If they ran into a few stubborn soldiers who refused to listen to reason, things would be even more troublesome...
Tang Changsheng turned the matter over in his mind, then asked, "I'm planning to return to Paulownia Lake. Do you have any way to get me there?"
The three exchanged glances, then smiled apologetically. "You're going to Suxu City for the Trial Dharma Assembly, aren't you, fellow Daoist? How enviable. The likes of us don't qualify."
"If you want to go, you could ask the general for an order of passage..."
Tang Changsheng nodded slightly. That did seem to be the only way. Seeing him agree, the three were overjoyed and led him toward the army, fawning over him all the way...
The three had tokens that allowed them to bring Tang Changsheng along. Otherwise, it would not have been so simple.
Sure enough, before they had even approached the army, they encountered five or six groups of roaming cavalry and scouts. By the time they reached the main force, they saw a formidable army of every kind of soldier marching past, seething with Killing Intent.
Now that Tang Changsheng had entered the Manifestation Realm, he could sense all the more keenly the mighty, iron-blooded Killing Intent gathered by those thousands upon thousands of troops.
Fortunately, the three had tokens. After persuading a small cavalry patrol to help, they waited under its escort for nearly half an hour before the central army finally appeared, its soldiers clad entirely in iron armor.
There must be at least thirty thousand troops. Such strength... It seems Marquis Yue has grown considerably more powerful. I wonder whether he's taken Shou Hou State yet.
*But if I were Marquis Yue, I would never take Shou Hou State. I wouldn't even swallow all of Wu Hou
