Chapter 1174: Chapter 54 Meng Shuai’s Military Career Complete [Combined Volume] 2 Chapter 1174: Chapter 54 Meng Shuai’s Military Career Complete [Combined Volume] 2 “The unsaid had to be acknowledged: the strength of the numerous Demon Princes and Princesses truly enhanced throughout this ordeal, attaining new insights constantly.”

“Even this progress alone made the tiring protection by Demon Emperors worthwhile. What does a little hardship matter after all?!”

“The leaps in strength of these youngsters were imminent, visible to the naked eye, and filled with promise!”

“Whenever they were in the secluded wilderness of the mountains, and an opportunity arose, Feng Ying would engage the two at breakneck speed and battle fiercely.”

“Such battles usually ended with several princes and princesses injured, allowing the two to break through and catch a temporary reprieve.”

“For the chase was still on.”

“During such battles, the aura and commanding presence of the dozen Demon Emperors would collectively unleash once.”

“The message was simple and straightforward, serving as a warning.”

“Our children want to test themselves against you. They can be ruthless; you cannot!”

“Otherwise, we will intervene!”

“Go ahead and try; if you’re not afraid of dying, just try!”

“Understanding the implications, Purple Emperor and White Rainbow were infuriated, yet dared not lay a fatal blow.”

“The current situation was stronger than them, what could they do but comply?”

“If it were a singular race, it might have been manageable, but looking at the current circumstances, it must be that all races of demonkind are involved…”

“No, it is definitely all the races of demonkind!”

“If those Demon Emperors truly appeared and surrounded them, the two would indeed be finished, truly without an escape!”

“Although they were trapped animals still fighting, there was still room to maneuver, and perhaps a chance to escape!”

“Even if the two were heavily injured and their combat power compromised, just the joint encirclement by over a dozen Demon Emperors wasn’t much of a concern for them; breaking through together would still be manageable.”

“The real problem, instead, was that cat and its dear little sibling—that Little Black snake.”

“The two had a balanced speed and attack force, proving to be the main force in this chase, while that Little Black snake, heavens know what it was, was just so venomous, possessing a terrifying effectiveness enough to kill both!”

“Even though this group of young demons had deep foundations and remarkable strength, their battle experience was indeed shallow and they were still easy to outplan. After the two combined forces and meticulously schemed, they had multiple opportunities to capture demons at hand, nearly succeeding, only to be thwarted by a burst of poisonous mist from that creature, forcing them to retreat.”

“Not retreating wasn’t an option, as their protective auras were completely incapable of resisting. Even slight contact would cause their bodies to decay!”

“After successive unsuccessful plots, as the young demons’ battle experience rapidly improved, the two simply decided to dash in a particular direction.”

“Planning to seek help from the other Nine Colors supremes, whether Hidden Blade or Yellow Wind, any one of them would suffice for an escape.”

“After all… this battle was also a confrontation orchestrated by demonkind against the human Nine Colors supremes, not just an internal matter among them; the other Nine Colors beings couldn’t just stand by idly.”

“Furthermore, for Purple Emperor and White Rainbow, once they found help, it was no longer a matter of wanting to help or not…”

“With Feng Ying, Little Black, and the group of princes and princesses trailing in a roaring pursuit…”

“This chase, no one dared say when it could end; it seemed… it could go on indefinitely.”

“…”

“Eight months later.”

“Above the walls of Capital City of Chu Country, the Yellow Dragon Banner representing Chu Country was personally taken down by Meng Fang and replaced with the Black Dragon Banner of Qin country!”

“This marked the downfall of Chu Country.”

“With that, Great Qin unified the realm.”

“General Wang Jian personally took action to cleanse Chu Country of remnants, hunting down the regional princes of Chu.”

“And the great army led by Meng Fang triumphantly returned to the Capital.”

“Though the campaign appeared smooth, it had nonetheless lasted a full three years.”

“By now, Great Qin was completely astir!”

“For the first time in countless ages, the continent was unified under one rule!”

“A goal that countless ambitious sovereigns had dreamed of but never achieved!”

“Today, it was accomplished!”

“Accomplished through the hands of the current Qin Emperor!”

“This was a matter for celebration, a universal jubilation.”

“Meng Fang naturally could no longer stay away.”

“Another reason for his swift return… around the time of Qi country’s downfall, the Qin Emperor’s attitude towards him had changed.”

“Meng Fang attributed this to the unpredictable heart of an emperor, or perhaps he feared his own powerful control over the troops might overshadow his ruler.”

“But he didn’t know that the true reason for the Qin Emperor’s change in attitude was Qing Ming reporting that Feng Ying had appeared anew, and as news of Feng Ying chasing Purple Emperor spread, the Qin Emperor naturally altered his dealings with Meng Fang—”

“Since the cat appeared, it meant the traces of Doctor Feng had reemerged.”

“This… drastically reduced the possibility that Meng Fang was the incarnate trial of Feng Yin.”

“Initially, the Qin Emperor’s favor and trust in Meng Fang, no, even more the trust, were primarily because he suspected him to be Feng Yin’s incarnate trial.”

“Although the emperor’s favor towards Meng Fang remained, his attitude inevitably had to change.”

“And the most apparent change was… the addition of a new eunuch in the military ranks.”

“This change in attitude was something both the Qin Emperor and Meng Fang were acutely aware of.”

“Based on this, after conquering Chu Country, Meng Fang promptly returned to court.”

“From his million-strong army, he left sixty thousand with Wang Jian.”

“Leading four hundred thousand back to the Capital, sprinkling troops as garrisons along the way until, at three hundred miles outside Xianyang City, they were the original two hundred thousand troops he had initially led from the Capital City.”

“Stationed there.”

“Meng Fang returned to Capital City with only a handful of officers, in simple attire, no longer displaying the imposing aura and dignified stature of a general.”
