Chapter 1043: Chapter 709: The Lord of Tianfeng City Has No One to Use

General Shan roared in anger: "Bei Family, you are incredibly bold to openly stand with the Free Heaven Country against me!"

The Bei Family Head smiled faintly: "When you set a trap to kill me before, it wasn’t like this. General Shan, there’s no need for more words. Today, I’m here to personally send you on your way!"

After speaking, the Bei Family Head did not hesitate at all. The aura of the celestial Demon Realm blossomed, and he charged into the crowd.

On the other side, Xiu Huang also led his subordinates, laughing heartily, marching towards General Shan.

"You have immense courage!"

General Shan let out a long howl, and then the Long Spear swept forth. However, with the Bei Family Head cooperating with Ping Xiao, they couldn’t break through the defense, let alone with Xiu Huang there!

With three experts of the celestial Demon Realm present, General Shan, despite his formidable skills, had no chance of escaping this time.

He thought only Xiu Huang was here, so he only brought five hundred troops.

Relying on his strength and deploying troops and formations, he thought it would be impossible for them to stop him.

But unexpectedly, Ping Xiao and the Bei Family Head hurried from the direction of Tianfeng City, so blatantly.

"I... I don’t accept this!"

General Shan knelt on the ground, having exhausted his strength in battle.

The combined assault of the three was unstoppable, eventually being knocked to the ground by Xiu Huang’s axe.

His head was held in Xiu Huang’s hand. This time, the Free Heaven Country achieved a great victory, with none of the five hundred men escaping.

"Just as Your Majesty predicted, General Shan, in order to prove himself, was bound to be reckless. Now none of his five hundred men survived, and he perished here. The strongest officer under the Lord of Tianfeng City has now died."

Ping Xiao smiled slightly. With General Shan’s death, there was much less threat, especially since the Water General was on their side!

Now, four of the Eight Great Generals have died, and one is in a state of defection. This means that only three of the current Eight Great Generals truly belong to the forces of the Lord of Tianfeng City.

"The plan has succeeded, but now the most challenging part begins."

Ping Xiao sighed: "We must find a way to conceal this quietly. Otherwise, if people from the State City come to investigate, we’ll be in trouble."

Xiu Huang asked: "What should we do now to allow the Water General to rightfully ascend to the position of Lord of Tianfeng City?"

Ping Xiao hesitated before saying: "I don’t know either. It seems we need to seek help from Your Majesty."

Ping Xiao realized that achieving this much was already his limit.

How to make the Lord of Tianfeng City rightfully die and the Water General rightfully ascend to the position is not something he can decide.

"Ah!"

The Lord of Tianfeng City was utterly grief-stricken upon learning the news, never expecting General Shan to die just like that!

He was his most trusted officer, now dead in a small town, an unbelievable reality for him.

His subordinate advised: "City Lord, please restrain your grief. Now, the five hundred men and General Shan are all dead, contrary to the intelligence we received..."

"How can I not grieve? General Shan was my confidant, and now he’s died out there, in such unclear circumstances. What went wrong with your intelligence?"

This subordinate was also sweating coldly and hurriedly explained: "Reporting to the City Lord, according to our investigations, the opponent only had one expert at the celestial Demon Realm."

"Even if General Shan took five hundred men, if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t have died there. Someone must have acted secretly!"

The Lord of Tianfeng City calmed slightly: "Could it be that Your Majesty from the Free Heaven Country?"

This was the first person the Lord of Tianfeng City thought of. Apart from that true ruler, no one else had the capability to silently infiltrate Yunwai Town.

But if so, it didn’t align with the plans and motivations of the Free Heaven Country’s ruler. If he wanted to kill General Shan this way, there would be no need to go to such trouble.

Then the answer seems to be something else.

"Could it be the Bei Family?"

This was the first answer the Lord of Tianfeng City thought of. If it wasn’t someone known to the Free Heaven Country, then it could only be someone from Tianfeng City.

This would be the only way they were caught off guard, and the appearance was so sudden.

"Hmph! It seems the Bei Family has lived long enough. We must find a way to deal with the Bei Family!"

The Lord of Tianfeng City clenched his fists. It was not the time for mourning but to think about how to remedy the situation.

The Bei Family unexpectedly helped the Free Heaven Country without reservation; I wonder what kind of promise they received.

On the other side, Ping Xiao had already returned to the Cloud Extinction Mountain, informing Wang Yang of this great victory.

All of this was within Wang Yang’s expectations, so it was not surprising.

Ping Xiao approached Wang Yang and asked: "Your Majesty, now that General Shan is dead, what is the next plan?"

Wang Yang countered: "According to your thoughts, how can we allow the Water General to rightfully assume the position of Lord of Tianfeng City?"

"Obviously, we need a reason that the Lord of Tianfeng City cannot refuse to engage personally. Only then can we have the chance to kill the Lord of Tianfeng City and replace him!"

"Hmm..."

Wang Yang paused: "Indeed, that’s a good plan, but unfortunately, we don’t have such a reason. So we can only use a more direct and straightforward way."

Ping Xiao was delighted in his heart; Wang Yang indeed had a plan: "I ask Your Majesty for guidance."
