A moment later, Chu Feng suggested to Divine General Ling Feng, "The enemy is currently in great defeat, and their commander has been killed. We should take advantage of our victory and pursue them to expand our gains. Otherwise, when the enemy appoints a new commander, they will surely come back with a vengeance."

Right now is an unparalleled opportunity.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Elder Feng Zhenqing shook his head repeatedly, "No, absolutely not, never chase a desperate enemy. Although the enemy is defeated, their strength is still intact. If we pursue hastily, we might easily fall into the enemy’s ambush."

"Moreover, if our army pursues the enemy and the enemy dispatches another force to lurk near the Demon Sea Pass, taking advantage of our absence to breach the pass, not only will we lose the pass, but we will also trap ourselves and be left with no escape route but to await death."

Feng Zhenqing spoke reasonably and seemed convincing.

Divine General Ling Feng was already a timid and conservative person by nature.

Hearing Elder Feng Zhenqing speak so, he was even more reluctant to take the risk of pursuing the enemy.

"Cough... Chu Feng, considering we’ve just won a hard-fought battle, perhaps we should just leave it at that! Before departing from the Imperial City, the Vermilion Bird Emperor instructed me that as long as we held the Demon Sea Pass, it would be a significant achievement."

Divine General Ling Feng didn’t dare to outright reject Chu Feng’s suggestion.

He expressed his thoughts very tactfully.

After all, Chu Feng had twice displayed immense divine power, achieving unparalleled feats each time. It can be said that the reason the Demon Sea Pass held and turned the tables is at least seventy percent due to Chu Feng’s efforts.

Chu Feng, seeking revenge on the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, naturally didn’t want to be confined within the city.

"Feng Zhenqing, you old coward, with your crafty words, you are confusing Divine General Ling Feng and wasting this golden opportunity. I won’t argue with you further; this matter will be reported up to the Vermilion Bird Emperor to decide."

Chu Feng realized that relying on these two people to eliminate the Azure Dragon Kingdom was as far-fetched as a dream.

In extreme anger, Chu Feng prepared to escalate the matter.

He also wanted to gauge the attitude and character of the Vermilion Bird Emperor.

If the Vermilion Bird Emperor turned out to be unreliable, then Chu Feng would no longer rely on the Vermilion Bird Country but would act independently, leading his men to assassinate the top experts of the Azure Dragon Kingdom.

Eventually forcing the Panlong Heavenly Emperor to confront him.

Years ago, when Chu Feng encountered the Panlong Heavenly Emperor, his cultivation was around the Nine-star Sword God level.

Now, many years have passed, and even Chu Feng has advanced to the Two-star Sword God Realm, so the Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s cultivation likely has also made significant breakthroughs.

The chances of advancing to Supreme Sword God cultivation are quite high.

"Do you think I’m afraid of you? Reason isn’t determined by volume. Although your combat strength is impressive, you know nothing about military strategy. If Divine General Ling Feng took your advice and sent the army to pursue, that would be truly dangerous. Don’t think that after two victories, you can become arrogant. I’ll tell you, I’ve crossed more bridges than you’ve walked roads."

"Kid, you’re still inexperienced, and many things aren’t as simple as you think."

Feng Zhenqing, having twice had his limelight stolen by Chu Feng, was furious at being scolded harshly by Chu Feng. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Feng Zhenqing immediately became infuriated, retorting without holding back.

Engaging in a verbal clash with Chu Feng.

He also tried to assert himself by virtue of his seniority, behaving condescendingly in front of Chu Feng.

"Alright, alright, both of you are key figures of our Demon Sea Battlefield, don’t let a small matter harm the relationship. In my opinion as a general, we should not pursue for now. If there’s another opportunity, we can send out the army to charge and kill outside the pass then."

Divine General Ling Feng quickly stepped in as the peacemaker.

Otherwise, if Chu Feng and Elder Feng Zhenqing started fighting, it would be problematic.

Chu Feng’s combat power is terrifyingly strong; he could kill a Supreme Sword God in an instant if provoked. Such a person is not one to be trifled with.

"Another opportunity? Divine General Ling Feng, do you think fighting a war is like playing children’s games?"

Chu Feng was outraged, refusing to compromise.

"If Divine General Ling Feng doesn’t agree to immediately dispatch forces to pursue, then report the matter up, let the Vermilion Bird Emperor decide. I believe the Vermilion Bird Country’s Wenyuan Pavilion, Grand Scholar Hall, and the cabinet ministers are not fools. They will definitely give the most unbiased advice and evaluations."

Chu Feng insisted on reporting the matter up.

For him, it might be a good opportunity.

Seeing his firm stance, Divine General Ling Feng had no other choice.

He reluctantly agreed, "Alright, I will immediately send a report by flying letter!" With that, Divine General Ling Feng took out a pitch-black rhinoceros horn.

It had strange spiral patterns, which were the most natural symbols of heavens and earth.

This black rhinoceros horn wasn’t from an ordinary ox but a Spirit Rhinoceros Horn.

It is said that understanding its subtleties connects hearts and minds.

Its function is very simple, used for transmitting sounds across thousands of miles. Even ten thousand, or a hundred thousand miles.

Divine General Ling Feng sat quietly with his eyes closed and placed the black Spirit Rhinoceros Horn against his brow. One could faintly sense waves of the Divine Soul emanating from the tip of the horn.

A Spirit Rhinoceros has two horns, and after they’re removed and refined with a secret technique, they gain the ability to transmit sound over vast distances.

One person holds one horn.

Even if they are separated by ten thousand miles, if one party needs to communicate with the other, they simply need to place the rhinoceros horn on the forehead.

Then call out to the other with the power of thought.

Very quickly, the person holding the other horn can sense it.

This ability is similar to a cell phone’s ringtone upon incoming calls.

Using the Spirit Rhinoceros Horn for remote military command and staying updated with battlefield changes is incredibly advantageous.

The downside is that the Spirit Rhinoceros Horns are extremely rare, and the method for crafting such magical treasures has long been lost.

The ones available today were crafted by great figures during the Ancient Times and preserved till now.

After about 15 minutes, Divine General Ling Feng had thoroughly reported the matter. The decision wouldn’t be quick; it awaited discussion by the cabinet, Grand Scholars Hall ministers before a verdict was given.

Those who enter the cabinet, Grand Scholars Hall, are all intellectuals of extraordinary wisdom.

This group was the think tank of the entire Vermilion Bird Country.

They assisted the Vermilion Bird Emperor in managing the kingdom’s military and state affairs. Almost ninety-nine percent of the decisions were deliberated by them, then approved by the Vermilion Bird Emperor.

And subsequently implemented by the subordinates.

Standing atop the fortress, Chu Feng looked at the fleeing enemy army and sighed inwardly.

An excellent opportunity had been missed.

During the wait, Chu Feng didn’t remain idle. He gifted the string of green Jade Beads and the unused Magic Shield to his two wives.

Ultimately, the Magic Shield was given to Han Shuang, and the green Jade Beads to Han Xiaoying.

Both women felt a bit jealous of each other, but Chu Feng quickly reassured them, promising to secure more spoils of war for both in the future.

Assuring them that no favor would favor one over the other.

Only then did the two beauties smile and avoid conflict.
