”The tone in his letter implies this meaning.”

After Zhou Yang read the letter, he sighed lightly and looked at Qin Tian, saying, ”Boss, I agree with Left Military Strategist. We absolutely cannot believe Jin Lin’s letter.”

”Even if he outright said that sister-in-law is in his hands, we can’t believe it without solid evidence. Boss, think about it, if sister-in-law is indeed in his grasp, wouldn’t he be daring enough to bring a token of hers as proof? Hmph, he has nothing now, merely empty words, and wants you to go to Demon City. Undoubtedly, this is a huge trap.”

Jin Lin’s letter circulated among everyone, and they all felt it was certainly a conspiracy by the Jin family duo.

Yan Ruolan and Liu Fei’er exchanged a glance, looking extremely worried.

Liu Fei’er whispered to Yan Ruolan, ”The crucial problem now is that there’s no news of Yunxi. If she’s alive and has broken out, she should have come back to find us, but it’s been almost a month, and there’s no trace...”

Yan Ruolan nodded, looking at Qin Tian: ”So, I guess this is what Qin Tian is worried about... Even if Jin Lin’s letter casually mentions it, you see, Qin Tian is considering taking the risk.”

They both looked at Qin Tian, who was deep in thought. To others, this seemed like an obvious trap, but Qin Tian, usually sharp and responsive, still hesitated.

Liu Fei’er said helplessly, ”Brother Tian is always like this, he values relationships deeply. Even if there’s a one in a million chance, he would never give up. So, I’m worried that Jin Lin might exploit this trait of his.”

This concern of Liu Fei’er was shared by Zuo Yuanhao and others because Jin Lin understood Qin Tian and Mu Yunxi very well, making it easy to exploit this matter.

”I understand now, hehe, Jin Lin, such an obvious scam, trying to deceive me...”

After a while, Qin Tian finally spoke, faintly smiled, but then looked up at Zhou Yang, ”Old Zhou, what’s the lunar date today?”

”Uh... the twelfth of August.”

Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment before responding.

”Alright, August twelfth.”

Qin Tian got up and stretched lazily, saying, ”That’s it for today. Regardless of whether Jin Lin gets married on September fifteenth, let’s start training the soldiers quickly. I want to lead troops to attack the Demon Clan and find out the truth!”

”King Qin, what do you mean?”

Zuo Yuanhao, usually smart, was uncertain about Qin Tian’s plan.

”Hehe, Left Military Strategist, do you think I would fall for the trick and act impulsively?”

Qin Tian looked at Zuo Yuanhao and said, ”I’ve already decided to personally campaign against the Demon Clan. Humph, Jin Lin has invited me, so there’s no need to wait until September fifteenth. We’ll send troops to Demon City at the end of August!”

”Last time, he stabbed me twice, now, I want to stab back!”

”King Qin is wise!”

Zuo Yuanhao rejoiced and said, ”This plan is excellent. Whether Madam Mu is in Jin Lin’s hands or not, once we deploy, he will certainly take action. By then, we’ll be able to uncover the truth.”

Qin Tian set the date, August thirtieth, to advance against the Demon Clan.

While everyone was focused on drilling the troops, Qin Tian was also keeping busy.

He continued to gather information about Mu Yunxi, Immortal Jiu, and Chen Jingsi, while diligently cultivating in West Capital City.

The Divine Vein Technique finally reached the peak realm!

Power of Nine Dragons!

When the Nine Dragons emerge, they obscure the sky and travel ten thousand miles!

On August thirtieth, Qin Tian assembled a force of two hundred thousand to advance against the Demon Clan.

Meanwhile, the Barbarian Clan and Demon Clan also deployed fifty thousand each to assist. Three hundred thousand strong, once more advancing towards Demon God River!

”They came! Qin Tian has indeed come!”

Jin Yunzhong, having learned of Qin Tian’s troop movements, urgently sought out the Demon King to discuss, ”Originally, I estimated they would send at most two hundred thousand troops, now there are three hundred thousand. Demon King, how should we respond?”

The Demon King took a deep breath and said, ”Why panic? Qin Tian’s aggression is expected, he would come sooner or later, and we planned to deal with him sooner or later.”

”But our combined forces amount to just over three hundred thousand. If we divide troops to defend other cities, we’ll lack manpower, yet if we secure Demon Capital City, a single decisive battle carries great risk. Demon King, do you have a strategy?”

Jin Yunzhong, aware of Qin Tian’s prowess, was deeply worried.

Conversely, the Demon King was at ease, saying, ”Of course I have a plan.”

”I’ve already arranged with Emperor Xuan of the Tianyuan Dynasty, once Qin Tian dispatches his troops, their North State army will also deploy, directly attacking West State. Hehe, the more forces Qin Tian takes away, the greater Tianyuan Dynasty’s chance of victory.”

Jin Yunzhong worriedly said, ”But can Tianyuan Dynasty’s North State troops stand against Qin Tian?”

”Things are different now. Under Emperor Xuan’s reorganisation, the North State troops’ combat power has improved significantly. Whether they are a match for Qin Tian or not, they can at least help us stall Qin Tian, preventing him from reinforcing.”

As the Demon King spoke, he stood up, saying, ”City Lord Jin, I forgot to tell you, my cultivation has advanced by one level. Hehe, now without our two ancestors stepping in, I alone can take on Qin Tian. Qin Tian won’t withstand ten of my moves, and would surely die!”

”Oh?”

Jin Yunzhong’s eyes lit up.

The Demon King said, ”Besides me, now both our ancestors are willing to come out and help me guard the Demon Clan. Any one of them in action, and Qin Tian is no match. Hehe, before, he could rely on that Immortal Jiu... now, hasn’t that Immortal Jiu been dealt with by you? What card does Qin Tian have left?”

After this analysis by the Demon King, Jin Yunzhong finally felt relieved, saying, ”Good, then let’s strengthen our defense... Demon King, I think we should defend Demon Spirit City and Demon City. Other cities can be strategically abandoned, so we don’t divide troops and can concentrate on dealing with Qin Tian...”

”There’s no need to defend Demon Spirit City anymore, it’s too far from Demon City. Hmph, can’t protect it, let Qin Tian have it...”

With this statement, Jin Yunzhong was stunned, pursed his lips, and had nothing to say.

Demon Spirit City was his base; now his base is no longer secure?

”Alright, let’s focus our forces on defending Demon City, and in Demon City have a decisive battle with Qin Tian. As long as we defeat Qin Tian, everything returns.”

Jin Yunzhong let out a long sigh, feeling helpless.

After betraying Qin Tian, he had not attained a leadership role as he wished.

Instead, in Demon Capital City, the Demon King ruled alone, and he and Jin Lin found themselves under someone else’s roof, even less than when under Qin Tian’s command.

The path one chooses must be walked to the end. After leaving the Demon King’s palace, Jin Yunzhong immediately sent people to Demon Spirit City to move his family and transfer all his wealth.

Worried, he returned home, didn’t see Jin Lin, and asked the servant, ”Where is the young master?”

The servant replied, ”Young master left as soon as it got dark...”

”Went out again?”

Jin Yunzhong was stunned, frowned, Jin Lin had mysteriously gone out every night at dark like this for almost a month.

Even as his father, he didn’t know what Jin Lin was doing, shrouded in mystery.
