Jade Peak Pass, in the city tower. Ye Guxing looked at the sand table in front of him with a frown.
The other generals beside him were also silent with grave expressions.
The enemy had a 500,000-strong army and was brave and ferocious.
The Wolf King had the capability of a late-stage Transcendence realm. Coupled with his inborn divine strength, even Ye Guxing was not his match.
There were no more than 50,000 guards in Jade Peak Pass now. Even if they had the geographical advantage, it was still a mammoth task to stop the Wolf King’s 500,000 men army.
As for the troops he had brought along and the reinforcements he had ordered to transfer over from other places, it would take at least two days for everyone to rush over.
If the Wolf King’s army launched an all-out siege, then Jade Peak Pass might not be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived.
Therefore, he had to think of a way to delay the Wolf King’s army here.
Otherwise, if Jade Peak Pass fell, who knew how many commoners would be implicated.
“General! Our scouts have reported that an unknown expert has infiltrated the enemy’s camp and killed the Wolf King Tharman, scaring off the Wolf King’s army into retreat. Right now, the hundreds of thousands of Wolf King’s men have already begun fleeing to the north in a panic! “A soldier ran in and reported.
“Really? That’s great news!” Ye Guxing was overjoyed, and the few generals were also surprised with joy.
However, after the surprise, Ye Guxing was also slightly shocked.
An unknown expert?
What kind of expert could scare off the Wolf King’s army of 500,000 by himself?
The Wolf King’s clan’s army is battle-hardened, ferocious, and fearless.
To be able to scare these guys into fleeing for their lives, just how terrifying is that mysterious expert?
I never knew our Great Xia Dynasty had such a powerhouse!
It was true that he was stunned, but Ye Guxing was more elated. The huge rock that was weighing on his heart disappeared instantly.
He was incessantly worried about how to stop the Wolf King’s army’s advance as the entire Great Xia Dynasty was at risk.
He had not expected such a shocking turn of events.
He truly needed to thank that mysterious expert who had helped him.
With the Wolf King killed, the clan’s army was without a leader and was already routed.
It presented them with the perfect opportunity to counterattack.
“Du Chao, listen up!”
“I’m here!”
“Lead 20,000 cavalry and follow me out of the city to pursue the Wolf King Clan. We must drive these guys out of the Mo Prefecture and reclaim the lost land!” Ye Guxing ordered.
“Yes, sir!”
…
Li Yu happily received the 10 Prestige Points from the system as he watched the Wolf King’s army flee.
His Prestige had already reached 29 / 100.
As long as he eliminates the Netherworld Demon Sect, his progress would be half complete.
Li Yu did not loiter around after putting the Wolf King Tharman’s head into the system’s storage space.
He tapped his foot onto the air and flew off.
The Netherworld Demon Sect was located in the northwest area of the Mo Prefecture, close to Mingchang Mountain. It was unexplored and filled with demonic beasts.
As he had triggered the system mission this time, Li Yu found that place with ease with the system’s guidance.
As soon as he entered the Netherworld Demon Sect’s territory, a few disciples obstructed Li Yu’s path.
“Who are you? How dare you trespass into our Netherworld Demon Sect! Those people looked at Li Yu with vigilance.
The fact that this man could arrive here by himself was very telling of his abilities.
“Go report to your sect master that I, Li Yu, have come to give him a gift!” Li Yu said.
He did not intend to force his way in.
After all, his father was in their hands. It was not too late to attack after saving his father.
Those Netherworld Demon Sect disciples were shocked.
They had naturally heard of Li Yu’s name. After all, everyone knew who topped the Hidden Dragon Rankings.
The few of them did not speak. One disciple quickly went to report while the others kept on guard.
After a while, that person flew back again and said, “Come with me!”
Li Yu followed that disciple directly to the main hall of the Netherworld Demon Sect, the Nether Hall.
There were quite a few people in the hall at the moment. Besides the Sect Master Mo Lin, there were a few elders and more than ten core disciples.
Li Qingyun was also among them, but his body was sealed by a piece of magic equipment that immobilized him.
However, his expression was relaxed and content as he looked at the hall entrance with anticipation.
When he saw Li Yu arrive, he immediately said with a grin, “Yu’er, I heard that you’re the first on the Hidden Dragon Rankings. You really make me proud!”
That day, he found out about the Hidden Dragon Rankings from Mo Lin, and he also found out that Mo Lin’s true intention was to get rid of Li Yu and obtain the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Chongming Bird.
Hearing his father speaking, Li Yu could finally confirm that his father was safe and sound. He could not help but feel relieved.
Then, he smiled and said, “It’s only the ranking within the Great Xia Dynasty. There’s nothing to be proud of here.
“As for you, have you gotten any money after leaving the mountain for so long? Let me tell you, I’ve already taken the liberty of changing our sect’s name. The original name was too awful. Now that our sect is pretty famous, we should give it a better name. So I used your name to change it to Qingyun Sect. This name sounds much better, isn’t it?
“Oh, by the way, the bandits from the Juyi Hall came to rob us, and I got rid of them. I got a lot of money and treasures from their village. Also, a few days ago, I won a lot of spirit stones from gambling with various family clans and nobles.
“Right now, we have sufficient funds for the expansion of the sect, and construction works have started these few days too. I believe that when we return, the Hall of Mount Gate should be almost completed!”
“Haha, my son is amazing! I didn’t expect that you would actually do so much when I’m not around!” Li Qingyun laughed heartily.
Li Yu and Li Qingyun began chatting.
Mo Lin, who was sitting in the front seat, grimaced.
Is there something wrong with this father and son’s heads? They are about to die, and they don’t even know it?
They even chat here as if they haven’t met in a long time.
Do you two think you’re here as my guests?
The elders of the Netherworld Demon Sect and the dozen core disciples at the side looked at Li Yu and Li Qingyun as if they were looking at fools.
“Li Yu, have you brought them?” Mo Lin asked.
He tried to interrupt Li Yu and Li Qingyun’s conversation.
However, Li Yu completely ignored him and continued to speak to Li Qingyun. “Right, Dad, I did something pretty cool on the way here!”
“What is it?” Li Qingyun was curious.
Bang!
Mo Lin was so angry that he crushed the chair’s armrest and stood up.
A terrifying aura spread out, and his gaze seemed like it could kill.
However, Li Yu only took a casual glance at him and continued, “I killed the Wolf King Tharman who invaded the Mo Prefecture and scared away the Wolf King’s army while I was at it!”
“That’s my good son. You look more and more like me back in the day!” Li Qingyun laughed again.
“You killed Tharman?” Mo Lin, who was about to flare up, looked at Li Yu in surprise.
The others in the hall were also startled before they scoffed.
Although Tharman’s ability was not considered the best, he was still a late-stage Transcendent expert.
Furthermore, he had the protection of those hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How could it be that easy to kill him and even intimidate the Wolf King’s army to retreat at the same time? It was rare to see someone brag to this extent!
The father and son were really ridiculous!
The surrounding disciples of the Netherworld Demon Sect looked at Li Yu with disdain.
If there was a ranking for bragging on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, they believed that Li Yu would probably top that too.
“Oh yes, speaking of which, I remember now—Sect Master Mo Lin, I’ve brought you a greeting gift!” Li Yu finally brought his attention to Mo Lin.
Immediately, he took out the head of Wolf King Tharman from the system storage and threw it to Mo Lin.
Seeing the Wolf King Tharman’s head, Mo Lin’s eyes widened.
He looked at Li Yu in utter disbelief.
He was also skeptical when he heard Li Yu’s words earlier. And no words could describe how shocked he was at that moment.
This brat really killed the Wolf King Tharman.
How is this possible!
