"What did you say?"
"Zhenbei City was lost?"
"And the entire city was completely wiped out???"
Questioning voices arose one after another.
The tall and burly General Zhenbei, Sheng Songde, who sat at the upper right, glared at the wailing Feng Ling Immortal and said, "Zhenbei City is impregnable, and with you four powerful gods guarding it, how could it fall so easily?"
"Does it mean that the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom has sent a certain general? But if a strong man above the Juling Divine Realm steps into the territory of our Chiyang Divine Kingdom, how could the Marquis and our four generals not sense it?" General Yan Jing of Pingbei, who was sitting at the upper left, asked.
"No, no, no, the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom did not send a general..."
Feng Ling Shangxian quickly denied it.
Yan Jing frowned and continued to ask, "Could it be that the other party sent out at least eight Condensation Level Divine Realm experts?"
“…N-No.”
"Then why did it lose?"
Sheng Songde was furious and roared, "Even if the other party sends out twenty Condensation Divine Realm warriors at once, with Zhenbei City's impenetrable magic array defense capabilities, they can hold out until the reinforcements arrive after sending out the call for help!
"Speak! How many people did the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom send, and what kind of deployment did they have to allow a bunch of you losers to lose the first barrier fortress on the front line overnight?"
The sound was so loud that it was like thunder piercing through the ears of the immortal Feng Ling, and it made his brain go dazed.
Although he knew that answering the truth would bring disaster, he didn't dare not answer. He immediately said tremblingly, "The ones attacking the city... are a divine team from the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom..."
"A divine squadron?"
Yan Jing opened his big hand and grabbed the Immortal Feng Ling tightly in his hand.
With a half-smile, he asked, "A mere divine squadron defeated your city's elite, who are protected by a protective formation?"
Feng Ling Shangxian hurriedly shouted: "Your Excellency, you don't know that the chief officer leading that divine troop is Ye Chen, the same Ye Chen who previously killed the Nine Yang Sword Immortal and shot off General Pingbei's arm..."
Upon hearing the name 'Ye Chen', dozens of powerful men in the entire hall were speechless.
Many people had expressions of horror on their faces.
Especially the General Pingbei who was sitting below. Although his injuries had healed by now, his face was still completely gloomy.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Feng Ling Shangxian struck while the iron was hot and said, "Before Ye Chen attacked Zhenbei City, I had already discovered Ye Chen's traces outside the city and ran back to Zhenbei City at the risk of my life to report to Zhenbei General Ji Yingjie. However, Lord Ji did not take it seriously and did not warn or report to the Marquis' Mansion in advance, which led to such a disaster... Later, I fought desperately to escape from the city, at the cost of an arm and a damaged dantian, and only then did I reluctantly come back to report the news, Lord!!"
After finishing speaking, Immortal Feng Ling burst into tears again, with tears streaming down his face, as if he was extremely sad and remorseful.
But what he said just now was to clear himself of all faults, both openly and covertly, and put all the blame on Ji Yingjie and others.
At this moment, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who had been silent the whole time, said calmly, "If that's the case, then why are all your wounds fresh?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Feng Ling Shangxian's crying stopped abruptly, as if someone had strangled her throat, and she looked at Zhenbei Hou in horror.
When he met the deep eyes of Zhenbei Hou, Feng Ling Shangxian trembled immediately. He knew that the other party had seen through his lies.
"My Lord, please spare me! My Lord, please spare me!!"
The Immortal Feng Ling kowtowed to the Marquis of Zhenbei again and again, and did not stop even when his head was bleeding.
"Incompetent waste, what use is there for me to keep you here?"
As he spoke, the Marquis of Zhenbei raised his hand, and countless starlights penetrated the body of the Feng Ling Immortal, actually beating him to pieces.
The latter's eyes instantly became empty, and his body fell to the ground like a sandbag.
The muffled sound made everyone in the hall look terrified, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the strength of Zhenbei Hou was indeed powerful, a strong man at the peak of the middle stage of Condensation Force was killed in seconds with just a flick of his hand.
General Sheng Songde of Zhenbei looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei and said respectfully, "My Lord, in my opinion, this kid named Ye Chen must have some kind of treasure that can break the magic circle. Otherwise, with his cultivation level of the ninth forging of the divine body, he would never be able to break into Zhenbei City!"
"This boy is indeed gifted. Furthermore, he possesses some invaluable treasures that he found from who knows where. This is why he possesses a strength comparable to that of a peak Condensation Divine Realm cultivator..."
Pingbei General Yan Jing sneered and added, "However, that's because we didn't take it seriously before. Now is the time to calm down the small storm he stirred up!"
"General Yan is absolutely right."
Sheng Songde nodded slightly, looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei and said, "My Lord, since Ye Chen has now joined the Pingnan General's Mansion of the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom, then we must naturally march forward with a large army and launch a massive attack, to fight tooth for tooth and eye for eye!
If Ye Chen dares to attack one of our cities, then we will flatten at least two cities in his Xuanbing Divine Kingdom. This will have a deterrent effect and let the other five great Divine Kingdoms know the consequences of offending our Chiyang Divine Kingdom! "
“That’s right!”
A general below also shouted: "And we must ask the Xuanbing Divine Kingdom to hand over Ye Chen. If Ye Chen is not handed over, we will not withdraw our troops!"
"Yes! We will never stop fighting!"
The remaining generals shouted in unison.
Marquis Zhenbei looked at the excited scene below, a deep glint in his eyes.
He said slowly, "This Marquis understands your intentions, but recently the Anguo Duke's Mansion in the Thunder God Nation has been putting pressure on me, saying that their young master has disappeared under my jurisdiction... Plus, the Hundred Marquises War is about to begin, so now is not the time to start an all-out war..."
General Sheng Songde, the Zhenbei general, immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you only need to stay in the rear to support the battle. General Yan Jing and I will personally lead the army to destroy General Pingnan's mansion and capture Ye Chen alive and present him to us!"
As soon as these words were spoken, General Yan Jing of Pingbei also stood up and responded, "I am willing to go with General Sheng!"
Seeing that the two generals were about to march out at the same time, the generals below all stood up and shouted loudly:
"I am willing to follow the two great generals to fight the enemy!"
"I will never return home until I capture Ye Chen alive!"
"I am willing to go with you!"
“…”
The generals responded one after another.
This is a rare opportunity to gain military merit!
With two great generals personally taking action and the Marquis of Zhenbei personally leading the charge, not to mention a small General Pingnan's Mansion, even the General Zhennan's Mansion, the General Zhengnan's Mansion, and the General Annan's Mansion around it could be easily destroyed as if taking something out of a bag.
Not only can you gain military merit, but you can also get a lot of resources and benefits. Why not do it?
Seeing the generals' excitement, the Marquis of Zhenbei nodded slightly and said loudly:
"In that case, then... send the troops!"
