Chapter 582: Chapter 583 Preparation_1

It seemed to want to showcase its combat ability, as the Illusory Sound Parrot launched a massive fireball into the distance. When the fireball exploded in a distant forest, turning a small patch of land into a sea of flames, Feng Yuan laughed and patted the Illusory Sound Parrot, saying

"So you want to join the battle too?"

Proudly squawking, the Illusory Sound Parrot hadn’t found a chance to enter the fray in the previous battle. This time, it was determined to prove itself — this was to be its first real fight since it had learned attack techniques.

The Illusory Sound Parrot kept changing its attack methods, and although it was mostly switching among the water, fire, and wind elements, Feng Yuan naturally recognized that the Illusory Sound Parrot was selecting the most useful techniques for group combat. None of the techniques he had taught it — the ones unsuitable for group fights — were used.

Realizing the Illusory Sound Parrot wasn’t just hot-headed in its desire to fight, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"I didn’t expect your combat talent to be quite good. I thought you could master less than half of the techniques~"

Shaking its body proudly, the Illusory Sound Parrot called out in delight as Xiao Ji looked on disdainfully. Sensing Xiao Ji’s disdain, Feng Yuan scratched Xiao Ji’s head with a smile and said,

"You, on the other hand, are using borrowed strength, unlike someone using their own power."

Looking at Feng Yuan with a wronged expression, Xiao Ji didn’t want it to be this way. It was just that Xiao Ji had been born not long ago and simply couldn’t grow much in such a short time. The Illusory Sound Parrot, on the other hand, had naturally reached Elite Level due to its lengthy existence; it had the power but lacked the techniques to utilize it effectively.

"Your strength isn’t bad, but don’t go rushing to the front when it’s time to fight."

While stroking the Illusory Sound Parrot’s head, Feng Yuan smiled and spoke. Pleased with itself, the Illusory Sound Parrot continued showing off the techniques it had mastered amid the refugees, who initially thought they were being sneak-attacked by enemies. However, after a while without detecting anything amiss and sending someone to inquire, they discovered it was just practice.

Although they were inclined to ask Feng Yuan and his group to stop in order to avoid disturbing others, those people eventually held back their words. After a while, Mo Li came over and said,

"If possible, please refrain from practicing any further."

"It’s getting late, and it will disturb others."

Following Mo Li’s gaze, Feng Yuan saw the twinkling lights in the Zhuo Ya Clan’s camp slowly fading out, an indication that the Yingying insects were resting. Scratching his head, Feng Yuan apologized with a radiant smile,

"I’m sorry."

"It’s fine for us, but if there’s nothing important, you should also get some rest early."

Mo Li smiled understandingly; he had also spent many nights practicing with Zi Mo, giving Hu Weng and others a hard time.

As the Zhuo Ya Clan was relocating en masse, they weren’t travelling fast. Travelling light, Feng Yuan’s group overtook the Zhuo Ya the next day and set off alone on the road to Nanyu City. Along the way, more and more troops joined the official road to Nanyu City, causing the previously spacious road to become crowded.

Mountain bandits and the quite overt coalition forces occasionally attacked the crowds on the road, but not every counterattack was made by Feng Yuan and his group. Many soldiers and some who looked like generals were constantly protecting the people along the way. Feng Yuan and others only acted in places where there were no generals or soldiers to defend.

"I didn’t expect there to be so many strong individuals in Nanyu," Mo Ling exclaimed. She knew each country had its foundations, but the distance from Mingyu City to Nanyu City was substantial. After the initial stretch, every section of the road was guarded by generals and soldiers. Those generals were almost all at Legendary Level, and the frequency with which they had to engage in combat gradually decreased from often to almost never.

Mo Li sighed and said,

"They must have given up, otherwise there wouldn’t be so many people guarding along the way."

Yao Yin spoke with some confusion,

"The coalition is just letting them do this? Those people are barely holding on as it is; if..."

"They wouldn’t be doing this unless they were fools," Liu Wenli stated calmly, although her expression was somewhat grim. Hua Yiyou said helplessly,

"So they’re aiming to capture them all in one fell swoop..."

"Possibly, but what if something unexpected happens?" Guo Huai asked, puzzled. Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"Nanyu is willing to sacrifice most of its territory just to allow those willing to stick together to move as one. If they attacked those generals now..."

Continuing with a mysterious smile, Feng Yuan said,

"Have you forgotten about guerrilla warfare?"

"This..."

"Gathering together, there might be accidents, but in fact, those people might not be focusing all their energy on the Royal Court of Nanyu right now."

Liu Wenli looked at the surrounding crowd and calmly stated, with most people wearing an angry expression, one of reluctance. Hua Yiyou thought for a moment and said,

"There are too many countries involved. Now that such a big piece of pie has suddenly appeared, they will certainly be busy trying to divide it up rather than eliminate the threat."

"Those Nobles might not remain rational in the face of interests."

Liu Wenli smiled and said,

"Of course, those guys are too arrogant."

"Bei Yan really does have good fortune..."

Liu Wenli sighed softly, having escaped the control of Great Yan, the Bei Yan Region could also be regarded as a piece of fat meat. However, compared to Nanyu, the interests of Bei Yan simply couldn’t move those Nobles to resolve to fight to the death against Yimu Qingling. Of course, this was also because Liu Wenli didn’t know the terror of the Divine Beasts.

If she knew the true strength of those Divine Beasts, she probably would think the Bei Yan Region was too conservative.

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said in a low voice,

"That may not be the case. If they could recognize the problem in time, well and good, but if they continue like this, it’s not necessarily going to be any better than Nanyu in the future."

"Yimu Qingling?"

Liu Wenli tentatively asked. Glancing at Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan said,

"What else? The Divine Pact Makers don’t have the concept of hereditary succession. In fact, due to being exposed to wealth and luxury, their descendants are basically unable to meet the conditions to become Divine Pact Makers."

"Tsk! Those guys are just being pretentious..."

Guo Huai was halfway through speaking when he was stared at with a fierce gaze by the shadow of Agunas and Xiao Ji. Shrinking his head, Guo Huai moved aside to avoid their continuous ’deathly glare’ attack, and glancing at Guo Huai, Feng Yuan said unenthusiastically,

"If an ambitious person becomes a Divine Pact Maker, that would be the most troublesome. Not to mention anything else, if the King of Great Li became a Divine Pact Maker, who knows what could happen."

"He would conquer the surrounding countries? But it seems that the internal affairs of Great Li are not..."

"There’s more than one Divine Beast. If they keep expanding outward, angering other Divine Beasts is only a matter of time. And then, well, it would probably lead to a great war among the Divine Beasts, incidentally destroying a large area, indeed, it wouldn’t be anything special."

"No way!"

Hua Yiyou said in surprise, while Feng Yuan fondly stroked the fluffy body of Xiao Ji, saying,

"Why not? If they really started fighting, they won’t restrain themselves like they are now."

"Divine Beasts are too far from us, it’s useless to talk more. Instead, where are we going later?"

Liu Wenli interrupted the conversation, seeing Mo Li looking at her, Feng Yuan waved his hand, saying,

"Don’t look at me, I don’t mind."

"The situation inside the city is complex, and outside... it’s not suitable to be too close to the crowd, so..."

After scanning Hua Yiyou who was looking at her, Liu Wenli calmly said,

"Nan Zhu Lake, that area is a place where residents of Nanyu City usually relax. Although the environment is quite nice, it’s a distance from Nanyu City, so I guess not many people will be camping there."

Ignoring Feng Yuan, who was staring at her with expectant eyes, Mo Li after a long consideration said,

"If we go there, would it affect the plan to rescue Wei Dingwu?"

"No, I understand that guy. The real trouble is just when retreating. By then, she will definitely choose to cover the rear, but..."

Liu Wenli smiled without explaining, but everyone understood. Although those countries hadn’t launched a full assault yet, once Nanyu began to retreat, it wouldn’t necessarily stay that way. To totally eliminate the threat was something everyone understood. Initially, they cared not because they feared turning it into guerrilla warfare, but when they retreated, the united forces would undoubtedly launch a full-scale attack on the Royal Court of Nanyu.
