Phoenix Emperor
Chap 71's. Start first.
Border area.
"Your highness, the lookout force asked for permission to meet."
Jian Ren nodded slowly, "alright, let him in" he said.
The soldier then left the special tent for Jian Ren, not long after, a man dressed in all black and face coverings entered the tent.
"Say."
"Your highness, the enemy forces are already approaching the border region, they will most likely be up to two more days."
"Alright, tell the others to continue with the task."
"Okay, your majesty" the man replied, then left the tent.
Not long after the man left the tent, the commander of the army and the commanders of the army entered the tent, as they had to discuss the strategy of war once again.
The strategy of war was discussed when they were still in the palace, but the strategy was only temporary, and now it was time for them to discuss the actual strategy.
"Where is Yin Feng? Has anyone seen him?"
"Sorry your honor, we haven't seen him since we arrived at the border gate."
Jian Ren could only let out a long sigh, whereas he wanted to make Yin Feng one of the commanders, but unfortunately, his future son-in-law was not even there.
"Alright, let's continue the discussion without him."
Otherside.
Unbeknownst to Jian Ren and all the Tang imperial troops, Yin Feng had already approached the enemy forces, yet all he did was scout them.
Previously, Hui Mei had already provided a lot of useful information for him, yet Yin Feng wanted to ascertain the truth of that information directly.
According to the information from Hui Mei, the Yun imperial army had some great cultivators, one of them had even reached the realm of a five-star Emperor.
When he heard that information, Yin Feng became extremely excited, even more so after he found out that the cultivation level of that person was higher by several levels.
"Oh, so he's the one."
Yin Feng's gaze was fixed on a man who was beside Yun Xiang, the aura emanating from his body felt much larger than the other cultivators around him.
Meanwhile.
The old man who was by Yun Xiang's side suddenly just set his gaze to the sky, though vaguely, yet he could feel the aura of someone behind the clouds.
"Your majesty, I have to go see someone" he said.
"Alright, but don't take too long" Yun Xiang said.
"Okay, your majesty" said the man, then darted flying away leaving Yun Xiang and his son.
A while later, the old man was already behind the clouds, his gaze immediately fixed on Yin Feng who was showing his best smile.
"It looks like you've been here a long time, so what's the reason you called me here?" ask the man.
"There's no special reason, I just want to meet my opponent" Yin Feng replied.
The old man frowned, "are you from the Tang empire?"
Yin Feng shook his head slowly, then explained that he was not from the Tang empire, but from a continent that was very far from the Xianren continent.
"Then, what is your relationship with the Tang empire?"
"I don't have any relationship with them either, just interested in following this war" Yin Feng replied.
"Then, what if you join the Yun Empire?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the kind of person to betray."
"It's a pity that it would be very profitable if you would join the Yun Empire."
"And since you rejected my offer, then I should kill you."
Yin Feng raised the corner of his lips, "because you want to fight, then there is no reason for me to refuse."
The atmosphere became silent as the two of them did not make any more sounds. Not long after, the two released an aura of strength to intimidate each other.
Ohhhh!
Not only that, the burst of their power aura also put the entire army under immense pressure, even their steps to a standstill because of it.
"W-what really happened? Who was releasing this aura of power?"
"Where is this power?"
Dhuayarrrr!
Not yet exhausted of their shock due to their intimidating aura, the entire Yun imperial army was again startled by the sound of explosions emanating from behind the clouds.
The explosion was really very powerful and seemed to make heaven and earth tremble, at the same time, two flashes of light seemed to be streaking and clashing against each other in the air.
The dhuarrr!
The dhuarrr!
Explosions continued to sound as the two flashes of light clashed against each other, the aura emanating from the two also felt much larger than before.
"That's a teacher!" said Yun Tian who recognized one of the figures who was fighting at a height.
"But who's facing him?"
The panic struck the Yun imperial army, because the strongest cultivators they had now instead met balanced opponents, even though the war had still not begun.
Although they could not see it clearly, but from the flash of light and the explosions that continued to occur in the air, it could be guessed that their strength was very balanced.
"What are you waiting for? Quickly help Zhu Liang defeat that person!" yun Xiang said.
"Good!"
With his current cultivation level, Zhu Liang was already the strongest cultivator in the Yun empire, and it was extremely difficult to find an opponent who could compensate for him.
But this time, Zhu Liang finally found an opponent who had equal strength to him, which was why Zhu Liang did not want others to disturb him.
"Why did you stop them?" yin Feng asked on the sidelines of the fight.
"For so long, I have never found a balanced opponent, so I don't want this exciting fight to be interrupted by others!"
"Well, I promise I'll make you feel satisfied!" yin Feng said.
"What's going on? Why are you back again?" asked Yun Xiang who looked annoyed.
"Sorry your majesty, but mister Zhu Liang does not want us to interfere with his fight."
"I don't care, you all have to work together to defeat that guy!"
"But..."
"Do my orders right now!"
"Okay, your highness!"
Although they did not want to interfere with Zhu Liang's fight, but they could not resist Yun Xiang's wishes and inevitably they had to interfere.
"Prepare formation!" said one of them.
"Good!"
Those cultivators then they surrounded Yin Feng who was fighting with Zhu Liang. After that they all formed similar hand seals.
"Sky crushing formation!"
After which, four formation circles appeared and surrounded Yin Feng from four directions, then from that circle came out an energy chain that directly shackled Yin Feng's body.
At the same time, two much larger formation circles appeared above and below Yin Feng's feet. Both of them exuded extremely powerful and intimidating auras.
"What are you guys doing? I told you not to bother!"
"I'm sorry, Zhu Liang! But we can't defy your noble orders!"
"Destroy it!"
Booms!
Dhuayarrrr!
