Chapter 901: Chapter 515: Massive Gains, Return to Liangzhou!
At the sa ti, squads of elite cavalry were dispatched, searching for Chen Yuan’s whereabouts.
The Great Khan entrusted him with heavy responsibilities, so he was determined to guard the Royal Court well for the Great Khan!
Unfortunately, soone like Chen Yuan, after annihilating the Qishan King’s Departnt, left quietly, hiding his achievents and fa, and departed from the vicinity of the Qishan Tribe.
Return to Liangzhou!
The Royal Court mobilized to invade the Central Plains, and this news must reach Wei Jinfeng’s ears as soon as possible. He just hoped ti was still on their side, as moving an army of 700,000 was no small matter.
It required a massive amount of logistics.
Martial Artists with strong cultivation could abstain from food and even transcend mortal desires, but ordinary cavalry didn’t have such capability; they would certainly carry heavy baggage on such a long march across thousands of miles.
And these would undoubtedly slow down their progress.
Chen Yuan didn’t linger on the grassland for too long, and this was partly why.
Additionally, Chen Yuan was the highest official of the Heavenly Patrol Bureau in Liangzhou, himself a fourth rank official, the Marquis of Wuwei. In terms of status, he was no less than the high generals in the Beiliang Army.
Once the Northern Barbarians advanced, he would inevitably be summoned.
An unexcused absence would be a grave cri!
It would also greatly damage his reputation.
Another reason was personal ambition.
Chen Yuan wanted to use this great war as an opportunity to advance his rank further and earn so military rits for himself. Such a rare grand occasion couldn’t be missed.
His strength was indeed average, only just able to handle a True Master new to the Yang Transformation Realm.
But he had his trump cards!
When the Asura True Monarch erged, unless a Sixth Realm Immortal appeared, who could stop him?
Although Moluo’s identity couldn’t be exposed, alternative thods might be devised to conceal it. If successful, Chen Yuan’s fa would undoubtedly soar.
When the Sima Family lost their influence, he could rally support and raise the banner of justice, and at that mont… it would truly be a mont of glory!
Of course, these were just so of his thoughts.
Chen Yuan himself also bore so responsibility. This Eastward expedition of the Northern Barbarians couldn’t be said to have no ties to him. If the sufferings of the Central Plains’ common folk were severe, the cause and effect would be significant.
These were also things Moluo had told Chen Yuan.
The further one advances in martial arts, the more one sees beyond ordinary realms. One must enter the realm of ‘Dao’ to truly achieve enlightennt. Otherwise, how could it be called ‘attaining the Dao and ascending to immortality’?
The Dao of cause and effect is also one of the Dao.
Though sowhat obscure, Chen Yuan faintly understood.
To avoid accidentally encountering the Northern Barbarians’ main forces, Chen Yuan chose a different route. Even so, he remained cautious, keeping a close watch on his surroundings while flying at high speed.
Finally, after several days of travel, Chen Yuan crossed the Northern Desert’s grasslands, traversing thousands of miles. He estimated he was half a day away from seeing Liangzhou’s border.
But at this mont, Chen Yuan spotted a unit of Northern Barbarian cavalry.
Coincidentally, he noticed the Qishan Tribe’s flag among this cavalry.
This indicated that this cavalry unit belonged to the Qishan King’s Departnt.
It was an undeniable coincidence.
This Qishan cavalry comprised about three thousand n, seemingly a vanguard force, to scout the situation. Chen Yuan contemplated for a mont but ultimately decided not to engage. With his power, he could handle this three-thousand-man lightly equipped cavalry.
But it would inevitably delay so ti and alert the Barbarian Clan. To prevent unnecessary situations, Chen Yuan decided to report this matter to Wei Jinfeng first.
After all, there were nearly a thousand miles left. Based on his estimate of the Northern Barbarian cavalry’s speed, it would take at least one or two days.
That should be enough ti for Wei Jinfeng to prepare.
Fortunately, the Northern Barbarian’s speed wasn’t considered fast. Even though he had been delayed for several days, he still caught up with them, then took a deep look at the galloping Northern Barbarian cavalry and transford into a streak of light rushing towards Liangzhou City.
His speed increased dramatically.
About an hour after Chen Yuan left, the three thousand-man Barbarian cavalry gradually slowed down. The leader’s face looked a bit unpleasant, and the deputy, curious, glanced at the vanguard and humbly asked:
“General, what happened?”
Qishan Moluo frowned:
“Lai Hu’er, did you just sense soone watching us?”
Lai Hu’er glanced around and slowly shook his head:
“Subordinate did not notice anything.”
“Perhaps it was just overthinking. There’s been sothing unsettling since a few days ago, like sothing major has happened,
but I can’t quite grasp it for now.”
Qishan Moluo said solemnly.
“Maybe it’s because we’re nearing the Central Plains, and you’re struggling to suppress your bloodthirsty desires, General.” Lai Hu’er flattered.
Qishan Moluo was a noble of the Qishan King’s Departnt and the most outstanding son of Qishan King, thus earning the position of vanguard. As the deputy of the Qishan Tribe, he naturally wanted to maintain a good relationship.
If he could strengthen ties with Qishan Moluo during this ti, upon their return, he could smoothly beco a trusted subordinate.
His entire clan would be proud of him.
Qishan Moluo laughed heartily, alleviating his worries, and said:
“You’re right, I just can’t restrain my desire to kill those two-legged sheep.”
While the two were conversing, a cavalryman approached from afar, shouting loudly:
“General, General, the Beiliang Army is spotted ahead!”
Qishan Moluo’s expression swiftly turned grave. Though he called them two-legged sheep, expressing so contempt, it was indeed not the case. The Beiliang Army of the Central Plains had blocked the grassland for two hundred years.
