Chapter 764: Chapter 595 Divine General Attacks + Chapter 596 Peril of Cloud Water

Chapter 595: Assault of the Divine General + Chapter 596: The Predicament of Cloud Water Sect

"That’s right. The general may not know who is the commander leading the one hundred thousand strong northern army to suppress the rebellion. If you knew, you would surely be greatly surprised."

Wu Changsong’s face was serious, and he couldn’t help but straighten up, the drunkenness on his face dissipating slightly.

It seemed that just mentioning that person’s name was somewhat chilling.

"Could it be that it’s someone from the Yue Family?"

Gu Qingqiu’s eyes flashed as she suddenly asked.

"Exactly."

"How can that be? Don’t tell me that the Yue Family of the Northern Border is disregarding the threat of the Demonic Barbarians, or do they have the confidence to definitely withstand the Demonic Barbarian army and still have sufficient forces to dispatch troops to the south?"

A hint of hidden worry appeared on Gu Qingqiu’s face as she spoke in a deep voice, "I wonder if it’s Yue Jizong or Yue Jizu coming this time. Either of these brothers would be very troublesome to deal with."

"No, it’s not them."

Wu Changsong sighed, "The person coming is even more formidable than the Yue Sect’s Twin Tiger Generals, it’s Yue Chengtian."

"Whoosh..."

This time, not only did Gu Qingqiu gasp in shock.

Even Su Lianxue’s face changed dramatically.

"Is it one of the Three Divine Generals of the Yue Sect, the one with the evil spirit communication and who has cultivated Divine Skills, the third master of the Yue Family?"

"It is him."

"How can this be possible, it shouldn’t be like this."

Su Lianxue furrowed her brows; as far as she knew, both Yue and Yang, the two General Families of the Northwest, were steadfast in defending the border and warding off the foreign tribes. They were reputed to be extremely loyal, never disobeying orders from Great Yu’s Xiao Family.

However, in reality, each of them was in control of the Two Lands of Wind and Snow. Without the title of kingship, they possessed the actual power of kings.

In secret, those officials, nobles, and wealthy clans all had various ties with these two families.

Most of the land and resources in the two states were virtually controlled by these two families.

It was for this very reason that they were not restrained by the Imperial Court. For hundreds of years, they had withstood the barbarians in countless bloody battles, firmly keeping the Demonic Barbarians at bay outside the Wind Snow Heavenly Pass, a deed which could be said to be of extraordinary merit.

Logically, such forces that almost independently ruled a region would definitely be viewed with suspicion by the Royal Family of Great Yu, who would seek to eliminate them.

But the Two Lands of Wind and Snow had a characteristic that was hard to say whether it was a disadvantage or an advantage.

The land in these two states was barren and infertile.

At least, not nearly enough to support the soldiers and commoners of the region.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the Yue and Yang General Families were, as long as they did not lead their armies southward, threatening the various states and counties of Great Yu, the Royal Family wasn’t concerned about them causing trouble.

After all, every year a massive quantity of food had to be sent to the border states.

These two families could not do without the support of the fertile lands of the Jiangnan and Southwest. Without the support of food and forage, even if they harbored any ambitions, they would have to keep it all to themselves, not daring to show it.

Otherwise, there was no need to fight them; the Imperial Military Department could simply cut off their food supply, and the soldiers of these two states would not even survive, let alone fight a war.

Zhou Ping’an had been in this world for more than half a year and had some understanding of the two General Families at the border.

However, because his previous status was not too high, he could not access any useful information. He only knew that the Yue and Yang families were powerful, but exactly how powerful, he was not quite clear.

Now hearing the name "Divine Skills," his curiosity was greatly piqued.

Even though he had cultivated the Star Spirit Body and opened the first acupoint of the Body, he had not even touched the shadow of "Divine Skills." How did the other side claim to have cultivated Divine Skills? How were they cultivated?

In occasional chats with Tang Yu, the Great Elder of the Tang Family, Zhou Ping’an also came to understand that the "Four Divine Kunpeng Skills" he was cultivating were actually called Secret Techniques.

And that "Purifying World Red Lotus Scripture’s" Explosive Skills, as well as the "Carefree Journey" he learned inadvertently from the Cloud Water Sect’s ancestor, all could be categorized as Secret Techniques.

The more profound your understanding, the greater the power of these Secret Techniques.

If we talk about these Secret Techniques strictly, they do not truly help a Cultivator to overcome the strong while being weak.

At the very least, the basics still matter.

It isn’t reasonable for an Early True Martial Martial Artist to use highly cultivated Secret Techniques to contend with someone in the Divine Martial Realm. That would be very unreasonable.

In theory, the thicker the foundation and the higher the Realm, the stronger the use of various Secret Techniques both offensively and defensively.

In the end, it is still the Realm that reigns supreme.

But real "Divine Skills" are different.

"Divine Skills" are on par with Laws; under certain circumstances, they can disregard the difference in Realm.

"What is the Divine Skill of the Yue Family?"

"I am not quite clear about the specifics of which Divine Skill he has cultivated, however, I have gathered some information. Yue Chengtian practiced the Black Tortoise God Slaughter, the Divine Skill passed down through the Yue Family’s General lineage, which is none other than the Turtle and Snake Forms.

It is said that twenty years ago, he already achieved Evil Fortitude Fusion and the evil spirit was communicative...

However, Yue Chengtian leads troops with an extremely steady style, and he is known as the Unbreakable Divine General, so it’s presumed that he has cultivated the Turtle Form Divine Power."

"That means advantages in defense and strength."

Zhou Ping’an also felt a bit perplexed.

If the commanding general from the Yue Family handling the rebellion controls evil Qi Divine Skills truly comparable to the combat power of the Divine Martial Realm, the situation might very much be troublesome.

He estimated that with his current strength, he had no issue fighting against someone in the True Martial Late Stage Dharma Form Realm.

But against the Divine Martial Realm, he was somewhat out of his depth.

"Wait, wasn’t it said that before the third Spirit Tide arrives, the Spiritual Mechanism of this world isn’t sufficient to accommodate a Divine Martial Realm strong person, preventing them from exerting formidable power?"

Yu Changsheng somehow arrived nearby, joining in the conversation.
