Chapter 428 -293: Thirty-Six King Generals

“General!”

“A scout has reported that the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army has appeared five hundred miles outside Qingyun City, and they will arrive soon!”

In the Qingyun City Mansion of Cloud Immortal Prefecture, a scout was respectfully reporting. A middle-aged general in armor heard it and his expression became extremely grave.

“The Divine Martial Dynasty’s swift actions!”

Lv Zhou’s heart sank.

He already knew about the fall of Taiyang Prefecture.

As a neighboring prefecture to Taiyang, Cloud Immortal Prefecture was bound to be the next target of the Divine Martial Dynasty.

In Lv Zhou’s view, although the Divine Martial Dynasty had conquered Taiyang Prefecture, it would take some time for them to stabilize the situation before they could continue their invasion.

But now.

From the fall of Taiyang Prefecture to the mobilization of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army, it was less than two days.

This rapid maneuver greatly shocked Lv Zhou.

Clearly.

The methods of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s general were far more formidable than he had imagined.

“Continue to scout, I want to know the number of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army and who is leading them!”

“Yes!”

The scout immediately withdrew.

Afterward.

Lv Zhou looked at another person in the main hall. The man in blue had an elegant appearance, looking like a scholar who couldn’t even truss a chicken.

However.

Facing this person, Lv Zhou’s expression was somewhat respectful.

“The Divine Martial Dynasty comes with powerful momentum. Taiyang Prefecture has fallen, and with the current defending force of Cloud Immortal Prefecture, it’s feared we can’t match them.

In the coming days, we must ask Lord Nan for assistance.”

Upon hearing this.

The scholar in blue smiled faintly: “Lord Nan, you’re too polite. The Star Dynasty and the Guiyuan Dynasty are closely aligned. Now that the Divine Martial Dynasty is invading, I cannot stand idly by.

I have heard that the leader of the Divine Martial Dynasty’s army this time is quite extraordinary. I would also like to see it for myself!”

“With Lord Nan here, I believe the Divine Martial Dynasty will not be a problem!”

Lv Zhou’s expression relaxed, and he smiled.

It’s no wonder he had such confidence in the elegant scholar before him; despite his gentle demeanor, he ranked ninth among the thirty-six King Generals of the Star Dynasty.

With him present, the Divine Martial Dynasty would not be able to cause a ruckus.

Of course.

If the Supreme Emperor of the Divine Martial Dynasty personally took action, that would be a different matter.

However, according to Lv Zhou’s understanding, that Supreme Emperor seldom intervened in worldly affairs, spending most of his time in seclusion. Thus, Lv Zhou wasn’t too worried.

——

In Cloud Immortal Prefecture.

The army was temporarily stationed to rest and reorganize.

Shi Zhen listened to his subordinates’ reports, his expression becoming much more serious.

“Thirty-six King Generals!”

“Nan Mo——”

It emerged in Shi Zhen’s mind, information about the opponent.

The thirty-six King Generals of the Star Dynasty were the most core strength of an Imperial Dynasty. Nan Mo was ranked ninth, his cultivation had already reached the Semi-Saint Realm.

More importantly.

Since his debut, he had fought numerous battles for the Star Dynasty and rarely lost.

Additionally, the strength of this ninth-ranked King General was overwhelming, with countless cultivators perishing at his hands.

Shi Zhen couldn’t help but take such a formidable opponent seriously.

“A Semi-Saint, indeed a considerable trouble!”

In the tent, other generals also looked serious, creating a stifling atmosphere.

After all, a strong man at the Semi-Saint Realm posed substantial pressure on them.

Moreover.

Name and reputation play a role.

Nan Mo was a great general of the Star Dynasty; his skills in leading troops and his personal strength were both not to be underestimated.

At that moment.

A subordinate general said: “If Qingyun City is guarded by this person, it will certainly cost us dearly to take the city.

But if we bypass Qingyun City, we will easily be attacked from both sides.

This matter is rather tricky!”

“Indeed… In my opinion, this matter needs thorough consideration and planning!”

Others nodded in agreement.

A Semi-Saint added pressure to them, diminishing the morale they gained from their victory in Taiyang Prefecture.

Shi Zhen’s expression became stern as he looked at everyone in the tent and said in a deep voice: “A Semi-Saint is not enough to make our army retreat.

“A Semi-Saint is still human and can die just the same!

“Now that our Divine Martial elite is here, what’s a ninth-ranked King General? Even if all thirty-six King Generals were present, under our million-strong cavalry, they would be annihilated!”

At that moment.

A soldier walked in from outside, bowed, and saluted: “General, Commander Gu requests an audience!”

“Invite him in quickly!”

Shi Zhen’s spirit lifted, and he immediately smiled.

Receiving the order, the soldier bowed and withdrew. Moments later, Gu Yi walked in carrying a black box on his back.

“Greetings, Lord Shi!”

“Commander Gu, courtesy!”

Shi Zhen hastily returned the salute, treating Gu Yi with great respect.

Although, in terms of rank, Shi Zhen was much higher than Gu Yi, but he knew well that the Jinyi Guard couldn’t be measured solely by rank.

This institution held an extremely special status, requiring Shi Zhen to treat it earnestly.

Of course.

There was another main reason.

It was that Gu Yi was also a top-tier expert in the Dao Palace Realm.

Shi Zhen knew very well what it meant to break through to the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm. Now that Gu Yi had also achieved the ninth layer, some things were tacitly understood.

It should be known.

Even the masters of the Heavenly Patrol Guard and the experts of the Evil Suppression Bureau had not received such an honor.

Gu Yi’s breakthrough clearly indicated how much Gu Yang valued him.

Then.

Shi Zhen asked: “Commander Gu, may I know if there are any instructions from the Emperor?”
