Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 282 Shang Qingjun's Special Abilities
Watching the army marching out of Pingzhou City in a mighty manner, Yang Jian finally spoke and asked Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Master, how did the king know that the Golden Exquisite Pagoda in Uncle Li Jing's hands could hold the people of these twelve cities?"

Jade Ding Zhenren said, "Third Master once said that a commander must know both himself and the enemy, so that he can fight a hundred battles without danger."

"Now the king not only knows the strength of the North Sea, but also has a thorough understanding of the abilities of his own generals."

"After all, it's much easier to understand your own generals' abilities than to know the enemy's strength. All you need to do is ask them and everything will become clear at a glance."

"So the king naturally knows that the Golden Exquisite Pagoda in Junior Brother Li Jing's hands can resolve this unsolvable situation."

Yang Jian was instantly awakened after hearing this, and even said in disbelief: "Compared to the king in the Nine Palaces, the king at this moment is qualified to be called the Human Emperor."

Emperor Xin naturally couldn't hear Yang Jian's praise of him, otherwise he would have been so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.

It wasn't that Emperor Xin was vain, but he really wanted to prove himself. To prove that even without the civil and military officials left to him by Emperor Yi, he could still rule the world.

As Emperor Xin led his army out of Pingzhou City, Jiuying naturally led his men directly into Pingzhou City, completely cutting off Emperor Xin's retreat route.

However, this was not to really kill Emperor Xin in Beihai City. It was just to put pressure on Emperor Xin and force him to withdraw his troops.

After all, Emperor Xin was the emperor of the time. Apart from committing suicide, only his mortal enemy Ji Fa had the qualifications to kill him.

Apart from Ji Fa, even if Zhen Yuanzi took action personally, he would not dare to put Emperor Xin to death. Otherwise, this cause and effect would cause him to fall from the throne of sainthood.

And those quasi-saints were even less qualified to attack Emperor Xin. The mere presence of the Emperor's aura was enough to repel them.

Little did they know that Emperor Xin had already begun practicing the Human Emperor Sutra. The power of destiny he could mobilize for the human race was even greater than before.

Now Emperor Xin has set up camp ten miles outside Beihai City. Naturally, he is full of confidence and wants to take Beihai City in one fell swoop.

Even so, Emperor Xin did not set up camp casually. Instead, he built the camp strictly according to the formation of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

After the army set up camp, Emperor Xin did not rush to attack Beihai. Instead, he ordered the army to rest for a day.

Emperor Xin's army set up camp outside Beihai City, and Yuan Futong naturally received the news. He quietly came to the air to observe the layout of Emperor Xin's camp.

This sight alone made Yuan Futong frown. He even muttered to himself, "Could it be that there are Taoist disciples accompanying that tyrant emperor?"

It was no wonder Yuan Futong thought so, because he was standing in mid-air. He should have been able to see Emperor Xin's camp clearly, but now he only saw a cloud of white mist accompanied by bursts of golden light.

That's why Yuan Futong subconsciously thought that Emperor Xin must have been accompanied by a Taoist disciple. Otherwise, Emperor Xin would never have been able to hide his camp in the white mist.

Little did they know that this white mist was generated by the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams Formation. The golden light within the white mist was the true destiny of the human race.

When Yuan Futong returned to Beihai City, he immediately told Bai Ze about his suspicions.

After Bai Ze learned about this, he personally went to the air to check it out and found that it was just as Yuan Futong said.

Back in Beihai City, Bai Ze finally spoke up, "Now that the tyrant emperor's position is unstable, why don't we send troops to attack his camp overnight?"

"With Ji Meng, Gui Cha's secret assistance, we can deal with the tyrant even if he has Taoist disciples helping him." Yuan Futong nodded and immediately mobilized his troops. They planned to leave the city through different gates under cover of night and then encircle Emperor Xin's camp.

At this time, in Emperor Xin's central military tent, Su Hu, Zheng Lun, Li Jing, Yin Shiniang, Zhang Kui, Gao Lanying, and a group of military generals had already taken their seats on the left and right.

Emperor Xin then said, "Our army has just arrived in Beihai City and is still unstable. We must be careful and vigilant. The enemy may attack our camp at night."

"So tonight, all soldiers are not allowed to take off their armor, and their weapons are not allowed to leave their bodies. Otherwise, you will be executed immediately."

After hearing this, all the generals agreed in unison. Then they went down to make arrangements. Only Emperor Xin and Shang Qingjun remained in the central army tent.

Shang Qingjun rubbed Emperor Xin's shoulders and said, "Your Majesty, Qingjun looks at Beihai City and something seems to be wrong."

Hearing Shang Qingjun's words, Emperor Xin couldn't help but ask, "Then I'd like to hear why you think he's wrong."

Shang Qingjun thought for a moment and then said to Emperor Xin, "Actually, Qingjun can't quite explain it, but I just saw a large mass of black air above Beihai City."

"I remember my father once said that beneath the black aura, there must be demons hiding there."

"So Qingjun believes that there must be a powerful demon in Beihai City. Otherwise, the black energy would definitely not be so dense."

Emperor Xin had never thought that Shang Qingjun could actually see demonic energy, so he immediately asked him, "You can actually see demonic energy?"

Shang Qingjun nodded, "Qingjun can not only see demonic energy, but also virtue and luck. For example, the luck above the king's head, Qingjun can see it clearly."

When Shang Qingjun said this, even Emperor Xin was a little shocked. After all, even cultivators might not be able to see merit and luck.

So he opened his mouth and asked Shang Qingjun again: "Is this ability of yours innate, or did you learn it from others?"

Shang Qingjun said, "Ever since Qingjun could remember, I've been able to see these things clearly. It must be innate."

"It's a pity that Qingjun doesn't know how to distinguish the amount of merit and luck. For example, the luck above the king's head, Qingjun can only see a large ball."

While speaking, Shang Qingjun did not forget to gesture to show how powerful that ball of luck was.

That serious expression almost made Emperor Xin burst out laughing. If he wasn't worried about the war tonight, he would have gone to Wushan with Shang Qingjun by now.

Meanwhile, Yuan Futong had also made preparations and had surrounded Emperor Xin's camp, making it impossible for anyone to get out.

They just waited until the fourth watch, the moment when the soldiers were sleeping the deepest, and then launched a surprise attack on Emperor Xin's camp.

At this time, Jade Ding Zhenren and Yang Jian in mid-air had already seen all of this. Yang Jian even asked Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Master, are you really not going to inform the king in advance? After all, if the enemy succeeds in sneaking into the camp, the king will really have no choice but to retreat."

Jade Ding Zhenren shook his head. "Master and disciple, we just need to watch and don't need to interfere. You have only one mission, and that is to capture Yuan Futong alive."
