Ji Linghan, Luo Yuan, Qin Chang, and others have been battle-hardened over the years.
They knew very well that this wasn’t appropriate.
"There are many Immortal spies in disguise at the borders of the Demon Realm, by traveling so openly, the enemy knows all about our situation!"
"Yes, the montum is too great, we can no longer stay hidden."
Qin Chang sighed with regret, "We’ve missed the precious opportunity for a surprise attack, otherwise we could have caught them off guard at the start."
Gan Ziyi complained, "Sigh, what on earth is this Azure Dragon Emperor thinking?"
Lu Fan also frowned a bit, "Does he even know how to wage a war?"
"Do not speak of the Azure Dragon Emperor in such a manner!"
Ji Linghan’s beautiful eyes showed a hint of severity.
"He has done us an imnse favor, no matter what he does, do not slander him behind his back!"
"Yes!"
Her prestige was extrely high, and everyone quickly admitted their mistakes.
"But if this goes on, it won’t work either..."
"Should we remind him?"
"I’m just afraid he won’t be happy about it."
Ji Linghan and Lin Ning were also a bit troubled.
After all, he was a benefactor, and they had to be tactful in giving advice.
Seeing this, Mo Chen, Shan Tai, and Wei Miao, who knew Sect Leader Jiang’s identity, couldn’t bear to stay any longer.
You guys are fighting wits with the air.
"I’ll go talk to him!"
Yin Xuer eagerly volunteered.
"You?"
"Yes, I get along quite well with the Azure Dragon Emperor."
"Really?"
Ji Linghan recalled last ti, Yin Xuer sat directly on the Azure Dragon Emperor’s arm, and he didn’t seem to mind.
"Then go ahead, just don’t offend him!"
"Don’t worry, Sister, I know my limits!"
Yin Xuer thought to herself, once there, it wouldn’t be as simple as just not offending.
This was a rare chance to be alone with Sect Leader Jiang, and there might be an opportunity for their relationship to advance.
However, once she entered Brother Cheng’s palace, her good mood disappeared.
She saw that, on either side of Sect Leader Jiang, sat two exquisitely dressed young won.
One, sweet and affectionate, nestled in his arms, while the other, alluring, was feeding him an Immortal Fruit.
Yin Xuer imdiately realized these two won were Sparrow Demons in disguise.
"Sect Leader, you really know how to enjoy life!"
Seeing her aningful expression, Brother Cheng, who had transford back to human form, felt a little embarrassed.
He waved a hand to dismiss the Sparrow Demons.
"Ahem, it’s you, Xue’Er, what brings you here?"
"Nothing much, just that Sister and Lin Ning are worried you might be too careless and lose the war."
She naturally sat next to Brother Cheng, snuggling close.
"What’s to worry about?"
Brother Cheng laughed helplessly, "Since you know who I really am, help calm them down..."
"How should I calm them down?"
"Do you need to teach you that?"
"Then I’ll just tell them you’re Sect Leader Jiang; that should put their minds at ease."
Though she spoke this way, she thought to herself it’s best never to reveal it in this lifeti.
Brother Cheng felt a bit frustrated, "What are you trying to do, didn’t you promise to keep it a secret for ?"
"That depends on my mood."
Yin Xuer, leaning intimately close to him, playfully wrapped her soft, delicate arms around his neck.
Her lithe body was mostly leaning into his embrace.
Brother Cheng took a deep breath of her fragrance, calming his mind.
"Are you trying to blackmail ?"
"Hehe, how would I dare, wasn’t it you who liked this?"
Brother Cheng still had to maintain so dignity in front of his disciples.
Despite enjoying it inwardly, he put on a stern facade, "Nonsense, this Sect Leader has always been upright!"
Yin Xuer leaned closer to his ear, whispering with a laugh, "Those two Sparrow Demons were closer than this just now..."
"Well, it’s just before a great battle, so I relaxed a bit."
"Then relax so more..."
Brother Cheng felt a little humiliated.
It was like being caught in an embarrassing situation by his disciple and being forced into this flirtatious exchange.
Where was the dignity of a Sect Leader?
Where was the sect’s decorum?
Yet, why was there a sense of anticipation in his heart?
"Sigh, I really can’t do anything about you."
Brother Cheng was an honest person after all.
This push and pull seed to take their relationship to the next level.
Suddenly, outside, voices of Cang Ji and Yikong were heard.
"Emperor, did you call for us?"
"We heard you have an important announcent?"
Darn, why are they here?
Brother Cheng quickly sat upright, adjusting his expression.
Yin Xuer also swiftly got up, regretfully excusing herself first.
Watching her gracefully leave, Brother Cheng felt a pang in his heart.
Cang Ji, Cangqiong, Yikong, Mo Yang, and the seven Quasi-Emperors of the Dragon Race entered one after another, not thinking much of Yin Xuer’s departure.
"Emperor, is it regarding the plan for the upcoming battle?"
These days, they’ve been feeling uneasy too.
Going to war with such nonchalance, with no arrangents whatsoever.
The most absurd part was that they still didn’t know the specific target of the attack.
Were it not for the Emperor’s high prestige and frequent miracles, they would have compelled a change long ago.
"Plan?"
Brother Cheng thought to himself that he hadn’t made any plan.
Until now, I’ve only been to the Immortal Demon Mountain once, and that was just passing by.
"Ahem, well, I wanted to tell you not to worry or rush."
"I’ve had a strategy for this battle for a long ti."
"But if I reveal it, it won’t work; strategies aren’t ant for everyone, you understand."
Pretending was sothing he was good at.
Cang Ji and Yikong exchanged looks.
Then they took a long breath of relief.
"I said so, with the Emperor’s unusual calm, he must have a master plan, but you guys didn’t believe."
"Haha, I noticed it a long ti ago."
"You didn’t notice anything, you were the most anxious."
"Since the Emperor already has a plan, we’re relieved!"
After they left, Brother Cheng imdiately complained into the void.
"Big Sister, do you understand how to read the room?"
"I just gave away my precious first kiss, and you called a group of dragons over to watch, ruining the mont."
"Do you know interrupting others can incur Celestial Punishnt?"
Earlier, he had dismissed others, leaving only him and Yin Xuer in the hall.
He wasn’t a fool; the sudden arrival of Cang Ji, Cangqiong, and others, claiming he called them, had to be the Azure Dragon Empress’s trick.
"Giggle..."
In the shadows, Cang Ling chuckled gloatingly.
"You were being blackmailed by your disciple, and I saw you were troubled, so I ca to the rescue!"
"It was done with the best intentions, dear Brother!"
"If you don’t appreciate it, you’ll make feel heartbroken..."
Appreciate your ass, Brother Cheng almost spat blood from anger.
He gritted his teeth and said sharply, "This is the corporate culture of our Feixian Sect."
"You ordinary folks wouldn’t understand!"
"Next ti, don’t ss around if there’s nothing."
"Oh really, so you are actually looking forward to next ti?"
The Empress’s tone was full of implication.
Brother Cheng couldn’t be bothered to bicker with her.
And so, a few days later, this grand and peculiar team finally reached the foot of Immortal Demon Mountain.
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
