Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Yue Yunxuan shook his head, "My Yue Family Army will stay here to guard the village, I can go alone..."

Yue Family Army?

So, Yue Yunxuan's guardian spirit is Yue Fei!

Upon hearing that the Soul Guardian of Wumu Street was surnamed Yue, Li Moxuan had speculated that he was the spirit medium of Yue Fei, since Yue Fei's posthumous titles were Wumu and Zhongwu.

Of course, there is a small chance that it is not, because Li Laoyi's guardian spirit, Li Guangbi, also had the posthumous title of Wu Mu.

"Okay, you can come with us..."

Before Li Moxuan could finish speaking, a soldier from Yue Family Army ran in, knelt on one knee before Yue Yunxuan, and reported: "General, a man claiming to be Yan Zhuangyao, the captain of the fourth squad of the Greedy Battalion, has arrived. He wants to see their leader..."

Yan Zhuangyao? Wasn't he supposed to be stationed at the military camp with Wen Zuoyi? Why would he suddenly come here?

Li Moxuan and his companions walked out of the tent and saw Yan Zhuangyao, who was being stopped outside the military camp. Yan Zhuangyao also saw them and hurriedly said, "Moxuan, people from the Hall of Heroes have arrived!"

Li Moxuan was taken aback. What were the people from the Hall of Heroes doing here?

Yue Yunxuan waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to let him in.

Yan Zhuangyao strode over and said, "A guy named Wu Renlong has come to our camp. He wants us to withdraw our troops!"

"retreat?"

“That’s right. He said that the Black Tower has now been recruited by the Hall of Heroes and is now considered a force under the Hall of Heroes!”

Yan Zhuangyao crossed his arms and said coldly, "He also said that he knows our Greedy Camp has had some minor conflicts with the Black Tower, but now the Hall of Heroes and the Greedy Camp both serve the Spirit Realm, and he hopes that we can put the past behind us and withdraw our troops..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xichen shook his head and couldn't help but laugh, "How arrogant..."

Could it be that he wants to emulate Lü Bu and shoot the halberd at the gate?

Diao Lingyun was also a little angry, "It's true that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to jump out and provoke us!"

If they were to retreat now, wouldn't that imply that the Greedy Battalion was afraid of the Hall of Heroes? Wu Renlong was clearly blatantly provoking the Greedy Battalion!

Li Moxuan didn't say anything else. Retreating was out of the question, and there was no room for negotiation even if Xiang Kunlun himself came to block the Black Tower!

Xiang Kunlun...

Li Moxuan's eyes lit up, a smile spreading across his face as he asked Yan Zhuangyao, "Is Wu Renlong still in our camp?"

"Yes, he brought three thousand troops from the Hall of Heroes and is stationed not far from our camp, refusing to leave and waiting for our reply..."

There are still three thousand troops!

Li Moxuan grinned mischievously and took out the Myriad Forms Mask. "Alright, let's go give him a satisfactory answer!"

……

The main army of the Hall of Heroes, in the central command tent.

Wu Renlong was sitting in his seat drinking the fine wine offered by the Black Tower. He had inquired about what had happened from the Black Tower and found out that it was clearly the Greedy Camp that had broken into the Black Tower to cause trouble.

Although the other side was indeed injured, Black Tower also lost a chieftain!

It's clear that the Black Tower suffered a loss. The Greedy Camp should have just given a token gesture; they shouldn't have gotten into a conflict with the Hall of Heroes over such a trivial matter.

A soldier suddenly ran in, knelt down, and reported, "Lord Wu, King Xiang has arrived..."

"Cough cough...what?"

Wu Renlong, who was drinking, was choked by the news. Wasn't Xiang Kunlun going to attend the Wuming Palace discussion?

How did they suddenly come here? And I haven't received any news about it...

Before he could figure it out, a domineering voice came from outside the tent, "Wu Renlong, it seems you're doing quite well! Even I have to wait for someone to report to me before I can see you!"

That voice... it really is Xiang Kunlun...

Immediately afterward, a figure entered the tent, and the soldiers beside him hurriedly made way, bowing and saluting, "King Xiang!"

Xiang Kunlun ignored him and walked straight toward Wu Renlong. When Wu Renlong saw that it was indeed Xiang Kunlun, he quickly got up and made way for him.

Xiang Kunlun walked to the main seat and sat down. Noticing the fine wine beside him, he chuckled, "Looks like you're living a pretty good life!"

Wu Renlong was taken aback, and quickly began to explain, "Xiang..."

"All right!"

Xiang Kunlun interrupted him, "I'm not here to interrogate you, there's no need to be so nervous..."

He paused, then asked, "I heard you recruited the Black Tower?"

Wu Renlong crossed his arms and nodded. "The reason I'm here is because the Greedy Battalion stationed across the street wants to take down the Black Tower and weaken our forces..."

"We were supposed to be at odds for a while, but since you're here, Xiang Kunlun, we just drove them away!"

He didn't think the Greedy Camp would dare to disrespect Xiang Kunlun...

Xiang Kunlun shook his head. "Wu Renlong, do you know that the Black Tower is an organization that colludes with evil spirits?"

"I know, I know..."

After all, the soldiers in the Black Tower are basically evil spirits...

"Since you knew that, why did you still try to recruit them?"

Xiang Kunlun stared at him coldly, "Wu Renlong, what are your intentions?"

Wu Renlong was taken aback. Didn't you say you weren't here to interrogate me?

He frowned. "Xiang Kunlun, you actually care about this?"

"The four leaders of the Black Tower are all rare Spirit Masters at the Great Scorching Heat level. With their addition, your plan can proceed more smoothly!"

"Don't forget, you're going to..."

Wu Renlong's voice faltered, because Xiang Kunlun was staring at him silently, and at the same time, a murderous intent enveloped him. He knew that if he continued speaking, he would surely die...

"Wu Renlong, don't forget your own identity and status. You are not qualified to tell me what to do!"

Xiang Kunlun withdrew his gaze, stood up from his seat, and said, "You've caused this mess, so deal with it yourself. I'll give you two days to take these three thousand men and take care of the Black Building!"

"Of course, if you can't solve it, I'll take matters into my own hands, but you should know the consequences..."

Xiang Kunlun paused at the entrance of the tent. "The relationship between spirit mediums and evil spirits is irreconcilable. At least until I sit in that position, the Hall of Heroes must not get involved with evil spirits!"

Not long after Xiang Kunlun left the military camp, several soldiers came in and tentatively asked, "Lord Wu, should we listen to King Xiang and attack the Black Tower?"

Wu Renlong gritted his teeth and glanced at them. To be honest, he now suspected that Xiang Kunlun had arranged for some of his men to be there. Otherwise, how could Xiang Kunlun have gotten the news so quickly?

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He knew that if he dared to disobey Xiang Kunlun, he would definitely not let him off the hook.

But with just himself and his three thousand troops, taking down the Black Tower wouldn't be so easy.

How about we use some strategy to get the Greedy Camp to take down the Black Tower, so we can do it without losing a single soldier...

Chapter 73: Old Li's Past

The Greedy Battalion, Central Command Tent.

"Haha, Mo Xuan, that was such a nasty trick!"

Yan Zhuangyao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Moxuan come back after going around in circles. He could already imagine Wu Renlong's expression of discomfort, as if he had eaten shit.

"Who told him to be so arrogant?"

Li Moxuan put away the Myriad Forms Mask, a slight smile playing on his lips. "But with just that few men, he definitely can't take down the Black Tower!"

"They'll most likely want to use us..."

Li Moxuan's actions left Yue Yunxuan completely stunned. Just now, Li Moxuan had transformed into Xiang Kunlun's appearance right in front of him.

Not only their appearance, but even their aura is the same...

Just then, a voice came from outside the door, "Your Highness, someone has come to report that the First Captain has awakened..."

The 10,000-strong army that went on this expedition were all soldiers from the Tian Ce Mansion who had been carefully selected to enter the Greedy Camp.

From the moment they joined the Tian Ce Mansion, they already knew Li Moxuan's goals, their loyalty was absolutely unquestionable, and they had even seen Li Moxuan's true face.

Hearing this address, Yue Yunxuan didn't show any surprise, after all, Old Li had told him a lot of things when he came back this time...

In contrast, he was more concerned about the news that Elder Li had woken up, and hurriedly cupped his hands towards Li Moxuan, saying, "Lord Tanlang, I'm afraid I have to go back..."

"No need, we'll go back with you. Lingyun, you stay here with Zuoyi and Zhuang Yao to oversee the camp. If Wu Renlong dares to cause trouble, just beat him up!"

"Um……"

Diao Lingyun nodded, "Don't worry, I'll help you guard the camp!"

As Li Moxuan had expected, a soldier reported shortly after he left, "General Lingyun, the people from the Hall of Heroes are here again!"

……

Wumu Street.

On their way, Li Moxuan and his companions encountered Li Laoyi, who was with the white-haired girl Jia Ning. "Ahem, what brings you here?"

"Shouldn't we be asking you that?"

Seeing Li Laoyi's weak appearance, Li Moxuan frowned, walked over, and helped him sit down on a nearby rock. "You're injured like this and you're still running around?"

"General, we can't stop Commander Li..."

"It's alright, you guys stay nearby and keep watch! Don't let anyone else get close!"

"Yes!"

After giving orders to the Yue Family Army soldiers who had come with Li Laoyi, Yue Yunxuan walked towards Li Laoyi, his face full of worry, and said, "Brother..."

"Don't worry, my injuries are almost healed..."

Old Li thanked Yuan Xichen, who was observing Jia Ning, saying, "Xichen, thank you for the pills!"

After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "You figured it out?"

Yuan Xichen nodded, "Although you use your spiritual power very well, a high-level Great Scorching Heat Spirit Master can still spot the flaws if they observe carefully..."

Old Li paused for a moment, then looked at Li Moxuan, who waved his hand, "Don't worry, this is your private matter, I won't interfere..."

Clearly, Li Moxuan had also noticed something amiss...

"Never mind, let's talk about it anyway..."
