Shuyi Kingdom
Upon learning of Duan Tianqi's death in the Kingdom of Warriors, Duan Zhengxiu's face darkened. "What a Kingdom of Warriors! What a Kingdom of Mighty Dragons! They actually formed an alliance right under my nose! Good! Very good!"
"Your Majesty, the current situation is unfavorable to us. We urge Your Majesty to issue an order to recruit soldiers and talented individuals to prepare for battle," said a middle-aged man in a long robe, stepping forward.
"I know without you saying it!" Duan Zhengxiu coldly glanced at the middle-aged man and said, "He Wei!"
"Your subordinate is here!" A burly man in armor stepped forward.
"I command you to recruit 100,000 soldiers within seven days, by whatever means necessary!" Duan Zhengxiu said solemnly.
Before He Wei could nod, the middle-aged man in the long robe hurriedly spoke up, "Your Majesty! This is unacceptable! Seven days is too short a time. Even if we have enough time to recruit soldiers, we won't have enough provisions!"
"Bang!" Duan Zhengxiu slammed his hand on the table and stood up, pointing at the middle-aged man and shouting, "Duanmu He, what do you mean? I appointed you as the Imperial Advisor, not so you could boss me around!"
Duanmu He was shocked and immediately knelt down, saying, "Your subject dares not!"
"Dare not? I see you have your own ideas! In that case, you might as well take my place!" Duan Zhengxiu scolded.
Duanmu He shuddered and dared not say another word.
Duan Zhengxiu snorted coldly and said, "General He Wei, I will only give you seven days. If you fail to complete my mission, you will be punished according to military law!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" He Wei was sweating profusely and dared not disobey.
Duan Zhengxiu glanced coldly at Duanmu He, who was kneeling on the ground. "If I don't tell you to get up, you'll stay kneeling!" After saying that, he got up and left the hall.
Duanmu He shook his head helplessly, heartbroken, "Tyrant! Tyrant!"
—Noon
Mo Han and Mo Chen followed Li Erniang to the gates of the Warrior Kingdom.
Looking at the empty and unguarded city gate, Mo Han asked in confusion, "Why doesn't this warrior kingdom have a general to guard the city?"
"Could it be that the Samurai Kingdom has too few people to spare to guard the city?" Mo Chen thought for a moment and then asked, but immediately dismissed his idea. "No, even if that's the case, someone still needs to guard the city."
Li Erniang did not answer the two of them, but looked at the city wall and said loudly, "I am Li Xiuying, the fourth generation successor. I ask the soldiers guarding the city to come out and give me the pass."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Han and the others heard footsteps stepping onto the city wall. They saw a person with red eyes, wearing a black and gold mask, with a crescent-shaped scimitar at his waist. Dressed in black, he looked heroic and dashing. The person was none other than Di Moyue.
Di Moyue yawned and said impatiently, "People have come so early, I'm not even awake yet!"
He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the three people below the city wall. Seeing Li Erniang, he asked, "You said you are the fourth generation, do you have any token?"
"Yes, I do." Li Erniang hurriedly took out the Nine Springs Token.
Upon seeing the words "Nine Springs," Di Moyue nodded. "Yes, it is indeed true. You can go in now."
Li Erniang looked at him in surprise, "No need for a pass?"
“We don’t need that among our own people!” Di Moyue said with a chuckle.
Hearing Di Moyue's words, Li Erniang felt a warmth in her heart and said, "Thank you."
He turned to Mo Han and the other person and nodded, "Let's go."
Just as the three were about to enter the city, Di Moyue suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute!"
Li Erniang looked at Di Moyue with suspicion.
Di Moyue glanced at Li Erniang, then squinted at Mo Han and the other person and said, "You can go in, but they can't!"
Li Erniang looked at Di Moyue with suspicion, and Di Moyue explained, "The aura emanating from those two is too dangerous!"
Mo Han squinted at Di Moyue, gave a cold smile, and said nothing.
Mo Chen glanced at Di Moyue with interest and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't have said it so directly. Knowing that we are both in danger, you still dare to provoke us?"
Di Moyue drew the curved sword from her waist and said confidently, "Although you two are in danger, I still think I have a chance of winning in a one-on-one fight!"
Mo Chen couldn't help but scoff, "Ignorance is truly terrifying!"
"Why don't you play along with him?" Mo Han said with a slight smile.
Mo Chen stepped forward, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's been a long time since I've exercised!"
Di Moyue looked at Mo Chen as he stepped forward and said, "Come up here. If you can knock me off the city wall, you win!"
Mo Chen chuckled and said, "Alright!" With that, he flipped his hand, and the peach blossom fan appeared in his right hand.
Upon seeing Mo Chen's technique, Li Erniang and Di Moyue's eyes lit up, and they looked at Mo Chen with surprise.
Mo Chen smiled slightly, flipped his peach blossom fan, and then a gentle breeze came. He then leaped up the three-zhang-high city wall and landed steadily in front of Di Moyue.
Di Moyue stared in astonishment at Mo Chen, who had come before her. "There is no one in this world who can control the wind like you! Just who are you?"
Mo Chen chuckled. "In this world, I'm just an ordinary citizen, incomparable to you self-proclaimed kings!"
Di Moyue frowned and shouted, "You are not allowed to insult my lord! Take this move!"
The curved blade gleamed with a cold light, and with a strong gust of wind, it rushed towards Mo Chen's face.
Mo Chen chuckled, "Slower than the wind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Chen tilted his body at a 35° angle, quickly dodging Di Moyue's attack.
Di Moyue flicked her wrist, and the curved blade swiftly turned, stabbing fiercely towards Mo Chen. However, to Di Moyue's great surprise, just as she was about to approach the temple gate of Mo Chen, she felt as if the curved blade in her hand was obstructed, unable to advance even an inch.
Mo Chen stomped his foot and quickly retreated several meters away, smiling as he said, "That was close! You're pretty fast too!"
