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

The squad leader of the Trapped Camp gritted his teeth, "Lord Wen, we each serve our own masters, don't make things difficult for us..."

As soon as he finished speaking, his head fell to the ground, and blood slowly dripped from the halberd in Lu Bu's hand. "Since you've chosen to be my enemy, you must be prepared to die!"

Chapter 117: Surprise Attack at the North Gate

An hour ago, at the north gate of the Hall of Heroes.

"The fighting is pretty intense on other fronts, should we go check it out?"

"No! The Celestial Palace General has ordered that our 4000 men must guard the North Gate and are not to move rashly..."

"The north gate is in a dangerous location, it really could be..."

boom--

Before the soldier chatting with his squad leader behind the city gate could finish speaking, the gate behind him collapsed instantly, burying him underneath.

Outside the city gate, Huo Qubing's long sword gleamed with lightning, exuding an overwhelming aura of power, with dozens of Zhaowu Guards following behind him.

Why was there no warning when the enemy launched a surprise attack?

The squad leader was startled and looked up at the city wall, only to find that the Chu soldiers had disappeared and been replaced by rows of Zhaowu Guards.

When did they go up there?

"The enemy is stealing..."

Before the squad leader could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning flashed past, and he instantly collapsed to the ground.

Huo Jiu'an, holding a knife in his right hand, looked at the Chu army guarding the city gathering in their direction and waved his hand, "Fire the signal flare!"

"Yes!"

As a signal flare slowly rose into the air, Yan Qiaoqiao, who was hiding near the North Gate, led 10,000 troops toward the North Gate.

"Commander Huo has captured the north gate. Everyone, follow me and charge into the city!"

"Yes!"

As the 10,000-strong Greedy Battalion poured into the city, the fate of the 4000 Chu soldiers defending the city was predictable; they were quickly annihilated.

At this moment, signal flares were launched from the south and west gates, indicating that the south and west gates had also been captured, although the remaining enemy forces were likely still being cleared out.

Without saying a word, Huo Jiu'an led Yan Qiaoqiao and the remaining soldiers to charge towards the last east gate. At this point, the Hall of Heroes had basically been captured.

However, they didn't understand where the commanders of the Hall of Heroes had gone.

Apart from Lin Leilang and Yang Mie, who were sent out by Xiang Kunlun, Yang Luoqi, Li Gucheng, and Lu Tianyou were standing on a mountain not far from the Spirit Realm.

"The fire is still burning..."

Gazing at the sea of ​​fire at the breach in the Spirit Realm, Yang Luoqi sighed, "It seems the Spirit Realm is finished. Xiang Kunlun really wants to be emperor himself..."

She turned to the two people beside her, "What do you say?"

Li Gucheng shook his head, "I can't do anything disloyal or unjust..."

Lu Tianyou gazed at the sea of ​​fire and slowly said, "This era... will only become more and more chaotic in the future. Even following Xiang Kunlun will not end well..."

Yang Luoqi nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly asked, "Tianyou, where did that bearded guy who always had a cigarette in his mouth go?"

Lu Tianyou was stunned for a moment, then said somewhat speechlessly, "We were teammates, how could you forget his name?"

"Yes! It's so heartbreaking!"

A voice came from behind the three of them. They turned around and saw Lu Shuyu with a cigarette in his mouth.

Lu Tianyou looked surprised. "Boss, weren't you in the human realm? Why are you here?"

"Such a big thing happened in the underworld, can't I come and see?"

Lu Shuyu exhaled a smoke ring, a smile spreading across her face. "Guess what I found when I came over?"

The three exchanged a glance and then shook their heads.

"Haha, look at this!"

Lu Shuyu handed a notice that he had secretly torn down to the three of them. It was the Greedy Camp's proclamation against Xiang Yu.

After reading it, the three looked at each other in bewilderment. Lu Tianyou's expression was strange. "Is this Greedy Camp really planning to restore the Spirit Realm?"

"Who knows? But when I came over just now, I saw a large army attacking the Hall of Heroes. Judging from the size, it should be the Greedy Battalion..."

Attack the Hall of Heroes?

Yang Luoqi stroked his chin. "It seems that only Xian Gong remains in the Hall of Heroes now, right?"

Li Gucheng nodded, "I really don't know why she helped Xiang Kunlun. Someone like Xiang Kunlun is barely qualified to be a king, let alone actually sit in that position..."

Yang Luoqi pondered for a moment, "I remember she once said that she disliked the way the Spirit Realm behaved, hated their contempt for humans, and their superior attitude..."

"Hmm... never mind, let's not talk about this... what are your plans for the future?"

Lu Tianyou made a quick decision, "I'll follow the boss, wherever he goes, I'll go..."

Li Gucheng recalled his defeat in the head-on clash with Huang Zhong that day and declared, "I need to train until I can fully control the power of my guardian spirit!"

"Luo Qi, what about you?"

"Hmm... I'm planning to go to the Greedy Camp; one of my childhood friends lives there..."

Although Li Gucheng and Lu Tianyou were a little surprised by Yang Luoqi's plan, they didn't think much of it.

Because they all knew that Yang Luoqi was simple and honest, and that she was not a liar.

"Big Beard, what about you?"

Yang Luoqi turned to Lu Shuyu, who was standing to the side, and asked.

"As for me... I'd like to find a place where I can coast along while gathering material for my work..."

"Hey, the Greedy Camp seems pretty good!"

Lu Shuyu recalled the Greedy Camp he had visited last time. To this day, he still hadn't seen the true appearance of the Greedy Wolf, and his curiosity was rekindled.

Li Gucheng crossed his arms and asked, "So, all three of you are planning to go to the Greedy Camp?"

"Of course!"

Lu Shuyu's face was full of interest. "I really want to meet Tanlang and see what kind of person he is..."

Lu Tianyou nodded, "Wherever the boss goes, I'll go..."

"Alright then!"

Yang Luoqi turned around. "I plan to go straight back to the Hall of Heroes. My childhood friend might be there. Do you want to come with me?"

"Never mind, we're not in a hurry. We still have some things to take care of..."

"OK then!"

Yang Luoqi waved to Li Gucheng, "Gucheng, let's part ways here! If you miss us in the future, you can come find us at the Greedy Camp!"

"Okay, goodbye..."

After Yang Luoqi and Li Gucheng left, Lu Shuyu walked to a rock, sat down, smoked a cigarette, and quietly watched the embers at the gap in the Spirit Realm's Heavenly Wall.

Lu Tianyou asked with concern, "Boss, is something on your mind?"

"It's not really a worry..."

Lu Shuyu let out a long sigh, "Tianyou, not long ago, Lu Chengxu and Hua Wuxin came to me. They were planning to join the Hall of Heroes and came to ask for my opinion..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianyou was taken aback. "Don't they... usually dislike getting involved in the battles of the Underworld?"

"I don't know, it must be something Lin Leilang and Yang Mie said to them, maybe the rumor that Wu Renlong died at the hands of the Greedy Camp..."

"Did you stop them, boss?"

"No……"

Lu Shuyu took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and said, "Everyone has their own destiny, it's all ordained by heaven. Some people are born to be kings, while others are born to be outlaws."

"If you don't choose the path you're on, no one knows where the journey will end..."

He paused for a moment, then said, "That was the path they chose themselves. Although I am the elder brother, I don't want to force them to do anything."

"Tianyou, you should be able to go on your own and take risks. There's no need for you to always follow me around..."

"Boss, this is my choice..."

Chapter 118: Night Raid on the Empty Camp

In front of Taiji Palace.

Li Yuanba arrived on his horse, Wanli Yanyunzhao, and excitedly dismounted. He then turned to Li Shimin, who was already waiting there, and boasted, "Second Brother, I knocked Xiao Moxuan down with one blow. Can I leave now?"

"Oh? Really?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Yuanba with a half-smile, while Li Yuanba confidently replied, "Of course, I waited there for a while! But Xiao Moxuan didn't wake up for a long time!"

"Then take a look and see who that is?"

Li Shimin gestured for Li Yuanba to look behind him. As soon as Li Yuanba turned around, he saw a figure walking towards them from not far away. It was none other than Li Moxuan who had come over.

Li Moxuan also noticed the two of them, stopped in his tracks, and looked them over warily.

The man standing next to the shroud of mist and clouds, with a sickly face, emaciated, wearing a black gold crown, and wielding two hammers, should be Li Yuanba.

As for the man next to him, he had a square face, a majestic and deep gaze with a hint of playfulness, a thick and curly beard, a tall and strong physique, and an aura of emperors.

This should be Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin...

Li Shimin's lips curled up slightly, "Yuanba, you haven't handled this at all!"

Li Yuanba, who was still a little annoyed, immediately stepped forward with the golden hammer of the drum, "Second brother, give me a quarter of an hour, I'll go and let him sleep for a while!"

"I'll give you half an hour. If you can defeat him within half an hour, my promise will still stand!"

"okay!"

Li Yuanba happily carried the golden hammer of the drum and ran towards Li Moxuan.

Li Shimin sat down on the steps, watching the show while keeping an eye on the situation outside.
