Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 182 Heavenly Intent to Kill, Stars Shift and Constellations Change

Meanwhile, in the underworld, on Iron Mountain, along the banks of the River of No Destiny, war rages. 🍓 ⋆ 🍦 🎀 60MJ.🌸🌸🎀 🍦 ⋆ 🍓

The mighty Wuding River was surging with rapids, and two groups of people on the banks were advancing in a fierce attack.

The Yin army on the banks of the Wuding River, which originally held a geographical advantage, should have had the upper hand against the invading enemy from the mortal realm. However, unfortunately, judging from their performance, the defending army on the banks of the Wuding River could not be said to have collapsed in one blow; they were more or less fleeing at the first sign of trouble.

After all, they were facing the Allied Forces of the Four Seas and the elite troops of the Li and Yang families.

The ghostly soldiers on the banks of the Wuding River can only be considered, in a sense, as a security force, responsible for routine security work.

In a real war, they were far from being comparable to the Allied Forces of the Four Seas and the elite troops of Zhuolu.

The elite troops in Zhuolu were either fighting or on their way to fight. Especially after the Foundation headquarters parachuted into the East China Sea, the intensity of the war in Zhuolu increased several levels. The Zhuolu troops that survived this period were almost all strong soldiers, all of them were elite soldiers who were good at fighting.

But this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that the elite troops of Zhuolu who attacked from the mortal realm this time, the Four Seas Alliance, do not have any martial ethics.

They brought their physical bodies to the underworld!

In this situation, one side has a physical body to support it, while the other is just a mass of energy. What the hell is the point of fighting like this?

This is practically a case of "dimensional reduction attack"!

The ghostly army on the banks of the Wuding River was no match for the allied forces of the Four Seas at Zhuolu. They were easily crushed and routed. It was a one-sided affair, with the enemy daring to come and the enemy daring to die.

Amidst the mighty offensive at the front, banners of the allied forces of the mortal realm fluttered in the wind.

At first glance, it exudes a chilling murderous aura.

"Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to give back to Heaven!"

"We swear to kill Qin Feng, an eye for an eye!"

"The enmity between us and the people of the East China Sea is irreconcilable!"

"Where is Qin Feng? Come out and fight!"

"The blame for today's events lies entirely with Qin Feng!"

For a time, the offensive of the Zhuolu allied forces was overwhelming and imposing, with the momentum to wash the underworld in blood.

As the leader of this alliance, Ao Cheng, the Dragon Prince of the East Sea, is the commander of the Four Seas Alliance.

The Ao Cheng of today is far from the timid and easily fooled impulsive dragon prince he was when he first met Qin Feng.

He has completed the transfer of power in the four seas. The Dragon Lords of the four seas are just high-ranking officials who are kept on the shelf. The entire dragon clan's power is now under Ao Cheng's control!

Ao Cheng, clad in a white dragon-patterned armor with his long white banner fluttering, scanned the Wuding River front fortress with a murderous intent in his eyes.

Countless days and nights, he thought about killing Qin Feng with his own hands.

But his own clear-headedness told him that he was no match for Qin Feng, and that if he really wanted to kill Qin Feng, he had to wait for an opportunity.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived!

News came from the Celestials that Qin Feng had gone to a mysterious region and could not return, making it the perfect opportunity to ambush him.

At this very moment, the celestial bodies moved and the stars shifted, drawing upon the power of all the celestial beings to repair the secret passage of Qiaoshan.

This secret passage in the mountain is three times stronger than before. It can not only support the yang soul to enter the underworld, but also allow living humans and demons to enter the underworld for a short time without being restricted by the yin energy of the underworld.

The mortal army is already stronger than the underworld's soldiers, and this time the mortal army is also enhanced by physical bodies, so it is a devastating blow to the underworld.

At this moment, Ao Cheng felt the same exhilarating feeling that Qin Feng had when he bullied Donghai back then.

This feeling of the big bullying the small and the strong bullying the weak is truly wonderful.

In fact, Ao Cheng even had an unrealistic idea.

The mortal realm is so chaotic, why should I bother with those boxing champions from the mortal realm for some kind of championship tournament?

Why don't I start a business in the underworld?

The underworld is full of trash, every single one of them is a weakling. My Four Seas Alliance can easily make a name for themselves, punching Iron Mountain and sweeping through the City of the Dead. Anyone who dares to bare their teeth at me, I'll beat you up just like Qin Feng beat up the East Sea!

This is the happy life that Ao Cheng has always wanted!

It's better if this idea doesn't exist; once it does, it's hard to stop.

Ao Cheng pondered carefully, comparing the strengths of both sides, and summarizing the situation in the East China Sea.

Judging from the current situation, the living environment in Zhuolu Yangjian and Donghai is not exactly declining, but it's pretty much a matter of not knowing where the next meal will come from, and whether they have food depends entirely on the face of the two major families.

The two major families, the Yang and Li families, and the Ji family behind the Zhou emperor, would absolutely not allow any forces from all over the world to occupy Zhuolu.

As for the underworld, even if the demons of the four seas abandon their physical bodies and rely solely on their souls, with the strength of my elite troops from the four seas, even ten of these ghost soldiers and demons tied together on the banks of the Wuding River could not defeat me.

Why didn't I stay in the Underworld and be a local tyrant, instead of tearing Qin Feng to pieces and suffering back in Zhuolu?

Why should these worthless people enjoy the magnificent landscapes of the underworld, instead of people like me, the Dragon Army of the Four Seas and the Righteous Gods of Mountains and Rivers?

Did these so-called mountain lords and spirit officials receive any promises from King Yu? Do they even have any legitimacy whatsoever?

Ao Cheng grew angrier the more he thought about it, and the more he felt that his life goals had gone astray.

Previously, I had been fighting tooth and nail with a bunch of ordinary people, and I always felt that I wasn't working hard enough.

Looking back now, it wasn't that I didn't work hard enough; it was that I was heading in the wrong direction.

Why bother with those idiots? I should stay here and be a local big shot.

If you think like that, then you need to change your goals.

I cannot kill Qin Feng myself; at the very least, it cannot be me who kills Qin Feng, but rather the two major powers of Zhuolu.

Let them kill Qin Feng, while I preserve my strength. When they are locked in a fierce battle with Qin Feng, I will reap the benefits and swallow up both Qin Feng and the Zhuolu family.

By then, I might be able to devour the territory of the underworld and even acquire a large territory in Zhuolu!

Just then, the Turtle Prime Minister stepped forward. Seemingly understanding Ao Cheng's thoughts, he said, "Crown Prince, the Celestials allowed us to come to the Underworld to eliminate Qin Feng's forces. At this crucial moment, we cannot afford to be careless. We must quickly conquer Iron Enclosure Mountain and wipe out Qin Feng's remnants!"

Ao Cheng glanced at the Turtle Prime Minister. Compared to his appearance in the East Sea, the Turtle Prime Minister now looked like a smoker, his entire turtle skin puffy and swollen, with no dignity whatsoever.

The miserable state of Prime Minister Turtle today is inextricably linked to Qin Feng. Qin Feng abducted him to a brothel to work as a pimp. Prime Minister Turtle has endured the ravages of time in the world of pleasure, and it is already lucky that he did not die.

Ao Cheng asked, "Did the Heavenly Beings explicitly tell us to kill Qin Feng immediately?"

The Turtle Prime Minister paused for a moment, "What does the Crown Prince mean?"

Ao Cheng said calmly, "That Qin Feng is a cunning and scheming fellow. In my opinion, Iron Enclosure Mountain is definitely a deadly trap. If we dare to go there, we will surely be wiped out! It would be better to let the Li family and the Yang family go first."

Prime Minister Gui was taken aback. "But... but what if Iron Mountain is undefended, or its defenses are weak, and the Li and Yang families take it directly? Wouldn't we be missing a great opportunity to achieve something great?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Cheng glanced at the Turtle Prime Minister with his icy blue dragon eyes.

The Turtle Prime Minister was so frightened that he took several steps back and dared not utter a sound.

Ao Cheng thought to himself, "He truly deserves to be called a lackey of the Celestials; he's been a lackey to the very end."

What the hell is this called making a great contribution?

You're risking the lives of the entire East Sea army to gain merit for your Celestial Master? Turtle Prime Minister, why didn't Qin Feng kill you back then?! He should have boiled you into turtle jelly!

I am the Crown Prince of the Four Seas! Not some damned Celestial Prince!

If the celestial beings truly intended to help us across the land back then, why were they so indifferent during the Battle of Jianye?

The Celestials are nothing but a bunch of petty opportunists. Their plan to repair the secret passage in Qiaoshan today is merely to use our enemies in Zhuolu to distract Qin Feng, so that Qin Feng won't ruin their base in the Underworld.

But the underworld is so vast, why should it give him a celestial being, why should it give him Qin Feng!

Why can't I, Ao Cheng, be the Lord of the Underworld!

Ao Cheng turned around, his voice icy, "Order the three armies to deploy along the Wuding River to prevent Qin Feng's forces from counterattacking from Iron Enclosure City. Also, inform the Li and Yang families that our Four Seas Alliance, as the vanguard, has now captured the Wuding River as agreed, achieving our expected goal. However, our Four Seas Alliance suffered heavy casualties and needs time to recuperate. The battle of Iron Enclosure Mountain will be entrusted to the two great families."

The Turtle Prime Minister was stunned for a moment, looking at the Dragon Prince who had turned and left, at a loss for what to do.

This is different from what was said when we arrived!

Before coming here, Prince Long volunteered in front of the Tianren and the two major families to be the first to capture Iron Enclosure Mountain and cut off Qin Feng's dog head!

Why is His Highness the Crown Prince saying now that he suffered heavy casualties? Were there any casualties?

Now that Ao Cheng's power is firmly established, no one in the Four Seas Alliance dares to oppose him. The Turtle Prime Minister has no choice but to obediently convey Ao Cheng's decree to the Tianren and the two great families.

Compare this to the complex situation of the Zhuolu coalition.

The underworld, specifically the area around Iron Mountain.

"Report to the Mountain Lord! The armies of the Li and Yang families of Zhuolu are advancing in force, along with the remnants of the Four Seas Dragon Lord's army! Their target is Iron Enclosure Mountain!"

"Has the secret passage to Qiaoshan been repaired? When was it repaired?"

"Damn it! How could something like this happen at a time like this!"

"The Celestials definitely had a plan; they never intended to let Iron Enclosure Mountain go!"

"Lord of the Mountain, what should we do?"

The master of Iron Mountain sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed, at a loss for what to do.

Although she was a mountain lord, she was only good at managing troops; when it came to leading troops into battle, she was still a complete novice.

At this very moment, Qin Feng, the only person in charge of Iron Mountain, has also disappeared without a trace.

Just as the mountain lord was in a panic, a voice came from outside the door, "Young Master Fusu has arrived!"

The master of Iron Enclosure Mountain looked towards the palace gate. Fusu led a large group of amazing experts and rushed in. The eyes of these people revealed a fierce light, and some of them were even rubbing their hands together, as if they were ready to fight.

Upon seeing this, the mountain lord of Iron Enclosure Mountain hesitated for a moment. Before she could speak, Fu Su took out a letter from his hand and said with a smile, "Letter from Qin Feng, Chairman of the Foundation."

"In the event of an emergency, all entities within the Foundation's underworld territory will come under my command!"

"The mountain lord can rest now!"

The master of Iron Mountain looked at the letter in Fusu's hand. It was indeed written by Qin Feng, and the contents were very simple.

"All the cases here were started by me, Qin Feng!"

"If we want to completely resolve this case, we must first resolve the issue of me, Qin Feng."

"As long as I live, they will not easily declare a final battle."

"Therefore, after I leave, the Celestials will definitely repair the secret passage of Qiaoshan as quickly as possible. At that time, they will lure the old enemies of Zhuolu to ambush and kill my Iron Enclosure Mountain! They will also sweep all human forces out of the Underworld and completely suppress Zhang Zhi'en!"

"If things have come to this, all power over Iron Mountain will fall entirely into the hands of Prince Fusu!"

"His Highness Fusu will lead everyone to hold out until I can call for reinforcements."

"Qin Feng, leave a note."

The mountain lord looked at Fusu, "Did Qin Feng foresee this day coming for Iron Enclosure Mountain?"

Fu Su chuckled and said, "No matter what, Qin Feng is number one on all three lists. If he can't even think of this, does he deserve to be called the number one in the world?"

Fusu turned around and sat in the main seat of the mountain lord, with the most skilled experts lined up on his left and right sides.

Fusu had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Fusu needs an opportunity to prove himself!

Turning the tide of danger before it even begins, giving us a chance to survive even in the face of death!

Now, that opportunity has arrived.

Finally, Qin Feng left, and he had the chance to unleash his full potential and take revenge!

As for today's scene, Fu Su had already mentioned it to Qin Feng before Qin Feng left. The two of them had even discussed it many times and made more than a hundred contingency plans!

Qin Feng explained to Fusu every possible scenario, from the enemy's psychology to the analysis of their military strength, commenting on everything. In fact, it could be said that Qin Feng was giving Fusu a hands-on simulation of all the possible situations that might occur after he left, and how to deal with them.

Fusu is now full of ambition, just waiting for this opportunity to turn the tide and prove his worth as the eldest prince of Qin, so that his father will also look at him with more respect!

I'm not just someone who can live a life of luxury and write copy; I'm also very capable of leading troops into battle!

Fufusu looked around and said, "The celestial beings have moved the stars and changed their constellations, using their supreme magical power to repair the secret passage of Qiaoshan Mountain and open up the passage between the underworld and the mortal world."

"Let the enemy of Zhuolu enter the underworld and surround and kill them at Iron Enclosure Mountain!"

"On the surface, this move shows that the Celestials have the initiative and the advantage."

"However, I must tell you all that although the celestial beings appear to have the initiative, they are actually in a passive and ineffective position!"

Yu Jizi asked, "May I ask, young master, how could the Celestials be on the defensive?"

Fusu raised his hand and said, "There are three reasons for being passive! First, the Celestials actively avoided Qin Feng and chose to attack Iron Enclosure Mountain when Qin Feng was not present. What does this signify?"

Meng Yi laughed heartily, "That just means the Celestials are afraid of Qin Feng! They can only launch a sneak attack when Qin Feng isn't around. As long as Qin Feng is here, the Celestials don't dare to cause trouble!"

"That's right!" Fusu said, "That's the first reason. The Celestials have been accused of being afraid of Qin Feng. From then on, the Three Realms all know about this, and the Celestials are in a very awkward position."

"Secondly, there is the legal passivity. King Zhuanxu had long ago established rules that the mortal world should not interfere with the affairs of the underworld, and the living should not disturb the peace of the dead."

"The celestial beings, who were once subordinates of Zhuanxu, also bowed their heads and acknowledged this rule!"

"If the Heavenly Beings are now going back on their word, then in terms of laws and regulations, they will be at a disadvantage, and the various schools of thought will have a reason to launch an attack!"

"Thirdly, the military passivity. The Celestials thought that by letting so many enemies into Zhuolu, they could quickly flatten the Iron Enclosure Mountain. They were wrong."

"First of all, the various forces in Zhuolu are not a monolithic entity. The Li and Yang families are old enemies, the kind who would fight tooth and nail to the death. The Four Seas Alliance is seen as a thorn in the side by both the Li and Yang families!"

"Back when we were in Zhuolu, things were alright. Because of the Four Seas Alliance, the Li and Yang families were able to hold on and maintain a semblance of peace, preventing the fighting from getting too ugly."

"Now that we've arrived in the Underworld, the conflict between the Four Seas Alliance and the Yang and Li families is bound to erupt! These three forces might even start fighting amongst themselves first!"

"After all, let's not forget the famous saying in Zhuolu: 'To fight external enemies, one must first pacify internal ones!' Their real aim in killing the Foundation's Iron Mountain is to first eliminate the Four Seas Alliance within their ranks!"

"But Ao Cheng is not one to sit idly by and wait to die. He will definitely fight the Yang and Li families to the death. As for Tiewei Mountain, their small force is just a feast for the victors in their eyes. They may not take us too seriously."

"What we need to do now is to remain patient and feign weakness, avoiding any display of strength. We need to make them feel that we pose no threat, allowing them to proceed with confidence!"

"So, everyone should keep a low profile these days and not cause me any trouble, and especially not take the initiative to provoke the three major families."

After Fusu spoke eloquently, everyone suddenly had a much clearer understanding of the current situation.

Meng Po was overjoyed to see her beloved so composed and confident, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

After expressing his opinion, Su Huan looked around and asked, "Everyone, what are your thoughts? Regardless of the future, we're all on the same side!"

Meng Yi, the leader, was overjoyed. "This time, the Li and Yang families' allied attack on the Underworld is their opportunity to ambush us. In a sense, isn't this the opportunity we've been waiting for? Zhuolu's hinterland is empty, and the Yang and Li families are all in the Underworld. As long as we leave them all here, they'll all be wiped out. The Foundation can then enter Zhuolu, possessing two celestial realms. Wouldn't that be incredible?"

Sword Immortal Wang Xu's face was grim. "Brother Yi, you only saw the cake, you didn't see the knife! They're all coming for us. Our Iron Enclosure Mountain has less than 100,000 troops at most, how are we supposed to fight?"

"Even the remnants of the Four Seas Dragon Lords' forces number 300,000 elite troops, not to mention the Li family's 300,000 and the Yang family's 250,000—a total of one million soldiers!"

"This doesn't even include the 800,000 troops at the City of the Wrongfully Dead!"

"These are all elites, not those good-for-nothing idiots!"

Meng Yi said, "They have more people, but we have the Wuding River! I don't believe they can cross the treacherous Wuding River!"

The Sword Immortal said, "Brother Yi, let me reiterate, the Four Seas Dragon Army here is a naval force."

Meng Yi said, "I know, they are the navy, and also the navy of the mortal realm. If we're talking about the Wuding River navy, then the first one to be mentioned is the Wuding River's own River Goddess! And the Wuding River's River Goddess is the Mountain Lord's mother! You don't really think the Four Seas Dragon Army can be on par with the local River Goddess in the Wuding River of the Underworld, do you?"

The Sword Immortal asked, "What if the Four Dragon Lords also intervened?"

"Then that goes against the Master's teachings," Gongsun Sheng said wickedly. "Master Meng said that those above the fifth realm encompassing the fifth realm are not allowed to enter; whoever enters will die! Large armies can enter, but experts cannot; this is the rule."

Fusu immediately looked at the lord of Iron Enclosure Mountain, "As a descendant of the River God of the Wuding River, the lord should be able to stop these invading enemies without incurring expenses!"

The mountain lord said, "I can stop them, but with my magic power, I can only hold them off for about ten days at most."

Fusu tapped his fingers on the armrest. "They don't have the guts to launch an attack."

"At least until the three powers in Zhuolu have determined their relative strengths, Iron Enclosure Mountain is safe!"

"Those Celestials are smart, but they're too arrogant. They always think they're in control and can make all their enemies listen to them."

"But people's hearts are complicated, and they don't understand this at all. How can they take Iron Mountain?"

"If they had sent any one of the three, I would have had to deal with them with all my might. Unfortunately, there were too many of them. As a result, Iron Mountain is actually safe!"

"Of course, we can't just sit idly by!"

"Only by taking proactive measures and creating a tense atmosphere can we make the enemy see how weak we are and thus endure and survive."

"Given enough time, the opponent's passive position will become more and more apparent, and they will find themselves increasingly stretched thin! They'll be the ones panicking then!"

"To better demonstrate our weakness, I trouble the Mountain Lord to lead the Iron Enclosure Mountain headquarters to activate the Mountain and River Formation. It doesn't need to be too forceful; just establish a tight defense and create a tense atmosphere at the front. Ideally, we should also summon some fleeing ghost soldiers to feign weakness and deceive the enemy!"

The mountain lord's beautiful eyes gleamed, and she thought to herself that this Qin prince seemed to have something special about him!

The mountain lord immediately cupped his hands and said, "I accept the order."

The mountain lord left the main hall with his entourage.
