Capítulo 1391: Chapter 115: Inviting Heroes, Enter the World!
Xiong Tianrui’s complexion changed slightly, and he said, “Duan Qingyu, have you already decided to defect?!”
General ng said, “No doubt about it!”
“Furthermore, we captured this one, but who knows how many secret agents Duan Qingyu sent out to pass ssages; it’s likely that soone has already reached Marquis Qin Wu’s army and is ready to lead the way.”
“Why wait for the right mont? In my opinion, today, as long as Mu Taihong doesn’t return, you and I will imdiately start the uprising, take control of the Southwest Prince’s city, and then ally with Emperor Chen and Emperor Ying to sche for major plans.”
“Even if we’re not willing to join the battlefield imdiately, at least it shows them our sincerity and spares us future reckoning, granting us wealth and glory.”
Xiong Tianrui’s expression changed several tis, and he gritted his teeth, saying, “Alright!”
In the Southwest Prince’s city, the situation changed; on the surface, everything still seed peaceful and harmonious. Yet secretly, the two factions already had a fiery stance. One side was in contact with Chen Country and Ying Country, while Duan Qingyu secretly liaised with Marquis Qin Wu’s army.
Even Tai Boyong couldn’t help but smile bitterly, saying, “We say they are not capable, but are we much better? They contact Chen Country and Ying Country, and we’re also trying to ally with Marquis Qin Wu. This Southwest region has beco a microcosm of the world’s struggles.”
Duan Qingyu drank alone, saying, “The battlefield and the martial world are rely projections of the court. At this mont, the world is in upheaval; how can our Southwest region alone enjoy tranquility? Aren’t we also a microcosm of the world?”
“We are like the weapons of Marquis Qin Wu.”
“And they are the sharp edge of Ying Country and Chen Country.”
“The battlefield is in Jiangnan and Chen Country, but isn’t it also here in our Southwest? People in the martial world always say, ‘In the martial world, one’s life is not one’s own.’ Yet, in truth, only the martial world people still have the choice to hide from the world. We, in this chaotic world, are truly without choices.”
“I’ve heard that Yuwen Lie from Ying Country is already closing in on Jiangnan.”
“The Qilin Army has already clashed with Yuwen Lie’s forces.”
“Indeed, but with Sword Madman in Jiangnan, they might not suffer a loss…”
As they were sighing, sudden sounds of disturbance ca from outside. Duan Qingyu frowned and rose to walk out, just in ti to see Xiong Tianrui, ng Zehao, and others. The younger generation from the Southwest and this group of elders were mutually intolerant.
In the past, everyone sowhat masked their animosity, at least keeping appearances cordial. But today, there were no masks; their gazes brimming with hostility. Xiong Tianrui laughed jovially, while ng Zehao gripped his weapon with little respect.
“Isn’t this His Highness the Southwest Prince and Commander Tai Boyong?”
“Why have you two co out today, instead of reminiscing your heroic past and discussing the divine might of Taiping Duke?”
Tai Boyong’s eyes flared, about to open his mouth to curse, but was held back by Duan Qingyu.
Duan Qingyu calmly looking at this fierce general from the Southwest was indifferent, simply saying, “General ng’s martial skills at the Seven Heavens are considered as grandmaster-level, yet you never made it into the top thirty of the Divine General List.”
“If you encounter Taiping Duke or Marquis Qin Wu, I wonder if you’d still have the courage to draw your sword.”
ng Zehao laughed several tis, saying, “The Divine General List rely ranks based on battle achievents. My reputation hasn’t spread because we haven’t stepped into the world, haven’t fought with the world’s heroes.”
“When I step into the world, I will also be a top ten divine general, with fa that lasts through the ages!”
Duan Qingyu said nothing, but Tai Boyong coldly laughed, “So confident, yet only because you’ve always been in this Southwest region, fighting among yourselves, within so-called battle formations between cities.”
“Would you have the courage to speak as you did just now in the three-hundred-year chaotic history of the Central Plains?”
ng Zehao drew his saber, eyes wide with fury, saying:
“Only a Sixth Layer Heaven-old scoundrel, how dare he insult !”
Duan Qingyu rely raised his hand, pressing down on ng Zehao’s weapon. The latter’s Dharma Form had not yet manifested before being forcibly suppressed. Duan Qingyu, though relying on the traditional thods of the Southwest Prince, stepped into the Eighth Layer Heaven, yet the Eighth Layer Heaven is the Eighth Layer Heaven indeed.
ng Zehao froze for a mont.
Over the years, he had erged among the conflicts between cities in the Southwest territory, arrogant with three portions of pride and three portions of arrogance.
After all, the Southwest is different from the Central Plains, and the title of Southwest Prince was conferred by Chen Country’s late Emperor.
Duan Qingyu was more like the alliance leader of these various city alliances.
Though he held a rather high position, he lacked the authority to exert extre control over each city’s lord, which resulted in lingering disputes between cities and tribes within an overall peaceful atmosphere.
ng Zehao and others’ confidence also stemd from these conflicts, but at this mont, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, his body tensing as he held his saber, even his Inner Qi operation slowing.
The seemingly calm Duan Qingyu emitted a sense of oppression.
Making ng Zehao and others feel like facing a formidable enemy.
In his heart, uncertainty lingered; the rumors of the Southwest Prince, who as a youth clashed multiple tis with Taiping Duke, each ti defeated, retreating in embarrassnt, suddenly revealed an unspoken fierceness.
As if, this Eighth Layer Heaven Southwest Prince was indeed an outstanding fierce general.
But how could this be possible.
He fought against Taiping Duke, the Wolf King.
Ten battles, ten defeats.
Each ti only being able to escape with a few dozen riders.
Can such a person really be considered a famous general?
