A small boat swayed from the river, a young and handsome man sat on the heavily decayed deck, and behind him was an old man paddling the boat. The small boat slowly moved, heading straight for the Empire's encampment on the west bank. This was the Mountain Forest Town's ferry, the place with the most rapid flow of the Daojiang tributary in the entire Cangnan Province, and Feng Jixing's fifty thousand elite soldiers of the First Legion were stationed on the opposite side.
"Who are you? Stop or else we'll shoot!"
A group of archers and shield soldiers rushed out from the forest. Each of them had the Empire's purple flower emblem on their shoulders.
The old man immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Don't shoot, I'm a human, I'm a human, don't shoot, I'm a citizen of the Empire!"
In the crowd, a centurion unsheathed his sword and stepped forward, saying, "You've come from River East. Who are you?"
At this time, the handsome young man sitting at the bow slowly stood up and took off his bamboo hat, revealing a handsome face. The face was very perfect, as if it was created by the heaven and earth. However, under his thick eyebrows was a pair of light purple eyes that looked a bit flirtatious. He smiled and cupped his fist: "First Legion's Marshal QianFeng wants to see Her Highness Qin Yin. I wonder if I have the chance to meet Her Highness?"
The centurion was stunned: "Divine Marshal?! You … you are a demon? "
"You can say that. In your human's mouth, I am indeed a demon." QianFeng's purple eyes looked at the centurion and said: "This time, I am under the order of His Highness the Third Prince of the Celestial Race. Please inform Her Highness."
"Hmph!"
The centurion raised his eyebrows: "Let's go ashore. Men, tie him up for me!"
"Yes!"
A group of people rushed forward and quickly tied up QianFeng. As for the old man who was paddling the boat, he was just an ordinary human so they didn't make things difficult for him.
After many days of construction, the 1st Legion's encampment had taken shape. The city walls were made of white rocks, and the sounds of training could be heard from within the city. QianFeng was pushed into the city by the crowd, but there was no fear in his eyes. Instead, he smiled slightly, as if he was mocking the human army's combat power.
In the central tent, Qin Yin sat on the commander's seat while Feng Jixing, Zhang Wei, Luo Yu, and the others stood on both sides, reporting the battle situation respectfully.
Right at this moment, a messenger entered the tent, cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Your Highness, General Feng. There is a person outside who claims to be the commander of the first demon army, called QianFeng, asking for an audience!"
"QianFeng?" Qin Yin frowned, "Who is he?"
Feng Jixing said, "Your Highness, the demon race is divided into two armies, the First Army and the Second Army. The Lei Chong that Yu mentioned before should be the commander of the Second Army. As for the person outside, I don't know if he is real or not. Should we summon him?"
"Mn." Qin Yin nodded.
Feng Jixing shot a glance at Zhang Wei, who immediately waved his hand, saying, "Archers, axemen, prepare yourselves. Archers, switch to white diamond arrows and listen to my command!"
"Yes, sir!"
At least a hundred archers and axemen immediately hid on both sides of the tent. A few minutes later, a group of imperial soldiers pushed QianFeng into the central tent.
He was dressed in green, but there was an unconcealable arrogance between his brows. After entering the tent, he suddenly moved his hands behind his back like butterflies. Wisps of black energy enshrouded him, and the ropes came off in the blink of an eye.
"Protect His Highness!"
Feng Jixing immediately stood up, his Windcutter already halfway out of its sheath.
QianFeng smiled, saying, "General Feng Jixing, there is no need to be nervous. QianFeng will not harm His Highness!"
With that, he looked at Qin Yin who was sitting on the marshal's seat, only to see this imperial princess dressed in a dark blue military uniform, elegant and dignified. Her carved face had a trace of anger as she looked at him. Her entire person seemed to be made of jade, graceful and graceful. In an instant, QianFeng couldn't help but bow deeply, saying, "God Race Marshal QianFeng greets Your Highness Qin Yin!"
Qin Yin said indifferently, "QianFeng, what are you doing in the imperial camp?"
"Seeking peace." QianFeng smiled.
Feng Jixing couldn't help but laugh, "Seeking peace? The demon race has trampled on my Empire's territory, and you actually come here to ask for peace? "
"Yes, it's seeking peace."
QianFeng's expression was calm as he looked respectfully at Qin Yin, saying, "Your Highness, this time, the Third Prince personally led the God Race's army to recapture the Central Plains. Along the way, they have captured dozens of cities in Tong Tian Province, Ling Dong Province, and Cangnan Province. They are unstoppable. However, His Highness said that as long as the Empire hands over one person, His Highness will use Rice River as the boundary and coexist peacefully with the Empire."
"Rice River as the boundary?" Qin Yin frowned, she didn't show any anger, "What do you demons think our Empire is? Do you think we can stop fighting just because you say so?"
Feng Jixing sneered and said, "QianFeng, tell me first, who do you want from the Empire?"
"Lin — Mu — Yu!" QianFeng said word by word.
Zhang Wei and Luo Yu were startled at the same time, "Commander Yu?"
Qin Yin was also surprised, this had touched the deepest part of her heart. Her eyes flashed with killing intent as she asked, "QianFeng, what do you want Lin Muyu to do?"
QianFeng bowed with a smile and said politely, "Your Highness, QianFeng has an older brother called Cai Yun. A few years ago, he was a pioneer who came to the human world in search of the nine holy weapons. However, he was killed by the humans in the end. I investigated and finally found out that he died in the hands of a man called Lin Muyu. And this Lin Muyu is now a commander of the Empire's army. So … if you hand over Lin Muyu to ease the hatred in my heart, QianFeng has already persuaded His Highness to delay the attack."
"Is that so?" Qin Yin looked at him indifferently and said, "It seems that Marshal QianFeng has made a mistake."
Feng Jixing laughed and pressed his hand on the hilt of the Windcutter Saber. He said, "I'm guessing that the Marshal wants Commander Yu not only because he killed your brother, but also because Commander Yu's intelligence and strength make you tremble with fear, right?"
QianFeng was surprised and smiled, "General Feng is a straightforward man. Indeed, in the battle of Winter Frost City, Lin Muyu was able to escape from Marshal Lei Chong's hammer and even wounded him. This ability is enough to make us restless. As long as Lin Muyu is alive, the Celestial Race will never be at peace. I, QianFeng, will not be at peace either. So, Your Highness, please decide. It's up to you whether you want to hand over Commander Yu or not."
Qin Yin said quietly, "Marshal QianFeng thinks too much. Commander Yu is Qin Yin's sworn brother and is also Qin Yin's true love. I would rather risk the destruction of the world to fight against the Demon Race than betray the one I love."
"I see …" QianFeng looked up at Qin Yin with a hint of jealousy in his eyes. He cupped his fists and said, "In that case, QianFeng will have to trouble you."
At the side, Zhang Wei had already drawn his sword, and he chuckled, "Qian Feng, you brat, you're clearly courting death by coming to the 1st Legion's campsite alone. How can I, Zhang Wei, not fulfill your wish!? Archers! "
Immediately, a group of archers rushed into the central tent amidst the rustling sounds. Their white diamond arrowheads were all aimed at Qian Feng. Feng Jixing also pulled out his Windcutter, the Purple Electric Flame Wolf martial soul circling around his body. What was even more frightening was that Feng Jixing's body was surrounded by a whirlwind of raging flames. It was the symbol of the First Heaven of the Saint realm — Raging Whirlwind Dou Qi!
Feng Jixing had stepped into the Saint realm!
Facing such a strong enemy, QianFeng still stood there calmly, with a trace of adoration in his eyes as he looked at Qin Yin, cupped his fists and said, "Your Highness Qin Yin, QianFeng admires Your Highness's peerless beauty. If we were not enemies, how good would it be, QianFeng could let go of everything to pursue you. If Your Highness could accompany me, it would be a long-cherished wish of mine!"
Qin Yin's mouth curved into a smile, "Marshal QianFeng, you are thinking too much. What you should be thinking now is how to face the current situation. Since you dared to come here alone, you should have thought of this result, right?"
"Heh … …" QianFeng laughed and said, "Your Highness, before I left, QianFeng had ordered my subordinates, if I don't return within two hours, they will immediately cross the river and attack. I have two hundred thousand soldiers, just the boulders alone is enough to fill up the river. At that time, with your Highness's army, can you stop the Divine Race's army?"
Qin Yin was startled.
Feng Jixing frowned at the side and said, "Your Highness, when two armies cross swords, envoys are not to be killed. Moreover, Qian Feng is the demon race's marshal. Let's just let him go and have a fair battle. Feng Jixing also wants to meet this demon race marshal!"
QianFeng laughed, "As expected of the Flaming Wolf Feng Jixing, this kind of courage is not something an ordinary human can have, admirable!"
Qin Yin nodded and said, "Men, send Marshal QianFeng back to River East."
"Yes!"
Zhang Wei stepped out of the ranks and personally led Qian Feng out of the central tent.
As soon as QianFeng left, Qin Yin frowned and said, "General Feng, you should be able to see that this QianFeng is both brave and intelligent. The commander of the battle at Winter Frost City must be him. If we don't kill him today, it is the same as letting the tiger return to the mountain!"
Feng Jixing nodded his head and said, "I know … Your Highness, although Qian Feng said that using stones to fill up Rice River was an alarmist, but our preparations are not sufficient. The Black Beech Oil from Five Valley City and Divine Shadow City will only arrive in another six hours or so. We need this period of time, so … Your Highness, please be patient."
"Ah, I understand. When does General Feng think the Demons will attack?"
"Only today, it won't be long. They are also preparing for this war."
"Brother Yu, then … …"
"Haha, don't worry!" Feng Jixing grinned and said, "Yu is smarter than anyone. Moreover, the elite troops of Longdan Army Camp and Holy Temple Camp are all in his hands. If the Demons cross the river and attack by force, his 4th Corps is the most stable. Your Highness, you should worry more about your Aunt Lian, Tang Lu, and Tang Tian's positions!"
"Oh … …"
Qin Yin blushed and sat there in a daze. She didn't know what to do. If she could, she really wanted to fly to the 4th Corps' position a hundred miles away. Unfortunately, she was the Empress and had to stay in the 1st Corps to oversee the whole army. Moreover, Feng Jixing also needed her to intimidate the 30,000 troops of Muyu City. After all, they were not under Feng Jixing's direct command.
