Chapter 765: Chapter 595 Divine General Attacks + Chapter 596 Peril of Cloud Water_2

She had always been cultivating in the mountains, never leaving them; her trip to Qingyang City was her first ordeal.

Thus, she was not very clear about the secular dynasties and the heritage of generals.

At this moment, she was somewhat puzzled.

If a strong person of the Divine Martial Realm could easily leap out from the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, and even take action anytime, then what would be the point of their struggle, they would have been annihilated long ago.

"Junior Sister Yu, you really... sigh, do you think why this world belongs to the Great Yu Dynasty? The reason why it has become like this, with the Imperial Family Xiao revered, the Imperial Court’s military force suppressing the regions, and the sects and world families sharing the prosperity, is rooted in the inheritance of military generals."

Pausing, Wu Changsong added, "Initially, it wasn’t that the sects and world families didn’t want to snatch the dynasty from the Xiao family, but under the backlash of the great generals from the military, they all suffered heavy losses and could only manage their own sects and obediently comply with the court’s control."

The reason wasn’t because the Xiao family was highly respected and revered, making other forces dare not rebel, but because those Divine Generals were too powerful, simply unbeatable."

Makes sense.

Zhou Ping’an’s mind stirred.

He had always felt that the world’s structure was somewhat strange.

Each sect and family had powerful old ancestors at the Heavenly Cave Blessed Land, and perhaps, in realms beyond, even more formidable sect elders.

Yet, in this world, they were suppressed by a secular dynasty, only able to claim honor as ancestors on the mountains, without truly controlling various provinces and turning the dynasty’s people into their own followers.

The root lies here.

Whether it be Yunzhou or Jiangzhou, the influence of Cloud Water Sect and Brahma Heaven Sect always needed to use the name of the Imperial Court to support their proxies in competing for territory and benefits; this could be understood now.

They really had no confidence, nor the inclination, to face the Imperial Court’s Divine General army head-on.

Whoever dares to act out first, dies first.

The Imperial Court has this capability.

"But the question is, why isn’t the Red Lotus Sect afraid of the Imperial Court’s Divine Generals? Once they revolt, all forty-seven counties rebel, what gives them such audacity?"

"Red Lotus Sect is different. Besides the fact that the Palace Masters of the four palaces are very powerful, the most formidable among them is the Red Lotus Divine Envoy..."

Speaking of the Red Lotus Divine Envoy.

Wu Changsong’s face revealed a bitter smile.

"A Divine Envoy, seemingly not very strong in cultivation, but in some ways, they are actually incarnations of the Red Lotus Matriarch, roaming the world to experience mortal life on behalf of the matriarch. Who knows what capabilities they might possess?

The weaker ones may not even reach the True Qi Realm, but the stronger ones might not even be subdued by the Imperial Court’s Divine Generals."

"Is a Red Lotus Divine Envoy really so extraordinary? Could they also possess Divine Skills?"

Zhou Ping’an thought of his first encounter in this world with the Red Lotus Sect’s leading general, Lie Yan.

That fellow was a Divine Envoy.

However, from his current perspective, that fellow seemed unimpressively weak.

He was chopped down by Third Miss who had just barely stepped into the threshold of the Five Viscera Realm, thus humiliating the Red Lotus Sect.

Indeed, although that Lie Yan Divine Envoy had a low realm and weak combat power, yet, he could fluently wield the Red Lotus Karmic Fire Flame Power, and under the rebound, Lin Huaiyu was severely injured and seemed to have remained unwell for a long time.

This was the most severe injury Lin Huaiyu ever received.

From this perspective, that Lie Yan Divine Envoy wasn’t weak, just hadn’t grown up yet, and was killed by Lin Huaiyu in his early stage."

Wu Changsheng shook his head: "Red Lotus Divine Envoys don’t have Divine Skills, but they can employ the powers of the laws of the Red Lotus Matriarch, which are extremely tricky and difficult to deal with. Xiao Yuanfang, who commands troops in Yunzhou, has always been unable to eliminate the soldiers under the Red Leaf Palace because a Divine Envoy is present.

According to people from the Pei Family, although Xiao Yuanfang is confident in killing that Divine Envoy, he might greatly reduce his lifespan in the process, possibly not living much longer, so why bother?"

This explains the source of the Red Lotus Sect’s confidence.

"So, it is said that Divine Generals leading troops are formidable in direct combat, difficult to rival, but they also have weaknesses?"

Zhou Ping’an now understood that Xiao Yuanfang, one of the generals from the Eight Pillar Kingdom and a member of the royal family, was also a Divine General Rank powerhouse.

He’s reluctant to take action, simply cherishing his life.

Fearing that pushing the Red Lotus Sect too hard might lead to unpredictable consequences.

"Exactly, all Divine Generals only cultivate their bodies, not their spirits, their bodies are eroded by Evil Qi, and the pressure on their bodies is immense. Especially when they overuse Divine Skills, each usage greatly reduces their lifespan."

Elder Wu Changsheng thought of some historical anecdotes and couldn’t help but laugh: "In fact, some Divine Generals who have mastered Divine Skills don’t live past forty years and die young, it’s a gain and a loss. Since they’ve gained tremendous combat power, heaven is a bit harsher on their lifespan, which is fair."

Therefore, although the Yue family in the Northern Border and the Yang family in the Western Realm occupy vast lands, their direct line generals are not flourishing. They like to fight but also fear it; that’s the reason."

Dying in their forties?

Zhou Ping’an thought of some information he had heard, and understood it in his heart.

The generals of this world, cultivating the Military’s Evil Qi, truly do not nourish life.

It turns out that not only ordinary generals do this, but also top generals who have cultivated to high realms and developed Divine Skills would have shortened lives...

"If there is a Red Lotus Divine Envoy stationed in the great army of Red Leaf Palace in Yunzhou, is there also one here in Jiangzhou?"

Zhou Ping’an thought of the Red Lotus Sect, a professional rebel group.

Felt that the other party would likely not have such a severe flaw.

These days, in Jiangzhou, the troops of Lotus Heart Palace seemed to lower their flags and drums, lacking in fighting spirit, not attacking cities and looting lands; they just occupied a few county cities, seemingly waiting for a decisive battle between themselves and Brahma Temple’s troops.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but become more vigilant.

"The influence of the Red Lotus Sect here in Jiangzhou has actually been crippled by half by the general. The remaining troops naturally dare not move lightly. However, they really do have a contingency plan, but they have been in a stalemate with Brahma Temple’s experts in Jiangzhou County City Fuyuan, having had a few skirmishes without gaining any advantage."

At this moment, Wu Changsong laid everything out on the table.

He didn’t hide any of the information he had received and revealed it all.

"Our Cloud Water Sect actually has no intentions of rebelling, and Sect Leader Master Yun Tai speculates in secret that the ancestors at Heavenly Cave Desolate Eastern City might actually favor the Great Yu Dynasty. Of course, no matter who they favor, it doesn’t matter to us elders and disciples of the Outer Peak; actually, we are not even considered important by that ancestor..."

Saying this, Wu Changsong glanced at Zhou Ping’an with a somewhat peculiar look.

"Elder Wu, please speak frankly, no need to worry about anything else."

"There isn’t really anything else, it’s just that within the sect’s Heavenly Cave, the General needs to be cautious of that Desolate Eastern Ancestor, I heard that Uncle Master Zhang Taiyan from the Zhang family is a disciple of that Desolate Eastern Ancestor."

"I see."

Zhou Ping’an immediately understood the words Wu Changsong meant but had not fully expressed.

He had already guessed that Zhang Taiyan was actually killed by him.

And he was also being reminded to be cautious of possible revenge from that Divine Martial Ancestor within the sect’s Heavenly Cave.

Looking at it this way.

That Desolate Eastern Ancestor is probably not an easy person to deal with.

Indeed, stationed in the Heavenly Cave adjacent to the outside world’s Desolate Eastern City, taking all resources to cultivate his own disciples, completely indifferent to the life and death of Outer Peak’s elders and disciples. How good can such a person be?

The most bizarre part is still.

Such a large foundation of the Cloud Water Sect, don’t all previous ancestors care about it?

Where are they?

"Alas, ever since Ancestor Bai Yun went far away to seek opportunities beyond the heavens, past ancestors have rarely managed the affairs within the sect, either being in secluded cultivation or going out to treasure hunt, mainly staying out of worldly affairs. Otherwise, why would our Cloud Water Sect have ended up in its current state?"

Wu Changsong said with a bitter smile.

The others also felt empathetic.
