Zhou Mu was clearly taken aback, and then looked in the direction of the voice, where he immediately saw a pretty figure standing in front of him.

That……

Isn't she the one he's been longing for day and night?

But now that the person was right in front of him, he hesitated to recognize them, fearing that this would be the beginning of another nightmare, or a continuation of the previous one.

Fortunately, after exchanging a glance, nothing changed. At this moment, Zhou Mu cautiously walked up to Ye Mujiu and said, "You are... Xiao Jiu?"

After a slight hesitation, Zhou Mu clearly uttered those two words.

Opposite her, Ye Mujiu nodded heavily, and the next moment, tears streamed down her face, "Brother Mu..."

The little girl called out sweetly, and then her clear eyes were filled with tears.

The two embraced tightly, just as they had before.

Nezha watched from the sidelines, utterly speechless, "Here we go again... this is another dog-slaughtering spree."

After saying that, Nezha patted his little head in confusion and asked, "Strange, why did I say 'again'?"

Dragon

Faced with the ever-approaching pressure from the front lines, even Jiang Fengzi, the patriarch of the Dragon Clan, felt immense pressure, despite his experience. After all, for him, not only was the external environment deteriorating, but the internal situation remained unstable.

It seemed as if some unseen force was always restraining him, so much so that after he issued several orders, the battlefield yielded the opposite result he had anticipated.

After the dragon army suffered repeated defeats, Jiang Fengzi's expression gradually darkened as he looked at the sand table in front of him.

The huge sand table shows the terrain and landforms of that area.

At this moment, more than half of the area on the sand table was covered by darkness, which meant that the extraterrestrial demons had occupied about half of the territory.

Even with its formidable strength, the dragon race was already feeling the strain of being on its own, which is why Jiang Fengzi chose to seek help from the Great Qin Domain.

It is no exaggeration to say that, apart from the Dragon Clan, perhaps only the Great Qin Domain can barely contend with the extraterrestrial demons.

However, what worries him is that, regardless of the battle between the dragon race and the extraterrestrial demons on the front lines, the battles fought behind the scenes are incredibly dark and even more thrilling than those on the front lines.

Furthermore, a loss on the second front could very well affect the outcome of the main battle.

Therefore, even Jiang Fengzi dared not let his guard down regarding these matters.

"Chief, the messenger has returned."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengzi repeatedly beckoned the messenger in.

Before the envoy could even bow, Jiang Fengzi hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, what's the situation? Is the Great Qin Domain willing to send out as many troops?"

The envoy's face had already turned ugly. "No... the Emperor of the Great Qin Region has the intention. Unless you apologize to him, the matter of reinforcements..."

There was no need to say anything more.

This was exactly what Jiang Fengzi had expected. However, he didn't want to admit defeat to the person he had been fighting with for most of his life until the very last moment. But the situation forced him to do so.

So he took out a letter he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve, handed it to the messenger, and said, "It has my seal on it. Give it to him. By the way, tell him that the establishment of the Daqian Pavilion should be put on the agenda."

The messenger said yes and then left in a hurry. He knew that this matter was of great importance, so he dared not delay for even a moment.

After the envoy left, only Jiang Fengzi remained in the large central military tent. At this moment, a man slowly walked in from outside the door. The man had long, elegant hair, a handsome face, and wore white clothes. He had a somewhat feminine beauty, and if one did not look closely, one would probably easily mistake him for a woman.

"Jiang Ming, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the long-haired man, Jiang Fengzi wasn't surprised. After giving a soft greeting, he continued looking at the sand table.

The man called Jiang Ming chuckled lightly, then said, "I heard you were in trouble, so I came to help you. What? You're not welcome?"

Jiang Fengzi was already used to Jiang Ming's joking around and didn't react much. He pointed to the sand table and said seriously, "What if I set up a surprise attack here?"

Jiang Ming looked over, then shook his head after a moment and said, "No."

"Why?" Jiang Fengzi's eyes became bright and alert as he waited quietly for the latter to continue.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming let out a long breath and said, "This terrain is too special. Look, at the end of a narrow passage, that's where you're going to set up an ambush. Do you think that Demon Lord is a fool? He can't even see such an obvious trap. Secondly, you can go and see for yourself. There's no spiritual energy at all in this place you mentioned."

"If we were to fight the extraterrestrial demons here, our strength would be greatly reduced, to the point that at most a few dozen people could annihilate the entire army."

Jiang Fengzi hadn't expected this at all, but Jiang Ming's words gave him a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Then, when he looked at Jiang Ming, there was a different kind of appreciation in his eyes.

He said, "I wonder how come I didn't realize you were so amazing before?"

Jiang Ming gave an awkward smile.

As he approached the sand table, a chill suddenly emanated from his dark eyes. Pointing to a region shrouded in layers of demonic energy, he said, "Give me an army of 100,000, and I can conquer this place."

Jiang Fengzi's gaze sharpened slightly. Following the direction the finger was pointing, he was somewhat surprised after seeing it clearly.

Based on his years of understanding of the person in front of him, he naturally knew that what the latter was saying was not a joke.

Most importantly, the territory Jiang Ming mentioned was located in the heart of the extraterrestrial demons' territory. If he guessed correctly, that place should be the main camp of the extraterrestrial demons, the place where they commanded their entire army.

"How confident are you?" Jiang Fengzi asked, slightly composing himself.

"Um... about 80%."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fengzi's eyes suddenly lit up, then he was slightly surprised, "So, you're pretty sure you've got it all figured out."

After all, for Jiang Ming, who is always cautious, a certainty of more than 50% means it's a sure thing, and a certainty of more than 80% means it's practically a done deal.

Then, ignoring Jiang Ming's response, he directly issued the order, mobilizing 200,000 troops for Jiang Ming. He smiled at the latter and said, "I entrust these 200,000 soldiers to you. Do not disappoint me."
