task.

Marquis Guanyong alone turned the tide of the battle!

Emperor Li Muchen was overjoyed and bestowed many rewards upon Qin Shuhuai. He then issued an edict ordering Qin Shuhuai to return to the capital to recuperate.

After all, he lost an arm!

……

Qi Yu was also taken aback when he received the news.

I knew that Marquis Guanyong, Qin Shuhuai, was powerful, but I never expected him to be this powerful.

He actually killed a grandmaster with his mortal body!

Although the Chilin Army had a history of killing Grandmasters, Qi Yu only believed it now.

Qi Yu couldn't help but feel admiration for Marquis Guanyong.

Duling Pass is located in the western part of the Dayun Dynasty, near Jiangzhou City.

If Marquis Guanyong returns to the capital for treatment, he will inevitably pass through Jiangzhou City.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiyao, the only daughter of Marquis Guanyong, was in Jiangzhou City.

Qi Yu was on the official road outside Jiangzhou City, paying homage to the military god of the Dayun Dynasty with ordinary people.

The army escorting Qin Shuhuai slowly drove along the official road. Qi Yu, through his true qi perception, also saw Qin Shuhuai in the carriage.

The situation was not good; his left arm was empty, and his face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were as calm as usual, even somewhat gentle.

Such a quiet and gentle person doesn't seem like a commander at all.

He was more like a scholar who read books!

Marquis Guanyong also noticed Qi Yu, but he had no intention of stopping to communicate.

To be honest, he didn't like Qi Yu very much.

Because Qi Yu is a schemer!

The Chang family's affairs reveal Qi Yu's shrewdness.

He still feels lingering fear about the plan Qi Yu devised to force him to take sides.

Because Qi Yu had grasped his weakness and the things he valued.

His own daughter, Qin Xiyao, and the people of the Dayun Dynasty.

Therefore, although he admired Qi Yu, he did not want to become close to Qi Yu.

Just like Qi Yu's attitude towards Li Ming, he didn't particularly dislike him, but he didn't exactly like him either.

Qi Yu watched the convoy drive away, then sighed and turned to leave.

The Great Yun Dynasty is truly fortunate to have someone like Marquis Guanyong!

But why is there always a sense of unease in my heart?

……

Qi Yu returned to the courtyard, where Su Yue was washing clothes. Qi Yu sat down next to Su Yue, took the washed clothes from her, wrung them out, and hung them on a bamboo pole.

No matter what, life goes on.

After the Chinese New Year, my father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law went back home.

It was already noon when she finished washing the clothes. Su Yue unrolled her sleeves, looked at Qi Yu, and smiled, "Husband, what would you like to eat? I'll make it for you!"

Qi Yu hung the clothes on the bamboo pole to dry. Hearing Su Yue's words, he turned his head and smiled slightly, saying, "Didn't Uncle Li give us a fish to keep in a basin this morning? Let's have sweet and sour fish then!"

Su Yue nodded, turned around and went into the house.

After hanging the clothes out to dry, Qi Yu sat down under the eaves and enjoyed the breeze.

Winter is over, spring is coming.

Before I knew it, I had been in this world for three years!

Qi Yu was just about to reflect on some things when she suddenly heard a gasp – it was Su Yue's.

Qi Yu hurriedly put down the teacup and got up to go to the kitchen.

As soon as Qi Yu entered the kitchen, he saw Su Yue's still dripping face, her slightly damp clothes, and her wet hands.

Pfft!

In the wooden basin next to Su Yue, a large carp was wagging its tail, splashing water.

Qi Yu covered his forehead, realizing he had been careless!

Su Yue doesn't know how to kill fish!

Su Yue shook her delicate hand, then looked indifferently at the carp in the basin.

How dare a fish be so arrogant!

If it weren't for the fear of Qi Yu sensing its use of true energy, this fish would have been dead long ago, leaving not even a trace.

With Qi Yu around, she would try her best not to use her true energy and live as an ordinary woman. Otherwise, how could she not catch a fish?

Qi Yu rolled up his wide sleeves, came to Su Yue's side, and reached out to wipe the water droplets off Su Yue's face.

"Wife, go outside and clean yourself up first. I'll kill this fish. How dare you bully my wife! Watch me chop it into eight pieces!" Qi Yu said viciously.

Su Yue glanced at Qi Yu with her phoenix eyes slightly, but still managed to laugh.

Although it was just a seemingly ordinary joke, Su Yue felt very happy.

After Su Yue left, Qi Yu looked at the carp in the basin and squeezed its knuckles.

He originally wanted to eat sweet and sour fish, but now he's changed his mind and wants to eat sauerkraut fish instead!

That'll be three chapters for today. I should update more tomorrow, which is the beginning of the month. I'm going to go make some sauerkraut fish now.

Chapter 164 There's a thing

Marquis Guanyong returned to the capital to treat his injuries, but he disappeared before even reaching the capital.

Now, Marquis Guanyong is the military god of the Dayun Dynasty, and his disappearance has undoubtedly caused quite a stir.

The imperial court dispatched a large number of people to search, but all they found were the bodies of the guards who had escorted Qin Shuhuai.

The bodies of these guards were found at the border of Lantian County and Qingzhen County, and without exception, they all died from having their hearts shattered by the released internal energy.

Then they found signs of a fight beside the official road, and an entire mountain forest had been razed to the ground.

Based on subsequent speculation, it was determined that a grandmaster had intervened, and not just one.

Since there was no body of Guan Yonghou, then Guan Yonghou must have been kidnapped!

The news spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the Great Yun Dynasty, unstoppable.

Logically, unless the imperial court is foolish, it would not spread the news of the kidnapping of Marquis Guanyong, so as not to disturb the morale of the army and the people.

But the public still knows, why?

Because they have captured Guan Yonghou's men and have already made their demands public, they can't hide it from him anymore!

As most people expected, it was the Seven Kingdoms Alliance who captured Guan Yonghou, and it was a Grandmaster himself who took action.

Qin Shuhuai, who was seriously injured, was captured by the Grandmaster!

The Grandmasters who captured Qin Shuhuai were the Supreme Emperor of the Great Ding Dynasty, the only Grandmaster of the Great Ding Dynasty, Yan Lang, and the only remaining Grandmaster of the Great Qing Dynasty, Qian Zhen.

Covered in blood, Marquis Qin Shuhuai was bound to a chariot and pushed to the front of Duling Pass.

The army of the Great Qing Dynasty did nothing more than push Marquis Guanyong to the front of Duling Pass, putting pressure on the Chilin Army and breaking the will of the Great Yun Dynasty army.

Don't you all admire Qin Shuhuai and regard him as a god of war?

Now he's tied to the chariot in a sorry state; your war god is actually nothing to brag about.

This is what the Great Qing Dynasty and the Great Ding Dynasty wanted to convey by pushing Qin Shuhuai to the front of Duling Pass: to destroy the confidence of the people and army of the Great Yun Dynasty.
