Chapter 2213: The Red General's Demand

She came, so He Lingchuan asked directly: "I have a question I'd like the Red General to answer."

"Speak."

"Commander Zhong said you are an Innate Elemental Body, your cultivation advancing a thousand miles a day." He Lingchuan chose his words carefully, "I want to ask, how does your soul strength compare to Lady Lady Lady Mitian's?"

This answer is very important.

Ordinary people are born with body and soul matched. Zhong Wuhuan is an Innate Elemental Body, so his soul is naturally strong from birth, starting far above ordinary people. Added to his resolute temperament and diligent cultivation, his soul's progress should not lag behind his cultivation.

The environment of Panlongcheng, in tempering the mind and realm, is also extremely harsh. Cultivators speak of going to the red dust to be tempered, but the Red General was born with karma upon her.

She fell silent for a few breaths, as if comparing in her heart.

"Lady Lady Lady Mitian before only sent avatars, only three or four tenths of his true body's power, and now I can already contend with him." There's nothing unsayable about this, "Lady Lady Lady Mitian also knows, but isn't worried, because my sea of consciousness bears his mark."

He Lingchuan exclaimed in admiration: "Impressive, truly worthy of the Red General."

Three or four tenths of the Great Heavenly Demon's soul power, placed in the mortal world, is already a terrifying existence. The Red General began cultivating from her mother's womb, and in just over twenty years, she can already contend with him.

He Lingchuan truly said the words "envious" until he was tired of saying them.

But the Red General also emphasized the two words "mark."

Lady Lady Lady Mitian left his exclusive brand in her sea of consciousness; before the Red General's strength can contend with his, once she dares to resist, the brand will mercilessly suppress her!

He Lingchuan had also been marked by Narok Heaven before, so he can personally feel her helplessness and unwillingness.

"As long as the mark remains, you cannot have even a trace of resistance?"

He Lingchuan has never tried to directly oppose Narok Heaven's mark, so he himself has no answer.

"No." The Red General took two steps, the osmanthus on her shoulder falling, "Since Lady Lady Lady Mitian first descended, I have resisted many times. I must test how strong the mark's suppressing power is."

He Lingchuan secretly praised in his heart.

Yes, such stubbornness and unyieldingness is the Red General he knows.

How much suffering has Zhong Wuhuan silently endured for daring to resist the Great Heavenly Demon's mark?

But she never mentioned it in a single word.

Lady Lady Lady Mitian's fury is not something ordinary people can bear. But Zhong Wuhuan knowingly committed the offense, again and again.

Her resistance to the Great Heavenly Demon has never ceased.

"What then?" Fortunately, it is this that allows her to give He Lingchuan the answer he most wants.

"My cultivation advances day by day; facing the mark's suppression, at first I truly could not contend, but now I can already withstand it for over forty breaths."

Forty breaths is already enough to deal with many things.

The Red General said, "Precisely because the mark's suppressing power on me is growing weaker, Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true body is anxious to descend."

He Lingchuan nodded.

He had long learned from other heavenly demons that the heavenly demon's mark cannot suppress an existence stronger than the demon's true body, just as a chicken coop cannot hold a tiger. This is easy to understand, for example, Puchen God could not use a mark to restrain the true immortals of Ling Mountain.

As the spiritual qi of heaven and earth grows ever more abundant, the Red General's cultivation advances rapidly, and naturally the restraining effect of Lady Lady Lady Mitian's mark on her will grow ever weaker.

"Commander Zhong said, the time of Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true body descending is drawing ever nearer."

"Yes. At most a few months." The Red General said this with a very calm tone.

Long ago, she had already made full psychological preparations, knowing that this day would come sooner or later.

"Then——" He Lingchuan said solemnly, "There is one thing the Red General must do!"

"Speak."

"When Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true body descends, please you resist with all your strength!" He said each word clearly, "Even if you can only withstand three breaths, two breaths, one breath, please give it your all!"

"What nonsense." The Red General snorted, "How could I let Lady Lady Lady Mitian easily take this skin? Conversely, Lady Lady Lady Mitian's first act upon descending will likely be to erase my existence!"

Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true body can descend, so naturally he will exercise a hundred percent control over this skin. The original owner of this body often rebels against him, so what necessity is there for its existence?

Therefore, once Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true body descends, the Red General and he will be irreconcilable!

"That may not be." He Lingchuan pondered, "He might perhaps keep you, to use as leverage against Commander Zhong."

The Red General said lightly, "You saying this proves you still don't understand Commander Zhong."

He Lingchuan had nothing to say.

He understands, so he feels sorrow.

"In any case, Lady Lady Lady Mitian also deeply guards against us; this true body descent will likely not be simple." He Lingchuan gazed at her, "Red General, you must carefully discern."

The Red General nodded: "I came today also with a request."

"Please speak."

Having known each other this long, the Red General still speaks the word "request" for the first time, and He Lingchuan knows it is of great importance.

"If Lady Lady Lady Mitian's true body successfully descends, we are powerless to resist——" The Red General raised her hand to point at her temple, calm yet fierce, "You must, before he fully gains control, destroy this body!"

He Lingchuan was moved, but said nothing.

She has reached this point of fearlessness, able to be this ruthless even toward herself.

"I know why I was born, but even if my father and I both fail, I cannot allow the Great Heavenly Demon's true body to descend into the world and bring calamity to mankind, otherwise it would be an eternal crime." The Red General's voice finally carried a hint of strangeness, "Compared to Panlongcheng and the mortal world, it amounts to nothing. Just as I am nothing compared to Panlongcheng."

Before He Lingchuan, she used "father" to refer to Zhong Shengguang for the first time.

She turned half her body, facing He Lingchuan: "I make this request of you because only you can do it!"

The Tiger Wing General's strength and reliability are unmatched in Panlongcheng.

He Lingchuan said nothing, only gazing at her mask, as if wanting to see through this obstacle to her heart.

His gaze was very complex; even without the mask, the Red General could not understand it.

After another while, he let out a long sigh:

"Good! Your request, I cannot refuse."

His tone was very gentle.

……

Five days later, Panlong established its state, and Zhong Shengguang proclaimed himself king.

The new state celebrated for three days.

Well-wishers came from all quarters, including Ling Mountain, which sent congratulatory messages.

This scene does not appear in real historical records, showing that the Panlong world has indeed taken a different path.

After the "mother state" fell, Zhong Shengguang only then established the state and proclaimed himself king, which is legally impeccable, and both old and new Panlong people support him all the more.

He Lingchuan knew this also had the effect of stalling for time.

When the new state was first established, affairs were numerous, and naturally there was no leisure to dispatch troops in the short term; this could also temporarily divert the attention of the Panlong people.

Moreover, Zhong Shengguang's reasons for establishing the state were very sufficient; besides various practical considerations, the formidable armies of the Panlong territory also needed yuanli!
