At this moment, the atmosphere within the Celestial Hall was really suppressive.
Everyone was silent and didn't mention the topic from before.
Hong Jiuchen was pumped up, his eyes shining brightly. Tan Jing smiled and didn't speak, his face was filled with excitement. As for Fuyue and the others, they were drinking with dark and sunken expressions.
Although it was rare Celestial Wine, the few of them drank it in large mouthfuls, not feeling the taste at all.
Within the hall, only Zong Shou was calm, sitting below with a smile that wasn't a smile as he poured wine for himself.
Just like that, for a full day, no one opened their mouths to speak.
As for the dancers below the stage, they had already changed a total of three rounds.
At this moment, most of the people in the hall weren't focused.
Zong Shou was also calculating the time. A battle of millions of people wasn't simple and would often drag on for a long time. Within a few months, it would be tough to decide victory or defeat.
However, this time Hong Jiuchen was obviously going all out and he also had Tan Jing's help.
As for the others, no matter if they were willing or not, they had to help him.
The battle for Yuanlian World was about to come to an end. They would definitely go all out in this battle.
One side was struggling in a desperate situation, the other side wanted to settle everything in one go.
This was why in Zong Shou's eyes, this battle would at most take two to three days to decide victory or defeat.
The chance of victory or defeat would most probably appear at this point in time.
His lips curled up, Zong Shou was slightly curious. What kind of methods would Zhuang Yu use to win?
Suddenly, there was a loud clang within the hall.
Zong Shou was jolted awake from his thoughts and then raised his eyes in shock. Only to see Fuyue suddenly toss the wine cup in his hand below the hall.
The wine splattered all about, causing the dancers to be shocked and stop their actions.
Their faces were ashen white as they looked above in terror.
Fuyue scoffed coldly, "All of you scram! This wine is tasteless and the singing and dancing are so bad. Singing and dancing, making one annoyed. What kind of nonsense is this? It's really messing up people's thoughts! "
Hong Jiuchen's brow rose up, his eyes filled with rage. In the end, he waved his sleeves to tell the girls below to back down.
"Cultivator Fuyue must be joking. It isn't that my wine isn't good and it isn't that my dancers aren't good. It is that you are angry right? "
Scoffing coldly, Hong Jiuchen's expression was arrogant, "This time if you are unhappy, you can fight with me. However, at that time, our agreement will be broken. If Fu Yue were to win, I would naturally have nothing to say. But if you lose, Saint Emperor Jijue, he won't let you off easily … "
Fu Yue's expression changed drastically as he held his breath. In the end, he let out a muffled groan and no longer refuted.
He had nowhere to vent the anger in his chest. At this moment, he looked down at Zong Shou who was calmly drinking wine. His tone turned dark, "To think that Ruler can actually sit still at such a time. The few of us can leave the Yuanren World and still have some compensation. At least we can get a small world. But Monarch, in a few days, you will lose everything you have invested. Leaving the Yuanren World with nothing, even I feel pitiful for you. If I were you, I would even have thoughts of killing you … "
Zong Shou was speechless. How did the two of them end up implicating him?
Hong Jiuchen's expression didn't change when he heard that. The skinny old man beside him stared at Zong Shou with a snake-like gaze.
His eyes were filled with mocking intent. An intent suppressed over like it was a warning.
Tan Jing laughed, "Ruler is magnanimous, how would he be like you? Moreover, at this moment, Brother Zong also has problems with Non-Smile! Brother Fuyue, if you want to use words to provoke Ruler to attack, it won't be as you wish! Brother Zong, is what I Tan Jing said right? "
While he spoke, he wasn't as ashamed as before as he raised his cup towards Zong Shou.
"Brother Zong's magnanimity is outstanding, I am impressed! Although I lost this time, it wasn't because of the battle. Unfortunately, we can't work together. If there is a chance next time, I will join hands with Brother Zong … "
Zong Shou smiled and shook his head, not bothering about him at all. He left Tan Jing opposite him.
No matter how good his temper was, he wasn't willing to be polite with such a person.
Tan Jing didn't feel awkward. After laughing, he drank the wine in his hand.
In the next moment, his eyes lit up, "It seems like there is progress!"
He made a grabbing motion in the air, and a red bird was brought over.
When it landed in Tan Jing's hands, its entire body exploded, turning into dozens of spiritual lights that danced in front of Tan Jing, forming dozens of runes.
Others didn't understand, Zong Shou also didn't understand. However, this was probably a unique communication method of the Celestial Order which could prevent people from intercepting.
Cang Shengdao also had similar methods.
As expected, moments later, Tan Jing waved his sleeves and brushed away those runes. He smiled, "What a good Guixuan! This general under Brother Hong's command is really amazing. In just a day, he managed to sneak attack Linxu City and break through the defensive line here. Now that he is going straight in, not long later he will be able to attack the enemy from here … "
He seemed to feel that his words weren't appropriate. Tan Jing looked towards Zong Shou and smiled apologetically, "Ruler, I am sorry, my words were inappropriate. Please forgive me!"
Zong Shou still didn't bother. This time he didn't do it on purpose. He was in deep thought. Linxu City?
Why was it here? With Zhuang Yu's ability to use troops, how would he be so careless?
Speaking of which, this name was really familiar. He might have paid attention to it not long ago.
Numerous thoughts flashed across his mind. He also flipped out all the terrain and military arrangements around Linxu City.
In the vicinity of this place, there was a continuous mountain range. However, Zhuang Yu really didn't arrange too many troops here.
It was because they didn't have enough troops and also because of the terrain. Linxu City was at the mountain pass and the terrain was dangerous.
They didn't need many generals to be able to defend.
What was surprising was that Zhuang Yu's most elite Close Guards were actually here.
For a moment, he was slightly absent-minded. He had already gained some understanding.
So that was the case. Zhuang Yu really didn't disappoint him …
When Hong Jiuchen heard this, there wasn't much joy on his face. Instead, he frowned.
"Till now, there hasn't been any news from my side!"
Tan Jing smiled and shook his head, "It is because your beloved general is too cautious. Although I have not met him, I know a little about Gui Xuan's personality. This person had a cold temperament, steady and prudent. If there isn't an outcome, he won't report it to Brother Hong. "
"That's true!"
Hong Jiuchen smiled, "He is just like that! Speaking of which, in the Yuanren World, he is the only general talent that can compare to Zhuang Yu! Unfortunately, Zhuang Yu is a good person. "
He said towards Zong Shou, "Brother Zong really knows how to use people. This time we lost because we were too weak. Even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice! The outcome of this battle is already decided. However, I want to be friends with Brother Zong. In the future, when the Yuanren World trades, Brother Zong's Da Qian Celestial Dynasty and the few of you can participate and take 5% of it! "
Fuyue scoffed. 5%? Was this charity?
Seeing that Zong Shou was still in a daze and didn't react at all, it was like he had taken a huge blow. He instantly shook his head, too lazy to reply. He waved his sleeves and was about to get up and leave.
Since the matter was already settled, there was no point in staying any longer. He was too lazy to see the two of them being gleeful.
Just at this moment, he heard a laugh spread out from the side.
Looking out, he saw that it was Zong Shou. Could it be that this fellow was unwilling to accept his loss and had lost his mind? Could it be that he had lost his mind?
Not only him, but even Hong Jiuchen and Tan Jing, as well as Mufang and Chahou Hu who were silent all looked over.
They were all filled with confusion, their expressions weird.
Zong Shou was too lazy to bother, a purple gold talisman broke through the heavy world barriers and descended into the Cloud Sky World.
Since Zhuang Yu didn't disappoint him.
Then naturally, Zong Shou wouldn't let him down!
※ ※ ※
At the same time, within the Yuanren World, at the side of a narrow mountain path.
Zhuang Yu stabbed his sword into the ground, his body was like a pagoda standing on a hill.
At this moment, there was a 20,000-man infantry army to his right.
They were all dressed in white armor, their bodies tall and muscular, their hands holding wide swords.
They were all as stable as mountains, some of them silently standing there.
There was no noise or unnecessary movement. It was as if they were all statues.
Although there were only 20 thousand of them, their aura was really majestic.
He Daoren wore a purple gold robe and stood beside Zhuang Yu.
His eyes focused in front of him, he couldn't help but feel nervous. If they broke through here, then the Great Xuan Country under his rule would be pierced through.
At that time, the entire defensive line would collapse.
"Brother He doesn't seem to be worried?"
"How is that possible? Before I came, I was terrified. However, after knowing that things had already reached this stage half a day ago, I wasn't worried anymore. "
He Daoren smiled and turned around, only to see Zhuang Yu open his eyes, the glow in his eyes was like lightning.
"Since Brother Zhuang expected it, then you must have a way to deal with it? Linxu City falling must have been within your expectations. "
"Not really, I didn't expect it to fall so quickly! That Guixuan's ability to use troops is not bad! Unfortunately, those fellows in Linxu City weren't able to retreat in time … "
Zhuang Yu took in a deep breath, his expression was sad, "Then, Brother He, do you know? Why did I choose this place for the final battle? "
Final battle?
He Daoren's eyes flashed. Based on what he knew, Zhuang Yu didn't have many troops nearby.
Could it be that this person had other plans?
"I don't know!"
He was really confused. He Daoren shook his head, "I only know that the nearby terrain is really complicated and isn't good for a large army to expand. It also isn't suitable for cavalry. If we are not careful, our back path will be cut off and we will be in danger of being wiped out! "
"Back path? How do I have troops in my hands to block his back path? That Guixuan is really careful when using troops, so he won't have such a chance. I chose this place because I don't have enough troops! "
Zhuang Yu mocked himself, following which his gaze became as sharp as a knife, "This is why I only have some chances of winning here. When two people meet on a narrow path, the courageous will win!
