Dance Of The Phoenix
192. Warning and Consideration

As expected, the death squad attacked again. Not only them, witches and experimental creatures were also released and stormed the battlefield once again.

This time, the aliens caused a lot of shock to the crowd. Gu Yuena had warned earlier and they had been worried for some time. Now, that worry is mounting.

The creatures were extremely ferocious and had strange abilities. They were of different types, but very strong and brutal. As if not knowing comrades and foes, they attacked anything in front of them even death beasts were no exception.

The army of magicians and other Linghun Palace warriors had been on guard and had something that could ward off the sight of the beast. They fought on the other side, letting the disgusting creatures fight at will on the front line.

Childe leads his army to fight the death squad and the strange creatures. Various colors of attacks are launched according to the division of each element, attacking in an organized manner and creating a terrifying elemental effect.

Ice blasts, smoldering flames, lightning strikes, tornadoes, waves rolls, and attacks from the ground dominated the battlefield and made it easier for imperial warriors when dealing with witches. Many cultivators took part in the war and faced witches head-on, including Su Churan and the others.

Gu Yuena was still in the fortress, observing the course of the battle in silence. He was alone, apart from the archers and the arterial shooters who took turns shooting.

He still did not feel Li Hua's participation.

That meant, Li Hua still had no intention of advancing on the battlefield this time around. It looks like it's waiting for something.

Gu Yuena opened her wings, flapped them into the air and slid into the battlefield. There were quite a number of strange creatures in the air targeting the back line. Gu Yuena used purgatory to burn everything in one strike.

The creatures turned into ashes that fell into a short space of time. As the black ash fell, a red figure shot out from the sky towards the crowd of monsters.

A magic circle appeared in the air in an intricate form, condensing into a cluster of flames and landing onto the ground. His movements were like objects falling from the sky, hitting the ground and creating explosions and fierce blazes that damaged those large strange creatures. Its fire area was enormous, causing almost the entire battlefield to be engulfed by flames.

Childe pulled his troops out of the way and dealt with the remnants of the death squad that escaped the sky attack. He looked up, his eyes showing surprise when he saw a red figure flying away without saying a word.

Gu Yuena was actually helping them. Childe was a bit surprised. He thought Gu Yuena would only advance as Li Hua descended into the battlefield.

The people who were aware of Gu Yuena's actions so suddenly destroyed many death squads as well as the experimental beings using purgatory combined with the magic circle. They were instantly stunned, especially the members of the alliance.

It was the Holy Leader of their alliance!

Unfortunately, Gu Yuena did not linger here for long. His attack only dealt a fatal blow to death creatures and experimental creatures, but did not make the witches go along into the flames.

Even so, that alone was enough to make them retreat. The reduced number of death squads and the destruction of the creatures they had just unleashed was a very fatal blow. They were worried that this would cause the Queen's anger.

Therefore, the witches did not continue the war and retreated with the remaining death squads. They did not even get a single soul, because purgatory had destroyed all the souls that had fallen on the battlefield without a remnant.

It was a very heavy blow for them!

The war ended in a short time, with no casualties on the part of the empire. There were only a few injuries that could still be healed by physicians and alchemists. Merkea returned to the city gate and carried out maintenance or re-planned the next strategy.

Gu Yuena's actions were truly shocking. He rarely took part or gave opinions when devising military strategies, as he had no experience in the military. The appearance of Gu Yuena in the midst of the war brought many advantages.

If so, isn't it just a matter of time to abolish Linghun Palace or suppress them?

Because of this, many of them went to see Gu Yuena to discuss her participation in the war and the plans they would carry out in order to regain the imperial territory. With Gu Yuena advancing on the frontlines and opening up the path with purgatory, they could invade Linghun Palace in no time!

Unfortunately, it's easy to say, but hard to do. Gu Yuena rejected their idea.

"If I could do it, I wouldn't be here but to face the Queen of Linghun Palace directly for you guys." According to Gu Yuena, it was a dangerous plan and would only provide short-term benefits. What he did just now had drained a lot of his energy. Moreover, only the Linghun Palace's created beings died. Their witches were not at all reduced.

They clearly did not know, as Gu Yuena looked perfectly fine as if she was still going to launch the same attack a second time, or even a third time.

Gu Yuena would naturally not show any weakness of her own.

"Put your ideas to ask me to open the way. I'm only here to face the Queen of Linghun Palace. My arrival just now was not just to help my people, but to force the Queen of Linghun Palace to come out of her lair."

Gu Yuena's words made the generals drown. The palace leaders—except Yun Qiao—also fell silent.

Forcing the Queen of Linghun Palace! That was a nightmare!

"Actually, my way is still very subtle. I have not never thought of paving the way for you and taking your cities back. Merely, as long as there is still the Queen of Linghun Palace, you will only seek death. If we manage to obtain territory, do you think that the Queen of Linghun Palace will be silent? At that time I will definitely be exhausted, my battle will be very unfair and we will all die silly."

Although Gu Yuena was a bit rude, he was very right. His expression instantly entered everyone's logic and no one doubted it.

Using such a huge force must be extremely draining. In order to fight against the Queen of Linghun Palace, Gu Yuena indeed had to save some energy. Unless there was Bai Youzhe, they would not worry.

However, there was still Yang Xinyuan. Bai Youzhe had to defeat Yang Xinyuan first and did not have time to face the Linghun Palace Queen in a peak state.

"Then, sorry for bothering Queen Bai." One of the generals was embarrassed and returned to the barracks with the others.

The palace rulers said nothing. They did not join the generals in making military plans from the beginning and have been with Gu Yuena since the war ended. They thought, Gu Yuena's idea makes more sense.

By provoking the Queen of Linghun Palace to advance to the battlefield, there would be a war of deciding who would lose and win to end all this chaos.

"Are you confident that you can fight against the Queen of Linghun Palace?" ask Geng Ji.

Gu Yuena smiled bitterly. "Eitherway? What say?" Gu Yuena replied irresponsibly. That left them speechless.

Speaking of which, he was somewhat worried about Yun Qiao's condition. Ever since that attack, Yun Qiao was still sick. The wound is worse than it looks.

Gu Yuena escaped the discussion between the palace lords. He had been in the tent long enough and was about to visit Yun Qiao. After all, the man had helped a lot and was hurt by it. Gu Yuena felt somewhat guilty.

However, before Gu Yuena entered the place where Yun Qiao was. His steps came to a halt when he found the figure of a man standing before the door of the residence.

Gu Yuena was silent. He stayed in place without moving or saying a word, letting the man approach towards him with wide yet relaxed steps.

Gu Yuena's face turned cold instantly. "Why are you here?"

That man was none other than Yang Xinyuan. In fact, Gu Yuena was very surprised and did not expect that the man would enter unexpectedly into the heavily guarded Shui City.

Given that Bai Youzhe was able to go in and out at will, he was no longer surprised and put on a cold face.

"We need to talk." Yang Xinyuan langung turned around and left, hinting Gu Yuena to come along.

Gu Yuena was full of vigilance as she followed while keeping a dagger from her hand that was placed behind the skirt. They stopped not too far away, being in a quiet and open place.

This situation made Gu Yuena's premonition worse.

Yang Xinyuan looked towards Gu Yuena, then chuckled. "I will not kill you, nor fight with you. You can keep your knife safe—if you believe."

Gu Yuena thought for a moment. He kept his knife in the spiritual room. After all, the blade would not be able to injure Yang Xinyuan so easily.

"What do you want to say?" ask Gu Yuena.

Highlight Yang Xinyuan's eyes became serious. He drew closer to Gu Yuena, then said, "I came to warn .. and consider."

"Oh yeah? What'sthat?"

"The queen took the path of divinity and formed her own divine power. You know, the gods no longer exist. It makes the Queen someone you can't imagine. I'm not confident in fighting it myself." Yang Xinyuan said honestly. "My reason was not to give her the demon bone, nothing else so that the demon bone would not give her more strength. In addition to resurrecting King Gu, it was also to strengthen itself. That's what he's been doing all this time."

Gu Yuena was a bit surprised, but as much as possible reacted normally. "Why did you tell me?"

"Because you need to know. Also ... to give final consideration. In the near future, I will launch an attack in the Underworld. Bai Youzhe won't be able to protect you from the Queen. The queen said she'd kill you, then she'd."

"Are you afraid I'm dead?"

Yang Xinyuan was silent for a while, looking doubtful. "Gu Yuena, go with me, I will keep you away from him and be free from this war, regardless of who will win."

Yang Xinyuan did not know for sure who would win the war. However, he was very clear regarding Li Hua's strength. Between Gu Yuena and Li Hua, it would be difficult for Gu Yuena to win. Even Bai Youzhe could not be by his side and protect him.

"You can't give me a good reason why I should follow you. You should know why I say that."

"I don't care how you look. Bai Youzhe can't protect you, because I won't let her."

"Then you also can't do what you just said as consideration. You think ... someone will let you off easily? Yang Xinyuan, you're in a complicated situation."

"You think Bai Youzhe can stop me? Have you forgotten his grudge against your mother? Your mother killed her family, do you think she'll just let go? He can ignore me, but he won't ignore your mother."

"Then from that, I'll end it. If you want to go, then go. I'm not leaving my job."

"Are you not concerned with your own life!"

Gu Yuena laughed. "Hiswa? Whatever the outcome of this war, my life is no longer important. I will fight my mother, then I will fight her with my life. You have no right to rule me. You're nobody."

Yang Xinyuan clenched her fists tightly. "Gu Yuena .. why do you still not understand! What do you think helping Bai Youzhe will make you happy? You came to the battlefield for him. You also made your mother an enemy to him. Then, are you also going to die for him!"

Gu Yuena bit her lips furiously and said firmly. "What do you know! You ... You're just a killing machine my mother created. Guns have no emotion. Don't think you know me better than myself. Don't use that excuse to cover up your jealousy."

Yang Xinyuan was extremely annoyed. He chuckled, then said, "Jealous? Well, you're not wrong."

Gu Yuena frowned. Yang Xinyuan's emotions changed very quickly, making her feel very alert.

"I'm so upset to know you're married to that guy, until now." Yang Xinyuan looked at him coldly. "Unfortunately, the person you married won't even be able to protect you until the end of your life. Are you gonna be disappointed?"

Gu Yuena said firmly, "If things turn around, would you still be able to do two things at the same time?"

"As you say, I'm a weapon without emotion. Do I need to attach importance to the lives of those useless people?" Yang Xinyuan calmed down for a moment, then touched Gu Yuena's face before saying, "I will choose the Underworld to be destroyed rather than you being destroyed."

Gu Yuena tilted her head. "Yang Xinyuan, aren't you the one who is lonely too pitiful?" Gu Yuena showed a mocking smile, which made Yang Xingyuan unhappy.

Yang Xinyuan's gaze hardened. Gu Yuena could not be invited to compromise, making her very annoyed. He snorted, "I always get goosebumps when you say my name."

"If that's all you want to say, I'd better go." Gu Yuena sighed.

"Wait a minute."

Gu Yuena had not even gotten around when Yang Xinyuan pulled her arm and hugged her. Yang Xinyuan hugged him very tightly and buried her head on Gu Yuena's neck.

"...." - ".Gu Yuena was silent from being too shocked. He frowned and would push him away using magic.

"Wait a minute. Don't be afraid, I won't trigger the nightmare seal. I just wanted to tell you, that the nightmare seal will come off by itself after you kill the Queen ...."

Gu Yuena further frowned. He lowered his hand, listening to Yang Xinyuan whisper him some important things. His face is getting complicated.

Yang Xinyuan raised her gaze upwards, then looked at the dark blue-robed figure standing on the hill. He slightly smiled mockingly, then brought his lips closer to Gu Yuena's ears that did not resist.

Gu Yuena was still serious on her explanation, unaware of what was going on behind her. He even forgot the fact that he was still in Yang Xinyuan's arms. Not just because he couldn't see, but because he focused on the last words the man said.

He was more unaware that the man on the hill was clenching his fists tightly and looking coldly at what was in front of his eyes.
