Thump!!!

Argh!!!

As soon as the pressure rushed in, Zheng-Fu collapsed to the ground without resisting, as he lowered his defenses to allow himself to be injured slightly. Otherwise, the other party would know that he was not an ordinary soldier. Zheng-Fu had to play along with the role, letting himself get hurt.

Whoosh!!!

Argh!!!

The pressure disappeared after Zheng-Fu coughed up blood and showed no resistance, like an ant under the huge feet that were ready to stomp at any moment. The pressure rushing towards Zheng-Fu was released by a red-robed young man who sat beside a fat middle-aged man sitting on a luxurious chair in the middle of the hall.

"Bring him in!"

"Yes, sir!!!"

As soon as the pressure was gone, the fat middle-aged man, the nobleman sent from Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country, commanded the guards accompanying Zheng-Fu to drag him into the hall before ordering the guards to leave and close the door.

"Who are you?" a cunning and creepy voice sounded from the fat nobleman.

"I... I... I'm the captain-in-chief of the outer camp, sir!" Zheng-Fu pushed himself upright and replied based on the soldier's memories.

"The captain-in-chief of the camp outside!?"

Huh!

"Don't lie to me, or your corpse will be in such a tragic and terrifying state that it is almost unrecognizable. Tell the truth now!" the fat nobleman continued to pressure Zheng-Fu as before, staring into Zheng-Fu's eyes to see if he was telling the truth.

But even if he stared closely, he could not recognize whether Zheng-Fu was lying or not, as both Zheng-Fu's words and breath were very calm. Liars would not be like this, and even the red-robed martial master could not sense any abnormality.

"I'm telling the truth, Noble Lord. I'm truly a captain-in-chief!" Zheng-Fu performed his role without any flaws.

"Uncle, he must be telling the truth. I saw a flash of truth in his eyes, if it was a lie, I would have recognized it," suddenly, a twenty-six-year-old young man's voice rang out. This young man was the one who had put the pressure on Zheng-Fu the first time he entered.

This young man had a tall and majestic figure to a certain extent; any woman who saw him would have a wow exclamation, and he even had a cultivation level at the eighth level of the Immortal stage. At this age, in Blueland, he could be considered a young genius.

But being at the Immortal stage of a youngster in Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country might just be a normal level. Most of the people there were able to reach the Immortal stage very easily because Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country was richer in resources and the density of Qi energy in the atmosphere than Blueland.

Therefore, the identities at the Immortal stage would be more like normal martial arts cultivators. Not only Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country, but the other kingdoms were also no different. They all had more resources and density in the atmosphere than Blueland.

Inside the hall, after the young man spoke, the fat nobleman nodded in agreement. He waved his hand and called for someone to bring a piece of cloth previously obtained from Zheng-Fu and put it in front of Zheng-Fu, asking with a serious gaze staring at Zheng-Fu, "Where did you get it?"

"I received it from a villager in a forest area hundreds of lis away when I was taking my underlings on patrol, sir," Zheng-Fu hurriedly replied with the soldier's memory and mixed it up with his fiction.

"Got it from the villager? Since when did you guys go out on patrol?" the fat nobleman continued to ask.

"Two days ago, sir."

"Then why are you just telling me now?"

"Because I'm afraid that... if it isn't what I think, it shouldn't be reported yet, sir!"

"If it isn't what you think!? What is not what you think? Just bring a piece of cloth embroidered with the grand commander's name to report it to me. What else do you have to think about?

Idiot, if you come any later than this, then I'll be the one to kill you!" said the fat nobleman in anger because two days ago, he had just received a report from the capital about the mysterious death of the grand commander who led the army here this time.

So, he summoned his nephew to come here to help if something unforeseen happened. That was because he did not know who had killed the most capable commander, who had millions of troops and a large number of highly skilled martial masters surrounding him.

"Don't worry about it, Uncle. Now here we are. We're the disciples of Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Sect: Third Branch, not afraid of the worthless scum of this Blueland!" said the young man, confident and proud of his abilities and energy level.

He had just talked to the fat nobleman about the grand commander's death. However, the grand commander's energy level was much lower than that of his and his companions'. The young man thought that all of them were at the fourth to the fifth level of the Immortal stage, and there were dozens like this, so what else would he have to fear?

"It's true, nephew, that I'm not afraid of them, but we still don't know who did it and how strong he is. Therefore, we should be very careful. Whenever we are reckless, that could be a way to lead us to death!" said the fat nobleman cautiously, which was very different from the impulsive young man.

His words made Zheng-Fu unable to figure out why this fat nobleman had to be so cautious despite having a nephew who was a martial master at the high level of the Immortal stage and dozens of his companions who were at the intermediate level of the Immortal stage surrounded him to guard him.

"Alright, captain-in-chief, you're out now. Thank you very much for the news, and this is your reward!!"

Thump!!!

Finished speaking, the fat nobleman immediately threw the money bag at Zheng-Fu and told him to leave.

"Thank you, sir, Noble Lord," Zheng-Fu thanked him, taking the bag of money before walking away without saying anything else, just staring at the bag in his hand with a greedy expression.

"Tch! Just a bastard for the sake of money!" the young man said contemptuously as he saw Zheng-Fu's face, looking at the bag in his hand like his own cherished darling.

Of course, others might see Zheng-Fu like that, but in reality, it was all an act. Zheng-Fu knew that pretending to be greedy would make others have no doubt because greedy people would do anything for money.

'Huh, huh, huh, we'll find out that between you and me, who is more real, you fat pig and your arrogant nephew,' Zheng-Fu said in his mind, a mischievous smile appearing at the corners of his mouth after coming out of the hall.

Just now, during the conversation in the hall, Zheng-Fu had secretly written an Attack Spell Pattern on the floor. This spell was called 'Monster Blood Bomb.' This spell required the blood of the monster to draw a pattern. The stronger the blood of the monster beast, the more powerful this spell was.

The monster beast blood that Zheng-Fu used was the blood of an intermediate-level Immortal stage monster.

Since the blood of the intermediate-level Immortal stage monster was powerful enough to kill the under-sixth-level Immortal stage martial masters, even the seventh-level masters could be seriously injured if they were attacked without realizing it.

Anyway, this Monster Blood Bomb Spell that Zheng-Fu drew was very complex and full of Qi energy, which made its effect one step more efficient. In other words, those below the seventh level could not survive, and those above the eighth level could die if they were heavily attacked.

But for this spell to work, it took a day to allow the blood to merge with the spell pattern completely. Otherwise, its efficiency would be lower. And during this waiting period, Zheng-Fu would not waste his time.

He thought of using the face of the captain-in-chief to command the soldiers at the outer camp to inspect the forest and secretly kill them for cutting off their strength and killing time. And perhaps the disciples of the Heavenly Fire Bird Sect of the third branch might also appear there.

Back to Blossom Meadow City…

Now that the Blue Sky Country's army had arrived, all the soldiers rushed forward so much that they were exhausted. But when they arrived, everyone was overwhelmed with joy and happiness after hearing the declaration that there was no war; they just had to remain vigilant there.

At an army camp outside the city...

"Did you guys know anything about the Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country's army? Why didn't they come to war?"

"Who knows? It's fine that they don't come, isn't it?"

"That's true... But I just heard the rumors."

"The rumors again. Really nonsense! So, what are the rumors about?"

"Damn it! You're almost looking good, but you're finally curious anyway!"

"Ha ha ha, tell me quickly. I want to know, and other people would like to know too!"

"Well, the rumors I heard were that the entire Birdy Holy Fiery Heaven Country's army had been killed, including the grand commander."

"That's crazy!"

"You must learn to set some limits when joking. Do you think I'm a fool to believe this joke!?"

"I didn't mean to deceive you. I actually heard from the soldiers from the supply troops who had arrived before us. Even the villagers said that there was the grand commander's head at the front of the city gates. But now it has been removed."

"Is it true?"

"Why would I lie to you? I didn't believe it at first either. But when I've heard a lot, I've got to believe and tell you."

"Since there are no enemies, then why did the commander order us to camp here? Why doesn't he let us go home? I already miss my wife so much!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I miss your wife too! Oops!!! My wife too."

The soldiers discussed in various ways the matters of the war because many rumors had been released. Some were just a few short words, and some were as long as a page. Anyway, the morale of the five million soldiers who had been recruited in haste improved with the main rumor.

As for Guan-Yang-Sen, now he was just waiting to see the situation in the frontier city. He knew that Zheng-Fu had gone there and must have done something for sure. So, he commanded the army to wait here first, which would allow the soldiers to rest as well.

Back to the barracks outside the frontier city...

After Zheng-Fu finished commanding the soldiers in the camp, he immediately led the five hundred soldiers to explore the forest. This action was not suspected at all, as they were already taking on this task and were always doing it regularly.

But going out to explore this time was actually different because the person leading the troops was not the same captain anymore, but the one who wanted to wipe them out. And killing low-level ones like this was a good time-killing activity.
