Divine Brilliance

Chapter 840: When Troops Meet At A Narrow Path

At this moment, the atmosphere within the Celestial Hall was extremely suffocating.

Everyone was silent and no one mentioned what was said previously.

Hong Jiuchen looked really excited, a bright glow in his eyes. Tanjing smiled but didn’t speak, his eyes filled with joy. Fuyue and the others were all drinking and had dark and sunken expressions.

Although it was a rare celestial brew, all of them drank in lots, not caring about the taste at all.

Only Zong Shou was calm, smiling as he sat below, drinking at his own pace.

They actually sat like that for one full day with no one speaking a single word.

The dancers below had already changed three different groups.

At this moment, the minds of the people within the hall weren’t focused on this at all.

Zong Shou was silently calculating the time. A war of millions definitely wasn’t easy and would often take days and months before an outcome was reached.

However, this time Hong Jiuchen was going all out and had Tanjing’s full support.

As for the others, no matter whether or not they were willing, it seemed like they had to help out.

The battle for Yuanlian World was about to end, this war would naturally be one where both sides weren’t worried about the losses.

One side was struggling in despair while the other was trying to win right away.

This was why Zong Shou felt that, at most within 2-3 days, this battle would come to an end.

The thing that would decide the outcome would often appear at this time.

His lips curled. Zong Shou was a little curious. He really didn’t know what methods Zhuang Yu would use to counter the enemy to win?

Suddenly, a smashing sound spread out in the hall.

Zong Shou was jolted to his senses, looking out in shock, only to see that had Fuyue suddenly thrown the wine cup in his hand down the hall.

Wine scattered, shocking the dancers and they all stopped.

Their faces were ashen white as they looked upward in fear.

Fuyue scoffed coldly, “Scram! This wine is tasteless and the dances are extremely bad. Dancing and singing is just so distracting. What a mess, it really sends one’s mind into chaos!”

Hong Jiuchen’s brow rose up, rage appearing in his eyes. He then waved his sleeves to tell those girls to leave.

“Brother Fuyue is joking. It isn’t that my wine is bad or that my servants’ dancing and singing is bad, but that you are annoyed right?”

He scoffed coldly, “If you are unhappy, you can fight with me once more. Only if that happens, our agreement from before will be torn up. If you win, I naturally have nothing to say, but if you lose then Jijue Saint Emperor won’t forgive you...”

Fuyue’s expression changed and he held his breath. He scoffed but didn’t say any words to retort.

He had no place to vent the frustration and anger in his chest. At this time, he looked at Zong Shou who was calmly and casually drinking, his tone turned dark and sinister, “To think Ruler can actually sit there now? The few of us actually have some compensation when we back out of Yuanlian World, we can at least get a small-sized world. As for you, a few days later you will lose everything. You will back out of Yuanlian World with nothing to your name. Even I feel sad for you. If I were you, I would even be so furious that I would think about killing everyone...”

Zong Shou was speechless. The two of them were angry with one another, so how did it suddenly involve him?

Hong Jiuchen’s expression didn’t change at all when he heard this. The thin old man on the side stared over at Zong Shou with snake-like eyes.

His eyes were filled with a mocking intent. An intent suppressed over as a warning to him.

Tanjing laughed, “Ruler is really magnanimous, so how would he be like you? Moreover, Brother Zong also has his own problems! Cultivator Fuyue, if you are trying to instigate Ruler to attack, then you probably won’t get your wish! Brother Zong, am I right?”

His tone wasn’t as ashamed as before as he raised his wine cup toward Zong Shou.

“Brother Shou is really magnanimous, making me feel impressed. Although you lost, it is only because you didn’t fight back. How unfortunate that we weren’t able to work together this time. If we have a chance, I will definitely join hands...” action

Zong Shou smiled and shook his head, not caring about the matter at all. He totally ignored Tanjing.

Although his temper was good, he wasn’t willing to be courteous to such a person.

Tanjing also didn’t feel embarrassed at all. After smiling, he drank all the wine in the cup.

In the next moment, his eyes lit up, “It seems like there is some progress!”

He grabbed out into the void and captured a red flying bird.

When it entered Tanjing’s hand, its body suddenly burst apart, turning into 10 streaks of Spiritual Light, dancing about in front of him and forming into several talismans.

Outsiders didn’t understand, neither did Zong Shou. However, this was a unique communication method of the Tianfang Guild that no one could stop.

Common People’s Path also had similar methods.

As expected, moments later he waved his sleeves and those talismans dissipated, smiling, “What a good Guixuan! Brother Hong’s general is so amazing. Using just a day to strike Linux City, breaking down the defense line. Now he is entering. Probably not long later, he will be able to cut into the core area from here...”

He seemed to feel that his words were a little inappropriate. He smiled at Zong Shou apologetically, “My apologies Country Ruler, my words were a little rude, please forgive me!”

Zong Shou didn’t bother, this time he didn’t do so on purpose. Instead, he was in deep thought. Linxu City?

Why would it be that place? How would Zhuang Yu be so careless?

Speaking of which, the name was extremely familiar and not long ago, he had probably paid attention to it.

Numerous thoughts entered his mind. He also flipped out all the geographical spots and troop arrangements near the city.

Nearby to it were still mountain ranges. However, Zhuang Yu didn’t really lay out many troops here.

It was both due to a lack of troops and also the geography. Linxu City was at the opening of the mountain, a place hard to attack but easy to defend.

Without many troops, he would still be able to defend it.

What was surprising was that Zhuang Yu’s strongest guards army was arranged here.

He was slightly distracted for a moment, but he comprehended what was going on.

So that was the case. What an amazing Zhuang Yu, he really didn’t let him down...

When Hong Jiuchen heard this, there wasn’t much joy on his face, instead, he frowned.

“However, no news spread back from my side!”

Tanjing smiled and shook his head, “It is probably your General being too careful. Although we haven’t met before, I know his personality. He is really calm and cold. Before the outcome is settled, he wouldn’t report to Brother Hong.”

“That is true!”

Hong Jiuchen smiled, “He is indeed like that! He is probably the only one in Yuanlian World who can compete with Zhuang Yu! What a waste, Zhuang Yu is not bad too.”

He said to Zong Shou, “Brother Zong really knows how to use talents. This time you lost because your troops are too weak. Even a good chef can’t cook with bad ingredients! The outcome is certain but I am able to make friends with Brother Zong. In the future, Brother Zong’s Great Gan Celestial Dynasty and the rest of you can obtain 5% of Yuanlian World products!”

Fuyue scoffed. 5%? Was he treating them like beggars?

Zong Shou was still distracted and didn’t react like he had suffered a huge blow. He shook his head, not bothered replying, directly waving his sleeves and was about to leave.

Since the matter was settled, there was no point in staying. He was also too lazy to look at the gleeful expressions of the two of them.

Just at this moment, a laugh spread out from the side.

Looking out, they saw that it was Zong Shou. They were shocked. Did this fellow go crazy from all the reluctance from the defeat?

Not only him, even Hong Jiuchen and Tanjing, as well as Mufang and Chahou Hu who were silent all the while, all of them looked over.

They were all filled with questions, their expressions were really weird.

Zong Shou really couldn’t be bothered. A purple gold talisman broke through the heavy world barrier and into the Yuanlian World.

Since Zhuang Yu didn’t disappoint him, then he wouldn’t let him down either.

※※※※

At the same time, within Yuanlian World, beside a narrow mountain path.

Zhuang Yu stabbed his sword into the ground, his body standing straight up like a mountain.

At this moment, there were 20,000 infantry troops beside him.

They all wore white, looking really majestic and muscular, holding large swords and wide blades.

There was no noise and no extra movement, all of them were like statues.

Although there were just 20,000 of them, they gave off a really majestic aura.

He Daoren wore a purple gold robe and stood beside him.

His eyes were focused in front and he was definitely nervous. If this place was broken, then the Great Xuan Country under him would be chiseled through.

At that time, the entire defensive line would be crushed.

“Brother He doesn’t seem to be worried?”

“Why would I be? Before I came I was indeed terrified, but since I came here half a day ago I stopped worrying.”

He Daoren laughed. He turned around, only to see Zhuang Yu opening his eyes, his gaze was bright like lightning.

“Since Brother Zhuang predicted it, then you should have a method to solve it right? You definitely expected Linxu City to be broken into.”

“I didn’t expect it to be broken so quickly! Guixuan’s skills are indeed not bad! Unfortunately, we were unable to retreat the brothers within...”

Zhuang Yu sighed, saying sadly and regretfully, “Brother He, do you know why I chose this place to be where the final battle is to be held?”

“Final battle?”

He Daoren’s eyes shone. Based on what he knew, Zhuang Yu laid out only a small number of troops around this place.

Did this person have other plans?

“I don’t know!”

He really had no idea as he shook his head, “I only know that the geography around is really complicated and not good for a huge army. It is also not suitable for cavalry to charge. If one is not careful, the backline will be blocked and there might be a risk of the whole army falling!”

“Backline? What troops do I have to block their backline? Guixuan is always really careful and there wouldn’t be such a chance. I chose this place because I don’t have many men!”

Zhuang Yu scoffed in a self-mocking manner, his gaze turned as sharp as a knife, “Which was why I only have a chance of winning at this place. When troops meet at a narrow road, the courageous will win!”
