Chapter 319: Chapter 319 Turning the Tables

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

With a thought rising, Chai Yuan instantly made his mind up. Suman who was standing beside him had eyes filled with rage, getting off the horse and half kneeling, “Duke, please give the order. With our army’s current situation we can only fight with our backs facing the wall! Even if Suman dies here, I will take the enemy down with me!”

“Good!”

Chai Yuan laughed out loud, filled with solemn and stirring energy.

In the next moment, he was startled. He saw the situation under the mountain had changed.

Yue Linghuan who was wearing silver armor, originally sitting arrogantly on the horse, had suddenly turned ashen white. His face looked like it was filled with fear and terror.

That fear was spreading swiftly. In just a short moment, the tens of silver armored soldiers along with the ten thousand heavy armored Guards had suddenly become chaotic. They won’t as committed and iron-like before.

Even that huge flag with all the words was put away.

15 minutes later, the 200 thousand soldiers retreated. They went back into the camp. Before they had high morale, filled with disdain towards Gantian Mountain Side, but now they were retreating in a really bad looking manner.

They even didn’t stop to bother about those 50 thousand empty-handed Subordinate city soldiers.

Moreover, they didn’t seem to have the intention to continue to defend the camp. The retreated directly like they were afraid that their speed was too slow. They forcefully abandoned many of their heavy equipment.

“What is happening?”

Chai Yuan was at a total loss, his chest was still filled with rage. However, he didn’t understand what was happening with Yue Linghuan.

Were they tempting the enemy to strike? There didn’t seem to be such a need. Something changed in the backline. How was that possible?

Taoyun City was west of the Cloud Continent, on an island that spread 250 miles. Tens of years of battles let them occupy 4 provinces of the land close to the shore. The enemy that was connected to them was only Yunxia and Gantian Mountains.

After allying with Yunxia and Blazing Flame Mountain, they didn’t have any more of such worries.

“Did Yunxia City and Blazing Flame City break the alliance?”

Suman was also feeling weird. However the moment he said that he shook his head. If the 2 cities wanted to backstab their ally, they wouldn’t have waited for when the 3 fleets were still beneath the cloud ocean when they were all hunting together.

He turned behind only to see that the Jiefu City and other city’s 200 thousand troops that had just arrived were also retreating. However, compared to Taoyun City, they were in more panic. After several miles, they split up into groups and crazily dashed into the distance like they wished they could grow more legs to run faster. There were even cases of armies fighting for paths at some narrow points, even stepping and trampling over one another.

Suman was feeling even more curious. He knew that something had occurred and it had to be a hugely influential matter.

Who knows what had happened to cause Yue Linghuan and Jiefu and Fushuang City to be so terrified?

Gantian Mountain’s darkness guard system was built up by Zong Weiran and was known for being quick with obtaining news. Why were they so inefficient this time? Even people from Jiefu City found out, and they were still kept in the dark.

Chai Yuan looked at his hands at a loss, thinking about when did him cultivate his killing energy to such a level?

Just as his fighting spirit rose up, those people were immediately forced to retreat. Although he was known as a famous general, it wasn’t to the extent where it made one feel despair and fear?

At this moment he wanted to chase but he worried there was a scheme going on. Just as he had a thousand thoughts but no answers, a bright light flew across through the air.

“A Flying message talisman?”

Chai Yuan looked out, only to see that it was indeed a talisman in the air. He was startled. When did their Gantian Mountain become so rich?

They weren’t using the cheap and reusable red Swift bird but the several times faster and more expensive flying message talisman?

He felt weird in his heart. He eagerly grabbed it with his hand, grasping using his true qi and catching the talisman.

His expression was really interesting, from total joy to a little disbelief.

Suman was getting more and more impatient from the wait, asking eagerly, “duke what happened at Gantian Mountain to use the flying message talisman to send news?”

Only then did Chai Yuan’s expression return to normal. His hand was still trembling as he passed the message to Suman.

“It’s news from Zong Gang. He said that he had heard the news that a few days ago the ruler found a beast tomb under the cloud ocean. He used 800 energy destroying crossbows, from tens of miles out, with the help of a beast wave, to cause the 4 thousand cloud ships from the 3 cities to nearly be fully wiped out. Only a hundred-odd of them returned. It was said that Lingyun Sect disciples were there. Not only was the ruler not to blame but he had also returned with his bags full after destroying the beast wave...”

After he finished, his expression was a bit hesitant, “The official news isn’t out yet. This is just from some of the survivors from the cloud ship who managed to escape. Does commander Su believe it?”

Suman was shocked. A beast tomb? Even the smallest scale one was worth 8 million and above beast crystals! It was pretty much several times the income of previous trips.

And also that undeniably strong, an aura like flames surging into the heavens, those 4 thousand cloud ships were all destroyed beneath the cloud ocean? 1.4 million and above elite soldiers were all killed?

The first thought in his head was how was that possible? Then he thought back to those retreating Taoyun City soldiers. If it wasn’t for such a huge change, with the pride of Yue Linghuan, how would he become so terrified?

His brain switched thoughts once more, taking in a deep breath, “If it was someone else, I wouldn’t believe it, but if it is the ruler then it might be possible!”

“I also believe it! So it is time for this world to change!”

Chai Yuan looked into the sky, his face tense up like iron. Only his eyes were like magma of a volcano, on the verge of exploding.

“For the ex ruler to have such a son, he would be so delighted down there! Months after inheriting the throne, he returned our Gantian Mountain to its past glory. The ruler didn’t insult his father’s glory!”

Two lines of tears suddenly flowed down from the corner of his eyes. He immediately looked away, activating true qi to evaporate the tears. Following which he laughed out loud, pointing the giant ax in his hand into the distance.

“The ruler is so talented, Gantian Mountain will regain our old land and unify Donglin! Before he comes back we can wipe out these 700 thousand Taoyun City forces as a gift for him!”

Different from before, there wasn’t any feeling of valiantly pursuing death, their morales were surging high.

The green veins popped in Chai Yuan’s arms. Before this, he had a belly full of rage building up in his tummy that he needed to vent.

Suman was startled and broke into a smile, “Since vast country duke has these intentions, Suman will oblige. However, the important thing now is to swiftly send someone to Huanlong Province to contact our old Gantian forces.”

“Old forces? I have that intention. They are getting lucky!”

Laughing involuntarily, Chai Yuan scoffed. When Gantian Mountain was at its strongest, it originally had 9 provinces of land. Huanlong Province was one of them. Originally, they forcefully took it from Taoyun City. Following the disappearance of Zong Weiran, it fell back into Taoyun City’s control.

Half of the reason was because Gantian Mountain retreated to consolidate their territory. The bigger reason was that the cities within all changed sides.

Who knows whether or not they would regret their decision of betraying Gantian Mountain when they find out that the famous 3 cities had worked together and still lost to the ruler. They not only came back empty-handed from the cloud ocean hunt but also lost nearly all their ships.

Now he wanted to look at the expressions of these people who pride themselves for being good at their work. He also knew that these people were worried about having no ways of joining Gantian Mountain.

The betrayal of Jiefu and Fushuang City made him furious and also helpless. Now he wanted to let Yue Linghuan know the feeling of being betrayed!

...

On Psychic Island, the place Zong Shou was at chanted. He knew that Qiao Han might have big business to discuss. Zong Shou didn’t bother to show any courtesy, moving from the dock into the Kongi Hall.

As for Lin Ji, he was blocked outside the door. Zong Shou predicted the reason why he would come. He was lazy to meet him and waste time.

“Your Kongqi Sect wants to take 500 thousand grade 4 and above military equipment and spiritual artifacts deal? Do you also want to participate in the Ying Dragon Canyon matter? Then what do we stand to get from this?

Following which Zong Shou’s tone changed, weirdly saying, “You all have confidence in me. In the past, our yearly income was just 300 thousand best crystals. To get 500 thousand in a year is a huge deal.”

“That is in the past. Now the spiritual wave is about to begin. Our Kongqi Sect is confident in the ruler and Gantian Mountain!”

Qiao Han was grumbling in his heart. Not mentioning the expansion of Gantian Mountain, close to double the army strength next year, just the 50-60 million in your pocket was enough to make one greedy. Even if you don’t earn any money now, you could support anyone for tens of years. Your wealth could compare to countries. Even the treasury of Kongqi Sect can’t compare to that.

However, he couldn’t say that.

“As for benefits, there are 5 Xuanwu ancestors and 3 return to sun realm spirit masters to aid your highness! My sect won’t join in wars of the world, but if other sects attack Gantian Mountain, they can be used by your highness!”

Zong Shou curled his lips, his heart filled with disdain. With just this 8 people you want to take away 500 thousand beast crystal of business? In the next instance, he heard Qiao Han say, “Naturally my sect will help your highness block experts above the ascended realm!”

Only then did Zong Shou understand. He was tempted now. However, he asked curiously, “Won’t your sect be afraid to annoy Lingyun Sect? These Donglin sects might not be willing to see your Kongqi Sect cooperate with my Gantian.”

Qiao Han’s expression changed like he knew that the moment this agreement was agreed what kind of outcome would occur. Following which he smiled softly, his face filled with decisiveness.

Zong Shou instantly understood. Pill Fountain Sect disciples relied on pill refining to cultivate whilst the Kongqi sect relied on comprehending the heaven and earth path while they refined artifacts.
