Today, Liangzhou City is exceptionally lively. A careful observer would notice smiles on almost everyone's faces, a stark contrast to their former dejection.

The reason for this?

Naturally, it's the constant stream of triumphant news from the grasslands, accompanied by herds of cattle and sheep, and large numbers of barbarian prisoners.

These are all spoils of war from the Northern Expedition, and the people share in the glory!

The people of Liangzhou and Youzhou suffered immensely under the Northern Barbarians. Now, their joy is proportional to that suffering. Almost everyone in Liangzhou City has experienced that oppression.

Once the city fell, no one, young or old, would be spared.

If Regent Chen Yuan hadn't fought to the death to save Liangzhou City, they would all be dead. Even so, every household in Liangzhou City still displayed white mourning cloths.

Now, the offensive and defensive positions have been reversed, and they are finally getting their revenge!

Pity?

The war is not long past, and their hearts are filled with hatred. Some radicals even pick up stones and rotten vegetables, throwing them at the barbarian soldiers in tattered armor.

"Smash them to death!"

"Smash these sons of bitches!"

"Kill them!!!"

"Kill them!"

The shouts echoed incessantly.

.....

In a two-story teahouse, a young man with an exotic appearance was watching the commotion below with great interest, his eyes with a faint yellow tint.

A closer look reveals slight differences from the people of the Central Plains.

As for his identity,

He is none other than the Blazing Heaven Demon Emperor!

Having been detected as being off by Wang Ping in Ping'an County, who reported it to the Jinyiwei of Nanling Prefecture, he did not stay any longer. Moreover, he didn't want to expose his identity by provoking them.

To him, humans below the sixth realm were mere ants. He couldn't even muster a trace of anger. His target, from beginning to end, was Regent Chen Yuan of the human race.

Unfortunately, for months, he had been unable to find any trace of Chen Yuan, and could only wander around the Central Plains, experiencing the lives of ordinary human mortals.

Comparatively speaking, the demon race truly lived a crude and barbaric life.

After learning of Chen Yuan's Northern Expedition, he quickly followed, only to arrive and find that the army had already set off and penetrated deep into the grasslands.

To be honest, he couldn't quite figure out Chen Yuan.

To completely disregard the demon race was audacious and confident, especially with the signs of a major war in the Southern Border.

It piqued his curiosity.

He wanted to see this man for himself.

However, he did not venture deep into the grasslands to track Chen Yuan's footsteps. In his view, Chen Yuan's mere Earthly Immortal realm strength was easily crushed with a wave of his hand.

It was better to use this man as a knife to harvest the Northern Barbarian grasslands, eliminating all resistance.

When he finally acted, it would save him a great deal of effort.

As for Chen Yuan, the day he returned in triumph would be the day of his downfall. Having completed his mission, there would be no further use for him in this world.

Unless....

He was willing to submit to him, offering up the Central Plains.

However, even he considered this possibility to be remote. Of course, he didn't care.

"Good, smash them good!"

The Blazing Heaven Demon Emperor laughed loudly, as if truly integrated into Liangzhou City.

......

......

The reaction caused by Chen Yuan's Northern Expedition was significant. Perhaps it was because he struck first, or perhaps it was because he had finally revealed himself. In short, besides the Western Regions,

Both the Southern Border and Dongying (Japan) had problems.

According to Su Ziyue, the news from Dongying was first relayed by the Heavenly Demon Hall. The origin was Chen Yuan's promise that the Heavenly Demon Hall would guard Dongying in the future.

The people of the Heavenly Demon Hall were naturally very eager. Not long ago, they sent an elite force, led by the Demon Venerable, to establish a foothold, with other experts from the Heavenly Demon Hall gradually landing on the island.

As a result....

Unexpectedly, there was an extremely terrifying expert in Dongying who suppressed and killed all the people sent by the Heavenly Demon Hall, leaving only one survivor to deliver a message, telling the strong of the Central Plains to wait for death.

Dongfang Sheng did not know how powerful that expert was, but since he dared to utter such bold words knowing that the Dongying Immortal had fallen in the Central Plains, he must also be a sixth-realm Immortal-level figure.

Without hesitation, he reported it to Su Ziyue.

However, the news was temporarily suppressed by Chen Yuan. Dongying was a minor threat. He could easily eliminate it after solving the Northern Barbarian problem. The real major threat was the Southern Border demon race.

After the news of his Northern Expedition spread, the Southern Border began to move, with several disturbances, and had even engaged in several skirmishes outside Zhennan Pass, with no clear victory.

According to Chu Changfeng's message, it could basically be inferred that the demon race in the Southern Border had almost exhausted their forces this time, making it even more terrifying than the previous battle of Zhennan Pass.

Several Demon Gods were suppressing the formation, and the Demon God Hall revealed a decisive attitude, causing Zhennan Pass to feel great pressure. Chu Changfeng couldn't help but ask for help, asking when Chen Yuan could return.

If a real war broke out, his confidence would still be a little lacking.

Chen Yuan told him to hold on as much as possible.

With Moro and Su Ming Ancestor, they could also ask the two from Wudi City for help if necessary. If it really came to a head-on confrontation, the strength of the demon race would not be that terrifying.

In fact, Chen Yuan didn't want to end the battle as soon as possible, but he had secretly searched for Huangji's trace, but could not find him, so he could only give up temporarily.

He switched to a strategy of encirclement and interception, trapping the elite forces of the three great royal courts.

He could have acted long ago, but he had been waiting for Huangji.

Otherwise, if he really annihilated the three great royal courts, but Huangji would no longer appear, then his trip would be a huge loss. He was still counting on devouring the destiny on his body.

To cultivate to the peak of the Human Immortal level.

Inside the main tent of the three armies, Chen Yuan sat high in the chief seat, his eyes calmly scanning the memorials below. Although he did not manage the specific affairs, he still needed to know what he should know.

After all, he was the real commander of the three armies.

In name, he was in charge of all the armies.

After the Northern Expeditionary Army penetrated deep into the grasslands, Chen Yuan had not shown himself again. He had been practicing in the mobile tent, lying dormant, waiting for Huangji to take the initiative to attack.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find Huangji, and Huangji didn't mean to attack him in secret.

It should be known that an Earthly Immortal could turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand. He alone was enough to plunge hundreds of thousands of troops into disaster. However, he would also suffer a lot of karmic backlash.

This greatly hindered the comprehension of the rules.

Huangji's forbearance also made Chen Yuan very disappointed. He had even prepared for Huangji to hide. If that was the case, he would quickly go to the Southern Border after the war.

He will take away the destiny from the Demon Emperor Mo Ying.

"Hoo..."

A breeze blew through, and without being notified, the figure of Sword God Jiang He quickly condensed in the tent.

"Have you finished comprehending the spirit tablet?"

Chen Yuan closed the memorial in his hand, raised his head and asked with a smile.

"It's already broken." Jiang He nodded, sat down beside Chen Yuan without hesitation, picked up the wine pot at hand, took a sip, not bold, but very handsome.

He looked more like an immortal than Chen Yuan, a real immortal.

In front of outsiders, he was Chen Yuan's number one confidant. In order to maintain Chen Yuan's dignity, he adhered to the duties of a minister. But in private, it would be estranged.

Chen Yuan didn't want to lose his few friends.

Compared with the others gradually distancing themselves, Jiang He was the closest among his current friends.

Before becoming an immortal, Jiang He protected him.

After becoming an immortal, Chen Yuan repaid him with favors.

"How is your cultivation going?" Chen Yuan picked up another wine pot, raised it and held it up.

"It's still a little short, but I feel like it's coming soon." Jiang He shook his head, his eyes thoughtful. The things Chen Yuan gave him were definitely treasures, and the speed of comprehending the rules was much faster than before.

But still not enough.

"The rules are between heaven and earth. You can't rush it. Just let it be." Chen Yuan smiled. He believed that with Jiang He's talent and understanding, becoming an immortal was only a matter of time.

If he didn't have the Destiny Altar to help him, he might not be able to compare to Jiang He.

"I'm just a little worried about the future." Jiang He pointed to the void. He was one of the few people who knew about the pressure from the Immortal Realm. The others only knew a vague idea.

They even only understood that there had been an inexplicable battle. Only he was clear that there were less than ten years left before the real catastrophe of the human world would come.

With the strength of the Immortal Realm, they could definitely push the human world horizontally.

He knew that Chen Yuan was powerful, but he also wanted to help him a few times and stop a few immortals.

"There must be a way when the time comes. I'll be in front of you. Don't worry." Although Chen Yuan was also under pressure, it was really not as great as Moro, Jiang He and the others.

With the Destiny Altar in hand, as long as he could get enough destiny, he could completely cultivate his cultivation to the peak within a few short years.

It was not impossible to push the Immortal Realm horizontally.

"Let's do it together. When I become an immortal, I can find a way to upgrade the Immortal Slaying Sword to the level of an immortal sword. Plus the Immortal Slaughtering Sword of Mount Shu, and the Blood Sword of the Seven Killing Hall.

If we find another immortal sword, we can form a real great formation that can slay immortals. Maybe we can try to resist an immortal." Jiang He suddenly smiled.

"Are you really courting death?"

Even if Jiang He could break through the sixth realm, he probably wouldn't reach the middle stage of the Human Immortal in ten years. It was almost suicide to rely on four immortal swords to form a formation to stop the Earthly Immortal.

"What's the point of living if heaven and earth are gone?"

Chen Yuan stared at Jiang He for a moment and sneered:

"Okay, since you have this idea, I won't stop you, but..."

"But what?"

"My body is sanctified and it's hard to die. If you really die, I'll take care of your wife and children. It won't be in vain for our brotherhood."

"Jiang He: ".....""

He stared at Chen Yuan for a moment and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it, so he couldn't help but say:

"Get lost, I won't die!"

Chen Yuan's style of doing things was known to everyone in the world. As a good brother, he certainly knew it too. Although it wasn't as terrifying as the rumors, he was definitely not a gentleman.

"Remember this sentence. If you really die, I'll help you take care of your sister-in-law." Chen Yuan smiled.

"Can you wish me well?"

"Of course I wish you well, but you have a bit of a desperate attitude, so you can't blame me."

"You are also the current Regent, the future Emperor of Great Yan, and the Human Emperor of the human race. Can you be more serious?"

"I'm just telling you that in the previous battle, the Immortal Realm didn't kill me and gave me ten years. Then, after ten years, it will be their death date.

Don't think about risking your life at every turn. Think about your family and give your old Jiang family a descendant."

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

He didn't know the price of Jiang He's formation before, but now that he knew it, he couldn't stand by and watch. He really didn't want to see this kid die.

Come on a tragic moment.

Too vulgar!

"You have the nerve to talk about me. You, the dignified Regent, don't have any children." Jiang He kept drinking and glanced at Chen Yuan.

"It's just that the time isn't right for me. After I destroy the Immortal Realm, how many do I want to have?" Chen Yuan scoffed.

Although it is indeed difficult to have children with a sanctified body, there are countless mysterious methods in the world, and it is not without a chance.

"Okay, okay, everything you say is right." Jiang He let out a long breath.

"Hehe..."

......

"Old Jiang."

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment and suddenly said.

"Um?"

Jiang He put down his wine pot and stared at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at him carefully, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became a little depressing. He looked at the other person word by word and said:

"Why are you so girly when you drink?"

Jiang He was suffocated for a long time and couldn't help but say:

"Don't you understand what a sword immortal is?"

......

......

"Regent."

Deputy Commander Chen Huaiyi walked into the tent with some joy on his face.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yuan raised his head to look.

Chen Huaiyi took out a piece of jade in his hand and said:

"The Northern Barbarian royal court sent a message, and the envoy specifically brought this thing, saying that he wanted you to watch it in person.

"Want me to watch it in person?"

"It is said that it is something that the Heavenly Khan Huangji gave you."

"Has he finally appeared?"

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Jiang He on the side also perked up. They all knew that Chen Yuan's goal was Huangji, otherwise he would have already attacked the royal court.

With a wave of his hand, the jade floated in the void. Then, a majestic middle-aged man's voice sounded:

"Regent, don't you want to avenge yourself on this Khan? Three days later, this Khan will fight you to completely resolve this conflict. The winner will be king, and the loser will be a bandit!"

After the voice fell, the jade turned into dust and disappeared into the heaven and earth.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth.

He is in a hurry to die, very good!

"How is it?"

Chen Huaiyi said solemnly.

"Since he wants to fight, then do as he wishes. Pass the order down to recall all the elite troops that have been deployed. Three days later, we will wipe out the Northern Barbarians in one fell swoop. This time....

This king will make them unable to raise their heads for thousands of years!"

Chen Yuan raised his head and said in a deep voice.

"Okay!"

Chen Huaiyi nodded and walked out of the tent with a solemn expression. He began to quickly summon all the generals to prepare for the great decisive battle three days later.

Jiang He: "This guy finally couldn't hold back."

"After all, he is the Heavenly Khan, so he has to have some responsibility. He is a man, but unfortunately.... he has to be my enemy." Chen Yuan said lightly.
