Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Time flows quietly, soundlessly, just like those bygone days that can never return.

Around the Shen Wu Xian Zhou General's Mansion, all buildings have been completely leveled, rubble and debris cleared clean, leaving only a vast expanse of empty flat ground.

This is a battlefield deliberately cleared for the coming great battle, with no superfluous cover, only the wind sweeping across the open space, emitting a faint whistling sound.

Outside the General's Mansion main gate, one hundred thousand cavalry are arrayed in neat formation, three hundred thousand infantry lined up in order, armor gleaming with cold luster under the sky light, majestic momentum.

Yet at this moment, within this military formation that should be grim and murderous, incense smoke curls gently, warmth pervades.

Four or five soldiers sit clustered together, an iron pot set up, hot pot boiling, hot steam rising thickly.

Everyone chats and laughs, eating meat in big mouthfuls, drinking soup in big bowls, as if they have long since seen through life and death, tossing the coming great battle to the back of their minds.

Xuan Ge sits by one of the campfires, beside him are Commander Wei Qing and several personal guards; he picks up chopsticks, picks up a piece of tender white tofu, and deliberately says with a teasing tone and a smile:

"Eat pickled vegetables rolled with tofu~ Xianzhou Tablet cannot compare to me~"

Wei Qing picks up a slice of meat roll with alternating fat and lean, puts it in his mouth, chews and swallows, laughs and shakes his head, teasing:

"General, you are mistaken; the Marshal has been providing you with clear wine all along, attending to every detail."

"Otherwise, if the Marshal hears these words, you will get beaten again."

The several personal guards, hearing this, nearly spray laughter, hurriedly swallow the food in their mouths, while holding back laughter they persuade Xuan Ge:

"General, Commander Wei is right!"

"Every time you go to the Marshal's place, we can only watch helplessly as you get beaten; our hearts ache for you, hahahaha."

Xuan Ge holds chopsticks, lightly taps the heads of the several personal guards, tone carrying teasing:

"I am a grown man, of course I must yield to her."

"And you few, dare mock me again, careful I give you small shoes to wear, punish you to sweep public toilets."

"Hahahaha, we dare not, we dare not!" The several personal guards laugh fully, hurriedly wave hands begging for mercy.

"General, we won't make trouble anymore, you had better first pass Strategist Ling Sha's barrier."

"Otherwise, us personal guards always seeing you eat a loss, our hearts truly feel bad, hahahaha."

Xuan Ge laughs and shakes his head, sighs helplessly, picks up a pair of chopsticks of emerald green vegetables, slowly delivers them into his mouth.

Ling Sha.... that barrier, he truly cannot pass.

Since Xing Xiao appeared, Ling Sha has become increasingly sharp, every aspect able to be taken care of perfectly, meticulous down to the finest detail.

Sometimes, he even feels that he, this General, is about to be hollowed out by her.

But this "hollowing out" carries not a shred of malice, only a heart full of concern and protection, and he accepts it willingly.

Everyone chats and eats for a while more, Xuan Ge puts down bowl and chopsticks, picks up a brocade handkerchief at his side, lightly wipes his mouth, expression instantly turns solemn, says faintly:

"They have come."

Words just fallen, the originally clamorous military formation instantly quiets down.

Personal guards immediately put down bowl and chopsticks in hand, rise and form ranks;

Cavalry swiftly mount horses, grip reins, gazes sharp;

Infantry quickly form neat square formations, bearing upright, expressions solemn.

Everyone's gazes, all uniformly look toward the distance.

There, a dense black tide, rapidly approaching, blotting out sky and sun, that is the Abundance Allied Forces, already having logged into Shen Wu Xian Zhou.

Xuan Ge turns head to glance at Wei Qing, tone calm, slowly instructs: "Commanding matters, I leave to you."

Wei Qing immediately steps forward one step, facing Xuan Ge respectfully clasps fists in salute, deep voice responds:

"This subordinate obeys! Please rest assured General, this subordinate will certainly not disgrace the mission!"

His voice firm, but in his eyes, a trace of worry cannot be concealed.

From the Observation Device display, this Abundance Allied Forces not only numerous in number, but also brought one Abundance Emissary, besides that, dozens of strong Fate Path Persons, strength not to be underestimated.

Moreover, he can see, the General at this moment is enduring endless pain.

For the Shen Wu Army stationed in Shen Wu, and himself, to survive under the crushing of the Abundance Allied Forces' tens of millions of troops, the General did not hesitate to divide his own Vidyadhara Emissary power equally among everyone.

This sacrifice, heavy and great.

He cannot persuade, also unable to persuade.

The only thing he can do is exert full strength to command the battle, minimize Shen Wu Army losses as much as possible, not betray the power the General divided out, not betray the General's trust.

Xuan Ge looks at the worry in Wei Qing's eyes, nods slightly, says nothing more, then turns, walks toward the inside of the General's Mansion.

The next battlefield will be divided into two waves.

Soldier against soldier, general against general.

King against king.

Wei Qing commands the great army, against the Abundance Allied Forces' ordinary soldiers;

And he, will stay behind, against that Abundance Emissary and strong Fate Path walkers.

Walking into the General's Mansion, Xuan Ge's steps do not stop, directly walks to the courtyard, stops his steps.

Here, is his battlefield.

Decorations around the courtyard have long been completely scraped flat, no rockeries, no flowers and trees, only a piece of flat open ground left, enough to accommodate two people fighting with full strength.

Xuan Ge slowly walks to the courtyard center, where two chairs and a table have long been placed, on the table, tea leaves and tea utensils neatly arranged.

He sits with composure, picks up the teapot, quietly brews tea, quietly awaiting someone's arrival.

Not long after, the gates of the General's Mansion were slowly pushed open, emitting a "creak" that broke the silence of the courtyard.

Xuan Ge raised his eyes and looked over coldly, but once he could clearly see the visitor's appearance, a faint smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he said casually:

"Quite polite, didn't break down the door."

A man with long golden hair slowly walked in.

His upper body was bare, his bronze skin covered in golden lines that shimmered with a strange luster in the daylight;

his lower body wore attire like armor, heavy and imposing, each step exuding a powerful aura.

He was no one else, but precisely the Commander of this Abundance Allied Army, the Abundance Emissary—Yu Huang.

Yu Huang walked to the table, sat down without ceremony, his expression cold, without a bit of small talk.

Xuan Ge picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea, his tone carrying a bit of teasing:

"The boy who trembled at the sight of the Yu Huang of old, protected to the death back then, has grown up."

"And become an Abundance Emissary, it seems your studies over these years have been quite thorough."

Yu Huang naturally took the teacup, took a light sip, raised his eyes to look at Xuan Ge, his tone carrying a bit of mockery and counterattack:

"All thanks to General Shenwei."

"If it weren't for you exterminating everyone back then, if it weren't for the humiliation you gave me, how could I have climbed step by step to this height today."

"And how could I talk about killing you with my own hands today?"

"So confident?" Xuan Ge calmly looked at Yu Huang, his eyes without a ripple.

"Just with these people you brought, they're not enough to look at."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of Bu Deshou tribe chiefs quietly walked out from around the courtyard, surrounding Xuan Ge on all sides, their expressions fierce, their auras biting.

Besides them, there were several Abundance Strong Fate Path Persons, and several Wing Crafters, standing behind Yu Huang, ready to strike at any moment.

Yu Huang's gaze fell on Xuan Ge's bloodshot eyes, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth:

"I originally wasn't very confident."

"But I didn't expect you to be so arrogant, unwilling to spare your own Hunt power to protect your soldiers, dividing it among them instead."

"Hehe~ Xuan Ge, your brain must be about to explode now? Suffering the pain of divided power, your strength greatly reduced, what do you have to fight me with?"

"I am now very confident, able to kill you with my own hands, to avenge the Wing Crafters of old, to avenge my tribesmen!"

Yu Huang raised his hand and also poured a cup of tea for Xuan Ge, but he deliberately filled it to the brim, the tea overflowing, dripping along the edge of the table, soaking the tabletop.

This cup of overflowing tea represented his determination.

He would make Xuan Ge leave this Huan Yu forever, never having a chance to live again.

Xuan Ge looked at the overflowing tea, not caring at all, picked up the teacup, lightly poured out some, then took a sip, his tone flat:

"I've disappointed you; right now, I am indeed not at my peak."

Seeing Xuan Ge so calm, even actively admitting his strength had greatly decreased, the guard in Yu Huang's heart finally relaxed a bit.

He stared at Xuan Ge, his tone becoming urgent, carrying a trace of suppressed anger, slowly asking:

"Shenwei, back then you stormed the Wing Crafters' Da Ben Ying, cruelly slaughtering my tribesmen!"

"And! You kidnapped my little sister...."

Yu Huang didn't finish speaking before stopping.

He knew Xuan Ge clearly understood what he wanted to ask.

He stared fixedly at Xuan Ge, his eyes crimson, the aura around him becoming increasingly biting, waiting for Xuan Ge's answer.

That was his obsession of many years, and also one of the purposes of his coming this time.

"Oh~? Let me think."

Xuan Ge put down the teacup, pretending to think seriously, his brow slightly furrowed, his tone confused: "Your little sister?"

His appearance was vividly acted, as if he really didn't remember, almost making Yu Huang, who had endured for so long, snap on the spot.

Xuan Ge naturally knew who Yu Huang's little sister was; not only did he know, he also knew who Yu Huang's little sister's daughter was, what she was called, and where she was now—all crystal clear.

But he had no intention of telling the truth.

Dealing with someone like Yu Huang who was easily angered, Xuan Ge chose the most provocative approach.

After a moment, Xuan Ge seemed to finally remember, patted his forehead, his tone carrying a bit of casualness:

"Oh~ I remember now, it's that little girl~"

"So it's your little sister; I just don't remember her."

He raised his eyes, staring directly at Yu Huang's face that was almost twisted, hating to rush up and kill him immediately, word by word, his tone carrying extreme mockery and cold indifference, countering:

"After I used her, naturally I had to kill her; you don't even know this?"

"You wouldn't really think General Shenwei is actually a good person, would you? Hahahahaha!"

"Xuan Ge! I cao ni ma!"

After hearing these words, Yu Huang instantly flew into a rage, the anger suppressed in his heart for many years was completely ignited.

His eyes instantly turned blood red, the golden lines all over his body surged, his aura became violent to the extreme.

He violently raised his hand, flipping over the table in front of him in one go, tea sets shattering, tea splashing everywhere.

Immediately after, his figure moved, a long spear instantly appeared in his hand, the spear body emitting a strange red light, carrying deadly killing intent, thrusting fiercely at Xuan Ge.
