"Brat, you..."
Hearing Luo Feng deliberately change the subject,
Du Busi was so furious his beard nearly twisted out of shape.
But before he could finish speaking,
the imperial princess beside him stood up.
She applauded while nodding to her teacher.
This was only a sparring match. There was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.
The Sun Moon Empire's army was bearing down on their borders. That was the most pressing problem before them.
Of course, Du Busi was no child who cared only about winning a momentary spat.
He understood Princess Vina's intentions.
So he could only grit his teeth and step aside.
"Luo Feng, you really do surprise us every time!"
"And I think you're even stronger than before!"
"I just discussed it with several members of the imperial family. Starting today, the Earth Dragon Sect is one of our Heaven Dou Empire's Upper Three Sects!"
Was that the final word, settled with a single strike of the gavel?
Hearing the princess's decision,
Nan Shuishui and Nan Qiuqiu immediately embraced in delight.
Little did the mother and daughter know that this played right into the imperial family's hands!
For next, Princess Vina did not continue talking to Luo Feng.
Instead, she turned and walked toward Nan Shuishui.
"I believe you must already know, Sect Master Nan!"
"The Sun Moon Empire has assembled a great army, with the Holy Spirit Cult as its vanguard, and is advancing into the Douluo Continent!"
"Our main purpose in gathering everyone here today was to select a commander for our vanguard..."
Sure enough, this princess was lying in wait for me here.
Hearing Princess Vina's next words,
Nan Shuishui's expression immediately chilled.
She looked toward Luo Feng, worry weighing heavily on her face.
The title of an Upper Three Sect was not so easily earned.
To maintain that position, they had to contribute.
They might even have to bleed!
The Body Sect had to protect the imperial family.
Du Busi could not recklessly rush to the front lines either.
Thus, the army on the border needed a capable commander.
Originally, Long Aotian should have been the choice.
But everyone present with a discerning eye knew that, with Luo Feng here, the princess's husband would not get the position.
"Your Highness, I..."
Nan Shuishui was about to decline, but Du Busi cut her off.
"Sect Master Nan, I think your sect's son-in-law, young Luo, would be perfectly suited to this position."
"Besides, doesn't he still have a score to settle with Zhongli Wu?"
That Du Busi
was a sly one too.
He looked like a big, lumbering fool, but in truth, he was more cunning than a monkey!
Seeing everyone's eyes settle on him,
Luo Feng sighed as well.
"No problem. I've never commanded an entire army before. Let me enjoy it for once!"
Things had already reached this point.
There was no way to refuse.
He could only steel himself and step up.
Besides, as a transmigrator, Luo Feng needed a stage like this.
"Hahaha! Good lad! That's the spirit!"
"I won't leave you in the lurch, either. I'll send my disciple Long Aotian and the Body Sect's elites to help you!"
Seeing Luo Feng nod in agreement,
Du Busi smiled in satisfaction.
In truth, the old man knew perfectly well
that once the great empires went to war,
casualties would be unavoidable.
If the Earth Dragon Sect could hold the front, the Body Sect could minimize its losses.
And with Luo Feng drawing their fire, Du Busi would have more room to maneuver.
"Thank you, Senior. Since we're all one family now, about your Body Sect's resources..."
What a Luo Feng!
He was not one to take a loss either.
Hearing the brat's demand,
Du Busi could no longer afford to fret over the cost. He simply waved his hand.
"Take whatever you need. As long as our Body Sect has it, your Dragon Gate won't go without!"
"Hahaha! Then thank you, Senior!"
News traveled fast.
Especially when Luo Feng's name appeared in the military reports.
Zhongli Wu noticed it immediately.
"Luo Feng, you little bastard!"
"You actually became the Heaven Dou Empire's vanguard commander without knowing your own limits. Then you'll be the first I put to the blade!"
The next moment, Zhongli Wu shared the news with headquarters.
Upon hearing it, Ye Xishui was also exceptionally excited.
"Brat, you escaped last time!"
"This time, with our armies facing each other, I'll take your life to fuel my cultivation!"
As for the coming war,
the Holy Spirit Cult would be its true beneficiary.
For the flames of war would undoubtedly give birth to countless vengeful spirits.
And the essence of those souls would form the foundation of the Holy Spirit Cult's rise.
As for Luo Feng, in Ye Xishui and Zhongli Wu's eyes, he would sooner or later become a morsel at their lips.
But would things really turn out that way?
Crack!
This was a scene the Sun Moon Empire's vanguard could never have anticipated.
Just as their army crossed the Heaven Dou Empire's border,
no one noticed a streak of emerald light flash across the sky.
It leaped three times in succession,
arriving directly in the center of their camp.
This was, of course, Luo Feng.
He was using the Teleportation Soul Skill he had obtained earlier.
Since he had already advanced to Soul Saint,
the maximum distance of each teleportation now exceeded fifty li.
And he could use it five times in succession.
Thus, he could easily appear behind the enemy army.
"Let me see. Where are your supply routes?"
As a transmigrator,
Luo Feng actually knew the outcome before the fighting even began.
If things followed the course of the original story,
and they continued choosing direct confrontation,
the Heaven Dou Empire would inevitably lose.
The Body Sect would also suffer a devastating blow.
In that case, the Earth Dragon Sect would not fare well either.
But as a wild card,
Luo Feng adopted harassment tactics.
Compared with Huo Yuhao, who possessed the Undead Demiplane, Luo Feng's ability to teleport at will gave him even greater mobility.
His objective was simple.
Rather than fight head-on, he would find their supplies and burn their provisions.
Then he would move elsewhere and do it again!
The Sun Moon Empire's strength was beyond question.
But its battle lines were stretched very long.
That would cause supply problems.
In the original story, because the Sun Moon Empire was the aggressor,
it appeared unstoppable.
Yet this created a fatal weakness.
Its rear was undefended.
Even Huo Yuhao could strike Mingdu with the help of the Undead Plane's power.
Luo Feng would have even more room to operate.
However, since he did not know the exact locations,
his teleportations were random as well.
By coincidence, this time Luo Feng had not teleported to the enemy's rear defenses.
Instead, he had plunged straight into the Sun Moon Empire's headquarters.
Xu Tianran treasured his life too much to lead the campaign in person.
So he had sent his empress, Ju Zi.
And Luo Feng happened to arrive right outside her tent.
"Who's there?"
"Ah!"
"Enemy attack!"
"He's so fast! Hurry and notify..."
Hearing a string of startled cries outside,
Ju Zi, who had been studying a military map, hurried out of the tent with two guards.
Then she ran straight into Luo Feng as he moved through the camp.
"You are...?"
Seeing the orange-haired beauty before him,
Luo Feng froze for a moment too.
But soon, wild delight spread across his face.
If I could deal with this woman, wouldn't the war end ahead of time?
Others might not know.
But as a transmigrator, Luo Feng knew this timeline all too well.
Ju Zi was nominally the empress.
But since Xu Tianran was incapable in that department,
she had actually been living like a widow all along.
Even the child she conceived later carried Huo Yuhao's genes.
So...
"Protect the empress!"
Seeing Luo Feng suddenly appear before them,
the soldiers around Ju Zi panicked.
Because he had shone so brilliantly at the Soul Master Tournament,
few people in the Sun Moon Empire did not recognize Luo Feng.
But their experts and Soul Engineer units were all at the front. Ju Zi had no powerful guards at her side.
So these few shrimp soldiers and crab generals were brought down in just a few moves.
"Miss Ju Zi, I think we can sit down and have a chat!"
Looking at Ju Zi, who was as helpless as a little white rabbit,
Luo Feng smiled!
