Return of the Ancient Gods

Chapter 051: Expedition, Counterattack Begins

After resolving the hidden dangers in the capital, Chu Nan was once again sent back to Chu Xiu's team on the Western Expedition by the old man.

"Master, please take care of the capital city while we are away." Chu Nan bowed and asked. After going through a series of events, although he was sure that the forces in the capital city would not act rashly, he had to guard against those who were really bold and reckless.

At this time, the old man's role becomes crucial.

"Don't worry, I will stay here during this period of time, at least I will not leave until you come back. As for you, forget it, I won't say anything more." The old man agreed immediately and wanted to give Chu Nan a few words, but swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

"I know that although you have always acted indifferent, you still care about the safety of my disciple. I accept your kindness and will definitely come back alive." Chu Nan joked, turned to look for his target, and when he looked back again, the old man disappeared again.

"That's good, so I don't have to be at a loss when seeing you crying. Anyway, I will definitely return victorious, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Chu Nan met up with Xue'er who came to meet him, and gathered 3 troops to prepare to set sail again.

Along with him, Chen Yi Jue rode on a clouded leopard and waited, persuading:

"You have indeed grown up. All the grudges and whether you can get rid of the stigma of the past all depend on this battle.

Finally, I would like to give you a word of advice, which is also what your father said: You have extraordinary talent, which is a gift from God, but it also limits your future.

After going through these trials and tribulations, I hope you can really grow up, stand out from the crowd, and shoulder your own responsibilities and missions!"

"..."

Chu Nan wanted to say more, but Chen Yi Jue didn't want to listen, so he turned around and left, rushing to the battlefield.

"The army continues to move forward!" Chu Nan gave orders, and rode westward with Xue'er in his arms as if nothing had happened.

……

The direction of the ancient celestial religion in the east,

Chen Hezhi sensed something while on the march, so he stopped and turned his head back to look at the capital.

"People are greedy and will eventually burn themselves."

Of course, he knew everything that happened in the capital, and it was he who suggested Chu Nan to launch a counterattack.

What made the old man uncomfortable was that when he first came to Beijing, he asked Chu Nan to promise not to kill more people, but in the end he broke the promise.

Then, Chen Hezhi turned his gaze to the northwest of Xuancheng and stared for a long time. His eyes could interpret everything that would happen in the near future. He shook his head helplessly and sighed:

"Alas, hundreds of thousands of lives are going to be lost again. I hope the war will end soon and true peace will come soon. Then there won't be so many human tragedies."

……

After two days of marching, Chu Nan and his group had just gone halfway and decided to go their separate ways.

"Okay, 7 people will follow me to Xuancheng, and the rest of you will stay and act according to the plan. The outcome of this battle depends on you!

After this battle, I will definitely report your achievements to the Emperor of Chu and commend your contributions to the entire Chu Dynasty. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Everything is for Da Chu!" everyone said in unison.

The place where Chu and Nan divided their troops was a desert area bordering the Great Chu Dynasty and Northern Yan. The climate and environment were harsh, but it was where the two countries often clashed.

However, this time, since Beiyan set the battlefield somewhere else, this place seemed deserted.

Chu Nan's team of 3 people already seemed small, and now after such an incident, they are even more isolated.

……

The Chu Nan army looked at Xuancheng from afar, and their faces became extremely solemn:

"Xuancheng is just ahead, but I can smell the pungent smell of blood from a long distance away. These beasts..."

"Chu Xiu, this traitor, has ruined the lives of 15 soldiers of my army. Now he has teamed up with the evil people of Northern Yan to do such a thing that is outrageous to the world."

Massacre the city!

Northern Yan captured Xuancheng but did not occupy it. Instead, they carried out an inhumane massacre, leaving no one alive.

Chu Nan remained silent, with one hand clenched into a fist. Only Xue'er understood his tremendous anger, and her hand was almost broken by him.

Three months ago, Chu Nan came to Xuancheng once to listen to the teachings of City Lord Wen Zhong. He didn't expect that things and people have changed so much now. It's hard not to feel indignant.

"Okay, everyone, act according to the plan!" After a long time, Chu Nan came back to his senses and gave orders. He and Xue'er went to Luofengpo to fight Chu Xiu, and the rest of the people ambushed around them.

Taking out a jar of fine wine, holding the beauty in his arms, Chu Nan rode his horse leisurely.

Northern Yan military camp,

Chu Xiu and the generals of Northern Yan were the first to know about Chu Nan's arrival and the ambush.

"You are finally here. I was worried that you didn't dare to come and fight. That's great. Let's end the feud between us in a decent way." Chu Xiu said coldly. His smile was chilling, especially his sharp eyes, which were as vicious as a venomous snake.

After understanding the situation, a general from Northern Yan could not sit still and immediately made a suggestion:

"Although there are 7 ambushing soldiers in Chu Nan's surroundings, we still have to be on guard. How about I lead the troops to kill them to avoid any accidents?"

"I'm just a kid who's still wet behind the ears, trying to be clever by imitating others. Are you scared by this?" Chu Xiu waved his hand and refused.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused laughter from other generals of Northern Yan.

If Chu Nan came with hundreds of thousands of troops, there would be no need to take action. But now, the King of Chu has abandoned Chu Nan in order to protect others. What is there to be afraid of?

Chu Xiu continued to discuss various details with him, ordered them to assemble and form a battle array, and also to bring that guy to the front of the battle array.

While Chu Xiu and the people from Beiyan were talking happily, the guy hiding in the void couldn't hold back any longer:

"Everything is ready. I have shown my sincerity and given you enough benefits. Have you forgotten what you promised me? Will that man really show up?"

As soon as the Void Being spoke, the Northern Yan generals shut up one after another, fearing that they would offend the other party. Even Chu Xiu was frightened to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat, and he only said in a submissive voice:

"Don't worry, sir. Chu Nan is his son. If my son is in trouble, I can't just stand by and watch him die. Even if he doesn't show up..."

As soon as Chu Xiu's last words came out, the air immediately stagnated, the pressure suddenly increased, and all the generals of Northern Yan were forced to kneel on the ground.

Even Chu Xiu was shocked to the point of bleeding at the corner of his mouth, but he did not kneel down and hurriedly explained:

"My Lord, please calm down and listen to what I have to say. If he really shows up, that would be perfect. But if he doesn't show up, it means that his situation is extremely bad and he can't take care of himself. We can kill Chu Nan and then charge into the Shiwan Mountains."

"Whether it's that man or the Chu Nan bastard you mentioned, they must all die!" The being in the void said angrily, and the void was turbulent, and the fluctuations made the entire tent messy. It took a long time to calm down, and praised:

"Your performance just now was very good, and you have lived up to my expectations of you. If this matter is handled well, you will be a meritorious official of the Heavenly Court. I will definitely recommend you to join and train you vigorously!"

"Thank you very much for your kindness!" Chu Xiu bowed and thanked him, feeling more satisfied than ever.

Not only him, but also the Northern Yan soldiers present were extremely envious, with red eyes:

Although they have the background of a big sect, they are still far inferior to the Heavenly Court. Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu could actually receive such a reward. With such luck, plus his enchanting talent, strength and scheming, his future is promising.
