The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4369 Heading to the Ancient Trees

Guan Yunlei has been in charge of guarding the ancient trees for nearly a year.

During this period, he never returned to the Great Xia Empire and never left. But now that Qin Yun returned to the imperial capital from the Cliff Palace, he met him here. Before the minister's order was revoked, the imperial capital was not the place for him to appear.

In response to Qin Yun's question, Guan Yunlei looked between the other two people, hesitated for a moment before answering: "Your Majesty, during the one year I have been stationed in the ancient tree group, I have defeated countless small sects. When some small and medium-sized sects came here, I also fought to the death and never retreated. But this time the opponent is too powerful... I have to retreat temporarily and give up the defense line."

After hearing this, Qin Yun frowned slightly and asked sternly: "What did I tell you at the beginning? Guard the towering ancient tree and don't let anyone get close. If there is any problem, report back to the imperial capital as soon as possible!" Guan Yunlei knew that he had failed in his duty and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take all the responsibility."

Qin Yun sighed, closed his eyes and calmed down briefly.

Seeing this, Gu Chuntang beside him hurried forward to explain: "Your Majesty, the invaders of the ancient trees this time have reached the early stage of the Gathering Immortal Realm, and possess the Great Dao of the Saint Realm. Their skills are mysterious and unheard of. If we insist on fighting, we are likely to lose most of our forces, or even be wiped out."

Guan Yunlei has been in good working order for a long time. If the enemy did not have absolutely overwhelming strength, he would not have withdrawn his troops.

Qin Yun knew this very well, but he was a little annoyed that the ancient tree defense line was let go. Fortunately, Gu Chuntang had good eyesight and gave Guan Yunlei a way out in time, which also allowed Qin Yun to stop caring about the matter.

Looking at Guan Yunlei who was kneeling on the ground, Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "What is the current situation of the battle in the ancient tree group? Have all the soldiers of Daxia withdrawn?"

Guan Yunlei replied, "I have already withdrawn my troops, but Xiao Jian led Mu Le and the White Tiger Army to go, and Xuanyuan Shenmeng and Dongfang Tianxiang have both gone to reinforce."

The ancient trees have always been the stronghold of the Great Xia Empire. How could Qin Yun let foreign enemies take them away so easily?

"Gu Chuntang." Qin Yun glanced at him and said, "Why are you waiting for me here? Is it also about the ancient trees?"

Gu Chuntang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Ding Yi who is stationed at the Phosphorus Fire Sect sent back a message saying that the cooling period of the Phosphorus Fire has mostly passed. I would like to ask Your Majesty to go there in person and try to sense the Phosphorus Fire and comprehend the method of taming beasts."

Hearing this, Qin Yun seemed to be thinking deeply. He had stayed in the Cliff Palace for three months just for the beast taming technique. If he could establish perception with the phosphorus fire, it would definitely be helpful to him.

But the key right now is to take back the ancient tree group position. Nothing can be compared with it.

"Tell Ding Yi that the Phosphorus Fire Sect's position cannot be lost, and the Phosphorus Fire cannot be taken away by others. Even if you die, you must defend the Phosphorus Fire Sect for me. There must not be any mistakes."

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

After Gu Chuntang left, Qin Yun looked at Emperor Qin who had remained silent.

When their eyes met, Emperor Qin took the initiative to speak: "Father, the battle is imminent. I, your son, have nothing to worry about. I will not delay your departure."

After saying this, Emperor Qin turned around and was about to leave, but Qin Yun waved his hand to stop him: "Come with me to the ancient trees. I will test whether you are qualified to take back the military power."

Emperor Qin was flattered and extremely excited, but he still suppressed his emotions and tried not to show them.

"Yes! Father! I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Being able to follow Qin Yun into battle is a rare opportunity, especially for the two princes who are currently relatively weak. For anyone who is lucky enough to go, it will be a baptism of his overall strength.

Qin Yun passed by the imperial capital without entering it. He told Guan Yunlei to return to the ancient trees after reorganizing, and then he and Emperor Qin went there first.

At the same time, the heavenly army set out and headed towards the group of ancient trees.

Through the teleportation formation, Qin Yun quickly arrived behind the ancient trees. Xiao Jian had a worried look on his face as he discussed with Dongfang Tianxiang how to attack. Xuanyuan Shenmeng listened quietly on the side, wondering if he could offer any suggestions.

The three of them were so lost in thought that they didn't even notice Qin Yun's appearance.

"A frontal attack is no longer feasible. The ancient trees can conceal their own aura. If the soldiers are attacked, even with the Star Sword defense, they will definitely be seriously injured, resulting in a reduction in manpower and weakened morale."

Xiao Jian said seriously, while Dongfang Tianxiang on the side shook his head and rejected it: "No, apart from a head-on attack, the enemy general will be able to discover your and my existence at the first time. With just the three of us, I am afraid we will not be able to compete with them. In the end, the soldiers will be in danger and it will be difficult for them to escape." After saying that, the two of them looked at Xuanyuan Shenmeng together, wanting to hear if she had any new insights.

However, Xuanyuan Shenmeng's gaze shifted and he stared straight behind him. When they turned around, they noticed Qin Yun's arrival.

"His Majesty!"

Xiao Jian and Dongfang Tianxiang exclaimed, "Your Majesty, aren't you in seclusion in the Cliff Palace? We have already told Xuan Yunzi not to disturb Your Majesty's cultivation, why can't he keep his cool?"

Qin Yun walked forward slowly and said calmly: "It was not Xuan Yunzi who reported it. I just happened to return to the imperial capital and received the news."

"It doesn't matter. No matter what, the ancient tree group position must be recaptured. Let me go and meet the invaders first. The Heavenly Army will assist me. You can launch an attack from the side."

Xiao Jian nodded rapidly, and then added: "Your Majesty, the other general's cultivation level is as high as the early stage of the Juxian Realm, and the skills he possesses are unheard of. The avenue of pressure is very strong, so please be careful."

After he finished speaking, Qin Yun winked at Emperor Qin behind him, signaling him to follow Xiao Jian's steps, and then went forward alone.

After entering the ancient trees, the mysterious atmosphere around was completely covered by the ancient trees. The surroundings were silent and even the sound of breathing seemed particularly harsh.

Qin Yun pointed directly at the towering ancient tree, the way of the emperor appeared, the inner diameter of the Divine Emperor Sutra burst out, and he used the innate supreme body to quickly get close with the strength of his physical body, as if he was in an empty space.

As he approached, a hidden arrow was shot from the northwest side. The energy it carried showed terrifying pressure, and its speed was only slightly slower than Qin Yun's.

Moreover, a dark purple light flashed on the tip of the dark arrow, swallowing the surrounding air and making the sharp arrow unaffected by any breath.

Qin Yun did not dodge or evade, but activated the Divine Emperor Sutra and blasted it towards him.

Two powerful energies collided, and after Emperor Tan dispersed the energy carried by the dark purple light above, Qin Yun suddenly stretched out his hand and actually grabbed the hidden arrow in his hand.

Without waiting for the other party to react, Qin Yun threw the arrow with all his strength, using his fist as a bow to return the hidden arrow.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, a wailing sound came from the dark jungle, and the breath was completely exposed. It was never imagined that Qin Yun's first reaction to the hidden arrow was not to dodge, but to return it all.

The opponent was caught off guard and was pierced by a hidden arrow, splashing blood.

Qin Yun flashed out following the breath and punched down, causing waves of energy from the avenue.
