Call of the Heroes of Chaos in Another World

Chapter 2610 Qian Po Jing County, Lake Knight

Wang Yu then gestured for Wang Yuan to open the ebony sword box. Inside the box was an ancient-style longsword with a sheath. The sheath was dark gold with unique cloud and thunder patterns, and the hilt was wrapped in old leather.

Although it was not drawn, it exuded a chilling and sharp aura, quite different from the fiery Qilin Spear, making it seem even more profound and unfathomable.

"This sword is named the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. It came into the hands of our great Han Dynasty when Amaterasu, the envoy of the Kingdom of the Sun, entered Han. It is said to be one of the three sacred treasures of the Kingdom of the Sun and one of the tokens of the royal family of the Kingdom of the Sun. It is quite supernatural."

"The sword is the king of all weapons, responsible for making decisions and concealing its sharpness. I bestow it upon you as well, hoping that you will be both strong and gentle, wise and brave."

After Wang Yu obtained this sword, he never used it and kept it in his treasure vault as a collectible.

For him, this sword was only of value as a collectible.

After all, Wang Yu already owns Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, and Ganjiang, the ten most famous swords. Even if he wanted to use one, this sword wouldn't be his turn.

As for Mo Xie, after Bi Xiuxin gave birth to twins (a boy and a girl) at the beginning of the year and was conferred the title of Zhaoyi and entered the palace, he casually bestowed this sword upon her.

As for Xuanyuan Huang's weapons and warhorse, Wang Yu only took the Xuanyuan Sword, while returning the spear and horse to Xuanyuan Xuanxiao as a sign of leniency.

"Your subject... will certainly work diligently to repay the Emperor's grace!"

The young man straightened his back, took the long box and sword case handed to him by the eunuch with both hands, felt the heavy weight, and his eyes shone with an unprecedented light.

Once his figure disappeared, the gentle, expectant look on Wang Yu's face slowly faded, and he regained his emperor-like composure.

He didn't summon any ordinary eunuchs, but simply said to the empty corner of the study, "Come out."

The air seemed to distort slightly, and two figures appeared silently, like ink wash paintings, landing without a sound.

The man was tall and thin, dressed in an inconspicuous dark gray cloth robe. His face was ordinary, but his eyes seemed to hold the power of wind and clouds, deep and unfathomable. He was none other than Kunpeng, a peak expert of the Celestial Realm.

The other person was an old man dressed as a bald monk, wearing an old kasaya and holding a string of ebony prayer beads. He was a master in the early stage of the Celestial Realm, Zhen Chan.

"You both heard what happened just now." As Wang Yu's gaze swept over the two men, he reached out to stop them from bowing.

No expert at the Celestial Realm, not even Zhunti, would want to appear with Kunpeng.

After all, if another celestial being bowed deeply to the emperor, could the others still maintain their airs?
The worst thing about anything is comparison.

"The Crown Prince will accompany the army to Qi. Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the Tiger Guard will be there in the open, but I am still not at ease. You two will be to remain hidden and accompany him for protection from this day forward."

"Unless the prince's life is in danger, you must not show yourselves or interfere in military affairs. Your only task is to ensure the prince's safety and safe return."

Kunpeng replied in a deep voice, “Your Majesty, rest assured, with us here, ordinary villains will not be able to harm His Highness in the slightest.”

Zhen Chan also put his hands together, gently turned his prayer beads, and spoke in a calm and even voice.

“Protecting the Dharma in the mortal world is also a form of spiritual practice; this old monk understands.”

Wang Yu nodded and said, "That's good. This trip may be fraught with difficulties. Qi is newly annexed and there are many undercurrents. Da Qian may also make moves. I entrust Yuan'er's safety to you two."

"Furthermore, the Yin-Yang School's influence in the Qian region is rapidly expanding. Kunpeng, you can do some work there appropriately," Wang Yu instructed, looking at Kunpeng. Choosing Kunpeng, a peak Celestial Realm expert, to accompany and protect Wang Yuan served both as a guard and, given his special status, as a way to have him do some things in the Great Qian.

Originally, the Yin-Yang School's sphere of influence was not in the Qian region, but in the Xia and Wei regions of the original seven great dynasties.

However, in the past few years, with the cooperation between Donghuang Taiyi and the Daqian royal family, the power of the Yin-Yang School has begun to develop rapidly in Daqian.

Any religious sect, once it has the support of the imperial court, will develop rapidly in the local area.

Since Kunpeng has already pledged allegiance to the Yin-Yang School of the Han Dynasty, let's just let him go and poach talent directly. As long as he makes Kunpeng the legitimate successor of the Yin-Yang School, what does all that previous trouble with Kunpeng matter? The ones who are wrong are Donghuang Taiyi's faction.

At that time, other factions of the Yin-Yang School will naturally gradually gravitate towards them.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly not fail Your Majesty's trust." Kunpeng said with a hint of joy on his face after hearing the emperor's instructions.

No one was more enthusiastic than him about causing trouble for the Yin-Yang School.

After hiding for decades, he had been harboring countless grievances. Now that he finally had a powerful backer, he was determined to make his move.

Otherwise, Kunpeng wouldn't have taken the initiative to establish the Yin-Yang School again in the Han Dynasty. What he was interested in was not establishing the Yin-Yang School's doctrine, but rather using it to challenge the existing Yin-Yang School's power.

………………

Qi region.

With the demise of Xuanxiao, Ji Chengfu has become increasingly unrestrained, shifting from a cautious, step-by-step approach to a more ferocious offensive.

On Jiang Ziya's side, after conquering Xuan, the army that was sent to conquer Xuan did not head north, but instead stationed itself in Xuan territory.

The Great Qian Dynasty has more than just this few troops. The reason it doesn't want to mobilize more troops is simply to preserve some strength for the great battle next year.

Xuandi is located at the southernmost part of Daqian, while Qidi is located at the northeasternmost part. One is at the southernmost point and the other at the northernmost point. Rather than sending the army to attack Xuandi northward, they would rather draw troops from other routes, especially those routes close to Qidi.

In a short time, the situation on Tian Qi's side became increasingly difficult.

In particular, although not a single soldier of the troops that attacked Xuan went north, some of their strong generals began to move towards the northeast.

In contrast, although Tian Qi was a wealthy state, its territory was ultimately too small. After suffering setbacks on the southern front and losing half of its southern route, it now only had Xingbei Road left.

The only strong general was decisively and swiftly killed by Jiang Chen after he exploited an information gap.

Although Wu Qi brought Zhu Quan to provide support, Zhu Quan was also overwhelmed. Although he was able to defeat Jiang Chen, that was all he could do, and he was unable to attend to other matters.

However, for Tian Qi's side, the most dangerous place was still not Tian Ji's western front, but Tian Pan's southern front.

From the perspective of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is clear that breaking through from the south is easier than from the west.

Based on this, after the Great Qian destroyed the Xuan, most of the reinforcements that came from the south were placed there, not in the west.

After a month of relentless attacks by Yao Xiong, Jing County, a key town in the southern part of Xingbei Road, was also in imminent danger.
