29: Chapter 29 The King of Southern Xinjiang Loves Men

Inside the tent.

A burly man with disheveled hair and a face covered in dark green tattoos.

He was shirtless, tearing into bloody beast meat with large bites.

An aura of immense power radiated from him; he was clearly at the peak of the late Transformation Realm, seemingly only a step away from the Integration Realm.

Around him, several young girls of different races were crouching.

Because it was so massive, it required the hands of two girls joined together to handle it.

Soon, several figures wearing the uniforms of the Great Qian garrison appeared in the tent.

The person leading them was none other than the scarred vice-general from the meeting earlier that day.

"You two, stop for a moment; someone is here."

"Your Majesty."

The scarred vice-general lowered his voice, his face full of sycophancy.

"That girl from the Zhuge Family has already arrived at Zhennan Pass, bringing her personal troops with her."

"Those personal troops appear to only be at the early Nascent Soul Stage. In reality, they have only fought the battle to suppress the Guo Clan rebellion. Compared to the battle-hardened Southern Border army, they are nothing to fear."

"However, this Zhuge Jinyu is still worth being wary of."

"After all, the entire Great Qian knows that she has a mysterious State Preceptor by her side..."

Huo Meng casually twisted the head of the young girl who had just been using her hands to help him three hundred and sixty degrees, then tossed it aside.

"Did that State Preceptor follow her here?"

The vice-general was startled by the other party's complete disregard for human life, struggling to find relevant information from his memory, which had been turned into mush by fear.

"That State Preceptor appeared in the capital; he is a man."

"Currently, among the entourage I am aware of, there is no such person."

Huo Meng picked up the body of the young girl he had just left dazed, bit into the main artery of her neck, and took a fierce gulp.

Then, he lifted his scarlet tongue to lick the bloodstains from the corners of his mouth.

"Heh heh heh... A little wench, barely out of diapers, and she dares to come to the Southern Border to run wild?"

"Those useless old men like Qin couldn't do anything to this King; did they think sending someone even greener would work?"

The scarred vice-general gulped hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"But, Your Majesty, that Zhuge Jinyu wields a vermilion bird feather fan and is extremely skilled in using fire, which has a significant restraining effect on your Gu insects..."

"Furthermore, even Guo Wenzhuo fell into her hands. Although there was the factor of that State Preceptor meddling, she herself must also possess some strength..."

"Gu arts?"

Huo Meng stood up, his laughter echoing throughout the large tent.

"This King has long since stopped caring about using such things!"

"Thanks to the guidance of an expert, not only did I teach the disciples of the Southern Border to learn troop formation, but I also mastered the nearly perfected 'Seven Kill Avatar Technique'!"

"Tomorrow, when we engage, this King will manifest seven avatars simultaneously."

"Each one possesses seventy percent of this King's strength, using different methods I excel at, attacking from different directions at the same time."

"Seven paths attacking at once; truth and falsehood are hard to distinguish."

"I would like to see what ability that Zhuge Jinyu has to catch this King seven times simultaneously, hahahaha!"

Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, the scarred vice-general said no more and turned to leave the large tent.

Several rebellious Great Qian garrison generals followed him out of Huo Meng's tent, the atmosphere quite stifling.

A vice-general behind him spoke up and asked.

"Tomorrow, that Zhuge Jinyu will definitely make a move. Huo Meng must have already prepared, and he certainly won't back down from her."

"When the fighting actually starts, which side should we help?"

The scarred vice-general looked back at that vice-general, then suddenly drew a blade and pressed it against his neck.

"Brother, you're thinking of regretting it at this time?"

"I'm telling you plainly, if you don't help Huo Meng, no matter who wins, we will all die!"

The man who spoke was startled and dared not continue.

Indeed.

Neither Huo Meng nor Zhuge Jinyu seemed like the type to spare a traitor's life.

Seeing that the vice-general had quieted down, the scarred man withdrew his blade.

"I have already discussed it with Huo Meng."

"We bring the news that Huo Meng will choose to take the initiative and attack tomorrow."

"At that time, we seven only need to request to lead seven garrison troops separately from old man Qin."

"When Huo Meng's seven avatars arrive with their men, we will deliberately sabotage, causing all seven garrison troops to be defeated."

"With all seven directions left exposed, even if that Zhuge Jinyu has heaven-defying abilities, I reckon she won't be able to save the situation!"

After hearing the scarred man's plan, everyone laughed heartily.

If the Southern Border is defeated, let alone her reputation, that Zhuge Jinyu will likely lose her life here.

As long as she dies, and the little Emperor is incompetent, plus having the support of the Southern Border for themselves...

The Great Qian empire might not be out of their reach.

"Boss, you're right. This time, we brothers will listen to you. Let's do it!"

"After this battle is over, we brothers will drape the yellow robe over you!"

A satisfied smile could not help but appear on the scarred vice-general's face, as if he had already foreseen his life of extravagance and debauchery after taking over Great Qian.

...

About half an hour after the scarred vice-general and the others left, a figure in a black robe emerged from behind Huo Meng's throne like a ghost.

Huo Meng, who had been incomparably arrogant in front of the scarred vice-general, immediately put on a respectful and deferential appearance upon seeing this person.

"Mr. Yi."

"The body parts I am missing, you should have finished refining them, right?"

The Man in Black Robe said indifferently.

"Yes, Mr. Yi, I will bring them to you immediately."

The Man in Black Robe nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"I will return to the Great Wei Dynasty tomorrow to recover my cultivation; you had better show some competence for me."

"That strange State Preceptor is uncharacteristically not following her this time; you had better cut off Zhuge Jinyu's head for me!"

Huo Meng hurriedly agreed.

"Rest assured, Mr. Yi."

"With the tactics and the 'Seven Kill Avatar Technique' you taught me, I certainly won't be like that trash Guo Wenzhuo and disappoint Mr. Yi."

The Man in Black Robe did not say anything more.

The only difference between Huo Meng and a Border Collie is that the Border Collie's IQ is slightly higher than this guy's.

Even with his instruction, Huo Meng's limited tactical level could not compare to Guo Wenzhuo's original four-sided encirclement, let alone contend with Zhuge Jinyu.

The only value in this fool is that he has mastered the 'Seven Kill Avatar Technique'.

These seven avatars might actually cause Zhuge Jinyu quite a bit of trouble.

There is a glimmer of a possibility of actually killing her.

Having lost so many times and set up so many schemes, surely there will be one win, right?

As for that mysterious State Preceptor?

Heh...

Once he finishes his seclusion and recovers his full strength, leading the heavenly troops of the Great Wei Dynasty south.

Let alone the Zhuge Family, the State Preceptor, or Great Qian.

The entire fantasy world will be nothing but something in the palm of his hand.

...

Meanwhile, inside Zhennan Pass, in the quiet room where Zhuge Jinyu was staying.

She was gently wiping the surface of Su Chen's mirror.

So many years have passed... the fog on the mirror is being wiped away more and more.

And the face of Sir is becoming clearer and clearer.

The Young Prime Minister really wants to know.

After all these years, what kind of handsome man is the Sir she has almost worshipped as a god?

"Soul fragments, return."

Seven beams of white light flew back into Su Chen's mirror from the seven unsuspecting rebellious generals.

"Sir, did you hear it all?"

She asked softly, her tone holding no surprise.

In the mirror, Su Chen's blurry figure nodded slightly.

"Hmm, when those garrison generals left the main camp, their auras were a bit off."

"They have indeed colluded with the enemy."

A hint of coldness flashed in Zhuge Jinyu's eyes.

"Indeed, the situation in the Southern Border has rotted to this extent. Apart from Huo Meng being too strong, internal corruption is also a key factor."

"I just didn't expect that it would be the high-ranking vice-generals who colluded with the enemy, and seven of them at once."

"The treachery of the human heart has always been the same since ancient times."

Su Chen's tone was calm.

"That Huo Meng, though, with seven avatars attacking simultaneously and having found insiders, is actually quite interesting."

"Xiao Yu, do you have a countermeasure?"

Zhuge Jinyu placed the vermilion bird feather fan gently on her knees, her fox-like eyes flickering, and she smirked.

"Sir, how about the two of us..."

"Go over tonight and wipe them out."

Su Chen shook his head.

"Why do that?"

"Not only will I not wipe them out before the battle, I will even let them go to the battlefield according to their original plan."

"Eh?"

Zhuge Jinyu was somewhat confused.

"Why, Sir? We clearly went to such trouble to obtain such important information..."

Su Chen chuckled twice, and seven purple-red marks flew out from the mirror.

They scattered and flew out of the room.

"Since they have such a meticulous plan, I, Su Chen, must certainly give them a push."

"I heard that the Southern Border King, Huo Meng, is extremely lecherous."

"I wonder if our great Southern Border King... loves men?"
