Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 991 - 412: Do You Really Like Doing It Outdoors That Much? (Part 2)

Chapter 991: Chapter 412: Do You Really Like Doing It Outdoors That Much? (Part 2)

"I hold my head high before the heavens, and bow without shame to the earth, who are you to judge?"

The flying dust swept like ocean waves in all directions, engulfing the surrounding kneeling populace. The voice of Dongfang Xinglan still echoed in their ears, yet they couldn’t quite react for the moment.

King Qin... actually destroyed the Divine Temple with his own hands?

She actually...

"Those who help themselves, heaven will help them!" Dongfang Xinglan sheathed her sword, turned, and strode toward the north city gate: "All soldiers heed my command, follow me against the flood, defend against enemies!"

Led by Hong Ying, Qin King’s personal guard immediately followed suit, their steps unwavering.

On the city walls, Lu Jin’an looked at the silent city, slowly pulled out the Xiu Chun Dao from his waist.

Dongfang Xinglan’s reforms had begun early, causing dissatisfaction among most aristocratic families, but others could be said to be beneficiaries.

Her reforms also laid some groundwork for today’s collapse of the Divine Temple, yet as she said, the Dynasty’s thousands-year-old beliefs were deeply rooted, even though many benefited from her, they regarded this favor as a divine blessing.

These individuals were not few, but Lu Jin’an considered them not many.

Ultimately, those who are unafraid of death are few.

However... this drama was not over.

The Fox-eared Girl suddenly dashed towards Dongfang Xinglan: "Lord Qin, the divine decree denies everything about you, but Little Monster does not want to disregard it at all, I witnessed your journey firsthand...

What you have done has no divine guidance, yet surpasses the lofty divine, your power, your belief... Little Monster feels it could replace them!"

This is the true core of the drama: pointing others to another way.

The three legendary Martial Gods, King Qin is also a Martial God, and he even summons the dragon’s roar and tiger’s cry.

Given they are all Martial Gods, why can’t King Qin enter the Divine Temple and be worshipped by the people?

Moreover, rumors of the divine abandoning the South grow increasingly intense, and under this premise, Lu Jin’an on the city wall could see the beneficiaries of King Qin’s reform displaying expressions of desire.

Until Dongfang Xinglan on the north city wall wielded the National Guardian Sword and split the pouring flood with one sword.

The overwhelming waves transformed into a rain curtain, Dongfang Xinglan stood atop the city, solemnly wielding her sword, with flair.

Witnessing this, many seemed to see a pilgrim, kneeling between heaven and earth, revering both life and death, elevating her to divine status.

Under the night, led by Lu Jin’an, the Jinyi Guard appeared like ghosts from the Underworld, harvesting lives one by one.

On the night of long swords, the Southern Dynasty needed no obstinate remnants of the old era.

······

The court’s navy descended southward, several ships beached under the might of Dongfang Xinglan’s sword amid the flood.

On the main ship, the Minister of War Bai Yuhu, witnessing this scene, turned pale, incredulous.

Split a pouring flood with one sword?

Can a Martial God accomplish such a feat?

Bai Yuhu did not know, for it was his first time seeing a Martial God in action, whereas before he only heard of the Martial God’s might through books or others’ words.

But hearing is, after all, less shocking than seeing firsthand.

Bai Yuhu didn’t understand what kind of power this was, but he heard his subordinates discussing the National Guardian Sword, discussing the possibility of defeat.

Despite the high morale before battle, the miracle witnessed by these people became a sword that shattered morale. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He wanted to stop such discussions, but standing firm against the flood, Xinghuo City left him at a loss for words.

Even though King Qin split the flood and didn’t stop it, but... why didn’t the flood submerge Xinghuo City?

Bai Yuhu didn’t know, but seeing the Qin Army seemingly prepared to counter the flood, he understood that his decapitation plan had failed.

The retreat horn spread across the navy, yet how could warships heading south with the flood easily sail upstream?

But fortunately, the Qin naval forces were in a worse position, and infantry and cavalry couldn’t catch up.

Watching Xinghuo City slowly fade from view, Bai Yuhu tightly gripped the railing, saying nothing, with confusion flashing in his eyes.

Didn’t the divine abandon King Qin?

Why does King Qin fight more valiantly?

The Qin Army too... why is it unaffected?

The raindrops under the night made Bai Yuhu, drenched in rain all night, let out a long sigh.

······

Dongfang Xinglan was very busy, even though the momentum plan succeeded, dealing with the breached Longjiang wasn’t easy, let alone making everyone understand who saved them!

And while handling this matter, she didn’t forget another important task: having Lu Jin’an cross the river and lead the advance.

Only quickly occupying the Longjiang North Shore and repairing the breached dam could fundamentally alleviate the damage from the flood.

Lu Jin’an also didn’t forget the agreement with Dongfang Xinglan, so while the Jinyi Guard spread news in Xinghuo City and dealt with the ’Old Era Remnants’ across various places, he had already brought Zhiyu to Ju Hai Province where Western Dynasty and West Capital City are located.

Zhiyu was his Vanguard General, with Yinming Soldiers as his troops, launching from Ju Hai Province at an incredibly swift pace, rushing southeast to strike Bai Yuhu’s constructed Longjiang Defense Line.

Like divine soldiers descending from heaven.

Even though Bai Yuhu had set up heavy defenses early in the West to guard against the unaffected Qin Army, he could never have imagined Lu Jin’an would perform what truly amounted to ’borrowing the way for ghost soldiers.’

And following borrowing the way for ghost soldiers, came the pressure of the Western Qin Army and the advance of the large army from the non-breached dam area at Longjiang.

······

Longjiang North Shore, Heshan Dam.

Dongfang Xinglan smiled, gazing at the endless northern fields, softly saying to Lu Jin’an beside her: "If there really are barbarians outside the border, seeing such a field, they wouldn’t be able to resist the urge to plunder."

"Indeed." Lu Jin’an nodded: "The allure of vying for the Central Plains has always been great."

"For Saint Lu as well?" Dongfang Xinglan tilted her head to look at him.

"What else?" Lu Jin’an felt the cool breeze blowing: "Why do you think I want to be the Saint? Also... I genuinely want to be the Sect Master."

He paused, then turned his words: "Lord Qin, now I’ve indeed claimed the first merit of the advance, shouldn’t Your Highness acknowledge it?"

"You could say I can, but..." Dongfang Xinglan squinted her eyes: "First tell me how you captured the Northern Army heartland so easily?

In the intel I received, you led the army to capture it, but at that time, Qin forces in various places hadn’t acted, so how did you achieve this?"

"Borrowing the way for ghost soldiers." Lu Jin’an replied succinctly: "Just one of my methods."

Dongfang Xinglan pondered looking at him, so it relied on some kind of Immortal Law using Vigorous Force?

She didn’t further inquire and only teased: "You’re not hiding it now?"

"The plan’s reached this point, hiding doesn’t matter, it’s all thanks to Your Highness’s competent leadership anyway."

Speaking, Lu Jin’an bowed to her: "Without Your Highness leading, how could I achieve today’s accomplishments?"

Dongfang Xinglan rolled her eyes at him: "Though I know you’re flattering me, it pleases me, so I might just reward what you want."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin’an smiled: "Then let’s return to camp..."

Before he could finish, seeing Dongfang Xinglan undo her belt made his voice pause: "Here?"

"The weather is hot, it’s cooler outside, isn’t it?" Dongfang Xinglan said blandly: "Besides, there are no outsiders here, right?"

"..."

Lu Jin’an stayed silent for a moment: "Do you just enjoy field battles?"

"Field battles?" Dongfang Xinglan blinked: "That term is fitting, but as you said, I... am indeed adept at field battles."

Lu Jin’an’s mouth twitched, this woman indeed has peculiar tastes.

Nonetheless...

Looking at the beautiful scenery around, Lu Jin’an indeed felt somewhat tempted.

"What are you standing around for, undress quickly."
