Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1890: Chapter 1894: It’s Good to Obey and Behave

Finally.

Before the Jiuyao army completely occupied Zhang Xiong’s territory, the East Peninsula forces had already assembled and prepared to move.

This was, of course, the result negotiated at the table.

It’s the same in any world: position determines perspective. You might think the assembly wasn’t complete due to lack of material or personnel.

But once the negotiation table settles it, none of that remains an issue!

...

Zhenfei City.

This is the boundary line between the East and West Peninsulas, and also the forefront of this great battle.

In front of the city lies a giant river about fifty thousand meters wide, three times wider than the widest part of the Yangtze River.

Interestingly, its name is simply Giant River!

Of course, this river cannot serve as a barrier to the advancing steps of the Cultivator army; its existence acts more like a boundary line—the one for East and West Peninsulas, and also the boundary for this battlefield.

What truly causes the Jiuyao army to stagnate is the continuously increasing troops arriving at Zhenfei City.

Endless, covering the sky and the sun!

Every moment when gazing at the sky, one can see countless human figures flying into Zhenfei City from the East Peninsula, as well as numerous flying boats descending.

Some of these flying boats are transport vessels, but the majority are combat flying boats.

Obviously, it is apparent to everyone that the purpose of this army’s assembly is not merely to deal with these insignificant bandit forces but rather to use this as a pretext to fiercely push the boundary line of the East and West Peninsulas forward!

This time, the commander of the East Peninsula army is called Teng Kai!

He is a Cultivator in the late Divine Separation stage, just enough to suppress Jiuyao.

At this moment, he is gazing across the Giant River, where the Jiuyao army is situated.

However, compared to the densely packed flying boats and warriors on the side of Zhenfei City, the Jiuyao army across appears utterly chaotic and disorganized.

”General Teng Kai, is that the opponent we are about to face? They’re too weak!”

One of Teng Kai’s subordinates, also his strategist, named Li Fei, who is in the Out-of-Body stage, chuckled and said, ”With General Teng Kai taking action, the other side is likely to be scared witless!”

Teng Kai listened to Li Fei’s flattery; instead of showing pride, he revealed a trace of helplessness: ”Li Fei, when can you change your fawning habit? Every time you act all naive and reckless, and then make me correct you? Am I someone who likes vanity so much?”

”How could that be? I’m genuinely sincere! In front of General Teng Kai, I’m just an insignificant ant!” Li Fei said exaggeratedly.

”Alright, alright, I’m convinced by you!” Teng Kai sighed helplessly, shook his head, and did not dwell on this topic but instead asked, ”Li Fei, are they really just a rabble?”

”Of course not.” Li Fei’s face dropped the exaggerated expression; this was merely a mischievous play between the two.

This playful origin was because Teng Kai initially liked that feeling of vanity, so Li Fei spent a long time flattering before getting to the real talk.

However, as they spent more time together, Teng Kai eventually realized the truth and felt embarrassed!

Li Fei was smart; upon discovering this embarrassment, rather than ending the flattery immediately, he became increasingly proactive and exaggerated each time.

Eventually, this flattery became a playful interaction between the two, without affecting their relationship at all.

”Oh? Then will they have reinforcements?” Teng Kai raised his eyebrow.

”Not reinforcements, but the troops themselves!” Li Fei reasoned confidently.

”What do you mean?” Teng Kai frowned in confusion.

”General Teng Kai, do you really think a mere bandit could sweep up so many troops?” Li Fei sneered.

Of course, this sneer was not directed at Teng Kai but at those bandits from the East Peninsula.

”Are you saying Jiuyao has someone supporting them from behind?” Teng Kai understood and then exclaimed, ”Is it Elder Hu Fei?!”

”General, be cautious with your words.” Li Fei hurriedly stopped him.

Elder Hu Fei, besides Elder Zhang Pei and Elder Xiao Lei, is the third one in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

Elder Fei Kai is the newest among the three regarding the Crossing Tribulation stage, also having the smallest territory.

It’s rumored that Elder Hu Fei had always been cultivating in deep mountains and forests and only emerged upon reaching the Crossing Tribulation stage!

Thus, he caused a lot of trouble. With more in the Crossing Tribulation stage, a piece of territory has to be divided!

Therefore, Elder Fei Kai has always had poor relations with Elder Zhang Pei and Elder Xiao Lei!

The fights among the three parties had been ongoing secretly!

Even the forceful rise of Jiuyao as a warlord is something Hu Fei has tacitly agreed upon.

As the newest elder, his territory is indeed too small, requiring aggressive expansion.

”I see, initially Jiuyao might have merely been a bandit sweeping across, but eventually, it turned into something else!” Teng Kai sneered coldly.

The battles among high-level figures are indeed disgusting!

”So, you’ll see, at the crucial moment, the real characters on the other side will make an appearance!” Li Fei laughed.

Was Li Fei’s speculation accurate?

Both right and wrong.

The name Hu Fei may sound familiar!

Yes, he’s one of those who were exiled by Lu Xiaobu.

Xue Luo—Hu Fei!

This name may be somewhat forgettable to everyone.

The nickname Lu Xiaobu gave him is surely memorable—Legs!

Yes, after being exiled, this Legs Crossing Tribulation stage had exceptional luck, arriving in the shortest time at Sword Island, which is not far from Gourd Island.

Thus, he grandly became the third elder in Crossing Tribulation stage on this island—Elder Hu Fei!

Having experienced everything on Gourd Island, Hu Fei is clearly more cunning in certain aspects than the people on Sword Island.

He quickly crafted his identity flawlessly and blended into the island community!

Indeed, this lesson was learned from Lu Xiaobu.

After all, as the highest Cultivator on the Northwest Gourd Island, near Lu Xiaobu’s Southwest Huludao, his research on Lu Xiaobu surpassed that of other Crossing Tribulation individuals.

After being exiled by Lu Xiaobu’s incredible method, he started pondering over all of Lu Xiaobu’s tactics and even learned a couple of things.

Of course, these tactics are a dream to use against Lu Xiaobu, but against those on Sword Island, they are akin to facing their former selves, not too challenging!

This matter truly is a coincidence, or perhaps not a major coincidence, since Sword Island is closest to Gourd Island; it’s quite normal for an exiled Crossing Tribulation Cultivator to end up on this island!

And, of course, Hu Fei noticed the Jiuyao bandit army a few days ago!

Then, he accompanied Lu Xiaobu in playing games over there at the Transmission Array!

Indeed, back when Lord Lu was in the Divine Separation stage, they were completely turned inside out; now that Lord Lu is already in the Mahayana stage, obediently complying seems wise!
