Phoenix Returns

Looking at the mighty army outside the city, it caused the arrogance of the tens of thousands of soldiers in the city to drop.

Some of the generals were secretly berating her. This disaster was caused by her, Chu Shiyu. If she didn't deliberately provoke the stronghold, how could she have attracted so many troops?

After hearing this, Chu Shiyu immediately scolded in anger, "You are soldiers, so no matter how many enemies you face, shouldn't you think of doing your best to protect your home and your country? If you have the time to complain here, you might as well focus on resisting the enemy together. "

"Some people became angry and scolded when they heard this!" You speak so lightly, you are from the Heavenly Jewel Master Empire, and the one in trouble now is our southern neighbour, if we were to fight or if we would be the first to suffer, yet you want us to die for the Heavenly Master with just a single word of resistance? From today onwards, we will no longer listen to you. We will request orders from His Majesty, request for reinforcements, or let the large warehouse march past. At the end of the day, what does this have to do with our southern neighbours? The one who has a grudge is just Big Cang and your Master. "

"Obstinate ~ Even your majesty knows, once the army enters the southern borders, not only is the Heavenly Master in danger, if he takes over the southern borders, then you guys will also lose your homes and become slaves. Do you really think that Big Cang's ambition is solely with the Heavenly Master? I don't need you to risk your lives for me. I just hope that you don't lose your temper and disrupt the morale of the troops. A dignified seven foot man, if you don't have the ability to protect your family and country, then leave early. Don't embarrass your southern neighbors. "

"You …"

The words of Master Chu had forcefully silenced everyone, making them speechless and unable to refute him.

When Yu Wuyou saw her arguing with the crowd, he wanted to go up, but the Emperor's orders pressured them. He didn't expect that with just a few words from her, she was able to intimidate the chaotic morale of the troops.

However, what made his head hurt was how should the army defend against it? After all, there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Could the Western Territory withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the city?

Chu Shiyu angrily continued, "Do you think I'm willing to send you to your deaths? If you all died, would I still be able to live? Could a Heavenly Master still survive? Right now, resisting the enemy was not a matter of who was right and who was wrong, but the life and death of the Heavenly Master and the Southern Neighbor, could it be that when death was approaching, they should not work together to prevent the invaders from invading? Ever since the first time you blocked the two hundred thousand strong army outside the barrier, the fate of your southern and southern neighbors had already been tied down with the Heavenly Master. Do you really think you can avoid this battle? "

After the generals calmed down their minds, they slowly turned towards the city walls. Looking at the shocking scene that had taken shape, they continued to speak, "But let me assure you, as long as all of you work together and don't meet an unbeatable victory, I will be the first to rush to the front, and give everyone a chance to survive. The choice you make now, whether to leave or to stay, is up to you! "

No one dared to step out, but no one was willing to back down either. They did not want to die, but even more so, they did not want to lose face in front of a woman.

There was a long silence, but no one replied. Only Yu Wuyou stood beside her and sneered: "Don't tell me that men are inferior to one woman? If you can protect our country, what reason do we have to retreat? I fight alongside you. "

When the generals behind him heard this, they began to call for help! We are willing to fight together and protect our homeland. "

"We are willing to fight together …"

After receiving everyone's sincere support, Chu Shiyu and Yu Wuyou finally revealed a smile. This battle was inevitable, and he had to win.

She wasn't 100% sure, but she could still fight for her life in order to not get into the Western Territory.

The others all retreated, ready to fight, but Yu Wuyou was still standing beside her.

Actually, he knew that even Master Chu did not have the confidence to retreat these several hundred thousand strong army. It was just that in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he spoke to suppress the uneasy soldiers and generals.

"As long as you work hard, that's good. Don't try to be brave. The south won't let you get into trouble, so the soldiers will do their best."

Chu Shiyu sneered. The Western Territory was an important barrier in the southern region, and the Battle of the Netherworld had only left them with thirty thousand soldiers. He wanted to use this to make it difficult for her and force her to retreat.

At that time, not only would he not be able to get back the dragon's scale, but Zhan You would also be able to turn the tables on him and help Big Cang become a Heaven Decimating Master. When that time came, why wouldn't he be happy to help Big Cang take the Heavenly Master's share?

From the way Yu Wuyou followed him, it could be seen that no matter what kind of danger the Western Territory faced, Battle of the Netherworld would not send a single soldier.

He had merely used the lives of thirty thousand people to exchange for a piece of dragon's scale.

Master Chu sighed, "The generals' full strength is just a bargaining chip played by the emperor's family. In the end, their lives are still in their own hands. Zhan You has such a hateful heart. For the sake of obtaining this dragon scale, he even offered it up to his subjects. This is truly a good method! "

"The human heart is like this, who can truly live for others? Let's see how this fight goes. We can't just keep on wasting time. This time, we've made all the preparations. "

She did not reply to Yu Wuyou, but gazed into the distance with her poppy-like eyes.

Of course, thirty thousand soldiers were not enough to defend against it. Didn't they still have these two mountains outside the city? Being able to block the hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside the pass could also cause them to die here.

Even after several consecutive attacks, the city guards had already suffered numerous casualties. The city guard was still unable to take down this sturdy city gate, but after a few attacks from the siege equipment, the city wall had already begun to break. If they continued without any defense, it would really be breached.

Chu Shiyu sat alone on the first floor with a zither rack by his side, its tail glowing with a translucent light.

In these three days, she didn't do nothing, but went to find someone to make a guqin. Although it couldn't compare to her Nightmare Zither, it was still usable.

She let Yu Wuyou lead the crowd to guard the city gates at all costs, riding out of the city on a fiery lion by himself.

Standing on the peak of the mountain outside the city, she could clearly see the enemy camp. Previously, she had used the Li Fire to attack the camp, so this time the enemy would definitely be on guard, so she could not use the fire camp again.

The Nightmare Mantra had disappeared a long time ago, but it hadn't really been used on the battlefield yet. She wanted to give it a try and see if it was like the old man had said, able to fight against thousands upon thousands of enemies.

Master Chu chose a jungle near the camp and sat down cross-legged, and began to play the zither.

The sound travelled into the enemy camp and began to be mocked by the soldiers!

"At this time, you're still playing the zither? Could it be that he knew that the city gates were about to be broken and wanted to mourn for the soldiers in the city? "

"Hahaha! Maybe he's scared silly, but he definitely will!"

This time, he was able to lead the troops because of the provocation from Master Chu, and his strategy was to win in the big warehouse. However, in terms of leading the troops, he had no advantage.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to attack this city gate in the past few days. The tools and army were the best in the Nine Nether Realm, it was a pity that there wasn't a god-like military general. This gave Master Chu a very good opportunity.

The sound of the zither could be heard, but no one could be seen. How could an old fox not have a sense of wariness?

Zuo Pei then shouted in anger, "Quickly go find out who it is that is playing the zither in this area. No matter who it is, bring them to me."

It was only then that the soldiers came to their senses, perhaps to disturb the morale of the troops.

A high-ranking officer led a group of soldiers into the forest in search of the source of the zither sound. The zither sound was clearly coming from this forest, but after searching for a long time, they were unable to find anyone.

The sound of the zither also never stopped. Smoke lingered in the forest, and it was impossible to find it anywhere. The sound of the zither lingered for a long time, surrounding the mountain.

At noon, the soldiers who had entered the forest were nowhere to be seen. Zuperu ordered his men to search the forest, and in less than two hours, the troop that had entered the mountain had returned.

Only then did Zuo Pei realize that something was amiss. The sound of the zither was extremely strange, filled with killing intent. It was not just any ordinary music, but a zither music that carried life and death with it.
