The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 203 ~ Mental Strength

King Shang returned to his throne after finishing increasing his strength. Until He was there, right after his butt was leaning on the oversized chair, suddenly a soldier came.

Kneeling, the soldier reported.

"Not even Your Majesty! The Shang royal army was sent to capture the golden-eyed young man and his comrades were now in trouble. They attack each other and kill each other. The fourth and fifth generals had also intervened to resolve the matter, but instead of succeeding, they were instead engaged and attacked by the soldiers!" The soldier did not dare to raise his eyes.

The Shang king, hearing the reports from the soldiers, clenched the grip of the throne.

"What!!?" Emotions burst forth, creating pressure as well as a terrifying aura that emanated from King Shang's body.

The soldier who reported earlier immediately trembled. He saluted then slowly got up and moved backwards, exiting the throne hall.

"Lack of Teaching!! This must be that fucking young man!" furious King Shang. "It seems that I have to summon the third general and the second general to settle this matter!"

King Shang closed both eyes. "Second General! Third General ..." He called for both generals. He called them by telepathy.

"Second General! Third General... I'm calling you guys, come over here.!" Again the Shang King repeated his call.

The Second General and the Third General on the mission were forced to abandon the mission. The two of them both disappeared from different places then then reappeared at the same place where it appeared in the palace hall of the Shang royal throne. Cupped both hands while kneeling.

"Honor Your Majesty!" both are saluting.

"I want the two of you to solve the problems that are happening in the central city right now. And also don't let this matter spread outside. Enough people in the city know about it" insisted the King of Shang.

"Okay, Your Majesty!"

After saluting, the two Generals immediately disappeared from there.

The two people reappeared in the air, precisely in the middle of the central city. Throwing a look around. Some parts of the central city were crowded with Shang royal warriors. Fighting and killing each other. There were laughter and cries for help from some of these areas. While in the midst of the soldiers, the fifth strongest General and the Fourth General were originally trying to overcome the problems that happened to the soldier, but what happened instead they got involved and caused the atmosphere more chaotic.

"Currently ridiculous! It was only fitting that they still equalled the position of rank 25 on top of the Celestial Empire's General!" The Third General said lazily. Likewise with the second General who also showed a cynical face.

Seen there have been many soldiers killed at the hands of his own comrades. The Third General and the Second General did not stay any longer, fearing that the more they delayed the time, the more casualties would be lost.

The two generals split apart, darting in two different directions. Stopping at the place where the Soldiers were killing each other, the Third General instantly unleashed an energy attack on Zhang Ziyi's Illusion Array.

Krkkk!!

Instantly the array cracked. The soldiers who were originally fighting and under the control of the Illusory Array had now awakened. They saw their dead and wounded comrades. While there were no more forms or shadows of Zhang Ziyi and Zhang Ziyi's comrades that they had originally attacked. Their hands were bleeding, bodies trembling at the thought of this incident.

"A–what happened?" one of the soldiers said in a slightly trembling voice. He did not dare to guess that he had killed his own comrade.

"Quick fix the dead soldier's comrade. And treat those who are hurt!" said the third general flat. Only then did he move in another direction.

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, until a voice from a man came and reminded them of the Third general's words. Contact them immediately moved and did as ordered by the third General.

Collect the bodies of the soldiers, while the wounded soldiers they brought to one place to be given first aid.

In a moment, the Second and Third Generals had met again. They had also been together with the Fourth General and the Fifth General.

"Why are you so soft? Even to solve this small problem alone cannot be solved. You guys are so weak!" The Second General rebukes the fourth General and the fifth General.

The two Generals who were yelled at were silent when they got a scathing word from the second General. They do not intend to deny or evade because they are aware of their mistakes.

"Because of you, our mission has been delayed... Hush." The Second General was grieving. "The job of the two of you is to make sure that what is happening in this city is not spread outside the city! How to do it."

"We understand, Second General!" They both saluted. Having been together for a long time, making the fourth General and the fifth General know how the temperament of these two generals. So that they do not take too much heart over the words.

"Remember, until the Shang kingdom recovers, no one dares to enter or leave this city!" the Third General's orders in a cold tone.

"We understand the second General!"

After that, the second General and the Third General of the Shang Kingdom disappeared from there and returned to carry out their delayed mission.

"Damn it, it's all because of that damn kid."

"That's it, there's no point turning on him. It is better that we carry out what the second General and the third General said earlier, before it is too late and ends up with a problem for both of us!"

The Fourth General nodded. They then sped up, completing their tasks and jobs in this city. Didn't let the incident that just happened to the Shang Kingdom spread. His fear was heard by the other kingdoms and they took advantage of it. Moreover, the current Shang kingdom lacked warriors at about one-fifth of the previous number of soldiers.

Laohu and Niao came out of the soul realm, as usual Laohu would double in size while Niao would shrink in size.

Zhang Ziyi and his comrades rode Laohu, as well as Niao. They are moving at high speed.

The territory of the Shang kingdom itself was so vast, that it took them about a day's journey to leave the Shang kingdom completely.

Night came, with Laohu constantly flapping his wings. Some night birds fly beside Laohu. The darkness of the night, with an imprecise silence, was only with the fire from Laohu's wings and the orange glow from Niao's body illuminating the atmosphere.

The Spirit of the Death God had appeared since earlier. Since they left the city of the center of the Shang kingdom.

"Hopefully you'll kill the fucking guy!" the Spirit of the God of Death.

"Do I know of his whereabouts?" zhang Ziyi asked.

"Hmm, I knew it. But I don't know for now."

"How about we go there. To the place you remember!"

"Okay, let's try to get there!" said the God of Death approving of Zhang Ziyi's invitation earlier.

Laohu is speeding up. Following the direction according to the instructions of the Death God Spirit.

***

Two days had passed, Zhang Ziyi as well as his comrades were still on Laohu's back. In these two days, they will descend when they find a village. Nothing, other than to let go of the boredom of being on Laohu's back without doing anything, they also intend to visit the village to see their economic and social conditions.

"Now we'll be there. Starting from here, you have to prepare weapons. The enemy can come at any time. Many guarded the Death God headquarters. Whether it's the evil spirits, or the fucking man's pet demons." The Death God Spirit tried to explain the situation in this place.

"Umm, thank you for telling us!" zhang Ziyi.

Flying for a moment, a black fog began to approach them. It grew thicker, along with carrying a gripping aura. Zhang Yin as well as Shui Shan felt his body goosebumps.

A few moments later, a blood red aura appeared. Along with bringing an extremely strong mental strength with him.

"No, everyone be careful! Don't be affected by this mental strength." Zhang Ziyi said, trying to warn his comrades. But late. They are affected by mental strength. To bring Zhang Ziyi's comrades to a different world.

The atmosphere that was once dark, now turned completely red. The blood Red Moon rose beyond the horizon. Night bats with flaming red eye pupils flew to and fro.

Zhang Meng, Zhang Yin, Zhang Bie, Zhang Lan, Zhang Zhili, Shui Shan as well as Shui Bing were currently standing on the barren land. Lots of animals live on the arid land, surrounding them. The atmosphere is dim red, making the atmosphere more frightening.

"What is this place?" Zhang Lan asked his comrades. But he did not get an answer because his colleagues were just as confused as he was.

"Where did Brother Ziyi... Laohu and Niao are also non-existent!" Shui Bing made a sound when he did not see Zhang Ziyi's whereabouts as well as Zhang Ziyi's two pets with them.

"We may have been trapped by the world of Illusion. The world that was brought by the mental power earlier," Zhang Zhili said when he realized something.

The slithering beast in the wasteland was now moving closer to where Zhang Zhili and his disciples were standing. With a wide open mouth, a red-eyed crocodile came, ran fast and intended to bite Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan acted quickly by directing the wind blade to kill the Crocodile. His mistress did not work on the hard skin of the Crocodile.

Seeing that his attack was not so powerful, then Zhang Lan decided to dodge. Likewise with Zhang Zhili and others who I had also avoided the approaching stars.

Taking out their respective swords they began to attack with weapons. It took five sword strikes to get one of the slithering beasts killed.

While the number of these animals reaches tens or even hundreds of tails. The atmosphere became increasingly gripping when suddenly the Blood Red Moon emitted its red light, so bright and illuminated all the places in the world. The animals began to emit red smoke from his back. Zhang Zhili and the others immediately stopped their respective actions. Increasingly worried when all of a sudden the Beasts turned into a giant-sized one.

"What the fuck? Why is it getting complicated!"

***

While Zhang Ziyi who was still in the normal realm tried to help his comrades to get out from the influence of mental strength. But not yet he did the action, suddenly his body trembled when the wind with hot and sharp air came to greet his body.

"Damn!" objurgation. "Laohu, you take care of them. I will settle the possessors of this mental strength, only then will I take care of them!" zhang Ziyi said to Laohu. The pet nodded.

Laohu and Niao themselves were not affected by that mental strength, as they also had strong mental strength.
