Chapter 476: Chapter 15: The Mighty Return of the Fire Qilin, A Sudden Turmoil in Zhenbei City

When the name Li Guanyi was mentioned, Yue Qianfeng and Yan Xuanji both slightly changed their expressions.

The messenger held up the letter, supporting it with both hands. Yue Qianfeng did not rashly approach. He extended his hand, made a slight clasp, and his Inner Qi surged forth. The letter flew directly into his hands. After confirming there were no poisons on it, he then opened it.

His furrowed brow slightly relaxed.

It was in the handwriting of Li Guanyi, and the letter even carried the imprint of the half of the Tiger Talisman that remained in Li Guanyi’s possession. After Yue Qianfeng finished reading the letter, he handed it to Yan Xuanji, who scanned it with his tiger-like eyes, and his expression finally eased.

"The lord is indeed still alive."

Yue Qianfeng laughed, "Indeed."

"It’s just that I don’t know why he has become the so-called lord of Changfeng Building."

He produced his own Tiger Talisman from his hand, then imprinted it onto the letter, perfectly matching with the existing imprint of Li Guanyi. The seals fit together like Yin and Yang, then he handed the letter back to the messenger. The messenger sighed in relief, bowed respectfully, and quickly departed.

Although his realm was just at the Initial level of Third Layer Heaven, his Qinggong, however, had many points worth watching.

At this moment, Yue Qianfeng was clad in heavy armor, not mounted on a warhorse but on a head-shaking, mane-flaring green-eyed lion beast, also exceptionally tall and with a height of over ten meters, brimming with murderous intent. Yue Qianfeng hung the mystical weapon on the hooks of the beast’s armor, and said, "This matter needs to be discussed with you all."

He conveyed the strategy mentioned in Li Guanyi’s letter.

The location here was 500 miles away from Zhenbei City.

The speed of the equipped heavy cavalry would naturally be slower compared to the light cavalry, but this contingent was one of the strongest equipped cavalry in the world, the frontline corps of the world, with all members being Martial Artists of the Second Layer Heaven, capable of covering those 500 miles in a day.

However, inside Zhenbei City, there were more than three garrison commanders of the Sixth Layer Heaven.

One of them was the forty-first ranked Divine General, although not as strong as Yue Qianfeng.

But under his command were thirty thousand main battle frontline troops and terrifying Mo Family Mechanisms.

It was a tough nut to crack that even the world’s number one Divine General would avoid. General Yue managed to maintain his vitality, but he had been in a deep sleep for over ten days, only breathing and having the instinct to eat, which kept him undying.

In such a situation, neither Yue Qianfeng nor the other generals were willing to fight.

To engage in a deadlocked combat with those thirty thousand elite troops, even if a breakout was possible, the losses would be substantial.

These were the men willing to fight and perish through combat in various countries alongside them; Yue Qianfeng could not consent to this.

Li Guanyi’s strategy was to mobilize the internal forces of Zhenbei City when flattening the Yuwen aristocratic family, thereby creating ample time for the Yue Family Army. A stronghold like Zhenbei City would prioritize internal issues first.

The Yue Family Army, this offensive military force, could then directly breach the sphere of influence of Zhenbei City.

A cavalry general in his thirties said,

"It’s a good strategy, but is it really trustworthy..."

Yue Qianfeng said, "Pingyang, rest assured."

He paused, not mentioning that Li Guanyi was Taiping Duke’s son.

For these stubborn, battle-hardened elites, that would only have the opposite effect.

Yue Qianfeng continued, "He is indeed the greatest contributor who killed the traitor and saved General Yue."

The young cavalry general then looked solemn. His name was Ling Pingyang, thirty-three years old, at the realm of Five-layered Heaven, but particularly skilled in commanding cavalry charges. Although his realm was slightly lower, he was still among the people on the Divine General List, ranked ninety-seven, just barely making it on.

The top thirty on the Divine General List, or those like Yue Qianfeng, were generally above the Seven Heavens.

But the peculiarity of the Divine General List was that, even the last rank had the Sixth Layer Heaven.

The real difference lay in command, in Battle Formation, in strategies and tactics.

And like Ling Pingyang, Lu Youxian, although they were not adept at personal combat, in special battlefields, they could exert abilities beyond those of Grandmaster Level Divine Generals, and their ranking on the Divine General List might even surpass those generals with stronger personal martial prowess.

A notable general of the Military School, with or without an army, has two completely different levels of combat effectiveness.

Whether the troops under their command were the direct descendant core, a second-line corps, or a third-line corps stationed in a city.

The methods they could unleash were as different as heaven and earth.

Ling Pingyang was the strongest young cavalry leader in the Yue Family Army. By the time he reached his forties and approached fifty, for a general with profound strength, that would be the period of Great Success for personal Martial Arts, as well as strategy and experience, likely moving up to the top sixty on the Divine General List.

Chen Country and Ying Country, both were large nations with territories spanning tens of thousands of miles.

The Grassland Turkic, vast and sparsely populated, was even larger in area than Chen Country and Ying Country.

And then there was the sprawling, boundless Western Regions, although smaller in area, it was beleaguered by warlord conflicts outside the border.

In any such country, any individual with hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers would be prideful to be ranked in the top hundred on the Divine General List, easily able to crush the forces of ordinary commanders facing several times their own during confrontations.

Although Ling Pingyang had yet to meet this young man, his impression of him was already extremely high. Holding his cavalry spear, he laughed loudly, "Such a young hero, it’s a pity I can’t meet him!"

"If it’s him, we believe!"

"To sacrifice oneself to save others, to kill the traitor, to break through Guan Yi, I approve of such a hero."

The other young cavalry commanders also believed in this man’s strategy.

Yan Xuanji slightly lowered his gaze, his head already sprouting short black hairs, thinking as he listened to the praise of these young cavalry captains around him, that the lord, too, was gradually, step by step, making his own way.

Yue Qianfeng said, "Good, then, let us proceed cautiously."
