Imperial Cultivation

Chapter 330: Chapter 327: Shocking

Chu Zhiyuan returned to Yujing first.

As the sun set in the west, he appeared outside Yujing City, looking at the majestic city before him. He suddenly felt a sense of closeness and reassurance.

Having stayed in Yujing City for a long time, he didn’t feel much, but returning now, he felt exceptionally warm.

He couldn’t wait to enter the city and return to Prince Qing Mansion.

Instantly, it was a scene of chaos.

Mo Yi and the four women attended to him meticulously, making him feel refreshed and clean after washing.

Completely washing away the dust from his journey.

Chu Zhiyuan’s body and mind completely relaxed, and he felt an inexplicable sense of fatigue.

After fighting across thousands of miles, killing more than 30,000 people in one breath, and launching surprise attacks on four camps.

He had experienced too many thrilling situations during this period.

Because of his Super Sense, he was able to maintain divine calmness throughout.

At this moment, retracting his Super Sense and recalling the scenes, he couldn’t help but feel waves of palpitations.

During this period, if there had been the slightest mistake, when attacking the first camp, the other three camps coming to aid, even the Phoenix Camp could not stop them.

It was akin to walking a tightrope.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough, and truly succeeded, with the help of four Great Grandmasters who also gained merit.

Among the four camps, only one had a Great Grandmaster in charge, luckily, there were four Grandmasters to keep him occupied.

Taking advantage of the five Grandmasters being entangled in battle, he boldly launched his two most powerful Flying Knives to assist the four Grandmasters in killing this Great Grandmaster.

In this battle, he felt he had almost shattered Da Lie Dynasty’s spirit, so he did not conceal his tracks, swaggering back to the Eastern Territory.

They wore Da Lie’s armor and rode Da Lie’s military ships, so the people of Da Lie did not know who they were.

But the upper echelons of Da Lie must have known who was behind it.

Will they announce it openly, suffer a silent loss and pretend nothing happened?

Or will they blame the Da Guang Dynasty?

Chu Zhiyuan thought, if the Emperor of Da Lie were smart, he would choose the latter, venting his anger on Da Guang Dynasty.

Otherwise, with this successful raid, there will be a next time.

The Da Jing Dynasty displayed formidable strength, and the courage of Da Lie and Da Guang Dynasties would disperse like bubbles.

——

In the evening, Chu Zhiyuan went to the front courtyard, and just as he sat down, Chu Yi appeared.

”Big brother, you’ve finally returned!” Chu Yi happily pounced over.

Chu Zhiyuan held her shoulders, preventing her from falling into his arms, and smiled: ”You’re a big girl now, mind your manners.”

Chu Yi unhappily batted his hand away, retreating, and snorted: ”You’ve married a wife and are neglecting your sister!”

Bai Ningshuang approached lightly, accompanied by Chu Minghou.

”Sit down and talk,” Bai Ningshuang said, ”Have you recovered yet?”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”I’ll rest for another day tomorrow, don’t tell anyone I’ve returned.”

”Hmm, I won’t say,” Bai Ningshuang quickly replied, ”You won’t go out for rapid military training again, will you?”

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”Probably not in the short term.”

”Sigh... you guys really like to make a fuss, why insist on going out to train, isn’t training in the camp good enough?”

Bai Ningshuang shook her head repeatedly, disagreeing.

Chu Minghou laughed: ”Rest well for a few days; when will your uncle and the others return?”

Bai Ningshuang looked over.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Their return will be slower, they won’t be back too soon, at least ten days.”

That’s already considered fast.

Unlike the urgent march when going out, the main task on the return trip was training.

Training in the camp every day is not as effective as marching training.

Moreover, taking advantage of the time just after the battle, training when blood is still boiling has better results.

”A round trip takes more than half a month... being a soldier is indeed not easy,” Bai Ningshuang said.

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”The salary isn’t free, and the military exploits aren’t undeserved, how could it be easy.”

”Your uncle didn’t take anything big, did he?” Bai Ningshuang asked, ”Should I scold him?”

”Uncle is very good,” Chu Zhiyuan laughed, ”He is my strong arm, the saying ’brothers fight the tiger, father and son go to war’ is quite correct, family is just different.”

Bai Ningshuang smiled.

Chu Yi asked: ”Big brother, was there anything interesting along the way? How is it over in the Eastern Territory, are there any strange flowers or plants?”

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile.

He never disclosed the purpose of this march, claiming outwardly that it was a drill.

Training the marching ability of the Phoenix Camp, training how to build camp and fortify along the way, how to march rapidly, how to respond to ambushes.

Meanwhile, they cleared some bandit clans along the way as practice.

Bai Ningshuang and Chu Minghou and Chu Yi only thought he was working hard, hurrying along the road.

They were unaware of the dangers among them.

Chu Zhiyuan also did not plan to divulge it.

The entire Phoenix Camp received a gag order, and this operation was not to be spread.

Everything said to outsiders was about the drill.

A family of four gathered for a meal, and before they finished eating, Feng Xi delivered a letter.

Chu Zhiyuan glanced at it and shook his head.

”Whose letter is it?” Bai Ningshuang asked.

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”An old acquaintance, there’s no rush to see them until tomorrow.”

”Who is the old acquaintance?” Chu Yi asked, ”Not a woman, right? Big brother, you already have a Princess.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Did Ruoling give you good stuff again?”

”Hehe, Spirit Pills and Spiritual Flowers,” Chu Yi laughed, ”Sister-in-law thinks of me more than you do, and yet you went out for a big lap and didn’t bring back a single gift.”

Chu Zhiyuan laughed: ”Rest assured, it’s not some random woman, it’s a serious matter.”

”Which woman’s is it?”

”The Holy Daughter of the Wuyou Sect.”

”Holy Daughter?” Chu Yi said in surprise, ”Another Holy Daughter?”

Bai Ningshuang frowned: ”From the Wuyou Sect? We should stay a bit away from them.”

She was wary of that Princess Ning in the palace.

Even though she had been banished to the Cold Palace, her influence was still undiminished, and no one dared to offend her.

Because she was the Holy Daughter of the Wuyou Sect.

——

Chu Zhiyuan found Meng Canglan, the Holy Daughter of the Wuyou Sect, in a small pavilion in a forest outside South City.

By Meng Canglan’s side were Song Yichun and Li Yilong.

”Congratulations to the Princely Heir for achieving a Miracle Technique!” Meng Canglan cupped her fists and smiled, gentle and charming.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and cupped his hands: ”The Holy Daughter received the news?... The batch of armor will be returned later.”

Meng Canglan sighed: ”The Princely Heir acts truly with incredible ingenuity, beyond expectation.”

She had originally thought that Chu Zhiyuan would wear Da Lie’s armor and ambush small groups of Da Guang Dynasty’s troops.

Thereby sparking the old enmity and deep hatred between the two dynasties, reigniting war, leaving them unable to attend to Da Jing.

Yet, Chu Zhiyuan did the opposite.

Wearing Da Lie’s armor, he surprisingly launched a raid on Da Lie Dynasty’s Nanyun Island, Da Lie Dynasty’s most prosperous Nanyun Island.

This Nanyun Island is the southernmost of Da Lie Dynasty, but it is exceptionally wealthy because of the abundant production of Bright Pearls on the island.

And the garrison on Nanyun Island is also the most elite.

Da Lie Dynasty was preparing for war, selecting military elites from all regions, gathering all the elites on Nanyun Island, preparing to rush into Da Jing’s Eastern Territory with full force.

Although Da Lie Dynasty regarded Da Jing’s Eastern Territory as already crippled and military preparedness neglected, Da Jing was, after all, one of the three major dynasties, with impressive might, making them wary.

Thus gathering all of Da Lie’s elites, intending to achieve a great success and severely damage the Eastern Territory’s border army of Da Jing.

Afterward, they would retreat, fulfilling their agreement with Da Meng.

As long as Da Meng could hold back Da Jing’s Western Territory army, by then, the Eastern Territory’s border army would be helpless against Da Lie and Da Guang.

No one expected Chu Zhiyuan to be so bold as to lead over a thousand elites straight to Nanyun Island.

Overnight, flattening the four major camps on Nanyun Island.

This battle could be described as extremely astonishing.

Da Lie Dynasty’s court has not yet received accurate news, but it can be imagined how they would react with shock upon learning the news.

The one who established this astonishing military feat turned out to be a newly founded camp, commanded by a Princely Heir who had never led troops before.

How could it not be shocking to the world?

...

Chu Zhiyuan smiled: ”What is the response from Da Guang Dynasty?”

Meng Canglan said: ”Da Guang Dynasty hasn’t reacted yet, they’re still speculating who did it, suspecting Da Jing, but it doesn’t seem like it, guessing it might be Da Meng, or that Da Lie Dynasty’s fickleness caused Da Meng to retaliate harshly.”

”Their imagination is really rich!” Chu Zhiyuan laughed.

Meng Canglan said: ”Princely Heir, should we let the news out? Let Da Guang know the truth?”

”What does the Holy Daughter think?” Chu Zhiyuan asked.

Meng Canglan softly said: ”This girl believes that spreading the news would be better.”

Chu Zhiyuan said: ”Won’t it cause the two dynasties to unite against a common enemy?”

Meng Canglan smiled: ”Da Lie Dynasty and Da Guang Dynasty have always been rivals, even this time’s joint action, with Da Meng’s mediation, was still conducted separately, never seeing each other.”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Meng Canglan said: ”Da Guang will definitely add fuel to the fire... After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, they absolutely won’t miss it!”
