Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 174: Counterattack Begins
Elder Zhong then opened his eyes, looked at her with compassion and serenity, and said, "You are already more powerful than your ancestor Pei Hong. Don't underestimate yourself. You are only in your twenties, but Yue Cang has lived longer than I have. Moreover, when your ancestor was alive, Yue Cang was the best in the world. This is difficult, you need time."

"But so many victims can't wait, so many small countries can't wait, and every time I grow up, countless people die at the same time." Pei Nai blames himself and feels powerless.

Elder Zhong smiled and shook his head. “That is their own destiny. As long as evil exists in the world, you will never be able to save everyone. Do what you should do and save those you want to save.”

"As long as you can finally avenge these innocent lives, everything we do will be meaningful." Grandma Axun arrived at the door at some point, and continued with Elder Zhong's words, comforting Pei Nai.

Pei Nai nodded and looked down at the ground.

"But I feel that there is a huge chasm between me and Yue Cang. I want to cross it, but I am always missing something. I can only fall to the bottom of the valley again and again. His combat power level has overturned all my past cognition, and he knows my moves like the back of his hand. I have no direction now." Pei Nai looked a little confused.

Senior Zhong enlightened her, saying, "It is not an exaggeration that the world regards you as a martial arts genius who is second to none. In just one month, you have mastered the second half of the Pei Family Spear to perfection. Even Yue Cang and his ilk cannot compare to you. It is not that your own talent is limited, but that the existing moves of the Zhubei Spear limit you."

The fog in front of Pei Nai's eyes seemed to be dissipated by the invisible golden light.

In a trance, it was as if an electric current ran through the top of her head, making her mind clear.

"You mean, to create my own shooting skills?" Her words made her heart surge, and the blood in her body surged. She couldn't even feel the pain in her arm.

This was her body's response to her, as if every drop of blood and every inch of skin were shouting: This is how it should be.

There was almost no need for Senior Zhong to reply, Pei Nai had already determined the answer.

Senior Zhong also sensed something.

Pei Nai did not raise her palm, but the winds all changed, and everything here was excited for her.

Elder Zhong's voice was deep and heavy. "Go, it's time. With a female body and a kind heart, bear the weight of millions of people, temper the Heavenly Blade, embrace the mountains and seas, and carve out your own path!"

Pei Nai raised his head and saw Grandma Xun leaning against the door with a face full of pride and relief. She said with tears in her eyes, "In the future, I will know that I saw a miracle today."

Pei Nai blinked twice, and the next thing he said was: "Granny, do you have a spear?"

Of course, Pei Nai was unable to obtain the spear for martial arts practice in the end.

She obtained two spears through various channels, both of which were from the treasury of the Valley Kingdom.

It’s just that Gu Jinheng’s information channels were too wide, and the things were confiscated one by one by Gu Jinheng before they even reached her hands.

When it comes to Pei Nai's physical safety, Gu Jinheng is very tough.

The weapon forger introduced by Grandma Xun also asked her: "General Pei, what should we do?"

Pei Nai could only sigh and answer him: "What can I do? I have to spoil the person I chose myself."

More than 100,000 soldiers of the Tianyao Army went to the fourth area of the underground city and took six hours to put out the fire that the Wu tribe had set before leaving.

They resealed the blasted entrance to the mine.

Han Ruize and Shao Liran had not slept for more than two days. After they withdrew their troops and returned to District 3, they took a short rest for two hours. Then, the countries of Tianyao, Qilu and Mountain Valley organized the first formal tripartite alliance meeting.

The parliament was held in a large cave hall in the third district. There were hollow stone windows on both sides of the hall, making it look bright.

The area was cordoned off and heavily guarded on the periphery.

Those present from Tianyao included Pei Nai, Gu Jinheng, Han Ruize, Shao Liran, Luo Yuanying, Zhong Lin, Du Ling and the main generals of the army. Zhang Sheng, Lu Xulan and senior officials from the Valley Kingdom were also present. Gongyang Zisheng was seriously injured and could not walk. Da Xi'an sat on the side with a penetrating wound in his abdomen. Behind him were the generals of Qilu and his sister Da Xi Shangle.

As the real He Jiang Zhan Shen Yue, Hu Yan Wei Zhao knew a lot about the internal situation of the Wu clan and was also invited.

Zhang Sheng and his team have compiled the latest scout reports, marked the locations of the various Wu tribe armies on the map, and explained the terrain features and types of organizations in the locations.

Among the enemies who penetrated deep into the Twenty-One Zone, only Yue Cang escaped, but Yue Cang would surely send a pigeon to inform Wu Jun about Wei Daihua as soon as possible.

With the antidote, the poison will no longer pose a threat to the allied forces in the East.

In addition, Qilu's reinforcements had successfully arrived, and all border gates of the Valley Kingdom had been sealed, and the situation of Wu's army became worse.

Wu Jun also had his own assessment of this, and seeing that the situation was unfavorable, he prepared to withdraw.

The various armies of the Wu tribe scattered across the territory of the Valley changed their marching routes and were simultaneously rushing towards the southwest giant gate west of Kunjin City.

There is no time to waste, so Tianyao, Qilu and the Valley Kingdom decided to send out troops early tomorrow morning.

Han Ruize will lead Tianyao's northwestern border army to intercept the Wu army gathering from the north.

Shao Liran will lead the Tianyao Yongzhou garrison to circle back from a hidden exit in District 4 and complete a surprise attack on Wu’s army in the southeast.

The mechanical wizards of the Valley Kingdom will accompany them and assist them with the defense mechanisms in the territory.

They were not sure whether the Wu tribe controlled the entrances to other underground cities, so they had to prevent the Wu tribe from taking advantage of the situation and rushing directly into the underground city after they sent out their troops.

Once the dungeon is completely occupied, it will be difficult to recapture it, which will result in disastrous consequences.

Nearly three million people will become hostages of Wu’s army, and an endless and protracted war will follow.

This is a consequence they cannot afford, and so the surviving troops of the Valley Kingdom must stay behind and strictly guard all entrances and exits.

The Qilu army will march westward to encircle and suppress the main combat force of the Wu army led by "Huyan Weizhao".

After Han Ruize and Shao Liran destroy the remnants of Wu’s army, they will also rush to the southwest to provide support.

But the problem now is that Gongyang Zisheng is seriously injured and has not yet recovered, and the penetrating wound on Daxian's waist prevents him from traveling far.

There was no one in command above the generals of Qilu's army.

Everyone asked Da Xian if they could select a temporary head coach to cooperate with Tian Yao.

Da Xian said: "We Qilu warriors are very proud, and we will not accept the leadership that was promoted in a short period of time."

"If Qilu has no commander, who will make the decision when the situation suddenly changes?" Zhang Sheng asked puzzledly, "Who should the Tianyao army communicate with?"

Da Xian seemed to have been prepared for this. He waited patiently for him to finish before saying, "Unless this temporary commander is stronger than Gongyang Zisheng, every commander in Qilu will respect him from the bottom of their hearts."

Everyone followed his gaze and looked at Pei Nai who was standing beside him.

Daxian took off a jade token from his waist, handed it to Pei Nai and said, "My army and I will only accept your command. If you take it, you will share power with me, and your instructions will be like my own orders."
