Chapter 367 The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind



"President Fu, how many more people do you want to die in vain?"

Jiang Haitian walked up to Fu Yanchao and asked meaningfully.

"Jiang Haitian! What are you doing? Do you intend to betray the Empress?!"

Fu Yanchao roared loudly.

Jiang Haitian laughed and said, "Betrayal? I have never been loyal to Leng Qingcheng, so how can there be any talk of betrayal?"

It was you who colluded with Yue Beiqing, causing my Demon Breath soldiers to lose their lives in vain.

You are the real traitor to the Demonic Breath!

"What nonsense are you spouting!" Fu Yanchao panicked. "What do you mean I'm a traitor to the Demon Breath? I don't understand what you're saying!"

"Heh..." Jiang Haitian sneered, "Fu Yanchao, you're supposed to be a veteran of the Demon Breath, but your act of feigning stupidity is truly laughable."

Shenmen Pass is protected by an eighth-grade defensive array, yet you sent your low-level soldiers to their deaths in vain.

Anyone with a brain should realize there's a trap involved.

Logically, even if they truly wanted to reclaim it, they should first try to shut down the defensive array, which would require cultivators with sufficient cultivation levels to undertake.

But you sent nearly two thousand cultivators to the Ice and Fire Cave to die, attempting to wipe out all the elite troops of the Demon Breath Army in one fell swoop.

Even a fool wouldn't make such a suffocating move.

But you did it anyway, and your clumsy attempt was laughable.

A little thought will tell you, if you're not stupid, that you have your own motives.

The only explanation is that you are Yue Beiqing's mole planted within the Demon Breath Army.

The 250,000-strong army had only been at Chenlong Pass for two days, not even having time to familiarize themselves with the terrain.

You couldn't wait to launch your attack, Fu Yanchao. Everything you've done is pushing the limits of my intelligence.

I never expected you could be so comical even when you're pretending to be stupid.

Fu Yanchao was furious: "Stop talking nonsense, Jiang Haitian. I am the commander-in-chief of the army. All arrangements must be based on my orders."

After saying this, he shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him, "Come on, seize this traitor and hand him over to the Empress for punishment."

However, not a single soldier took any action.

"What are you doing? Do you want to join the rebellion too?"

Fu Yanchao panicked completely, cold sweat dripping from his forehead to his feet.

"Do you feel helpless and isolated?"

Jiang Haitian chuckled softly and slowly took a step forward.

"Why don't I help you?"

Then he raised his hand.

"What did you call me?!"

"Dad~~~"

In an instant, the mountains roared and the sea surged.

The word "father" completely shocked Fu Yanchao.

"You, you, why..."

He looked at Jiang Haitian with disbelief.

Jiang Haitian pushed up his sunglasses: "You think I've been planning this for half a year just to go crazy in Demon City? You think I'm just throwing money around in a fit of rage? Hahaha..."

He smiled very contentedly.

"I may tell you the truth, but the 400,000-strong main force of the Demon Breath no longer belongs to the Leng family."

"What's the meaning?"

"Still haven't figured it out?" Jiang Haitian chuckled.

"In the past six months, I have already infiltrated all the military forces of Demon Breath, and even the underground forces of Demon Breath City are under my control."

While you were engaged in that ridiculous palace intrigue with Lin Xian'er and Leng Qingcheng, the Demonic Breath had already become my possession. Did you think that statement, "Outside the Demonic Breath, I am your father," was just empty talk?

Fu Yanchao was stunned. He never imagined that this man, who acted like a madman, had already secretly taken over all of the Demon Breath's forces.

"You, you..."

He tried to say something, his voice trembling, but in the end, he couldn't utter a single word.

"As for you, after tonight I will report to the Empress that you led the charge bravely and died in battle outside Shenmen Pass. This will not have been in vain for us as colleagues."

"No, no, no, no..."

Fu Yanchao immediately put on a fawning expression.

"Brother Jiang, don't forget, it was I who introduced you to the Empress. You can't treat me like this."

"Oh, we had dinner together before, have you forgotten?"

"A recommendation of five million spirit stones is no small sum. A meal? Hahahaha, that's your last meal before you're executed."

Fu Yanchao could no longer sit still and immediately crawled towards Jiang Haitian like a dog.

"Brother Jiang, no, Vice-Commander Jiang, please give me a chance. Just treat me like a dog and spare me, okay? Please!"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Haitian bent down to look at Fu Yanchao.

Then he whispered in his ear, "When I saw Yue Beiqing in the Ice and Fire Cave last night, you looked exactly the same as you do now."

"What! It was you last night?"

Do you want to know how I confirmed it was yours?

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Yan calmly walked to Jiang Haitian's side and respectfully called out, "Father!"

"You betrayed me!"

Fu Yanchao's eyes widened immediately.

"You traitor, I will definitely..."

Boom~

Before he could finish speaking, the magic bead in Jiang Haitian's hand had already been embedded hard into his head.

Fu Yanchao died in terror.

After his death, Jiang Haitian declared directly: "Now, all the garrison troops at Motian Cliff are under my command, Jiang Haitian."

My first order was to withdraw the entire army to Chenlong Pass, close the barriers on the remaining four lines of defense, and welcome Bai Qi's army to take over!

"yes!"

The Demon Realm has always taken pride in worshipping the strong, and these soldiers are no exception. They will obey any order from a strong person, no matter how outrageous it may seem.

After dealing with the matter at Shenmen Pass, Jiang Haitian turned his attention to the cliff opposite the Ice and Fire Cave.
