Chapter 150: Conspiracy Emerges

If Amuer really pushes Su Ye to the brink in the future,

What awaits him is the peak-period Imperial Emperor Armor, plus a White Tiger with the Heavenly Four Spirits Combined Skill fully activated.

Moreover, the other three of the Heavenly Four Spirits are present.

Besides, Amuer is a steppe alien tribe.

This means the abilities of the Heavenly Four Spirits and even the White Tiger will be fully exerted at 100%.

Peak Imperial Emperor Armor plus a White Tiger with full firepower.

Furthermore, there is a Great Sniper Vermilion Bird with the Heavenly Four Spirits Combined Skill activated, aiming at him.

Su Ye just doesn't believe it.

Even like this, they still can't kill him!

"Although this transaction's standards were hard to achieve, it also allowed us to understand each other more deeply."

"In future cooperation, we need to be more cautious and careful, so as not to be taken advantage of by the other side."

Thinking this, Su Ye gathered his scattered thoughts and concluded:

Xun Yu and the others nodded in agreement.

This exchange with Amuer and others is merely the beginning of bilateral cooperation; the real test lies ahead.

Meanwhile, on Su Ye's side in Cangzhou, while secretly trading with the Longyao Tribe,

The elite force sent by the Yunzhou Nine Heavens Army to support the Prince Xuan of Wenzhou in Great Yong was also making its way, whether rushing or delaying.

After enduring a lengthy trek, Ye Sui-led Nine Heavens Army successfully reached Wenzhou.

At this time, Wenzhou was besieged by enemy forces, and the situation was perilous.

Therefore, the arrival of the Nine Heavens Army was like a refreshing stream flowing into Prince Xuan's heart.

Prince Xuan personally went out of the city to greet the Nine Heavens Army, tearfully expressing his gratitude to Ye Sui.

He even directly handed over full authority over Wenzhou's defenses to the Nine Heavens Army on the spot.

In the following days, the Nine Heavens Army, under Ye Sui's command, engaged in fierce battles with the attacking Sparrow King and other feudal lords' armies.

Thanks to its superb tactics and extraordinary strength, it repeatedly thwarted those feudal lords' offensives.

Under Ye Sui's skillful command, the Nine Heavens Army advanced like a tiger descending the mountain, unstoppable.

The banner of the Nine Heavens Army flew high on the battlefield, becoming an ineradicable nightmare in the enemies' minds.

At the same time, a divine general named Lu Junyi, upon his first deployment, displayed astonishing martial prowess and tactical talent.

On the battlefield, he was fearless and valiant; his spear moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, each swing capable of taking several enemy lives.

After a series of consecutive victories, Lu Junyi's prestige within the Nine Heavens Army reached a remarkably high level.

Delighted, Ye Sui on the spot accepted him as a disciple.

At the same time, he imparted the exclusive cultivation technique of the Jade Qilin Dao Soldiers, the Jade Lin Heart Sutra, to him.

Meanwhile, the Nine Heavens Army, through one victory after another, saw its prestige in Wenzhou reach its peak.

Seeing this, the Prince Xuan of Wenzhou had no choice but to transfer full authority over defenses to Ye Sui.

Everything went too smoothly, to an excessive degree.

It seemed as if everyone, including Prince Xuan, was intentionally cooperating.

After receiving Su Kai's order, Ye Sui took full charge of Wenzhou's defenses, swiftly integrating the troops and reinforcing the city's defenses, giving Wenzhou a completely new outlook.

However, while Lu Junyi and others were immersed in the joy of victory, Ye Sui sensed something amiss.

He noticed that Prince Xuan's attitude had subtly changed, seeming to develop a hint of wariness and guard against these foreign commanders.

At the same time, he also sensed some unusual movements within the army, as if a covert current was surging.

One night, Ye Sui summoned Lu Junyi to his tent.

The two sat facing each other; after a moment of silence, Ye Sui spoke: "Junyi, have you felt that the recent atmosphere is somewhat off?"

Lu Junyi blinked, then shook his head: "No, I think everyone is quite happy; we've won several battles, morale is high."

Ye Sui slightly furrowed his brows: "Perhaps I'm overthinking it."

"However, I always feel that Prince Xuan's attitude toward us is somewhat strange; you give the order for them to be extra careful."

Lu Junyi, not understanding why, still nodded: "Understood, I'll have them pay attention."

However, just as they were talking, suddenly hurried footsteps sounded.

A soldier burst into the tent, panicked, reporting: "General, something's wrong!"

"Prince Xuan suddenly summoned a group of his trusted generals, seemingly plotting something!"

Ye Sui and Lu Junyi exchanged a glance, both seeing the solemn look in each other's eyes.

They knew things might not be so simple.

Ye Sui made a swift decision: "Lu Junyi, immediately take some people to investigate the situation and see what Prince Xuan is up to."

"Remember, act cautiously and don't startle the snake."

Lu Junyi responded affirmatively, immediately taking a few trusted soldiers and leaving the main camp.

Relying on Lu Junyi's divine-general-level strength, they easily evaded those soldiers under Prince Xuan at the time, silently infiltrating Wenzhou City and arriving near Prince Xuan's residence.

It was already late at night, yet Prince Xuan's residence was brightly lit, with faint whispers audible from within.

Lu Junyi and company cautiously approached the residence, trying to overhear the conversation inside.

However, what they heard left them stunned.

At this moment, Prince Xuan was actually conferring with a group of his core generals about how to regain military authority and deal with the Nine Heavens Army.

They planned to strike at the victory banquet the next day, sweeping away the Nine Heavens Army with lightning speed before anyone could react.

Lu Junyi and company listened with pounding hearts, knowing the situation was grave and they must immediately return to report to Ye Sui.

Thus they quietly left the residence and returned to the main camp.

It is merely in a place they don't know.

The murmurs inside Prince Xuan's residence actually fell silent as soon as they left.

And at the place they had left.

A cultivator whose entire body was enveloped in inner energy also silently appeared.

He was actually an inner power cultivator of the Cultivation realm.

But it was strange that.

According to the intelligence of the Nine Heavens Army's Misty Cloud.

Prince Xuan, a relatively weak feudal lord within Great Yong.

Under his command, there has never been any sign of a Cultivation cultivator!

And at the Nine Heavens Army's camp outside the city.

After hearing Lu Junyi's report, Ye Sui's face grew solemn.

He knew Prince Xuan's ambition and conspiracy had been fully exposed, and now he must act to face the looming crisis.

He put on a stern face and immediately summoned the senior officers of the Nine Heavens Army to discuss countermeasures.

After a heated discussion, they decided to strike first at tomorrow's victory feast, to capture Prince Xuan and his close aides in one sweep.

To prevent any mishaps, they also drew up detailed plans and emergency contingencies.

The next morning, sunlight bathed the earth, but a heavy haze hung over the sky of Wen Prefecture City.

The victory feast proceeded as scheduled, with Prince Xuan and his close aide officers seated in the place of honor, beaming, while the Nine Heavens Army's soldiers stood in rows on both sides.

After three rounds of drinks, Prince Xuan suddenly rose, raised his wine cup and loudly said, "Comrades, you have worked hard!"

"Today's great victory is all thanks to everyone's brave fighting!"

"Come! Let us all drink this cup together!"

However, just as his words fell, Ye Sui suddenly drew his sword and shouted, "Wait!"

"Your Highness Prince Xuan, this cup of wine is probably not so easy to drink, is it?"

Prince Xuan's face changed and he angrily shouted: "War God Yulin, what are you trying to do?"

"Could it be that the Nine Heavens Army is already this eager?"

Ye Sui snorted coldly: "Eager? I think it's Prince Xuan who's eager!"

"Do you think we don't know your conspiracy?"

"Isn't today's Hongmen banquet set up just to deal with us Nine Heavens Army?"
