"Hmph." Yu Honghai snorted coldly. Xiao Hua sensed a light falling around him. Immediately, a dozen people exclaimed. Then, the entire tent fell silent.
"So Lord Xiao is a guest. Are you all going to give me face like this?" Yu Honghai said coldly. "Fortunately, Lord Xiao is a general of my Mizuchō Team. If it was any other team, wouldn't my face be thrown out of the world?"
No one dared to answer.
Yu Honghai paused for a moment, then said: "Generals who have seen Xiao Zhenren's achievements, raise your hand!"
"Whoosh." Most of the generals raised their hands.
"Mm, let it go. Wang Yibai." Yu Honghai pointed at a general and said, "Tell me why Vice Chang Qiong was promoted to Vice Chang Qiong."
"Lord." A yellow-faced man opposite Xiao Hua took half a step forward and said respectfully, "At that time, Vice Chang Qiong was Vice Yue Xiao. He was ordered by Lord Si Nan Kong to go to the Immortal World …"
Finally, he said: "Because Xiao Zhenren killed the Demon Alliance's enemy chief, killed and captured hundreds of millions of demon soldiers, saved billions of immortals in Star Pagoda City, and became famous in the Immortal World for 18 days. Therefore, the Military Pivot Palace issued a reward order to promote Vice Chang Qiong."
Yu Honghai nodded and said: "Not bad, you did your homework well."
Wang Yibai left. Yu Honghai continued: "Since that's the case, you should know why I invited Vice Chang Qiong to the Immortal World, right?"
"Daren." A square-faced general beside Xiao Hua stepped out and bowed. "This general did not know that Daren was not in the barracks during this period of time. It turns out that you went to invite Daren Xiao. If this general knew, he would definitely have stopped you."
"Yuan Kuang." Yu Honghai frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
"According to what you think," Yuan Kuang replied, "Lord Xiao killed the enemy chief Xi Yu's clone, so he must have a way to kill Xi Yu. Even if Lord Xiao doesn't, Xi Yu said clearly that as long as Lord Xiao comes to fight, he will retreat regardless of the outcome! Then let this general ask Lord Yu, if Xi Yu captured Lord Xiao and did not retreat, continuing to advance, what would Lord Yu do? "
"Did I ask you that?" Yu Honghai was a bit angry.
"Daren," Yuan Xi said anxiously, "In this general's opinion, the victory or defeat of the battle in Jie Chong does not depend on one team or one general. We cannot place our hopes of killing the enemy's chieftain on Vice Chang Qiong, nor can we place our hopes of retreating on the enemy's chieftain's promise. The true strength lies in our troops and ourselves."
"Good!" Xiao Hua couldn't help but praise in his heart.
"Yuan Xi!" Yu Honghai slapped the table and growled, "This old man is asking you, do you know what this old man's intentions are? Why are you saying so much? "
"Yes." Yuan Xi gritted his teeth and lowered his head. "This general knows that Milord personally went to invite Vice Chang Qiong because you wanted to rely on his experience in fighting against Xi Yu's Xiyu to invite him to cooperate with my squad to save Fengming!"
"Phew." Yu Honghai let out a long breath and said, "So you understand!"
"Yes," Yuan Xi said softly, "This general understands, but there are still some things that this general does not understand. Can I ask Vice Chang Qiong to clear up my doubts?"
"Of course!" Yu Honghai said, "Vice Chang Qiong is now under my command, and also your comrade. Feel free to ask."
"Lord Yuan." Xiao Hua smiled and said, "What does Milord not understand?"
Yuan Xi glanced at Xiao Hua and asked word by word, "What is the strength of Xi Yu's Xiyu clone?"
"It should be the beginning of the Nine Palaces," Xiao Hua replied.
"Buzz ~" There was noise in the military tent again.
Yuan Xi was also a bit surprised. He looked at Xiao Hua and said with a serious expression, "Lord Xiao should be Vice Yue Xiao at that time. In terms of realm, you should be at most a Gold Immortal, right?"
"Yes," Xiao Hua replied. "At that time, this general was at the high-level of the Gold Immortal stage. I was on the verge of reaching the high-level!"
Yuan Xi gave him a thumbs up and said, "Lord Xiao is amazing. How long has it been, and you have already reached the high-level of the Gold Immortal stage?"
"I wouldn't dare." Xiao Hua said neither arrogantly nor humbly, "I received a reward and went to the Human Realm of Six Desires to train. That was how I had the chance to break through the bottleneck."
"Buzz ~" There was a buzzing sound in the military tent again, and Xiao Hua could hear the noise. "Damn, the Human Realm of Six Desires? No wonder Xiao Zhenren could improve so quickly. That is not a place that an ordinary Senjō can go …"
"Yes." Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Xiao. However, I am a bit confused. Xi Yu's Xiyu clone is already at the beginning of the Nine Palaces. Do you know how strong his main body is?"
"Yes, Lord Yuan," Xiao Hua replied. "This general does not know."
"Then do you know how many demon soldiers Xi Yu has under his command?"
Xiao Hua continued to shake his head.
Yuan Xi sneered and said, "Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Lord Xiao, if you don't know anything, how can you fight Xi Yu?"
Xiao Hua was a little angry. He knew that Yuan Xi was the representative of some of the generals under Yu Honghai's command. They did not dare to speak out against Yu Honghai, so they vented some of their complaints on him. Therefore, he said coldly, "Who is willing to fight Xi Yu? Before Xiao came out of the Human Realm of Six Desires, Lord Yu was already waiting outside. While Xiao was still confused, he was brought to the Tai Chi Obscuring Sky! "
"Lord Yuan, you think that Xiao is here to embarrass you, but does Lord Yuan know how nervous Xiao is?"
"Lord Yuan, you can take a look at the video of the battle of the Star Pagoda. Xiao was definitely not a match for Xi Yu's clone. Xiao won because Xi Yu had already fought someone and was injured. Xiao won by a narrow margin because Xiao risked his life and entered the star controlled by Xi Yu. He won at the cost of exploding Xiao's immortal body!"
"When Xiao heard that Lord Feng Mingfeng had been captured, he knew that the old man was General Chang Qiong. He also saw Lord Xiao personally go to find Xiao. Xiao knew that it was not because Xiao was powerful, but because Lord Feng Mingfeng was important. When Xiao met Lord Yu, he had already made a decision. Xiao could lose, and Xiao could not lead the army, but he must get Lord Feng back. Exchanging a high-level Golden Immortal like Xiao for a mid-level Nine Palaces cultivator, Xiao felt that it was worth it!"
"Lord Yuan," Xiao Hua said indifferently. "Do you understand?"
"Who doesn't know how to talk!" Yuan Xi sneered and said, "I'd like to see how you're going to trade!"
"How dare you!" Yu Honghai shouted. "Yuan Xi, I invited Deputy Chang Qiong to fight Xi Yu. How can I trade him for Feng Ming?"
"Lord," Yuan Xi said hurriedly. "From Lord Chang Qiong's resume, he has never been in command of Chang Qiong's army, nor has he commanded Chang Qiong in a large-scale battle. Moreover, his subordinates are all fighting in the Void Yue Heng Sky. They are not familiar with the Tai Chi Veil Sky at all. How can he fight Xi Yu?"
"That's right," said Yu Honghai. "This is also a problem that this old man neglected. However, Yuan Changqiong's words have reminded this old man. Yuan Changqiong, if this old man remembers correctly, the eighteen Yue Howls under your command have around five hundred billion immortal soldiers, right?"
"Yes, yes." Yuan Xi suddenly had a bad feeling. However, he looked at Xiao Hua and replied, "Lord, you remember correctly."
"Of your 500 billion immortal soldiers, the 18 Yue Xiao will now be under Deputy Chang Qiong's command!"
"Buzz." The entire tent rang out again.
"Lord," Yuan Xi was shocked and said hurriedly, "Deputy Chang Qiong came from afar. He doesn't understand my subordinates at all. How can I let him command them?"
"It's very simple," Yu Honghai said. "You are to assist Deputy Chang Qiong!"
"This!" Yuan Xi was at a loss for words. He was extremely embarrassed.
"Go." Yu Honghai threw down an arrow of command and said, "Take my arrow of command. Pass down my order. Yuan Xi's subordinates are to immediately assemble. Deputy Chang Qiong will take over."
"Lord," Xiao Hua hurriedly stood up and said. "Aren't you being a little arbitrary? This general was just casually saying … "
"There is no joking in the military!" Yu Honghai said indifferently. "Yuan Xi, you can go!"
"Yes, Lord." Yuan Xi glared fiercely at Xiao Hua. He picked up the arrow of command and left the tent.
"Deputy Chang Qiong." Yu Honghai looked at Xiao Hua and said, "Although Chang Qiong's squad isn't full, it's more or less complete. It can be considered one of the more complete squads under this old man's command. From here on out to Jichong, this old man intends to lead three squads of Chang Qiong. The one with the most immortal soldiers … will be under your command. Don't say that this old man exchanged you for Feng Ming. That's just a wild guess!"
"Lord," Xiao Huayu said anxiously. "This general and Chang Qiong have a dispute of words. If you give his squad to this general in such a hurry, how can this general lead them?"
"Lord Xiao," Wang Yibai said with a smile. "You are the fastest rising general in my Mending the Heavens Squad, and the pride of my Mizuchō Team. If you can't lead them, who can?"
Xiao Hua looked at Wang Yibai, then at Yuan Xi, who had just left the tent. He finally understood. These two generals were singing the same tune. They had set a decent-sized trap for him.
However, Xiao Hua didn't care. He originally wanted to ask Yu Honghai for immortal soldiers. It would be best if he asked for the immortal soldiers that the squad had promised him. Since Yu Honghai was willing to give him 500 billion immortal soldiers to lead, he was happy to go with the flow.
The problem was, looking at Wang Yibai's appearance, it was clear that he wanted to watch the show!
The problem was, Xiao Hua really hadn't led 500 billion immortal soldiers before!
Leading 20 Bu Yaos and 18 Yue Xiaos … should be completely different, right?
Suddenly, Xiao Huayu understood. He looked up at Yu Honghai. Yu Honghai's face was expressionless. He just sat there like a statue.
"Could this be Yu Honghai's strategy of retreating in order to advance?" Xiao Hua thought to himself. "Although Yuan Xi didn't put it nicely, it's actually the same as what Qian Yuhan said. Yu Honghai might really be thinking about exchanging Xiao for Fengming! Also, he clearly knows that Xiao doesn't have any experience leading 18 Yue Xiaos, but he still gave Yuan Xi's battle team to Xiao. He's probably waiting for Xiao to decline. This way, he can also give an explanation to Lord Si Nankong. As for Shooting King … "
At the thought of Shooting King, Xiao Hua's heart thumped and he broke out in a cold sweat. If Fang Xing had something to do with Shooting King Wang Changxing, then Yu Honghai was Changxing's backup plan. He had probably seen the battle report and knew that Xi Yu wanted Xiao Hua, which was why he had sent the arrow of command. If that wasn't the case, why would Yu Honghai look for him? Wouldn't that be slapping his own face?
Xiao Hua thought for a moment, then bowed. "In that case, this general thanks Your Excellency."
