“It’s not wrong. But do you think there is a difference between choosing to kneel and choosing to fight back? With the former, at least you can suffer less, while the latter is just hastening your own demise,” Mingji said, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the dim horizon, as if waiting for dawn to arrive.
“Qi Xia and North Utmost Ridge are both heavily guarded. If your Ming God Clan insists on attacking, we have the defensive advantage of the terrain. On what grounds can we not stop their advance?” Zhu Minglang stated.
“Hahahaha, relying on Qi Xia’s paltry troop strength, which is just a bunch of ordinary miscellaneous soldiers—no matter how numerous, what use are they!” The teenager Mingji burst into hearty laughter.
The corners of Zhu Minglang’s mouth involuntarily curled up.
Watching the constantly laughing teenager Mingji, Zhu Minglang finally moved forward happily and gave him a clear, resounding, and utterly satisfying slap, once again swelling up Mingji’s face!
Mingji’s eyes seemed ready to spit fire.
“Zhu Minglang, you slapped my face again!!” Mingji roared furiously, but his martial strength was paltry, not to mention he was a prisoner in bonds.
“Don’t worry, there will be plenty more opportunities, as long as you keep being as slap-worthy as you’ve been,” Zhu Minglang said with a gentle smile.
What a naive brat.
He had so easily revealed the route the Ming God Army would take to arrive here tomorrow.So the Ming God Army was coming from the direction of Qi Xia.
I was worrying about where to ambush this Ming God Army that carries the Divine Oracle Flag!
“Gentlemen, you want to rebel. I’ll keep everyone detained here, waiting for your clans and Sect Forest to pay the ransom for your release. No objections, right?” Zhu Minglang asked with a smile.
The others shook their heads hurriedly. Right now, they were tied up like pigs for sacrifice, rolling in the mud—where did they have the right to object!
Rebels are usually executed on the spot.
Zhu Minglang, with his kind heart, only wanted money!
Of course, for people like Zhao Ying and Zhou Xian, filled with resentment and anger, whether to release them was another matter altogether. Zhu Minglang, when dealing with real enemies, would not be merciful, even if the other party was the Crown Prince of the Imperial Dynasty. Now, he was nothing more than a dog groveling to the Lower God Organization!
“Mr. Zhu, what should we do with these two women?” Pang Kai came over and had the two women brought before him.
To my surprise, it was Wen Lingfei and Wen Mengru!!
Wen Lingfei’s eyes stabbed at Zhu Minglang like sharp swords.
As if there was some deep-seated hatred.
Wen Mengru, on the other hand, was better off. She knew the nature of Zhu Minglang, and even if she fell into his hands, she wouldn’t come to any harm.
“Master Wen, aren’t you unparalleled in martial arts, fearing no plots or schemes of the world? How did my simple net for catching sparrows manage to trap this grand phoenix? Later, I’ll have my mother customize for you a ten-year intense cultivation package. The mortal world is tumultuous, and it can easily distract one’s sword heart. The martial world is also perilous; better not to wander out carelessly. Once my wife and I have a couple of adorable children, I’ll send the one with the best talents to be your student. That way, we’re practically family,” Zhu Minglang said with a laugh.
Wen Lingfei was so angry her face turned bright red.
Crown Prince Zhao Ying’s goons indeed could not trap Wen Lingfei; she was confident in her own strength, so she wasn’t worried about any plots or schemes at this night’s banquet.
Little did she know that the people Zhao Ying had deployed outside had already been dealt with by Zhu Minglang.
And a group with even more terrifying strength had completely taken control of the residence. Wen Lingfei injured some, but in the end, she couldn’t overcome this man with a dusky, dirt-smeared face!
Peak King Level, Zhu Minglang actually had such powerful experts at his side!
“Zhu Minglang, what skill is there in borrowing your father’s power? If you have the guts, face me in a duel!” Wen Lingfei said.
“Apologize to my wife, or have your Sword Army return to Miao Kingdom. Choose one of these conditions, or else you will become my prisoner,” Zhu Minglang replied.
“In your dreams!” Wen Lingfei refused to submit.
“Sister, just give in a little. We are not enemies with Mr. Zhu,” Wen Mengru said.
“Shut up!” Wen Lingfei glared at her younger sister.
“Then be content being a captive. Anyway, my provisions are not bad. As long as you are my guest, your army won’t dare to advance, and it’s quite good for us to be at a stalemate like this,” Zhu Minglang stated.
An unexpected gain!
The current situation was already somewhat chaotic. If Wen Lingfei got involved again, Zhu Minglang would ultimately have to make a tough decision, which could hurt his own people.
Now, detaining Wen Lingfei would prevent a melee. Once Li Chuan had fully stabilized, he could have Meng Bingci come and fetch her. If she still wanted to wage war by then, Meng Bingci would stop her.
“Mengru, take good care of your sister. With such a great enemy before us, I must be cold in handling affairs, or else Li Chuan will suffer. Your Miao Mountain Sword Sect has the backing of a god and can be fearless, but not all the forces of the Supreme Court are favored by gods like you… Our survival depends on ourselves,” Zhu Minglang told Wen Mengru.
Wen Mengru was stunned, suddenly feeling that Zhu Minglang was much more mature than her sister.
And how did he know about the god behind the Miao Mountain Sword Sect??
“Um, um, I won’t let my sister act rashly,” Wen Mengru nodded.
…
After detaining all these people from the various forces, Zhu Minglang finally felt more at ease.
External enemies are not scary, it’s the traitors inside that are the worst.
Tomorrow morning he was going to ambush the Lower God Organization. If the rear was unstable, it would indeed cause unease.
Now it was better. Borrowing the momentum from Crown Prince Zhao Ying’s lead in a “palace coup,” he managed to suppress those forces showing signs of collaboration from within, unifying Ancestral Dragon City-State against external threats.
Before he knew it, dawn was approaching, and a dark red hue first appeared on the dim horizon.
Mi Zhongyun had previously inquired about the locations of several other Veins of the Earth entrances. Together with the crucial information disclosed by Mingji, the invading path of the Ming God Clan could be nearly confirmed.
“Brother Zhu, you’re finally back. We heard a lot of noise in the south of the city. I’m afraid something big has happened,” Mi Rong said with some concern.
“I’ve subdued the forces of Ancestral Dragon City, and now we call the shots in this city,” Zhu Minglang declared.
“Really??” Mi Zhongyun looked at Zhu Minglang in surprise.
“Heh, didn’t Brother Zhongyun send someone to follow me from a distance? Aren’t your eyes the truest witness?” Zhu Minglang laughed, his gaze falling on Mi Zhongyun.
Mi Zhongyun immediately felt embarrassingly at a loss for words.
Indeed, he had sent Qi Huan to tail Zhu Minglang to see what he was up to during the night.
To their surprise from afar, they saw Zhu Minglang lead a group of people straight into the heart of the city, taking out all the Ming God Clan’s collaborators in one fell swoop!
Although Mi Zhongyun could not comprehend how Zhu Minglang had so quickly gathered intelligence about the city, he had done just that, and the swiftness of his actions had left people dumbfounded!
