"Haaa, what a pity. Your son wanted to personally end that scoundrel!"
Jia Yun really felt a little regretful. Now, because he had helped to capture Ji Ning and the other guilty officials, he had been conferred the title of Vice Commander of the Imperial Guards by the Emperor.
Although this was only an empty post, he could still mobilize many Imperial Guards.
On top of that, he had already broken through to the Ninth Heavenly Layer. Ling Xiao was nothing in his eyes.
If Ling Xiao were to appear in front of him right now, he was certain that he could easily take Ling Xiao's dog life.
"Commander, we've discovered traces of the Northern Desert Army ten li from the Imperial City. Their leader is Qin Huo!"
A messenger suddenly came to report.
"Good, just in time!"
Jia Lin's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Lord Commander really has god-like foresight! This one admires you! "
A Phoenix Cry soldier hastily said.
Although he was the commander of the Nine Gates, a rather high status, his cultivation was far inferior to Jia Lin's. Moreover, Jia Lin currently had a very high status in the Righteous Alliance. After Ji Ning was captured, Jia Lin's Jia Clan could be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand.
For him to be subservient to Jia Lin was extremely normal.
"Haha, Lord Commander, there's no need to be polite. The merit belongs to all of us, so how could I dare to covet it?"
Jia Lin chuckled. Unlike Ji Ning, he knew how to conduct himself. It was precisely because he had the support of the Divine Phoenix Empire's imperial household that his Jia Clan could cover the sky with one hand in the Righteous Alliance.
He was keenly aware of this point.
Yellow sand filled the air.
The army was advancing toward the Imperial City.
The faces of all the officers and soldiers were filled with indignation and determination.
They would rather die than do nothing.
Since there was no justice to speak of in this world, they would fight for it with their own hands.
If no one dared to spill their blood, no one would resist.
Justice and justice were not something that could be achieved by words alone. It was something that required blood and sacrifice!
All of them, including Qin Huo, were keenly aware that there was no chance of survival, but if they did not go, they would not be able to forgive themselves.
They would also be letting down their own conscience.
When Ji Ning and the others were taken away, they had asked Jia Lin if there was any justice in this world. Was there still any law?
At that time, Jia Lin only looked at them with a cold smile and said something that they would never forget.
"Justice? Justice? There was only strength in this world! Power! There's no such thing as justice, a bunch of idiots! "
That's right, they were idiots. Only at that moment did they realize that the thing they had been searching for was actually so elusive.
However, it wasn't that there was no justice in this world. It was just that there were people who were rotten from the roots.
The entire Divine Phoenix Imperial Court was rotten and depraved!
Nine li away from the Imperial City!
On top of the city wall, Jia Lin looked coldly into the distance. The black mass of the Northern Desert Army was marching towards them.
There were less than thirty thousand people, so there should still be some left to protect the civilians.
It was a bit of a pity, but it was enough. After killing these rebels, they would have a reason to kill the rest of the soldiers and civilians.
"Archers, prepare!"
Jia Lin waved his hand lightly. As he watched the other party gradually enter their shooting range, he realized that his heart was trembling uncontrollably.
After so many years, he could finally trample Ji Ning beneath his feet.
"Rumble!"
The rumbling sounds from the army were getting closer and closer.
Five li!
"General, they have stopped. They are just outside the shooting range of the archers and the array."
One li away, the army suddenly stopped. Jia Lin was stunned for a moment.
Jia Yun frowned as well.
What was going on?
Jia Lin wanted to see the situation in the distance clearly, but the army was too big. More than twenty thousand people was not a small number. He couldn't see what was happening in the army.
"Don't panic. Since they are here, they will definitely take action. Let's wait here."
Although Jia Lin was confused, he believed in his judgment. The other party couldn't have come to the Imperial City to watch the show. They must be here to save people.
Since that was the case, they just had to wait.
In the Northern Desert Army.
"Young Master, you are still alive. That's great!"
Qin Huo, Meng Tong, and Xin all knelt on the ground. They were so excited that their eyes were brimming with tears.
"Don't be too excited. The three of you can get up. How is the general?"
Ling Xiao asked.
"According to Vice Principal Feng Qingyan, there is a lot of resentment in the city. They think the general is a traitor who colluded with the enemy. He will probably be executed today!"
Qin Huo said excitedly, "We didn't want to attack so rashly, but if the general dies so carelessly, we will feel uneasy."
"I know. If it was me, I would do the same."
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Death by dismemberment? Sikong Zun, that old dog, is really ruthless! "
"Young Master, since you are here, the army will still be under your command. When the general was taken away, he said that as long as you come back, you will be the second city lord of the Northern Desert City."
Qin Huo said.
"Let's not talk about this first. Let everyone set up camp. Let's try peaceful means before resorting to force. Now that I am back, there is enough evidence to prove that General Ji Ning is innocent. So, it is not the time to use force."
Ling Xiao was not interested in the position of city lord. He rushed back to the Imperial City in such a hurry to save Ji Ning and the others.
Fortunately, he was not too late. He was very glad.
As long as Ji Ning and the others were not dead, he would definitely find a way to save them.
"Young Master, what else is there to say? Let's just kill our way in."
Meng Tong said loudly.
"Kill our way in? Do you know how many guards there are in the Imperial City? Do you know how many powerful defensive formations there are? Do you want to kill more than 20,000 people? "
Ling Xiao said snappily, "Not only do you have to be brave, you also have to use your brain. You should learn from Qin Huo."
"Young Master, tell us what to do. We will listen to you."
Qin Huo said.
"Tell everyone to rest here and make a fire to cook. We have traveled a long way. Even if we want to attack, we have to preserve our strength. We are at a disadvantage now."
Ling Xiao waved his hand and gave the last batch of Rejuvenation Pills and Spirit Reversal Pills to Qin Huo and the others. He said, "Distribute them. We have to prepare for the worst."
He knew very well that reason might not work. Even if he took Timur Mutu's head and captured Tomohiko Kuma alive, he might not be able to see the enemy or the Crown Prince, Feng Yinshan.
If he could not see them, everything would be meaningless.
Jia Lin and the others on the city gate tower would not let them enter the city alive.
He had to be prepared for a tough battle.
In addition, he had to wait for the arrival of Xie Li and the scorpion men.
Since Jia Lin did not pursue the 100,000 people, Xie Li would definitely come here.
With Xie Li, there would be one more Yin-Yang Realm expert.
If they really fought head-on, they might not lose.
The Northern Desert Army admired Ling Xiao as much as Ji Ning. They would carry out Ling Xiao's orders without question, regardless of whether they understood it or not.
After all, this young man led more than 30,000 people and successfully drove away more than a million soldiers from the Black Crow Empire.
Even General Ji Ning did not have such a glorious record.
He was too strong.
