Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Capítulo 1518: Chapter 1519: Subduing the Enemy Without Fighting! (Second Update)

“Brother Feen, let’s return to the camp and discuss further!”

Moo Feng looked deeply at Ling Feng, then immediately ordered the news of Ling Feng’s return to be relayed back through the several checkpoints ahead, reassuring them to continue guarding the passes without easing their vigilance.

Afterward, he ordered the commanding generals of the Fortress’s elite units to gather and attend a strategic meeting at the command tent.

Having done all this, Moo Feng led Ling Feng and his group back to the command tent together.

It must be said that Moo Feng is now indeed much more competent, with his own ideas, increasingly displaying the demeanor of a king.

Shortly, everyone gathered in the command tent.

In front of the commander’s throne, there was a huge map displaying dozens of commanderies within the Sky White Empire, most of which had already pledged allegiance to the Yan Family, becoming Yaan Jinghong’s henchmen.

Only the Northwest Army Commander Han Li had not yet succumbed to Yaan Jinghong, due to his responsibility to guard the northwest passes against both the Tianyang Empire and the Northern Demon Clan, thus commanding a million-strong army.

However, Han Li’s stance was also quite wavering, as he neither raised an army in defiance nor submitted to Yaan Jinghong, opting instead to continue holding his position in the Northwest, playing the role of the Northwest King.

The saying ‘the mountains are high and the Emperor’s far’ fits well; besides, there’s the Tianmang Fortress in the south to deal with. Yaan Jinghong, wishing to avoid making too many enemies, did not immediately press Han Li for his allegiance, tacitly accepting Han Li’s current stance.

After all, having a puppet Emperor Moo Yan in his hands and belonging to the royal family himself, with the Yaan Family controlling the court, Yaan Jinghong had little to fear from someone like the Northwest Army Commander.

Briefly outlining the empire’s overall situation, Moo Feng frowned deeply and said in a low voice, “Currently, nearly all the Empire’s commanderies have submitted to the Yan Family’s rule. Even if my Southern Army is strong and formidable, confronting the garrison forces from each commandery directly is something I find hard to bear, as we’re all citizens of Sky White, fighting against each other. Besides, even if we sweep all obstacles on our way to the Imperial City, we might still suffer heavy casualties against the city’s elite forces.”

“From what I know, since the capture of the Cangqiong Sect Master, all of the Divine Guard Camp, once led by the Cangqiong Sect, has fallen entirely under the control of the Yan Family lineage, in addition to the Black Armored Cavalry Army owing allegiance to the Royal Family because of the Fourth Prince, who also now stands with them. Our army could struggle against such elite forces!”

“What concerns me the most is Yaan Jinghong’s power! While he may not be a master of commanding troops on the battlefield, relying on Grand Governor Yuan and the other Generals’ guidance gives him a slight tactical edge, yet single-handedly, he can hold back a thousand troops! The defeat of Sect Leader Yue already proves this!”

At this point, all the chief officers in the tent could only sigh deeply.

Indeed, without Yaan Jinghong, facing just a Fourth Prince might not leave them so helpless, but Yaan Jinghong’s power was genuinely disrupting the balance.

“I will handle Yaan Jinghong!”

At that moment, Ling Feng stood tall and looked around, seeing the dejected soldiers, he declared loudly, “If Yaan Jinghong no longer counts, how would our chances of victory change?”

“This…”

All the soldiers turned to Ling Feng, stunned at first, then someone chuckled bitterly, “General Ling, it’s not that we doubt your strength, but it’s said that Sect Leader Yue of the Cangqiong Sect, even after teaming up with several ancestors of the Mo Royal Family, peak Emperor-level powerhouses, was still defeated by Yaan Jinghong. Your chances…”

Ling Feng’s expression remained calm, thinking that those ancestors of the Mo Royal Family, claiming to be peak Emperors, might actually fall short compared to the initial-stage Emperors at the East Spirit Immortal Pond.

And surpassing a peak Emperor, there are three extreme levels. Yaan Jinghong’s power might only be that of an extreme Emperor, while he himself has battle strength comparable to the Heavenly Kill Ten Extremes!

“I said, I will handle Yaan Jinghong!”

Ling Feng’s eyes flashed with a cold brilliance, and a vast and magnificent Qi-Blood Power spread unabated.

Instantly, everyone in the command tent turned pale.

The force of that Qi-Blood Power was almost suffocating!

“My god, what kind of power is this?”

“It feels like an ancient giant beast is looming in front of us; it’s too strong!”

“Is this General Ling’s power? The East Spirit Immortal Pond is truly miraculous; only in half a year, General Ling has been entirely transformed!”

All the soldiers were utterly stunned.

At this moment, only Jiang Xiaofan, bearing the Xuanwu Treasure Blood, could resist this aura slightly; even Lee Bufan frowned slightly, for in the path of body refinement, there was still a certain gap between him and Jiang Xiaofan.

“This kid!”

Yuan Tiangang squinted his eyes, took a deep breath, confirming that Ling Feng’s cultivation realm was virtually meaningless as a reference; his true strength indeed surpassed that of a peak Emperor!

“Alright! Ling Feng, young man, put away your divine skills now; everyone should have recognized your power already!”

Yuan Tiangang shook his head with a faint smile, lightly saying, “With General Ling’s current strength, he could indeed hold off Yaan Jinghong.”

“If we don’t consider Yaan Jinghong, advancing from the southern borders all the way back to the Imperial City, it would not only take a long time but also the odds of victory…”

Moo Feng clenched his fist slowly, saying, “Less than fifty percent!”

Relying solely on the Southern Army’s strength against the nation’s forces is indeed somewhat challenging.

“Less than fifty percent, huh!”

Ling Feng shook his head, “I do not have much time to waste with that Yaan Jinghong, so my strategy is, to win without fighting!”

“Without fighting?”

All the soldiers raised an eyebrow, and Moo Feng stared at Ling Feng, solemnly asking, “Brother Feen, how to win without fighting?”

“Yaan Jinghong intimidated the commanderies through force, making their City Lords submit in fear, but if Yaan Jinghong fell, and King Jing raised the Sky White Royal Family’s banner high, those City Lords wouldn’t dare resist, allowing the Southern Army to sweep directly into the Imperial City!”

Ling Feng’s gaze was as sharp as a falcon’s, and his words resounded powerfully, causing everyone to gasp.

Ling Feng intended to invade alone, deeply penetrating to defeat Yaan Jinghong!

“No, that’s too risky!”

Moo Feng shook his head repeatedly, “Yaan Jinghong is difficult enough to deal with alone, not to mention the Imperial City’s tight defenses and the many Emperor-level supporters acting as Yaan Jinghong’s minions, even for you, Brother Feen…”

“That’s not a problem. I have my methods to infiltrate unnoticed.”

Ling Feng pressed his lips; ordinary Emperors posed no threat to him; he merely didn’t wish to cause unnecessary bloodshed.

“Moreover.”

Ling Feng glanced back at Lee Bufan and Jiang Xiaofan, saying plainly, “Bufan, Xiaofan, go over to the Northwest Sky Tower Fortress for me. Captain Goo holds considerable sway within the Northwest Army; first find Captain Goo, then have him take you to meet the Northwest Army Commander!”

“Are you asking us to find Grand Governor Han?” Jiang Xiaofan blinked. They had traveled to the Sky Tower Fortress with Ling Feng before, so they were quite familiar with the Northwest Army.

“Yes, tell Grand Governor Han, Ling Feng has returned! I hope he will raise the Mo Royal Family’s banner high and pledge allegiance to King Jing! With just a word from Grand Governor Han, millions of troops will stand at attention!”

“This…”

Inside the command tent, all the soldiers looked at each other; indeed, the Northwest Army and the Southern Army are the empire’s two largest fortresses; if the two were to unite, they’d indeed hold against the Empire’s entire military forces.

However, the vast distance between the two armies prevents any actual unification. Han Li’s hesitance, would he readily agree?
