Storm Clouds Gather over the Tower
Upon seeing Ye Xuan open his eyes, the woman was immediately filled with disbelief.
She had used every trick in the book, but to her surprise, it had absolutely no effect on the man.
"Your Human Emperor of Yin Shang truly possesses extraordinary abilities; even my Heavenly Demon Sound could not shake you in the slightest."
Seeing that she couldn't have any effect on Ye Xuan, the woman simply admitted it.
Her voice was ethereal, with an exotic accent, and it was almost too beautiful to be true.
Ye Xuan couldn't help but lean back in his chair, adopting a relaxed, reclining posture reminiscent of Ge You.
"Tell me, where are you from? And how did you know I am the Human Emperor?"
The woman opposite Ye Xuan stood up, bowed respectfully, and then chuckled.
"This young lady is none other than King Yueji, one of the kings of the Eastern Yi Clan."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was slightly taken aback.
They were actually from the Eastern Yi Clan?
Was he one of the great kings of the Eastern Yi Clan? He must have underestimated this woman.
"Then tell me again, how did you know my identity?"
The King Yueji.
"Since we dared to send troops to invade, we were naturally well-prepared. We have many spies in the Eastern Lu region."
"We have learned that the Yin Shang emperor has personally led his army to Qingzhou."
"And since I have been gathering intelligence in Qingzhou for many years, I devised a plan."
"With a little bit of hypnosis, this jerk led you here."
"We were initially a little wary, thinking you would send guards with you, but we never expected you to come alone, which gave me the perfect opportunity."
"So I used my methods to try and control your mind completely, but I never expected that you would possess such incredible abilities, actually breaking through my Heavenly Demon Sound."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but reveal a hint of mockery.
This little wench actually dared to lay a hand on a dignified Human Dao Saint; it's utterly laughable.
However, the fact that this young woman could openly reveal such a plan makes her quite a remarkable woman.
"Fine, I'll stay right here. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
"Use whatever means you have. If you can kill me or bewitch me, you win."
Ye Xuan lay there lazily, looking at the woman in front of him with a slight smile.
King Yueji shook her head.
"I have no other means left. I originally intended to use the Heavenly Demon Sound to make you fall into the clutches of inner demons and turn you into a puppet for my use."
"But unexpectedly, it had absolutely no effect on you, which means you must possess some kind of magical ability."
Even if I wanted to kill you, it would probably be pointless; I'd only be humiliated.
Ye Xuan looked at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but marvel.
This woman was merely a widow from the remote borderlands.
Although they employed some tactics, their overall capabilities were limited, making it difficult to achieve significant results.
But the fact that she possesses such wisdom also shows that this woman is extraordinary.
"Your Human Emperor, I have finally witnessed a true hero today. Your Human Emperor's demeanor is indeed extraordinary."
"Should Your Human Emperor intervene to spare this young lady?"
"If you are not willing to let me stay, then I will take my leave. I look forward to seeing you again next time."
With that, he raised his zither and vanished without a trace.
Ye Xuan simply smiled and did not keep the woman.
After all, there was no use in keeping this woman around, and she had even shown him something new, so he didn't kill her.
"She's quite an interesting woman indeed."
Ye Xuan clicked his tongue in amazement.
It wasn't until much later that Jiang Wenhuan suddenly woke up.
What happened?
"How did you fall asleep while listening to a little tune?"
"It's nothing, maybe you're just too tired. Let's go, we've finished listening to the song, it wasn't very interesting!"
Although Jiang Wenhuan was still somewhat unwilling, since his brother-in-law Human Emperor, had already spoken, he could only follow suit.
The next few days were relatively peaceful.
His Human Emperor the Emperor led a large army and personally led the expedition, which seemed to have a deterrent effect.
The Eastern Yi tribes did not invade the border again during this period.
However, the Eastern Yi troops continued to gather in greater numbers.
The Marquis of the East hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, while Ye Xuan simply watched quietly from the sidelines without intervening.
Marquis of the East believed that they should hold the city and wait for an opportunity to act, but this would likely result in the loss of a large amount of land and various nearby entities, which would be too conservative.
Upon hearing Marquis of the East's plan, Ye Xuan couldn't help but shake his head. This guy's plan seemed relatively sound, but it lost the opportunity to take the initiative to pursue and lost all mobility. Meanwhile, the Eastern Yi tribe's cavalry could attack or defend at will. Implementing such a strategy was a completely unwise move.
This guy is probably terrified.
With a cold laugh, Ye Xuan directly stripped Marquis of the East of his right to control the army and took command himself.
Ye Xuan decided to directly lead 200,000 troops from Chaoge and 200,000 Eastern Lu, totaling 400,000, to conquer the Eastern Yi.
He confronted the North Sea Seventy-Two Feudal Lords head-on, so how could he fear the Eastern Yi Barbarians?
Just as they were about to devise a plan and mobilize their troops, a deafening roar, like an earthquake, suddenly erupted outside Qingzhou City.
Many warhorses were startled and neighed incessantly at this moment, and the Eastern Lu were instantly thrown into chaos.
However, the 200,000-strong army of Chaoge remained completely unfazed.
They were already somewhat used to this situation.
Upon hearing this earth-shattering scene, Marquis of the East, who was beside Ye Xuan, changed his expression drastically. Could it be that the cavalry of the Eastern Yi tribe had launched a sneak attack?
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and looked into the distance, where he saw dust rising in the sky and the earth trembling more and more violently.
After a long while, they finally saw clearly that it was a terrifying cavalry force of about ten thousand men.
The mounts were not ordinary horses, but incredibly ferocious mammoths. Each mammoth was four or five meters tall and seven or eight meters long. The sight of ten thousand mammoths charging forward was truly unforgettable.
Amidst billowing dust, this cavalry force of ten thousand men finally appeared before everyone in an extremely bizarre manner.
Each mammoth was carried by an extremely fierce and burly man, all of whom were clad in heavy armor.
Not only was he controlling the giant crossbow in front of him, but he was also holding a ten-meter-long spear.
In addition, they carried two greatswords on their backs, their imposing presence turning the soldiers of Eastern Lu into frightened birds, trembling with fear.
Even Marquis of the East Jiang Hengchu was terrified when he saw this fierce cavalry. This must be the most powerful War Elephant Cavalry of the Yin Shang.
It was indeed terrifying beyond imagination. If such cavalry were to launch a charge, even two hundred thousand enemy soldiers would not be enough to withstand their onslaught.
"Your subject, Huang Feihu, pays his respects to Your Majesty!"
