Chapter 485: Rear Move

~12 min read 2,325 words

Unlike Ning Zhuo sat cross-legged on a magic tool cushion, surrounded by floating clouds, chewing on spirit food in his mouth.

He was cultivating.

Demon-Dyed Blood Tendon Art!

In the Blood Earth Demon Tendon Dantian, the earth was covered with layers of blood tendons. Within the blood tendons, blood energy was chilling and flowing endlessly. With every heartbeat of Unlike Ning Zhuo, it rose and fell naturally like a tide.

Five Elements Qi Law!

In the Five Qi Heavenly Pivot Dantian, a five-colored vortex, like a tornado pillar, supported the sky and stepped on the earth. The five elements of qi were sometimes distinct and sometimes mixed together, converting freely.

Mirror Platform Spirit Communication Art!

In the Bright Mirror Spirit Light Dantian, there were no clouds for ten thousand miles. The upper and lower sides of the Dantian were flat and smooth, like two huge mirrors, acting as the heaven and earth.

Between the heaven and earth giant mirrors, countless small mirror divine thoughts floated quietly.

Unlike Ning Zhuo first had a face full of red demonic light, blood energy overflowing, then surrounded by five-colored brilliant light, infecting the inner layer of floating clouds. Finally, the aura converged, and the Buddha nature rose, making his face full of compassion.

He slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of turbid air.

Essence, blood, magic power, and spiritual sense were all at their peak at the moment, making his eyes shine with essence, full of vitality and vigor!

He looked around and pondered in his heart: "Now that money is abundant, it's time to set up a magic array in the cultivation cabin to assist cultivation."

"With my five elements realm, laying out a Five Qi Return to Origin Array should be within my ability."

"Excluding rare treasures like National Power Bricks, having an auxiliary cultivation array, from a long-term perspective, accumulating little by little, is absolutely beneficial!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was hiding in the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon.

Ever since Liu Er indicated that he would publicly pursue Mu Lan, Unlike Ning Zhuo had anticipated that the Three Generals Camp would suffer a strong blow.

Therefore, he disappeared in advance and hid in the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon to guard against possible attacks.

Of course, the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon did not leave the Three Generals Camp directly but was still hiding in the corner of the military camp. And, every once in a while, it would move to other places under Sun Lingtong's control and would not stay in one place for long.

Unlike Ning Zhuo ended this cultivation, opened the cabin door, and walked out.

Coming to the dragon head cabin, Sun Lingtong said to him: "Little Zhuo, you really guessed right."

"Zhang Hei was caught, Guan Hong was also stabbed, and as for Liu Er, he is estimated to have been temporarily tied up in the City Lord's Mansion."

Sun Lingtong showed Unlike Ning Zhuo the image of Guan Hong being attacked.

Unlike Ning Zhuo looked at it, his heart heavy: "This Golden Core-level assassin is very strong. If I were Guan Hong, I'm afraid I would have already had my head taken."

"Sun Gan and Shuang Jing reacted so fiercely, which means they also want to decide the outcome as soon as possible."

"The struggle surrounding Mu Lan, the Red Flower Camp, and the General's Mansion should not last long."

It was precisely because of this judgment that Unlike Ning Zhuo still endured and did not take action on his three National Power Bricks.

Sun Lingtong asked: "Little Zhuo, what should we do next?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "No one knows our true intentions; this is our advantage. Let's stay put for now and watch the contest between Liu Er and Sun Gan and Shuang Jing."

"I am increasingly curious about what trump cards Liu Er has."

Unlike Ning Zhuo waited patiently for Liu Er to return.

Liu Er was hard to hide his impatience and returned to the camp in a hurry.

He never expected the counterattack to be so fierce and violent.

"It's not good, Sun Gan and Shuang Jing have already joined forces!"

"Sigh!"

Liu Er's mood was quite heavy. After returning to the military camp, he first broke into Guan Hong's tent.

"Second brother, where are you injured? Let Big Brother see!" Liu Er called out with genuine feelings.

Guan Hong felt a warmth in his heart and shook his head at Liu Er: "Big Brother, don't worry too much; my life is still here, and the injury is not serious."

"This is not serious?!" After checking Guan Hong's arm injury, Liu Er's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Guan Hong's arm, "It's me who implicated Second Brother and Third Brother."

"Big Brother, we men roam the world; how can we cherish our own bodies? This minor injury is nothing; a little rest and I'll be fine." Guan Hong displayed his masculine spirit.

Liu Er sighed: "Your right arm was already injured, and now it's injured on top of injury. Perhaps you can ask Zhang Zhongyi to treat it."

"With the friendship between our side and the Red Flower Camp now, it shouldn't be difficult to invite Zhang Zhongyi."

Guan Hong nodded: "Big Brother, my injury is not important. What is truly important is how to rescue Third Brother."

Unlike Ning Zhuo suddenly appeared: "Two Generals, General Zhang Hei is a Capture General just conferred by the two-note kingdom, so there will be no danger to his life."

"Military Advisor!" Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo safe and sound, Liu Er and Guan Hong both had bright eyes, obviously relieved.

Unlike Ning Zhuo is now the money bag of the Three Generals Camp.

If he were plotted against, the Three Generals Camp would definitely not last long.

For the Three Generals Camp, Unlike Ning Zhuo is very important!

Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed and took the initiative to apologize, saying that he hid himself and did not share the pressure with General Guan Hong, feeling very ashamed.

Liu Er and Guan Hong both indicated that Unlike Ning Zhuo only has Foundation Establishment cultivation, and being able to protect himself is already not easy. Confronting strong enemies is naturally for them, the three Golden Core cultivators, to take the pressure. Unlike Ning Zhuo being able to protect himself has already helped them save a lot of energy, and his performance is excellent enough!

Unlike Ning Zhuo then suggested to Liu Er that to rescue General Zhang Hei, he could use Mu Lan's relationship. As the heir to the General's Mansion, she is definitely not isolated in the court and should have remaining connections.

Liu Er was tied up in the City Lord's Mansion of the Azure Forest Xiancheng, which led to his second brother being attacked and his third brother being captured, and he had completely seen through the City Lord's true face.

He acted according to the plan and went to visit Mu Lan at the Red Flower Camp.

Mu Lan had already learned the intelligence, met with Liu Er immediately, and indicated that she had already written to the Royal Capital to activate connections.

But at the same time, she also indicated to Liu Er that she had no feelings for him, and the two sides could be allies to resist the enemy together. And she promised Liu Er that if he was willing, after she took charge of the General's Seal, she could take him into the mansion and become her subordinate. Thereby breaking through the upper limit of the human-demon identity to a certain extent and becoming one of the high-level officials of the two-note kingdom.

Liu Er indicated that he was indeed sincere to Mu Lan, and this time he reached out to help, which was led by personal feelings, not coveting benefits.

Returning to the Three Generals Camp, Liu Er rarely crushed a cup.

His heart was full of anger!

Whether it was Shuang Jing, Sun Gan, or Mu Lan, they all looked down on him.

The reaction of the former two was so fierce because they thought Liu Er also came to compete for Mu Lan, which was a humiliation to them!

The latter, even in such a predicament, received Liu Er's such critical help, was unwilling to put down her posture, and was direct, without even a trace of hypocrisy. "Like me, building a career, how difficult it is!"

Liu Er felt extremely bitter in his heart.

The identity of a half-demon mixed-blood is really not welcomed.

"I listened to my teacher's words and took the initiative to expose my admiration for Mu Lan, which was the key to attracting suppression."

"This is only the first day."

"Next, I'm afraid..."

Thinking of this, Liu Er's expression became very solemn.

That night, the Three Generals Camp caught fire, burning many supplies.

In the following few days, some soldiers would disappear for no reason in the Three Generals Camp every day.

Shuang Jing exerted all his strength, offered high prices, took action against the Three Generals Camp in secret, and frantically dug for people.

The soldiers of the Three Generals Camp already had dissatisfaction; the previous ambush battle was all consumption and they didn't get anything. Even if they made contributions, the Three Generals and Unlike Ning Zhuo benefited the most.

This work was organized and uploaded by ~~

Therefore, more and more soldiers voluntarily left the Three Generals Camp and joined the White Jade Camp.

Liu Er found Unlike Ning Zhuo, wanting Unlike Ning Zhuo to invest more to stabilize people's hearts.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "Our financial resources are shallow. If we do this, we will enter the competition with Shuang Jing, which is unwise."

"This is actually not a bad thing."

"Cultivators with different hearts can take the initiative to leave the camp, and those who remain will naturally be more reliable, right?"

Although Unlike Ning Zhuo's financial resources were abundant, he was not willing to burn money on this matter.

He concluded that this matter of Mu Lan would not last long and should be clear very soon.

"In this struggle, I am not the key."

"Liu Er's trump card has not been revealed. Even if he fails and is out, the struggle between Shuang Jing and Sun Gan will also be a fierce battle."

Liu Er, seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo disagree, could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and sigh.

"Big Brother! Look what this is?"

The tent curtain was suddenly lifted, and Guan Hong, with a body of blood, broke in directly.

He threw a human head on the ground, his body full of evil spirit.

Liu Er and Unlike Ning Zhuo both showed looks of surprise, happily discovering that this head was the assassin who attacked Guan Hong that day.

"Second brother, how did you do it?" Liu Er asked.

Guan Hong stroked his beard and said proudly: "That day, although I was seriously injured, I also used my blade technique to slash the assassin and had a tracking sensation."

"I didn't take action immediately, letting this person assassinate soldiers in my camp several times."

"The more times, the more paralyzed and careless he became."

"Today I sensed he was coming again, so I took action fiercely and killed him!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately praised: "General Guan Hong's divine might!"

Liu Er also clapped and praised: "With this head, our army's morale will definitely soar! Second brother, you did too well."

The assassin's head was hung on the flagpole in the morning, and then mysteriously disappeared in the afternoon.

The morale of the Three Generals Camp soared in the morning, slipped in the afternoon, and fell by a large margin in the evening.

All because the news that Mu Lan of the Red Flower Camp was suddenly injured and fainted spread throughout the Xiancheng and several major military camps.

Liu Er and others rushed into the camp to find out the truth.

Mu Lan was indeed as pale as paper, lying on the bed, falling into a coma.

"I heard that General Mu Lan suddenly vomited blood and fainted while training soldiers. What is going on?" Liu Er asked urgently.

Zhang Zhongyi sighed: "Integrating the various clues collected afterwards, it should be that someone secretly deployed the 'Defeated Soldier and Broken General Technique'!"

"My Red Flower Camp was defeated in the ambush battle and became a defeated army."

"General Mu Lan worked hard to train soldiers, but suddenly hit this military strategy, and the military qi immediately impacted, achieving the goal of breaking the general. As a result, she vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Although her life is not in danger, she will only wake up in three days."

This was huge bad news, shocking Liu Er and Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Zhang Zhongyi bowed: "Please, General Liu and Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, help and guard General Mu Lan for a while to prevent sneak attacks."

Liu Er immediately agreed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered: "Sun Gan and Shuang Jing want to plot the General's Seal, so they must preserve Mu Lan's life."

"They must have a rear move!"

"This rear move is what we should guard against the most."

But what is the rear move? Several people discussed it, lacked intelligence, and had no results.

The next day.

The camp gate of the Red Flower Camp was opened in a hurry.

Zhang Zhongyi, Liu Er, Unlike Ning Zhuo, and others went out of the camp to welcome them.

The envoy from the Royal Capital held his head high, holding an imperial edict, and walked down the carriage.

"Where is General Mu Lan?" the envoy asked, looking down, with an unkind attitude.

Unlike Ning Zhuo and Liu Er's eyes met and then moved away, feeling a strong sense of unease in their hearts.

This rear move was much heavier than they had imagined!
