"Commander Yue even has time to accept my invitation. It seems he really has too much free time."
In a tent in the Japanese camp, Shangguan Qian looked at Xiang Sheng and chuckled softly, "My cousin's heart and mind are still as narrow as ever."
Xiang Sheng swirled the drink in his glass, took a sip, and didn't respond at all.
Shangguan Qian's expression grew colder, and he stopped asking riddles. He spoke bluntly, "Shangguan Ning sent nine Golden Immortals and over twenty Celestial Immortals in one go, forming a dense network that completely devastated the Moon Camp. Doesn't Commander Yue feel uncomfortable?"
Xiang Sheng raised his eyes, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes: "If I say I feel uncomfortable, will Master Shangguan recruit me?"
Shangguan Qian was struck by this and simply nodded: "If Yue Tongling is willing to come, I will naturally welcome him with open arms."
Xiang Sheng smiled and shook his head. "Young Master Shangguan, have you forgotten your ambition? If you use female fairies, wouldn't that contradict your ambition to suppress them? How can you even compete with Shangguan Ning for power?"
Shangguan Qian's face darkened as he heard this: "Shangguan Ning even told you this? That's quite generous of you."
"Some things don't need to be said just because she doesn't want to."
Xiang Sheng curled his lips slightly and said, "Master Shangguan, I have a method that will allow me to gain the upper hand in this fight without you recruiting me. Are you willing to listen?"
Shangguan Qian's heart moved, but he smiled and said, "Commander Yue is willing to offer advice, and I am naturally all ears."
"In the first battle after the truce, Young Master, please try to stop the Moon Camp and ensure their complete victory. Can you do that?"
Shangguan Qian's face instantly turned cold, "Commander Yue, are you really not joking?"
“As the saying goes, pride comes before a fall, and having things go too smoothly is not necessarily a good thing.
I have already told you the method, Young Master. Whether you use it or not is entirely up to you."
Xiang Sheng put down the cup and said, "This wine is good. Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye."
After saying that, she stood up and left, her back looking extremely elegant.
Shangguan Qian sat at the wine table, pondered for a moment, and ordered, "Call Nie Zhi."
Not long after, Nie Zhi, dressed in his military uniform, walked into the tent and bowed, "This subordinate greets the young master."
"Yue Sheng allowed me to fight unhindered in my first battle after the break, leading to a resounding victory for the Yueying."
Shangguan Qian stared at Nie Zhi with a serious look. "You've been under her command for quite some time. Could you possibly have guessed her plans?"
Nie Zhi immediately heard the temptation in the words.
It seems that this plan to leave the Moon Camp and compete for the position of commander of the Second Camp is too hasty.
If she directly told Shangguan Qian what Commander Yue had told her, Shangguan Qian would definitely suspect the relationship between her and Yue Sheng.
Her mind raced, and she quickly replied, "Young Master, Yue Sheng is a man of deep scheming, and I cannot see through him. However..."
Nie Zhi looked hesitant.
Shangguan Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, "But what? Go ahead."
Nie Zhi frowned, "What I'm going to say next is all based on my personal speculation. Whether it's true or not is up to you, Young Master.
Yue Sheng and Shangguan Ning seemed to have been at odds for a long time. This time, Shangguan Ning recalled his old subordinates to sideline Yue Sheng, which seemed to be due to the ripe timing.
In fact, Shangguan Ning was anxious to kick Yue Sheng out of the entire decision-making level.
Yue Sheng was so carefree at the moment that her subordinates suspected that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make the last profit and leave the camp directly.
Shangguan Ning would never let the tiger go back to the mountain if he left the camp rashly. But if he was on the battlefield, it would be much more convenient.
I cannot speculate on the specifics of how this will be done, but it should be related to what she said today."
Shangguan Qian listened, a hint of deep thought flashing across his eyes.
What Nie Zhi said makes sense.
If Yueying were to win a great victory and then suffer a crushing defeat, and Yuesheng took advantage of the defeat to feign death and escape on the battlefield, and then when the morale of Yueying's troops was greatly dispersed, it would be a good opportunity for him to take action again.
He could even use the ancient monster to destroy the Moon Camp in one fell swoop.
Shangguan Ning has already played his trump card. If all those captains die on the battlefield, the situation can be reversed in an instant!
The more Shangguan Qian thought about it, the more he felt that this was what Yue Sheng meant, and his expression became visibly brighter.
"Your analysis is quite good and useful. Go down and claim your reward."
"Thank you, young master!"
Nie Zhi saluted respectfully, sneering in his heart.
You're a bunch of fools, thinking of fighting Commander Yue. When we get to the battlefield this time, none of you will have an easy time!
For the next two months, Xiang Sheng's life was very quiet as he concentrated on refining the Origin Sword Leaf.
Under the cramming-style indoctrination of massive amounts of origin, countless insights surged into his mind every day, and his mastery of the great way of the sword rapidly improved.
She did not waste the escaped essence of swordsmanship. After the blood ring was "full", she poured it all into the unparalleled divine sword.
By the day before the war, Xiang Sheng had refined more than twenty Origin Sword Leaves, and the damage to the Wushuang Divine Sword was completely healed, and the Origin was satisfied.
Her own Dao realm directly increased from 30% to 80%, and was about to cross the 90% threshold.
If it were an orthodox realm of cultivation, he would have reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian.
But Xiang Sheng knew that there was a lot of water in it.
The great way of swordsmanship that was forcibly improved by treasures lacked a long period of time to accumulate insights, and its foundation was too shallow. Apart from the basic power that the way of swordsmanship should have, it lacked everything else.
But what she wants is the basics.
"Junior sister, even if you don't have any sword skills now, just the basic power of 80% of the sword is enough to be on par with the Golden Immortal. Even if I am in my prime, I dare not say that I can win."
Wei Ning witnessed Xiang Sheng's rapid improvement over the past six months and couldn't help but sigh, "The Origin Sword Leaf...is indeed a cultivation treasure at the foundation level of the clan's secret treasury.
With such strength at my disposal, the next trip to the ghost town, while still dangerous, won't be impossible."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly to show his agreement.
She made a one-year agreement with Qingmu, not only because she wanted to take advantage of Shangguan Ning's convenience to enter the ghost town, but more because she wanted to profit from the internal strife of the Shangguan family, improve her strength, and increase her confidence for the trip to the ghost town.
Now what she had gained seemed to have exceeded her expectations, and she was just waiting for the right opportunity to take the last step and leave the camp.
And if nothing unexpected happens, this opportunity will soon come to her.
The next day, the truce period was completely over, and the scouts stationed at the forbidden defense line immediately reported back military intelligence that the ancient demon army was ready to move.
The atmosphere in the Red and Green Army immediately became solemn. After several days of intensive preparations, the first batch of troops finally set out. The Moon Camp Army was among them, and it was the main force.
The nine captains originally thought that Xiang Sheng would remain a hands-off boss like he was in the camp, and were just about to show off his skills.
However, they did not expect that as soon as they left the outer area, the nine people received a call from the main account.
"This...are you going or not?"
"Of course I won't go!"
"Isn't this bad?"
"We are not familiar with the commander, why don't we ask Ye Chuxue first?"
After some discussion, the nine people went to see Ye Chuxue together, but they got the news that Ye Chuxue had already gone to the main tent.
