Chapter 391: Retreat to Advance!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ye Chen’s gaze swept across that delicate face. His Second Senior Sister, Murong Qingxue, frowned slightly. Although this appearance did not fit her temperament, it was quite moving.

At this moment, Ye Chen realized that a warm and tender arm was wrapped around his waist. Moreover, his head seemed to be pressing against something. Most importantly, two balls of softness were tightly compressed on his back…

Murong Qingxue’s pretty face was slightly red. She was being carried by her junior brother. Although they were already an old couple, there was still Seventh Junior Sister, Zhao Xiyao, here, so Murong Qingxue was still a little shy.

Zhao Xiyao also felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, so she hugged Ye Chen.

Ye Chen hugged Murong Qingxue from behind.

When Ye Chen’s arm was wrapped around her soft waist, Murong Qingxue’s body suddenly stiffened.

In a daze, Ye Chen tilted his head, and a soft feeling came from his lips.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s yin-yang great art was activated.

Waves of True Qi were continuously injected into the three people’s bodies.

The three people cultivated together, and waves of Aura continuously surged into their bodies,

Zhao Xiyao’s jade-like arms were around Ye Chen’s waist, and her jade-like cheeks were constantly rubbing against his chest.

It had to be said that the power of this cultivation technique was formidable. Under this cultivation technique, the cultivation levels of the three of them were increasing.

…

Changlin Pass.

This was the last border pass at the southeast border of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. After passing this pass, they would arrive at the borders of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.

A green-robed general was riding on a horse, and his gaze was fixed on Changlin Pass.

He was the divine king of Nanxuan Kingdom’s army, Siqi!

The current Changlin Pass was devoid of people, old, weak, women, and children. It was an empty city!

All the assets that should have been brought along had been taken away, and an empty city stood silently within the city.

“What’s going on?” The green-robed general asked.

At this moment, a deputy general spoke from the side, “General Wang, it seems that the Eastern Imperial Kingdom is afraid of your divine might and has fled in a hurry!”

“That’s right, the city is now empty and there isn’t a single person in it. I think the Eastern Imperial Kingdom is afraid of our Nanxuan Kingdom,” another deputy general said.

Wang Siqi sat on his horse and said indifferently, “How can the little Eastern Imperial Kingdom offend the divine might of our great Qi?”

“The Eastern Imperial Kingdom is currently engaged in internal strife. I heard that Wu Yue has already returned to the imperial capital. If Wu Yue were here, they would still be able to fight against me. “Now that I’ve heard that the Eastern Imperial Kingdom is in internal conflict, the Little Emperor is merely a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. This time, we will definitely be able to seize the Eastern Imperial Kingdom!” General Wang said, a look of disdain instantly appeared in his eyes.

“General, what should we do?” The vice-general asked.

General Wang dismounted from his horse, touched the soil on the ground, and said indifferently, “However, we can not underestimate them too much. They retreated in a hurry. They should have retreated overnight. It seems that they are trying to preserve their strength.”

“General, you can relax. I feel that we should seize the opportunity to pursue them. I heard that the little Emperor of the Eastern Imperial Kingdom has a weak character. Wu Yue has also been dismissed. Now, no one can stop us!”

“Moreover, we have 500,000 soldiers. So what if the Eastern Imperial Kingdom comes?”

“Yes, yes, it’s possible. That little Emperor is a fool!”

After listening to the vice-general’s analysis, General Wang said calmly, “I have a feeling that things aren’t that simple.”

“But you guys are right about one thing. Right now, the enemy’s momentum is weak. We should seize the opportunity to pursue and attack. However, we can’t blindly pursue and attack, lest we fall into the Eastern Imperial Kingdom’s evil scheme.”.

“To be on the safe side, leave 200,000 troops to guard Changlin Pass. We’ll first send 300,000 troops directly to the Imperial Capital. We’ll enter one pass, and the 200,000 troops at the back will advance one pass. We’ll be on guard from the front and back so that we can take care of each other.”

Although Siqi knew that victory was already within his grasp, he was confident that he could directly take down the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.

However, he was still more cautious. He would first let the 300,000 troops take the lead, and the 200,000 troops at the back would hold the rear. If they fell into a trap, the 200,000 troops at the back would be able to provide reinforcements at any time.

This kind of tactic had a beginning and an end. Even if there was an unexpected situation, they would be able to deal with it at any time.

In this battle, the Nanxuan Kingdom knew that the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was currently in internal strife. Hence, they did their best to nurture an army of 500,000 soldiers to attack the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.

It could be said that the Nanxuan Kingdom had a huge appetite. An army of 500,000 soldiers was no longer a small matter. Their goal was to completely annex the Eastern Imperial Kingdom. As long as they annexed the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, the surrounding countries would no longer be able to contend against the Nanxuan Kingdom, the Nanxuan Kingdom would become the most powerful country in the world.

Siqi being able to command an army of 500,000 soldiers was enough to prove that he was not a good-for-nothing. Furthermore, he was the military god of the Nanxuan Kingdom, who was on par with Wu Yue.

The few vice generals looked at General Wang with endless admiration in their eyes. If they were to lead an army, they would definitely be blinded by victory and would directly lead an army of 500,000 soldiers toward the Eastern Imperial Kingdom.

At the thought of this, the few vice generals revealed admiration in their eyes.

“Since they want to retreat, they should give up on the city. Very good, let’s go all out and directly charge toward the Imperial Capital of the Eastern Empire!” Wang Siqi said sternly.

Everyone immediately marched forward and pressed toward the Eastern Empire.

Since the other party had given up on the city, there was no reason for them not to take advantage of it.

…

Wu Yue led 200,000 troops in front.

Ye Chen, Luo Shuihan, Yang Xuan…they led 100,000 troops and followed behind. There was a total of 300,000 troops.

However, Ye Chen had many Transcending Tribulation Realm experts on his side. Ye Chen’s three attendants were existences that could fight against 10,000. In addition to the troops that were temporarily retreating to defend the borders, Ye Chen’s side was not weak.

It was impossible for Ye Chen to mobilize the army that was defending the Western Region.

He still needed to leave tens of thousands of troops to defend the Imperial City. Hence, Ye Chen could only mobilize 100,000 troops. With their current 300,000 troops and the army that had retreated from defending the borders, Ye Chen and the others still had the strength to fight.

Ye Chen did not bring his two senior sisters because this was a battlefield, and the battlefield should belong to men.

Hence, Ye Chen allowed his two senior sisters to remain in the Imperial City.

Elder Jian Ling, Grandmaster Jing Kong, Yang Xiao, and the others had also completed their mission and returned to the Righteous Path Alliance.

However, there were still many powerful experts on Ye Chen’s side.

Ye Chen’s three attendants, Luo Shuihan, Yang Xuan, and Wu Yue, were all experts in the Transcending Tribulation Realm.

In addition, the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Nanxuan Kingdom and the Righteous Path Alliance were working together from the inside and the outside. Ye Chen could control the situation on the battlefield, so Ye Chen was prepared to take down the Nanxuan Kingdom in one fell swoop.

The pass at the border between the Nanxuan Kingdom and the Eastern Imperial Kingdom was called Changlin Pass.

Ye Chen knew that without the presence of Wu Yue, they would not be able to defend and attack at all. Therefore, Ye Chen told them to retreat first. Even if they had to let go of a few cities, they had to maintain their strength.

This was because Ye Chen and the others would rush over immediately. When they arrived, they would immediately be able to launch a counterattack.

Ye Chen they have been moving forward, came to Yuxing City!
