CHAPTER 716: CHAPTER 726: THE FICKLE AND PETTY PERSON

"By the way, Senior brother, do you know about the situation in the Northern Beixie Empire?" Right now, numerous masters of the Jianyun Dynasty have fallen, leaving the military forces with hardly any survivors.

Even a clever woman cannot cook without rice.

Chu Feng wants to quickly stabilize the chaos and defeat the Great Ma Empire, becoming the actual ruler of Dan State. This is no easy task.

He couldn’t help but think again about the Northern Beixie Empire, which he controlled secretly.

Now is the time to use this hidden chess piece.

"The Northern Beixie Empire borders the Jianyun Dynasty, so naturally I am aware of the situation. After the Great Ma Empire grew powerful, the Northern Beixie Empire was the first to submit to them. It’s said that to please the Great Ma Emperor, the Beixie Emperor went so far as to almost call him ’father’."

Chu Jianlan spoke of these matters with a face full of contempt.

He held the Beixie Emperor’s character in utter disdain.

"Such a despicable person deserves death!"

Although Chu Feng had initially subdued the Beixie Emperor, he found him to be immoral, cunning, and brutal, with a fickle nature. Therefore, he intentionally left behind some measures of control.

Unexpectedly, the Beixie Emperor would directly defect to the enemy; it was truly spineless.

In doing so, he probably had the mentality of a broken jar resigning itself to be shattered.

Serving as a servant to anyone didn’t make a difference.

Especially since Chu Feng, this former master, was being hunted by the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s men and had fled Dan State.

His life or death uncertain.

Therefore, the Beixie Emperor became even less restrained.

"What is the Northern Beixie Empire’s stance in the Great Ma Empire’s attack on the Jianyun Dynasty?" Chu Feng still held onto the last sliver of hope.

"The Northern Beixie Empire acted as their accomplice, breaching thirteen of our Jianyun Dynasty’s cities. During this attack on the Jianyun Dynasty, the Northern Beixie Empire was the main force," said Chu Jianlan, filled with hatred.

The great domain entrusted to him by his younger brother was now in ruins.

This filled him with immense guilt.

"It’s alright, Senior brother and sister-in-law need not worry too much. I’ve returned; I definitely won’t stand idly by. In these next few days, you should continue doing what you need to do," Chu Feng, hearing of the Beixie Emperor’s massacre against the Jianyun Dynasty, was ready to unleash a deadly blow.

Rage surged in his chest like a roaring inferno.

This Beixie Emperor, he really is no good. It was bad enough that he didn’t assist the Jianyun Dynasty, but he even dared to deliver such a cruel blow.

Did he truly think that Chu Feng could not possibly return alive?

"Yan Qing, let’s go!" Chu Feng took Yan Qing and left.

"Master, where are you planning to go?" Yan Qing felt very puzzled. It was deep into the night, and after days of non-stop travel, both of them were exhausted.

Shouldn’t they find a place to rest properly?

"To the enemy camp!"

As soon as he spoke, Chu Feng had already transformed into a wisp of light smoke, swiftly flying forward.

Now that Chu Jianlan knew his younger brother had returned, he had already summoned a host of loyal Great Generals, telling them not to mind Chu Feng’s sudden appearances and disappearances.

To provide convenience for Chu Feng’s actions as much as possible.

Although Chu Jianlan did not know what Chu Feng planned to do, he deeply understood that his younger brother’s abilities and wisdom far exceeded his own.

Back then, the Sword King Mansion was in such danger that it was almost defenseless.

Yet Chu Feng had managed to turn the situation around step by step, and in the end, even accomplished the hegemony that their father had not achieved—directly seizing the realm.

This time, Chu Jianlan believed that his younger brother must have another ingenious strategy up his sleeve.

"Ah, I completely forgot to ask the third brother about our second sister’s situation!" It was only after Chu Feng had walked a long distance that Chu Jianlan patted his head and spoke.

...

Chu Feng, accompanied by Yan Qing, took advantage of the night and silently left the King City.

This time, it was much easier than when they had entered the King City.

Because of the enemy’s military discipline, it was very slack.

Moreover, it was the coldest part of winter. Late at night, the enemy soldiers had long since hidden in their tents.

The Great Ma Empire had nearly annihilated the entire state of Dan State.

This also led the soldiers of the Great Ma Empire to be arrogant and overly confident.

They believed that there were no other nation’s armies in the world that could defeat them.

"Yan Qing, go and scout out where the Beixie Emperor’s camp is," Chu Feng commanded.

"Alright!"

With the strength of a Three-star Sword God, Yan Qing was virtually like a ghost in the enemy camp.

Having him to gather intelligence would make things much easier.

It wasn’t long before Yan Qing returned, holding a middle-aged man covered in blood. This man was dressed in a General Robe that only generals could wear.

However, by looking at the rank, he seemed to be a Fanged General.

"Why did you bring back a captive?" Chu Feng asked with a frown.

"I was worried this kid might play tricks, so I made him lead the way directly. If he didn’t lie, his life would be spared. If he dared to deceive us, it’s okay, we’ll just slowly kill him," Yan Qing said with chilling evil energy.

Having followed Chu Feng for a while, Yan Qing had picked up many of Chu Feng’s habits.

He would never go easy on enemies.

"Hurry up and make him lead the way!" Chu Feng didn’t have much time.

He must take down the Beixie Emperor tonight, and covertly take control of the Beixie Empire’s army. Only by doing this, would there be a chance to save Sword Cloud Royal City come daylight.

Given the current situation, the enemy forces would surely launch a full assault to breach the city after dawn.

The remaining military power of the Jianyun Dynasty was extremely limited and could not last long.

This unfortunate Fanged General, facing two mysterious figures who had captured him, one more formidable than the other, couldn’t help shivering repeatedly. He didn’t dare to play any tricks and honestly led the way.

Within the camp, they carefully navigated through twists and turns.

Soon, they arrived in front of a huge tent. This tent was extraordinarily luxurious, and faintly within one could hear the laughter of women and the loud mirth of men.

There must be some indulging in drink and pleasure inside.

In military campaigns, the top two prohibitions are alcohol and women.

From the lowest soldier to generals and marshals, it was absolutely forbidden to bring female companions along. Indulging in pleasures with women while on campaign makes it hard to maintain a high level of vigilance.

Less energy would be spent on fighting the war.

Another point, many beautiful women are spies specifically trained. They deliberately blend into the military camps to probe military secrets.

Chu Feng extended his index finger, making a "tss", revealing a flame at the tip of his finger.

He easily burned a small hole into the tent.

The people inside were completely unaware of this abnormality.

Chu Feng peered through the hole and saw a Charcoal Fire burning inside the tent.

The floor was covered with a wool carpet.

The Beixie Emperor lied in the most comfortable position above the fire pit.

"This son of a bitch really knows how to enjoy himself!" Chu Feng cursed inwardly while confirming that the tent only held the Beixie Emperor and a few beauties. Not too far from this large tent were several smaller tents.

According to the captured Fanged General, those small tents housed the Beixie Blood God Guards who were close to the Beixie Emperor.

This was indeed the most elite force of the Beixie Empire.

They were the elite of the elite.

"Yan Qing, once we enter later, you’re responsible for knocking those women out. Don’t let them make any noise."

After Chu Feng finished speaking, he seized the right moment and with a flash, directly entered the tent.
