Chapter 860 Two Cities for a General

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

The welcoming banquet in the City Lord's Mansion was still going on warmly, and the banquet in the inner hall had already been withdrawn. Only the upper echelons of the Five Extremes Sect, Yang Yun, Zhong Hua, and Wei An were left in the hall.

In the center of the hall, a map of the light screen was opened. Yang Yun could tell at a glance that this was the terrain of Shuangye City, which was 5,000 kilometers in radius. The geographical environment around Shuangye City was clearly marked on it, even to the extent that every peak and valley was marked.

Yang Yun couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He had always been stationed in Shuangye City and didn't have such a detailed map on hand. From this, it seemed that Chu Jun's intelligence organization wasn't simple.

Chu Jun glanced at everyone present and said to Yang Yun, "General Yang must have recognized what this map depicts!"

Yang Yun nodded and said, "This is the topographic map of Shuangye City. Sect Leader Chu was surprised to be able to obtain such a detailed map!"

Wei An's face revealed a hint of complacency. This map was created by him through the information provided by An Xiang, and he had even specially sent people from An Yu to observe and verify it on the spot.

At this moment, he only heard Yang Yun say, "But … what does Sect Leader Chu mean by this? Could it be that he wants to attack Shuangye City?"

Chu Jun smiled and said, "General Yang is right. I want to attack Shuangye City!"

Not only Yang Yun and Zhong Hua were shocked, even Sect Master from the Five Extremes Sect and Five Sects were shocked. Although the ghost race had lost the battle in the Guizhen Mountain Range, there were still more than 60,000 to 70,000 ghosts. Even if they fought head-on with the Azure Dragon Army, they were no match for them, let alone taking the initiative to attack Shuangye City.

Yang Yun was both shocked and unhappy. Although you, Chu Jun, were the main force in the Beast-controlling City, the entire Beiyang Manor still belonged to the Chongming Island authorities. You, Chu Jun, really didn't treat yourself as an outsider. You actually wanted to lead the battle against the ghosts.

Of course, Yang Yun only dared to curse in his heart. On the surface, he still said politely, "Sect Leader Chu, I'm afraid this is extremely inappropriate. With our current strength, we can defend and wait for reinforcements. However, taking the initiative to attack multiple times Shuangye City's enemies is really using eggs against stones. According to our original plan, we should still defend Beast Controlling City and wait for reinforcements from the First Prince!"

Wu Titian had now become a complete supporter of Chu Jun. Hearing that Yang Yun was opposed to Chu Jun, he immediately glared at him and said, "General Yang, although I am not a battle general, I know that attacking is the best defense. Actually, those ghouls are nothing special. If we don't beat the hell out of them, my Bird Sect will definitely support the sect leader's decision!"

Duanmu Yizun expressionlessly said, "My Tree Sect supports any decision of the Sect Leader!"

Ever since the battle in the True Wood Domain, the Duanmu three elders had been convinced of Chu Jun. In addition to the fact that the Tree Sect had just returned to the sect and was the weakest of the five sects, they naturally wanted to make some achievements to avoid being laughed at by the other four sects.

Hua Feiyu slightly regretted not showing his loyalty first and hastily smiled, "My Flower Sect also unconditionally supports the Sect Leader's decision!"

Seeing the other three sects declare their stance, Bird Sect's Han Yike hurriedly agreed.

Chu Jun looked at Shi Yinlong and said indifferently, "What does Sect Head Hao think?"

Hao Yinlong lowered his eyebrows and raised his head to look at Yang Yun, "General Yang is right. If we attack Shuangye City on our own initiative, I'm afraid we don't have enough strength. Standing guard and waiting for reinforcements is the safest way …"

Everyone immediately looked at Chu Jun with different expressions. Seeing how he reacted, the other four sects all agreed, while Hao Yinlong seemed to hold an objection.

Chu Jun calmly looked at Hao Yinlong and said with interest, "Go on!"

Hao Yinlong nodded his head and continued, "However, there must be reinforcements waiting for reinforcements. It has been almost a month, and the reinforcements of the First Prince have not arrived yet. If we continue to consume them like this, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us to wait for the ghost army to recover. Therefore, taking the initiative to attack is a good choice. This sect agrees to support the sect leader's decision!"

When Hao Yinlong said the last turn, he agreed.

Duanmu Yizun couldn't help but snort coldly, "Fake mystery, grandstanding!"

Hao Yinlong only sneered as a retaliation.

Chu Jun also knew that the enmity between the Tree Sect and the Beast Sect would not be resolved in a short time. After all, the Tree Sect was forced away by the Beast Sect back then, so he coughed softly and said, "Since all five sects have agreed, then the matter of attacking Shuangye City is settled like this!"

Everyone looked at Yang Yun strangely. The Sect Leader seemed to have left this person out. Since he didn't care about his opinions, why did he invite him to the meeting? Wasn't this a form of humiliation?

Yang Yun's expression was very ugly at this moment. Although Zhong Hua was calm on the surface, he was puzzled in his heart. According to his own observations, Chu Jun was obviously intentionally recruiting Yang Yun to surrender. What episode was going on now?

Chu Jun smiled and said, "General Yang don't misunderstand, It's not that I don't respect your opinion, "However, as you can see, Du Ru'nan hasn't sent any reinforcements yet. What you said about defending and waiting for reinforcements has become empty. Furthermore, this king has received news that the ghosts of Star State have begun to send reinforcements to support Shuangye City. Once the ghosts arrive first, it is hard to say whether our Beast-controlling City can defend it or not, so we must make our move first!"

Yang Yun was speechless. Indeed, it was unexpected that Du Ru'nan hadn't sent reinforcements yet. At first, he thought that Du Ru'nan was afraid that Chu Jun wouldn't dare to come, but at least he would send someone to help. However, not only did he not have reinforcements, he didn't even have a messenger. The First Prince's troops were still stationed in Northern Flag City.

"Sect Leader Chu, perhaps the reinforcements have been delayed by something. If we wait a few more days, the reinforcements will definitely arrive. With our current strength, not to mention attacking Shuangye City, even if we face the 60,000 ghost army head-on, we have no chance of winning!" Yang Yun sincerely advised.

Chu Jun smiled and said, "This king never said that he would fight the ghost army head-on!"

Yang Yun was stunned for a moment before frowning, "How can we not fight against the Ghost Army head-on if we want to attack Shuangye City?"

Chu Jun said mysteriously, "The siege of the city does not necessarily mean that we really have to fight to the death with open sabers and spears. How can I deal with this prince first? Actually, this prince can capture Shuangye City without the help of General Yang's 20,000 Azure Dragon Army. General Yang's people just need to watch from the sidelines!"

These words were too arrogant. Although it wasn't a slap to the face, Yang Yun felt that every word was a slap to the face. He was at least a Silver Warrier . He couldn't bear it!

Yang Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "Sect Leader Chu, do you mean that you people from the Five Extremes Sect alone can take down Shuangye City?"

"That's right, that's what I meant!" Chu Jun said bachelorly.

Yang Yun's chest was filled with anger, and his throat trembled. In the end, he swallowed the words "ignorant of the heavens and earth" that he had scolded. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Impossible, it's impossible for the Five Extremes Sect to take down Shuangye City!"

Although Yang Yun tried his best to slow down his emotions, he couldn't hide the disdain and mockery on his face!

Chu Jun smiled indifferently and said, "General Yang doesn't think so. How about we make a bet?"

"What are the odds?" Yang Yun blurted out.

"If this king fails to take down Shuangye City, this Beast-controlling City will be handed over to you!"

Yang Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chu Jun doubtfully, "Is that true?"

Chu Jun nodded and said, "Absolutely serious. Everyone present here can testify!"

Yang Yun heaved a long sigh of relief, "Then what if Sect Leader Chu managed to take down Shuangye City by luck?"

Yang Yun had always heard of Chu Jun's miraculousness, and he had personally witnessed it that day in the Guizhen Mountain Range. At this moment, he heard Chu Jun say that he wanted to take down Shuangye City . Although he knew that it was absolutely impossible, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Chu Jun jokingly said, "Let me think … If this king managed to take down Shuangye City by luck, General Yang might as well take refuge with this king. This king is lacking a Silver Warrier !"

Yang Yun's expression changed slightly, but Zhong Hua's eyes lit up as he lowered his head and drank his wine as if nothing had happened.

"Sect Leader Chu, are you joking?" Yang Yun said with a complicated expression.

Chu Jun said with a stern face, "Is this king joking? However, it doesn't seem to be a good deal to trade a city for a Silver Warrier . How about this, this king will add another one? If General Yang wins the bet, this king will take out another one from the eight cities of the Great Ming Prefecture and return it to Du Ru'nan !"

Yang Yun was dumbfounded. If he really wanted to return to a city from the Great Ming Manor, it would undoubtedly be a great contribution.

Chu Jun teased, "Why? Do you dare to bet?"

Yang Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll bet with you!"

Chu Jun laughed loudly and said, "Good courage, let's settle this!"

"Wait a moment. If Sect Leader Chu asks us for help, will our Azure Dragon Army ignore him?"

Chu Jun said, "Although this possibility is very small, this king is not completely impossible. This is good. Once this king asks the Azure Dragon Army for help, even if we capture Shuangye City, it will still be considered a loss. However, if your Azure Dragon Army took the initiative to help, this king will not be involved!"

Yang Yun nodded and secretly said, "If you don't ask for help, I will definitely not send troops. Dream on!"

"Then it's settled!" Chu Jun raised his palm and pointed it at Yang Yun.

The two of them struck three times in succession, and three times they swore an oath.

"Haha, General Yang, we will soon be one of our own!" Chu Jun smiled and patted Yang Yun's shoulder.

Seeing that Chu Jun was so confident, Yang Yun's heart started to beat. He asked, "How is Sect Leader Chu going to fight?"

Chu Jun smiled mysteriously and said, "This is a secret. It won't work if you tell it. General Yang, wait and see!"

Yang Yun suddenly felt a little guilty. If Chu Jun really took down Shuangye City, would he really want to join him? However, his family was still in Mingyang City . Once he joined Chu Jun, would the First Prince let go of his family?

Thinking of this, Yang Yun couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After carefully weighing it, it was indeed impossible for the Five Extremes Sect to take down Shuangye City with just that few people. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

At this moment, a cultivator quickly walked in from outside the hall and whispered a few words into Wei An's ear. The corner of Wei An's mouth revealed a strange smile. He stood up and greeted Chu Jun before leaving the hall.

Chu Jun's heart skipped a beat. His powerful divine sense swept across the city, and he immediately understood what was going on. He smiled at Yang Yun, whose expression was uncertain, and said, "Don't worry, although this king has never lost a bet, he might lose this time. General Yang's face is red, and he might win!"

Yang Yun couldn't help but be speechless.
