Chapter 528: Their respective journeys!

Because of the turmoil stirred up by Master Tian Ze, Zou Zou Wuzhu had to draw another batch of people to quell the rebellion. He must not let Master Tian Ze take the opportunity to cut off his channel for conveying royal orders. But Master Tian Ze was also well-versed in guerrilla tactics. Over the years, he led his subordinates to constantly create turmoil in the Minyue kingdom, but he was never caught, and his forces became increasingly powerful. This was not without reason.

Since that battle when the Han kingdom crusaded against Regarding Baiyue and he became a prisoner, during the ten years he was imprisoned, he was thinking about revenge every moment, and at the same time, he was reviewing his failure.

Although he was indulgent and arrogant for a while after coming out of the death row, soon, because of several setbacks, he recognized reality. After that, Master Tian Ze became calm and cautious.

He returned to Regarding Baiyue with the Corpse-Driving Demon, Wushuang Gui, the Hundred Poison King, and others, and he worked day and night, not daring to have any slack, carefully developing his forces.

Although after Yan Yan Lingji saw him, she mocked him, saying that for so many years, he had not taken back everything that belonged to him.

But at the same time, for so many years, Zou Zou Wuzhu had not wiped out his forces either.

At that time, Zou Zou Wuzhu could not wipe out the forces under Master Tian Ze, and now, he could not do it even more.

Master Tian Ze and his subordinates, while avoiding the encirclement and suppression by Zou Zou Wuzhu’s men, constantly stirred up turmoil in Minyue. In the past, this turmoil was a painless thing for the Minyue kingdom.

But now it was different. The Qin army was currently in the forest, launching a crusade against Minyue.

This turmoil was enough to change the direction of this war.

In the forest, the army led by Li Xin clearly felt the changes.

When he stepped into the forest, he had expected that the people of Minyue might harass the Qin army and made corresponding preparations. But when the two sides actually encountered each other, he realized the difficulty of the Minyue people. The other side was like a loach; every time they attacked the Qin army, they turned and fled. By the time they organized people to pursue, the other side had already fled into the vast forest and disappeared.

If it were in the past, Li Xin would definitely have sent people to pursue without saying a word, even if he had to dig three feet into the ground to kill these Minyue people.

But now he did not do so.

Not only because of the instructions of the Emperor before he came, but also because the situation in Regarding Baiyue was more complex than he imagined.

After all, the Qin army had just arrived in this forest and was completely unfamiliar with this continuous forest, while the Regarding Baiyue people were different. They lived in it for generations and were very familiar with the environment inside.

Along the way, they encountered many poisonous miasmas, poisonous insects, and fierce beasts. These encounters made Li Xin know a little more about this forest and know the dangers hidden in it, which naturally made him not dare to rush forward.

Facing the harassment of the Minyue people, all he could do was to be as vigilant as possible.

However, soon, he found that the number of times the Minyue people harassed the Qin army had decreased.

In the past, the Minyue people attacked the Qin army day and night. Now, often for many days, they would not encounter a Minyue person. This change was too obvious, and it was hard for Li Xin not to notice.

This made him look at Yan Yan Lingji who had already returned.

"Miss Yan Yan Lingji, is this matter related to you～～?"

Yan Yan Lingji gave an answer: "To be precise, someone wanted to take revenge on Zou Zou Wuzhu, so we hit it off! They chose to help us!"

Li Xin’s eyes flickered, revealing a thoughtful look.

Yan Yan Lingji did not explain much. She could only say that persuading Master Tian Ze to help the Qin State was indeed a troublesome matter. Even though she thought she knew Master Tian Ze very well, it took a lot of effort to accomplish this. Master Tian Ze had indeed changed a lot compared to those years.

With the help of Master Tian Ze, the people of Minyue were unable to harass the Qin army led by Li Xin. The Qin army used the mechanical beasts developed by the Gongshu family to cut a path in the forest. At the same time, there were many insect repellent herbs and antidotes developed by Nian Duan, and members of the Yin-Yang School accompanied them to help. Although the speed of the march was not fast, the Qin army basically did not encounter any obstacles along the way and crossed the vast forest to arrive at the territory of the Minyue kingdom.

After that, it was the thing the Qin State was best at.

That is... war!

When the Minyue kingdom lost the natural barriers of towering mountains and deep forests, and when the Qin army arrived at the living area of the Minyue kingdom, it was like entering an uninhabited land. Even if the King of Minyue, Zou Zou Wuzhu, organized soldiers to resist the Qin army in time.

But the Qin army was not the Han army of the past, nor was it the Chu army. In the past, when the Han and Chu kingdoms joined forces, they still made the Minyue kingdom suffer a great defeat, let alone the strength of the Qin State, which was even greater than the combined strength of these two kingdoms. And the current Minyue kingdom was no longer the Minyue kingdom of that year. Compared with the Minyue kingdom of that year, the current Minyue was much weaker.

This war took a long time from preparation, and the Qin army also spent many days marching in the forest. But when the Qin army arrived in the territory of the Minyue kingdom, the speed at which the war ended was faster than imagined.

The army of the Minyue kingdom was like clay chickens and pottery dogs, collapsing at the first touch.

Facing the Qin army’s attack.

The King of Minyue, Zou Zou Wuzhu, who originally lived in the palace of the Minyue kingdom, finally lost his calm and composed attitude. He began to panic.

Afterward, he prepared to imitate his father, and seeing that the situation was not good, he prepared to slip away.

Even if the Qin State occupied this place, as long as he escaped, he could still rebuild the Minyue kingdom in other places.

However, this time, he wanted to escape, but it was not so easy.

A person who was extremely familiar to him cut off his retreat. This person was... Master Tian Ze!

The half-brother of the King of Minyue, Zou Zou Wuzhu, and the deposed crown prince of the Minyue kingdom!

On the sea.

The Mirage set sail again, leaving Mount Mount Liupo and heading towards the more distant sea area.

Because the world’s spiritual energy in this sea area was abundant, Lady Yan and the other members of the Yin-Yang School resumed their cultivation.

Jing Ke and the Mohists continued to digest what they had seen and heard on Mount Mount Liupo.

Although they did not know the reason why such an ancient immortal mountain as Mount Mount Liupo became so dead and withered, if what Gan Jiang Gan Jiang Taigong said was true, then there was no doubt that their trip would unveil the mysterious world that had been silent in history and silent in time.

What did the Mountain and Sea world look like?

Was it a vibrant world? Or was it a world as dead and silent as Mount Mount Liupo?
