Divine Brilliance

Chapter 861: Charming And Gentle Old Temple

“General Zong Yuan requests for orders. The enemy troops are afraid to fight, do we strike to break them?”

Kong Yao came back to her senses and looked towards the left wing. She instantly saw roughly 30,000 cavalry who were wearing red armor.

They were in front of the right wing of the Yue Army, charging and disturbing them constantly.

They were split into 10 groups, advancing and retreating as and when they wanted. Sometimes they sped up, sometimes they slowed down. Those various lines of troops were dazzling, like the most exquisite piece of art. It was extremely beautiful and filled one with awe.

This was the newly built Big Dipper Cavalry of Great Gan. It was similarly from the legacy of Great Qin, one of their basic soldier types. It was above average among Grade-4 Dao Soldiers, but they were extremely cheap and there was a huge number of them. When Great Qin was at their most prosperous, they could drown the entire Cloud World.

In this era, it could be considered an extremely Elite Cavalry Army.

To date, Great Gan had only built 30,000 of them. They were built after Qiuwei took control of the Privy Council and they were his babies.

Great Gan didn’t have a huge enough number of Xiantian experts, however, those chosen all had a possibility to break into Xiantian in a few years...

At this moment, there were only 30,000 of them, but they had the aura of a million troops.

It caused the Yue Army to be exhausted dealing with them. Their originally orderly formations started to become chaotic. The soldiers had fear on their ashen white faces.

As Zong Yuan had said, the time was right.

In just one strike, they would be able to crush the left wing!

“Commander Zong is indeed an Unparalleled Famous General, you truly are invincible. We have been at a standstill for 6 hours and haven’t even engaged. We have not even used the Blood Cavalry yet and have already placed them on their back foot. If we win this battle, Commander Zong will take first credit!”

At this moment, He Li praised from the side.

During this battle, the Pill Crane Race’s job was to use Light Cavalry to strike all around, to disturb Yue Country territory and waste their troops.

In the month before, He Li led the members of his race to gallop all around South Wind Cloud Continent, only now did he have some free time.

In this kind of main force battle, the effects of the Crane Race Light Cavalry were really small. Fighting head-on wasn’t their specialty.

This was why He Li was standing beside the Commander to spectate this battle.

“To Concubine Yao, the first credit should go to General He...”

Every time she called herself that her face couldn’t help but flush red.

Till now she was still not used to this term. Each time she heard it, she would think back to the preposterous things that happened before Zong Shou left.

However, she had to do so, especially in the army where order and rules were most important.

At this moment, she wasn’t the Left Army Inspector, but she was commanding all of Great Gan troops with her identity as Concubine.

When Zong Shou left, she took over from him to manage the situation.

Xuanyuan Yiren was engrossed in refining pills, trying to verify her Dao through pill refining. Even if she bothered with such matters occasionally, it would mostly be government matters.

Like Zong Shou, if it was something she wasn’t good at, she wouldn’t casually interfere in it.

Great Gan seemed like it was safe but it was actually in a dangerous situation. She couldn’t represent Zong Shou to take charge of all the war matters of Great Gan.

Zong Shou let go of his power, allowing her to mobilise troops to fight wars on all fronts. This was something she dreamt of doing for her entire life.

“Without General He and the Sky Fox Race disturbing their territory to send them into chaos, our troops wouldn’t have been able to successfully disembark on the Cloud Continent...”

He Li smiled, he didn’t argue but there was also no gleeful smile on his face.

It was true that without their month of tough battles which caused the Yue Army to have no choice but to retreat to the backlines, Great Gan wouldn’t have been able to attack their way up the shore so easily.

However, without those thousands of warships, two million troops outside on the Cloud Ocean which drew up to 90% of the Yue Army, how would they be able to move about so freely within Yue Country?

This was not the sole credit of their Pill Crane Race, the Sky Fox Race also contributed greatly.

The Crane Race had light bodies and were able to fly, the Fox Race was good at Illusionary Techniques, the both of them working together helped to buff their strengths.

“I see that there are many Taoists opposite, it really is true. They really want to interfere in this matter. These people didn’t have the strength to turn the battle abound, but they could assassinate the Commander. Concubine, please be careful.”

“They are just clowns.”

Kong Yao looked out. Dozens of miles away, those closely packed people could see the Yue Country Ruler, Ruan Weiling, on the carriage.

His eyes were dyed red, his expression was filled with rage. A few months ago, he had already seen his own fate and his face was a sickly white.

She had heard that since this person retreated in defeat from Huizhou, he was drunk with wine and beauties, not worrying about political matters and did many preposterous things.

Speaking of which, he couldn’t be blamed. Zhang Huai had beaten him too badly previously in Huizhou.

Close to 80% of his elite troops were wiped out. Close to 1,000 of their Warships had fallen in the Cloud Ocean.

During this year, he was locked down by the Great Gan navy, cutting off almost all trade.

The powers within the country were instigated and provoked by Great Gan, chaos breaking out all around.

This battle was a struggle to the death. This intelligent mighty lord naturally knew that there was no way out of the situation that he faced, at all.

Although the Taoist Faction interfered, however, before one had absolute confidence, they wouldn’t interfere too deeply.

The more capable one was, the crazier one would be when they were in despair. It wasn’t surprising what kind of things he would do.

However, talking about lust, Kong Yao couldn’t help but think back to that night.

She couldn’t help but scoff, he most probably couldn’t compare to that fellow...

She shook her head and came back to her senses. Her body was straightened and she gave off a solemn expression.

“Order the troops to strike out! Inform Commander Zong that he can crush the left wing, but leave some strength to fight...”

With that order given, a series of armor clanging sounds spread out from that red wave which moved forward slowly.

They had a vast aura, like that of a steel wall which suppressed the enemy.

He Li was silent, only needing to crush the enemy? To pull back after?

Even at such a time when victory was in their sights, she wouldn’t forget to be safe.

However, there was indeed no need to take a risk. It was tough to ensure that that person wouldn’t fight to the death.

As long as the army was crushed, step by step, they would be able to totally destroy Great Yue which was on the verge of falling.

A person who was truly good at war didn’t worry about merit. One needed to use momentum, as long as they create a Country Destroying momentum, those powers in Yue Country would naturally jump out. Those cities would also fall one by one.

The Elite Cavalry would keep their combat strength so as to prevent any accidents from occurring.

The outcome of this battle wasn’t something that any external force could change!

Today would be when Great Yue was wiped out!

※※※※

Before the last bit of consciousness was wiped out, he entered this foreign world which constantly called out to him.

Zong Shou kept the Blue Fire Xuan Turtle before traveling in the air. His brain was unable to think at all. He could only rely solely on his instincts to fly toward where he felt was safest.

A moment later, there was a heavy thud. He felt like he had fallen into a small lake.

Then, his eyes turned dark and he went totally unconscious.

Who knows how long passed before Zong Shou woke up from that heavy slumber?

Right away, he spread out his Spiritual Sense to get a feel of the surroundings.

He first heaved a sigh of relief. He was still alive and it seemed like he didn’t fall into the hands of Lu Wushuang.

This temple was really secluded and was built in a large dense forest like it was afraid that people would notice it.

The door suddenly creaked, the wooden door was pushed open by someone.

Zong Shou forced his eyes open as he looked out. He was stunned and felt a little embarrassed.

Only now did he notice that he was totally naked.

However, it didn’t shock him as much as the girl who walked in.

Jingyin...

It was that woman who looked so similar to Jingyin as if they were twins.

Why was it such a coincidence?

Following this, Zong Shou comprehended something. He knew that this wasn’t a coincidence but that before he went unconscious he flew toward the Spiritual Sense that he left in this world.

This place was also where the Wish Power was the thickest in this world.

When this ‘Jingyin’ walked in and saw that he was awake, she was delighted and then felt a little embarrassed.

However, following this, he turned back to normal. She was calm and even when she looked at his body, it was like she was looking at something that was really normal.

“You woke up?”

Carrying a water basin, Jingyin walked beside him. She used a wet towel to help him wipe his body.

“About three days ago, Master and I walked past the lake and noticed that you were unconscious there. Thus, I asked Master to bring you back to heal you. Are you feeling better? Jingyin was worried before. Master said that she couldn’t see your illness, the temperature of your body was hundreds of times that of normal people. She had no solution. Thus, we could only wait for when you woke up, or that you might never wake up...”

Zong Shou felt really weird in his heart, so this girl was also called Jingyin?

How was there such a coincidental thing in the world? Not only did they look the same, even their names were the same.

It also gave one a feeling like they were identical. They were both very fresh and pure.

If not for it being a sudden situation for him to come to this world and that this woman wasn’t acting weirdly, he would have thought that this was a specially set up plot.

However, what was happening?

His body was a Celestial Body.

He was unable to truly make it such that his body couldn’t be covered in dirt, but it was extremely clean like a crystal.

There shouldn’t have been any dirt or impurities formed from within his body. However, at this moment, for some reason, his body was covered in a black layer of sweat and excretion. It was extremely smelly.

Jingyin didn’t care at all and carefully cleaned his body.

Only when she reached his lower body did she find things to be a little awkward. She randomly wiped it, but who knew that with just a few touches and that thing would stand straight up. It was like a pillar, quite impressive.

Jingyin was even more embarrassed. Her calmness from before had totally disappeared. She didn’t dare to look and shifted her gaze elsewhere.
