Ye Wuchen sat there in melancholy for a long time. He got up silently, and his confused eyes suddenly became cold and sober. He opened the window, looked at the west, and murmured, "Everything should be over before the wedding."
There was less than a month before the wedding date set by Wang Wenshu, and what he was going to do was to make Dafeng Country fall within this month... Yes, not retreat, but fall. To be more specific, he was going to make the territory of Dafeng Country under Tenryū Province... The time was crazy. No one would believe that it would take more than 20 days. At the same time, he would not use the power of the Evil Sect or the Northern Emperor Sect of Nanhuangzong. Instead, he would let the Sky Dragon Union personally take over and eliminate the threat.
Everything could actually be very simple.
The door was pushed open. Little Mo was biting a piece of snowflake cake in her mouth and holding a delicate plate full of all kinds of snacks in her hand. When she met Ye Wuchen's eyes, she shouted happily, "Daddy, come and have breakfast..."
She opened her mouth and the snowflake cake in her mouth fell out. It landed on the plate in front of her with a thud. Little Mo smiled embarrassedly and walked to Ye Wuchen. She picked up the half-eaten cake and put it next to Ye Wuchen's lips. "Daddy, eat this."
The round pastry had been bitten into the shape of a crescent moon by Little Mo, and there were still glistening juices on the bite marks. Ye Wushen smiled and bit off a piece of the bite marks left by Little Mo, chewing lightly. Little Mo looked at him, and her eyes gradually became blurred. She had become more and more aware that she could not leave him, not even for a day. Because in the world, only he knew her, understood her, loved her... was willing to protect her with his life...
Ye Wuchen pinched Ningxue and Oculum's little noses and called softly, "Cher, Oculum, it's time to get up. If you don't get up, you will be hungry."
After a few gentle shakes, Oculum woke up and blinked her bright black eyes. Ningxue was like a little lazy cat, and after a short while, she slowly woke up.
"Brother, is it very late?" Ningxue rubbed her eyes and asked in a daze.
"Yes, it's not too late. Come, put on your clothes." Ye Wuchen supported Ningxue's body, picked up her snow-white arms, and gently put on her inner clothes. Ningxue's sleepy eyes were half-opened, and she lazily accepted her brother's pampering.
Oculum's gaze fell on the plate beside Bubbly Foam, and he swallowed his saliva. Seeing this, Ye Wuchen chuckled and said, "Are you hungry? Come, drink a glass of water first before eating."
Perhaps it was because her body had lost its strength, but Oculum, who used to not need to drink or eat at all, became very hungry. She ate three meals a day like ordinary people, and if she missed a meal, she would be dizzy with hunger. Except for not being able to speak, she was already like a normal girl. Her bloodthirsty nature had been completely hidden under Ye Wuchen's guidance and time.
Ye Wuchen put the glass of water in Oculum's palm. As soon as he moved his hand away, he heard a crisp "bang". The glass of water in Oculum's palm turned into countless glass fragments and scattered with the exploding water.
Oculum's mouth opened slightly, and she was at a loss in panic. Ye Wuchen immediately reached out and held Oculum's small hand. "How is it? Does it hurt?"
But immediately, Ye Wuchen was stunned, because Oculum's palm was as delicate as before, without any scratches or marks.
Oculum shook his head and raised his hand to look at his palm. Ye Wuchen sucked all the glass fragments that had scattered on the bed into his hand, and then threw them far away. Then, he used the power of water to drain all the spilled water. Then, he hugged Oculum, and his heart was filled with deep joy. He had accidentally crushed the teacup, but he hadn't been scratched at all. This was clearly Oculum's strength recovering unknowingly.

Tunnels were often used for sneak attacks in war. Although it was extremely difficult to use, once it was successful, it could be like a divine soldier descending from the sky, catching the enemy off guard. Tunnels of several kilometers were common, and tunnels of more than ten kilometers or even dozens of kilometers were not unheard of. What about tunnels of thousands of kilometers?
Ordinary people wouldn't even think about it, let alone believe it.
This was the west of Tenryū Province. It was hundreds of kilometers away from Tianfeng City, the capital of Gale Country, which was close to Tenryū Province. When a tunnel appeared in front of the Sky Dragon Army, and someone told them that this tunnel led to Tianfeng City … one could imagine how shocked they were.
What informed Ye Nu and the others was still a letter sent from an unknown source. The signature of the letter was still the Evil Sect. For several months, the information sent by the Evil Sect had never been wrong, which was the biggest reason why they could fight so smoothly. According to the location marked on the letter, Ye Nu and Ye Wei found the wide entrance to the tunnel. At the same time, what surprised them was that the tunnel was not only so long that they couldn't see the end of it, but it was also surprisingly flat … or rather, it couldn't have been dug by manpower. What was even more difficult for them to accept was that this tunnel was not far from their military camp, and they had never noticed the formation of this huge tunnel.
If this was really a tunnel that led directly to Tianfeng City, then they could become a surprise force, and they had full confidence that they could take down Tianfeng City in one fell swoop. But if it was fake, and it was a trap … if their army entered rashly, they would be in great danger of being buried in it.
Should they believe it or not?
On one hand, it was a temptation so great that they could hardly resist, and on the other hand, it was too great a risk. At the same time, even with the ability of the Evil Sect, did they really have the ability to dig such an earth-shattering tunnel?
Just when Ye Nu and the others were hesitating and were about to send people back and forth to test the tunnel, an urgent report came from thousands of miles away …
"Old General Ye, on the orders of the Empress, please open it as soon as possible."
A letter was presented in front of Ye Nu. Ye Nu frowned and took out the letter. After reading it carefully, his eyes wavered, and he said in a low voice, "The Empress has ordered us to immediately launch a night attack on Tianfeng City through the tunnel that the Evil Sect told us about. Strive to take down Tianfeng City in one night and capture the Great Wind Emperor, Feng Lie."
When Ye Wei heard this, his expression changed. "Father, it will take several days to rush here from Tenryū Province, even if we travel day and night. We just received news of the Evil Sect, so why did the Emperor send an order at such a timely time? Is there something strange about this … "
"This letter is indeed written by the Emperor himself, and it is also sealed with the Imperial Jade Seal of Tenryū Province. If you're talking about something strange … "Ye Nu paused, then lowered his voice and said," I'm starting to understand why the Flying Phoenix Empress suddenly ascended to the throne, and why the Empress would make such a solemn vow at that time … "
Ye Wei was startled and said, "You mean …"
Indeed, if it was because of the support and promotion of the Evil Sect, then everything was too easy to explain. With the strength that they had overwhelmed Nanhuangzong and the Northern Emperor Sect, there was no better way to accomplish all of this. At the same time, it also explained why the Evil Sect had been secretly helping them. However, what was the purpose of the Evil Sect and what exactly did they want?
Was this another plot against a tiger, or was there something else they didn't know …
Ye Nu raised his hand and interrupted him. "Let's not talk about this for the time being. We just need to remember what we should do. Immediately order the whole army to reorganize and move in the afternoon. Although it is shocking, this so-called tunnel to Tianfeng City should be real. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Tenryū Province! "
Ye Wei nodded and quickly moved away. In the face of Dafeng Country, Tenryū Province could only defend and resist passively. It was not that they didn't want to get rid of this huge disaster, but they didn't have enough strength. If this tunnel was real, then the day that they never dared to think about might come soon, and the history of Tianchen Continent would be rewritten.
At this moment, it was no longer important what amazing method the Evil Sect had used to create this tunnel.
After noon, Ye Nu left more than half of the army to guard and personally led 300,000 soldiers with Ye Wei, Zhuge Wuyi, and Zhuge Xiaoyu, who insisted on going with them, into the tunnel with countless torches.
The invasion of Dafeng Country would naturally not affect the peace of the city. No one would have thought that an unprecedented major crisis was approaching the peaceful Tianfeng City, and it was getting closer and closer …
This tunnel did indeed lead to Tianfeng City, and it was separated into five exits, pointing to the east, west, south, and center of the city. This tunnel was definitely not dug by the people of the Evil Sect. Even if they had the ability, who knew how long it would take them to dig it, and it was even more impossible to dig it without being noticed. The person who created this tunnel was little Black Tortoise, who had the strongest Divine Power of Earth in Ye Wuchen's hands. Little Black Tortoise didn't move very fast, and it took almost a night to dig this tunnel. Underground, the speed at which it consumed energy couldn't keep up with the speed at which it recovered. After the tunnel was dug, little Black Tortoise didn't seem tired at all. This tunnel became another great gift that Ye Wuchen gave to Dafeng Country.
Because of little Black Tortoise's arrival, Ye Wuchen's original plan changed greatly. It became easier, and the risk factor was reduced to the lowest. The only thing that didn't change was the outcome that he had set.
The sun slowly set in the west, and night fell quietly. When it was late at night, all the lights in the houses were extinguished, and everything was quiet. The night patrol team also consciously lightened their footsteps. A dark cloud floated by, covering half of the moon, and slowly drifted away, releasing the full moon in the sky, bright and flawless. The night breeze was soothing, and it carried the scent of spring.
The night grew darker, and when the moon reached the middle of the sky, it happened to be the third watch. In an abandoned corner of the city, the turf that was already covered in grass was suddenly lifted slightly, and a pair of eyes peeked out, looking around for a while. Then, the grass was lifted one after another, and a hole about ten meters long appeared on the ground. Troops of heavily armored soldiers with swords and spears in their hands quickly and orderly surged out of it. They didn't immediately launch a surprise attack, but instead quietly lined up in an orderly manner.
It wasn't just one location, but a large number of soldiers quickly surged out from the east, west, north, and south of Tianfeng City. These four locations were very cleverly chosen. They were all abandoned places that people rarely passed by, and the city guards who patrolled at night would not pass by those places. In the center of Tianfeng City, in the great hall that worshipped the founding emperor of Dafeng Country, the thick marble floor was also lifted, and a large group of soldiers surged out. The soldiers who were guarding outside heard the commotion and woke up from their drowsiness. They hurriedly rushed in to check, but as soon as the door was opened, they were killed by a flurry of swords and spears.
