Chapter 912 Storm Brewing

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lian Dongcheng was one of the four cities that the Star-Blue Army had seized this time, but at this moment, the City Lord's Mansion welcomed an uninvited guest. Shen Xiaobao, the Star-Blue Army's Commander-in-Chief, was sitting on the throne with a golden knife, while a middle-aged male cultivator dressed as an essayist was standing under the hall. Under Shen Xiaobao's sharp gaze, he was extremely calm.

"Fang Xuanming, what did Du Wu send you for tonight? If you're here to persuade me, Shen Xiaobao, to surrender, then don't be so respectful!" Shen Xiaobao said straightforwardly.

"Haha, Marshal Shen has misunderstood. I am only here to deliver a message!" The middle-aged cultivator smiled politely and didn't feel the slightest bit displeased with Shen Xiaobao's rudeness.

"It's strange that you should work for the Heavenly Policy Manor's Ce Qing to deliver messages and run errands!" Shen Xiaobao asked curiously, "What letter did Du Wu ask you to send?"

Fang Xuanming gently wiped his storage belt and a breath storage pearl appeared on his hand. He smiled and said, "This was given to Marshal Shen by the Palace Lord!"

Seeing this, Shen Xiaobao became even more curious. Could it be that Du Wu used the Breath Storage Pearl to send a message to him?

A personal guard of Shen Xiaobao took the breath storage pearl from Fang Xuanming's hand and checked it before sending it to Shen Xiaobao. Shen Xiaobao received the Spiritual Energy and a screen of light suddenly appeared from the breath storage bead. A face that was filled with joy and anger appeared within the screen of light. Shen Xiaobao suddenly felt as if he was possessed by evil. His hand suddenly shook, and the breath storage bead fell onto the ground and rolled far away.

The faces of the personal guards in the hall changed drastically. They quickly took out their magic treasures and surrounded Fang Xuanming in the middle, as if they were facing a great enemy. Fang Xuanming, on the other hand, stood there calmly without moving. His gaze was fixed on Shen Xiaobao's reaction. He secretly admired Da Ceqing's brilliant plan. It seemed that Shen Xiaobao was indeed extraordinary towards Ning Yun. Seeing her image, he was actually so excited.

"You guys retreat!" Shen Xiaobao's expression changed as he waved back the guards. He spat out the spiritual energy in his right hand and sucked up the breath storage bead. He injected the spiritual energy back into the bead, and the image recorded in the bead immediately appeared again.

The scene recorded was of Ning Yun and a woman sitting in the hall drinking tea. Then, Du Wu and Liu Yong walked in. Finally, Ning Yun and Du Wu began to chat. The image disappeared here, only for a few dozen breaths of time. Shen Xiaobao looked at it again. His expression became more and more excited. Suddenly, he stared at Fang Xuanming with a sharp gaze and said coldly, "Is this true?"

Fang Xuanming said calmly, "Can't Marshal Shen recognize him?"

Shen Xiaobao forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Yun'er is already dead. This person must have been disguised by you!"

"Miss Ning Yun is not dead. This witch beside her is called Witch. Back then, they used the ancient teleportation array to escape. They only came out of seclusion from the sealed space recently. This image was recorded today!" Fang Xuanming said calmly.

Shen Xiaobao finally believed it. That was because Chu Jun had told him that day that there was a female disciple of the Heavenly Shaman Sect beside Ning Yun called a witch. He had even guessed that the witch might be able to repair Yun'er's soul with a soul tool. Now, it seemed like it had come true. However … why was Yun'er with Du Wu?

Fang Xuanming seemed to understand Shen Xiaobao's question. He smiled and said, "Miss Ning came to Star City first after coming out of seclusion. She happened to be recognized by Da Ceqing, so he brought her here. Right now, she is in Giant Wood City!"

Shen Xiaobao immediately understood that it must be Du Wu who tricked Ning Yun. Otherwise, how could she be with Du Wu? Thinking of the enmity between Du Wu and Chu Jun, Shen Xiaobao's heart skipped a beat, and killing intent burst out from his eyes like a wild beast with furious hair. Fang Xuanming, who had always been calm, couldn't help but be slightly shocked. He hurriedly said, "Shen Da Shuai, don't be impulsive. Miss Ning, everything is fine now and she hasn't suffered any harm!"

"I don't care about the grudge between Du Wu and Chu Jun, but you guys hurt Ning Yun. Otherwise, I, Shen Xiaobao, swear that even if we fight until the last soldier, we will not let Du Wu off!" Shen Xiaobao said fiercely.

Fang Xuanming said calmly, "Don't worry, our Palace Master doesn't need to make things difficult for a woman!"

Shen Xiaobao sneered, "Tell me, what condition does Du Wu need to be willing to release Ning Yun?"

Fang Xuanming did not beat around the bush and said frankly, "The requirements of the palace hall are not excessive. I just hope that the Star-Blue Army can block the ten thousand Chu troops of Tan Wei City when we negotiate tomorrow!"

A thought flashed through Shen Xiaobao's mind. He instantly understood what Du Wu was going to do. She actually wanted to take the lead against Chu Jun. In tomorrow's tripartite negotiations, Chu Jun was undoubtedly the number two figure, Li Xiangjun. Du Wu's direct target was obviously her. She wanted him to block the Chu Jun in Tan Wei City, so they had a chance to kill Li Xiangjun.

Shen Xiaobao inhaled a breath of cold air when he realized this. Li Xiangjun was Chu Jun's left arm and right arm. If she was killed, it would be equivalent to cutting off Chu Jun's arms. Du Wu was indeed ruthless, but was she confident that she could withstand Chu Jun's anger? Putting aside the powerful Chu Jun, Chu Jun alone could not be provoked by anyone. Once he retaliated, even if Du Wu hid in the Million Military Formation, he would not be able to escape death.

"You want to kill Li Xiangjun?" Shen Xiaobao asked in a deep voice.

"There's no need for Marshal Shen to care about this. As long as the Star-Blue Army blocks the Chu army of Tan Wei City for an hour, Palace Master will send Ning Yun here afterwards!" Fang Xuanming said indifferently.

Shen Xiaobao's expression changed. emotionally, Li Xiangjun had nothing to do with him, Ning Yun, on the other hand, was the one he valued the most. He didn't need to think about this multiple choice question to know how to choose. However, when he thought of Chu Jun's rage, Shen Xiaobao couldn't help but frown. He didn't understand why Du Wu had the confidence to deal with Chu Jun. Wasn't the fate of her father being killed last time not enough for her to learn a lesson?

Fang Xuanming did not urge him. He knew that Shen Xiaobao would eventually make the decision he wanted!

Sure enough, Shen Xiaobao gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I promise you. However, I will only be responsible for blocking the Chu army of Tan Wei City for an hour, and will not interfere with anything else!"

Fang Xuanming smiled and said, "Shen Da Shuai is indeed delighted!"

"But I want to see Ning Yun first!" Shen Xiaobao said coldly.

Fang Xuanming shook his head and said, "This can't be done …!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the temperature in the hall dropped sharply. Shen Xiaobao reached out his right hand and grabbed Fang Xuanming's throat. His speed was extremely fast, and the latter didn't even have room to dodge.

Shen Xiaobao stared coldly at Fang Xuanming whose face was filled with blood. As long as he spat out the spiritual energy from his fingers, he could crush Fang Xuanming's neck into pieces. However, although Fang Xuanming's face was completely red, his eyes were extremely calm. Obviously, he was predicting that Shen Xiaobao would not dare to really kill him.

"Tell Du Wu, if she dares to lie to me, I, Shen Xiaobao, promise that he will die!" Shen Xiaobao slowly loosened his grip and said coldly, "Send them over tomorrow. Otherwise, the Star-Blue Army will immediately send troops to attack the Chongming Army. They will not rest until they die!"

Fang Xuanming took a few deep breaths and his expression gradually returned to normal. Then, he cupped his fists and said, "Please keep your promise, Commander Shen. If any news leaks out, then we will be sending Ning Yun's corpse. Goodbye!" After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall.

A chill flashed through Shen Xiaobao's eyes. The sleeve of his right hand fluttered without wind, but it quietly calmed down in the end. He turned around and sat back in his seat, his gaze uncertain.

A tall figure walked in from outside the hall, wearing a silver wolf head mask.

"You really decided to do this?" The silver wolf said indifferently.

Early in the morning, a troop carrier rumbled out of Big Dipper City, carrying Li Xiangjun to the destination for tripartite talks, accompanied by Little Snow and Little Two as personal maids.

Chu Jun watched the ship leave. Suddenly, his heart felt a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but frown. Logically speaking, with Little Snow and Little Little accompanying him, plus Li Xiangjun's own strength was also at the Soul Refining Stage, there shouldn't be any problems. But why did he always have a bad premonition?

"Stinking dirt egg, why did you let Xiaoxiao go? Why didn't you let others go!" Ding Ding, who was beside him, pinched Chu Jun and complained.

Chu Jun instantly regained his senses and laughed, "What's the point of negotiating? Isn't it better to be with me?"

Ding Ding rolled his eyes at Chu Jun and said, "Hmph, there's no point in following you. I'm tired of either watching the army drill or going to see that bald man Shi Tai!"

"Then what do you want, my aunt?" Chu Jun said helplessly.

Ding Ding immediately smiled and said, "I want to go to Zhou Ri Zhou. I haven't been to Zhou Ri Zhou yet!"

Chu Jun's face darkened as he said resolutely, "No!"

"Why not?" Ding Ding pouted and snorted angrily.

"I just can't!"

"I'll bite you!" Ding Ding rushed forward with his teeth and claws open, but before he could take advantage of it, he was lifted up by Chu Jun and beaten twice on his pretty buttocks.

Ding Ding was immediately embarrassed and angry, "Stinky dirt egg, big turtle duck egg, I'm not done with you!" After saying that, he scratched and scratched Chu Jun's body randomly, and then stomped on the upper of a certain person's shoe. Only then did he flee with a grin as if he had taken advantage of Chu Jun.

Chu Jun's mood relaxed a lot after being messed up by this naughty guy. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He went to the construction site of the teleportation array to see the bald man Shi Tai that Ding Ding spoke of.

At this moment, Shi Tai was instructing Ivan and the others to set up a teleportation array. Because this array was teleported back to Xingfeng City and was less than 100,000 kilometers away, it was not difficult for Shi Tai. All it needed was time.

"Martial Aunt, how long will this teleportation array last?" Chu Jun asked.

"As fast as ten days, eight days, half a month later!" Shi Tai said without raising his head.

"Can you hurry up!"

Shi Tai looked up at Chu Jun in astonishment and said, "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry to use it? If you don't drop the people from Beichen City, you should be able to handle it in three to five days!"

Chu Jun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, bring Lan Qi'er and the others over. We'll settle the teleportation array here first, and then we'll find out which side of Beichen City it is!"

'"Then I'll transfer people immediately!" Shi Tai said hurriedly. As he spoke, he ran away.

Chu Jun couldn't help but laugh. This fellow wasn't so much about transferring people as going to see Lan Qi'er. For such a trivial matter as transferring people, there was a need for the dignified Chief Array Mage to personally go.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly rushed over and saluted Chu Jun. Then, he reported loudly, "Lord King Chu, someone outside the city has sent over a breath storage pearl and a gui jian, saying that they will hand it over to you!"

Chu Jun raised his sword-like eyebrows. The guard took the Gui Jian and the Breath Storage Pearl in his hand. He first glanced at the Gui Jian and his expression immediately changed. He said in a low voice, "Where is the messenger?"

"Put down your things and leave!"

Chu Jun was lost on the spot and appeared outside Big Dipper City in the next moment.
