"That Dragon Breaks the Heavens isn't an idiot. Can he let us leave?" Meng Zhi mocked himself.
"How hard is that?" Father, please look! " As Meng Lang spoke, he urged his horse forward and shouted towards Ye Tian, "Dragon Breaks the Heavens wants my father to surrender and give me a taste of his halberd." Next, he saw Meng Lang suddenly swing the halberd in his hand towards Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was shocked upon seeing this. At this time, Zhang Tianlei cried out in alarm, "Shield soldiers protect His Majesty. That Meng Lang was born with immense strength. His Majesty is in danger. Quickly retreat!"
At this moment, dozens of shield soldiers appeared in front of Ye Tian to help him resist the incoming long halberd. Then, with a loud bang, the shield was instantly pierced through by the long halberd and the shield soldiers fell to the ground. However, the momentum of the long halberd did not diminish as it shot straight towards Ye Tian.
"Haha, Dragon Rends the Sky! I can take your dog life with a single halberd strike!" Seeing this, the distant Meng Lang began to laugh wildly. However, just as the halberd was about to hit Ye Tian, a long spear suddenly appeared and sent the halberd flying.
"Hu!" When Ye Tian saw this, he let out a long sigh of relief. He focused his eyes and saw that it was a soldier dressed in armor. Ye Tian was just about to praise him for his bravery, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was Zhang Lin.
"You?" Ye Tian exclaimed.
"Greetings, your Majesty." Zhang Lin hurriedly kowtowed.
"Lin Zui? "Hehe, get up. Thank you for saving me." Ye Tian naturally understood the reason why Zhang Lin did not use his original name, and did not expose him. However, when that Heavenly Thunder saw his grandson who had already been beheaded, tears immediately flowed down his face. If he was not in front of the two armies, he would have definitely walked up to Ye Tian and kowtowed to show his gratitude.
After that, Ye Tian steadied his mind and shouted to Meng Gumo, "Meng Gumo, I hope you will be lucky next time around. I'll forgive you this time and let you go back and regroup." After saying that, Ye Tian gave the order to call for reinforcements. This caused Meng Zhi, who was prepared to give the order to fight to the death, to be stunned.
After returning to the black city, Zhang Tianlei hurriedly went to pay his respects to Ye Tian after settling his matters. Seeing Zhang Tianlei, who had a face full of gratitude, trembling as he knelt in front of him, Ye Tian smiled and helped him up, "Hehe, Old General, what are you doing? Even if we win the battle today, you don't need to be so excited, right?"
Zhang Tianlei stopped his trembling body as he said excitedly: "Sigh, Your Majesty, please don't tease this old official. This old official has come to thank Your Majesty for his kindness, and His Majesty was able to secretly release that unfilial son of his without regard for the past grudges, so the Zhang Family's incense burner will not be extinguished. Your Majesty's grace is vast, this old official is truly unable to repay you."
Zhang family is the pillar of our Chang Long Empire. Even if Zhang Lin is at fault, we will not ruthlessly destroy your Zhang family's incense, and this can also be considered as a reward to your Zhang family for protecting Chang Long Empire. Old General, you don't need to thank me anymore. Ye Tian smiled.
After some hard work, Zhang Tianlei walked in with Zhang Lin.
"Sinner Zhang Lin pays his respects to Your Majesty." The moment Zhang Lin entered, he was the first to kneel before Ye Tian.
"Hehe, get up, Zhang Lin. Why did you appear in the army and change your name to Lin Zui?" Ye Tian asked.
"In reply to Your Majesty, after Your Majesty released me and Yu Fei, I left the Imperial City. When I heard that Your Majesty personally conscripted the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, I thought Your Majesty's grace was too great and I was unable to repay this sin in any way, so I sent Your Majesty away and snuck into the army to protect Your Majesty from the shadows." Zhang Lin kowtowed.
"Haha, you are considerate. If it were not for you today, I'm afraid that my life would have ended." Ye Tian sighed.
"Heh heh, your majesty Hongtian, your majesty is safe and sound even without any sinners." Zhang Lin laughed.
"Alright, let's not talk about this first. I've summoned you here to ask your opinion on the next steps for the barbarian army." Ye Tian asked.
Your Majesty, please forgive this old official for speaking so bluntly. Your Majesty should not have let that Meng Zhi leave today. Today, the barbarian army is exhausted after being tortured by the Illusory Smoke Formation. Your Majesty, you only need to give the order and my one hundred thousand men will completely annihilate the fifty thousand barbarian army. Zhang Tianlei grumbled.
"Hehe, old general, you are wrong. Although the fifty thousand barbarians led by Meng Jiao are exhausted after being tormented by the Smoke Illusion Formation, but if we give the order to attack, they will certainly fight back in the face of death, and even if we win, we will still suffer a crushing victory. Moreover, the southeast water disaster is chaotic, and it is not suitable for us to fight to the death with the barbarians." Hehe, old general, today, even though Meng Zhi's fifty thousand barbarians are tormented by the Smoke Illusion Array, but if we attack, they will certainly fight back. Ye Tian laughed.
"So Your Majesty wants to subdue that Meng Gum for your own use. No wonder Your Majesty would release that Meng Gum today." Zhang Lin sighed.
Your Majesty, this old official thinks that after Meng Gumo leads the troops back to the cold mountain, they will definitely rest for a period of time. We might as well take this opportunity to attack and harass them. Zhang Tianlei suggested.
"Mm, that makes sense. Go gather all the generals here to meet me, I have my own arrangements." Ye Tian instructed. After a while, all the generals appeared in Ye Tian's hall. When everyone had arrived, Ye Tian said, "Generals, right now, the civil strife caused by the southeast flood has yet to subside, I am not willing to fight with Meng Zhi too hard, so I let him go today. However, this does not mean that I am not planning to quell the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain's chaos.
"This subject obeys the decree. Please give me your orders, Your Majesty." The generals replied in unison.
"En, very good. Lin Zui, go forward and receive your seal." Ye Tian spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Lin immediately rushed forward and kowtowed, "This general is here."
"Lin Zui, you have done a great service by protecting our emperor today. We shall grant you the title of guard in front of our palace. From now on, follow by my side." Ye Tian spoke.
"This humble subject obeys the decree and thanks Your Majesty for his grace." Zhang Lin said.
"Yes, Xu Hongfei." Ye Tian continued.
"This humble subject is here!" Hearing this, Xu Hongfei hurriedly knelt down and said.
"Right now, you will be promoted to the first general on the right side of Ping Nan. Immediately lead 10,000 troops to station near the Frigid Mountain. You must be careful not to let that Meng Jiao discover your whereabouts. Understood?" Ye Tian instructed.
"This humble subject obeys the decree." After saying that, Xu Hongfei retreated to the side.
"Old General Zhang, send someone to spread the rumours that I have been frightened by Meng Lang's halberd attack and have fallen ill. Remember to make Meng Jiao believe that I am sick. Do you understand?" Ye Tian spoke again.
"This humble subject understands." Zhang Tianlei said.
"Yes, the other generals will carry out their duties and be ready to attack at any time." Ye Tian instructed.
After the generals left, Xu Hongfei bowed and said, "I wonder why His Majesty wants this humble subject to lead 10,000 troops to the cold mountains?"
"Ke ke, General Xu is a smart person. Can you not guess our intentions?" Ye Tian asked.
"Does Your Majesty want me to burn the food of the barbarian army?" But how can this humble official, a mere ten thousand troops, burn down the grain that is guarded by fifty thousand barbarians? " Xu Hongfei said with a bitter face.
"Ke ke, General Xu, there is no need to worry. At that time, the Han Mountain Barbarian Army's encampment will be empty." Ye Tian spoke with an enigmatic tone.
"Since Your Majesty has spoken, this humble subject shall obey." Xu Hongfei withdrew as he spoke.
One day later, Meng Gum, who was sitting in his tent, heard his spies' report that Ye Tian was lying sick in bed due to fright. He immediately asked the generals in confusion, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you think this news is reliable?"
"Young General's might is peerless, that Dragon Breaks the Heavens is already used to living like a prince, it is not impossible for him to be scared sick. From what I see, if the King were to march straight to Dragon Breaks the Heavens' camp right now, he would definitely capture Dragon Breaks the Heavens alive." At this time, a big fellow stood up and said.
Hearing the words of the man, Meng Lang's face was filled with pride and arrogance. He stood up and said, "Father, how could that Dragon Rend the Heavens be worthy of such praise? I almost took his life with a single halberd strike the day before. This time, your son will lead the troops to the camp and capture that Dragon Rend the Heavens."
"What big words, just capture him. That Dragon Breaks the Heavens sent a huge army of 100,000 this time. Not to mention a hundred thousand, but even if you killed them all, it would still be enough for you to kill them all." Hearing that, Meng Zhi immediately scolded.
This Meng Lang seemed to be extremely afraid of Meng Zhi. In the face of Meng Zhi's scolding, he immediately shut his mouth and sat down obediently, not daring to say anything. Seeing this, Meng Zhi ignored him and said, "From what we saw last time, that Dragon Breaks the Heavens is also a very intelligent person. This time, without confirming whether it is real or fake, we will first do our best to stay put and send more spies to investigate the situation."
"Yes." Everyone said in unison when they heard this.
After Ye Tian let out the news that he was sick, the barbarian army didn't see Meng Zhi for a long time. They also began to worry. Three days later, Ye Tian once again gathered the generals to discuss the countermeasures.
When noon arrived, that bolt of lightning finally arrived. Ye Tian, upon seeing this, asked with a gloomy expression, "Old General Zhang, I called for the generals to discuss the countermeasures this morning. Why did you only arrive at noon? You made me and the generals wait for you for several hours."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this old subject has grown old and overslept in a short period of time. I beg for Your Majesty's forgiveness." Zhang Tianlei bowed.
"Overslept? "Hmph, why do you reek of alcohol? Now that the war is approaching, you, as the vanguard general, are completely drunk. How dare you! Men, come! Take Zhang Tianlei down and behead him with the discipline of a soldier!" Ye Tian shouted.
"What did you say?" You want to kill me? Do you know who called back this Jiang Shan from Chang Long Empire? " Zhang Tianlei roared in anger upon hearing this.
"Old fool, what are you saying? Come, drag them out and kill them!" Ye Tian was furious.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The old general spoke nonsense only when he was still drunk. Please forgive him because of the old general's past achievements." When the generals saw this, they hurriedly knelt down.
"Humph, Zhang Tianlei, although you have rendered insignificant merits, but don't forget that we are the true lord. You are a subject, yet you actually dared to offend us. You are truly unforgivable." Ye Tian ignored the rest of the generals as he directly pointed at Zhang Tianlei.
Since that's the case, then I will say this clearly. Although you are the master of the Dragon Rend Tian, you have done nothing, just take the previous day, Meng Lang's halberd almost scared you to the point of peeing your pants. Originally, Meng Lang's tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers were exhausted by the Smoke Illusion Formation, and this was the best opportunity for me to destroy Meng Gum and bring him back to the Frigid Mountain. Zhang Tianlei said as he raised his head.
"You ? you ? someone, drag this old fart out and cut him off. This is so infuriating." Ye Tian covered his chest as he shouted in anger.
"If you want to kill this old man, then come! Let the world see how you, a child of the Dragon Breaks the Heavens, slaughtered a meritorious general. When you executed my only grandson in secret, this old man will tolerate it." Zhang Tianlei roared.
"What are you standing there for? This old man is crazy. Drag him out and kill him." Ye Tian clutched his chest as he stood up and shouted.
"Old General, don't say anymore. Hurry up and apologize to His Majesty." The high-ranking officers below urged one after another.
"Hmph, you admit your wrongs. This ignorant child has only been the emperor for a few days, yet you're already this arrogant. This old man has endured you for a long time. At worst, you'll just die." Zhang Tianlei arrogantly said.
"Why aren't you guys fighting? Are you trying to rebel?" Ye Tian shouted out when he saw that none of the generals were able to take Zhang Tianlei down. Zhang Lin, who was standing at the side, quickly stepped forward and pressed Zhang Tianlei to the ground as he shouted, "Zhang Tianlei, hurry up and plead guilty to His Majesty. Do you really want to die?"
"Humph, a mere soldier can be conferred the title of general. In this old man's entire life, I have made many meritorious deeds, yet I still end up with a grandson killed. I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this, I refuse to accept this, and I refuse to accept this even if I die." Zhang Tianlei shouted.
"Old man, you are tired of living. Men, take this old man under guard and kill him in front of the army. We will personally supervise his execution." Ye Tian clenched his teeth as he spoke.
"Understood." Zhang Lin said as he called for his left and right guards to escort Zhang Tianlei out.
The generals were shocked and quickly kowtowed. "Your Majesty, Old General Zhang has done a great service. If we just kill him like this, it will affect our morale. Besides, the war is imminent. It is not suitable to behead a general before the battle."
"Sigh, I know this as well, but that old man is too presumptuous. He doesn't even have an emperor in his eyes. I won't take this lying down if I don't kill him." Ye Tian sighed.
"Your Majesty, even though Old General Zhang is rude, your Majesty will always consider him a general. Furthermore, since he is already old, please spare him." The crowd pleaded once again.
"Forget it. This time, I will let this old man go. I will settle his debts when my teacher returns to the imperial court." Ye Tian clenched his teeth as he spoke. He then got up and walked outside.
"Zhang Tianlei, you are extremely arrogant. Not only did you get drunk during the battle, but you also insulted me in front of everyone, I had originally planned to kill him before the army arrived to uphold the military discipline of the army, but the generals all begged for mercy and said that he was old and was a merciful man, so they decided to listen to the advice of the generals and spare Zhang Tianlei's life. However, you can avoid death and live a life of desecration." Ye Tian slowly said in a cold voice.
"Hmph, kid, don't you dare say anything nice here. If you want to kill me, that's fine with a single slash. Why are you tormenting me like this?" Zhang Tianlei harrumphed coldly.
"Beat this old man until he can't even speak." Ye Tian immediately shouted upon hearing this.
Hearing this, the left and right bodyguards immediately took Zhang Tianlei to the side and began to fight.
"Haha, little Dragon Breaks the Heavens, are you angry? Oh right, everyone, do you know how my grandson was killed? "If you can't even protect your own concubine, you can just give up the position of a sage and give up your position." Zhang Tianlei laughed maniacally as he was hit.
"Scoundrel, I've beheaded him." Ye Tian pulled out a guard's saber and walked towards Zhang Tianlei, wanting to kill him on the spot.
Seeing this, all the generals came forward to Ye Tian Lai and pleaded, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Old General Zhang has been beaten with fifty military sticks for three days. Even if he survived, he would be crippled. Your Majesty, please spare him."
"That's right, I don't know what's going on with Old General Zhang today, but he's saying all sorts of crazy things. Your Majesty, please don't lower yourself to the same level as him." Everyone began talking.
"Good, very good. You all are truly worthy of being brought out by Zhang Tianlei. For this old man to humiliate us and even plead on his behalf, you all truly infuriate us to death." Ye Tian threw the sabre in his hand onto the ground and turned around to walk into the hall. But after walking a few steps, Ye Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. When he saw the situation, he shouted out, "Your majesty has fainted, quickly call the imperial physician."
Following that, Ye Tian was escorted in by the crowd. When Zhang Lin saw everyone carry Ye Tian in, he ordered the guards: "Beat him ruthlessly. Beat this old man to death, and he actually angered His Majesty to such an extent. This is a crime that cannot be forgiven."
Gradually, Zhang Tianlei was beaten to the point where he could only breathe. Just as he was about to be killed, a general walked out and shouted, "Still not stopping? Do you really want to kill Old General Zhang?" This person was a student of Zhang Tianlei. He had always been extremely respectful to Zhang Tianlei. Seeing Zhang Tianlei being beaten to such a state, he was naturally extremely angry.
"Hmph, this old man actually dares to humiliate His Majesty. His Majesty did not behead him, which is already the greatest gift. Don't tell me that you want to disobey the decree?" Zhang Lin shouted.
"Hmph, the king is already unconscious right now, if there's anything you need to say just wait for him to wake up, you are nothing but a soldier. If you didn't have the luck to save his majesty, then you would have been conferred the title of general. What right do you have to bark at me and move aside? Otherwise, don't blame me for being blind with my treasured sword." As the man spoke, he prepared to draw his sword.
"Fine, you win. When His Majesty wakes up, I will definitely play the part of his Majesty. Just you wait." Zhang Lin threw down his harsh words and left.
After a few hours, Meng Zhi received the news. However, as Meng Zhi was a calm person, he did not act rashly. He only quietly listened to the scout's report.
"Father, now that Dragon Breaks the Heavens has fallen ill, Zhang Tianlei is considered crippled. They will definitely have unstable morale. If we were to attack now, we would definitely be like a hot knife through butter." Meng Lang said excitedly.
"Let's wait first. We will act after we've confirmed whether it is real or fake. A few days ago, don't be scared by that Dragon Breaks the Heavens, there was another report of a falling out with Zhang Tianlei today, and he immediately vomited blood and fainted. I feel that there is something fishy about this matter." Meng Zhi lightly replied.
"What's so strange about that? Dragon Breaks the Heavens was frightened by your child's halberd strike the day before yesterday, but now that you've been angered by Zhang Tianlei, you can't help but vomit blood. But that Heavenly Lightning is really something, to actually bring up the matter of his grandson being kidnapped by Dragon Breaks the Heavens's favorite concubine, haha, that Dragon Breaks the Heavens must have felt ashamed and fainted because of that." Meng Lang said.
"Hehe, my son is right, an emperor being humiliated in public is a very embarrassing thing to do. How about this, send more people to investigate and confirm it, then we will send out troops at night to go to the camp and capture that kid, Dragon Breaks the Heavens. This is indeed a good opportunity." Meng Zhi laughed.
When night came, the scouts came back to report that Ye Tian had woken up, but they did not look good. The first thing Ye Tian did when he woke up was to order his men to beat Zhang Tianlei down in the camp, while at the same time expelling the general who had released Zhang Tianlei. At the same time, he also said that the soldiers of Chang Long's camp were unstable, and that Ye Tian had signs of withdrawing their troops.
After Meng Ge heard the report, he immediately ordered the entire army to gather. After the sky darkened, they headed towards the black city. These people were all wearing the clothes of Chang Long Army. At the beginning, Meng Zhi thought that they had fallen into their trap, but when he got closer, he realized that these people were all light dressed, and there weren't many of them, only a few thousand people. Therefore, Meng Ge sent someone to question them.
His name was Song Qian and he could be considered a strong general. Meng Jiao ordered someone to bring Song Qian to him and asked, "It is said that you are leading troops to Han Mountain with the intention of joining Ben Wang?"
"That's right. This general really doesn't like what that Dragon Breaks the Heavens did. Therefore, this general is preparing to lead his soldiers to go to the Barbarian King." Song Qian cupped his hands together and said.
"Hmph, then do you think that Dragon Breaks the Ranks and Zhang Tianlei can trick This King with a trifling stratagem?" "Ridiculous! Men, drag this man out and kill him!" Meng Jie snorted coldly.
When Song Qian heard this, he did not panic. Instead, he sneered, "I originally thought that the Barbarian King was a formidable figure of his generation, which is why I led my troops to this place. I didn't expect him to be such a suspicious villain. With that, Song Qian pushed aside the left and right guards and walked outside.
Seeing this, Meng Gum frowned and said, "Tell This King how This King can trust you."
I think the Barbarian King came here with the troops to plunder the camp. How about this, the west gate guards of Black City will mostly be my old tribe, the Barbarian King only needs to send people with my token to go there, and they will open the gate for you. When the time comes, the Barbarian King will lead the army from the west to charge into the palace of the Dragon Breaks the Heavens. I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the way as the Barbarian King. Song Qian said with a serious expression.
"Haha, good. With what the general has said, This King is relieved. Men, gather the three armies and set off for the west gate of Black City immediately." Hearing this, Meng Zhi laughed loudly.
An hour later, Meng Zhi and his fifty thousand barbarian soldiers appeared outside the west gate of the Black City. The garrison troops on the upper floor were all on the verge of collapse, and Meng Jie looked around and slightly nodded at the general beside him. That general immediately took out a command medallion from the west gate, tied it to an arrow, and shot it toward the city gate.
After a long while, the city gates opened with a creaking sound. When Song Qian saw this, he said, "Barbarian King, once the city gates open, I will lead the army to lead the way. Let's go straight to Dragon Breaks the Heavens' chamber. As long as we capture Dragon Breaks the Heavens, then the Changlong army will have no leader."
"General Song's words, combine my thoughts, charge!" Meng Jiao shouted.
The sound of fifty thousand barbarians' shouts shook the skies. Under Song Qian's lead, they charged towards Ye Tian's sleeping quarters. Although they encountered some resistance on the way, under the iron hooves of the fifty thousand barbarians, they arrived outside Ye Tian's sleeping quarters within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Barbarian King, that Dragon Breaks the Heavens is one of them. I shall recruit the old tribes to surrender, and the Barbarian King shall lead his men to them." After Song Qian finished speaking, he left with his men, regardless of whether Meng Zhi agreed or not.
Seeing this, Meng Zhi frowned as he felt that something wasn't right. However, since the attacks were coming in, he couldn't care less. He immediately ordered for them to enter Ye Tian's chambers. However, there was no one inside.
Seeing this, Meng Zhi shouted, "Not good, we've fallen into a trap. Quickly retreat!" However, before he could turn his horse, he found that the rain of arrows was coming from all directions. Then, countless soldiers of Chang Long rushed out from all directions. The barbarian army immediately suffered numerous casualties.
Meng Zhi looked at the numerous barbarians surrounding him and shouted angrily, "Dragon Breaks the Heavens! You despicable scumbag! Come out for this king! This king will kill you!"
"Haha, I haven't seen the Barbarian King in a long time." At this moment, Ye Tian appeared on a high platform in the distance and cupped his hands towards Meng Jia.
"Father, son, take you out of this encirclement." At this time, Meng Lang sent several Changlong soldiers flying and appeared in front of Meng Zhi as he said this.
"Withdraw." Meng Zhi ignored Ye Tian's words and shouted to the surrounding barbarians.
"Haha! Generals, listen to me. Capture or kill a barbarian soldier and reward him with five hundred gold coins. Capture or kill the Meng father and son duo and directly bestow them with the title of marquis." Ye Tian called out from the high platform.
All the soldiers roared and rushed towards the retreating barbarian army. In their eyes, these guys were just spending money for free. When Ye Tian saw this, a smile appeared on his face. He immediately turned around and asked Zhang Lin, "How is Old General Zhang, are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. With the Imperial Physician's meticulous care, Grandfather is no longer injured. He has been blaming himself for not being able to take care of the enemy. Otherwise, fifty military staffs wouldn't be enough to stop him from fighting." Zhang Lin bowed.
"En, it's good that you're fine. If it wasn't for the fact that Old General Zhang and I were playing a dirty trick on each other, that wily old fox Meng Jiao wouldn't have been fooled. I'll thank Old General Zhang properly later on." Ye Tian laughed.
At this time, Song Qian stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, the barbarians have been utterly defeated. Should we take advantage of this victory to pursue them?"
"Hur hur, no rush, proceed according to plan." Ye Tian smiled.
"Understood." When Song Qian heard this, he immediately turned around and left. He then heard the entire army of the Chang Long Army shout out, "Barbarian King Meng Ge, considering your age, my Emperor will not be able to make it anymore. This time, he will let you go, but this matter will not last long.
"How outrageous! The child of the Dragon Breaks the Heavens has gone too far!" Hearing that, Meng Zhi immediately became angry.
"Forget it, Father. Let's go first. If not, it would be bad if that Dragon Breaks the Heavens goes back on his word and sends troops to chase him down. Let's go back to the base first and fight another day. Next time, we must capture and kill that arrogant Dragon Breaks the Heavens." Meng Lang advised.
At this moment, one of the generals stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, it's not good. That cold mountain was lost, and all the food was burned to nothingness."
"What did you say?" "Who did this?" Hearing that, Meng Zhi lost his balance and fell off his horse.
"It's the Changlong Army. When we set out to attack the black city, we didn't know where they came from, but they immediately occupied the empty mountains and burned all our grain." The general replied.
"Damn it! Send orders to all of you to turn around! This King will go all out against that Dragon Breaks the Heavens!" Meng Zhi shouted in anger.
"Father, please don't! Our army is already exhausted, and we don't have much left to fight. Now that the Frigid Mountain Grasses have been burnt, we should consider what to do next. We shouldn't be impulsive and fight to the death with that Dragon Breaks the Heavens!" Meng Lang advised.
"Sigh, my child, you've grown up and I'm very gratified. Now is indeed not the time to fight it out with you, send orders for the entire army to advance towards the southeast, and we'll take a detour back to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain. As long as we return to the Southern Barbaric Nether Domain, we can reorganize our troops and battle again."
"In order to prevent the army of the Dragon Breaks the Heavens from chasing us, we have ordered the entire army to advance in light attire. As long as we pass through the sky valley in the southeast, we can quickly return to the Southern Barbaric Country. Hmph, that Dragon Breaks the Heavens would never imagine that I would not return to the cold mountain, otherwise, he wouldn't have burned down my food." Meng Zhi continued.
However, not long after Meng Zhi and his army had entered the Heaven Viewing Valley, shouts of war erupted from all directions. The one leading them was Xu Hongfei, who laughed loudly and said, "Haha, Meng Zifei, you can't imagine it, right? His Majesty must have had a brilliant plan, to order me to burn down your grain before coming to the Heaven Viewing Valley to ambush you.
"Dragon Rends the Sky." Hearing this, Meng Zhi gritted her teeth and said.
Xu Hongfei laughed coldly, "It seems like you do not plan to surrender. Then let's have a taste of the feast that we prepared for you." Following which, countless gigantic fireballs rolled down from the two sides of the valley, turning the valley into a sea of fire.
Meng Lang and a group of soldiers rushed left and right to protect Meng Jiao, but the fire was too big and they couldn't rush out for a while. Meng Zhi was about to be killed by the sea of fire when the soldiers on both sides of the valley suddenly threw countless bags of water into the valley below. The fire in the valley was put out quite a bit.
Following that, Xu Hongfei and his subordinates coaxed him and directly captured the already exhausted Meng Li and his son.
Heh heh, the Barbarian King is your lucky day. His Majesty said that you had to live, or else you would be buried in a sea of fire. Men, escort the Barbarian King, Meng Li and his son back to Black City. Xu Hongfei laughed.
