Bashu, Sichuan city.

Sichuan and Chongqing have always been known as the "Land of Abundance".

It is rich in resources and has a large number of beautiful women.

Moreover, Sichuan is a relatively inclusive city.

People from other places feel very comfortable here.

When Lin Chuang led his army into the city, Guan Zetao, the general guarding the city, personally opened the city gates to welcome him.

Guan Zetao held the rank of deputy military governor. Although he was only a deputy, he wielded considerable power. The vast and sparsely populated areas of Sichuan and Tibet were all under his control.

Guan Zetao is a man who doesn't usually show off and doesn't have deep relationships with other departments.

But very few people know that he was Wu Tiande's man.

The Grand Secretary only learned of this in the last two years, but it was too late. Guan Zetao was firmly established in Sichuan and Chongqing, and it would not be easy to take him down.

In addition, the Grand Secretary is busy dealing with the powerful clans and doesn't have the time or energy for that. As long as the Wu family doesn't become too arrogant, there's nothing to fear about Sichuan and Chongqing.

Unexpectedly, although the Wu family fell, Wu Tiande had already prepared a backup plan for his grandson.

Now that the Tiger and Leopard Army has entered Sichuan, it has become the biggest threat to the Great Xia Dynasty.

Given the geographical location of Sichuan and Chongqing, coupled with its abundant resources and affluence, it would be virtually impossible to defeat Lin Chuang without suffering casualties.

Lin Chuang was well aware of this, and once the city gates were closed, he felt much more at ease and indulged in a feast at the governor's mansion.

Guan Zetao was even more obsequious, sending beautiful women from Sichuan and Chongqing to his residence one after another.

Lin Chuang was overjoyed, but when he woke up the next day, his legs were so weak he could barely walk and were trembling.

After more than a year of seclusion, all the skills I had honed through diligence and self-discipline were ruined in an instant.

The Yamata no Orochi, however, thrived in its environment, directly plunging into the Ten Thousand Mountains. (It's good to replenish its protein.)

For several days in a row, legends of monsters began to circulate in the towns and villages in the mountains.

Wherever that giant snake passed, nothing grew; it sucked all the life out of any animal that could breathe.

Even in some remote mountain villages, the entire population was swallowed up.

The villagers reported to the governor's office, requesting Guan Zetao to send troops to subdue the demon.

Guan Zetao knew that the giant snake was invited by Lin Chuang, so he dared not act on his own and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to find Lin Chuang.

As a result, he was scolded by Lin Chuang.

"So what if a few people die? What's the big deal! There are so many of you Sichuanese, so what if a few die? Why should we care about those commoners? Don't let those ants spoil my enjoyment!"

Lin Chuang gave Guan Zetao a severe dressing-down and kicked him out, sending him back to work as a pile driver.

Guan Zetao was also quite helpless.

What kind of stupid thing is this?

This thing can be called a "general"?

If you don't even care about the lives of ordinary people, how can you win public support? Besides, doesn't economic development require people?

If there are no people left, how can you, the King of Han, sit securely in your position? Who will fight for you in the future?

Guan Zetao was so angry he wanted to curse, but he had no choice but to obey Lin Chuang.

In just a few days, the villages of Sichuan suffered heavy casualties. Tens of thousands of people were affected.

Lin Yu, who was far away on the ancient battlefield, had already received the news.

He originally planned to use the ancient battlefield to cause trouble for Japan again, hoping to trigger a volcanic eruption.

However, Feng Jiu used a secret technique to send him a message, letting him know about the situation in Bashu and that the Yamata no Orochi was causing trouble.

Lin Yu was a man who cared deeply for the people, so he couldn't sit still. He immediately set up an array to accumulate energy, preparing to teleport back to Changbai Mountain.

Finally, two days later, Lin Yu returned to the Feng residence.

Without time to rest, he led the Buddhist army south to conquer Shu!

The land of Hanzhong.

King Liu Jin of Hanzhong personally came out to welcome the Buddhist army into Hanzhong.

Liu Jin is an old prince, and so far, the highest-ranking nobleman in the Great Xia Dynasty.

The reason why the Liu family was able to be granted the title of king was because their ancestors followed their patriarch in conquering the world and subjugating three million square kilometers of territory, and were thus granted the title of king with equal status.

This title was thus passed down.

Although Liu Jin was old and somewhat confused, he loved the people very much, and none of the people under his rule had a bad word to say about him.

He heard that Lin Chuang had been condoning the snake demons' mischief in Sichuan and had sent troops to attack Sichuan City several times.

But Guan Zetao was no pushover; the Sichuan army's fighting strength was no less than that of the western border forces, so he naturally suffered a great loss.

"Young Marshal Lin, you've come at the right time! Your brother is no human being, he's a devil! Not only does he collude with the Japanese, but he also condones evildoers harming the people. You must stand up for the people of Sichuan!"

Liu Jin wept bitterly, almost kneeling before Lin Yu.

Although Hanzhong is not part of Sichuan and Chongqing, Chengdu and Chongqing are practically one family, and there is almost no distinction between them. When the people of Sichuan and Chongqing suffer, his heart is torn apart.

"Your Highness, please rise. Although Lin Chuang is my half-brother, I will not protect him!"

"My Lin family will not tolerate anyone who becomes a traitor!"

"All troops, heed my command! Immediately attack Shu! Whoever takes Lin Chuang's head will be rewarded with a thousand gold pieces and promoted three ranks!"

Upon receiving the order, the Buddhist army immediately advanced towards Sichuan City.

Waaaaah!

The bugle sounded.

Guan Zetao climbed up the city wall and exclaimed, "Holy crap, holy crap!"

The sheer power of the Buddha Army is awe-inspiring; just one glance is enough to impress anyone.

His legs trembled as he ran to the governor's mansion to report on the military situation.

"General, something terrible has happened! Your brother Lin Yu is here! He's leading the Floating Pagoda Army and is preparing to attack the city!"

"What?"

Lin Chuang pulled back the bed curtains, pushed the beautiful woman off him, and his face gradually turned cold and ferocious.

"Damn it, you little bastard, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for ages! Now it's time to settle all the old and new scores!"

"Bring those Japanese guys here!"

In a short while, Lin Chuang put on his armor and arrived at the central command tent.

General Liu Hongsheng and several other Japanese were also present.

"Now that Lin Yu is back, shouldn't you snakes, who have been indulging in feasts these past few days, lend a hand?" Lin Chuang asked, his eyebrows sweeping over the group.

The reason he tolerated the Yamata no Orochi was so that it would one day deal with Lin Yu.

You can't raise an army for a thousand days and use it for only one day. You can't just eat without taking a dump, can you?

The men in black robes nodded and began to play their flutes.

"We've already informed the Great God; it's currently eating meat in Liangshan and will be back soon!"

Liangshan!

Awoo!

The wind howled.

A huge snake was coiled on the mountaintop, twice the size of the one I had seen a few days ago.

Villagers halfway up the mountain, armed with shovels, hoes, and hunting rifles, were throwing stones and setting fires.

But it was all for naught; the giant snake opened its mouth and sucked hundreds of villagers directly into its belly.

In no time at all, more than a dozen villages in the area were wiped out.

Glug!

belch!

Having eaten its fill, its ears suddenly twitched slightly, and it looked toward Chuancheng, its eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Lin Yu, you brat! I couldn't beat you before, but now that I've successfully transformed into a dragon at the Dragon Pool and eaten my fill, do you think I can't beat a little rascal like you?

Awoo!

With a roar that was almost like a dragon's cry, the Yamata no Orochi wriggled its body, traversing mountains and valleys, and advancing towards Chuancheng!
