Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 664: Chapter 546: Are You Pregnant?_1

Inside the Chenghuang main hall, Zhonglie Duke Wen regained his consciousness and, after a single, significant glance towards Li Xuan, slightly acknowledged him by nodding his head before closing his eyes again and fading into a state of seclusion.

Both were filled with the spirit of the hero, an overwhelming sense of nobility that drove them to greatness in a world of strife. There was no need for many words between two hearts full of mutual understanding.

Zhang Xun knew from reading Li Xuan’s written words what kind of personality this younger generation Confucianist had; Li Xuan knew from how his own Hao Qi inspired Zhang Xun’s True Spirit and helped him regain his composure that they shared a common disposition, being of the same kind.

Zhang Xun needed all his mental strength to battle against the Saintess White Lotus, leaving him with no energy to pay attention to anything else.

Li Xuan, however, focused his attention elsewhere.

He knew that when Zhang Xun woke up, it only meant they regained one city, avoiding completely losing their chances of winning.

But their situation was still far from good.

"Liuru, do you know where Xue Yunrou, Luo Yan, Ao Shuying, and Dugu Biluo are? Also, my mount, and Lord Huang, Huang Wuhuan."

As for that ’Prince Anburo’, Deji Yangzong, and the Queen of the Bashe, Li Xuan had forgotten them.

Casting an enchantment with a stamp of his feet, Shi Liuru brought forth a silver mirror in front of him. This mirror projected a three-dimensional map, displaying the entire landscape of the Underworld before his eyes.

Shi LiURu scratched his chin paws, distressedly said, "I can’t disclose their specific locations, it’s because their positions are constantly changing. Now inside the Underworld, many heavenly level existences like Zhang Guanlan are aiding the Saintess of the White Lotus’s ’None-born Miaoshan Vacuum Enchantment’, trying to split them off and surround them to kill."

Li Xuan carefully observed for a while and found out that indeed, the positions of Xue Yunrou and the rest were constantly changing.

It wasn’t very frequent, probably changing once every half Shichen. Whenever they faced danger, they would be moved forcibly by Duke Wen Zhonglie’s Divine Power, to other locations.

Lv Qiluo pointed out, "Pay attention. This woman is scheming. She is using this method to exhaust Duke Wen Zhonglie’s Divine Power."

Li Xuan squinted his eyes, "Then what about Zhao Xixue? Liuru, do you know where Zhao Xixue is?"

By instinct, he knew that this Princess Xixue was key to the plans of Saintess White Lotus.

"Zhao Xixue?" Shi Liuru tilted his head. "Is it the Princess Xixue who is one of the Double Princesses of Quanzhen? She has also entered? I don’t know about this woman, but if she has also entered, she should be at this position."

"Liuru, can you allow me to unify with Jiang Hanyun? Also, let Zhonglie Duke Wen keep Dugu Biluo at this position, and no longer shift her location in the future."

Shi Liuru appeared slightly troubled. "Saintess White Lotus wouldn’t agree. She would not let you converge with them."

"Therefore, I chose Hanyun and Biluo, not the others. Do you understand the tactic of feinting east but attacking west? She would be even less likely to allow me to converge with Luo Yan, or Ao Shuying, Xue Yunrou and the others. As long as Zhonglie Duke Wen shows such an attitude, she will definitely guard against it with all her might, and will no longer care about other matters."

"Moreover, currently, how many soldiers and horses are in the Underworld, give them all to me."

At this point, a cold smile broke on Li Xuan’s face as he touched his right arm.

On that day, he dared to march into the Underworld under such circumstances; it was not without support.

"Besides, there is still something I need Shi Liuru’s help with--"

※※※※

When Li Xuan walked out of the Chenghuang main hall, Jiang Hanyun had already been shifted to his front.

"Li Xuan?"

Jiang Hanyun looks surprised upon seeing Li Xuan. However, her expression then immediately changes as she starts to dry-heave, occasionally spitting out stomach acid.

The little Lei on her shoulder is also in the same state, portraying an expression of complete despair.

Li Xuan gives Jiang Hanyun a puzzled look, and jokingly asks, "What happened to you? You’re not pregnant, are you?"

He wonders how could Jiang Hanyun, a cultivator of her level, experience nausea?

But then, Li Xuan suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and instinctively glanced above his head with a sense of panic, luckily the world seemed normal.

"You’re the one who’s pregnant!"

As she dry heaved, Jiang Hanyun waved a small fist at him: "Try being moved around for five days in a row by the Cosmic Swap Technique! I’ve had enough. That White Lotus, once my cultivation improves, I’ll let her taste her own so-called ’None-born Miaoshan Vacuum Enchantment’ and see how she likes it!"

Li Xuan thought back to the day he first experienced the Cosmic Swap Technique, a sensation akin to being rolled around in a washing machine drum. He completely understood Jiang Hanyun’s predicament.

It took a long while for Jiang Hanyun to catch her breath. She walked back, looking pale but concerned, and asked Li Xuan:

"Li Xuan, are you ok?"

"I’m fine." Li Xuan was also looking at her: "Are you alright? Aren’t you always up for a fight? This time, you’ll be able to enjoy it."

"Really?" Jiang Hanyun’s eyes sparkled, her spirits picked up immediately.

Then, she ’hmm-ed’, adopting a well-behaved, ladylike demeanor. "What do you mean I love fights? You make it sound like I’m some kind of a violent maniac."

But her small fists were already crackling like popping edamame beans.

"Li Xuan, who are you going to beat up? I’ll help you. Is it Saintess White Lotus?"

"Let’s dismantle her lotus throne."

Li Xuan spoke while looking ahead, where almost a hundred thousand underworld soldiers had assembled inside Mingtu.

Panguan of both the civil and military under the command of Duke Wen Zhonglie, eight Divine Generals, twenty Yeyoushen, and eighty Yeyoushen had all arrived one after another.

"Marquis of Guanjun!"

The military Panguan under Duke Wen Zhonglie, famed front and center, was Wang Jian, a famous general from the Later Zhao period.

This man was particularly good at defense, known in his life as ’a pillar of Fish Rock, supporting half the wall’. He held off Meng Wu for more than twenty years with a single city’s strength, a Later Zhao grand general on par with Yue Wumu and Han Liangchen.

When he died, the fortunes of Later Zhao collapsed.

Upon seeing Li Xuan, Wang Jian gave a bitter smile: "I, under Duchenghuang’s orders, led an army to overthrow the White Lotus Saintess’ ’LianTai’. However, after several defeats and losses of tens of thousands of ghostly soldiers, I failed in my duty. I feel ashamed."

But after saying this, Wang Jian looked at Li Xuan with a questioning gaze: "Duchenghuang ordered us to follow Marquis of Guanjun to overthrow the White Lotus Saintess’ Liantai, yet I don’t know what kind of military strategy you intend to use, Marquis?"

"General Wang, are you worried that a hasty attack will result in another defeat?" Li Xuan looked at him calmly: "I just asked Shi Liuru and learned that General Wang’s defeat was not your fault, It was due to circumstances.

Beijing’s underworld has been peaceful for a long time and doesn’t have a strong army. Although there are more than a hundred thousand ghost soldiers, they are peaceful in nature and lack aggressiveness. They are no match for the Buddha soldiers created by the followers of the White Lotus Sect.

Our army has no superiority in terms of combat power and has voluntarily entered the enemy’s prepared battlefield without understanding their lotus base. This is a case of not knowing ourselves and not knowing the enemy. Under these circumstances, how can we not be defeated? Your ability to stay organized amidst defeat and preserve most of your ghost soldiers’ strength proves your abilities."

Wang Jian thought to himself that Li Xuan’s military strategies far surpassed those of his Duchenghuang.

He had originally advised Duke Wen Zhonglie to hold onto the city and wait for an opportunity to strike.

Even if they had to fight, they couldn’t foolishly run onto others’ turf.

But Duke Wen Zhonglie was determined to quell the situation as soon as possible and forced Wang Jian to lead an attack.

As a result, they not only suffered losses and casualties, but also lost all their cities in Mingtu except for Beijing.

Wang Jian then frowned: "Marquis of Guanjun, if you knew that the ghost soldiers of the underworld were not up for field battles, why did you insist on making us attack?"

However, Wang Jian saw something on Li Xuan and his eyes lit up, his face showed a look of excitement.

"Interesting, is it this thing? haha! Since you have such a force at your disposal, I’ll gamble with you!"

He stopped resisting Duke Wen Zhonglie’s order to attack and began to organize his soldiers.

This man was one of the top generals in the world during his life, far surpassing Li Xuan in military tactics.

The eighty thousand ghost soldiers were quickly orderly under his command, and in less than an hour, they stormed out of the city gates in a grand procession.

While Wang Jian was getting his soldiers ready, Li Xuan went to look for Dugu Biluo.

When he found her, he saw Dugu Biluo sitting cross-legged under the eastern city wall.

Several fierce ghosts and evil spirits were desperately charging and biting towards her.

Dugu Biluo ignored them. She sat there under the Huntian Zhenyuan Cauldron, looking disinterested in life.

When she saw Li Xuan and the others arrive, Dugu Biluo didn’t react much, she just glanced quietly in Li Xuan’s direction.
