Whale Falls and Becomes a God

Chapter 145 Many crises
"call……"

Yin Wan'er let out a long breath, smiling like a flower but with a look of grievance on her face, she replied:
"Prince Jingwu, you are too serious! How dare we, a commoner, do that? Besides, we have worked together quite happily before. How could we turn against each other and resort to violence?"

When these sixteen people appeared, they all stopped hundreds of meters away and remained silent. It was obvious that Yin Wan'er was the leader!
It can be imagined that Yin Wan'er, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect, indeed has a very high status and controls unimaginable terrifying power and strength!

"..."

Xiao Ying maintained a half-smile on his face and looked at Yin Wan'er quietly, as if signaling Yin Wan'er to continue making up stories to see whether he believed it or not!

Are they sending out such a luxurious and terrifying lineup just for a night out?

Or is it to protect Yin Wan'er, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Sect?

"Alright! I'll be honest and confess..."

Yin Wan'er feigned helplessness and grievance before quickly adding, "Our Saint Sect simply wishes to demonstrate its strength, nothing else! However, if we can't reach an agreement this time, then we'll handle the matter in a businesslike manner. When Prince Jingwu attacks the Chu army, we will fully assist and protect him..."

At this point, Yin Wan'er paused, then said helplessly, "This is one of the conditions for the King of Chu to cooperate with our Holy Sect. We have no choice but to do it! We don't want to be enemies with the King of Jingwu or the Sui army!"

"What's this? Acting everywhere, currying favor with everyone... Is this one of the main reasons why the Demon Sect is everywhere and can penetrate every corner?"

Xiao Ying roughly understood what Yin Wan'er meant and couldn't help but complain.

There is a reason why the Demon Sect is not favored and trusted. It has no position at all!

Saying that it is a matter of impartiality is not completely selfish?
Of course, Xiao Ying suspected that the Demon Sect had calculated correctly, using courtesy first and then force. Ultimately, Jingwu King Xiao Ying would definitely compromise and not impulsively insist on sniping or assaulting the Chu army. The Demon Sect wouldn't have to engage in a life-or-death battle with Jingwu King and his men, or wouldn't all their efforts have been in vain? This would be detrimental to both sides and completely unnecessary!

What Yin Wan'er explained is most likely true. These people are simply here to show off and demonstrate!
"Then it shall be so! I hope that the Demon Sect and the King of Chu can keep their promise. I hope that I can see Miss Yin and everyone else at the Hailing battlefield that is about to break out, and that the Chu army can stop and garrison here and not continue the march. Otherwise... all agreements will be void, and the next meeting will be a matter of life and death!"

After thinking it through, Xiao Ying didn't care about the Demon Sect's demonstration. He confirmed the agreement between the two parties again and took his men away.

"Miss Saint!"

After Xiao Ying and the others left, the people from the Demon Sect quickly came to Yin Wan'er. They seemed to address her respectfully, but in fact their attitude was casual!

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Demon Sect is disorganized and basically composed of egoists. They seem to be a bunch of loose sand and have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, etc. There is no trust between them at all.

In fact, the Demon Sect is more united than the righteous sect, and has strict rules. If there is any mistake, the punishment is extremely cruel. This is one of the fundamental reasons why the Demon Sect can stand for eternity and resist the righteous sect alone.

Yin Wan'er nodded indifferently with an expressionless face. She did not show any of the fawning and frivolous behavior she had shown in front of Xiao Ying. Instead, she was quite dignified, serious and noble.

Zuo Youxian, with his celestial bearing, watched Xiao Ying and the others walk away. He then looked Yin Wan'er up and down with his eyes shining, not concealing his naked desire, and spat casually:
"Is that Prince Jingwu? He doesn't look that impressive... He seems to be just a junior who has just entered the third rank. Are the rumors exaggerated?"

After saying this, the greedy look in his eyes subsided slightly, and he frowned and said, "It's the Dugu family's Phoenix that is truly worthy of its reputation. It's already at the peak of the second rank and may be promoted to the Supreme Celestial Being at any time!"

Yin Wan'er frowned, revealing an equally undisguised look of disgust. She said in a cold voice, "Then Uncle Zuo will be responsible for assassinating either King Jingwu or Wushuang Phoenix. You can choose either one! If you succeed, it will be the first merit of our Holy Sect. You will be the person in charge of Jiangnan and be ranked among the eight most powerful elders. Even if it means having me sleep with you, it's fine!"

"Haha... Junior Brother, you really know how to joke! Now that we are allies, how can we kill each other!"

Zuo Youxian's expression froze. He seemingly laughed heartily, then evaded the challenge with a dignified air. "Let's go! First, we'll respond to and warn the King of Chu, and then we'll rush to the Hailing battlefield. This is an agreement, and we must abide by it!"

Yin Wan'er glanced at Zuo Youxian with disdain and said in a cold voice, then she vanished away at a rapid speed like a wisp of smoke...

……

Although they had given up sniping the elite Chu army, Xiao Ying and others returned to Hailing at a very fast speed without any delay.

"Your Highness! Are we really giving up just like that? Will the King of Chu really listen to the Demon Sect and remain silent?"

As Rufeng hurried on his way, Dugu Feng still asked Xiao Ying with some confusion and reluctance.

"Until the arrival of King Wu (Du Fuwei) and the Jianghuai army, the King of Chu will probably hold his troops in place and not break the contract!"

Xiao Ying confidently replied without hesitation, then instructed the four maids, "Immediately report back to the court the intelligence about the major forces mentioned by Miss Yin, and demand that we strengthen our intelligence and increase our recruitment efforts!"

"Yes!" Qian He and others knew the seriousness of the matter and responded solemnly.

"Send a message to Madam Ronghua again, and deploy all forces. Our army will launch a full-scale attack on the Shangliang army tomorrow... no, at noon today, and strive to capture it as soon as possible!"

Xiao Ying gave another order while thinking seriously. Seeing that it was already midnight, he continued, "And inform Princess Fengming, General Hong, and Mr. Li (Li Baiyao) to speed up the march. They must arrive before noon, otherwise they will be severely punished!"

"Ok!"

"..."

Dugu Feng seemed to be straightforward and a little willful, but she was actually a kind-hearted person. She didn't need Xiao Ying to explain much. Just from hearing his instructions, she knew that her side was in crisis!
Now the world is watching the Hailing battlefield. Many forces from Jiangnan and Nanman have gathered here to decide who will be the overlord of Jiangnan.

However, not all forces will target Hailing City. At least the rebels led by the Yuwen family, as well as Daliang King Xiao Xin, Nanyue King Lin Shihong, and even the Lingnan Song family and Wagang Wei Gong, may attack Jiangdu at any time.

Currently, Jiangdu only had a few thousand strong and elite guards of the Empress, guards and servants of the aristocratic families and ministers, and 200,000 new soldiers. If attacked, it would be difficult to stop them, at least not the rebels with the main forces of Yuwen Chengdu and the Xiaoguo Army.

The only solution now is that the Sui army must end the battle of Hailing as soon as possible, or at least capture Hailing City first, and then allocate part of the army to return to Jiangdu to deter the rebels!
……

Xiandu Jiangdu, the forbidden palace deep in the palace!
"Transfer the original copies of this information to Qiling Temple!"

After receiving the message from Prince Jingwu, Empress Xiao's beautiful face turned gloomy. She gave instructions directly to Aunt Lan, the chief steward, and then warned:

"There's no need to conceal the source of the intelligence. It's the Demon Sect's sincerity that's being expressed. If it's the Qiling Temple... or the Buddhist sect, they're not sincere. This palace and the Sui army wouldn't mind finding more allies. Then, it won't be my fault or Prince Jingwu's!"

Jiangdu was in chaos, the Sui emperor passed away, and the surviving civil and military officials were basically traitors. The main force of the Xiaoguo Army left again.

By now, the Sui Dynasty had lost control and understanding of anything beyond Jiangdu. Even decrees were difficult to issue outside of Jiangdu, and those that did were ignored. Empress Xiao truly felt like a skilled cook without rice, especially since her intelligence organization had essentially collapsed, requiring her to rely even more heavily on the Qiling Temple and Buddhist monasteries.
