Chapter 762 Purple Robe Takes to Battle
"Xiu Jieming is truly unconventional. If others were to command troops, they would be reluctant to leave out any of the ten great families, fearing that the ten great families would hold them back. But he did the opposite, not only bringing the people of the ten great families but also having them participate in this battle."

Gu Shan paused for a moment and said, "I heard that Jiang Tianqing and Jiang Qiemo have a very good relationship. He treats Jiang Qiemo like a younger brother. If he goes to war now, how can Jiang Qiemo bring himself to do it? If Jiang Tianqing betrays them on the spot, the Jiang family will lose all credibility. It will not only damage their reputation, but also give the Heavenly Court army an excuse to purge the Jiang family. If other families go to war, I'm afraid they will encounter the same situation."

"So that's why Xiu Jieming proposed such a battle. Where did he find so many people who could fight against the top experts of the ten major families? It turns out he had such a ruthless plan. This man will stop at nothing to win," the purple-robed man sighed.

"That's how war is; you have to use every means to defeat the enemy." Wang Lian thought this was normal. As the commander-in-chief, the best outcome would be if Xiu Jieming could win the battle without losing his own soldiers.

What kind of fair and square competition is that? That kind of thing is only suitable for a fight of loyalty, not for the battlefield.

On the battlefield, if you want to save face and prove yourself, then the price you pay is the lives of your soldiers. Every bit of pride requires the lives of countless soldiers to be paid for.

Qin Qiu looked at Chen Guan with great interest, wanting to know how he would handle this matter.

This matter may seem to be a problem between Jiang Qiemo and Jiang Tianqing, but it is actually a problem shared by the ten major families. If it is not handled properly, the Nantian Kingdom, which is already in disarray, will immediately collapse.

"We concede defeat in this match." Chen Guan announced the defeat as soon as Jiang Tianqing stepped into the fray, and called Jiang Qiemo back.

“Chen Guan…” Jiang Qiemo returned and wanted to say something, but Chen Guan waved his hand to interrupt her.

"As the commander-in-chief, I failed to consider this issue, which is my dereliction of duty. This defeat is my fault." Chen Guan told Jiang Qiemo to step down first, as the fifth battle would continue.

"Although Chen Guan's actions have won the hearts of the ten great families, they have also pushed him to the brink of disaster. He has already lost two matches in a row, and now he needs to win three more, against someone like Xiu Jieming. It's going to be tough," Gu Shan sighed.

"The key is that he can no longer use people from the ten major families. Does he still have anyone he can use?" The purple-robed man's gaze swept around.

“Huang Tianming, Huangfu Yan, that girl, and some members of smaller families—these people shouldn’t have much influence, but even if they fight, there’s no guarantee of victory,” Wang Lian said.

“Even if Chen Guan wants to fight, he needs to win the other two matches first, otherwise he might not get a chance to fight,” Gu Shan said.

Everyone knew that Chen Guan had been pushed to the edge of a cliff, and no one knew what other methods he might have to turn the tide.

Most people feel that in the current situation, it is too difficult to win three games in a row, and in the end, they will probably have no choice but to release those spies.

Chen Guan's gaze swept over the crowd, and the members of the ten major families once again avoided his gaze, showing that they were even more unwilling to fight now.

Fortunately, in this match, it was Xiu Jieming's side's turn to send out their generals first.

Xiu Jieming called out a man to fight, and everyone was greatly troubled to see that it was another young general they had never heard of before.

Because they had absolutely no information, they had no idea what abilities this young general possessed, nor what kind of person they should send to fight him.

It seems that Chen Guan has already lost completely in the selection of generals.

The person he chose was targeted by Xiu Jieming, but he had no way to retaliate against the person Xiu Jieming chose.

Chen Guan squinted, secretly calculating in his mind: "If I can't last until the fifth game, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach an agreement with Xiu Jieming, and he will underestimate me."

"Brother Guan, I can fight." Xiao Qinghua saw Chen Guan's current predicament and spoke up.

"You are my secret weapon, and now is not the time to reveal it," Chen Guan said with a smile.

“Let me go, I will fight with all my might to win,” Duan Shulin said, stepping forward.

Chen Guan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and refused. He was well aware of Duan Shulin's strength.

He doesn't seem particularly outstanding on the surface, but even Jiang Qiemo said that Duan Shulin's talent and ability are not much worse than his, which shows that Duan Shulin is very strong.

However, Duan Shulin's ambitions lay not in spiritual practice; he preferred doing business.

However, Chen Guan needs to win the next two matches with absolute certainty, and there can be no surprises.

Chen Guan already had someone in mind. He walked up to the man in purple robes and said, "Purple Robe, this battle is of great importance. Only if you fight can we be sure of victory."

The woman in purple robes was slightly taken aback, not expecting Chen Guan to specifically request her to fight.

"Rest assured, Grand Preceptor, victory is assured." The man in purple robes rose and headed out of the city.

This is now the best option for Chen Guan. Among the ten major families, the only one that is not involved with the Heavenly Court Army is the Dushan Sect.

With the purple-robed warrior leading the charge, there won't be the same problems as with Jiang Qiemo.

Of course, this wasn't the only reason Chen Guan sent the purple-robed warrior into battle.

He chose the purple robe because he had been using his super hearing to listen to these people's voices.

He had just overheard the conversation between Gushan and Zipao. The two were communicating in a secret language that was inaudible to most people, and even if they did, they wouldn't understand.

Fortunately, Chen Guan had the secret skill of hearing everything, so he heard everything they said clearly.

Originally, the two were just discussing how Chen Guan would deal with the current situation and who he would choose to fight.

All of this was normal, but in the end, Gushan jokingly said, "If we were to fight, we would definitely win. It's a pity that Chen Guan probably won't use us. Should we volunteer to fight? It would be good to help him win a battle. Otherwise, if the odds are too big, it wouldn't be very interesting."

The man in purple robes chimed in, "It's pointless for us to fight. Isn't that just bullying the younger generation? Let's just watch them have their fun."

Chen Guan had some understanding of the strength of Gushan and Zipao, and hearing their tone, he began to have some suspicions about them.

In the end, Chen Guan decided to let them fight to see just how strong they really were.

Even if we lose, it's not unacceptable, since even if someone else were to play, there's no guarantee they would win.

"Commander of the 13th Battalion of the Thunderbolt Corps, Hu Yuxiao, what is your name?" The young general, holding a pair of hard iron whips, shouted at the approaching Zi Pao.

"Dushan Sect, Purple Robe," Purple Robe replied with a smile.

She wore a blue-trimmed purple robe, without armor, without using the protective function of the Destiny Star Mask, and without even a mount; she just stood there.

Like Jin Taohua, she was taller than most men, around 1.9 meters tall, with legs longer than her life.

Just standing there, she exudes a captivating charm.
