Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Two generals led the way, with Jun Wuxie following in his carriage.

There was little conversation along the way.

After passing through several secluded streets, the view gradually opened up.

The population here was very sparse, the environment was poor, and there was scattered garbage everywhere on the ground.

Before long, a large area of low buildings came into view.

"Generals, is your marshal inspecting defense works here?"

Jun Wuxie expressed his doubts.

A normal person would have doubts in this situation.

Naturally, he couldn't remain silent and let them see through him.

"Young Master Jun, I apologize. We just received a message from the communication jade talisman. After inspecting the defense works, the marshal came here."

One of the generals looked back at Jun Wuxie and sighed, "Young Master Jun is usually far away in the capital and rarely understands the affairs of our borderlands.

Recently, battles have been frequent, and we have sacrificed many soldiers, requiring a large number of recruits."

The other general pointed to the low buildings in front and said, "That is a slum, where people who have sought refuge in our Great Zhou from beyond the border over the years live.

The marshal probably wants to mobilize them to join the army and resist Xilin."

"Is that so?"

Jun Wuxie said casually, looking unconvinced.

"Young Master Jun, you are someone our marshal likes, how dare we deceive you?"

The two generals said with a smile.

Jun Wuxie stopped talking and quietly followed them, soon entering the slum.

This slum was not small, and judging from the houses here, it was enough to house tens of thousands of people.

When they entered, many people came out of the dilapidated houses, looking around curiously.

These people's faces were similar to those of the Great Zhou people, but upon closer inspection, there were differences, and their expressions were different from those of the Zhou people.

"Young Master, these people all have a bloody aura, but it is hidden very well and difficult to detect."

Lingfei transmitted her voice secretly, her bloodline was naturally pure, and she was very sensitive to this aura.

Jun Wuxie naturally noticed it.

He was a grandmaster of military strategy and was very sensitive to any aggressive aura.

Before even entering this slum, he knew that this place was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

These two generals were full of lies and deliberately led them here, how could this be a real slum?

"Generals, where is your marshal?"

When they arrived at the center of the slum, there was a huge open space.

The two generals suddenly stopped.

They turned to look at Jun Wuxie, who was questioning them, and the amiable smiles on their faces gradually turned into coldness.

"The marshal is right here, but unfortunately, the scene you imagined may be very different."

One of the generals smirked, a cruel smile on his face, "Your arrival is an unexpected surprise for us.

What, are you shocked?"

After he finished speaking, outside the open area, thousands of people suddenly poured out of those dilapidated houses!

These people were no different from ordinary refugees just now.

But at this moment, everyone was surging with a strong murderous aura, and their eyes were particularly cold.

In an instant, Jun Wuxie and the others were surrounded by these people.

At this moment, the space in front of the two generals suddenly changed.

They disappeared, as if teleporting, and appeared outside the open space.

In the center of this open space, a huge double-layered barrier appeared.

The barrier layer flowed with bright red energy light, flashing with strange black runes.

Jun Wuxie's pupils shrank suddenly!

He saw Ji Yinlan inside the second layer of the barrier.

She was sitting there cross-legged, with her eyes closed, and around her body lay hundreds of corpses of soldiers in black armor.

Inside the outer layer of the barrier were more than twenty black-armored generals, all with pale faces and covered in blood, sitting on the ground.

"You're right, I am indeed surprised!"

Jun Wuxie soared into the air, stood on the roof of the carriage, looked at Ji Yinlan in the barrier, and then stared coldly at the two generals, saying, "I'm very puzzled, why are you doing this?"

"Why? That's a good question."

One of the generals laughed loudly, "Of course, it's to live better!

As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances.

Ji Yinlan wants to push us into the fire pit, of course we have to resist!"

"The Xilin army is invincible, she naively thinks that she can resist the Xilin royal army outside the border by relying on the natural dangers of the border, that's wishful thinking!

The border cities will be breached sooner or later, and we will all die then!"

"Is this your reason for betraying the country and seeking glory?"

Jun Wuxie was really amused and said, "Do you think the current war is still like those wars between the various countries formed after the separation of the Xuanyuan Dynasty in the past?"

"Of course it's different, how can the armies of various countries be compared with the Xilin royal army?

If Great Zhou is occupied by the royal army, under the rule of the Xilin Dynasty, it will surely usher in an unprecedented golden age!"

"The golden age you speak of is like the golden age of the Xian Tu kingdom outside the border?"

"Xian Tu, that's their own fault!

If they could kneel to welcome the Xilin royal army, how could they be massacred?"

The two generals sneered, "The Xian Tu people resisted the Xilin royal army, wouldn't the royal army retaliate and let them attack?

The royal army is an army, not a compassionate Buddha, what's wrong with them doing this?"

Just then, a clapping sound came from a house.

A man wearing a black robe with golden curly long hair walked out, clapping his palms.

"Well said, our Xilin royal army has always been a benevolent and righteous army, as long as you sincerely submit, learn our Xilin characters, speak our Xilin language, wear our Xilin clothes, abide by our Xilin laws, and inherit our Xilin culture, why would our royal army massacre without reason?"

He walked to the front of the two generals, with his hands behind his back, a pair of eyes flashing with cold and gloomy light, staring at Jun Wuxie, and said, "I heard that you have a close relationship with Ji Yinlan?"

"Xilin people?"

Jun Wuxie narrowed his eyes, looking at the golden hair of this hook-nosed man in front of him, feeling a powerful and evil aura on him.

"I am Luo Mao, the son of Ross, the Xilin Marshal who is conquering Zhou."

Luo Mao said, pointing to Ji Yinlan inside the barrier, "I'll give you a chance, if you can persuade Ji Yinlan to surrender and willingly marry my Xilin King as a concubine, I will grant you wealth and honor!"

"Well, if the future Great Zhou emperor is willing to submit, learn our Xilin characters, speak our Xilin language, wear our Xilin clothes, abide by our Xilin laws, and inherit our Xilin culture, he can also survive."

Luo Mao looked down at Jun Wuxie from a high position, "How about it?

Submitting to my noble and great Xilin nation, you should be proud of it!"

Jun Wuxie smiled when he heard the words, looking at Luo Mao's body full of golden hair, and said, "Are you worthy of calling yourselves noble?

Have you evolved all the animal hair on your body?

A body full of beastly characteristics, bloody massacres in the territories of various countries, cruel and barbaric, who gave you the courage to call yourselves noble?

You're still daydreaming, wanting Yinlan to be a concubine for your beast king, is your head caught in the door?"

"Jun Wuxie, how dare you disrespect Young Master Luo Mao, are you looking for death?"

One of the generals scolded, "Do you think you can change the outcome by not persuading Ji Yinlan to surrender?

Have you seen this magic circle barrier?

Ji Yinlan can't get out of it, her true energy is constantly being consumed, and she will soon become extremely weak, and then we will tie her up and offer her to the great Xilin King!"

"Young Master Luo Mao, why waste your breath with him, just capture him, and then threaten Ji Yinlan, aren't you afraid that she won't submit!

Ji Yinlan cares very much about this person!"

Another general suggested this.

"This young master just wants Ji Yinlan to submit willingly.

Since this kid is unwilling to cooperate, then let's do it."

After Luo Mao finished speaking, he waved his hand, and a piece of blood-colored true energy surged.

The strange runes on the double-layered barrier flickered a few times.

In an instant, Ji Yinlan and the twenty or so black-armored generals sitting inside opened their eyes and looked outside.

"Wuxie!"

The moment Ji Yinlan opened her eyes, a hint of surprise appeared.

But then she was full of anxiety: "Leave quickly, leave here, don't worry about me!"

"Hahaha!"

Luo Mao laughed wildly, "It seems that it is true, you Ji Yinlan care about this person!

Submit, maybe we can spare his life, otherwise we will let you watch him being hacked to pieces and die in endless pain and torment!"
