Chapter 712 -8 The Flute of the Rising Tides in the Azure Sea_3
Invade the Southern Border?
Seeing the latter part, Yan Yu could hardly keep from laughing out loud.
In his previous life, Lu Country was simply ill-fated. Constant trouble from the north, threats from the East Sea, repeated offenses from the Southern Border—it was like having a good mind but a poor behind, with elite Cultivators putting out fires everywhere. Therefore, as soon as Ishana completed the initial integration in Tianzhu, the first thing they did was choose to invade Lu Country’s Qingzang region to consolidate their forces and deepen their prestige.
But this lifetime’s Lu Country was different. There were no issues with the Amur Witch’s Group to the north, the battle at the Departure Palace in the East Sea severely wounded the Onmyoji, and the beheading strategy in the Southern Border directly replaced the Witch King. So, in this life, after assessing the situation, Ishana decisively chose to strike at the Southern Border—launching an attack from the direction of Bangladesh, planning to capture the Witch King to wash his feet!
The first Witch King Ming of the Southern Border was previously beheaded with a single sword by the Divine General Yan Yu. The current one is the second Witch King Mong. From the experience of his previous memories, Witch King Mong’s prowess on the battlefield was far inferior to Witch King Ming’s, but what he lacked in might, he made up for in diplomacy, winning allies among many Sorcerer Lords through the distribution of benefits. So, in reality, his threat to Lu Country was far greater than the first Witch King Ming.
Not long after the second Witch King Mong reconsolidated the Southern Border, he was overthrown in a coup by his own nephew—the third Witch King Nanpan.
After seizing his uncle’s patrimony, as the inheritor of a relatively united Southern Border, Witch King Nanpan brazenly launched a blitzkrieg on Lu Country and ultimately got split in two by Li Minghu’s Sea Splitting sword, inadvertently earning the title of Valkyrie—for Lu Country, this also resulted in substantial losses, but let’s not dwell on that for now.
The timeline discrepancies in this life hinge on the fact that the Golden Light Mage Suo Wen is already dead. In his previous life, after the first Witch King Ming fell, the succeeding Witch King Mong spent a great deal of effort to win over Suo Wen, thus bringing old Witch King loyalists into the fold… Now, with Suo Wen dying early, the former Witch King’s followers were leaderless, panicked, and many high-ranking Lords directly returned to their territories to declare seclusion, which inevitably brought huge obstacles to Witch King Mong’s integration of the Southern Border.
The invasion from Tianzhu’s Ishana was just the final straw that broke the camel’s back. Unable to unify the Southern Border and with Witch King Mong being too weak to stand alone, he quickly sought aid from Lu Country, claiming that if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold and that they must not let the Tianzhu Ascetics succeed.
I can’t defeat Tianzhu, but can Lu Country’s Heavenly Soldiers and Generals not defeat Tianzhu either?
“So what do you guys think?” Yan Yu asked Chen Tianming directly.
Although his tone was quite impolite, Chen Tianming, of course, would not fuss over an attitude problem with his son-in-law but simply replied with a smile,
“Witch King Mong is indecisive and has a weak stance. If Lu Country does not come to his aid, he will surely defect to Ishana. Considering the worst-case scenario, there is a risk of the Southern Border and Tianzhu possibly forming an alliance.”
“That’s highly unlikely,” Yan Yu frowned and said. “Ishana claims that after capturing Witch King Mong, he wants him to wash his feet. Can Witch King Mong really endure even that?”
Chen Tianming smiled without answering, and Li Weiguo said from the side,
“There’s nothing he can’t tolerate. With the Southern Border being fragmented and Witch King Mong’s overall strength too feeble, he will certainly have to cling to surrounding powers, be it Lu Country or Tianzhu. Without borrowing strength, he won’t last long.”
Old Li is right. Witch King Mong was already playing subordinate to Lu Country. It certainly wouldn’t be a psychological barrier for him to shift loyalties and serve Ishana like a dog.
A man who can kneel once, can certainly kneel a second and third time.
In his previous life, the incident of Tianzhu attacking the Southern Border never happened, so Yan Yu had no chance to capitalize on his advantage as a Prophet. Since Old Taishan had judged that they must fight, then fight they would.
“So we’re to provide support for the Southern Border,” Yan Yu said.
“No rush on this; just something to prepare mentally for,” Chen Tianming replied with a smile.
“Oh.” Yan Yu immediately caught on and laughed, “We’ll let them bite each other like dogs first, and enter the fray when it’s almost too late.”
“Speaking of which, a Mysterious Realm emerged in Mount Wutai this afternoon,” Li Weiguo suddenly said, tossing over a document, “And this is something you need to handle right away.”
“You’re kidding, I’ve just come back from the west!” Yan Yu protested. “Can’t I take a break? Mount Wutai is Dingbei Army’s turf, isn’t it? Send Lord Master to lead the team! And isn’t there also little Cai?”
Even the donkey on the production team gets to rest!
“Weren’t you the one who took leave voluntarily?” Li Weiguo feigned ignorance. “Now that you’re back, it’s time for you to get back on track.”
“The situation in Mount Wutai’s Mysterious Realm is complicated,” Chen Tianming also put away his smile and said seriously, “The entrance to the realm appeared in the tourist area, and many tourists have mistakenly wandered in. Moreover, many local Cultivators rushed in unauthorised before the Dingbei Army could secure the area, so we need someone reliable to lead the way and nip the crisis in the bud.”
Yan Yu understood the unspoken message from Old Taishan: You’re my man, and the only one I trust. If I let any other Officially Trained Cultivators deal with this, I’m afraid they’ll take the chance to stir up trouble and incite conflict between the local Cultivators and the public.
Chen Tianming personally facilitated the policy of embracing local Cultivators, so he definitely wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin his grand plans.
“Where’s Chen Lingyun?” Yan Yu suddenly asked.
You trust only me? That’s not right, isn’t your own daughter also nearby?
“She, along with the Huofeng Team’s Tang Xiaolian, entered the Mysterious Realm as soon as it appeared,” Chen Tianming said slowly.
“And since then, there has been no news.”

With the cooperation of the Dingbei Army, they definitely would have worn cameras before entering the Mysterious Realm. So no news meant…
Yan Yu slowly stood up:
“Understood, I will lead the team out immediately.”
