Outside the chariot, Qin Yuan stood tall like a pine, knelt on one knee, cupped his fist, and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Your Highness, we have achieved a great victory in this battle, annihilating over 1,200 enemies, and our elite soldiers are unharmed!"
Inside the carriage, Ye Xuan's mouth slightly curved upwards upon hearing the results of the battle, and his voice came through the curtain, "Good! General Qin is brave and skilled in battle. Immediately lead the troops and directly attack You City!"
"Your subordinate obeys!" Qin Yuan stood up after receiving the order, mounted his horse, and the Green Scale Blood Horse neighed repeatedly, its hooves digging into the yellow sand.
Qin Yuan swung his long spear, and cold light flashed. He shouted loudly, "The entire army, heed my command, advance!"
In an instant, the sound of horse hooves was like thunder, and amidst the rolling dust, the army surged towards You City like a black torrent. Ye Xuan's carriage was hidden among them, quietly following.
Inside the carriage, Wei Zhongxian's body was hunched, but his eyes were sinister. He whispered to Ye Xuan, detailing the situation in You Province, "Your Highness, this You Province is deeply entrenched, with six major forces mutually restraining each other..."
Ye Xuan let out a light laugh, his eyes revealing a cold glint, "Hmph, six major forces?"
This time, Ye Xuan wanted to solve all problems once and for all.
Since he had set foot in You Province, the only king on this land could only be him—the future You Wang!
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes. He gently waved his hand, signaling Wei Zhongxian to withdraw.
"With the assistance of the Immortal Body and the cultivation of divine techniques, the speed of my cultivation growth is indeed beyond imagination!"
Ye Xuan murmured to himself,
Immediately after, the Aura around his body suddenly surged, vast and turbulent. His Heavenly Human power was like a materialized vortex, frantically absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, a sign of the Peak of the Heavenly Human Realm completion.
In just one month, his cultivation had undergone a qualitative leap. Such progress, even during the period when he once possessed an Emperor-level Physique, was an unimaginable improvement.
Of course, the most urgent task now was to use the power of heaven and earth to condense the Heavenly Soul. Once successful, he would be able to step into the Heavenly King Realm.
...
Inside the City Lord's Mansion of You City, Jin You was busy planning matters related to the Secret Realm in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. Suddenly, a Lingdan Realm guard captain burst in frantically, interrupting Jin You's contemplation.
"General, something is wrong!
Jin You's brows immediately furrowed, and the powerful pressure of the Spiritual Infant stage was instantly released. The guard captain fell to his knees with a "thump."
"Look at your rash appearance, what kind of decorum is that!" Jin You reprimanded.
The guard captain suppressed his inner fear and said with a slight tremor in his voice, "General, our You City has been surrounded by an army of ten thousand! The army's Aura is extremely terrifying. Your subordinate could feel the chilling military might from atop the city wall, and the leader is also a Spiritual Infant expert!"
"Ten thousand soldiers, plus a Spiritual Infant expert?" Jin You whispered softly, and then killing intent permeated his body, "Hmph, merely a Spiritual Infant and ten thousand soldiers dare to challenge me, they are simply seeking death!"
In this You Province, Jin You had ruled for decades, and no one had ever dared to openly challenge his authority like this. This time, he must kill one to warn a hundred and establish his supreme authority.
"Pass down the order, gather all the You Province Army within the city. General Zhang will personally lead the charge and leave not a single invading enemy alive." Cold light flickered in Jin You's eyes.
"Yes, General!" The guard captain felt the strong killing intent and couldn't help but shiver. He quickly responded and then prepared to go out and execute the order.
"Wait," Jin You's eyes rolled, and he added, "Also have the heads of those major families in the city come over. This is a good Opportunity to give them a warning."
"Yes!!!" The guard captain did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. He hurried away after receiving the order, and the hall immediately fell into dead silence. Only the killing intent emanating from Jin You became increasingly intense.
...
"Is this You City?" Ye Xuan slightly narrowed his eyes, standing quietly atop the carriage. The gentle breeze brushed against his sleeves, causing them to rustle.
Ximen Chuixue's white clothes were whiter than snow, and his expression was cold and stern. Wei Zhongxian humbly bowed his back. Both stood respectfully behind him with their hands hanging down.
Ye Xuan's gaze was distant as he slowly swept over the slightly dilapidated city before him, letting out a light sigh, "Compared to the prosperous and flourishing Night City, this place indeed seems a bit desolate. The scale and atmosphere are far different. Of course, how can a small state city be compared to the majestic grandeur of the Imperial City!"
However, immediately after, a confident smile curved Ye Xuan's lips, "However, none of this is a problem. I believe that under my rule, making You City surpass Night City is only a matter of time!"
At this moment, on the city wall of You City, figures were bustling. Dense crowds of fully armed soldiers stood with spears like a forest, their cold points glinting. Each one had a solemn expression, as if facing a formidable enemy.
And at the very front of these soldiers, Jin You was clad in dark black armor, appearing majestic and imposing. Beside him were not only dozens of Lingdan deputy generals with extraordinary strength but also the heads of the four major families in the city.
Jin You's gaze swept from the city wall over the Great Qin Iron Eagle Elite Army below, which was neat and uniform with a magnificent Aura. His heart couldn't help but slightly tremble.
He had indeed rarely seen such an elite army in his life. However, as a Spiritual Infant completion expert, how could he easily feel fear?
In his opinion, the opposing general was merely in the late Spiritual Infant stage. As long as he was killed, this seemingly powerful army would inevitably collapse.
Moreover, if by chance, he might even be able to bring this army under his command.
Of course, before that, he must clarify their origins to avoid provoking forces that should not be provoked, which would only add trouble.
"Who exactly are you? Why are you besieging my You Province state city—You City?" Jin You's voice was bone-chillingly cold, directly transmitted towards Qin Yuan, echoing in the open area between the city wall and the army.
However, Qin Yuan seemed not to have heard, his expression unchanged. He merely turned around, his posture straight, and looked behind him.
He saw the large army quickly and orderly spread out to the sides, creating a passage. Ye Xuan's carriage slowly drove out and stopped in front of the formation.
"Your You City? When did this You City become yours?" Ye Xuan's voice carried a hint of playfulness, and he stepped down from the carriage with a smile on his face.
Jin You suddenly turned his head upon hearing the unexpected voice.
Ye Xuan stood tall and prominent, his posture like an immortal pine. His appearance was so handsome it was as if it were a masterpiece meticulously carved by a deity. He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, a high nose bridge, and slightly pursed thin lips, revealing an innate noble air.
Furthermore, the Aura he exuded was extraordinary and refined, as if surrounded by vast immortal energy, yet also like bone-chilling frost, making people dare not look directly at him. This kind of Aura was something Jin You had never seen in his life, and for a moment, he was somewhat stunned.
"You are...?" Jin You subconsciously narrowed his eyes, wanting to search for a trace of familiarity in Ye Xuan's face. A nameless unease quietly spread in his heart.
"I, naturally, am the Master of this You City, and even the entire You Province!"
