Super Gene Hunting Ground

”Unify Xuanming Country?”

Yang Xiao was taken aback, then chuckled:

”I haven’t considered this issue. Maybe it’s possible after all of you have grown up.”

So, Yang Xiao discussed with everyone about gathering troops to attack Eastern Province, leaving some forces in various cities for defense, except for Xiangfan, which didn’t need to contribute troops. Instead, each of the other cities was to gather ten thousand elites and assemble them in Yang City.

Xiao Zhe and Zhou Qiang were in charge of defending Kongming City, while the others such as Gong Yu, Xia Luo, Long Yongjun, Ben Yin, Lan Xin, and Huang Wen all followed Yang Xiao into battle.

With the eight thousand elites already in Yang City, the total force reached nearly 20,000.

”The route of the battle will go from Yuan City, Jinzhou, Zongli City, Qingyun City, and then we’ll move on to settle Yunluo City and such places in the surrounding area. We aim to capture Tianyue City in the shortest time possible.

We will form a 3,000-person Flying People Team to first take down the minor outposts outside cities, open up transmission channels, and then transport our main forces over, advancing in succession.

Huang Wen, you will lead the Flying People Team. Gong Yu’s Giant Eagle and your two Giant Eagles, along with Qin Yu, Deng Xiao and others will support you. You are our vanguard; the success of your mission will determine whether the rest of our troops can smoothly reach the battlefield, so you must be extra careful.”

Huang Wen stood up and said:

”Yang Xiao, rest assured, with three thousand Flying People, just a single Arrow Rain could turn a small town into a sea of fire.”

Yang Xiao looked at Huang Wen, realizing that she had become more delicate and charming with time, although not quite on par with Lan Xin and Qin Yu’s beauty, but compared to the past, she had changed beyond recognition.

He wondered if it was the result of Genetic Evolution or the effect of practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique.

Most people who cultivate the Genetic Transformation Technique would find their skin becoming smoother and smoother over time. Now even Lan Xin began to practice the Genetic Transformation Technique.

After the meeting, everyone returned to their respective cities to prepare. Within three days, they were to arrive in Yang City with their troops.

Yang Xiao pulled Long Xiang aside alone.

”Hehe, smarty big brother, what do you need from me? Hmm, let me guess, do you need me to help you block some formidable character?”

Long Xiang said playfully.

Yang Xiao smiled and replied:

”You really are smart. I indeed need your help. Huang Wen is leading three thousand Flying People into battle and the Flying People have relatively weak close combat abilities individually. I’m afraid she might encounter unexpected dangers, so I want to assign you to join Huang Wen at the forefront. With you protecting her, I can have peace of mind.”

After hearing this, Long Xiang looked at Yang Xiao with her beady eyes, rotating ceaselessly, then chuckled coldly several times.

”What’s so funny?”

Yang Xiao felt somewhat embarrassed by her laughter.

”Hehe, are you worried about Sister Huang Wen, or do you like Sister Huang Wen?”

”That—what’s the difference? I would be worried if you encountered a formidable opponent too.”

Yang Xiao laughed.

”Hehe, of course, there’s a difference. I don’t like it when you’re stepping on so many boats.”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

”I met Sister Huang Wen in Yang City, as well as Qin Yu and Sister Deng Xiao, and they were all very nice to me. But you, liking so many sisters at the same time, can your conscience really be at ease? Are you thinking of starting a harem?”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Long Xiang was neither dumb nor silly. During her time in Yang City, she got along quite well with Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, and the others. Occasionally, she could feel from their conversations their care and longing for Yang Xiao. Although these girls did not speak too directly, Long Xiang could still see it.

Seeing that Yang Xiao was silent, Long Xiang said triumphantly:

”How about that, I’ve hit the nail on the head, haven’t I?”

Yang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly asked:

”If you were me, what would you do?”

”First of all, I definitely wouldn’t be you because I wouldn’t like several people at the same time,”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

”I mean hypothetically, if you were in my situation, what would you plan to do?”

Long Xiang was startled for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter:

”It’s quite simple, just take them all, haha...”

After saying that, Long Xiang laughed heartily and ran out of the hall, chasing after Lan Xin who was waiting for her outside, leaving a shocked Yang Xiao behind.

”This little girl, she really is a mischievous imp!”

Three days later, Yang Xiao led nearly 20,000 troops to gather in Yang City.

That night, Huang Wen, Qin Yu, Deng Xiao, Long Xiang, and others took three thousand of the Flying People and quietly set off under the cover of night, flying towards several frontline outposts about two hundred kilometers outside of Yang City in the Eastern Province.

These frontline outposts were now each guarded by only a few hundred people. When Huang Wen’s three thousand Flying People arrived under the cover of darkness, a shower of arrows rained down, eliminating all the people there.

After successively occupying three of the frontline outposts, Yang Xiao, Gong Yu, Xiao Zhe and others led the main forces and divided into three groups to advance separately.

”Yang Xiao, the passages from the three outposts to Mountain City have not been closed yet.”

”Good, everyone get ready, we’ll immediately go through the Transmission Array and seize Guan City.”

An hour later, the 20,000-strong army had occupied Guan City.

Guan City Lord Wu Wen was asleep and was woken up by a guard. In a state of panic, he saw that the city was filled with guards from Kongming City, and Huang Wen’s three thousand Flying People were shielding the entire sky above Guan City, Wu Wen knew that the situation was beyond salvaging and hurriedly came to a small outpost outside the city, where he used the Transmission Array to escape to Tianyue City.

As soon as he stepped out of the Transmission Array, he immediately shouted:

”Guan City has been occupied by the people from Kongming City, hurry, close the Transmission Array channel to Guan City.”

...

Li Jiachen’s unexpected death immediately plunged the entire Eastern Province into a state of headless dragons. After some arguments, everyone promoted three individuals with Advanced Enhanced Genes Realm to form a temporary trio to jointly manage the Eastern Province.

These three individuals were He Hui, Xu Li, Zhu Hao, among whom He Hui was the leader; previously, when Li Jiachen was around, these three were her most trusted aides.

Guan City Lord Wu Wen reported the occupation of Guan City to the trio urgently.

”The three bosses, you must come up with a plan quickly, the other side is numerous and fierce.”

He Hui and the other two exchanged glances and said:

”Li Jiachen was killed by Yang Xiao at the Wentian City combat tournament, actually, a few days ago, the owner of the Genetic Store told us this news, and we had a feeling that Yang Xiao would definitely come to attack the Eastern Province, we just didn’t expect him to come so quickly.”

Xu Li said:

”So what do we do now? Hurry up and call the surrounding brothers together to resist Yang Xiao, we in the Eastern Province also have tens of thousands of elite guards, we aren’t afraid of him.”

Zhu Hao gave a wry smile and said:

”It’s not just Yang Xiao who wants to snatch East City, the nearby Green Dragon City has long been assembling troops near the border, staying idle, what you said is correct, if we call all our troops together, we can also have a decisive battle with Yang Xiao, but after we both suffer, the people from Green Dragon City would surely take the opportunity to occupy us, by then, what else would we have to fight with?”

The trio had already run through this scenario multiple times.

During the winter period, the Eastern Province relied on the resources from the frozen sea to make rapid progress, but after the winter was over, the people along East City’s coast could no longer hunt the ferocious mutated sea fish, and could only turn to the mainland in search of resources.
