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

Chapter 194 Using a commanding tone when asking for help, Zhang Bairen, you're so awesome!

Just as Qin Feng was frantically carrying out the resettlement work at Xuanyuan Tomb, the Underworld had already entered the third part of its war trilogy. «-(¯`v´¯)-« ➅❾𝓢ĤⓊ᙭.𝕔𝐎м »-(¯`v´¯)-»

Here we must introduce a key figure who has caused the ongoing turmoil of the third phase of the Underworld war to continue to this day.

He is hailed as the shame of the Yin-Yang School, the philosophical brother of Qin Feng, the president of the Foundation, the ironclad ally of the Celestials, Zhang Zhi'en's best friend who talks a good game, an unsuccessful troublemaker, a very successful daredevil, the next ruler of Youzhou Cave Heaven, the advocate of the Primitive Society Return Movement, the liberal arts champion of the Jinghong Competition, the recipient of the Qin Ruishi Medal, a graduate of the second phase of the Foundation's Martial Arts Academy, and ranked eleventh in the top ten of the Jinghong List—Dongfang Laoying.

How did Dongfang Laoying become such a prominent figure?

This story begins with Dongfang Laoying's uncle, the King of Youzhou, the ruler of Youzhou.

On that day, the 200,000-strong army of Youzhou, led by Dongfang Laoying, marched through the Qiaoshan Secret Realm and stormed into the Underworld with great momentum.

In an instant, all forces were on edge, and no one knew what the 200,000-strong Youzhou army was up to!

These 200,000 strong and well-equipped Youzhou cavalry could tip the scales of the entire underworld war. For a moment, Zhang Zhi'en, the City of the Dead, and even the Iron Enclosure Mountain were all on edge.

However, just when everyone was on edge, 200,000 Youzhou cavalry suddenly announced that they were just there to watch the show and would not participate in the war. They told the others to continue fighting and to ignore them.

This statement immediately made people lose their composure.

Two hundred thousand troops, elite soldiers and generals, marched into the underworld in a mighty force, and you're telling me you're here to watch a show?

Do you think we're stupid?

Everyone has heard the story of the clam fighting and the fisherman profiting.

Just as everyone was pondering, a group of bald men from the Western Sect suddenly declared that this army was a large army invited by the Western Sect to guard their paradise. They said that they did not care whether the City of the Dead or Zhang Zhi'en fought to the death, but anyone who dared to touch the territory of the Western Sect would face the merciless iron hooves of the Youzhou army.

Upon hearing this, all forces immediately became alert. Had the Western Sect already made preparations in advance?

Just when everyone was at a loss and was about to ask the Youzhou army whether what the Western Sect said was true or false,

News then came that the Western Sect forces were suddenly besieged by the elite troops of Youzhou. Of the five thousand nuns of the Western Sect, four thousand five thousand were slaughtered, and the remaining five hundred either died or fled. Furthermore, a powerful figure of the Western Sect, using the alias Ksitigarbha, was directly surrounded by the Youzhou army, knocked down from his cultivation level, and his fate is unknown.

This commotion has caused a major incident!

The Western Religion was almost completely wiped out. A powerful figure from the West stepped forward and demanded an answer from the Youzhou army.

The Youzhou army stated, "We did not send any troops; we did not do this!"

But Zhang Zhi'en, both sides of the City of the Wrongfully Dead are convinced that it was you who did it, we saw it with our own eyes.

The Youzhou army declared, "This whole thing was your doing! And you're trying to smear us! Outrageous! We have connections with the Western Religion; we're allies. How could we possibly fight amongst ourselves!"

The City of the Wrongfully Dead: Why didn't you respond when the Western Sect questioned you before, but only now are you responding?

The Youzhou army stated that they had just entered the underworld and were still adapting; were they too late to respond now? Anyway, they didn't kill the Western Religion members!

The City of the Wrongfully Dead says, "You are highly suspicious. I will investigate you."

Zhang Zhien said, "I was saying you were a suspect in the City of the Dead. Should I investigate you?"

The Youzhou army said, "You two are both suspects, and I want to investigate you."

Finally, the three forces had no choice but to turn to Tiewei Mountain and ask its Fusu to investigate the massacre of the Buddhist nuns.

It would have been better not to investigate, but once the investigation was conducted, a hole was found.

That night, the army that went to war against the Western Buddhist nuns consisted of 30% local forces led by Zhang Zhi'en, 30% celestial forces from the City of the Wrongfully Dead, 30% Youzhou troops, and the remaining 10% were vassals of Jin Chanzi, another powerful figure in Buddhism.

In short, all three major forces are involved, including your own Western religion, and they are all killing their own people.

For a moment, everyone was ashamed, including those clamoring Western religious luminaries, who all fell silent.

Everyone did this behind closed doors, but unexpectedly, they all ended up getting involved.

Now that the investigation is complete, there's no need to hide anything anymore. Let's tear off the mask and get down to business!

The first round of war investigation has concluded, and the second round of hot war has begun.

The second round of battles began with maximum intensity. The City of the Dead launched a major attack on Wangxiangtai, and fought a fierce battle with the local faction led by Zhang Zhi'en for dozens of days and nights. Both sides were so engrossed in the battle that it was difficult to determine a winner for a time.

However, at this moment, news suddenly came from Youzhou that they had lost some soldiers and needed to enter the City of the Wrongfully Dead to search for them.

The City of the Wrongfully Dead resolutely refused the Youzhou army, and then the Youzhou army opened fire on the City of the Wrongfully Dead, setting it ablaze.

Upon hearing this, Wu De Xing Jun, who was at the front line, rushed back with a large force, eager to find the Youzhou army, but the Youzhou army had fled.

The commander of Youzhou stated that some ignorant fools had gone to the City of the Dead to indulge in drinking, gambling, and prostitution, and that they had already punished them, claiming it was a misunderstanding. Youzhou also emphasized that the Celestials were their staunch allies and would never betray the Celestial Alliance.

Wu De Xing Jun was furious. He was about to kill Zhang Zhi En, but then you started causing trouble behind his back. When he turned around to fight you, you said you were in cahoots with him.

Okay! You say you're on my side, right? Then let's go and take on Jang Ji-eun's department!

The Youzhou army replied, "Very well, we will certainly oblige."

Next, the war entered a phase dominated by the Youzhou army.

The Youzhou army first stated that they had a rule in Youzhou: fight at sunrise and rest at sunset. If they worked overtime, they would be paid overtime pay, psychological compensation, tobacco allowance, and so on.

In short, no overtime!

Wu De Xing Jun, hoping these guys would be cannon fodder, tolerated their various demands.

Then, upon arriving at the battlefield, Wu De Xing Jun issued an order, demanding that the Youzhou army confront Zhang Zhi'en head-on, while he would sneak up behind their rear.

The Youzhou army resolutely carried out the orders of the Martial Virtue Star Lord, exchanging insults with Zhang Zhi'en in front of the battle every day, and even sending out the Youzhou commander-in-chief to exchange insults with Zhang Zhi'en himself.

However, since the commander of Youzhou had not received any training in eloquence, Zhang Zhi'en, after experiencing the trial, learned the art of eloquence from Gongsun Shengxie and Qin Feng, and was very skilled in speaking. Before long, he actually managed to break down the commander of Youzhou's defenses with his words.

The commander of Youzhou broke down in anger and cursed, "Just you wait! The celestial beings have already gone to steal your backside. You won't live more than three days!"

Zhang Zhi'en shivered and hurriedly turned around, only to bump into the Heavenly Army that had been stealing her buttocks. Another battle ensued!

At this point, someone asked, why doesn't the Youzhou army put pressure on the enemy head-on?

The Youzhou army replied that it was nighttime and they needed to rest. By the time they went back to the field to prepare for the attack, the two of them had already finished fighting.

In this seemingly peaceful war, the Celestials were caught off guard by Zhang Zhi'en's troops, who were waiting in ambush.

What's even more infuriating is that after the commander of Youzhou was accused of betraying his teammates, Wude Xingjun immediately wanted to break with the Youzhou army and treat the commander of Youzhou as a traitor.

But at this moment, the Youzhou army suddenly announced that they would form a new military alliance with Prince Ao Cheng of the Four Seas Alliance.

Both the City of the Dead and Zhang Zhi'en's side were confused by the Youzhou army's actions. Which side was this bastard on?

The current situation is that the combined forces of the Four Seas Alliance and the Youzhou Army are approaching 500,000, which is comparable to the 700,000 troops of the City of the Dead and Zhang Zhi'en's 400,000 troops. If the City of the Dead were to open two fronts at the same time, splitting its forces to fight the Youzhou Army and the Four Seas Alliance on one side and fighting Zhang Zhi'en on the other, it would undoubtedly be courting death. But if it doesn't fight, it wouldn't make sense.

The war entered its second phase, a period of stalemate among the three parties.

The second phase was quickly broken, and there was only one truth: the true core figure of the Youzhou army had been discovered.

Through the tireless efforts of the Celestials, Zhou discovered that the core figure of the Youzhou Army was Dongfang Laoying, a sworn brother of Qin Feng and a student of the second phase of the Foundation's Martial Arts Academy.

Dongfang Laoying was not only a Qin general, but also the nephew of the King of Youzhou. His mother was the youngest daughter of the King of Youzhou.

This incident, once it broke out, instantly caused a huge uproar.

The City of the Dead was furious and demanded that the Foundation manage its personnel properly and get rid of Dongfang Laoying's troops from Youzhou as soon as possible!

The foundation stated that since the chairman was not at home and could not control Dongfang Laoying and the Youzhou army, they suggested that he kill them all to save them trouble.

Zhang Zhi'en, however, stated that he was willing to negotiate with the Four Seas Alliance, and even offered to cede his territory to the Four Seas Alliance and the Youzhou Army, in exchange for defeating the Celestials together.

The Four Seas Alliance and the Youzhou Army showed great interest in Zhang Zhi'en's act of directly ceding his territory, and decisively joined Zhang Zhi'en's base camp to launch a siege on the City of the Unjustly Dead.

The City of the Dead was dumbfounded. How could this be allowed?

Then the City of the Unjustly Dead received an ally: the Western Cult!

The Western Religion somehow acquired an army of tens of thousands and joined the forces of the City of the Wrongfully Dead. Now, the Western Religion's alliance with the Youzhou Army, Zhang Zhi'en, and the Four Seas Alliance are engaged in a fierce battle.

Both sides had their wins and losses, making it incredibly exciting.

In contrast to the bustling activity in the underworld, the brief honeymoon period between the Li and Yang families in the Zhuolu base camp on the surface quickly came to an end. The two ancient families soon broke out into a bloody battle. Although the cause of the conflict and who ultimately won are unknown, one thing is certain: the alliance between the Li and Yang families has come to an end. Even the 200,000-strong army that had been besieging the Jiuli tribe has now split up, each returning to their own home, leaving the Jiuli tribe and the Chiman tribe to fend for themselves.

The Jiuli tribe was overjoyed, but their happiness was short-lived. They encountered the forces of the Undying Mountain, and a great battle broke out between them. The two sides fought fiercely and were evenly matched. In the end, the mountain lord of the Undying Mountain stepped forward and fought a great battle against Chi Man. It is said that the mountain lord had the cultivation of the tenth realm at the great perfection, and he managed to kill Chi Man, leaving him with only a breath left. Fortunately, Chi Man's mount was powerful and finally killed the mountain lord, who perished.

The Lord of the Undying Mountain also became the first Great Perfection of the Ten Realms Land Immortal to fall since the start of the Zhuolu War.

After the death of the Undying Mountain Master, the situation in Zhuolu became untenable. The elders of the Undying Mountain revealed that the Undying Mountain had maintained contact with the Ji family of the Zhou Emperor for many years, and even said that the Undying Mountain was a force that had grown up under the Ji family.

The Ji family's dog died, and the Zhou emperor, in an effort to save face, dispatched a large army to conquer the Jiuli tribe, determined to kill the Chi Man of the Jiuli clan.

However, the Ji family's army was ambushed by the Foundation halfway there. The Foundation, disregarding all martial ethics, carried out a surprise attack and decimated the Ji family's 100,000-strong army.

The Ji family hesitated, as they were unaware of how a large army from the Foundation could have appeared deep within the heart of Zhuolu!

Later, upon reviewing the information, it was discovered that the Ji family's intelligence was provided to the foundation by the Yang family, and the ambush site was located on the Li family's territory.

In other words, the Li family provided the venue, the Yang family handed over the knife, and the foundation carried out the operation; the three forces wiped out the Zhou emperor's Ji family army.

Only then did everyone realize that the so-called parting of ways between the Li and Yang families was actually just an act for everyone to see; in reality, both families had already sided with the foundation and betrayed Emperor Zhou!

The Zhou emperor was furious and decided to personally lead an expedition to punish the disloyal subjects.

Upon hearing this, the seven kingdoms of the human realm were all displeased and condemned the disloyal traitor. "You're just trying to mess with us, aren't you? None of the seven of us have bothered you, yet you're trying to cause trouble for us. Can't you just shut up, Your Majesty?"

The seven kingdoms of the human realm launched military exercises of varying durations near the Zhou royal family on Uranus, surrounding Uranus in layers, making it seem as if they would annihilate your army the moment it appeared.

The seven states' initiative to attack signaled that the Zhou royal family's loss of Zhuolu was now a fact.

But the Zhou royal family wouldn't let this go. They dropped a bombshell, claiming they possessed the Investiture of the Gods! If the Yang and Li families didn't obey, then the heroic spirits of Yang Jian and Nezha would be lost!

If you are willing to listen to Emperor Zhou, defeat the Foundation, expel it from Zhuolu, and support the City of the Unjustly Dead, I can return the heroic souls of Yang Jian and Nezha to you.

After these words, the Yang and Li families were in a dilemma. Yang Jian and Nezha were the things they cared about most. The Zhou emperor was using this as a threat, which was simply an unsolvable situation!

The alliance of the Li family, the Yang family foundation, and the other two families, which had been brought together with great effort, was on the verge of falling apart.

At this critical juncture, the celestial beings who had been indulging the Zhou emperor suddenly appeared and declared that the Investiture of the Gods was a matter of celestial beings, and that the Zhou emperor had no right to make decisions about the Investiture of the Gods and the heroic spirits within it.

The Zhou emperor angrily rebuked the celestial being, saying that this object was left behind by Taigong and was a treasure of the Zhou royal family. What did it have to do with you celestial beings? Don't cause trouble.

The celestial beings said that the Zhou emperor did not know etiquette and that they would teach him how to behave.

The Zhou emperor declared war!

Rarely, this time the Zhou emperor was truly enraged. He once again assembled a massive army and marched into Zhuolu. This time, they advanced straight in, first conquering the secret passage of Qiaoshan, and then storming into the underworld, intending to join the underworld and participate in the grand event.

Fortunately, when they passed by the Jiuli tribe, they were harassed by the Chiman Jiuli tribe and had no choice but to stop and fight with the Jiuli tribe.

In an instant, the Zhou Emperor, the Celestials, the Foundation, the Li and Yang families, the Youzhou Army, the Seven Kingdoms, the Human Realm, the Immortal Realm...

All the interests that could be associated with the underworld started fighting. Even some forces that originally had no connection to the underworld saw everyone rushing to it and felt it would be too out of place if they didn't go. So they all started fighting under various pretexts to enter the underworld. The vast underworld was in chaos, with fighting every single day.

"This is getting more and more chaotic!"

"I originally thought that the chaos would end with Qin Feng's departure, but now it seems that the Underworld is even more chaotic without Qin Feng."

In a certain place in Zhuolu, where clouds and water meet, the scenery is pleasant. A scholar in white robes stands with his hands behind his back, his expression full of sorrow.

This person was none other than the future Jade Emperor, whom he had not seen since their parting in the East Sea, and the most outstanding among the celestial beings—Zhang Bairen.

Opposite Zhang Bairen stood a figure in a flowing black brocade robe, his movements graceful and unhurried—it was none other than the messenger Shen Heibao.

Shen Heibao looked at Zhang Bairen and said, "Now do you remember how good the coachman was? Do you want to call Qin Feng back to clean up the mess?"

Zhang Bairen snorted, "What a joke! The current situation in the Underworld is all Qin Feng's doing! He has to finish what he started!"

Shen Heibao looked at Zhang Bairen and couldn't help but applaud, saying, "Honestly, I admire people like you Celestials. You clearly want to ask others for help, but you talk like it's like others are begging to do your bidding!"

"Are you all so superior!"

"Since you're going to treat this so sophisticatedly, then you guys can handle it yourselves! What did you call me here for?"

"You just came here to show off to me? Is that even interesting?"

"Let's go!"

Shen Heibao flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Zhang Bairen stopped Shen Heibao, "Shen Jun, wait! Don't you want to save your master?"

Shen Heibao stopped in his tracks and said coldly, "Don't mention my master to me. You are not worthy!"

Zhang Bairen said, "Whether you're a good match or not, I know in my heart. I've brought you here today to do some business with you."

Shen Heibao said, "Speak!"

Zhang Bairen said, "Although the situation in the Underworld seems chaotic now, it's ultimately just a contest between the Foundation and the Heavenly Court!"

"The Youzhou Army, the Iron Enclosure Mountain, the Four Seas Alliance, and Zhang Zhi'en are all forces of the Qin Feng Foundation, while the City of the Wrongfully Dead and the Western Cult are the forces of our Celestials!"

"In the current situation, the two sides are evenly matched, and there is no point in continuing to fight."

"I can decide to hand over the souls of Shen Gongbao, Yang Jian, and Nezha to you! At the same time, I will give the Foundation approximately one-third of the area of ​​the Underworld, including Iron Mountain, Evil Dog Ridge, and the Bridge of Helplessness."

"I hope you can persuade the Foundation to withdraw its troops and end this war."

Shen Heibao looked at Zhang Bairen and couldn't help but laugh, "The Celestials have played a clever game!"

"At first glance, it seems like we've come out on top. Our ancestor has returned, and we've gained a third of the underworld's territory."

"But upon closer listening, we realized we had suffered a huge loss."

"You sent back three powerful heroic spirits because you want us to acknowledge that you Celestials have absolute control over the Investiture of the Gods, not because you want the Zhou Emperor to put our Foundation on the opposite side of the Zhou Emperor."

"You ceded us a third of your territory, but that third is actually just barren land in the underworld. Even the underworld has its fertile areas!"

Zhang Bairen said eloquently, "It's pointless for you to be so petty! First of all, your foundation is tied to the Seven Kingdoms, and on top of that, you've colluded with the Yang and Li families to attack the Ji family, which means you've already offended the Zhou Emperor! A little more antagonism wouldn't hurt!"

"As for the third of the barren land, that's not important. What's important is having a say in the underworld, right?"

"If Qin Feng were here, he would definitely agree!"

"Because Qin Feng doesn't really want to interfere in the affairs of the Underworld. Qin Feng knows better than anyone that once the Underworld is established, its momentum is unstoppable!"

"The Heavenly Court is destined to rule the Underworld; this is the inevitable trend!"

Shen Heibao took out his phone from his pocket and said into it, "Qin Feng, did you hear that? Do you have anything to say to Zhang Bairen?"

Qin Feng's voice came through the phone, loud and energetic, "Bullshit! What do you mean I'd definitely agree if I were here? Do you think I, Zhang Bairen, can read my mind?"

"When did I, Qin, become so reasonable? How come I didn't even realize it!"

"Stop acting like we're old friends. Have we even met? Have you no shame?"

"The situation is out of control now, and they want me to clean up their mess, and they're asking me to come out like that!"

"Anyone who doesn't know the situation would think I was begging you to let me clean up your mess in the underworld!"

"Wow, you're so awesome! Celestials are so powerful! I'm so scared!"

"If you're so great, why did you come looking for me?! Go and deal with those 'fathers' in the Underworld yourself!"

"The Four Seas Alliance, the Youzhou Army, Zhang Zhi'en, the local forces, the Western Religion—don't you even know which of these 'fathers' is easy to mess with?"

"Look at those fathers, they'll tear down your Heavenly Court's plaque!"

Shen Heibao coughed a few times, signaling Qin Feng to tone it down. After all, this was the future ruler of the Heavenly Court, and there was no need to make things so tense.

Zhang Bairen was notoriously hot-tempered; his name was practically missing the character for "endurance." Faced with Qin Feng's taunts, Zhang Bairen flew into a rage, shouting, "Qin Feng, today's underworld conflict started because of you! And it should end because of you!"

"If you know what's good for you, you'll obediently go to the underworld and smooth things over, and I'll forgive and forget about it!"

"If you insist on going against me, then if anything untoward happens in the underworld in the future, don't blame me, Zhang, for being ruthless!"

Qin Feng's voice on the phone was still arrogant, "If we can't reach an agreement, then let's fight! Let me make this clear beforehand: if you can't beat me, don't go asking some grandmaster or big shot for help!"

"Let's go one-on-one and see who comes out on top!"

Zhang Bairen laughed heartily, "Good! You've got guts! No wonder you're Qin Feng, the president of the foundation! Let's have a real fight then!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Bairen waved his long sleeves and disappeared.

Shen Heibao said worriedly into the phone, "Why bother! Why fall out with him? He's such a petty guy, just ask for a little more benefit..."

Qin Feng's laughter came from the phone, "This isn't about asking for more or less benefit."

"This is a life-or-death class struggle!"

Do you even understand class struggle?

"What the celestial beings want is a hierarchical order where the celestial beings are respected, humans are equal, and ghosts are lowly."

"What I want is a just class order where heaven, earth, and humanity are equal."

"Have you never heard Confucius say that class struggle is of paramount importance?"

"Once class is involved, it's a fight to the death; there's no room for maneuver!"

Shen Heibao asked, "Did Master Mencius say that?"

Qin Feng said, "Didn't I say that? I remember saying it; it's recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas! Mencius said that breaking down class monopolies and achieving a harmonious society is the best form of the Confucian-Taoist ideal society of today!"

Shen Heibao said, "Fine! Even if I said that, the way you mocked Zhang Bairen so harshly, he might actually beat you to death!"

Qin Feng said, "Please, just because he hit me doesn't mean I won't fight back! Fighting is all about strength. Zhang Bairen may have undergone many tribulations, but I'm not bad either, at least I feel pretty good about myself! Okay, that's all for now. Let's have dinner together sometime. Give my regards to Master. I'll naturally go to Master to receive my punishment after this battle in the Underworld is over!"

Shen Heibao stared at the dial tone on the phone, lost in deep suspicion.

When did Qin Feng ever have the guts to challenge Zhang Bairen to a one-on-one fight?

The world is becoming increasingly confusing.

Although Zhang Bairen's cultivation level is only at the fifth realm, his true strength is such that not only himself, but even the chef wouldn't dare to say he could defeat him!

Where did Qin Feng get the guts?
