The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"White Horse Mountain, what a wonderful place!"

"A good place to set up an ambush."

"This place is the quasi-capital region, second only to the Three Capital Regions."

"When our capital garrison returned to the capital from Qingzhou, their vigilance was at its lowest when they passed through this area."

"If you were a member of the Yellow Heaven Cult, wouldn't you have set up an ambush here?"

Zhao Wuyang said with a look of emotion.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he said with a solemn look, "General, Yanzhou shouldn't fall into the hands of the Yellow Heaven Sect, right?"

If the Yellow Heaven Sect wants to set up an ambush at White Horse Mountain, it means that, not to mention the entire Yanzhou, at least Dongjun is already under Yanzhou's control.

Dongjun is close to Hanoi, and if Dongjun falls into the hands of the Yellow Heaven Sect...

That would mean that the Yellow Heaven Sect could now march its troops into Hanoi County, directly threatening the capital region of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and even the vital capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Unbeknownst to them, the 300,000-strong Beijing garrison army slowed down and came to a stop.

“But Yanzhou is already under the control of the Yellow Heaven Sect.”

"Am I right?"

Zhao Wuyang sighed and said.

"General Zhao truly lives up to his reputation as the Grand General of the Capital Garrison of the Great Zhou Dynasty; he was able to discover that I had set up an ambush here."

A voice rang out from the dense forest.

Then, countless figures appeared in the surrounding mountains and forests, surrounding the 300,000-strong army of the Beijing garrison.

A young man dressed in the official robes of a magistrate emerged from the mountains and forests, followed by Liang Yuanqing, the governor of Yanzhou, Luo Wenzhao, the elder of the Huangtian Sect, more than ten elders of the Huangtian Sect, and nine sect experts.

Apart from Liang Yuanqing, the governor of Yanzhou, who was at the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm, all the others had stepped into the Human Immortal Realm.

"Ye Wuhen, one of the three holy sons of the Yellow Heaven Sect!"

Zhao Wuyang looked calmly at Ye Wuhen, the Prefect of Yanzhou, and said.

Xie Xuan, who was unaware of the possible ambush at White Horse Mountain, showed no surprise after Ye Wuhen appeared.

Clearly, he was just rehearsing with Zhao Wuyang.

Moreover, it wasn't just him and Zhao Wuyang who knew about the ambush.

In fact, the entire Beijing garrison already knew.

This can be seen from the fact that the Beijing garrison army slowed down without anyone noticing, and eventually the entire army stopped without orders.

"General Zhao actually knows my identity?"

Ye Wuhen looked at Zhao Wuyang with a surprised expression.

"Why wouldn't I know? Is it possible that I actually already knew?"

"I was just afraid you would run away, so I pretended not to know."

Zhao Wuyang looked at Ye Wuhen with a playful expression on his lips and said.

"Jinyiwei?"

Ye Wuhen raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhao Wuyang, asking a question.

Zhao Wuyang smiled without saying a word.

"General Zhao is probably too confident!"

"Even if Chu Xiu came in person, General Zhao would not be able to leave here alive."

“If General Zhao is willing to surrender with 300,000 troops of the Beijing Garrison, I can guarantee that General Zhao will be able to command these 300,000 troops.”

"Become the number one general of our Yellow Heaven Sect!"

Ye Wuhen said with a sincere expression.

"What if the Imperial Advisor comes?"

Zhao Wuyang smiled gently and said.

"Qi Tianchen?"

Ye Wuhen's eyes narrowed, and his expression turned serious.

Liang Yuanqing and the others' expressions changed drastically, revealing expressions of shock.

Even Luo Wenzhao, the protector elder of the Yellow Heaven Sect, had an extremely solemn expression.

Who is Qi Tianchen?

The number one expert in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

At least on the surface, Qi Tianchen is undoubtedly the number one person in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

With the cultivation level of Earth Immortal Realm, one is already capable of defeating Heaven Immortal Realm cultivators.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, anyone with a certain status or whose cultivation level had reached a certain point would know about it.

"withdraw!"

Ye Wuhen said something, and then he vanished from the spot, as if he had merged into the shadows.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuanqing shouted loudly, "Retreat!"

He shouted this at the 50,000 soldiers of the prefecture.

The 50,000 soldiers of Yanzhou quickly retreated from all sides.

Zhao Wuyang had no intention of pursuing the retreat of the 50,000 soldiers from Yanzhou.

One after another, figures took to the air and fled in all directions.

These figures were none other than Luo Wenzhao and the others behind Ye Wuhen.

hum!

Suddenly!

A buzzing sound resounded from heaven and earth!

A long sword descended from the sky.

This longsword unleashed a terrifying sword aura, which was none other than the God-Slaying, Saint-Killing, Immortal-Slaying Sword!

As this sword energy struck, the entire world seemed to be split in two.

One by one, the figures shattered!

These figures were none other than Liang Yuanqing and his companions.

Even the Yellow Heaven Sect's guardian elders, who were at the Earth Immortal level, had no power to resist this sword strike.

Only one person managed to escape.

That was Ye Wuhen, who had fled from the very beginning.

As one of the top three holy sons of the Yellow Heaven Sect, Ye Wuhen has not only mastered one of the nine great arts of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

The strength he just displayed clearly indicates that he has cultivated the "Shadowless Word Technique" and the "Instant Shadow Technique".

As for what other unique skills Ye Wuhen, the second holy son of the Yellow Heaven Sect after Dongfang Xuanxiao, learned, that remains unknown.

However, the Shadowless Technique has the characteristic of being as elusive as a phantom, leaving no trace, while the Instant Shadow Technique achieves extreme speed, as swift as a fleeting shadow.

With the combination of these two factors, Ye Wuhen's ability to survive has reached an incredibly terrifying level.

Swish!

Qi Tianchen landed in front of Zhao Wuyang and Xie Xuan's Dragon Blood Horse.

"Greetings, Imperial Preceptor!"

Zhao Wuyang and Xie Xuan dismounted and bowed respectfully to Qi Tianchen.

"Generals, there's no need for such formalities."

Qi Tianchen waved his hand and said calmly.

"Thank you, Imperial Advisor."

Zhao Wuyang thanked him, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Grand Preceptor, is Ye Wuhen still here?"

Xie Xuan also stared intently at Qi Tianchen, wanting to know whether Ye Wuhen was truly dead or not.

"No."

"I only wounded him with one sword, but I did not kill him."

"However, this person is no longer a threat."

"It will take him several years to recover from this injury."

"His current strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be; he's probably only at the peak of the ninth level of the Celestial Realm."

"The reason I kept him is so that he can scare Xiao Zhenting."

Qi Tianchen smiled slightly and said.

"To scare Xiao Zhenting?"

Zhao Wuyang was stunned for a moment, looking at Qi Tianchen with a look of astonishment.

"I left a sword aura on Ye Wuhen's body."

Qi Tianchen stood with his hands behind his back and said casually.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuyang knew that this sword energy was definitely not as simple as Qi Tianchen had described.

Is he going to have a showdown with Xiao Zhenting from afar?

Want to test Xiao Zhenting's strength?

"General Zhao, the Yellow Heaven Sect in Yanzhou no longer has any experts."

"Next, you will be in charge of reclaiming Yanzhou and taking control of the region."

"General Zhao does not need to return to the capital."

"The remaining 200,000 troops of the Beijing Garrison are already on their way to Yanzhou."

"With 500,000 troops from the capital garrison, General Zhao has more than enough to hold Yanzhou!"

Qi Tianchen pondered for a moment, then spoke to Zhao Wuyang.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys!"

Zhao Wuyang bowed respectfully.

"Alright, I still need to go to Jingzhou to meet with Dongfang Xuanxiao, the Great Saint of the Yellow Heaven Sect."

Qi Tianchen looked towards the direction of Jingzhou City and said indifferently, "Yanzhou is now in your hands!"

He left those words behind and then vanished from Zhao Wuyang and the others' sight.

"Respectfully seeing off the Imperial Preceptor."

Seeing Qi Tianchen leave, Zhao Wuyang and the generals of the Beijing Garrison respectfully called out.
