Chapter 155

Wen Zhong again explained in detail the details and precautions of the rescue plan to Pei Xingjian, then saw him off as he left the main tent.

As Li Jinlong, Pei Xingyan, and Pei Xingjian departed in batches, the atmosphere inside the main tent eased somewhat.

But Wen Zhong knew that the real challenge had only just begun.

He returned to the map once more, carefully studying the changes in the battle situation.

His heart was filled with worry and anxiety, but he also knew he absolutely must not act rashly!

At the moment when Wen Zhong was discussing military affairs with the generals, preparing to dispatch the army to seize Dragon Gate Pass ahead of time and occupy the strategic point to ensure the Nine Heavens Army's strategic advantage,

Suddenly, a clamor came from outside, breaking the solemn silence inside the tent.

Everyone looked at one another, unaware of what had happened.

Wen Zhong frowned slightly, waving his hand to signal a personal guard to go check.

Not long after, the guard returned to report that it was Ye Sui's son Ye Hua, who had returned from his studies, having heard that his father was trapped in the Great Yong dynasty, facing a near‑death situation.

In his desperation, he wanted to ask Wen Zhong to let him join the army on the rescue mission.

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong's heart stirred.

His impression of Ye Hua still lingered on that former reckless, spirited youth.

Now Ye Hua has completed his studies and returned, becoming a true commander.

However, later he heard that Ye Hua had been taken away by a master so profound that even the Jade Qilin War God could not fathom his depth, to cultivate.

One must know that at that time the Jade Qilin War God was the Nine Heavens Army's ostensibly strongest combat force.

He had already progressed far along the War God level.

Even he could not discern the details of that master.

One can imagine how profound his cultivation is.

Now Ye Hua has completed his training under that master and returned; surely he can bring new strength to the Nine Heavens Army.

Or perhaps he could give himself a surprise?

Thus, Wen Zhong ordered the guard to bring Ye Hua into the main tent.

One saw Ye Hua clad in jade‑colored armor, a precious sword at his waist, his bearing vigorous and spirited, a stark contrast to the inexperienced youth he had been a few years prior.

As soon as he stepped into the tent, he fell to his knees with a thud before Wen Zhong and pleaded, "Marshal Wen, please let me lead a troop to rescue my father!"

"I am willing to sign a military pledge; if I fail to rescue my father, I accept punishment under military law!"

Wen Zhong looked at Ye Hua's determined and persistent gaze, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He well knew the deep bond between Ye Hua and his father Ye Sui; at this moment his feelings must be extremely anxious.

However, the rescue operation is of great importance; a slight mistake could easily fall into the enemy's trap.

Therefore, he could not readily agree to Ye Hua's request.

Thus, Wen Zhong helped Ye Hua to his feet and said earnestly, "Poyun, I understand your feelings."

"But the rescue operation is no child's play; it requires meticulous planning and ample preparation."

"You have just returned; you are not yet sufficiently familiar with the situation in the army."

"Going ahead rashly like this would likely not only fail to save your father but also put yourself in danger."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment.

He clenched his teeth, seeming somewhat unwilling to accept it.

Yet he also understood that Wen Zhong's words were not empty.

"The rescue operation indeed requires careful action; one must not act on impulse."

"Of course, this is also because he does not yet understand his own current level."

According to the original trajectory, Su Ye's identity originally would have had no system or such.

The development of his forces would also not have been as rapid as it is now.

Originally, he was supposed to obediently enter the Nine Heavens Army for training, following the instructions of the Yun King Su Kai.

In the end, he would naturally succeed to the throne of the Yun King.

Leading the Nine Heavens Army to join the struggle for hegemony in this chaotic age.

And Ye Hua, the son of Ye Sui.

Was originally the foremost combat force under Su Ye in that trajectory.

And also the capital that Su Ye relied on to dominate the chaotic age.

The fourth on the next generation's All‑Under‑Heaven Storm Rankings – the Qilin God!

Just like Pan Shanyu, the former top combatant under the Eastern Land Imperial Star Shangguan Lie, who was once duped by Su Ye.

Both are the supreme combat forces on this Eastern Land continent.

That is, the existence of Foundation Martial 109.

However, the later Ye Hua succeeded Ye Sui as the leader of the Jade Qilin Dao Soldiers.

Thus, although their levels are roughly comparable, Ye is stronger in performance than Pan Shanyu, the Tai Sui God.

Seeing Wen Zhong still refusing to relent, Ye Hua felt extremely anxious.

He knew he must devise a way to move Wen Zhong and gain his approval to go on the rescue.

Suddenly, his heart stirred, recalling the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect that his master had specially instructed him to form before descending the mountain, based on the family‑transmitted Jade Qilin technique.

He drew a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to silently circulate the internal gang qi.

As time passed, the aura on his body grew ever stronger, as if an invisible giant beast were gradually awakening.

Just then, a deafening dragon's roar suddenly rang out, shaking the entire main tent so that it trembled slightly.

Everyone stared in astonishment as a colossal Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect appeared out of thin air, faintly visible behind Ye Hua.

That Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect radiated brilliant light from its whole body, like a divine beast descended from heaven, inspiring awe.

Wen Zhong was also startled by this sudden change.

He widened his eyes, tightly staring at that Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect, and a surge of shock and horror welled up in his heart.

He well knew that Ye Hua's strength and talent were extraordinary, yet the Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect displayed now still far exceeded his expectations.

One must know that the Nine Heavens Army has been sustaining this Jade Qilin Dao Soldiers unit for hundreds of years.

Not every generation has a War God with a Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect suitable for this Jade Qilin Dao Soldiers unit.

And this generation.

Counting Ye Sui, the original Jade Qilin War God.

Actually, two have appeared at the same time!

Moreover, these two are father and son.

Looking at the solidity of Ye Hua's Jade Qilin Dharma Aspect behind him.

It is already not inferior in the slightest to his father, the Jade Qilin War God Ye Sui.

Ye Hua slowly opened his eyes, gazing at Wen Zhong with firm and confident eyes.

He knew that he should be enough to move this Commander-in-Chief of the Nine Heavens Army.

Sure enough, after Wen Zhong fell silent for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Good! Po Yun, I agree to your request."

"In this situation, I think there is no one more suitable than you to lead this Jade Qilin Dao Soldiers unit."

"However, I have already sent your second brother Pei Xingjian to lead the Jade Qilin unit out."

"You can ride fast to catch up, then lead the Jade Qilin unit to charge the formation."

"But you must obey Pei Xingjian's arrangements and commands, and not act on your own!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hua was overjoyed, quickly kowtowing and thanking, "Thank you, Marshal Wen, for fulfilling this! I will certainly follow Second Brother Shou Yue's arrangements and commands, and will not act on my own!"

After saying that, he immediately stood up, preparing to set off at once for the rescue.

However, Wen Zhong waved his hand, signaling him to wait a moment.

He walked to the map, examined it carefully, then said, "Ye Hua, you need not rush to set out first."

"The rescue operation requires meticulous planning and preparation."

"In this way, you first catch up with Shou Yue, lead the Jade Qilin unit as the vanguard to rendezvous at Dragon Gate Pass, and then formulate a rescue plan based on the actual situation."

Although Ye Hua was anxious in his heart, he also understood that Wen Zhong's words were not empty.

He could only nod and reply, "Yes! Marshal Wen!"
