Even if Cao Cao’s bid for hegemony failed, his lord seemed prepared to give Cao Cao a way out, seemingly wanting Cao Cao to serve him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Yi Jiu would never reveal this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And judging by Cao Cao’s intelligence and his current arrangements, if they didn't say anything, Cao Cao should be able to cover up this truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>From this, one could see that Cao Cao was indeed very capable and not on the same level as Lord Yuan Shao.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Lord Yuan Shao’s defeat was not unjust!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei frowned, his hatred for Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu intensifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, he also felt relief and let out a sigh of relief, thinking: \"At least it wasn't the second brother who killed the eldest brother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At least, the worst-case scenario did not happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lord Yuan Shao and Guo Tu, huh? You just wait! I want your lives!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Immediately after, Zhang Fei said hatefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After venting his hatred, Zhang Fei calmed down slightly, looked at Yi Jiu, and bowed to request: \"Sir, I will leave my family in your protection for now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Next, I am going to avenge my eldest brother, and at the same time, find my second brother, and see my two sisters-in-law and my eldest brother’s children!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I cannot take care of my family for the time being!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I, Zhang Fei, will remember this favor and will definitely repay it generously in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he had routed the encirclement army sent by Lord Yuan Shao this time, as long as it was known that he and his family were still within Jizhou and Lord Yuan Shao’s territory, Lord Yuan Shao would surely send men to deal with him continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And the next time would not be as simple as this one.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If it were just himself and his personal guard army, Zhang Fei was confident he could handle an encirclement of ten thousand men calmly; Lord Yuan Shao’s army couldn't stop him if he wanted to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But if his family and relatives were added, it wouldn't work.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, after careful consideration, it was better to hand his family over to Yi Jiu to help hide them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Jiu, hearing Zhang Fei’s words, smiled slightly: \"I already promised you this earlier, General, so that is naturally no problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Also, I can tell you my true identity now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei’s eyebrows arched, and he asked curiously: \"I really want to know this! If I hadn't been afraid of offending you, I would have asked long ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When asking for help, it was naturally not good to be too presumptuous!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But not knowing Yi Jiu’s true identity, even if he had some guesses, he still couldn't feel completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The reason he still chose to entrust his family to Yi Jiu was that he had no other choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He just didn't expect Yi Jiu to be so forthcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am a man under the Zou Qian King, Su Xuan! If you don't mind, General Zhang, I can arrange for people to send your family and relatives to Jingzhou for settlement later;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Once they are there, you won't have to worry about their safety at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course, if you want to take them away later, General, we will not stop you, nor will we use this to threaten you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His lord would not stoop to such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Zou Qian King?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei was startled, then realized: \"Indeed, I actually had some guesses before, but I couldn't be entirely sure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"After all, in this world, there are only a few warlords who can be so well-informed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now it seems my guess was correct!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I thank the Zou Qian King for this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I, Zhang Fei, will definitely repay this favor generously in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Having said this, Zhang Fei paused and couldn't help but ask: \"However, if I really want to take my family away later, can the Zou Qian King really let them go easily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, since Su Xuan sent someone to contact and help him, he must have some designs on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for what he wanted?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei had nothing else for Su Xuan to covet, except for his own skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Jiu smiled faintly: \"General, what do you think of my strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei was slightly startled, looked at Yi Jiu carefully, and said: \"If I’m not mistaken, your strength has already reached the early stage of Gang Strength? That is indeed quite impressive!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I see you are younger than me; in terms of martial arts talent, you are not much worse than me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, Zhang Fei was also curious about where Su Xuan recruited such talented people.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The key was that this person didn't seem like a traditional military general but more like a scout.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be able to afford to use a martial arts expert at the early stage of Gang Strength as a scout shows that Su Xuan is not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vaguely, Zhang Fei understood what Yi Jiu wanted to express.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>At this time, Yi Jiu said: \"Actually, my martial arts talent is very average, at least far inferior to yours, General Zhang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The reason I have achieved this level of martial arts at this age is not because my talent is so good, but because my lord provided me with sufficiently strong divine arts and techniques, and enough top-tier cultivation resources;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"And people like me, under my lord’s command, I can't say there are countless, but there are dozens or hundreds!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I am not considered an expert at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The true experts under my lord are divine generals like Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun, Old Dian Wei, Xu Chu... who have already broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm, and have even walked quite a distance within the Heaven-Human Realm;\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They are the strongest power in my lord’s hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hiss?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei couldn't help but gasp, looking incredulous: \"I heard long ago that Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun had broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I thought it might not be true!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But you are telling me now that not only Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, but even Old Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and others are already in the Heaven-Human Realm? How is this possible? When did their talent become so strong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"When did the Heaven-Human Realm become so easy to break through?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You must know, a monster like his second brother Guan Yu has not yet fully broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm, only being at the half-step Heaven-Human Realm. (Zhang Fei did not know that Guan Yu had already broken through to the early stage of the Heaven-Human Realm after killing Yan Liang and Wen Chou.)\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Jiu smiled slightly: \"I said before, it’s not entirely due to talent, but more importantly, the resources my lord can provide!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you can join my lord’s command, General, you will understand everything then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"At the same time, with your talent, General, breaking through to the Heaven-Human Realm will be a breeze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Fei was even more surprised: \"Does the Zou Qian King really have a way to help me break through to the Heaven-Human Realm in a short time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing that so many people had already broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm, Zhang Fei was indeed anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Naturally, it is true! There is no point in lying to you with such an easily exposed lie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yi Jiu nodded firmly, then continued: \"Returning to your previous question, General, my lord has such means and countless fierce generals under his command. Do you really think my lord needs to risk his reputation and use your family as a threat to force you to join his command?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shouldn't the real situation be that Zhang Fei himself begs to join his lord’s command?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After all, those divine arts and top-tier resources are good things that martial artists in the world can only dream of.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Su Xuan were truly willing to announce to the world that he would provide these things to attract martial artists and generals, who knows how many would run to join him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: Seeking first subscriptions, custom subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: Seeking first subscriptions, custom subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>",1396,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.622Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","af1342d7a1298a963c0655629cb05fabc8141a4404c155cb24ff3895cce76908","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-455","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-453",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
