72: Chapter 72: Consensus Reached! Evolution Complete!

Boom!

Xia Youchu's words exploded in General Qin Feng's mind like a thunderclap!

He stood up abruptly, his Aura erupting uncontrollably, causing the tables and chairs in the side hall to vibrate and hum!

"Impossible!!"

He growled, his eyes filled with disbelief. "It is impossible for our military intelligence network to make such a major error! How could the main force of the Peng Clan sneak into Luoying Ravine without a sound?! Three Yuan Emperor Elders moving out simultaneously—this is enough to trigger an all-out war!"

She was talking nonsense! It must be!

But... but how could he explain those secrets she mentioned earlier?

And what about that heart-stopping Aura she possessed?

Could it be...

"Intelligence network?"

A mocking curve appeared at the corner of Xia Youchu's mouth. "What if the higher-ups responsible for transmitting intelligence have problems? What if the source of this failure does not come from the outside, but from within, where someone wants you dead, wanting to break this blade of the Imperial Dynasty—the 7th Legion?"

She walked toward General Qin Feng step by step. Although she was not as tall as him, her intangible Aura seemed to look down upon him:

"General Qin, will you trust your intelligence network that might have already been hollowed out, or will you trust me—the one who can reveal all your secrets and has predicted the death date of you and the ten thousand soldiers under your command?"

General Qin Feng stared fixedly at Xia Youchu, his chest heaving violently, veins bulging on his forehead.

Reason told him that this young girl's words were absurd!

But he had an intuition that what this young girl said was true!

The entire army wiped out... nailed to Eagle Beak Rock...

At the thought of that scene, at the thought of the fate that might befall the brothers who had followed him through life and death, fear and anger intertwined, almost consuming him!

He remained silent for a full minute.

General Qin Feng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his churning blood, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "What do you want?"

He knew there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Since she told him these things, she must have a request.

Xia Youchu knew he already believed her seventy or eighty percent.

"Very simple."

She sat back down, regaining her composure. "First, use all your power to help me find and rescue my War Beast, Lingtian, from the wilderness."

After speaking, she briefly recounted what had happened three hours ago.

"A Great Demon King suddenly attacked the city?"

General Qin Feng frowned upon hearing this.

For some reason, the first thing that came to his mind was Director Zhou Wenyan's smiling face.

This made him believe Xia Youchu's words by another thirty percent!

"Fine, I agree."

Xia Youchu breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, then continued: "Second. One month from now, for the battle at Luoying Ravine, I will personally take command!"

"What?!"

General Qin Feng was shocked again. "You?! That's impossible! The military will never agree to let someone of unknown origin command a legion!"

"They don't need to agree."

Xia Youchu's tone was indifferent yet carried immense confidence. "You only need to announce to the outside world that you are personally in command. At that time, I will be by your side, and I will formulate all the battle plans. You and your legion only need to strictly execute my orders."

She looked at General Qin Feng with deep eyes: "Use a victory destined to be glorious to verify everything I have said today."

"Use the bones of the Peng Clan Elders to vindicate you and the 7th Legion! At the same time, it can also root out those worms in the military and the imperial court!"

"And all you need to pay is to help me retrieve my War Beast, and temporarily hand over command to me during the battle of Luoying Ravine."

General Qin Feng fell into a massive internal struggle.

It was too crazy!

This was simply joking with the fate of the entire legion!

But... what if what she said was true?

That would be an irreversible disaster!

Trusting her, although risky, might offer a glimmer of hope!

Besides, she could make such precise predictions; perhaps she really had the ability to lead his army to victory?

Saving her War Beast, while troublesome, was not entirely impossible with the military's power...

After a long while, General Qin Feng gritted his teeth!

"Fine! I agree to everything!"

He said in a deep voice, "I will immediately order a full-scale search for the Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape!"

"But!"

His tone shifted, his gaze like a blade. "Xia Youchu, remember this! If your command leads to any major errors that put my army in danger, I will immediately revoke your command! And regardless of your background, I will never let you off!"

"Deal."

The agreement was reached!

The two walked out of the side hall, no longer paying attention to the sour-faced Director Zhou Wenyan and the worried-looking Patriarch Xia Yuan in the living room.

Xia Youchu said to Patriarch Xia Yuan, "Dad, General Qin Feng and I have important business to attend to outside. Please help look after the house, and be careful not to let any thieves steal anything."

She cast a meaningful glance at Director Zhou Wenyan.

Patriarch Xia Yuan nodded. "Be careful."

General Qin Feng was even more direct; without a word, he took Xia Youchu and his personal guard unit and left the Xia residence immediately, looking as if he was preparing to charge into the wilderness at once.

Director Zhou Wenyan, who had been completely left in the living room, could no longer maintain the smile on his face; it turned gloomy.

General Qin Feng, that reckless brute! And that Xia Youchu! How dare they ignore this official like this!

Hmph, it seems they are determined to protect that Emerald Spirit Sparrow!

Since that's the case, don't blame me for using some extraordinary means!

He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and stood up. He said coldly to Third Great-Uncle Xia Hongyi, who was feeling his scalp tingle, "This official has busy official duties, so I will not intrude further. I hope your Xia family behaves themselves!"

After speaking, he also left in a fit of rage with his attendants.

Leaving only Third Great-Uncle Xia Hongyi standing there, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, his heart filled with an uneasy premonition.

Now... I'm afraid something really big is going to happen!

...

Meanwhile.

The Golden-Haired Frenzied Ape, which had been running wildly in the wilderness, gradually came to a stop.

And Lingtian, who was inside his belly, also slowly opened his eyes!
