Chapter 1775: Chapter 1074: A Delight to the Eyes

The few people who were initially displeased now desperately wanted to pull Fu Shuangshuang to their side for protection, after all, even if she had princess syndrome, she could at least raise their survival rate by half.

The military council begins.

Even within the core military tent, not all lieutenant generals could enter. Only those like Zhi Yuan, who held official rank among the minor commanders, along with other key figures and those with special identities, could enter. Their average level was at least Starfall.

Of course, there were exceptions, like the singular Cloud Ascendant level Fu Shuangshuang, who was treated like a treasure and placed at the forefront of the Yellow Sand Land because female cultivators there were always scarce, even rarer in the army. She was like a flower among the green leaves~~ The eyes of those old men looking at her could turn syrupy.

The people from the Red Maple Forest felt quite disdainful, considering it shameful. But cross-eyed, they looked at the Azure Cloud Skies to their left… They were much calmer. Why? Because they also had a master with the Soul Perception talent, and not just at Starfall level.

Though she was a woman too.

Zhi Yuan withdrew his gaze from that direction.

The council on this side commenced.

At the top, the three most powerful commanders were naturally General Bi Kong of the Azure Cloud Skies, Hong Feng of the Red Maple Forest, and Huang Sha of the Yellow Sand Land.

In terms of strength, Azure Cloud Skies was originally the strongest, Bi Kong being a Heavenly Venerate at the Third Level, whereas Hong Feng and Huang Sha were at the pinnacle of the Second Level.

Even though people like Fei Ye were also at the Second Level, within the Heavenly Venerate tier, one rank can differ vastly. Frankly speaking, Hong Feng and Huang Sha could easily trample four or five Fei Yes alone.

Moreover, Azure Cloud Skies had more than just one Bi Kong.

“Let’s proceed as arranged…. People over at Blue and White are just waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves because if we lose…”

General Huang Sha crossed his legs and laughed heartily: “Haha, then our face is gone because the millions of people over at Blue and White will take turns ridiculing and mocking us. Even if we return to the Blood Refinement Area, we’ll be pointed and whispered about…”

Everyone: “…..”

How straightforward.

“By the way, Bi Kong, how’s Yun Tiankong doing on that side?” Hong Feng asked.

Speaking of Yun Tiankong, the generals present were somewhat concerned.

Yun Tiankong is quite a fierce general. If he’s dead or unable to fight, it will absolutely affect the battle’s outcome.

Moreover, Yun Tiankong’s identity is very special; if he really dies on the Outer Domain Battlefield, the consequences will be quite serious.

Suddenly, a commotion sounded from outside.

Bi Kong’s eyebrow twitched slightly and said: “Initially not so good, but now perhaps not.”

The three generals vanished and went outside.

The flap of the tent was lifted, and everyone walked out…

Outside the tent, the commotion from Yang Feng and others came from eleven returning people.

The other ten people were Azure Cloud Skies’ most formidable lieutenant generals, known to Yang Feng and others, but their eyes involuntarily floated towards the other person…

That woman….

Like green smoke, like vast mist, a longsword carried behind her, with sword tassels fluttering in the breeze…

Yang Feng: “Pleasing to the eye indeed.”

Everyone: “Indeed… Pleasing to the eye indeed…”

Bi Kong came out.

Oh, the ordinarily unsmiling Bi Kong had a detectable hint of joy in his eyes and expression.

Fei Ye and others were very surprised, but this woman…

“Junior Sister Yen…”

Bi Kong looked at Yen Yileng, and Yen Yileng nodded slightly, “General Bi Kong…”

“I suppose you were notified by the Supreme?”

Bi Kong naturally saw a hint from the expressions of the other ten people, the Ten Thousand Ice Mysterious Lotus was acquired, and it was Yen Yileng who got it.

“Yes,” Yen Yileng’s attitude was not warm, but those familiar with her knew that’s just her nature.

Before Bi Kong could speak, a tent flap lifted and Medical Venerable Liew Bai showed his handsome face, “The flower? Situation isn’t very good.”

Yen Yileng exchanged a glance with Bi Kong, then accompanied by Hong Feng and Huang Sha, all the generals slipped into the tent.

Fei Ye and others instructed numerous officers to remain vigilant of their respective duties, yet couldn’t stop these people from discussing.

“Hey, just who was that…”

“Yen… Yen Yileng, right? The disciple of Supreme Yun from the Imperial Court… It’s said General Yun Tiankong is the nephew of Supreme Yun.”

“Whoa, such a big background!”

“You all didn’t know, Bi Kong also once studied under Supreme Yun… He, Yun Tiankong, and Yen Yileng are from the same school, only Supreme Yun rarely comes forth and rarely acknowledges who is his disciple… He chooses students based on his own preference… Officially acknowledged are only Yen Yileng and one other person….”

Besides Bi Kong, Azure Cloud Skies also had a General Yun, with strength not inferior to Hong Feng. This was Yun Tiankong everyone was talking about, Yang Feng and others didn’t know such a big background, no wonder Hong Feng and others were so concerned earlier.

Supreme Yun is one of the Four Supremes of Three Realms Origin.

Bold enough to challenge people like God’s Jasper and Shura, the strongest Heavenly Venerate…

Though not fostering students worldwide, disciples under his hand are all Heavenly Venerates, equivalent to the most respected figures of Three Realms Origin. Even Yazu and Ghost City Lord hold Supreme Yun in high esteem.

Even though Supreme Yun doesn’t concern himself with worldly affairs, he maintains the orthodox Human Race Imperial Court, serving as a spiritual model, hence receiving even more respect…

“It’s said the other disciple acknowledged by Supreme Yun… also has the Soul Perception talent…”

Someone muttered so casually, yet it wasn’t clear…

Inside the tent, the tall and gallant man lying on the bed had his eyes closed, breath weak, like a flickering candle flame extinguishing bit by bit.

Upon seeing her childhood companion in such a state, Yen Yileng furrowed her brows tightly.

Liao’s poison from the Poison Vein Clan…. If not for Liew Bai accompanying the army this time, he probably wouldn’t last so long.”

Hong Feng and Huang Sha, seeing Yun Tiankong, whose strength was similar to theirs, reduced to such a state, felt apprehensive.

The Poison Vein Clan…

“No need to flatter me. Should you both get poisoned one day, I will definitely charge a fee…”

Liew Bai’s words made Huang Sha and the others roll their eyes.

“Alright, we know you have a good relationship with Yun Tiankong.”

“Not exactly, it’s just because his aunt is Supreme Yun, and her sister Yun Yixue is one of the rare beauties of the Three Realms Origin, and his childhood friend Miss Yen is also a beauty….”

Hehe, you’re quite honest.

Yen Yileng also recognized Liew Bai, being used to his carefree ways, and said nothing.

However, though Liew Bai talked casually, his actions were steady, and when he saw Yen Yileng take out the Ten Thousand Ice Mysterious Lotus, his eyes lit up: “Indeed, only Miss Yen could manage such a task, that Evil Dragon entrenched, yet you handled it so easily, while General Bi Kong was naive enough to send several Starfalls…”

General Bi Kong felt helpless; how could he have known there were Glacier Evil Dragons? Still, he admitted it was indeed reckless.

“It wasn’t my own strength…someone helped.”

Yen Yileng finished speaking and walked aside to sit down. Being always aloof, others did not press her with more questions.

The medicinal materials were all in place, making it easy to save the person.

Several admirals were discussing military matters nearby, and Yen Yileng closed her eyes to ponder for a moment, then suddenly stood up and left the main tent.

Hong Feng and others were puzzled—where was she going?

Outside the tent, Yang Feng and others were discussing. When they suddenly saw the Beauty Swordsman leaving the tent, turning into Sword Qi, a lone swan, and quickly disappearing beyond the dust…

Yang Feng and the others were already mesmerized.

“Jie Jie, is this what they call the beauty like a sword, with sword Qi that startles the swan…”

The chubby one blinked and marveled, only to be teased by a lieutenant general from Yellow Sand Land nearby.

“Chubby, don’t speak carelessly; within our three armies, there’s another stunning beauty, also an admiral, but at the Starfall Level…”

Starfall Level Admiral?

Are all admirals not at the Heavenly Venerate Level?

On another side, atop one of the Thirteen Arrow Towers where the army was camped.

Yen Yileng landed inside, looking at the woman leaning against the railing…

Her posture was exquisite, her demeanor as graceful as a startled swan; even from afar she was so, let alone up close.

She was the Starfall General of Azure Cloud Skies.

“Jing Hong”

Yen Yileng’s expression softened slightly as she produced a scroll and handed it to the woman.

Jing Hong turned her face, eyes sparkling with life, astoundingly beautiful.

Seeing the scroll, she chuckled: “Master remembers me surely because you often mention me, don’t you?”

“The Outer Domain Battlefield is dangerous; you should always be cautious…”

Jing Hong merely smiled without speaking, accepting the scroll, and handed Yen Yileng an item, a plant that grows only in the Outer Domain Battlefield—the Language Decipher Flower.

“The Outer Domain Battlefield is actually quite a boring place; when idle, I use Language Decipher to fold things…I give this to you, as a small token of gratitude for your long journey.”

Receiving the Language Decipher Bird offered to her, Yen Yileng’s fingertips felt cold.

“Do you stay here for a long time? Isn’t it the scouts’ job?”

“Being high up gives a better view…so I can see the one I’m seeking…perhaps, he can see me too…”

The latter words bore a tinge of loneliness.

Yen Yileng did not speak further. This junior disciple who joined later was very much to her liking, yet in truth, did not pursue cultivation diligently. Her master once remarked—beauty Jing Hong was born for love.

Such dedication perhaps makes people worry she might die for love.

“You came to the Outer Domain Battlefield, not for killing, nor for fighting, nor for conquest, but for that person…then that person surely is a man of fiery valor.”

Fairy Jing Hong tilted her head, smiling, “He indeed is full of valor, achieving great deeds when young, with deep feelings and righteousness, love as vast as the sea….Yet he does not favour this battlefield of slaughter, but he will surely come here, just because he will want to find the Blood Refining Stele, to trace the reincarnation of his beloved…”

Yen Yileng frowned, “Then why do you still…”

Jing Hong smiled, beautiful and radiant.

“Maybe loving him is destined to be suffering, but without him…this life is destined for loneliness.”

“I’d rather suffer than be alone.”

“Yileng, someday when you love someone…you’ll understand there will always be one person for whom you would willingly endure life or death.”

Yen Yileng said nothing, and the two looked out together at the vast battlefield where the flames of war were rising.

“It’s raining.”

Indeed it started raining.

With rain, the ground became muddy, and both heaven and earth turned moist, cleansing the blood that had remains unknown for how many years….

The rain on the Outer Domain Battlefield was red because it turned red upon hitting the earth.

Yet someone arrived.

Both noticed amid the endless rain, someone was traversing through the sky, soon landing in front of the main tent of the Military Department…

Then slowly walked inside.
