90: Chapter 90 Revealing the Cultivator

In the military camp, Scarface was coming on aggressively.

A soldier in league with him also shouted, "You two greenhorns, the General had high hopes for you, but now you've lost troops and officers, and you didn't even touch the gates of Jinshi Pass. According to military law, you should be executed!"

Scarface looked even more smug and directly ordered, "Come! Take these two defeated generals. If they dare to resist, treat it as treason!"

Having received the order, the soldiers immediately drew their long sabers and surrounded Ye Xuan and Ye Yi step by step.

Seeing this, Guo Zhengning hurriedly stepped forward. "Scarface, don't you dare act recklessly! In this battle, if it weren't for the Ye brothers fighting to the death to protect us, we would have all fallen to Jin State's Mad Blade. How can they be considered defeated generals?"

"Captain Guo, are you trying to show favoritism?" Scarface sneered, not taking Guo Zhengning seriously at all.

"On the battlefield, only results matter! Failing to take Jinshi Pass is failure! As for the 'fighting to the death' you mentioned, who can testify? I see it as them being cowards and intentionally delaying the military opportunity!"

The soldier speaking for Scarface grew even more arrogant, stepping forward to grab Ye Xuan's shoulder.

Ye Xuan sneered, immediately drew his long sword, and slashed at the soldier.

The powerful force literally severed the soldier's upper body, and blood sprayed out.

The surrounding soldiers were all startled and instinctively took half a step back, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Ye Xuan.

"You dare to kill someone in public!" Scarface's pupils shrank suddenly.

The smugness on his face was instantly replaced by rage, and he pointed at Ye Xuan, shouting sharply, "Rebellion! This is sheer rebellion! If I don't tear you into ten thousand pieces today, it will be impossible to uphold military law!"

Ye Xuan held the long sword, blood slowly dripping down the blade.

He let out a sinister laugh. "Military law? What kind of thing is military law! Even if Wang Sheng comes, I'll slash him all the same!"

Beside him, Ye Yi also said angrily, "We brothers fought a bloody battle and killed several Jin State generals. If not for Immortal Master Mad Blade being there, Jinshi Pass would have been taken by us long ago. Now you want to punish us without distinguishing right from wrong! You are the ones who deserve to be executed!"

Seeing this, Guo Zhengning also immediately waved his hand to signal his own soldiers to step forward, forming a standoff with Scarface's men. He said in a deep voice, "The Ye brothers are by no means defeated generals. By acting like this, you are persecuting loyal men!"

Scarface was furious and suddenly drew his large saber. "I see you're all in this together! You even dare to clash with the General! Today, I will take you all down and punish you together!"

Scarface's large saber slashed down, but Ye Xuan was not afraid at all. He brought out his sword and easily parried it.

Seeing that his saber couldn't budge Ye Xuan at all, Scarface was shocked and pressed down with all his might.

The anger that had been suppressed in Ye Xuan's eyes for a long time was also ignited. He immediately used his Spiritual Qi, and a flash of fire suddenly ignited along his fingertips.

Seeing the fireball, the arrogance on Scarface's face instantly turned into terror, and he hurriedly tried to pull his saber back and flee.

But Ye Xuan wouldn't let him off so easily. The fireball in his hand expanded and flew directly toward Scarface.

Scarface suddenly felt a burst of intense burning pain all over his body and retreated screaming, "Ahhh... You! You... you're actually an Immortal!"

The flames ignited as soon as they touched him. Scarface was in agony and tried to roll around to extinguish them, but fire infused with Spiritual Qi would not be put out so easily.

The soldiers could only listen to the screams as they watched a living person, along with his clothes and flesh, be burned to nothing, quickly turning into a pile of ash.

The entire camp was silent. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ye Xuan, their gazes a mix of terror, awe, and an irrepressible panic.

Scarface's faction, who had been arrogant just moments ago, were now pale-faced and weak-kneed. They couldn't even hold their weapons steadily, and several clattered to the ground.

Ye Xuan withdrew his Spiritual Qi and scanned the field. Any soldier who met his gaze instinctively lowered their head, not daring to make a move.

"Who else wants to punish us brothers?"

The remnants of Scarface's faction trembled with fear and knelt on the ground, kowtowing like pounding garlic. "Immortal Master, have mercy! Immortal Master, have mercy! We were blind not to recognize your greatness. We beg the Immortal Master for leniency!"

At this moment, how could they dare to have any dissatisfaction? The strength Ye Xuan displayed had already exceeded their understanding. How could they contend with the power of an Immortal?

Seeing this scene, Guo Zhengning was also deeply moved.

Now that Ye Xuan and Ye Yi had revealed their status as Immortals, probably no one in the army would dare to look down on them again.

Just then, a rapid sound of footsteps came from a distance, accompanied by a soldier shouting, "The General is here!"

Everyone looked toward the sound and saw Wang Sheng rushing over. He smelled the thick scent of blood in the camp and saw the pile of charcoal on the ground, as well as Scarface's trembling faction kneeling there.

The resentment in his eyes couldn't be suppressed, but there was even more panic.

"What happened?" Wang Sheng suppressed his inner unease and asked perfunctorily, pretending to know nothing.

Guo Zhengning looked at this hypocritical general with disdain. He stepped forward and reported the whole story in detail.

From the Ye brothers' expedition to Jinshi Pass, to their display of Divine Abilities to fight against Jin State's Immortal Master Mad Blade, to Scarface's attempt to frame them, and finally Ye Xuan's killing of Scarface and the others.

He recounted everything one by one, hiding nothing.

After listening, Wang Sheng's expression shifted repeatedly.

He was shocked that the Ye brothers were actually Immortals. Gritting his teeth, he had no choice but to lower his head and cup his hands. "I didn't realize you two brothers were Immortal Masters. Please excuse my lack of respect. It was my lack of discipline. I hope the Immortal Masters can be magnanimous."

Ye Xuan glanced at Wang Sheng's trembling hands and the malice he couldn't hide beneath his forced respect.

He had long seen through Wang Sheng's pretense and knew clearly that Wang Sheng's submission was merely a temporary tactic.

"Magnanimous?"

Ye Xuan took a step forward. Although his long sword was already sheathed, the pressure from a Cultivator still made Wang Sheng's breath hitch.

"General Wang, your subordinates couldn't distinguish between loyalty and treachery and wanted to harm us brothers. My killing him was an act of justice. I just wonder, if someone was secretly behind this, what would their crime be?"

Wang Sheng's heart tightened.

A bitter look appeared on his face. "The Immortal Master must be joking. There was absolutely no one else behind this. It was purely that soldier being overly arrogant and daring to offend the Immortal Master."

I will immediately order all his accomplices to be dealt with to give the Immortal Master an explanation!"

After saying that, he was about to wave his hand to give the order, but in reality, he secretly gave a look to his confidant behind him.

The confidant understood and quietly took half a step back, his finger already pressed on the signal crossbow at his waist.

How could Wang Sheng be willing to give up?

Ye Xuan and Ye Yi came from Liu Village, the very enemies who had wiped out the entire Tang Family of his sworn brother!

When the Tang Family was destroyed, he had been wary of the Ye family's power and the support of the Prince. He had thought that since the old man's sons were in his camp, he would slowly wear them down to death.

He hadn't expected these two to actually be Immortals, making him both fearful and hateful.

On the surface, he yielded, but in reality, he had set a death trap when he came, just waiting for the signal to be sent.

The death soldiers hidden outside the camp would swarm in, even if it meant dying together.

He had to kill them! Otherwise, he might not survive himself!
