Return of the Ancient Gods

Chu Nan returned from training, Xia Chan and the old man had already done a series of things:

In order to deal with the Northern Yan crisis and to avenge his father, an elite force of 50 men was selected from the capital, and all of them were above the Shenzang realm.

"Well done, thank you for your hard work!" Looking at this mighty team, wearing armor and sharp weapons, with all of them wearing a white ribbon on their heads or shoulders, Chu Nan nodded with satisfaction and stood at the front of the team to mobilize for war:

"The traitor Chu Xiu colluded with Northern Yan to harm our Great Chu, causing the deaths of 15 innocent soldiers. Now he is gathering a large army with the intention of invading our Great Chu.

Now they still want to do the same as they did a hundred years ago. Tell me, can we agree to that?"

"No!" Everyone said in unison, their voices as loud as thunder.

"In the face of a powerful enemy, in order to protect our homeland from being invaded, to protect the lives of the people on this land from being bullied, and to demand blood from our enemies, we have no choice but to draw our swords and fight our enemies fearlessly.

If any of us are cowardly or unwilling to fight, I will not force you. I respect your wishes and you can put down your swords and turn away."

Chu Nan paused, and after a long while no one retreated, he smiled a little, and then said in a deep voice:

"Glory be with you! The enemy in this battle is fierce and fierce. We are likely to face a 100% chance of death, so before I go again, I will set three rules - if there are old, weak, young and unattended people in the family, stay; if there are only sons in the family, stay; if there are fathers, brothers and sons participating in the battle, leave one of them!"

After Chu Nan said this, many people below looked at each other, hesitant, and finally chose to leave reluctantly, letting others take his place.

The team changed about 20% to 30%. Many people insisted on joining the battle, but they were all rejected by Chu Nan.

"Your families still need you, so stay! If we die on the battlefield, you will be the last force to protect our homes and our loved ones. There will always be a time for you to shine, so don't worry!"

Chu Nan came down to inspect the area and found some surprises:

Ye Chengyun, the eldest son of the Ye family, one of the seven great families, is in the early stage of Tianxuan realm and is willing to be an ordinary soldier.

The Ye family is in the upper middle class among the seven great families and is not involved in power disputes, so their presence is not high. During the last fight with King Kang, they were the first to express their support for Chu Nan.

"Young Master Ye, this is a war and it is not a joke. People will die. You are not me. With such a noble status, there is no need for you to get involved..." Chu Nan persuaded him, believing that the other party wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to achieve merit and establish his career. It would be better to persuade him to retreat than to arrange someone to protect his safety.

"I don't understand what you mean, my lord!" Before Chu Nan could finish his words, Ye Chengyun refuted him harshly.

"I used to think that the plaque hanging high above my door was a shabby old thing, and I despised it and always wanted to replace it with a new and big one, which would be more prestigious. Now I understand that this is honor!

My ancestors fought bloody battles to bring peace and tranquility to this land. As their descendants, how can we live in mediocrity? Don't you want to give us even a chance to win glory for ourselves?"

"You have to think carefully about what you will face on the battlefield..." Chu Nan reminded again.

"There is no son of the Ye family here, only a warrior named Ye Chengyun! In the past, I was proud of the Ye family, and in the future, the Ye family will be proud of me." Ye Chengyun spoke loudly, winning the approval of many children from aristocratic families.

"What we shed is not blood, but glory; what we protect is our country, our loved ones, and eternal peace. We are willing to sacrifice our lives to bring peace to the world!"

Chu Nan said nothing.

After a long time, all preparations were ready. Chu Nan took the Emperor's Sword from the Emperor of Chu, looked at it carefully, drew out the sword and pointed it at the sky, giving orders to the three armies.

Soldiers from all three armies responded one after another, swords were drawn, and silver light shot up into the sky!

"March!" Chu Nan roared and ordered the army to march to the battlefield.

"We will surely conquer every attack and win every battle!" The old man was the first to respond, and then the entire army shouted in unison, turned around and walked away with confidence.

"Be careful and take care of yourself!" The army slowly moved forward, and Chu Nan did not forget to comfort Xia Chan.

This time, Xia Chan and Qiu Lu also went, but they were not heading in the same direction as Chu Nan. Instead, they followed the old man and Mr. Xu and the others.

The time was almost up. Chu Nan and Xue'er rode together on one horse. The army marched toward the battlefield in a mighty force. After they left the west city gate, they were divided into three parts.

The team led by Chu Nan to Xuancheng in the northwest consisted of no more than 30,000 people, riding on horseback.

The farewell procession was filled with sadness, reluctance and passion. It took a long time for the farewell procession to calm down. Somewhere in the capital, someone had different thoughts:

"Keep a close eye on them. Report to me immediately once you confirm that the three armies have left Beijing!" In a loft, Qin Zhengqing stared at the retreating army. To be cautious, he arranged for someone to follow them, muttering:

"The King of Chu is so stupid and incompetent that he dares to send out all the powerful men in the Void God Realm. Haha, now is the best time!

There are no confidants in the capital. I have already informed King Kang's people that they will not interfere with our actions. The rise of my Qin family is just around the corner!"

"Elder, isn't it too risky for us to do this? We should at least report it to the head of the family. If the action fails, it will be a serious crime of treason!" A member of the Qin family suggested.

Although he was Qin Zhengqing's confidant and had been loyal to him for many years, the impact now was too great for him not to raise a question, and this was the only time.

"Are you doubting my judgment? I will prove that I am right through this battle. If the Qin family continues to be led by that incompetent person, we will be stuck in the quagmire and unable to extricate ourselves before our opponents even have time to make a move." Qin Zhengqing immediately showed his displeasure, made an impassioned speech, turned around and faced the Qin family member, with a murderous gleam in the corners of his eyes.

The Qin family member was silent, unable to refute for a moment, and wanted to retreat, but unexpectedly, Qin Zhengqing broke his neck.

"You want to go back and tell on me? How can I let you ruin my Qin family's plan to rise?"

"..."

As dusk approached, the team led by Chu Nan and others had left the capital for several hours. When the news came back, Qin Zhengqing, who had been anxiously waiting for a long time, was cheered up and shouted:

"Get started! Success or failure depends on today!"
