"I don't understand. Since you have such good intuition, how come you didn't notice anything unusual after playing several rounds of mahjong with You Junda?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"Well... I suppose that spirit of the one surnamed You didn't intend to harm me, so my spiritual senses didn't give me a warning?" Tongxuan blinked, explaining, but he still seemed a little confused.
Wang Yao nodded repeatedly. He also had spiritual senses and could accept this explanation. On the Zhanghuang Express, the two butterfly spirits used hypnotic magic on him. Since they didn't intend to take his life, his spiritual senses didn't warn him. At the time, he thought his spiritual sense level was too low.
It seems that whether or not one's intuition is effective is closely related to whether the other party is hostile.
"Hmm... I had a feeling too, but it wasn't the appearance of an immortal. What I discovered was a transparent figure, extremely agile, similar to the one I encountered on the front lines of the Liang tribe. Back in Muyi City, I thought I had misjudged it." Lady Lian nodded slightly.
"If that's the case, does that spirit still remain in the City of Mothers? What about my beautiful child Jinxiu...?" Lady Lian was immediately worried about Jinxiu's safety after hearing Wang Yao describe the spirit in such a terrifying way.
“Madam, there’s no need to worry. That spirit is only effective against immortals. Your races in the Holy Domain cannot be inhabited by spirits. Spirits can only do things like sneak attacks. Princess Jinxiu isn’t alone in Mother City, so she should be safe,” Tongxuan hurriedly advised.
"No, I can't leave Jinxiu in Muyi City. I have to go back immediately." Lady Lian was not persuaded by Tongxuan and her tone became even more anxious. After all, Jinxiu was related to the future of the entire Yi Clan, and there could be no mishaps.
"All of you, return to Muyi City first to protect Jinxiu," Lady Lian ordered her personal guards.
“Elder Tongxuan, Master Pudu, since we are all in the same boat now, I won’t stand on ceremony.” Lady Lian turned to look at Tongxuan and Pudu.
"I would like to trouble you two to make a trip to the Liang and Shu tribes respectively. As long as they are willing to cease hostilities and maintain the existing territories of the two tribes, my Sleeping Guards will immediately abandon the attack. Please go and see what the two tribes are thinking," said Lady Lian.
Lady Lian was a ruthless and ambitious woman who knew when to yield and when to stand firm. Once she realized that her stronghold was unstable, she immediately made a concession and no longer planned to take immediate revenge on the Shu and Liang tribes.
Moreover, with Tongxuan and Pudu here now, there's no need to send my own children to the two clans to take risks. Therefore, I made up my mind to immediately ask the two of them to come.
Tongxuan and Pudu, having a favor to ask of Lady Lian, naturally agreed without hesitation. Besides, while this kind of work was extremely risky for the Yi Clan warriors, it was relatively safe for the two of them, since the Holy Domain clans had no precedent of arbitrarily killing immortals and monks.
Moreover, given their cultivation levels, even if they couldn't take the head of a general amidst a vast army, they would still be quite confident in escaping. The only thing left to worry about is their spiritual essence.
But since Tongxuan wanted to realize his ambitions in the Holy Domain, how could he not take the risks? He was confident that with his cultivation, he could not say that killing the spirit body would be easy, but escaping would probably not be too difficult.
After discussing it, the two decided that Pudu would go to the Liang tribe, since the discovery of the spirit body there had been confirmed, while Tongxuan would choose the Shu tribe, which was nearby and had not yet seen the spirit body.
Watching the two figures disappear, Lady Lian ordered the warriors of the Yi tribe to wait for the outcome on the spot. She then assigned Gao Xiaogui to stay behind with her Yi tribe's technological troops to handle any contingencies. After that, she summoned Commander Lang and headed straight for Mother City.
Lady Lian and her daughter Jinxiu are of one mind; she can sense whether anything has happened to Jinxiu.
She had previously sent all her personal guards back, and now that she hadn't received any bad news from Jinxiu, Lady Lian remained calm and composed despite her concern for Jinxiu's safety. She didn't show any signs of panic.
Along the way, Lady Lian and Commander Lang talked as they walked, and they basically guessed the enemy's intentions. According to Commander Lang, the enemy's fundamental goal was to completely cripple the Zhang Huang clan in the Eastern Sichuan Continent, so they had begun to infiltrate, divide, and disintegrate the Zhang Huang clan early on.
Given the personalities of the Second Elder and Lang Ren, they would never dare to take such a risk without outside help. But where could they find such help? Therefore, they had to involve the Yi Clan. After all, in the Eastern Continent, the only one who could pose a threat to the Zhanghuang Clan was the Yi Clan.
First, the Second Elder and Lang Ren colluded with the spirits sent by their adversaries. One side caused trouble in Mother City, while the other side provoked conflict on the border between the two tribes, thus angering Lady Lian and triggering a war between the two tribes.
Then, at the crucial moment, the Second Elder and Lang Ren slaughtered dozens of Yi Clan warriors who had been captured by Commander Lang and the powerful members of the Zhang Huang Clan and were planning to bargain with Lady Lian. This completely ruined Commander Lang's plan to seek reconciliation between the two clans and left Commander Lang with no time to spare, so he could only concentrate on dealing with the Yi Clan's attack.
"Madam, you are wise. Commander Lang truly had no intention of harming your daughters. It was Tang Jin and Lang Ren who colluded with foreign enemies to plot rebellion, killing two birds with one stone. This not only completely destroyed my Zhanghuang clan but also caused considerable losses to the Yi clan!" Commander Lang shook his head and sighed.
Lady Lian's opinion differed from that of Commander Lang. She believed that the enemy's target should be her Yi tribe. It was obvious, after all. The Yi tribe had been besieged by three surrounding tribes. If it weren't for the unity of their tribe, their losses might have been greater than those of the Zhang Huang tribe.
"Your Zhang Huang clan is a case of internal strife. Why go through all this trouble to destroy it? With Tang Jin and your precious son's behavior, if things don't go wrong this time, they will in the future."
"As for my Yi clan, if it weren't for your incompetent leadership and poor discipline, allowing a treacherous person to take advantage of your flawed nature, how could my Yi clan have suffered such a great loss, with all the Sleeping Guards we've accumulated over the past century being completely wiped out?"
