Chapter 2939

The person before him was no longer He Lingchuan, whom he could scold at will, but one of the three great emperors of the present age; he could only adjust his own emotions and change the subject: "Have they caught the killer who murdered A Yue?"

"They have." The reply came from the Red General.

He Lingchuan then turned the mirror to face the Red General.

Upon seeing the Red General, He Chunhua flinched slightly.

Even though he had long known that the Red General had entered the world and had presided over the war against Balin, seeing this legendary figure from history standing beside his eldest son still made He Chunhua feel it was unreal.

This sense of temporal dislocation...

Sigh, Panlongcheng and the Great Fanghu have indeed experienced many things he cannot comprehend.

The Red General couldn't be bothered to care about his thoughts: "The Zhao uncle and nephew took advantage of the city's fall to flee to the suburbs; I found them just now. Zhao Shu wanted to escape, but I broke his four limbs."

"What about Zhao Huanrong?" Zhao Shu is hateful, but Zhao Huanrong is the true mastermind who colluded with the Heavenly Demon and ordered Zhao Shu to kill He Yue!

"I frightened him to death."

"..." The Red General is indeed a harbinger of death, but the old Zhao thief's courage is also too small!

Such a petty man actually dares to harm the Crown Prince of Shen State?

He Lingchuan also rubbed his nose; the Red General's strike was indeed extraordinary. Then he heard her continue: "He died with his liver and gallbladder split apart, and I didn't have time to save him."

He Chunhua said resentfully: "Such a death is really too lenient for him."

The old Zhao thief died too easily; if he had fallen into my hands, I would at least make him suffer all eighteen kinds of torture!

He Lingchuan interjected: "I will send a special envoy to deliver Zhao Huanrong's head and Zhao Shu himself to Ducheng of Shen State."

"Thank you." The blow of He Yue's death to He Chunhua was immense, and it also made him think more clearly.

He Lingchuan asked him: "After taking Balin, what are your plans?"

"Rest assured." He Chunhua said wearily, "I have deep grudges and great enmity with the Lingxu Holy Venerable; in this life, compromise with them is impossible. From now on, Shen State shall be the most loyal ally of Cangyan!"

Immediately afterward, he shared intelligence with He Lingchuan.

Beika originally intended to support Balin, but the reinforcements dispatched had not yet left its own territory when they received news of Balin's fall, forcing them to return reluctantly and reconsider.

Moreover, the recent relationship between the Tiangong and the Yaodi seems to have eased; the Yaodi's recent major state policies have all received Tiangong's expression of stance and support, thus progressing smoothly.

Tiangong even tacitly allowed Lingxu City to sign a treaty with Mou State, not only ceasing hostilities but also demarcating a buffer zone between the two great powers, while simultaneously dividing several small states' interests to Mou State—two of which were originally Tiangong's spheres of influence.

Four days ago, that is, when the Red General and the Shen State army were winning successive victories against Balin, it coincided with the Chaoyuan Festival of Lingxu City. The Tiangong Yunzhu envoy and the Yaodi jointly attended the festival in the central square of the lower city, and the Lingxu Holy Venerable even displayed a magnificent divine miracle, drawing countless commoners to kneel and worship.

He Chunhua finished speaking and then asked He Lingchuan: "What do you think?"

Previously, the relationship between Lingxu City and Tiangong was very tense, and several vassal demon states had already openly torn faces, only lacking the Yaodi and the Lingxu multitude to openly break!

Not only He Lingchuan, but the whole world hopes this scene will happen as soon as possible.

In the Panlong world, Panlongcheng was able to turn danger into safety, judged by the Great Fanghu as a successful reversal of fate, also because He Lingchuan skillfully used the Heavenly Demon secret medicine "Qianchang" formula to provoke the Yaodi into openly declaring war on the Lingxu multitude, thus enabling Beika to finally free itself from the Lingxu Holy Venerable's control, and the precondition for the Heavenly Demon's descent into the world was canceled.

But the reality is far more complex than that world. Clearly, only one step away from completely tearing faces, yet the Yaodi and Tiangong's relationship has begun to warm again.

He Lingchuan asked: "What concessions has Tiangong made to the Yaodi?"

"I haven't heard yet." He Chunhua said honestly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find out."

What secrets did these two sides discuss? How could outsiders know?

"This Yaodi is far inferior to his father." The Red General interjected, "Indecisive, harboring侥幸, his conduct at the Chaoyuan Festival was nothing short of a blunder! He seeks appeasement from Tiangong, yet demands that his few vassal demon states with backbone fend for themselves."

Needless to say, the recent days of Chiyan State and Baoshu State must be unpleasant.

He Chunhua sighed: "If the Yaodi were to stand again with the Heavenly Demon, it would be a calamity for humanity."

Has the matter of weakening and dividing Beika come to this point?

"Stand again together?" The Red General then said, "The Heavenly Demon and the Yaodi are not that naive!"

"What do you mean? You just said the Yaodi's appeasement lacks backbone?"

"The formula of the 'Qianchang' secret medicine has not only been leaked, but an antidote has also been made, indicating that the Yaodi and his faction already have the ability to resist the Lingxu Holy Venerable. This point, both sides know well." The Red General continued, "Since the foundation of Lingxu multitude's rule over Beika has already been shaken, the relationship between the two sides cannot return to the past! Even if there is now some surface easing, it is merely hollow accommodation, harboring ulterior motives."

He Lingchuan interjected: "On the surface they are harmonious, but secretly they are probably brewing a major move."

"So they will still fight without cease?" He Chunhua wanted to know, "Which side will ultimately prevail?"

Internal unrest in Beika without cease is a great benefit to Shen State.

"The Lingxu Holy Venerable, without a doubt." Although his memory is incomplete, He Lingchuan will not offer a second answer, "To take what one desires, one must first give. The Lingxu Holy Venerable's willingness to perform this surface work must conceal a scheme. The Yaodi is far lacking in the deep scheming and ruthlessness of the Lingxu Holy Venerable, and he himself is of two minds; thus, he is surely no match for the Lingxu Holy Venerable."

For three thousand years they have plotted the same thing, yet still withstood the pressure of the entire heavenly realm; how steadfast is the will of the Lingxu Holy Venerable!

Just this point alone, the current Yaodi is far inferior.

The Red General drew a conclusion: "The Yaodi has already missed the best opportunity to attack; his end is worrisome."

They are all skilled in struggle, including He Chunhua; this point is likely not mistaken.

"In this world of wind and rain like darkness, I am old and can no longer see clearly." He Chunhua hehe laughed, "But, in opposing the Heavenly Demon, I will not be like the Yaodi, I will not be of two minds."

Before the Emperor of the Nine Abysses, his saying this carries great weight.

Having said that, he then closed the communication.

The ripples on the mirror surface disappeared; He Lingchuan opened the hidden compartment and threw it in.

The Red General took off his helmet and casually undid his hair bun; his thick hair fell like a waterfall, and the fierce killing god instantly became a charming beauty.

As long as she lowered her head slightly, she could meet his gaze.

The Red General raised her hand and stretched lazily, like a cat:

"I'm tired. By the way, it seems you haven't arranged a place for me to rest?"

"In the past twenty years, aside from when you were seriously injured, have you ever slept?" He Lingchuan remembered; the first gossip he heard about the Red General in the Panlong world was that she never needed to sleep!
