Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 999 - 1009: Great Chu’s Calamity

The relationship between him and Ye Wu was quite subtle, and he still owed her a favor. As the saying goes, it’s complicated and hard to unravel.

Chu Feng was indeed somewhat afraid to interact with Ye Wu.

He already had four confidantes, and really didn’t want to get involved with more women.

Han Xiaoying, Han Shuang, and others could forgive him time and again, tolerate him. This was because they deeply loved Chu Feng.

Undoubtedly, every time Chu Feng’s heart wandered outside, bringing new women back,

it would surely hurt them.

Isn’t it true that what one fears comes to pass?

As Chu Feng passed by the auction house with Chang’e, Ye Wu’s graceful figure appeared ahead.

She seemed not to expect to encounter Chu Feng here at this moment.

Ye Wu hesitated for a moment, her gaze naturally fell on the otherworldly beautiful Chang’e. Women, especially beautiful ones, are like flowers. Competing for beauty is their instinct.

When two beautiful women meet, sparks fly instantly, and a silent contest ensues.

Ye Wu was naturally foxy and alluring, undeniably beautiful.

But unfortunately, she encountered Chang’e. Especially after consuming the Immortal Pill, Chang’e seemed more like a fairy.

Ye Wu was overshadowed.

"Wow, you change girlfriends quite often, don’t you!" Ye Wu teased Chu Feng with a sour tone.

"Hehe, she is not my girlfriend, but my wife!" Since Ye Wu had discovered, Chu Feng decided to address it openly, not intending to avoid it.

"Quietly marrying the daughter of City Lord Jin Ling, impressive!" Ye Wu’s expression changed again. However, she looked at Chang’e suspiciously. Even though she had only met Jin Lingjiao twice, a woman’s instincts are keen.

Ye Wu always felt that the Jin Lingjiao before her seemed a bit off.

Even as Chu Feng left with Chang’e, Ye Wu continued pondering with a frown.

Additionally, like Manager Bai and others, Zhong Zhan, who followed behind Chang’e as a guard, extinguished many of Ye Wu’s doubts.

"Could it be that Jin Lingjiao’s prolonged retreat caused changes? How did Chu Feng come to be with her?"

Ye Wu, heavy with thoughts, rushed towards Sword Immortal City.

She must immediately inform the elders of the Ye Family about this.

...

At this moment, the Great Chu Empire was facing an unprecedented major crisis. Panlong Heavenly Emperor made a comeback, wielding five million soldiers, which wasn’t significant. The key was, he received full support from the Undying Tomb.

For the recently founded Great Chu Empire with weak foundations, it was like a bolt from the blue.

This was truly a catastrophe.

Great Chu Empire simply couldn’t find any experts capable of contending with the Undying Tomb.

Azure Dragon City could still leverage the array for defense, halting the enemy’s advance. But what about the other cities?

They were falling at a terrifying speed, seized by Panlong Heavenly Emperor.

Additionally, Great Chu Empire had already lost several Generals.

Even Beixie National Master, the army’s Great General, was nearly killed by the corpse refining of Undying Tomb.

Those refined corpses, airborne and tunneling, were hard to defend against.

They could tunnel through the earth, bypassing the army’s blockades, directly targeting the heads of generals.

"What to do? In merely three days, we lost twenty-one cities and six Generals. As for other experts, they’re countless. If this continues, all our experts will surely perish."

Fang Xuanling frowned, seeking advice from the crowd on strategies for defending against the enemy.

Before leaving, Chu Feng entrusted them with the heavy responsibility of safeguarding the Great Chu Empire.

"Given the current situation, there’s no other way but to show great resolve and proactively abandon all cities except Azure Dragon City. Preserve the living forces, and wait for Emperor Chu’s return to discuss further strategies!"

Beixie National Master offered his opinion.

Though Chu Feng appointed Fang Xuanling to govern and Beixie National Master to command the army before leaving, facing matters of life and death, Beixie National Master dared not decide alone.

Everyone conferred and acted accordingly.

Showing great resolve requires great wisdom and courage.

Ordinary people simply can’t manage it.

Consider how the Great Chu Empire finally attained its current circumstances. Now, due to the Undying Tomb’s involvement, they must abandon the territories they had fought desperately to capture. No one would be willing.

"I also think retreating to Azure Dragon City is the best choice for now! Otherwise, if everyone dies, even retreating to Azure Dragon City would be meaningless."

Speaking was Dragon Slayer Sect Master Bei Hun.

He was extremely unlucky. Initially, he joined forces with Panlong Heavenly Emperor to attack the Great Chu Empire.

But ended up captured by Chu Feng.

With no other options, he had to switch sides at the battle, choosing to follow Chu Feng and join the Great Chu Empire.

At that time, the Great Chu Empire was unstoppable, capturing territories swiftly, leaving Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom bewildered. Panlong Heavenly Emperor was like a lost dog, nearly losing half of his dominion.

Bei Hun secretly rejoiced that his decision was finally correct, with a promising future ahead.

To demonstrate excellence and earn merits, he led experts from the Dragon Slayer Sect, often charging at the front lines. He showed no mercy towards the experts from Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom or Alchemy Sword Sect.

This earned him Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s grudge.

Unexpectedly, time flew by, and within months, circumstances changed dramatically again.

Panlong Heavenly Emperor found a strong ally in the Undying Tomb and advanced boldly, causing Great Chu Empire’s heavy defeat.

Dragon Slayer Sect had no retreat left.

It’s absolutely impossible to reintegrate into Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

He had no other choice but to address the situation alongside the Great Chu Empire.

High-ranking generals and key figures of Great Chu Empire gathered here to discuss countermeasures.

"When will my husband return? For now, retreating to Azure Dragon City might be the only feasible option." Han Xiaoying matured quickly during this time, gradually displaying the demeanor and style of an empress.

Han Shuang’s personality was completely opposite; she preferred using her unique style to address issues.

Using just one character: kill!

She sat there, wearing a mask, resembling a female rakshasa.

Both women matured rapidly on the battlefield.

Cultivation, swordsmanship, both showed significant progress.

"Since the Imperial Concubine also agrees to retreat to Azure Dragon City, let’s shrink our forces and immediately retreat to Azure Dragon City!" Fang Xuanling agreed with a nod.

Although Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang rarely intervened in political or military affairs, in matters concerning the life and death of the Great Chu Empire, their opinions held significant weight.

Azure Dragon City possessed one of the Ancient Three Major Ruined Arrays—the First Defense Formation—stronger than walls of copper and iron.

Though the enemy was powerful, they certainly wouldn’t be able to contend against them.

Unless the Spirit Stone was exhausted, failing to support. Otherwise, even if two Undying Tombs joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to breach Azure Dragon City’s defense.

"There’s no time to lose; immediately pass the order to retreat to Azure Dragon City!"

Beixie National Master decisively made the call. The army was primarily under his control.

"Retreating to Azure Dragon City now, don’t you think it’s a bit too late?" Panlong Heavenly Emperor’s sinister voice echoed, shocking the high-ranked figures of Great Chu Empire, causing their faces to pale.

This was supposed to be the rear of the battlefield; how could Panlong Heavenly Emperor appear unnoticed?
